A young laboring man was brought to a
asrtain hospital in this city with badly
lsosrated hand. He had fallen upon an old
cotton hook, and it had gone entirely through
the palm Of his hand, carrying with it rust
and dirt. The wound was kept open SO it
wound suppurats freely and be readily
clsAnssd. AS time passed on the hand be-
came very much swollen, turned black, and
tho surgeons watched carefully for signs Of
blood poisoning, fearing that the entire hand
would have to be smputsted to save the life
Of It's possessor. These signs not appearing,
1t then became question whether more OF
the hand could be saved than the thumb
and arst two fingers. AS the hand became
no worse, the surgeon delayed operating or
1t, and after a. time it began to mend, and
finally healed entirely, equally to the sur
prise and delight Of the surgeon.

Literary Note.
The Eclectic.

The June number of the Eclectic offers
many features OF interest which should en-
gage the attention of all thinking readers.
The opening p9per by Prince Kropotkin, the
nihilist and socialist, underSR5 title of "The
Breakdown of the Industrial SYSTEM" ex-
amines into the industrial evils of the day
and indulges in glowing anticipation of the
benefits of socialism to the poor man. There
is an exceedingly interesting paper on the
Central African Question" which explains
many points obscure to the ordinary reader.
The Anglo-American Copyright Question,
which has absorbed so much attention for
several years, is very ably discussed from
the English standpoint. Miss Christians S
''Recollections of Charles Dickens" will be
read with great interest, as they give many
fresh and entertaining facts concerning one
of the few writers about whom and OF whom
readers never tire. Mr.. John Addington
Symonds is represented by a brilliant and
suggestive essay on "Caricature, the Fan.
tastic, the Grotesque, in which he discusses
the laws which govern the legitimate use q
caricature. Mr.. Maccoll's very thoughtful
study of "Islam and Christianity" contro
verts some of the recent secular essays which
have appeared on this subject in the Englist
magazines. Prof. Richrrd Proctor talk
about the Everlasting Hills" and though
geology 10 not his speciality, he shows he il
master oft sufficiently to be most enter
tanning writer. Oscar Browning's articl
on "The Art OF George Eliot" is written il
both = critical and appreciative spirit. TIL
sketches of Matthew Arnold, from the Aht
naum, Spectator, and Academg. will be rea
with great interest There are several poems
among which may be mentioned, swir
burne's The Tynesde Widow" littl
gem of simple and homely pathos, shown
the poet in a new light; and Alfred Austin
