A Wonderful Surgical Feat.

A startling advance in surgical
science has boon made by Dr. Maximil-
ian Klein, a German military surgeon.
The particulars arc given by the pro-
fessional journal, Memorabilien. A
man accident tally cut ell his loft great
too In the middle OF the first joint. The
severed piece remained hanging to tho
foot, but tho connecting skin was
scarcely thicker than threat. Dr.
Klein scwed on tho fragment, dressed
it with iodoform, and had the satisfac.
tiop, In twenty-five days, of finding the
wound healed and tho too perfectly
SQUAD and flexible. Encouraged by tho
uncxpe cted result in this case DR.. Klein
was induced TO apply tho same treat
mcnt again. Arccruit. in order to dis
able himself and so escape from military
service, deliberately cut of his fore.
fiucer with an axe at tho second joint.
Tho fingcr-ond was lost, and could not
be found until half an hour had elapsed.
1t was thcn cold and blue. Nevcrthe-
less DIR. Klein sewed it to the stump
and applied bandage OF iodolorm
gauze. As early as tho second day it
was evident that circulation had been
partially rc-cstab'ishcd throughout tho
finger; and in six weeks the man had
not only left tho hospital. but was doing
tho very rifle-drill which no had hoped
to shirk. Tho finger was, in fact, as
serviceable as it had ever been. These
stories road almost like extracts from
the exploits Of Baron Munchhauscn.
That they are chroniclei in Memora-
bilicn is. however, evidence OF their
truth. English surgeons will not be so
unwilling to credit them as they
would have been ia the days before the
discovery of the marvellous properties
of iodoform. IS. James Gazette.

DIRECT NEWS OF STANLEY.
In Good Health and Able to Reach Ills
Destination,


A dispatch from Zanzibar say; Courlers
from Tabora bring direct news from the
Stanley expedition, a portion of which was
met at the end OF November, 1887, by Arabs
trading between Lakes Victoria Nyanza an |
Nzige and Tabora. These Arabs met Stan,
ley's rear-guard at point west OF Albert
petition was preparing to cross swamps
caused by the radiation from the streams
that abound in that country. The Arabs did
not see Stanley. The detachment seen
consisted of 80 men. They stated
that Stanley was two days ahead
The expedition had suffered greatly on the
march through thick forest, whore it was
impossible to advance more than mile and
one.quarter daily. They had also suffered
in the marshes, where many had dis
appeared or died. Forty were drowned in
crossing great river flowing from east to
west. One white man had died, Stanley
was obliged to fight some tribes who refused
TO supply him with provisions The eypedi.
tion had often halted in the expectation OF
receiving re-enforcements from tho Congo.
The rear guard, at tho tina met, had
only been on the march FIVE
days after halt of three
weeks, due to the illness Of Stanley and a
great part of the escort, who had been at
tackled with fever. The Arabs estimate the
tOUat strength OF tne eXpeultlOn, alter all
losses, at $50 men. The health OF Stanley
was then good. The rear guard, which con-
sisted of natives OF Zanzibar, stated that
Stanley had decided that he would do longer
advance in n northe,sterly direction, but
would strike toward the north, hoping t.
avoid the swamps. After getting a cert in
distance north he intended to take an oblique
line to the eastward and go straight to
Wadelai, where it was thought he would
arrive so days later-about the middle Of
January, 1855 The Arabs were of the opin-
ion that the expedition was still strong
enough to reach Wadelai. 1t will be remem-
bered that on Aug. /, information wss re-
ceived from Zanzibar that two messengers
had arrived there who had left the interior
about the beginning of April, and who re-
ported that Stanley had not arrived at
Wadelai up to that time. The messengers
stated that In the month Of March Emin
Pasha did receive some vague and indecisive
news of the explorer which had filtered
through from tribe to tribe, but
that the reports were very conflict
ing. Some declared that Stanley, after los
ing number of men and large portion of
his supplies, was hemmed in by hostile tribes
between the Maboda country and the Albert
Nyanza, while other rumors were to the eff
feet that he had been attacked by the tribes
in the Mafongora-Mino district, and after
several conflicts had diverted his course in
an unknown direction.

BULLETS FLEW LIKE HAIL.
Armed Resistance to the State of
Maryland.

A pitched battle took place near Balti-
more between the Maryland police sloop
Mary Compton and feet of 400 dredging
vessels. The fight started on Wednesday
afternoon, when the police boat discovered
the dredgers collecting oysters at Swan
Point. This is forbidden. The Compton
opened fire, but the dredges stood their
ground and fred b ick finally compelling the
police vessel to give Wy. ringing cheer
followed the defeated captain who soon re-
turned, however, REINFORCED by the steamer
McLane. The dredgers could not stand the
combined attack and sullenly Withdrew, but
not for long Before morning they had all
returned with lots of ammunition and ready
to fight the whole ravy. The Compton had
also fixed herself and was in condition to de-
clare war. Down she again made for the
dredgers, and then ensued one of the liveli-
est fights ever witnessed on the Ckesa-
peake. Bullets flew like hail, and the rig
gng of some of The vessels was soon filled
with holes. The dredgers tried to capture
the sloop, and once came near boarding the
enemy, but they were finally beaten off
The cannon of the Compton played sad
havoc with the woodwork of the dredgers,
and, when last heard from, several of the
dredgers were wrecked.
