New Surgical Implements.

a new thing in the surgical world is n
curious brass button recently designed by
surgeon for the purpose of joining togeth-
er two ends of an intestine that has been
cut. The button consists of two parts, into
which an end of the intestine is fastened.
When the two parts are pressed together
between the thumb and forefinger, they
are caught by a spring and held in place.
Then the intestine grows together, an OPEN
ing remaining through the button all the
time. When it is completely env4oped by
the new tissue, nature repairs the ravages
of disease so thoroughly that the button
becomes detached by the decomposition of
the tissue holding it, and it passes off. An
other recent discovery in surgery is a new
needle with an automatic spring eye, which
disappears when passing through the It's
sues and reappears when the pressure is
removed. The eye is sprung into slot on
the concave side of the needle near its
point. 1t is the invention of prominent
surgeon who aimed to secure stronger
needle with an eye which could carry
thread without tearing the tissue-New

Five Kinds of Paper Money.

How many kinds of money are there"
repeated Assistant Treasurer Sam Bailey
when asked the question. Five, and if
you'll wait an instant I'll show you sam
pies of them all ="
Returning with five crisp slips, he scaled
OIL the first at random and held it out at
arms length. That's United States
treasury note or grcenback, the govern
ment's note of hand, legal tender at its
face value in payment of all debts-all
means all, doesn't it?-public and private
except when otherwise expressly stipulated
in the contract That is to say, the govern
ment sometimes makes q contract to pay
in gold, but if not then this note is legal
tender for all purposes.
Here is a $50 gold certificate. That rep
resents 90 gold dollars deposited in the
United States treasury. Gold cannot be le-
sgally paid out for any other form of paper
money. The silver certificate represents so
many dollars deposited in the treasury.
Gold cannot be claimed upon it. The coin
certificate is not, rs many think, payable in
gold or silver. 1t represents the silver
coined each month, under the bullion pur-
chase act Of 1891, and is payable only in sill
yer. If gold were demanded for it, | should
be obliged to refuse. The fifth kind of pa
per money is the national bank note. 1t

Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett,

The long association existing between
the two men was as intimate in n personal
as it was in business way. A few years
Mr.. Booths junior upon the stage of the
world, Mr.. Barrett was his excellent sup
port at the very outset of Mr.. Booths ca
reer as star performer, and for many sea-
sons and in many parts of the country
have they played together, under all condi-
lions and in every variety of tragedy and
comedy, going home together many hun
dreds of nights to a simple supper of bread
and milk in some provincial hotel, or to an
equally frugal repast of tea and toast in
the grillroom of the Players in New York.
Mr.. Barrett's affectionate care of his com.
paniOn was touching and unceasing, no.
only during their professional engage
ments, but during the bright holiday sea-
sons spent in Mr.. Barrett's summer house
at COhasset on the Massachusetts coast,
where they talked together for long hours
of old times and laid the plans for a long
future together upon the stage and off.
Their "reminiscences then related, could
they have been preserved by the fortunate
listeners, would have made book of the
atrical history and anecdote unrivaled in

Booths Fordness :,or Tobacco.

coed Zeal OF nonsense is written about
Edwin Booths destruction by tobacco"
said DR.. Hugh Blake Williams the other
day. Tobacco didn't Kill him, and doubt
II 1t ever killed any grown man. On some
men, of course, it has IL bad effect, but there
are few recorded cases of actual tobacco
poisoning. Many of the brightest and
strongest men we have are confirmed smok-
ers, and | know of at least a score who
smoke us much as Mr.. Booth did. He was
heavy smoker, but his pipes and his black
cigars had soothing effect on him. To
bacco was to him a sedative narcotic, and
1t seemed to still his otherwise turbulent
nature. What do | consider the cause of
Mr. Booths death? Well, you must re-
member that he was 60 years old, and that
at that age all of us, no matter how even
our life has been, must face the constant
threat of death.
Mr.. Booths life was not an even life. 1t
was turbulent and irregular, and it was
overcast by the melancholy that arose from
his brothers acts and from the other mis-
fortunes of his family. He was dreadfully
careless of his health When l first knew
aim, he would venture out of his hotel in
sufficiently clad, he would sit up late
smoking, he would eat irregularly - in
short, he conducted himself with as little
regard for his health as man could show.
All these things cut the ground from be-
meath his feet. In addition, never knew
man who suffered so harshly in q phys-
lcal sense from what might be called senti-
mental grief. 1t pervaded his life and made
his system, although he was naturally
strong, less able to Withstand disease He
was always the melancholy Dane.
Il have been behind the scenes when he
was playing Hamlet. When all the other
actors were chattering after the play, he
would arise with his chin sunk on his chest
and his arms crossed and stalk gloomily
into the flies. As deep sorrow as ever the
prince felt had seemed the soul of this actor.
l believe ne knew his death was coming
swiftly over five years ago. When he was
here with Mr.. Barrett, commented on the
fact that he looked better than ever Yes
he said, shaking his head, but this appear
ance of health is a mere false bow of prom

"Nepotism" has been quietly
dropped from the Democratic
vocabulary since the sons of Vice
President Stevenson, Secretary
Carlisle and Gov. Gray, the new
Minister to Mexico, have been pro-
vided with government positions by
their respective fathers. Hypocrisy
is a worse crime than nepotism, but
there are people who do not seem to
know 1t.
Senator Roach's trouble with the
Washington bank Of which he was
cashier before he went to Dakota,
which was mentioned in this cor
respondence when he was first
elected to the Senate, is making
things very unpI easant for him here,
and may result in his having to
leave the Senate. There is much
talk among Senators about not
assoclalng with him, and quite a
number Of them think it their duty
to expel him, but majority seems
to favor leaving the matter with
North Dakota, not believing that
the citizens of that State will allow
themselves to be represented in the
U. 5. Senate by man who only
escaped prosecution and punishment
for embezzlement because the
money embezzled was returned to
the bank from which it was taken.
In view of this feeling there has
been some rather plain talk about
Roach having been made chairman
of the select committee to investi'
gate trespasses upon Indian lands
by the Democratic caucus.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WAsHNGToE, d. G., March 20, 1876

! I
1 land by the Cleveland Demo-
cratic Senators, exhibited in the
reorganization Of the Senate com
mittees. There can be no doubt
that the Senators acted with the
deliberate intention of putting
themselves IN a position 70 get
even with Mr.. Cleveland if he
refuses 10 give them what they con
slider their share Of the patronage.
| While it is the makeup Of the
committee on Finance that is most
talked about, because it has charge
Of the tariff and all financial bills,
there is not a single important
committee that is not dominated by
Senators known to hold views di-
recty opposed to those Of Mr..
Cleveland on a number of subjects;
and among Democrats the threat
has been frequently made that Mr..
| Cleveland would be thwarted IN
every attempt he makes to secure
legislation unless he recognizes the
"inhuence" Of the Senators to q
much greater extent than he has yet
shown any disposition to do.
1t would be folly TO say that Mr.
Cleveland enjoyed being dosed with
his own medicine; he doesn't. But
being fighter of the most obstinate
sort it is not probable that he will
allow himself TO be so easily con
quered by the Senators. The i'm
preston is that he will give the
Senators responsible for this affront
to him a chance to see how they
/ ike being entirely without influence
lin the distribution of Federal
patronage II they refuse TO con.
firm his nominations he will simply
allow the Republican incumbents t.
remain in office, thus placing the
responsibility for the failure Of the
| Democrats to get the offices upon
the Senators. A Democratic Sena-
tor, friendly to Mr.. Cleveland, in a
conversation with personal friend,
made the prediction that before half
of his term has expired Mr. Cleve-
land will be openly depending upon
the Republican Senators for support.
One thing is certain, the Republi-
can Senators do not propose to
Iailow themselves to be used by
either side to whack the other over
the head, They will as rule act
as unit and will vote for what they
regard rs the best for the country,
regardless of whether it be on the
side of Mr. Cleveland or of his
opponents.
