Surgery of Dynamite.

Scientific American,
The medical faculty having recertly
given sono little attention to what they
are pleased to called Surgery of Dyna-
mite by which is meant the effect of
dynamite explosions upon those in their
immediate vicinity. 1t is interesting to
learn from these discussions that the jar
or shock which the system receives diff
fers altogether from that which:is the re-
suit Of blow upon the head or body, or
resulting from railway collisions. These
latter follows a comparatively well-locaI-
lied and gross form of violence whereas
the shock coming from Il dynamite ex-
plOsiou is diffused and divided.
In the case of two young women who
were injured by the recent explosion in
the Tower of London, neither suffered
from contusions, nor did they bear any
marks of wounds save a few scratches
received from falling upon pile of rub
bish. The sensation they experienced
was not that of being violently knocked
kown, but of being pushed back" Both

inferior dental and auriculo-temporal
nerves, and profuse catarrh showed

Bennefield bought the "bill of sale"
from Mrs. MCGOWAN, aud when Griffin

liked, but he must let the woman alone.
He is keeping the bill of sale to show, if

nefield thinks he made an excellent
trade, and seems to be as proud of his

MR.. GL1DST0NES NEW POLICY.

England has been dazed by Mr.. GladstOnes
Irish programme. Our London correspondent,
after an exhaustive review OF the situation,
prOnounces the ccptiOn of the proposals for
Dublin Parliament far more hostile than could
have been anticipated. In his Judgment the
effects of the disclosures will be more likely to
widen than to close the divisions of the Liberal
party since Mr.. GladstUnc's championship OF
home rule will apparently comp lete the aliena-
ton of a large body of the Wings as well as
strengthen the Tories in Parliament and in the
country. Not only the immediate but the ultl-
mate results have probably been carefully cal
culatcd in the statesman's library at llawarden.
The keen observer who has watched the ebD
and flow of action and reaction in English pub
lie life for half a century, could not have failed
to forecast the storm his new policy would raise
and the political upheavals that would follow.
The vicissltudcs of Sir Robert Pcers fortunes
had put him on his guard against undcrcsti-
mating the effects Of his sudden conversion to
home rule. He has not forgotten the historic
scene when Mr. Dsraeli savageiy attacked Sir
Robert Peel as a rccreant leader and assumed
command of the Tory party, nor the sudden
downfall OF the victorious Ministry which had
carried the new policy of free trade. Pccllsm
involved the disruption of party and political
reorganization from the bottom. In like man
ner Mr. GaldstOne's new policy may render a
reconstruction of parties inevitable. But this
prospect will not necessarily discourage a
statesman of his experience. lie knows that
Sir Robert Peel when killed by a shying horse
on Constitution Hill was looking forward to a
speedy resumption of office as the leader of a
| noUerful policy. STRENGTHENED. not weakened,
| by his conversion to free trade. lie can also
survey the successive stages of his own con-
tinuous progress from narrow Toryism
to advanced Liberalism, and can reflect that
