nm active exercise Of Kentucky chivalry
upon his Yankee body. but his courage
dlsarmed his foes. But at last he met
his match. One Of his pupils was tall
young fellow, with muscles like the At
lantic cable. His name was John Har-
rlngton, and he hailed from the vicinity
Of Independence. Harrington was
quite lively, and several times Teacher
Blaine found 1t necessary TO threaten
some very extreme measures.
Still Harrington did not behave. lie
became worse, and the story runs that
he stole one of Blaine's love letters
from a desk, and had much sport over
II, much TO Blaine's discontinue. IL Is
even tradition In that section that lie
tore the letter into bits, and distributed
them among his companions. The fes-
tive Speaker was white with rage. lie
was much more worked up about 1t
than he was over the Mulligan letters IN
Congress.
lie undertook to inGict physical pun
nishment upon the offender, but IL was
an unlucky day for the pedagogue.
Harrington hauled of and knocked
the combatlve Blaine out in less than u
minute. lie was still plucky and stood
up bravely against his opponent. but
soon gave up the battle. Other pupils
lnteriered and prevented any more
bloodshed than was furnished by the
brawny Harrington's knuckles. Blaine
was badly bruised up, and had to DIS
miss school for several days.
His eyes were swollen and his sight
somewhat impaired. Harrington was a
little lame in the arms from his exhil-
arating exercise. but he showed up ms
usual next day. lie even wrote a letter
of apology to Blaine's sweetheart, plead
ing that he be forgiven for both stealing
the letter and pummellng her lover.
when Blaine got well he had no better
friend than Harrington. A year later
Blaine married the writer Of the love
letter and went TO Maine, where he took
such rapid rise In politics.
Harrington was for many years resi-
dent Of Kentucky and lived about or In
Covington. lie was once deputy sheriff
of Kenton county before the war, and
was. during the campaigns of 1876 and
1880. warm Blaine man and ready, al

of Messrs. Harris q Bro, located about
two miles west OF Main plaza, which has
a capacity now of only about 1900

larged as rapidly as possible. Like all
other enterprises of the kind 1t was an
experiment, but happily 1t will prove
good one, and In the end will add greatly
to the city. 1t is located near the Alazan

A sKILFul SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr.. Kasson, has lately forwarded TO his
Government an interesting account of u
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful TO tell, con.
sisted in the removal of portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly Onc.third of the organ-and,
strange TO say, the patient recovered
tile only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is II peculiar hides
cribablc distress in the stomach, n feel.
ing that has been described rs II faint
"0H goRc" sensation; Il sticky slime col
lcCts about the teeth, especially ia the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, it
appears to aggraVatc the feeling. The
eyes are slmken, tingcd with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
cold perspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time, and sleep docs not
seem to give rest. After time the pa
ticnt becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy. his mind filled with evil fore.
bodngs. When rising suddenly from
rccumbcnt position there is dizziness,
whislling sensation, and hc is obliged
to grasp something firm 10 keep from
falling. The bowels costive, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood bccom-
ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After Il time the
patient splits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fcrmented con.
dition, sometimes swedish to the taste.
Oftcntimcs there is palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable to retain any food
whatever, Us the opening in the intes-
tines becomes closed, or nearly So Al.
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with Tie above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine

thousand have no cancer, but simply
