RARE MEDICAL CASES.
Making Il New Nose for a WOman--A
Child's Peculiar Dc1Ormity.

Making New Nose for WOman--A
Child's Peculiar Dc1ormity.
Two remarkable medical cases were
reported from the City Hospital, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer. The first
was that of surgical operation by
DR.. Joseph RansohOtf, who performed
the difficult task of transplanting a
new nose on the features of d woman
who had lost that organ through
disease. SO tar the operation has
been successful, and unless something
of an untOward nature happens she
VIII have a fair-lOoking nose.
The second case was that an infant
which was born with Its liver abnOr-
mally enlarged and out of place,
being situated over the stomach
which held only a fluid ounce in
stead of having half q pint capacity
The liver itself weighed a pound in
stead of three or fonr ounces. The
child was brought from Dayton and
operated upon last Sunday for an
artificial exit. This was a success.
Then emaciation set in and the child
died. A postmOrtem was held,
which disclosed the fact that the
liver lay diagonally across the
stomach. 1t is the first case of the
kind on record.

"VOlapuk has vigorous rival in
the Chinook jargOn, which is the
medium of communication between
about fifty tribes, who would other
wise be utterly unable to understand
one another
This was said in the Richelieu a
few evenings ago by DR.. G. f. Bevin
of Portland, Oregon.
This language is not a hundred
years old" continued he, "but it is
now in current use over vast terri
tory in Oregon, British Columbia and
Alaska. 1t originated because of the
great number of distinct languages in
this region. II was impossible t. do
much business along the Pacific
coast until a trade language of
easy form had gradually formed
itself. | think that HOratiO
Hale, at one time a member of the
United States exploring expedition,
was about the first to devote any
attention to this subject. He drew up
a vocabulary of about $50 words. OF

TOPEKA, 81 English, "a French, and the
remainders of doubtful origin. In
1873 the vocabulary had increased to
800 words and a simple grammer had
developed. Now we often hear jargoD
in Oregon. There are dictionaries OF
jargon, and sermons are preached and
songs sung in the new Chinook. 1t
has rendered all immense service to
commerce in our part of the world,

DEMOCRATIC abuse of Speaker Reed
is a good endorsement of his republi-
canism, but it does not necessarily
posture him as the coming candidate
for the Presidential nomination in
1872. There is a little too much gush
and too much previousnessa about
suggestions. The Republicans have
not yet entertained the question of
Mr.. Harrison's successor.

| New York Sun.
There is market for almost every
thing in New York, and the latest
article advertised for sale is chape-
rOns. They are not exactly for sale,
Iather to rent or hire, and they can
be obtained for a few hours shopping
or for trip around the world.
Within sight of the Grand Central
Depot is a large sign reading Chap
erOn Bureau" and here the country
visitor can find we'll bred, intelli-
gent, and well looking woman to es-
cOrt her through the city and tell her
| where to go and where not to 60.
The idea is not new one, and
chaperons who are ladies of refine
ment, if not Of wealth, can be
found in almost all the large
continental cities, especially nj Lon
don, where the Bureau OF chaperOns
is enormously successful. The head
of the new enterprise is bright self
reliant young woman, who lmpresses
one as knowing more OF business and
business methods than many of her
sex are supposed to know. She says
the new department has been very
successful. The students from Vas
sar Callege are some of its best pat
rOns, and one contract alone calls on
them to supply guides and
chaperOns to party of 500 men and
woman who are coming from the
South some time in June to visit the
local branch of the society of which
they are members.
There are great many women of
middle age in this city" said she,
"who are not able to support them
selves hy any of the callings open to
women, but who know the city
thoroughly, and who take care of
themselves and any one in their
charge. There are also great,m many
single women who come to New York
and who are fearful of going around
alone, and who would waste a great
deal of time if they tried it independ-
emily, which could be saved if they
had some one to direct them.
1--WE bring these two classes to-
gether. We also supply men who
are linguists and who know the city's
show places, who can take care of
foreigners unacquainted with the
language" She also said that young
men of presentable appearance need
not apply for positions as escorts, as
1t was against just such young men
that the chaperOns were intended to
serve as an insurmOuntable barrier.

:. A. Fair and Exposition.

At the meeting of the fair directors
held yesterday, The following was I'M
animously adopted:
Whereas, The fact has been con-
firmed by the experience of the ass0-
citation in the holding of its second
annual fair, that the indemnify of
$500 required of the community
was inadequate to defray the expenses
thereof; and
Whereas, 1t has been demonstrated
by the experience of similar lnstltu-
tions throughout the country as well
as by ours that it is practically I'M
pOssible to organize and conduct TO
success a fair and exposition without
ample time and adequate public sup
port; and, that our association may
not invite criticism because of the
pOvertv of its exhibits, as was conse
duent last year upon the limited time
of sixty days in which to prepare, be
it thereby
Resolved, That the third annual
fair of the international FAIR assocla-
ton be held in October next, contlnu-
ing ten days, provided a fund OF So
600 be raised by public subscription,
PAYABLE the day the fair is opened
Should such fund not be raised with
in thirty days hereof the holding of
the fair shall be declared impractica
BILE, and further efforts postponed I'M
til another year; and, be it further
Resolved, That it is the sense OF the
directory in the adoption of the lore
going resolution to bear its just pro-
portion of the burdens of the enter
nrise. the benefit of which accrue to
the entire community without dis
tinction, and should in justice be by
it proportionately sustained, and thai
this course has been adopted because
in the bsence of any other policy with
the lights before it the board canno,
onably hope to make the fair and
exposition of 189O,in extent,magnituGe
and variety of exhibits, an approprl-
ate index of the products. resources
manufactures, growth and progress o
this city and section, aud rather thar
court a result other than this tn,
board concludes that it would be bet
ter for San Antonio and the southwes
to abandon this great project which
if properly encouraged, must best0V
upon this people and the country i'll

A SuRReS tiOn.

Spring and gardening and farming
is now upon US, and every body is in
need of farming implements and gar
den tools and accessories. The best
tools a farmer can work with will not
avail him, however, unless he has
the earth moistened and his cattle
sleek and fat, in order to help him
with his labors, and unless these cat
tie have plenty of water and proven
der, they can not work. The Collins
Manufacturing company. of San An
tonic and Fort Worth, will show the
farmer and stOckman Of southwestern
and northern Texas how this can be
done successfully with either their
Star or Eclipse windmiIls and the

tablishment in full operation, a thor
oughly equipped repair shop and a
