Two More Important Cases.

Your agent being in Columbus Ga a few
days ago, and meeting the venerable brother
J. II. Campbell, we asked him for the news
His reply was, Il have two more important

This venerable man is known far and wide for

ed that the Swift Specific Co. has donated
quite an amount of their famous medicine, to
be distributed by Mr. Campbell among the
poor of the city; hence his remark He said:
Il have just seen a lady who has been great

said she had been treated by several physi-
clans during the past three or four wears with
the old remedies, but without giving any re-
lief. suggested Swfft's Specific and she took
four bottles and is now apparently perfectly
well her hand is smooth, and not single sign

one OF the worst cases OF this terrible disease
that have ever seen. The suffering of this
poor creature was beyond expression. She
tried every remedy at hand. including mercu-
~ and iOdide of potash, but she only grew
worse. She was in this condition when I first
saw the case. I soon had her taking Swift's
Specific, and she has now only taken two bot
Ties, but every mark of the disease has almost
entirely disappeared. Her general health has
greatly improved It is one of the most re
markable cures that has come under nv no.

mingled with every class of society and oh
served closely the variety of diseases which
affect humanity. Blood diseases are the most
numerous and the most difficult to remove
To overcome these diseases, it is my deliberate
judgment that Swift's Specific is the grandest
blood purifier ever discovered. Its effects are
wonderful and consider them almost mirac-
ulOus. There is no medicine comparable to if -

The Misused ii of England.

Richard \. Proctor in May Atlantic.1
There seems no room for doubling that
the h disease had its origin in London.
Walker speaks of it rs specially prevalent
in London in his day, and even now it is
more common in the pure cockney dialect
the most hateful form of the English
language in existence) than anywhere in
England. Moreover, it's prevalence in
other places than London is greater or
less according as such places are nearer to
or farther from the metropolis We find
no trace of it in Cornwall or Wales very
little in Cumberland, Northumberland,
and Yorkshire. In the midland counties
1t is less common than in the southern. 1t
is at its maximum in the heart of London.
In this respect it is like the r-and-lU mala-
dy, which, even when at its height (it has
now nearly died OUT, was never so badly
felt in the provinces as in the metropolis
though of course, like all metropolitan
defects, 1t spread in greater or less degree
over the whole country.
This being the case, we are justified in
assuming that the disease had at first that
form which is characteristic of the fault
of language found at great centres of pop
ulatiOn, and especially in the chief city OF
the nation. If you wish to hear French
clipped and slurred you should 90 to Paris
and German suffers like treatment in
Vienna and Berlin 1t is the same with
English in London. In great and busy
city, men shorten their words and sen
fences Ms much as possible, being assured
that what they say will be understood, be
cause all speak the same language and
adopt the same convenient Authorizations
This, just as in Paris cettc femme becomes
cite t'me, and Volta &C que G'cst becomes
VIA e. q c'cSt, so in London Gin
Bank becomes cry B'ak; hoU-pcnnl
is abridged first to hd'pcnny, anc
then to hapny or 'dpnU Omnibus is
shortened into bus every one in it ad
dresses the cOHductor as 'ductor the con
ductor shortens the cry of al right into
ry, announces the threepenny fare as
MripnS, and so forth. In fact, it may be
laid down as general proposition that
although Il language becomes modified il
provincial places and in colonies, it is only
in busy cities, and chiefly in capital cities
that a language is modified by clipping
and slurring.

The President Not Afraid of Assassina-
ton.

Some sensational papers have been pub
fishing a statement to the effect that Pres
ident Cleveland is in constant fear of as
sassination, and that, by advice of his
friends, he never walks in the streets or
or rides in a conspicuous carriage, or in
places where his presence is likely to at
tention or expose him to danger. Col.
Lamont says that this story is utterly I'M
founded. He says the President has new
er supposed he was in more danger of
assassination than an ordinary citizen,
and has never taken any precautions or
given the subject any thought In driv-
ing out he never selects his companion
with Il view to his efficacy rs Il bodyguard
and in walking does not shun public or
exposed places through any personal fear
a few days ago he walked through the
monument grounds and vicinity with Mr.
Villas, and his drives have always been in
open vehicles, and generally through the
suburbs. a friend of the President SAYS
that Mr.. Cleveland read with much inter
est III the morning papers an account of
how he had gone through II railroad acct
dent and narrowly escaped assassination.
1t was the first intimation he had received
there really was breakdown of the en-
CINE and some delay, the President did not
notice il. lie did not hear the pistol shots
SO wildly described, and he was under the
impression that his trip had been without
accident or incident until he read the
newspapers.

The announcement of the extensive ar

gives rise to the query why Vermont has
no State association of II similar nature.
There seems to be every reason why such
an organization should be formed, as the
principle of association and interchange
of ideas applies to tremen as well as to
other organizations. Massachusetts and
Connecticut have State Flremen's associa-

A TERRIBLE ENGINE OF WAR.
The Dirigible War Balloon and What Is
Claimed for It's Effectiveness.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May THE ord
has recommended the construction of a
monster war balloon for the use of the
government, and.General Russell Thayer
OF this city, the inventor, has received in
structions to begin the work. The board
recommends that balloon of seven tons
ascending force be constructed and that
trials be made with it, 1t will cost nearly
$4,000. 1t will be the largest balloon ever
constructed, with diameter of sixty feet
and length of ls5 feet The "dirigible
war balloon" as it is called is a cigar
shaped machine, pointed at both ends, and,
unlike ordinary balloons, sails through the
air longitudinally. 1t is about three times
rs long rs it is wide. A working model
constructed recently showed that the bal
loon would be of great value for war pur-
poses. 1t can be raised and lowered at
Will, requiring no ballast, and will have Il
speed OF thirty miles an hour, The mo
tive power is compressed air,and the steer
ing apparatus will enable the navigator to
steer III any direction. Should this inven-
ton prove entire successful it will make
the most destructive engine of war ever
devised. General Thayer claims that he
can lay city in ashes with it in Il night.
Tons OF dynamite percussion bombs may
be carried into the clouds and dropped
while the balloon sails over camp or for
tfication or fleet of ships. The work of
destruction, General Thayer says, can best
be accomplished when the balloon is mt a
height of 800 or 600 feet When the bal
loon is constructed a trial will be made at
OF Judge Thayer and graduate of West
Point.

GRATING A MUSCLE.
1t is Transferred from Dogs Thigh to a
WOman's Arm.

y
Woman's Arm.
An unusual surgical operation was re-
Gently performed in Bellevue hospital
New York. 1t is probably the most i'm
portant case in the history of the hospital
since the retirement of that eminent sur
geon, the late DR.. James Wood. New
interest is added by reason of the fact
that it is the first time that what is known
as muscle grating has ever been accom-
plished in the United States. 1t has been
performed by Professor Valeria of Den
mark, but it remained for Bellevue to ini-
tate this important treatment in this
country The history of the case from a
surgical standpoint is now being prepared,
but, although performed several weeks
ago, it has not been publicly announced.
Annie Finnell, twenty-three years of age,
earned her living as a laundress. In July,
1884, she met with an accident by which
she lost the use of her right arm. While
engaged at her work she was so unfortu-
nate as to catch her hand between the roll
lers of mangle in the laundry. Her arm
was drawn in between the rolls. No
bones were broken, but the forearm was
crushed, and suffered deep liberation
just below the elbow joint. The muscles
were badly torn at the elbow. This was
accompanied by the loss of tissue 1t re-
quired several weeks to heal the wound
aud the member was crippled She was
able to move her arm only with great diff
ficulty and practically lost the use of her
fingers. Crippled as she was she was I'M
fitted for work, and without means to
employ surgical aid, applied for treatment
at Bellevue.
She entered the hospital on,Feb II, but
there was a great delay in reaching her
case. Muscle grating was considered the
only method that could be employed that
would restore to her the use of her arm
Finally it was arranged that the operation
should be performed on April 5. 1t took
place i'll the amphitheatre or public oper-
ating room of the hospital Besides the
full surgical corps Il large number of
medical students were present. One of
the visiting surgeons conducted it and it
lasted half an hour. a healthy dog was
secured that was to furnish the muscle
that Was to take the place of the dead
tissue.
The young woman was put under the
| influence of ether and placed on the oper-
atinY table. The full nature of the opera
ton had not been explained to her, but
she fully realized that an experiment was
to be performed that might restore to her
the Use of her arm. Alongside the oper-
atlng-taDle, on another table, the dog was
LAID. An antBSthetic was also administer
ed to it. An incision was made in Miss
FinnelPs arm at the seat of the injury
and the flesh laid open. The ends of the
