A Remarkable Surgical Operation.

A remarkable surgical operation was per-
formed at the Massachusetts General hos
pital bv DIR. Maurice n. Richardson OF Bos-
ton. About a year ago John Mccarthy
swallowed 6. set of false teeth. The pas
sage of food to the stomach was almost pre-
vented, the patient grew emaciated and
weak, and it became evident that unless re-
lief was had he must soon die. DIR. Rich
ardson made transverse cut in the
left side of the abdomen, through which the
mans stomach was drawn out and then
cut open, when, by the insertion OF his arm
to The elbow, DIR. Richardson was able to
reach and remove the teeth. The internal
opening was then closed with fine silk, and
the stomach replaced, the external cut be-
ing also closed with stitches. The whole
operation was completed in forty five min
utes. The patient is doing well and his
complete recovery is now considered little
less than certain.

Sad FfYaets of Religious Madness.

Mail and Express London cable: An ex-
ceedingly painful illustration OF the length
to which religious madness may go has just
been reported from hamlet near Briancon,
in the department OF the Hautes Alps,
France. Among the inhabitants OF the place
were two maiden sisters Marie and Gather
inc Olagner aged respectively forty seven
and forty-ive. They were noted for their
extreme piety and an mistaken belief
in miracles. A few days ago Catherine, the
younger, told her sister that God had APP
peared to her in a vision, and asked as a
proof OF her obedience TO his will the sacri-
flee OF Murie. The latter. imbued with an
absolute faith in the miracle, acquiesced in
the proposition. When all was ready
Catherine took keen edged razor and
deliberately cut the arteries in the arms
and ankle OF her sister, allowing her to
bleed slowly to death. She was arrested
and will be subjected to an official exami-
nation as to her sanity.

Come with me to Central Park. where
everything is bright and beautiful, and
where even sad invalids sitting on the
benches draw funny pictures in the
dirt with their canes or parasols, and
little children lame from their births
emulate the gambols of their sturdier
companions Come to the Central Park,
where the birds sing and the cows low,
and the monkeys chatter and the sheep
wiggle-waggle their little tails, while
the robbins jump red-breasted here and
there, and squirrels and chipmunks and
wildcats, startled from their nesting
places, leap across the path skirting the
carriage way, burying themselves in the
grass or mounting with lightning speed
the bark of some magnificent tree.
Come and see to what idiotic degree
fashion tempts its votarics. Standing
near the mall, my attention was at
tracted by pair of spanking bays
sturdily coming down the road, draw
ing a superb landau in which sat two
adies-oh. how black, how somber,
how dismal, from the onyx tip of their
black lace parasols. through hot, thick
veil and heavy draped mourning CO.'S
tune! The coachman and the footman
on the box; my eyes!-but they are a
sight, wide mourning bands upon their
hats, black gloves upon their hands and
the wide tops of their professional boots
absolutely covered with Grape, while on
the long,. tapering handle of the whip
stood forth an invitation to the gaping
crowd to see how bad the mourners felt,
huge black rosette, whose long, heavy
ends fluttered in the breeze as the
horses champed their bits and waved
their tails and dartod down the drive.
Of all the idiotic displays. of all tempta-
tions to ridicule, Of all provocative to
what our reportorial friends call 'deri-
sive laughter" that picture caps the
climax. -HoUard, IN NeW York World.

PERSIAN HORSES.

Wonderful Speed or Very Short

Mr. Wolf Won Schiebrand. whose bub-
BILE pricking letters from Persia were
not relished by the subjects of the shah,
is back again in the United States, and
one of his early visits after his arrival in
New York was at the office of The Turf,
Field and Farm, where he got his first
lessons in incisive journalism. The Per-
sia of reality is far different from the
Persia of romance and Imagination. It
is land without roads and without
civilization. The rough bride paths
speak unmistakably to the tourist of a
progressive people. The saddle
is in general use, and the best horses
are the Arabs, and after them come the
Turcomans. Some of the latter attain
to great size, and are used by the rich for
display. The average Turcoman is
fleet and hardy horse, capable of going
from 100 to $50 miles without rest. He
is educated to get along with a very
little water, and to subsist on balls OF
highly concentrated food, the two prin-
cipal ingredients of which are suet and
barley-flour When the master con-
templates raid he gradually reduces,
for period of thirty days, the food and
water allowance of the horse, and thus
inures it to paivation. Grass does not
grow in the vicinity of Teheran, and the
principal food of the horse is barley,
except for two months each year, when
tile daily ration is of herbs possessed OF
laxative properties
Outside of the gates of Teheran is the
race-course, the longer circuit of which
is about five miles. Only one meeting
is held each twelve-month, and at the
beginning of the Persian New Year,
the opening of spring Arabians, Tur-
comans. and a cross between the Cos
sack and Turcoman compete, and the
chief race is five circuits. or about
twenty-one miles. Mr.. Schierbrand
saw the distance run in q minutes AZ
seconds. Either the time taken was
not correct, or the winner was a won

dred thousand persons cheered the con-
testants, the walls of the city being
dense with people. The outer walls
overlook the course, and from them the
SPECTATOR gets grand view of the
horses. The shah witnesses the sport

and members of the different legations.

Smiths Saloon.

II hear that Smith has sold out his
saloon" said one of a couple of middle
aged men who sat slipping their beer
and eating bit of cheese in a Smith

slowly.

6en Christopher C. Augur retired, U. S.
A., was shot four times about 1 o'clock
Sunday morning, the 18th inst, by a
negro named William Pope. His wounds
will not prove fatal, although he may be
confined to his house for some time. To-
day he was resting quietly.
Pope and anot ther colored man were
standing in front OF the Generals residence
using profane and obscene language when
he opened the door and ordered them
to move away. The only response he
received was volley OF profane
abuse and coarse epithets. This
was more than he could stand, and, armed
with light cane, he rushed upon the two
men and struck Pope sharp blow overth
head. As he did SO the negro drew pistol
and fired, the balfstriking General Augur in
tlre right leg above theknee, and with a cry
he staggered back. Reforeh6could recover
himself, Pope fired again and the ball took
effect in the right leg. Two more shots fol-
lowed, one OF which struck the general in
the left leg and the other in the side. The
negro who fired the shots is a notorious
character who has already served term

Pay or Pass.

There is a general Interchange of
passes among railroad men, and the
president and vice president of tho
Pennsylvania railroad have passes all
over the country. President Roberts is
very strict man. One stormy day in
winter he got on the New York division
and took seat in the middle of the
ear. The conductor knew him, as we
all do, and when he passed him the pre-
sident simply nodded. 1t was catch,
and Roberts was only trying to see if
his man would break the rules and not
make him show his pass. The conduc-
tor fell into the trap. When he passed
through the train again. Roberts arose
from his seat, and tapping him on the
shoulder, said:
''See here, you have not seen my
pass.
''No, SIR" faltered the conductor,
''but-but l know who you are."
"That makes no difference" retorted
Roberts with frown: 1.-THE rules are
made to be obeyed and not to be brok-
en-. The rules laid down for your guild
ance say that any passenger who has

mo butts. Now you may go.'
II haven't seen your pass yet,
though" demurely remarked the ticket
puncher. wishing to demonstrate the
thoroughness of the lesson.
That's right" replied Roberts ap-
provingly, make no difference be-
tween the president of the road and the
poorest passenger.
He reached in his inside coat pocket
and then into his vest pockets. The
conductor grinned. Boberts' sallow
complexion grew paler and then red
der. He went through his pockets
again, but no passes. The conductors
smile grew more expansive.
s.Hump!'' exclaimed the president.
singular! just stop as you pass this
way again."
The conductor stopped, and the pres
ident dryly handed him a $5 bill and told
him to take out the fare. He had left
his book of passes at his office. .-NeO-
