PoETIcAL.
Whittier.s Last Poem.

Z
Mr.. whittier's last poem was written on TIL
occasion of the cight.third birthday of Olive
Wendell Holmes. 1t is as follows;
Among the thousands who with hail and chez
VIII welcome this new year.
How few have passed, as thou andI,
So many milestones byl
We have grown old together; we have seen,
Our youth md age between,
Two generations leave us and today
We with the third hold way.
Loving apdloycd If thought must backward
run
To those who, one by one,
in the great silence and the dark beyond
Vanished with farewells fond.
Unseen, not lost; our grateful memories still
Their yHcant places fill
And. with the full-votced greeting of new
friends
rendered whisper blends.
Linked close In pathetic brotherhood
OF mingled Ill and good,
OF Joy aud grief, Ofgrandcur and OF shame,
For pity more than blame.
The gift is thine the weary world to make
More cheerful for thy sake.
Soothing the ears'its Aiiserere pains.
With the old Hellenic strains.
Tightening the sullen face of discomfort
With smiles for blessings sent,
Enough of selfish wailing has been had
Thank God for notes more glad. II
Life Is indeed no holiday; the rein
Arc want, and woe, and sin.
Death and its namelcss fears, and over all
Our plying tears must fall. soc
Thy hand, old friendl The service of our days
In differing moods and ways,
May prove to those who follow in our train
Not valueless nor rain.
Far off, and faint echoes of dream,
The songs of boyhood seem. SO Cil1k.
Yet on onr autumn bonghs, untiown with
spring,
The evening thrushcs sing. Ty.y-
The hour draws near. howe'er delayed and late
When at tho eternal gate
We leave our words and works VIC call our
own:
Aud lift void hands alone.
For love to FIJI, our nakedncss OF soul
Brings to that gate no toll;
Gittless We come to Him who all things gives
Aud lives because He lives

TO RESTORE REASON.
The Diseased Portion of a Mans Brain
to Be Removed.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19.-Dr. J. Will
lam White will tomorrow perform the
delicate and extremely dangerous oper-
alton of removing the diseased portion
of the brain of man who is suffering
from insanity. The man upon whom
the operation is to be performed is
named Sceuchman, and his residence is
In the center of the state Over a score
of years he was employed in rolling
mill, and, while working there one day,
net with slight accident. His head
was the injured part. there being a
wound in his skull which was about the
size of d penny. The wound being of a
very ragged nature, small fragments of
the bone were detached, working them
selves into the brain matter Though
very small these pieces are the cause of
the mans present condition.
After giving up in despair all hopes of
ever seeing their friend in sound mental
health again his relatives and friends
had recourse to the University of Penn
sylvania. After an examination DR..
White decided that to save the mans
life and reason the knife would have to
be used to remove the diseased spot in
the brain. The operation is one very
rare in surgical annals. The hole in
Sceuchman's head is grown over by y
mass of tissues, which is very hard, but
this will have to be cut away and the
skull trephined before the brain will be
laid bare to the knife.

Examiner Dengler and President Bow
man were in town yesterday and con-
ferred with Commissioner Bentley in
reference to the case against Della
Green. The board of directors met at
Muncy. Some of them favored the re-
tention of the old officers, but the ma
jority opposed it. A director said that
as result of the visit of Dengler and
Bowman to the city no evidence would
be produced against Green at the hear
ing this afternoon. In view of Green's
threatened disclosures this condition of
affairs, if true, is significant, and shows
that Mr.. Green knew what he was talk
ing about when he said he would not be
made scapegoat

ing are badly torn up and the machinery
greatly damaged. The entire field IS
covered with debris so thiclsly strewn
that one cannot step but on it. Among
this debris were found the mangled re-
mains that lie in the improvised lnorgue
wholly unidentified. It is impossible to
say just how many are killed, but those
named above were in the mill and thar
leaves no doubt as to their fate.
1t is estimated that at least 60,G00
pounds of powder went Off The mills,
which cost in the neighborhood of $780,
600, are damaged at least two-thirds OF
that amount.
This is the third explosion that has
occurred at the works since the compile
ton of the plant last spring. In August
last severe explosion occurred, result
ing in the death of three men.
Six weeks ago second explosion took
place, which resulted in the destruction
of one large building, without any loss
of life, although several men were badly
injured.
The works are situated in an open
plain in the Ohio valley, and were con-
structed according to the most modern
and approved methods.

854 days since Mrs. Adam Wuchter, a
native of this hamlet, has swallowed a
morsel of food or drop of liquid, or re-
ceived nourishment of any nature iii the
usual manner. Mrs. Wuchter's case is
one that has puzzled all the local physi
clans and has attracted the attention of
many eminent medical men in various
parts of the state and country. She lies
now blind, bedridden, paralyzed and
wasted to shadow, almost pulseless,
and yet she is hardly less feeble than
when her condition first attracted atten-
ton, fully year and half ago.
