Surgical Progress Illustrated.

In one of the best known restaurants
in this city a few weeks ago there was
seated at table enjoving hearty lunch
a we'll known physician and a well known
lawyer. When the feast was about ended
the physician, rubbing the region of his
stomach covered by the lower part of his
vest, said: "Tm out of order down here.
believe pll go to DR.. - (naming a
we'll known young surgeon of this city,
who has reputation for skill and ra-
pidity in the use of the knife), and have
my stomach cut open to see what's the
matter" The lawyer was amazed, aud
unwilling to take the doctor at his word,
asked him what he really meant.
"Why," said the doctor, 81 mean what
l say. The right way to treat the
stomach is by opening it and finding out
what's the matter. That's what surgery
is coming to. 1t will be the regular
practice in = few years-indeed, it is
frequently done now. They used to
think it was certain death to expose the
bowels, but they've got over that. sm

even now they take out a mans bowels,

My circumstances are good" she added,
roloring a little. 'I receive an ex.
bLlent salary here and have money laid
uE Do you think 1 can allow my
fatasr's cousin to waut1 l have a com
fortsole home; it shall be yours, and my
cousins' also. My carriage is at the door
now. Let us go together to your home. F"
And Minette, in her enthusiasm, over
ruled poor Mr.. Treblston's feeble objeo-
tions.
"a comfortable home" she had called
it, but to the poverty stricken inhabi-
tants Of a tenement-hoase on Grand
street the little brown-stone dwelling
seemed palace, with its bright open
fires, its sweetness of hot-house flowers,
its moss-soft carpets, dark oiled boards
and walls tinted with the softest Of
colors.
Mr.. Trebleton sat feebly down in the
big velvet armchair; his pale, sickly
daughters stood beside him, embarrassed,
yet happy in their young cousins warm
Southern welcome.
"Do you mean," he faltered, "that
we are to live here-always7"
"What else could possibly mean2"
said Ninette, kneeling to arrange the
coffee and fruit on the table at his side.
care you not my cousins2 Where should
your homo be but with me2"
Mr.. Trebleton brushed something
from his eyelashes.
"Ninette, said he, family, "I do not
deserve this. II didn't treat you 80,
when you came a solitary orphan to my
house"
'Let all that be forgotten" said Nj
nette, gently. Remember, only, that
you are welcome, more than welcome to
my hearth and homel"
So Stephens Trebleton and his daugh-
ters stayed on, always, in the sunny lit
tie brown-stone house. And Ninette
was happy, for she had it in her power
to bestow happiness.
"Of what use is money, if not to help
Others with2" said sweet Ninette. "And
they are my cousins, tool"
But Mr.. Trebleton had not argued
thus on that snowy December night
when Ninette Beauvoir came, homeless
and solitary, to him.
''Lord be merciiul to me, a sinner" I"
he breathed. "But never knew, until
saw it in the uncompromising light of
the past, what a miserable, selfish brute
was. THE Ledger.

THE sNow-wEAVER's SONG.

Back and forth the shuttles go,
Fashioning the cloth of snow,
And the weaver you may hear
At the wind loom singing clears
"Siumber, little flowers, and dream
OF the silver throated stream,
Shining through the April day
As it were a music ray
Bearing melody along
From the mellow sun of song.
Elumber, little fragrant faces
Dreaming in your quiet places;
Soon the dreams shall pass-and then
You and spring shall wake again n
Thus the weaver at his loom
Sings away the winters gloom,
While no weaves the coverlet
For the dreamers who forget:
"Slumber. little flowers and dream
or the Apripsgolden beam
Which shall come and fll your eyes
With the sunlight of surprise:
Wsking, you shall hear once more
Song birds at the daybreak's door.
Slumber, little fragrant faces,
Dire" ming in your quiet places,
Soon the dreams shall pass-and then
You and spring shall wake againw

A man recently offered to carry the
mails between Boonsborough aud
Keedysville, Maryland, daily, except
Sunday, free of charge. The distance
between the two towns is about three
miles, and the bidder thought that he
bid low enough to secure the contract.
1t was not awarded to him, however, for
another man offered to do the work for
M annual compensation of one cent, aud
to him the contract was awarded. The
man who offered to deliver the mail free

not permitted to do so.

1t looks to the New York Sun as
though the cave-dwelling race, which
once lived In Arizona and the regions
thereabout, had been discovered as far
north as Alaska, or upon small island
of the Alaskan coast which was recently
visited by the United States cruiser
Bear. The Pears officers, while explor-
ing the upper surface of the rock known
as Kings Island, which rises above the
waters of the Bering Strait, found an alb.
original tribe of cave dwellers, who seem
to possess some Of the characteristics of
the curious people which in old times
existed far to the southwark. From the
account given of the dwellings we infer
that, in construction and in grouping,
they resemble those of the cliff dwellers
of Arizona, New Mexico aud Colorado.
Some of their implements are similar to
those that were made by the cave and
cliff people elsewhere; but their food is
not like that which was used by their
southern kin, who had no opportunity
of fattening upon whale blubber or wal
rus meat 1t is hardly worth while,
however, to speculate about these Alas
kan cave dweIlers until we have fuller
information concerning them. That the
island had some inhabitants was known
before it was visited by the Captain of
the Bear, whose report is likely to be of
interest to American archsologists,

She Remembers Her Newsboy Friend.

"There is a young man in Mobile,
Ala, said Colonel Robert McEachin, of
Winchester, Va, "who has cause to re-
member Amelie Rives, the writer, twice
year. When the now distinguished
lady was little girl and lived in that
city, she became fondly attached to
newsboy who cried out his papers every
morning in the neighborhood in which
she lived. They met one day and friend
ship sprang up between them that has
lasted to the present time. After the
boys stock Of papers were sold in the
morning he would call for the pretty
little blue-eyed miss and theywould take
long strolls down Froscute road, pluck
ing the orange blossoms and the magno-
lia blooms. They soon got to be fami-
liar figures on Government street, as they
would walk along that busy thorough
fare with the young girls head garlanded
with wreaths of beautiful flowers and the
little boys arms filed with vines aud
evergreens. Then Miss Rives moved far
away into Virginia, but she never forgot
her newsboy friend, for it was her custom
almost daily TO write him, telling how
sadly she missed the walks and strolls,
his joyous, sunny face and the music of
his boyish laughter. l doubt if Mrs.
Chanler, as she now is, ever wrote love-
lier or more poetic or passionate sem
tences than those she used to send in her
letters to her newsboy sweetheart. The
boy met with a misfortune some yaars
ago which crippled him for life. He is
poor, but his purse is twice year re-
plenished by postoffioe order from Mrs.

Reports lately made concerning the
oyster fisheries OF Louisiana lead to the
belief, says the Chicago Herald, that a
large share of this country's supply of
oysters will come from that quarter in
the future. 1t is reported that the beds
are of enormous proportions, possess
every natural advantage for the growth
of the shelltish, and in many cases are
hardly touched by the rake.

Cougar. Abound In WASHING ton.

Complaints are made in eastern parts
of the State of Washington that cougars
are entirely too plentiful for comfort to
the settlers. Several of the animals
have lately visited stock pens and farms
in Spokane County, and one was seen
calmly trotting along the main road just
outside Spangle. This latter beast was
not at all frightened at the approach OF
men, but ambled of into the woods at a
leisurely gait.

try with literature upon the army
bill in the shape # leaflets, tracts

teen parties have candidates in the
field and although there has been a
vast amount of platform speaking
the bu'k of the campaign has been
carried on under cover. The army

set his heart, and viii III was defeat

forty.eight majority, calls for an
appropriation In one lump Of sl6,
