Terrible Ordeal Through Which a Main
Lady Successfully Pasaed.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
BosToN, MASS Msy 6-Mrs. Bestt,
OF Augusta, Me-, has just been discharged
from the Massachusetts General Hospital
after most painful operation OF haviAs
her tongue removed, snd yet she csn tall
most plainly. She Is slxty-two years old
Two years ago, by accident, she touched
her tongue with I've and burned 8 small
spot on the upper side of it
Soon efterw.rd this spot grew
hard and turned white, remaining in
this condition until year ago, q few
months later forming an ulcer. Bscom-
ing alarmed Mrs. B. came to Boston for
advice. She entered the Massachusetts
General Hospital and was operated upon
by DR.. 81. A. Beach. He removed her
tongue entirely without the loss of any
blood. This was the most remarkable
thing about the operation, for person Of
sixty-two years Of age cannot afford to
lose the amount Of blood that might have
been lest had less thought and skill been
employed.
Dr. Beach's plan was entirely success
full in the method which he adopted. An
instrument known as the ecrazen, or hne
chain saw, Was placed around the tongue
as far back as possible and drawn tight.
By means OF thumb-screw the saw
gradually cut completely through the
tongue. A turn Of the thumb screw wa.
made every two minutes to allow the
blood that started to flow to clot, thus no
hemorrhsge occurred. This operation
WAS done In brutal manner during the
inquisition as a means of torture, but as
s surgical case it has been very rare. To-
day Mrs. B. talks as distinctly as anyone
and her general health is better
than 1t has been for 8 number of
yesrs She is much pleased with the
success of the operation, and is surprised
st being able to get along so we'll without
her tongue.
At first she did not know how to sTal-
low, aud kept handkerchief under her
chin constantly. The saliva would col
lect In her mouth and she did not know
what to do wi 1t. Now when Mrs. BIS
mouth fills with saliva she raises her
hesd and allows the saliva to fall into the
throat. She has discovered that she can
now talk entirely with her larynx. Sac
had crest trouble in pronouncing the let
tiers D, T, L, K, q, etc, but has managed
to do so with her lips, under directions
OF the surgeon. Altogether 1t is consid-
cred remarkable case.

Prohibition and Protection.

There is Prohibitionist abroad
in the land, the oldest on record,
who prohibits the Sabbath, puts
his vote upon civil law, and de-
clares against the protection of the
home. He is adroit, subtitle and
persevering, and the worst Of it is
that his prohibition prohibits. In
commercial circles he is called q
LIQUOR dealer, in legal circles he is
a giver Of brides, in party circles
he is a dram-shop politician. To
him we oppose the positive force Of
protection for the ignorant and
tempted as individuals, for the Sab
bath as q sacred institution, divine
and human, and for the home as
tho citadel Of civilization and
Christianity. And we earnestly
hope, at least ! do, in common with
q host OF White Ribboners, that
when in the reconciliation of par
ties, q new name shall be chosen
for the enc that we love best, that
choice may fall on Home Protec-
ton as the incarnation of our argu.
ment, the true definition of the is-
sue involved, and the winsome,
yet ringing battle cry Of all our
peaceful war.-[Frances E. Will

West Virginia Coke.

West Virginia coke is gaining
a standing in market which will
have q healthful influence in the
establishment OF new plants for
it's production. It is said that
prominent coke men have predio-
ted that within few years this
state will be a great field for this
industry An exchange remarks
that the coke men of Pennsylvania
are watching the development of
the coke fields in West Virginia
with anxious eyes ;and very well
they may, for our coke is not only
superior in quality,but the volume
of its production is growing to
such an extent as to control the
market and dictate sales and prices.

The Postal Service.

Postmaster General Dickinson's annual
report shows a remarkable expansion of
business and large increase in eXpendl-
ture in the postal service The gross reve
nue. for the year was S52, 695. l1G, while ex-
penditures amounted TO $50, $50, iO3. The
estimated deficiency is, therefore, S4 l9O,-
221. The revenue for the current fiscal
year is estimated at $62, sos, ,65s and the
expenditure for the year is estimated at
$50, ,Sl2 ,013, with probable deficiency this
year of about 50, 500 600 During the past
year II 2Ss postmasters were appointed,
1864 on establishment of new post offices.
The railway mail service shows an in
crease of $1,000 miles and decrease of
- 100 per cent in the rate of cost per mile
Travelled. The volume of business in the
money order division was upward Of SAB
900 000 and is self sustaining with a net
profit to the government of $4,000. The
volume of ordinary mail matter has large
" increased, and it is estimated the reve-
nue. during the past year would have BEEN
without reductions of postage, upward of
$40, ,OOO,O 900.
Carefully prepared statistics are submit
ted. contrasting the service with that of
Great Britain, Germany and France, dem
onstrating that in cheapness of postage,
gross revenue aud expenditures, number of
post-offices, extent of mail routes, mileage
of mail service and volume of mail matter
transmitted, the postal system of the Unit
ed States is the leading one of the world.
