The Arlington Cemetery.

The case involving the title to the
Arlington estate, in which the Airing
ton cemetery is located, is now under
argument in the United States supreme
court. Some of the best lawyers who
have studied it are of the opinion that
the United States supreme court will
sustain the decision of the court be-
low, which atfirms the title in the Lee
estate. One of the main points is that
Secretary Stanton declined to permit
the representatives of Gen. Lee to ten
der money for the payment of the di-
rect tax, for the failure to pay which
the land was sold, and through which
sale the government secures its only
title. Secretary Stanton maintained
that rebel could not be permitted to
tender the money by proxy, and as
owners of the estate did not appear in
person, the money could not be re-
ceived The United States court in
Virginia has decided that the proper
tender was made, and has decided in
favor of the claimants. 1t is not the
purpose of the heirs of General Lee to
claim the estate, even if the Supreme
court shall decide in their favor. They
design, however, to use favorable judg-
ment as the basis of Il claim upon Con-
gress for the payment to them of an
equitable sum for the estate. They
disclaim any purpose of ever attempt
ing to interfere with the cemetery, in
which, 5000 Union dead are buried.

Remarkable Surgical Opera
ton.

A difficult surgical operation has
been performed upon young man in
Paris, which was the extraction of a
spoon from his stomach. The young
man has completely recovered from
the hazardous effects of the operation,
and is now enjoying his usual health.
Interesting particulars are given of this
operation, which was performed by DR..
Felizet. BY the use of the Faucher
tube introduced through the mouth
the stomach was cleansed prior to the
novel operation, which prevented the
risk of peritOnitis. An incisiOn was
then made i'll the epigastric region.
In order to render the coat of the stom-
ach easily accessible, NJ. Felizet en-
plOyed the following continuance {:
To the end projecting from the mans
mouth he fitted a spherical vessel con-
tanning ether. This he heated by sub
mersiOn in water of sixty degrees tenn
perature. The ether vapor rushing
through the tube filled the stomach,
which, becoming distended, was
brought forward to the wound effected
by the operators knife. The spoon
was thus readily found and extracted.
1t measured over nine inches. 1t had
been accidentally swallowed by the
man, waiter at cafe, in the attempt
to initiate the feats of the famous
swOrd-swallOwer.

When the Comet was DiscOV-
cred.

1t is said that the honor of the dis
cOvery of the comet belongs to DR.. B.
A. Gould at COIdOva, S. A. 1t was
first seen at his observatory more than
a day previous to its discovery by Fin
lay at the Cape of Good Hope, and five
days before it was seen by DR.. Cruis
at Rio. Late letters from the Cape to
IL prominent English astronomer show
that the comet was observed there up
on the day of its periheliOn passage
clear up to the edge of the sun, where
it suddenly disappeared. This observa
ton has no parallel in the history of
astronomy, and is evidence of the eX-
traOrdinary brilliancy of the comet
Mr.. Chandler, of the Harvard observa-
tory, has just computed new orbit
which is of much greater accuracy than
any heretofore obtained, and gives I'M
mistakable evidence of periOdicity.
By means of this a comparison of the
observation of Finlay with the position
which the present orbit gives for that
date has been made, and the variation
between the observed and the comput-
ed place is less than the diameter of
the nucleus of the comet. From this
close agreement, it is evident that no
sensible perturbatiOns attend the very
close approach to the sun.

girls, who accompanied us, thought
l have omitted telling you about the
people and our labOrs among them,
trusting by and by to find more time,
and have done as you requested, told
you about ourselves.
You inquire about our housekeeping
arrangements. Did / not write you
last winter that Miss Blake and felt
it our duty to go to housekeeping Be-
cause Mrs. p. was i'll and Mrs. HIS in
crease of family brought an additional
increase of labor and care. | am afraid
some of our friends would have
laughed heartily at our "set-out."
You know that necessity is the moth
er of invention" We collected the
broken cups and saucers which we
found around the house, belonging to
the late DR.. West, and cemented them
together; but as soon as boiling water
was poured into them they fell to piec-
es, greatly to our grief and mortltica
ton. Notwithstanding the cat broke
our only pitcher, we managed to keep
house all winter very comfortably with
eight dishes, mostly tin dishes-rather
primitive to be sure, but glad to hear
that some others on the way. Yes, we
have finally employed a man-servant,
for a moderate sum he has had an ex-
perience of ten years in missionary
families, and although he complains
that we have so few materials to work
with, | think we shall like him. A
woman could only work in the house,
but man can go to market, buy every
thing we wish and bring home pur-
chases, hire horse for us, and do a
great many little things about the
house besides doing our cooking. He
has made some very good doughnuts
and respectable bread, which will be
quite a relief from our many cares. 1t
is an old saying that it takes Jew to
deal with Jew, and the same is true
with the Americans, for they are apt to
take advantage of foreigners in the
shops, and then the current money oft
en- changes, and our man understands
all the tricks of their trade. My eve
takes care of itself in IA strong light :;
it closes, but fear if my eye is single,
my whole body is not full of light. As
we have not yet obtained Bible read
CT, have persuaded Miss Blake to I'M
dertake the work for the present. Our
school will soon commence and then
we must plunge into the work in ear
nest. l. r. O.

Two years ago when hotel in Osh-
kosh, Wis, burned, a rich man named
Paige, whose wife was imprisoned on
the fourth floor, offered 5000 to any
one who would bring her out, living
or dead. A fireman named Charles
Ref risked his own life and brought
what proved to be the lifeless body of
the woman to her husband. Then the
latter refused TO pay the money on the
ground that Ref was IA fireman and
had only done his duty, and in a law
suit the lower court took the same
view, but now the supreme court de-
cides that the man was by no means
bound to risk his life in that way, and
he will get the $1,000.

One of the curious condolences which
keep alive popular superstition has ex-
cited considerable interest in Georgia.
Everybody who visited the late Sena-
tor Hill at his home on Peach-tree-
in Augusta, remarked the cedar which
stood in the front yard. The tree was
planted by the Senator and he took
great delight in its rapid growth and
its beauty. During his sickness a
blight fell upon it; in spite of the
gardeners most assiduous care the dis
ease spread, and the last sign of life
disappeared with Senator Hills death.
1t was recently dug up for removal
and found to be decayed from top to
roots.
