A Novel Surgical Operation.

BosToN, April 20.-The operation
Gen. Joshua l.. Chamberlain, president
OF Dowdoiu College, was one of the most
novel and daring in the history of sur
gerry. For some months Gen. Chamber.
lain has been suffering from a serious
complications resulting from q wound
received during the war, when ball
passed through his body from hip to hip.
A difficult operation, at the hands Of DR..
Joseph II. Warren, President Lincoin's
physician, saved his life at that time, but
a recent abscess in the abdominal cavity
was followed by slouching away Of
about two inches Of the urethral canal.
Natural healing was impossible, and i:
was decided to attempt the unprecedent-
ed feat of building up the missing section
with transplanted flesh. DR.. Warren,
with two assistants. performed tho opera.
tion yesterday afternoon. The process
occupied two hours, during which time
the patient remained under the influence
of anesthetics. The abdomen was laid
open and slowly, bit by bit, the living
aesh was cut from not vithl parts and
sewed into pls &c in the shape Of the miss
ing organ. Inflammation was guarded
against by constant stream of antisep-
tic spray upon the internal organs, and
finally, alter many careful stitches had
been taken in the internal construction,
the outward opening was closed and the
operation -ss successfully Completed.
The patient rallied better than was ex-
peeted, and to-day he has slept conside-
rably, aud tie fever has not been es Sc
we're as was feared would result. 1t Is
expected that the mechanical union o4
transplanted tissue will become vitalized
and if no mishap occurs all danger will
be passed in week or ten days.

Steam Cotton Mills.

In speaking of the proposed steam
cotton mill at Newberry, Col. r. J..
Mclaughlin says that "after the 1st of
November Alabama coal can be laid
down in Newberry for $3.50 per ton, and
Pennsylvania coal can now be had via
Charleston at about the same price.
The expense of fuel for lO, 900 spindle
mill will be about $1,000 a year. A
steam mill of 10000 spindles will cost at
least 900 less than q water mill of
tho same capacity. The fact that the
Newberry Mill will be located where it
can get all the cotton it needs from the
wagons ;s another advantage we will
have over the water mille. In this way
there will be saving of quarter of Q
cent. per pound on the cotton used.
Besides we will be at no expense for
drayage, which costs Piedmont $4,000 a
year, though Il 10 only three-quartsrs of
q mile from the railroad. There will be
no necessity to build school houses and
store. houses, and again, being located in
o town offering school facilitiea, good
society, and opportunities for religious
instruction, we will be able to get etfie;sa.
managers aud superintendants upon
better terms than q mill built In the
woo6s, and remote from all these advan.
tages." In view of all these facts,
Mr.. McCaughran thinks that there is no
doubt about the financial success of the Gu
terprise. Mr.. Lockwood, mill engineer
Of Providence, r. l., who has built many
mills at the South, Is of the same opin-
ion.

A Strange Story.

Some time before Christmas DIr. and
Mrs Edgar Brewer Of Hartford, Conn.
lost beloved daughter, who was 1G
years of age. So attached was the father
to his daughter that he would not permit
her remains to be inferred, aud the BODY
has remained in their parlor ever since
the, young lady's death. A Hartford
undertaken goes over to the house of
death daily and brings his skill to bear
in preserving the remains. Every
night, after the midnight. hour has
been proclaimed by the clock, Mr..
Brewer gets up, dresses himself and sits
up with the corpse the rest Of the night.
He addresses the inanimate form with
words of endearing affection and speaks
as tenderly To it as though the girl heard
his words. When daylight creeps into
the room the poor man goes out once
again, seeks his bed and finishes his
sleep. These nightly vigis have been
kept up increasingly since the death of
the girl. The neighbors have tried in
vain to induce him to consent To burial.
His wife has suffered greatly by her hus-
bands strange conduct, but nothing that
she could say would induce him to part
with the body. But he has now at last
consented that vault be built in his
door yard, which, by his express orders,
is to be made easily accessible, Sc that he
can still hold nightly communion With
the object of his affection. It appears
that when the girl was on her dying bed
she expressed dread Of being put into
the ground, and her father told her that
she should not be. When the vault is
built the remains can be removed and
the dying girls wish respected and the
fathers promise kept.

SPECULATING In STAMPS.

Crookedness of a Postmaster:
Pressing Stamps to run a Press,
Postoffice Inspector John Frey
gives to the Chattanooga Times the
following account of the doings of one
Postmaster Lee, now in the custody
of tae Government
He states that Lee, who had resided at
Colllnsville since a boy, was recently,
through the influence Of his friends, ap-
pointed postmaster of Driskel, Ala. Dris-
kel is little hamlet in the mountains near
Collinsville, containing scarcely 1oo lnhab-
itants. Capt. Frey says that Lee repro
sented to the postoffice department that
his place was fourishing town of 5000
inhabitants; that already it contained two
large manufactures, two fourishing col
leges and new citizens were focking in by
hundreds; that it was one of the most pro-
gressive towns in Alabama, and was ad-
vancing with remarkable strides. He de-
clared that the business of his office was
large and growing, and supplemented this
statement with request for $500 in stamps.
Another request for similar amount soon
followed, and shortly afterward another re-
quest came, the supplies being promptly
forwarded.
He began the publication of the Collins
vile Headlight under auspicious circum-
stances. He made it an eight-page sheet,
and published matter enough for city OF
10,0o0 Inhabitants. He also opened an ex-
tensive land, emigration and intelligence
bureau, and had stationary Autographed in
the east. setting forth in the most eloquent
terms the magnificent possibilities of his
section and the unparalleled facilities oi
his business.
Things went swimmingly for awhile. He
bought presses, type, and spent nearly
$1,000 in this city for stationery and various
articles; but his dealers often wondered
why he invariably paid in stamps. He
seemed to have an exhaustless mins OF
stamps, and whenever he would order an
article stamps were forwarded to iquidate
the debt. He discounted stamps from ten
to thirty per cent to raise cash, and otter
offered hundreds Of dollars at seventy cents
in stamps.
Last week he sent in another order for
$500 in stamps. The postal authorities di.
rected Capt, Frey to investigate the mat
ter, and the stupendous swindle was un.
earthed. Lee was arrested and had pre-
liminary hearing yesterday, and was plac.
ed under $4,000 bond. He was taken
through the city last night to Huntsville,
Lee was in the city yesterday morning.
We understand he bought a gold watch,
paying for it S400 in stamps, and that he
made other heavy purchases, paying in
stamps. He sold merchant in the city
$50 worth of s}amps for $50, and we learn
he frequently sold his stamps in Chatta-
nooga.

A Voice for the Convention.

BORDEN SPRINGS, Ala. June 4th, 's3.
Editor Gazette:
AS there seems to be general stir among
our people both for and against Conven-
ton, think it right that Jack Daw should
have his say also.
That there is need of unity of action a.
mong US, 1 think all fair minded men will
admit, but can this be secured by a Nation
al Convention
The time has come for US to stand up
like men and battle for recognition.
That our rights, privileges and liberties
are trampled on, none who have lived in
this Southland will deny. But the question
comes how can we remedy the evil? an
swer by meeting in National Convention
agreeing upon plan and then stick to it.
But perhaps some will say this can not
be done in a conventions. I know if we
only meet, and only make speeches and
pass resolutions and 60 home no good
will be accomplished But, when the Hon
Fred Douglass joins in the call, will any
lover of his race dare to doubt the wisdom
of the one man that we have taken pride in
pointing to as leader ? Give us Con-
vention composed of such men as Douglass
Rapier, Langston, Lynch, Pinchback,
Still, Williams, Greener, Smalls, Rainsv,
Turner, and hosts of others that could
mention like them, and l will guarantee
harmonious action.
We need the Convention, because the
feeling is becoming universal that we MUST
ACT some way to secure the recognition
needed. see that .ex-State Senator Glsed
and II. D. Jones, of Mississippi are advis-
ing the coloree people to stay out of poll
tics. That neither the celored or any 9TH
er man should make business of politics,
I am willing to admit. Bat that he should
stand aloof and tuke no part in saying who
shall make and execute his laws, 1 can not
admit. On the contrary think be should
not do SO.
We need to push to the front until Re-
pUBLIcANs will admit our manhood and be
willing to measure us the same fare chat
they do for themselves.
Don't be uneasy "Echo" am not accus.
toned to resort to the "code."
