A SKlLFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr.. Kasson, has lately forwarded to his
Government an interesting account of a
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 one.third of the organ-and,
strange to say, the patient recovered
the 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

Oftcntimcs there is Il palpitation of the

''Why one of those poor walking

After carefully reading the article,
Mr.. X. threw the paper, growing ;
"YOu women amt grain of

brightly continued: But how

When Ben Thompson, the despera-

advertising agent was seen by him
painting an advertisement of some
patent medicine on the outside Of a
corner grocery. Ben, having been
informed that the man had not first
obtained the owners consent, ordered
him to Grace it Immediately.
The painter protested that he had
permission to paint the sign, but Ben
was not to be triAed with. Drawing
forth his "six," he Numbered Give
minutes to take il of.
And it was off before five minutes
had expired.
About .she time the painter finished
es-asing his work the owner of the
store appeared, and, seeing the situa-
ton of things, informed Thompson
that the advertiser had obtained his
consent to paint the sign.
Thompson apoligozed to the man Of

Then at the time Of planting corn

drop a full single handful immediate

strong stalk Of corn to grow on quite
poor land, and each stalk will yield
an ear of solid grain that without the
ashes would be but sorry stuff. There
is no better fertilizer than ashes of
hard wood, and being in concentra-
ted form very little Of it is required
to'make good corn. There is proba-
bly, no better nse to make Of it than
to put it all under the corn. Two or
three bushels 10 enough for an acre Of
corn, d handful to the hill, and asthe
ashes cost nothing, it thus becomes
the cheapest and best fertilizer for

lot of ashes, which we intend to use

this way Of fertilizing corn by the adj
vice and practice Of an old daskey,
who always makes plenty Of good
sound corn. 1t is important to keep

SUNSHINE FOR SLEEpLEss PEOPLE.
--Sleepless people--and there are
many in America--should court the
sun. The very worst soporife is laud-
anum, and the very best, sunshine.
Therefore, it isvery plain, poor sleepers
should pass as many hours as possible
in the sun. Many women are martyrs
and do not know it. They shut the
spnshine out Of their houses and their
hearts; they wear wells, they carry
parasols, they do all possible things to
keep off the subtlest and yet most po-
tent influence which is intended to
give them strength and beauty and
cheerfnlness. Is it not time to change
this, aud so get color and roses in our
p.le cheeks and strength in our weak
!. ois, and courage in our timid souls ?
The women of America are pale and
delicate; they may be blooming and
8 rong, and the sunlight will be q po-
tent influence in the change.

An AnstraIian Haron.

About forty-slx years ago farmer
named CLARK left the shores of England
for Tasmania for the purpose of farming,
taking with him considerable capital,
and being, in addition, a remarkable
Judge OF sheep and cattle. He appears
to have failed in that island, and as the
Tasmanians were forming new settle
ment on the shores of the great Austria
liam continent, near Port Phillip, he de-
termined to try his fortunes there. Where
the Queen City of the South, Mel
bourne, with its 400, 200 inhabitants,
now stands. was then waste, inhabited
by the savage and the kangaroo. Clarke
at this period received from distant
relative a considerable sum of money,
which he Immediately invested in land
in the vicinity of Melbourne, then
called "Baregrass." AS the Colonial
Government OF New South Wales grant
ed special surveys of $4,000 at the uni
form price of five shillings per acre,
Clarke Immediately invested his legacy
in one of these lmmense blocks, and
thus laid the foundation of his gigantic
fortune. This was in 1840, and for sew
eral years he continued to take up sheep
and cattle stations in the uninhabited
regions of Australia Felix, now the Col
ony OF Victoria. lie always attended
the Government land sales, and bought
largely in the Ballarat districts, where
the richest gold mines in Australia are
situated. The discovery of gold at
Mount Alexander and Ballarat increased
his growing wealth, as he exacted rigid
ly tribute of royalty for permission to
mine on his coveted lands, and thus OBJ
tanned immense sums.
Never were riches more worthily be-
slowed. He continued till the time of
his death, 1854, to buy lands, sell merino
wool and deal in cattle. His son sue
ceeded to this vast inheritance, which
comprised at his fathers death, 2, 500,.
600 merino sheep, 800, 900 cattle, and
nearly 5000, 900 acres of freehold lands,
and leasehold of Crown lands equal
in area to that of England. The pro-
bate duty paid to the various Colonial
Governments was calculated on an es.
tate valued at $50. 900, 900, though that
was not more than half its real value.
His son, the present Lord Rupertswood
has by his care and attention quad
rupled this vast fortune. When the
Duke of Edinburgh and the sons OF the
Prince of Wales visited Australia, they
were feasted right royalty at Ruperts
wood, the family seat, and Queen Vic
toria created him Baron RupertswooG
of Rupertswood, in the Colony of Vic
toria, and a Peer of the United King
dom. Without any exaggeration, the
Australian is worth 200, 900, 600, anG
the influx of population is adding daily
to his wealth,
His generosity is unbounded. Tnt
charitable institutions of Melbourne
and the colonies owe him great debt o
gratitude for his hberslity. Ruperts
wood, the seat of this bucolic Australian
is superb, and can compare with any
residence in the Old or New World, it
estimated cost beng "a, 900, 600.

has the animal trained to all the devil
try of which he is master, and those
who have recently seen the chicken
disappearing from the Bank street
butchers stall, or the small boys sled
flying down Green street, with black
Newfoundland dog as the motive
power in both instances, will now rec
ognize the work of the bad boy. He
has the most innocent methods Of COW
ering his tracks, and it was not until
Thursday that the Day reporter got on
to him. About in the afternoon the
bad boy was strolling leisurely up State
street with his dog at sufficiently re-
spectful distance to create doubt as to
its ownership. Just then big yellow
dog was passing by. A look of intelli-
gence passed between the bad boy and
the N Newfoundland; the bad boy winked
twice and looked at the yellow dog;
the Newfoundland made spring for
the critter, seized him by the leg, and
with vigorous wrench dislocated the
poor brute's shoulder. In three seconds
| the dog was invisible and the bad boy
offered numerous suggestions to Geo.
Chapel while he sat and band aged the
broken limb. The reporter'ssuspicions
were aroused, and he had the satisfac-
tion of having them confirmed ten
minutes later when he surprised the
bad boy in Green street hallway, Civ
ing his dog a lesson in selecting the
largest and best of a lot of apples and
making off with them while he gave
chase.
