a suReEoN.s Nerve
Extraordinary Cousage Not . Necessary
Quality of tho Profession.

Extraordinary Courage NOT necessary
Quality Of the Profession.
1t is the common belief that sur
geon must possess what is spoken of as
an extraordinary good nerve, and you
may perhaps doubt if you possess this.
At the same time you must bear in mind
that in the case of a surgeon the cool
ness or calmness which is SO admirable
and necessary in an operation does not
imply the possession of any remarkable
personal quality, but it is the simplest
result of a complete knowledge of what
he is doing. 1t is rather the natural
outcome of his accurate familiarity OF
anatomy, and his daily habit
A trooper would require a very fine
nerve to go to masthead, or a sailor
to ride an unmanageable horse across
the country, but sailors confidence
aloft is due more to a matter of habit
than to any particular amount OF cour-
age. In saying this, do not wish to
depreciate the calmness of the surgeon
in the face of difficulties, but may tell
you quite plainly that if you haven't
enough courage to be surgeon, 1
should be very much ashamed of you,
and you would turn out to be very
poor creature, whatever occupation you
might follow. Still this fact remains,
and you may, perhaps, tie interested to
hear that /, who have known many
good surgeons, have never seen one
who has not possessed a very fine cour-
age.
In short. very good surgeon is, in
my humble opinion, a very tine fellow,
and when 1 see las do see) the extra
ordinary achievements of modern sur
gerry, am very proud of belonging to
a profession which has made life SO
much more endurable and prolonged to
the human race. So, possibly, the
great fascination which surgery no
doubt possesses to many, appeals more
strongly to men of courage and deter
mination than to those persons of more
weakly constituted minds, or to those
who are less vertebrate altogether

ETIQUETTE OF INTRODUCTION.

A Mooted Question in Society Which Is
Hard to Settle Satisfactorily.
One of the mooted questions of the
day is "When is it proper to introduce
people to each other?" The strictest
etiquette forbids casual social intro
auctions or the introducing of any two
people at any time without the consent
of both parties. 1t is argued that peo-
pie who meet in a drawing-room as
fellow-guests are introduced by that
mere fact sufficiently for the social
purposes of the hour, and they may en-
gage in conversation if they choose
without the least hesitancy, both un-
derstanding that this interchange in
wolves no acquaintance beyond the
present occasion. By this arrangement
an awkward silence is averted, and it
certainly seems as if the chief argu-
ment in favor Of introducing people"
is met, since, with 1.-The roof as their
transient introduction, they arc per-
fectly at ease without personal intro
auctions. When people are used to
this idea it is altogether the most SEN
sible and agreeable solution of the
question, but many social assemblies
demonstrate that a large number of
people are yet waiting to be intro
duced, and not without some feeling
of resentment when this ceremony is
neglected Let it be understood that
any one is at liberty to speak to fell
low-guest without an introduction;
also, that such a "talk" does not war
rant any subsequent claim of acquaint-
ance. If in the course of this impromp-
tn chat mutual interest is awakened
either one may later seek an introduce
ton in due form through some common
friend. Unfortunately, however, most
people will not have it that way, and
at every large dinner party men may
be seen standing around stiff and awk-
ward glaring at men whose names they
know perfectly we'll, but waiting for
the formality of an introduction. Chi

Depredations by Horse Thieves.

A gang of horse thieves has been operating very extensively in Little Rock of late, and no less than twenty five horses have been reported stolen. Who the thieves are is a mystery. De- spite the efforts of the officers, both city and county, no clew of any kind has been found. In the dead of night the thieves visit the stables of citizens and lead off the horses. It can not be learned what disposition they make of the animals. None of the horse traders have bought the horses, and it is gen. orally supposed they are taken to other cities and there sold. Five horses were stolen in one night. John Rose lost two valua ble horses Chancery Clerk J. J. Hicks reported his family horse gone. One h<ee was stolen from J. II. Frazer, and e.. from Scott Dees.
