A GRATEFUL MAlAYAN
Sends Valuable Presents to President
Arthur.

Arthur.
The State Department has received advices
from our Minister at the court of Siam that
very handsome present for President Arthur
has been received at the Legation in Bangkok,
consisting Of Il Malay kriss of the finest temper,
with sold gold h 1t, and incased in gold alloy
ed soabbard and two spears of quaint Malay
fashion, with gold sheaths for the beautiful ly
polished blades. They arc reported to be OF
great beauty, and are very valuable. They
were sent to the President under singular and
interesting circumstances. Many Americans,
particularly if either owners or underwriters,
will remember that in 1881 the barque Cor nga,
of Boston, while on voyage from Siam to
Java, went ashore during a heavy gale at
point on the peninsula Of Malacca, called lulu
ban, and went to pieces almost Immediately.
The crew ard officers reached the shore safely,
and wero received by the chief at that
point most Hospitality. He took the cap
tain, his wife and children into his own house
and provided for the others in the village. He
kept them for nearly "A month, and treated
them with the utmost kindness and courtesy.
When the news reached Bangkok, our minis
Ter at that rort took the necessary steps ioI
sending relief, and thy were all brought up to
that port and shipped via Singapore to the
United States. Our minister, General Halder
man, in his report 10 the government on the
matter, recommended that this hospital y
shown to distressed Americans should not go
unrewarded, and on this recommendation the
Government caused a valuable gold medal to
b struck md sent out, together with Win
chester express rifle, mounted most elaborate
~, and gilt and nckelcd proiusely. These
were sent to Gen. Halderman and by him pre-
scented in person to the chief mt his own village
in Tulnban. The poor Rajah was quite over
come by the great honor done him for, as he
thought, a triiling act Of kindness, and, in re-
turn for the attention shown him, had the su-
perb presents prepared for transmission to bis
brother chief Of the American confederation.
Tuluhan is Malay and Mohammedan State,
though a Deepen ency of Siam, and attached to
the province of Paiani.

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

faint sensation; but, on the contrary, it
appears to aggravate the feeling. The
eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky

TO grasp something firm to keep from

circulate properly. After time the
patient spits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fermented con.
dition, sometimes sweetish to the taste.
Oftcntimes 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, as the opening in the mites.

though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with Tie above named symp-
