ABOUT two years ago Charles Hinton,
aged twenty-five years, was injured in a
| railroad accident near New Orleans, La.
The car in which he was seated was thrown
| down an embankment and smashed to
pieces He was asleep at the time OF the
accident, and the first thing he knew he
was pinned down between two seats with
blood gushing from a terrible cut. The
| end of piece of timber had struck him on
the right cheek and torn cash which ex-
tended by way of the throat to his left ear.
But this was not the most serious injury.
The hyoid bone, which is that just above
the protuberance in the neck popularity
known as "Adam's apple"
had been broken. The vocal
chords which are at the top of the wind
pipe were bruised and began to rapidly
swell over the orifice where air is breathed.
Hinton was removed from the wreck as
soon as possible, and carried to the Charity
Hospital at New Orleans. The cut was
sewed up with ease, but the broken bones
| was cause of serious trouble. The SWELL
ing of the vocal chords it was seen would
soon completely close up the wind pipe
and some other means of breathing had
quickly to be provided. An orifice in the
wind-pipe just below the chords was made
and a silver pipe; about two and half
inches long and quarter of an inch in
diameter, was inserted. The tube was
curved in shape; about three-quarters OF
an inch protruded out of the neck into THE
air, a fiange at the end preventing it from
falling back into the throat. Through this
tube the man inhaled air. The operation
was common to surgery as a temporary
expedient, it being usual for the vocal
chords when bruised to soon resume theil
normal proportions and allow the free ac-
cess of air to the windpipe. In this in.
stance, however, the broken bone continu
ously pressed against the chords and pre-.
vented their proper healing. To this pa
tient was presented the embarrassing al
tentative of either forever utilizing the
tube as a breathing adjunct to the demon
allied windpipe or shutting off the morta
coil. He determined to cleave close to hi!
silver pipe, and so far it has done him ma
lures service.
Mr.. CRIDLAND, English Consul at Mo
bile, thus reports on the timber trade O
that port for 1884: 'This important branch
of business, which is one of the leading ant
growing industries of Mobile and Soutf
Alabama, has during the past year held it,
own, and, notwithstanding the general de
preston in trade, many shipments have
been made to new and important markets
The shipments in 1884 by rail to the interior
and Western markets, also North, were
very large, and am informed by dealers
that this branch of the lumber trade wa
larger than in 1883. The total shipment o
pitch and pine last year to foreign anC
coast ports from Mobile was about 90, 200, Coz
feet, against 26, 700, 900 feet in 1888, showing
decrease of 100000 feet. The exports
of lumber to foreign ports in 1884 show al
increase of about $4,000 feet as compared
with 1888, which was caused by a very
large export of the article to Great Britain
as the total shipment in that direction wa
larger than one-third of the total export
foreign. The exports to France, Mexic,
and Cuba show heavy decrease, Will
there was a decided increase in lumbe
shipments to Germany, Holland, Spain
Trinidad and Hayti. Large shipment
have been made to Belgium, Italy ant
Montevideo, against none last year."
