When Arthur Denver awoke from his
slumbers and came back INTO his ante-room,
be saw an empty sack lying on the floor.
"Where has it goneg' he exclaimed
His first sensation was a peculiar cold
wave, commencing along the lower part OF
the spinal co,umn and terminating promis-
cuously among the roots Of his hair. Then
a strange numbness about the knees; also
some trembling there. In short, no was

This trait he probably Inherited from his
maternal ancestors OF course he did not
expect to see any thing under the lounge,
but tie exertion relieved his mind and he

called on Prof Cronin, only to be told
that the professor had not seen any thing

three and the two hired assistants. 1t was
improbable that the aforementioned would

A DELICATE OPERATION.

A Herald reporter was yesterday intro
duced to Mr.. William Jarvis, of Santaquin,
Utah county. Mr.. Jarvis is one of those
whom, from being blind, DR.. Prentice has made
to sea- Some seventeen years ago, while he
was working in Tintic, one of his eyes be-
came affected; and inside of five years he
was blind in it. Gradually his other also be-
came ali, cteo a-d &c some years he has had
to be led from place to place being unable to
find his own way. week ago he visited
DR.. Prentice, and the Doctor determined to
perform an operation for cataract with iredec-
tOmy-One of the most delicate operations
known to surgery. A knife was inserted be
tween the white and the clear parts of the
eye, and then was forced up until it came out
at the top. The Doctor next cut out portion
of the IRIS and removed the cataract from be-
hind the eye, after which he dressed it and
eft the patient. Yesterday morning he came
into the room, and the first thing he has read
in seventeen years was the Herald, which the
Doctor handed to him. Cataract makes the
eye perfectly opaque, and by the operation of
the Doctor the opacity has been entirely re-
moved, aud the pupil of the eye is perfectly
clear, The way in which the eye has healed is
| remarkable, and the operation was certain
| ly perfect and decided success. The old gen
! tleman-fOr he is well advanced in years-said
! the operation did not hurt him much-nOt so
much as the pressing of the Doctors sleeve
button against his nose. No anesthetics what
ever were used, and the operation was done
without hinching.
DIR. CulbertsOn, of indianapolis, was present
at the operation, and when the reporter sub
sequenty Intercepted him concerning it, he
said: 81 have performed the same operation
great many times and think | do know a
good operation when | see it. Every manipu-
lation was perfect. There was no faltering
An operation is a series of steps and can say
of DR.. Prentice that each step was fautless
It could not have been more perfect. / re-
gard such an operation as test. A man who
can perform it can perform any operation.
have seen the old gentleman since, and the re-
suits are as good as could possibly be obtain
! ed by a perfect operation"
! Coming, as this does from such a high anC
well known authority as Dr. CulbertsOn, DR.

ness Of his work. Salt Lake Herald.

or after it was closed, this Juror asked q
question like this: Did Mr.. Wilcox tel
you at what hour to fire, at what time
to fire? And then he asked the ques.
ton: Would you have fired all day,
you people in there, if they had not
fired first at your" Then later, at the
close of the present witnesses evidence,
| he asked whether the captain under
whom this young man served as a rifle
man, whether he told the people that
they must rot go there, or that they
| must clear out from that place, not to
pass along there. Then the juror re-
marked that it was a public road, and
asked what right he had to stop peo-
pie from passing in the public road. He
also asked who were his enemies that
day, whether the people inside or the
people outside. Then he said finally:
81 think this haole used his gun in a
threatening manner towards the peo-
pie and that is the reason they caught
him ans threw him over the wall, threw
him into the yard"
My opinion is, and l give it deliber-
ately, and am perfectly willing to take
the responsibility OF it, too,-if there is
no precedent for it l will make a prece-
dent, judges have got to make prece-
dents sometimes. If a juror by his man
1er, by his gestures, and it made an
effect upon the other jurymen l suppose,
because it had effect upon the audience,
whenever he asks such questions and
makes use of such expressions as these,
say it is misconduct of the worst kind.
l think that the citations mentioned
by Mr.. Hatch show that the Court will
find ample precedents in other countries
for similar course, but that makes no
difference to me. / am aware that it
only requires nine to give verdict, but
l cannot look into the human mind and
know what influence this juror may have
over his fellows. The defendant himself
wishes to be acquitted on the law and
the evidence, and | suppose wants to |
have fair trial and be indicated. Now,
10 proceed further with this case with !
such an exhibition of feeling on the part |
Of one Juror l think would be mockery |
If justice, and l will discharge the jury |
now from further consideration of this |
,ase. You are excused, gentlemen.
AS the jury left the box the Attorney |
General said that before the Court was
adjourned he desired it of record that
he juror Bipikane be summoned by His
Honor for contempt.
The Chief Justice said that the occur.
ence was unfortunate but he had no
PERSONAL feeling against the juror.
The Attorney-G General said that he
.lso had no personal feelings against the
uror and if his Honor considered it ad-
isable he would not press the charge.
The jury were discharged at 10 p. m.
nd at 2:15 the Court was adjourned
ntil Thursday morning at 10 O'Clock, at
yhich time case No. 4: the King VS..
'oai and eighteen others on a charge of
lutiny (on the Kinau) will come up be-
,re Judge McCully.

WtlmtuEtontans Interested tn a big
West Virginia Lrnd Case.
A Gaze involving asa 900 acres OF land
and valued at $4,000, 600, in which
several Wilmingtonians are interested,
was decided in the United States circuit
court at Charleston, w. Va, on November
29tb. The case was that of Mary Irene
Hoyt Of New York, daughter of the late
Jesse Hoyt and litigAnt in the famous
Hoyt will case, against the commissioners
OF school lands IN Logan and Wyoming
counties, West Virginia, and involves
100000 acres of land known as the
Robert Morris survey.
The land 100 years ago belonged to
Robert Morris, one Of the signers of the
Declaration Of Independence. The
Hoyts obtained possession OF it about IL
years ago. The judge. upon the applicR-
tion OF the complainant, granted an
order of injunction against the de-
PENDANTS from proceeding against the
lands in question for tha benefit OF the
state school fund or in interfering with it
in any way, whatever. He held that
under the purchase in 1855, the state
parted with her title thereto aud could
not proceed in the matter again.
This decision leaves Mira. Hoyt, Jesse
II. Irwin Of Oceana, W. Va, O, f.
Thomas and others OF this city in full
possession OF what is probably the largest
tract of private land in the United States.
I The land comprises some valuable coal
I md timber lands which are now worth 50
an acre, while years ago when it was
bought it only brought 10 cents an acre.
The great increase in the value Of the
land is attributed to the development Of
the state and the building of railroads in
that part o, the state. This property lies
! in good part in the territory Of the
z famous Hatield-&cCoy teuds. Tne
McCoys formerly stole timber on this
land right end left until the owners en-
pioyed William Mccoy to protect theii
property. Armed to the teeth, he pre-
eedel the surveyors in their last survey
and bis warnings to the timber thieves
were generally respected. The case il
which the decision has Just been rem
dered has Eean III the courts for three
years past end the decisions rendered

Dom Pedro Regards the New IEe-

LISBON, Dec. 9.-The dethroned en-
peror of Brazil gGve to the New York
Worlds correspondent yesterday the fret
extended talk which ho heH given to any
newspaper since the revolution. Neither
the emperor nor any of his adherents
regard the revolution az final.
"My visit to tue United States," said
the emperor, ''maie deep impression
on my mind. What saw there convinced
mo beyond doubt Of the value, the
superiority of free government. Not
withstsnding recent events in Brazil
still adhere strongly TO this opinion, but
l fear the people OF Brazil have not yet
reached the stage OF development which
enables nations to derive full and free
profit from free institutions. Time alone
will tell, bnt ! firmly believe it will
prove the correctness OF my views.
II will not venture" he continued.
''now to pass Judgment on the efocs of
the revelation. Let the people of Brazil
and history Judge of it. You know was
never opposed to liberal measures l
always encouraged Them but | wsB,
above all, suxions that my people should
progress gradually till they reached the
point which would enable them TO adopt
absolutely free institutions with great
advantage to themselves.
"That time has not come yet. Now all

] much fear that there are exaggerated
political ambitions dominant in Brszi il,
which will surely bring misfortune on

American people had generations of ex-
perience which cannot be improvised
among an imperfectly educated nation
like Brazil, whose people possess more
Imagination than common sense In po-
| litical matters.
81 don't think the Brazilian people
have reached anything like the stage Of
civiliz sticn required TO flt them for sbso-
luteiy free government. 1t is absurd to
draw any analogy between them and the
