A MOST remarkable surgical operation
has been performed by DR.. William
Goodell, of the Philadelphia University
Hospital. This was the successful re-
moval of q tumor weighing ll2 pounds
from the person of woman. The Phil
adelphia Times, which gives a descrip-
ton of the operation, says that the
woman was about five feet and five
inches in height, and that, owing to an
ovarian tumor, she measured quite as
much in girth. The tumor made its ap-
pearance about nine years ago, and
grew with amazing rapidity. For some
time the woman had been unable to as
sumo any but sitting posture, and her
vitality was being slowly and surely
sapped. The patient was placed under
the influence of ether, and the operation
safely performed in the presence OF
thirty attending physicians and sur
geons. When the mass had been COM
pletely taken from her person it was
placed in a tub of the largest size, and
filed the vessel to within three inches OF
the top. The tumor was weighed and
turned the scales, as has been said, at
10 pounds. 1t is believed to be the
largest ever removed from human be-
ing. Subsequently the patient, now re-
duced to a mere skeleton, was gently
placed on the scales, and found to weigh
seventy-fve pounds, or thirty-seven less
than the mass taken from her body. On
recovering consciousness the patient
could hardly find language to express
the sense of relief she experienced. The
absence of the weight that had been O
burden to her for so many years was Sc
novel and pleasant that she was compar
atively buoyant in spirit.

New YORK dry-goods merchants CON-
plain that their trade is being damaged
by the aesthetic movement. They of the
elmer Brotherhood" care only for odd
tints, and have no regard for the quality
of the material. A dirty red Or green
ery-yallery color appeals to their dam
aged minds in way that silks and rich
goods OF the fashionable colors cannot.
The modistes say also that the aesthetic
style is not profitable one for them,
and that it cramps their inventive pow
ers. The merchants and modistes may
rest content. Fashion and vanity will
soon bring the limp disciples buck tc
their doors.

NIGHT IN THE MOON.

At last, however, night sets in. Crate
full it comes after the sun has gathered
up his shifting rays and gone down to
his rest. ALI at once we are piunging
into comparative obscurity, for again
there is no twilight to stay the steps OF
departing day. At one stride comes the
dark. But, looking up into the sky, we
behold vast orb which pours down
milder and more benefcent splendor
than the great lord of the system. 1t is
such moon as we terrestrials cannot
boast for it is not less than thirteen
times as large end luminous as our own.
There it hangs in the armament, with
outapparent change ofplace, as if "ixed
in its everlasting seat" But not with
out change of surface. For this great
globe is painted panorama, and, turn
ing around majestically on its axis, pre-
sents its oceans and continents in grand
succession. AS Europe and Africa,
locking the Mediterranean in their en-
brace, roll away to the right, the stormy
Atlantic offers its waters to view, then
the two Americas, with their huge for
ests and vast prairies, pass under in
spection. Then the great basin of the
Pacific, lit up with island fires, meets
the gazer's eye, and as this glides over
the scene the eastern rim of Asia, the
upper portion of Australia, sail into
sight. The Indian ocean, and afterward
the Arabian sea, spread themselves out
in their subdued splendor, and thus in
four and twenty hours the great TO-
tundity we tread" turns his pictured
countenance to the moon and grandly
repays the listening lunarians by re-
peating, to the best Of its ability, the
story of its birth. Nor is the sky less
marvellous in another respect, for the
absence of any atmospheric diffusion OF
light permits the consultations to shane
out with distinctness which is never
paralleled ON earth. They glitter luke
diamond points set in armament Of
ebony. Stars and clusters which we
never see by the naked eye flock ihtc
view and crowd the lunar heavens.-

In company with Doctor Ovcrman
| left Spring City on the llth forJew-
eft, a little mining town at the ter
minus of the first y mile section of
the Tennessee and Sequatchce Vail "
Railroad. Our train consisted of
three or four flats for construction
purposes and one mail car with n
half dozen plain seats. We began to
ascend the mountains about mile
from Spring City, we reached the top
Of Waldcn's ridge near Grand View
about five miles from Spring city.
Here we get Il splendid view of the
n. C.. mountains; near the top OF
Walden's ridge we cross Gum Gap on
a trestle about 100 feet in length and
$50 feet high. From Grand view TO
Jcwett is one dense wilderness. The
large growth is mostly oak, chestnut
and pine, the under growth of holly
and laurel, both ever greens, giving
the country wild peculiar looking
air. The people in those noun
tains though they present rustic
woodland appearance are as a general
thing generous, kind-heartcd, indie
pendent people. They make their
living at home, manufacture their own
raiment and have plenty Of hog and
hominy and corn bread in dodgers
that would intimidate circular saw.
Among the many strange things to
be seen in these mountains is what is
called the falling springs where the
water bursts forth from the mountain
in sufficient quantity to run Il saw or
grist mill, runs a few yards and dis
appears again. After rambling in
the mountains all day returned to
Spring City at night, where l re-
NAMED until the 18th, when l went
to lockwood where 1 found the Roam
Iron Company running perhaps the
most extensive iron works in East
Tennessee. Here very unexpected
ly met with my old time friends, the
Erwin Bros, Mr.. Thomas Erwin the
senior member and business mana
ger of the firm was friend in my
childhood days. l knew him when
all his riches consisted of one ordi-
nary violin. lie began life as a clerk
in country store at salary of six
dollars a month. lie is now one of
the wealthiest, most prosperous and
perhaps cleverest merchants in Roam
county,
l reached this, my native heath on
Saturday, the 18th inst. Though |
have enjoyed myself hugely, yet my
visit is more or less disappointment.
Ten years yesterday since babe my
friends in this part farewell, to go in
search of home in Kentucky. But
alas! where are they now?. One

able to realize what changes this
country has undergone in the last

The Democratic caucus of the
Lower House of Congress, met Tues
day night to consider the Morrison
Tariff Bill. After much discussion
the following resolution was adopted
by vote of la TO 81:
ReSOlred, That the bill common-
ly known as the Morrison Tariff Bill
shall be taken up for consideration
at the earliest practicable day and
reasonable time for debate allowed
thereon, and after such debate that Il
bill be passed for reduction of the
duties and war tariff taxes that the
adoption of this resolution shall not be
considered binding in controlling the
individual action of Democrats, ex-
cept TO the extent that each member
may feel that he ought to be inilu-
cnced by the expressed opinion of a
majority of his associates.
1t will be seen that conservatism
won victory and the extremists, of
the Watterson school, failed to carry
their point. Three members who
were absent are known to be oppos-
ed to the bill making GO, whereas Mr..
Watterson has been declaring that
20 would be all that could be mus
tered against it. The resolution
does not bind the members to the &C
ton ofthe caucus and with GO mem
bers against the bill it is not at all
sure that it will not be defeated by
the Republicans and protection Dem
ocrats. Mr.. Watterson has shown
that his political forecasts are unre.
liable. He is an unsafe leader
and an extremist and the welfare of
the party demands that he be muz-
zled. 1t will not be the part of wis
dom to send him to Chicago as a
delegate for he Is man who "talks
good deal with his mouth" and a
man who proposes to read Democrat
ic leaders out of the party, is not tho
kind of man to trust on the eve of al
important election.

THE London Truth is moved to say
that the thefts, murders and outrages in
the English compartment cars are in
creasing, and there seems no remedy
against them short of the adoption of
the American style of car. A murderer
might, he says, in nine cases out of ten,
escape by jumping out as the train is
slackening speed. Had LEROY done so,
it is doubtful if Colds murderer would
have been discovered. A correspondent
says that a few days before he was in n
compartment car with another man AMI
they both watched each other as though
the other was q cut-throat, for they had
no assurance that such was not the case.
Every time either put his hand into his
pocket, tho other stood ready to throttle
him. No one dares to get into com.
partment alone or when there is only one
other person.

"Counting Out in New York.
New York Times. I

While the Western Union Company was
in use yesterday TO fabricate monstrous IN
truths which il pretended merely to trans
NIT, many people were talking of the chance
that the vote of New York might not be
counted as it had been cast. There is no
danger OF this result.
miscount could only happen, under the
laws of New York, if there were any cleo
ton district in which there was no mi
nority, and, therefore, no representative
of the minority to watch the count, or IL
that representative had been bribed to
acquiesce in false count. The law pro-
vides for an Inspector of Elections on the
part of the minority in every election dis
trict of the State, and such representative
was, as a matter of fact, present in every
election district of the State on Tuesday
night. The Inspectors are not permitted 10
pass upon the legal suffciency of the ballots
dropped in their boxes. They are
to forward specimen Of each kind
of ballot used, with their return,
to the Supervisors of the county. A
record is kept of the announcement of the
count in every election district, and as the
function of the Supervisors to whom the re-
ports are made is simply to add the totals OF
election districts, any discrepancy between
the vote as announced by the Superv isors
and the sum of the district totals would be
detected and exposed at once, and would
ment. No doubt upon proof of the discrt p
ancy a court would issue g mandsmus to the
Supervisors to make a recount on arithmeti-
cal principles, and not upon partisan senti-
ments.
The functions of the State Board Of Can
vasseTs are also ministerial. Their duty is
simply to add up the county totals. OF
course, any failure here would be visible to
the whole State. A question as to the for
nal sufficiency of the ballots may be raised
by the protest of any member of the State
Board, which is filed with the return made
by his associates.
The whole business OF counting votes is
done in the daylight, from the first step TO the
last. Election frauds in this State have been
generally confined to this city, and to cases in
which the Inspector appointed en- behalf the
minority has been in colllusion with his as
sociates. There is absolutely no fear that
the vote of the rural districts will not be
counted as il is cast
