" an operation performed upon one
Jerry Larkin who had been the Victim Of
a cas- explosion. His body was 30 badly
burned that his life was despaired Of, but
with infinite care every burn was healed
and a thin film Of skin was induced 10
coat IL, except the upper part OF the right
arm, which was liberated. All other
treatment falling, the physicians resorted
to the experiment of supplying the flesh
which had sloughed off with flesh from a
Newfoundland dog. The experiment has
proved successful, and the arm la grad
ually regaining the strength which 1t
seemed at one time had forever left it
with the sloughing away Of the biceps
muscles. Before the operation was per-
formed Jerry could only raise his hand to
his face with the greatest difficulty, but
can now raise weights and continues to
improve.
The city OF Paris has lately become the
possessor of a remarkable collection Of
documents, which will have great inter
est In years to come for historical inves-
tigators. This was the series Of death
warrants, extending from April Z, 1908,
to Dec. s, 1882, belonging to Samson, the
notorious headsman Of the revolution.
The collection was bound up In nineteen
volumes, and Samson had prefixed to each
volume a summary of the contents. 1t
appears that during twenty. five years he
executed 7l43 capital sentences, being an
average Of PIT executions each year
rather a busy life. During the twenty
five years he only twice assembled the
scaffold without a fatal result-one in
1916, when Gen. Count Lavalette was to
have been executed for completely in the
return of Napoleon, but escaped the night
before through the heroism of his wife.
The second time was 1917, when Philippe
Jean Antonlne, a noted coiner, was re-
spited at the last moment by Louis XVIII.
The "eye-stonep Is a genuine curiosity
In its way. 1t is composed of calcareous
material, and when placed in the solu-
tions named is made TO move about by
carbonic acid gas, which is avoided by
the contact with the liquid acid. These
little stones and all genuine e~ye-stones
once were the front doors to the shells of
a little molluscuous animal that lives
along the Venezuelan and other South
American coasts. The shell Is a uni.
valve. This calcareous formation is on
the tip end of the little animal, and when
he draws himself into his shell to escape
danger or go to sleep, the end, Of course,
Is the last part of him that is drawn into
the cavity or mouth of the shell, where it
fits so closely and is so hard that it af-
fords perfect protection to the animal
from enemies without. The native in
habitants collect the eye-stones In large
quantities and regard them with great
awe. Sailors engaged on the fruit trad
ing vessels that visit these regions obtain
the stones and fetch them to New York
for sale to wholesale druggists. They
ara of great utility in recovering foreign
substances from the eye.

WSPAPRRS AND THE PRESK
DENT.

President Cleveland, more than once,
has spoken his opinion about the news.
papers in terms %warrauting the inference
that to the presidential mind the average
newspaper way is devious and unreliable.
In fact, the president has lntlmated, pref
ty plainly, that too many newspapers will
deviate from the truth without due PROV
ocation. A great deal of latitude is al.
lowed a president, and the press, as a
rule, has borne his criticisms with grace
and good humor, But now the Washing.
ton papers have what they consider a
grievance against Mr., Cleveland, and they
are paying him back in his W coin. 1t
all grew out OF the resignation of Mr..
Hedden, collector Of the port of New
York, and the ecent appointment Of Mr..
Magone to that place. The capital pa.
pers had good reason to believe that the
appointment was about to oe made, and
they sent their emissaries to Interview the
president. The emissaries assert that
the president told them, point-blank,
there wasn't a word Of truth in tue
rumori that he had no idea of making the
appointment.
They believed and so published. The
next morning the New York papers and
the Associated Press dispatches an

THE Mexicans are not dolts, and they
utilized the several days delay after the
conviction of Cutting very i~ngeniously.
When the trial was going on nothing was
heard about Cuttings offending being in
the nature of Il Continuous ~ofense"-
that is, commenced in Mexico, resumed
in the United States and concluded in
Mexico, when Cutting crossed e to
Paso del Norte with a copy of the ElPaso
paper in his pocket. This Continuous
offense" phase, however, was talked of
by lawyers al. Washington City, and there,
1t is surmised, was heard by Mr.. Romero,
the astute representative OF Mexico at
Washington. There is every prob
ability that Romero accepted it as
a happy pointer out Of the
dilemma; that he gave the cue by
wire to Diaz and cabinent, and this done
1t was easy enough, when the Mexican
judges report was given the public, to
make the continuous ~offense" feature
loom up very prominently. The Next
cans were sharp enough to see the adj
vantage aud use it. 1t is preposterous to
suppose that the half-Indian magisti ate,
zeuois, at Paso del Norte, was yersed in
the principles Of international law in
volved in the theory now formulated.
But let us wait and hear from Gen.
Sedgwlck. There is consolation in the
reflection that If Secretary Bayard is
right the United States can compel Mex.
leo, sooner or later, to do Justice.

IN TIE ELFTH DESTRLCT.

The open race in the Fifth congress
sional district was not one to meet the
hearty concurrence of Democrats before
Mr.. Mack announced his candidacy, and
THE GAZETTE cannot believe that his
announcement will tend to make the re-
suit Of the Denton convention palatable
to the Democratic voters of the Fifth
district. Texas is a Democratic state
from center to circumference, and should
have a solid Democratic delegation at
Washington. The turning of both candi-
dates loose before the people may have
been unavoidable at Denton, but now,
that there is a chance for the election of
an Independent, it would seem to be the
duty Of the Democrats of the Fifth dis
tr!ct to reassemble and put out a single
candidate, and thus insure the election
of a Democratic congressman. Demo
Gratis are undutiful to their party IL they
do not pursue that policy which leaves no
chance Of defeat. We cannot predict the
result OF the fall elections, and Democ-
racy may need a Democrat at Washing
ton from the Fifth district Of Texas.
