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 seq 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-
c,tlIIo at, cte0, AID ''r 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 1t 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, and 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-sad
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 fiinchfng.
Dr. CulbertsOn, of indianapolis, was present
at the operation, and when the reporter SUBJ
sequenty Intercepted him concerning it, he
said: 81 have performed the same operation
great many times and l think | do know a
good operation when | see it. Every manipu-
latiOn was perfect. There was no faltering.
m operation is a series of steps and can say
of DR.. Prentice that each step was fautless.
1t could not have been more perfect. 1 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 perfect operation"
Coming, as this does, from such a high and
well known authority as DR.. CulbertsOn, DR..
Prentice has no reason to regret the high witt
ness of his work. Salt Lake Herald.

A Grotesque New Yorker.


The New York Star prints a descrip-
ton of the most grotesque looking in
dividual who walks the streets of New
York. Somebody has dubbed him "the
Fulton street dude, and his figure must
be familiar to all downtown people. He
has been away-goodness knows where
for the past several months, and turn
ed up again only the other day. Hc
usually walks on Fulton street and Park
Row, but takes an occasional walk ON the
Brooklyn Bridge in the afternoon. No
one can pass him by unnoticed. If one
is not attracted by his ballet-dancer
step, one must be by his burlesque APP
pearance.
He wears very small, old-fashioned
silk hat, polished to the last degree of
nicely with stove backing. A piece of
blue ribbon is pinned to collar which
is eternally rising up to his ears in the
back The ribbon is adjusted as neck
tie in front. His hair is long, black
grey, and is waxed sitter than starch.
No one knows where he lives or what he
does, and words of sympathy for him
are frequently expressed. He hardly
needs sympathy, though, as his bearing
indicates nothing but extreme content
ment and self-importance, a happy form
of insanity, If be can live on it.

Laughing at Ben Franklin.

The American Ambassador, Benjamin
by King Louis XVI, of France, and his
I Queen Ill years ago last March %. On
the following day the Russian Count
Tschernscheff found on the top step Of
the entrance to the Royal palace in Yer
sailles a letter addressed to NJ. de Sar-
tines and signed by Nine. de Lamballe.
Tschernschefi took the letter home with
him and read it, and sent copy of it
to his sovereign, Katherine III, of Russia.
The last number of the Revue Nouvelle
contains the letter. Nine. de Lamballe
wrote thus:
"This morning / was at the Queen S
levee, which, on account Of the presence
of the American Ambassadors, was
frightfully long. / have such q head
ache that / would not write did / not
know how anxious you are to know how
we liked the gentlemen from America.
Well, so, so, Ia, Ia. You have the Coun-
tess julie and me to thank for even this
much. 1t cost us no little trouble to get
the Queen into the mood to hear them.
Unfortunately Nine. Berth had been
with her, and you know how unfavora-
BILE TO the interests of the modistes the
war with England is. Nine. Berth had
poked so much fun at the American Am
bassadors, that, when they entered, she
could hardly preserve her dignity and a
straight face, and do not wonder at it.
They were, in fact, wretchedly dressed.
There was nothing distinguished about
them. We described 10 the Queen in
vain the simplicity of the costumes
of these people and their pre-
judice against all forms. Say what
you will, answered the Queen, they do
look something like canaille.' We
laughed at this and she regained her
good humor which she had lost ON ac-
count of these barbarians. But / beg of
you spare our decorum and send us
your clown when they come again, so
that we may not break down entirely.
The Countess julie and promise you to
do our best to cure the Queen OF her
prejudic
After copying Nine. de Lamballe's
letter Tscherncheff returned it anony-
mously to NJ. de Sartines, who was so
provoked by its loss, and by the mysteri-
BUSINESS of its temperance that he of
fered the police reward of 10, 900 francs
for the discovery of the finder. His
curiosity was never satisfied. Tschern-
scheA's sovereign was so pleased with
his cleverness in handling the letter
that she sent him her picture and
81, 900 snuff box. In her next letter to
him she intimated that Marie Antoinette
seemed to be doing a good deal of
and that ''she laughed best
who laughed last"

The cowboys determined to remain in
the outlaws camp during the remainder
of the night, and start for home the next
morning. One Of them told Mr.. Roberts
what had taken place at his ranch the
previous night He listened until the
story was finished, then rose and went
to where Arthur was standing with his
back against the trunk of tree, gazing
into the fire.
arthur, said he, grasping the young
mans hand. 81 have learned all that
you have done forme You have proved
yourself brave fellow and friend
that one can rely upon. Now what shall
give you as a rewardl"
Arthur was about TO deprecate any
return for what was simply his duty
when he caught the whimsical express
sion of his employers face
"Oh, sir" he faltered, a sudden hope
springing into life. ''If / dared
you would not think me presumptu-
GUS"
go on, boy" said Roberts kindly.
''Sir, II love your daughterl"
''Yes, so have heard, " dryly.
'Forgive me for deceiving you, Mr..
Roberts. / did not intend to violate your
trust in me. What man could be near
that adorable girl-that angel-and not
love herr"
GAN very fine sir; very fine indeed.
But considering the fact that the angel
in question costs her father something
like So, 900 year, how did you hope to
keep her in feathers ON a salary of 5000"
'Im afraid / did not think of that,
sir, said Arthur with downcast face.
"Of course you didn't When did love
lorn fools ever think of anything sem
sibleg But there, boy, / won't tease.
/ like you-you are noble, brave fell
low-and you shall have my Lucia, and
enough money TO keep her in dresses
all the days OF her life. I'd rather have
you for a son-in-law than any man 1
know"
"Thank you, sir, responded Arthur,
tears of JOY and gratitude filing his fine
eyes. ''You have made me the happiest
fellow in the whole world !"
A few weeks later there was grand
wedding at the Roberts rancho, at
which all the people for miles around
were present; and the sun never sbone
on happier couple than Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Forbes Wayerley.

THE HARBoR or REST.

Lulled on the waves of sleep,
Safe from the sounding sea,
There came adrifting DER the deep
A beautiful sail to me.
And it charmed the solemn night
As it passed DER the oceans breast,
And it shed holy light
In the harbor of rest.
o Love that loved of yore,
Ny love Of the long ago;
Was it your soul on the further shore
That loosed her moorings so,
And waited across the sea,
From the islands of the Best,
Brought message of peace to me
In the harbor of rest ?
All, whether We dream or die,
Can our souls forget the bliss
OF our earliest lovelit sky
And our latest lingering kiss?
Then leave me the waking world,
But come to me, first and best,
When the spirits sails are furled
In the harbor of rest.

The Era of the Aztecs.

The period of fifty-two years formed
complete era for the Aztecs, and they
questioned whether at the end of that
period the great heavenly clock, having
performed its revolution, might not
stop forever. This era menaced con-
siderable number of the population
once in their lives, and some of them
perhaps twice. The night ON which the
fifty second year would expire was a
solemn moment to them, and was sig
nalized by extingnishing the sacred
fires in the temples and those ON private
hearth-stones, and by breaking all
vessels that had contained provisions;
and the evening was passed in darkness,
with trembling and fear. The day was
in November, when the Pleiades would
eliminate at midnight, and this moment
was the termination of the century.
As the hour appeared, the human victim
was sacrificed, and the sticks were rub
bed over his still quick body for striking
the fire for his funeral pile and the in
cuguration of the new era Men were
waiting with torches ready to be lighted
with which the new fire was to be dis
tributed to all the provinces The mo-
ment of midnight was hailed with
shouts Of Joy. The world had not come
to an end, and men could hope that it
would last at least through another era.
Those who could not attend the public
ceremonies watched kneeling on the
roofs of their houses. The secular fest
ival was suppressed by the Spaniards,
the last human victim having been sac
rificed on the pyramid of Tlaloc in 1907.
