CHICAGO, July 21.-Major Towne has been
confined to his bed for nearly year from q
growing abscess in his right lung. Two
months ago the lung was opened and the
abscess cut and drained. Major Towne be-
gan to recover rapidly. but recently his con-
dition became worse. q continual discharge
from the lung battling the skill Of the sur.
geons. Last Sunday DR.. Andrews determined
on another operation. After the surgeons
had made an incisfon they found almost the
en- tire lung diseased, and accordingly went
further than they at first intended, and re-
moved the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
ribs. y
This opening was large enough to admit
the surgeons hands. In this cavity was
found great quantity Of stony substance,
some of the pieces being as large as marbles
and as hare as stone, while that which was
in tho bottom Of the cavity was as fine as
sand. The walls of the cavity were also
covered with the stony substance. Every
particle Of the stone was removed and the
wound covered and dressed. Twenty-fo -four
hours afterward Major Towne had i'm
proved wonderfully, and he now feels very
much better and there is every prospect Of
his recovery. Nothing similar has been re-
ported in medicine.

G00DBY TO THE NEWsB0Yk

A Chicago Company Win Furnish Papers
by An Automatic Machine.
CHICAGO, July 2L-In a very short time the
newsboy may be out of JOB. Papers have
been filed with the Secretary of State for the
incorporation of company that will under
take to distribute newspapers automatically
and do away with the necessity for human
news purveyors on street cars, suburban
trains or any locality.
The Automatic Newspaper Distributing
Company, Of Chicago, with q capital stock of
$780, 900. Is the outgrowth Of q movement on
foot for several months past to perfect the
device and to secure patents. This has been
accomplished, and, according to the pro-
moters of the company. the financial back
next step is to arrange for the manufacture
Of the machines, and negotiations to that
end are on foot.

to the comparative ethnologist Here
follow the definitions complained OF:
"a dwelling, for census purposes, means
any building or place of abode In whlcn
any person was living at the time the
census was taken, whether room above
a workhouse or factory, loft above
stable, a wigwam on the outskirts OF
settlement, boarding or lodging house,
large tenement house, or dwelling
house as ordinarily considered.
"The word family, for the purposes OF
the census, includes not only the normal
family, as generally understood, but also
all persons living alone, and all large
aggregations of people having only the
tie of a common roof and table, as the
inmates of hotels, hospitals, prisons,
asylums, etc."
Under such widesweeping and indefi-
mite definitions it is of little use to learn
that Pennsylvania with 999, 1854 has over
hundred thousand more dwellings than
NewYork which comes next on the list Or
that this State has an average OF 5.26
persons to a dwelling in compari-
son to 5s7 as the average for the
North Atlantic division, and 5.45 for
the whole United States Then, too,
it is impossible under these conditions to
draw scientific comparisons between Pitts
burg's possession of 37,725 dwellings with
6.33 persons to each and, say Philadel-
phia's 1s7.O52 dwellings with only $50
persons inhabiting each Of them. But, SO
far as any conclusions are to be drawn, it
appears that there is an improvement
going on in this city as the average of per-
sons to dwelling has decreased from 6. A
in 1880.

NORWAY AND SWEDEN AT OUTS.

King Oscar of Norway and Sweden is
treading upon perilous ground. He is
disregarding the expires sion of popular
opinion as registered at the polls in Nor
way, and the result of his action is that
there are outspoken expressions hostile to
the continuance of his kingship and fav-
oring the establishment of a republic.
Since the union of Sweden and Norway
In 1874 one diplomatic and consular rep
resentative abroad has been made to
suffice for both. In the meantime, Nor
ways foreign commerce has grown more
rapidly than Sweden, and the inhabitants
of the former contribute more toward the
maintenance of the service than do those
of the latter. Basing their claims on
these facts, the Norwegians make the de-
mand that they shall be allowed a sepa
rate consular representation of their own.
Premier Stang of Norway opposed this
desire of the people, and his Cabinet was
consequently succeeded by one in favor
thereof under Mr.. Steen. This last Pre-
mier, backed up by the Norwegian Storth-
ing at Christiana, made the above demand
of the body representing both countries at
Stockholm, and receiving a refusal there
from resigned
Under these circumstances King Oscar,
who-despite his descent from the
Marshal Barnadotte-is an out and out
Swede imbued with the feelings and pref
udices of that country, has requested
Stang to form Cabinet Notwithstanding
his former defeat on this issue.
What the result will be it is impossible
to foretell, but it appears certain that
there is trouble ahead Bjoernson, the
radical leader, talks openly of secession
and republicanism, and the relations of
the two countries are so strained that
anything may happen. Either the ma
jority will cease to rule in Norway, or
some kind of amendment must be made
In the Constitution of the United King
dom of Sweden and Norway.

THE very clever lyrical sketches of
prominent Pittsburgers which, with Illus
trations, have enlivened the "All Sorts"
column of our cotemporary, the Ledder<for
more than year past, are now published in
book form by their author, Mr.. Arthur G..
Burgoyne. 1t is not too much to say that
these sketches are the brightest work Of the
kind that has lately come under our notice
from any quarter. While Mr.. Burgoyne's
humor takes the widest range, he has been
singulariy fortunate in refraining from per-
sonal offense. 1t is seldom that newspaper
verses exhibit either the facility or
felicity shown by Mr. Burgoyne, whose
resources in that line Of delineation
seem to be at once ready and
fllimftable. The portraits by Mark Fender
son are also quite clever and wholly in the
spirit of the text. The book should have q
handsome local circulation, as the talent Of
the author is of an order that compels recog-
milton.

The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad is fitting up double track
seventy-four miles in length between New
York City and New Haven for the use of
electricity as motive power. The whole
experiment as a great innovation will be
watched with attentive interest, but its
most striking feature is found in the fencing
in OF the track and the absolute abolition of
grade crossings. This part of the programme
could be emulated with a great deal of ad-
vantage all over the country, without wait
ing for steam to be ousted by electricity for
traction purposes on q large scale.
