A SKLLEul SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
MIR. Kasson, has lately forwarded TO his
Government an interesting account of
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted in the removal of u portion
of the human stomach, involving
nearly one.third of the organ-and,
strange TO say, the patient recovered
the only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The diseas Sc for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach attended with

LITTLE FEET.
Florence Percy.l

Florence Percy
Two little feet 50 small that both may nestle
In one careSsing hand,
Two tender feet upon the untrted border
OF lifes mysterious land.
Dimpled and soft and pink as peach tree
blossoms
In ApriIs fragrant days;
How can they walk amid the briery tangles
Edging the worlds rough ways,
These white rose feet along the doubtful fu-
ture
Must bear woman's load
Alas! since woman has the heaviest burden
And walks the hardest road.
Love for awhile will make the path before
them
All dainty, smooth and fair
win Gull away the bramble, letting only
The roses blossom there.
But when the mothers watchful eyes are
shrouded
Away from the sight Of men,
And these dear feet are left without her
guiding,
win they go stumbling blindly in the dark
ness
OF sorrows fearful shades,
Or find the upward slopes of peace and
beauty,
Whose sunlight never fadesl
How shall it be with her, the tender
stranger,
Fair face and gentle-eyed,
Before whose unstained feet the worlds rude
highway
Stretches SO strange and widea
All! who may read the future! For our
darling
We crave all blessings sweet,
And pray that He who feeds the crying
ravens
win guide the babys feet

Music and Insanity.

The theory of the close connection between
music AMI insanity was never more closely
established than in the recent case Of MIR.
Bertram Bolter of this city, who was an in
mate of private asylum here for ten years.
At the expiration of that term he suddenly
recovered his reason, and was able to give a
perfectly lucid account OF how he had lost it
In 1878 Mr. B. lived next door to O boy who
was learning the piano. The lad was an
ardent young musician, and one night
played, "Come, Birdie, Come" l39 times in
succession, in order to learn it properly.
Mr.. Bolter was found on the floor of his bed
room next day, devouring a Eureka hair
mattress, and raving maniac.
On recovering his reason he told the above
facts to his keeper, who, forgetting that
hearing the tune again might agitate his
patient, said thoughtlessly: "Why. that's
rather a pretty tune, l always thought
Goes something like this, don't itp and he
whistled the first four bars plaintively.
"How's thatf' he said is that like itn But
the query was in vain His jaw had fallen,
and Mr.. Bolter was dead.

Dead with mocking sneer
Froze on your ashen lips;

Who lay dead here with mocking sneer,
Alone on this Texan wild.
Ere the lead crushed through the bone,
And the mighty change had come,

You have played your very last card,
And drawn your latest breath;
An ace you know is a very poor thing
To play in the game Of death.
But there is time to dig
shallow grave, and to place
Your carcass there, and to cut on a board
Your name and the year Of grace.
And out of this wood l carve
A cross for your poor grave there;
For you, that for many a long long year,
Have never prayed prayer.

Skim Milk for Bright's Disease.

Mont Robinson, of Fairmount, Ills, has

ease, and feels so good over it that he wants
the whole world to know how it was done

Where No, to Start a Paper.

In his letter to the amateur journalists
Robert J. Burdette offers some sage sd
vice regarding the starting Of newspapers
Says he:
If be starts a newspaper In q town wher,
nobody wants paper;
Or where there are already five papers IL
a two-paper town;
Or, if a long primer man tries to start q
nonpareil paper;
Or if he try to run an eight-coiumn paper
on two column basis;
Or, if he skin his home advertisers and cu
rates for foreign ads;
Or, If he start out by giving So puff fol
a 10-cent comb;
Or, if he start a paper because he ha'
failed at everything else:
Then, indeed, hath he bittea off more thai
he can masticate, and his paper, beloved by
the gods, will die young and fresh.

Rich Southern Senators.


Before the civil war Senator Wade Hamp-

Inheriting immense and splendid plantations
that yielded a royal income, he lived in a
manner befitting his wealth. When he
entered the senate, however, the senator
was so poor that the salary was no small
object in accepting the seat. He had great
estates, it is true, but they yielded him moth
ing Prosperity has, however, begun to smile
on him The development Of his state and q
careful attention to bis property, have set
the able senator ON his feet again, and it il
predicted that before his second term expires
he will be one Of the very rich men Of the
senate.
Only two or three senators are more
wealthy than Senator Brown of Georgia.
Though nominally lawyer, he has been all
his life an active business man and poll
tician- He is one of the strangest and most
remarkable characters in the senate. With
the face and manner of a venerable pastor
emeritus, he has the energy, strong will,
clearness of vision, patience for details, that
characterize the great business men Of the
time. He has made and lost one fortune,
and has made another colossal one since the
war. He is a man who has no confidants,
few attached friends, but who is as greatly
respected in his state as he is feared Be
ginning with successful railway COUP
after the war, he has steadily increased his
business interests until he is by long odds the
richest man in the state. He is said to OWL
half of Atlanta, and though block after

his, yet his own home is modest, almost
