A sKILFuL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr.. KassOn, has lately forwarded TO his
Government an interesting account of II
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed Ivy Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted in the removal of n portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly onc-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
Is quite poor. There is peculiar indies.
cribable distress in the stomach, feel.
ing that has been described as n faint
"dX gone" sensation; sticky slime col.
lects about the teeth, especially in the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, it
appears 10 aggravate the feeling. The
eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
a cold pcrspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time, and sleep docs not
seem TO give rest. After Il time the pa.
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
ElOOHly, his lllnu llllcu Will evil lOTc-
bodings. When rising suddenly from
recumbent position there is dizziness,
whistling sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm to keep from
falling. The bowels costivc, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood becom-
| ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After time the
patient splits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fcrmcntcd con.
dition, sometimes swedish to the taste.
Oftentimcs there isa 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 intcs.
tines becomes closed, or nearly so. AL
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with the above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and ninety-ninc cases out of a
| thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if
treated in proper manner. The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Seigel's Curative Syrup, a vegetable pre-.
paration sold by all chemists and medi-
cine'vendors throughout the world, and
by the proprietOrs, A. J. White Uimit-
ed), II, Farringdon.road, London, E. G..
This Syrup strikes at the very founda.
ton of the disease, and drives it, root
and branch, out of the system.

Whlle the United States has some
very large debts hanging over it, it
also has had some very small ones.
For a long time, says the New York
Economist, debt of single cent
was carried ON the Treasury books
from year to year, but the annoyance
Of continuing this account finally be-
came so great that it was in some
way finally disposed of and cancelled.
But another small debt is carried
on the books because to pay it would
cost so much that it is not worth
while to attempt it. When the war
tax was collected from the States in
1861 New Jersey paid 73 cents in
excess of her share, to the repayment
of which she is legally entitled. The
principal and interest now amounts
to 1.70dol., but the money cannot be
repaid without an act of Congress,
and as the necessary printing would
cost several hundred dollars, the
matter is from year to year ignored,
which is about the wisest course to
pursue.
AS they were trudging along to
school, iive-year-old Boston miss
said to her companion, a lad of six
summers: "Were you ever affrighted
at the contigulty of a rodent?"
"Nay, forsooth," he replied; 81
fear not the juxtaposition of the
creature, but dislike its alarming
tendency to an ntimatepropinquity."
Two guests were seated at table
in hotel when dog came up to
them in friendly manner and sat
down by the side of one of them.
This led the other to ask, els that
your poodle?'' "No," was the
reply-''hc belongs to the landlord ;
and mighty cunning dog he is, too.
Between us, he is a good deal
smarter than his MASTER" eyes"
returned the first speaker-"there
are such animals, know. In fact,
/ Once owned such dog myself.
He-"What do you say to Christ
mas for our wedding day." She
II say no, Sir; you must be simple.
Do you think / want to be cheated
out of one set of presents?"
80 dear, mol" exclaimed Mrs.
Silvadollar, "we were obliged to re-
main home this year. / did so long
to see dear Paris again, but paw said
he wouldn't think of it while the
epidermis lasted"
Husband-"The Browns are still
living in New York. Very nice
people, and we are under obliga-
tions to them" Wife-''Pd ask
them out here to spend the summer
with us if ] was certain they couldn't
come"
Bland--"How did your son pass
his college examination? / suppose
he passed without conditions ?"
Blunt-"Yes; that is to say, they
said they would take him under no
