A Remarkable Surgical Oper-
atiOsRs
Scientific American.

Thomas Colt has been recently been
discharged from Bellevue Hospital, this
city, with restored nose. He was de-
priVed of his nose q number of years
ago by cancerous affection technically
called lupus, which destroyed the nasal
bone as well as the tieshy covering, and
even the lower eyelids: His treatment
was undertaken over ten years ago by
DR.. Thomas Sabine, the Professor of
Anatomy of the College Of Physicians
and Surgeons, and has been successfully
pursued up to the present time. DIR.
Sabine first addressed himself to the
task of arresting the disease, and when
that was accomplished he restored the
lost eyelids by grating thereon healthy
skin taken from the cheeks and fore
head of the patient. The more difficult
operation of restoring the nose follow
ed. This was done by making use of
the third finger of the left hand, from
which the nail was first removed by
nitric acid. Then the end of the finger
was fixed against the forehead between
the eyes, the epidermis at the points of
contact having been previously remOv-
ed to bring about adhesion. At the
same time the finger up to the third
Joint was split open on the under side,
the flesh stripped off, and the flaps
| thereby produced were connected with
| the flesh of the cheek on either side.
The hand was fixed in the proper posi-
ton by plaster of Paris, and held so
until the adhesion was complete. Then
the finger was amputated at the second
joint, and the free edges of the part ad-
| herring to the face were arranged so as
to form the wings of the nostlils. Du-
ring all this time the nasal oritice was
kept open by hard rubber tube. The
treatmedt necessarily occupied much
time, and involved number of painful
operations, but was completely success
full, and it is almost impossible now to
distinguish the nose thus fashioned by
surgical skill from one cast in natures
own mold.

ascribe al criticism on the Administra-
tion to the discontented spirit OF dIsap-
pointed office seekers. We produce the
following from the Texas Slftlngs, III
order to show what is the opinion
among disinterested observers who
have no expectations or amOltlOns IN
this State. This is only specimen OF
the comment in all the newspapers OF
every shade of opinion. Inc socailed
Democratic Administration mas brought
Louisiana into approblum all over the
Union. With disordered finances, Win
an imperious machine giving complete
ascendeDcy to an Oligarchy, with clyli
convulsion and public distrust' she
gives the American people another eX-
ample of PROSTATE State. These evils
have not been wrought by carpet bag
gers. Own citizens, to the manor born,
are responsible, and great will be their
condemnation some day:
"Have they a Republican form OF gov
ernment in Louisiana We oplne not:
The McEnery ring control the affairs OF
the State. TIE Governor appoints the
Police Jtlrors-wEich are synonymous
with the County Commissioners IN other
States. And these Police Jurors ap-
point the Commissioners OF election,
who in turn make their report to return
ing officers who are appointed by the
| Governor. where the returns are final.
With such ring, whose interest it is to
! keep each other in Office, it makes little
difference how the people vote-the re-
| turns are made to suit themselves ana
as they are only responsible to each 9th
er, they have comparatively little 10
| fear so long as they are true TO the ring.
Before President Hayes established his
so-called self-gOvernmentln Louisiana,
the people of the different parishes
elected their own Police Jurors, put
now the State officials simply make up
their minds what the returns shall be
and they get them. Sometimes the peo-
nle rebel against this kind of business
and then the Governor calls out the
| militia aud sits down upon the malcon-
tents, who imagine that they have a
right to have their votes counted prop
erly.
The people Of Louisiana are not al
ways patient and forbeaTing. Qcca-
sions arise when they think they have

Three Unsuccessful Attempts at Suicide
Made by Mrs. Louisa MoAllister-' Throat
Cutting, strangling iand Hanging
Tried In Yain--A Sad Case.

Wednesday afternoon Amanda Dan.
sizen, of North Cherry street, filed an
ailldavit against Mrs. Louisa McAllister,
her sister'in, law, for disturbance and
using scandalous language. Policeman
Banghman served tine warrant on Mrs.
McAllister, at the residence OF n married
sister on East North street, where the
officer found her In an excited condition,
lamenting her mlsfortunes and claim
Ing that she was being prosecuted and
bounded. When he attempted TO arrest
her she cried out frantlcally that
she was tired Of living, and
SELLING o sharp case knife
made q pass at her throat. Baugh-
men caught her arm and taking the
knife from her hand, led her TO the city
prison. When putting her In cell No. II
OF the w0men's department., Mrs. Meal.
lister quickly wound her apron about
her neck and strangulatiOn would have

Yant quickly removed the improylsed
ch0ker.
After being safely lodged In the cell
she kept up o continual crying and
moaning. until toward evening, when
she suddenly grew quiet. Policeman
Baughman suspected all was not right,
and entering the lobby, on which the
women's cells face, found Mrs. McAllis-
ter In the act OF hanging herself. This
design he frustrated by transferring
her TO q cell In the mems
department, where she was under
constant surveillance. Her plan for
hanging was good one. She tore the
lining from her dress and wound II into
o rope. The one end she tied TO one OF
the bars, forming the grated top Of the
cell; this grating Ia about nine feet
from the floor. On the other end of the
rope she made slip moose that would
do credit TO hangman; this
she placed about her neck,
climbed TO the upper bunk, wrapped the
slack OF the rope about her neck, and
was about to jump down and end her
earthly troubles, when discovered
This morning a DEMOCRAT reporter
found her crOuched down In corner Of

about the welfare Of her little girl.
