Extfrpation OF the Right Kidney.
uorfPo

New YORK cor dartforu Il1nes.1
One of the most difficult operations of it's
character ever attempted in the country and
brought to successful termination, was that
performed by j. Williston Wright, professor
of surgery at the New York University Med
ical College. 1t consisted in the extirpation
of the right kidney. The patient, lady high
in the social circles of Now York. has boon
for the past nine years constant sufferer
and her condition rendered absolutely
wretched by the presence of calculus. DR.
Wright treated her with more or less success
until finally driven to the wall he advised
tirpation of the kidney, pointing at
the same time, in the clearest terms, to the
almost innumerable dangers attending such
an operation. The lady, driven to distraction
by her protracted sufferings, without the
slightest hesitation consented. When it was
understood that it was matter of life or
death, her many friends tried to prevail upon
her not to undertake such risk, declaring
that it would be a foolhardy attempt and
only end in absolute failure. With heroic
determination, and relying upon the superior
judgment of her surgeon, she was not to be
moved from her purpose, and SAID she was
ready to bear all consequences. On Saturday,
the 18th inst, the operation was performed,
and the lady, thanks to the skill of Dr..
Wright, and the admirable care administered
afterward, speedily recovered from its
effects, and bids fair to live many happy and
long years of usefulness. Those of the read
ers of the Times who are familiar with, the
situation of the kidney, and the delicate, i'm
portant and complicated structure by which
it is surrounded, will be sure to appreciate
to it's fullest extent the danger of the opera
ticl.
To show how successfully .l4e lady rallied,
I would state that the temperature has never
been more than 1O140
The operation has been performed several
times in Europe, but never, L believe, with
the signal success attained by Professor
Wright 1t should be asource of congratula-
ton to American surgeons that one of their
number has proven that this operation can
be carried through without dangerous compll-

The Popular Course.

Colonel Francis E. ParLerzs Lecture.
There was large audience at the High
School Halt last evening to listen to Colonel
Parkers address on 1.-THE Present Situation
and the Future of Our Schools" On the
platform were seated Messrs. ZunGer Harri-
son. Peck, Strong, O'Brien and Pond, mem
bers of the Board of Education. Superin-
tendent Dutton promptly at o'clock in
troduced Mrs. Blinn, who delighted the as
sembly with song and was warmly encored.
Following her response came flute solo
from Frederick Guilford. He was also
heartily encored and responded with good
success. Thus a half hour was spent in a
very charming concert. Mr.. Dutton now
spoke in a complimentary manner of the
speaker of the evening and prepared the au-
dience for Colonel Parker. Mr.. Parker men
toned the names of noted men who had
done much for education, not emitting Gal
laudet, who had taught the deaf and
dumb in their remarkable language.
He called attention to the old New
England school houses, the old teachers and
the KIND of schools then taught. He spoke
of the new departure and of the great prog
ress of the present day in grading schools
and adapting methods of teaching to our
present population, not now confined alone
to the sturdy New Highlander who inherited
his desire for education. We must continue
to meet the wants of the nation as it is, and
as it will be in the future. He ridiculed the
A fashion, and recommended the teach
ing of facts before words, making the
scholar to think and understand, to
de. elop the mind first and let skill
and knowledge be secondary His remarks
concerning methods, motives and manage
ment in teaching were very practical. He
said the best men and best women must be
obtained not because they live in New Ha
ven and were our sisters cousins and aunts,
but because they were the very best to be
found IN the land, just IS ministers are called
to the pulpit, managers for banks, and
superintendent for railroads are selected
Then If this don't succeed turn them out.
The speaker wildly and forcibly spoke of
distractions to the progressive in educational
means and methods which had been met
WITH evidently speaking from experience
and both interested and diverted the audi
ence with his happy reference, to some Of
the difficulties encountered, such as the pow
er, tradition, the adherence to old ways be-
cause they were old, and the distrust of any
thing new tangled The lecturer is an
energetic, lively speaker, who does not drone
on the platform, and kept his audience wide
awake to the close of the lecture He was
warmly applauded
