MAKING a HUMAN FACE.
Thomas Colts Thirteen Years of Expert
ence Under the Surgeons


In 1871 Thomas Colt, then u years old,
was taken to Bellevue Hospital suffering
from a disease which had destroyed his
nose and lips and had begun to affect his
eyes. He was taken in charge by DR..
GustaYus Sabine, and since that time has
been under treatment with a view to re-
placing the lost parts of the face.
After the course of the disease had been
checked the process of building up was
begun by cutting away the flesh about the
edges of the oritice, where the nose had
been. Then the inside of the large finger
Of the right hand was tiayed, and the fresh
cut wound was fitted where the nose
should be. The hand was held IN place
by bandages and plaster Of paris until the
finger had grown fast to the forehead and
cheeks of the patient. In the mean time
the mouth was covered by the hand, and a
silver tube was inserted into the lads
throat, through which he was fed, and
through which he also breathed.
When the grating of the finger to the
face was completed, and circulation
established, the finger was amputated
near the knuckle, leaving two and a half
joints attached to the face. The operations
so far had required about year, but the
process was only begun. The next step
was to trim down the finger into the
shape of a nose by removing the bone and
gradually building up the flesh on each
side and drawing the skin from the cheeks
and forehead over it. In course of time
the result sought was obtained, except
that there were as yet no nOstrils.
The eyes of the unfortunate boy had
both been drawn out of position somewhat,
and these were Strengthened by clipping
nerves in the manner usually adopted by
oculists in treating cross-eyed people.
The eyebrows were also patched up at the
inner ends.
The next step was to give the boy new
pair of lips. This was done gradually by
taking pieces of flesh from the cheeks and
grating them in place bit by bit.
Yesterday, after thirteen years of ex-
perience under a surgeons knife, having
meantime undergone and recovered from
thirty different operations, the patient,
now young man, left the hospital. His
face was smooth, and to the casual
observer bore no traces of what he had
passed through. The case is eXtraordi-
q airy for the extent Of the work done and
the perfect result obtained. Not less
extraordinary was the fOrtitude of the
patient, who never murmured under the
necessarily painful operations, and who,
when walking the floor because of his
suffering, was wont to cheer up the other
patients in the ward by telling droll
stories, of which he had large supply.
He was known in the hosital as ''Patient
Tommy"

CHAPTER VII.
Life hath as many greetings as ithath sunny
hours.

Life hath as many greetings as hath sunny
And over some are scattered thorns and over
others flowers"
One evening some three weeks after
Franks departure Clare begged her
mother to accompany her to Mrs. COch-
rane's. They rode up together, and re-
ceIyed a hOspitable welcome from Mrs.
COchrane and Carrie, who came out to
meet them.
Mr.. Cochrane had been attending to Mr..
HOughtOn's business for many years, and i,
by prudent management and industry,
had acquired comfortable competency.
He had negroes enough to have set up an
independent establishment ON small
scale, but Mr.. HOughtOn was so unwilling
to part with him, and he had such a COM
Portable home and his servants could
work to Just as good advantage where
they were, he receiving a portion OF the
crop for their services, he still remained.
They were living in the house which
Mr.. Haughton had built for himself and
lived in for awhile, but his wife dislked
the country, and, to please her, he had
moved to the city. The house was ele-
CANT and spacious, so much so that they
did not occupy the half oft.
1t was neatly but plainly furnished, and
everything about it wore an air of COM
fort. Mrs. COchrane was a model house
keeper ana nOIeQ all Iu6 country dIOuuu
for homemade wines, fine preserves and
jellies, cakes, custards and creams. She
was noted also fer large benevOlence, which
manifested itself in kindly Offices TO the
sick, both near and remote. Though she
devoted very little time to social visiting,
vet if there were any sick in the neighbOr-
hood. she was ever the first TO minister to
their wants and, with unselish kindness,
to perform, either day or night, the office
of nurse.
4 am so glad to see you, !" she said, cor
daily welcoming her friends; cit is so
long since you have been here, but for
Clare and Carrie we should live in utter
ignorance of each others well-being."
II am always resolving" replied Mrs.
HonfieuT, "to be a better neighbor, but
somehow do not seem to accomplish my
purpose, though L think Clare does her
share of the visiting and mine, too"
"We are always glad when we see Miss
Clare coming. Her presence spreads sun
shine wherever she goes, she is so full of
merry laugh and chat, though she does
not seem to be in as good spirits of late as
she used to be. / have been telling her
she must have lost her heart"
"NO, l think not" said her mother.
ssWe have had house full of company,
and the young people held high carnival
for awhile, ana now, that things have re-
sumed their old channel, a Aeaction has
taken place. Does not Car feel some
thing of it, too? She partie Pted in their
gayetles."

JACKSON, June pa most distressing
accident occurred here few days since
resulting in the death of one of the bright

community. Ivy Eyrich, about ten years
old, son of Mr.. G. Eyrich, one of our most
prominent citizens, whilst exercising with
several of his companions on a spring
board fell and fractured his arm, the bone
protruding through the skin. Though
painful and severe, the injury was not
considered as specially serious. After the
lapse of several days he was on Monday
evening taken with lockiaw and after suf-
fering excruciating agonies he died last
night.
No calamity or occurrence has for years
excited greater interest or more earnes.
