All the houses along the river-front were deco

SURGEON GREETs THE KNIFE.
And Utters an Axiom About the Truth
of n Much Worn encouragement.

A New York surgeon, connected with one
Of the postgraduate medical schools of that
city, was one day on the point Of lancing
felon for one of the students, young South
ern physician, says the Youths Companion.
The patient paled at sight Of the knife. ut
won't hurt" observed the surgeon, with
sympathetic smile. Il sometimes think"
he added, that it is we'll for a surgeon to
feel the point of the knife at least once in
his life.
81 saw my first hospital service in this
city with Doctor S. he went on, land no
better surgeon was then to be found in
America. He had a large dispensary Clinic
and rarely day passed that one or more
cases of feon did not appear.
1t won't hurt was always his comfort
ing assurance TO the patient.
THE old doctor was very irritable II
patient made any cutlery bother over the
lancing of felon. Put your finger down
there indicating the edge of the table, and
keep still he commanded; and truth to tell
patients, as a rule, made little fuss.
Time passed on, and in the mutations Of
life Doctor S. had felon on his left fore
finger, and it was a bad one. He poulticed
it and fused with it for about a week. and
walked the floor with pain al night. At last
it became uncomfortable, and he went to his
assistant surgeon and said nervously:
81 say, doctor, will you take look at
my finger?'
1.-The assistant surgeon looked and re-
marked gravely: THAT ought to have been
lanced before
'Possbly-but--' said DR.. S.; and then
with a long breath: Perhaps you'd better
lance it now
Certainly said the assistant surgeon.
Put your finger on the table
Or S. complied, and with a ace as
white as paper, watched the knife BE gen.
te he cautioned, that's an awful sore
finger
1t won't hurt remarked the assistant
surgeon, and the sharp steel descended.
There was a howl of agony from DR.. s.,
and with his finger in his other hand he
danced about the room, crying, oh! Oh.
OH
Why remarked the assistant surgeon,
have heard you tell patients hundreds of
times that it didn't hurt TO lance fclon
No doubt, no doubt you have" groaned
Dr. s. But that depends which end of
the knife man is at.

Discomfort
The Revolution in Nicaragua
Is Rapidly Approaching
a Climax.
BY Wire From Mobile, Ala, Feb. FL.

The fruit steamer Sunniva, of the Blue
fields Banana company, has arrived from
Bluefelds, Nicaragua, with the following
advices up to Feb. Is:
Gen. Mena has been for three days above
Rama with zoe insurgents.
'It is reported that the Liberals are COM
ing, under Ireon Estrada. FRONTS Diaz. a
Liberal leader, was wounded and captured
with 10 followers above Rama by an insur-
gent force under the rough rider scout,
Hansen.
"A battle is expected here in a few days.
Gen. Reyes boats have returned from Grey
town to defend this place. The man Of war
San Jacinto is also here.
Three hundred Americans from Cuba are
due here to join the inSurgent (Conserva-
tve) forces. Mitraileuse. Calling. Krupp
and Hotchkiss guns are also expected here
as additions to the insurgent arms.
'Greytown was surrounded by the rough
riders when the gunboats left A force OF
Liberals is due at that port.
"Col. c. W. Winchester, chief of police at
Puerto Barrios, has joined Reyes. Four
hundred men are awaiting Reyes arrival
In Granada to flock to his standard.
The Conservatives are volunteers, and
engage in their ordinary tasks during the
day, while ready at any time to respond to
the bugle call. If choice were given them
tHSy WOuu prefer clarence, the eAleu
chieftain, to President Zelaya.
THE foreigners here support the Conser-
NATIVES. Order is generally prevalent.
THE Norwegian and British craft that
were impressed by the insurgents to carry
troops have been released.
'The Liberal Espinzoa says the revolution
will last only a month.
Among the passengers on board the
steamer Sunniva was Adam Espineza, Of
Bluefields, nephew Of Gen. Reyes, the revo-
lutionary leader.
''Senor Espinoza states that his uncle,
Gen. Reyes, had proclaimed himself pro-
visional president of Nicaragua, had armed
the Indians Of the Mosquito coast, and, with
the aid of Americans in Bluefields, has prob
ably an army of 900 or 1000 men, The gov
eminent at Managua, Espnoza learned, has
sent 500 men to attack Reyes at Bluefelds.
THE troops under Reyes had gone up the
river to Rama. 80 miles from Bluef1elds, to
meet Zelaya's probable force, and 1t was
probable that a battle had already been
fought.
'Senor Espinoza says the cause Of the
discomfort against President Zelaya is wide
spread and we'll grounded. His uncle had
heretofore been an intimate friend and sup
porter Of Zelaya, but recently he has not
been able to approve nor support Zelayas
conduct as president. In addition to levying
tariff taxes on the eastern coast Zeyala
had caused to be summoned the ding ma
promise declaring them to be enemies OF
tho republic, had caused them to be in
formed that they had been mulcted in fines

that In most Instances were equivalent to
their entire available capital

that In most instances were equivalent to
their entire available capital
If the departmental fiscal agent failed to
collect the fine the unfortunates were COM
mftted to the penitentiary without trial or
form Of law, placed in chains and kept in
communicate, in many cases denied food
or water, until the fine was paid. which in
all cases purged the prisoners of their de-
clared treason.
"Espinoza says these acts have estranged
the good people of the republic from Zelaya,
and that Reyes confidently looks for sup
port from them and for the active aid Of
the Conservative church party of the re-
public.
"Espinoza says he learned before leaving
Bluefields that the Honduranean govern
ment has dispatched men and arms from
Tegucigalpa to Zelaya's aid. The Hondu-
ranean allies were said to be commanded by
Gen. Surra, a general under Boria.''
