A p%ork-raiser thinks he has dis
coverad a remedy for hog-cholera. He
simply drives his swine, when attacked,
on the highway for half a day, and de-
clares they recover. His theory is that
the exercise encourages a more lively
circulation of the blood, opens the skin
pores, expands the lungs, causes the
voiding Of worms and renovates the
animal generally. Our own cxpe-
rience is that the man who attempts to
drive hogs gets the bulk OF the e1er-
else himself.-Albony Journal.

Princesses Dolgor0uki.

London World
Princess Dolgorouki. the widow of the late
Gar. has left Aixles- Bans, with her family, for
Barrtz, where she intends to remain till the be-
ginning of November, when she returns to Paris
for the winter. A weekly theatrical paper has
commented on some concerts which have recent
ly been given at German watering places by a
Princess Dolgorouki, under the impression that
the performer is the Cars widow. OF
course this is an absurd mistake. The
princess who has been playing and singing
in Germany for nearly year past was orig
inally Spanish actress, and when engaged at
St Petersburg she married one of the numerous
princes of the Doigorouki family, but her hus-
band, who was never wealthy, has lately sus-
tanned serious reverses. and, with commendable
pluck, she has returned to her former profession
in order to earn a living, and she has deservedy
obtained considerable success. 1t is to the
last degree improbable that under any circum-
stances, the Princess Dolgorouki would be sing
ing and playing in public, seeing that she is one
of the richest women in Europe. thanks to the
prudence of her husband, who invested immense
sums of money for her and their chilren in
Germany, Holland and England.

Bessendorf represented that he was in destitute
circumstances, and would work hard if given II
chance. Dr. Koch gave him employment
and took him to his home to board. The
intimacy which soon after arose between his wife
and the boarder was discovered, and, while they
insisted that it was not criminal Bessendorf was

was absent short time since, and persuaded
Mrs. Koch to elope Though search was made

ONE CHANCE IN A THOUSAND.
A Very Rare Surgical Operation Successfully
Performed at Washing ton. ID. G.

Washington Special.
A very rare surgical operation was performed
successfully last Thursday by DR.. D. w. Bliss
in conjunction with Dr. Hammett, upon George
r. kFowler, son of Mr. E. G. Fowler acting
Firss Assistant Postmaster general. The young
man affected with troublesome cough dur
ing the summer, and two weeks ago he was con-
fined to his bed by serious and oppressive
illness, which was believed to be inflammation
congestion of the lungs consumption.
Gradually the chest became distended, and the
lung space filled up so that the patient was OH
the point of sufocation. Tuesday DIR. Hammett
applying his ear to the patients chest, thought
he detected something like breathing through
ater. DR.. Bliss was called into consultations
and it agreed that there was an accumu-
lation of water in the chest. A difficult and dan
gerous surgical operation necessary, without
which the patient could not live. The operation
was performed with kind of pump known as
Defors aspirator. A large needle was inserted
in one of the rib spaces under the left arm and
small tube attached to the aspirator was put in
to this opening and the pump was set to work
In short time ffty-two ounces, or about three
and half pints of water were drawn off, and
the patient experienced immediate relief and
could breathe freely The accumulated water
had crushed the heart from its usual seat on the
LETT over to the patients right SIDE and had
pushed the left lung up under his chin. Imme-
diately after the operation the surgeons were
able to pronounce the patient out of danger
Two days before he was thought to be beyond
recovery.
