His Stomach Removed.


NEWARK, N. j., March BID G. Bod
man, an expert accountant, who is between
55 and So years old, was the subject of rare
surgical operation ia his home here Saturday
afternoon. About two thirds of his stomach
was removed and the remaining portions were
sewn together. There is reason to believe he
will recover.
When the abdomen had been cut through
ii was found that the removal of the stomach
would be necessary, as it contained large
hard tumor. which caused the tissues of The
stomach to harden aud made them unable to
perform their natural functions. The center
of the stomach containing the tumor was re-
moved and the other portions were sutured
and are expected to form good adhesion by
first intention.
Mr.. Bodman's greatest Inconvenience here
after will be that he will have to live mainly
upon predigested food

THE LEGEND OF THE EASTER
EGGS.

Cathedral bells, with their hollow lungs,
Their vibrant lips and their brzen tongues,
Over the roofs of the city pour
Their Easter music with joyous roar,
Till the soaring notes to the sun are rolled
AS he swings aloft in his path Of gold.
dearest papa !" says nay boy to me
As he merrily climbs his fathers knee,
"why are those eggs that you see me hold
Colored SO finely with blue and gold?
And what is the beautiful bird that lays
Such beautiful eggs on Easter daysg'
Tenderly shine the April skies
Like laughter and tears in my child's blue eyes,
And every face in the street is gay;
Why cloud this youngster by saying nay?
SO cudgel my brain for the story he begs
And tell him the tale of the Easter eggs.
"You have heard, my children, of One who died,
Crowned with keen thorns and crucifed;
And how Joseph. the wealthy. whom God reward,
Cared for the corpse of the martyred Lord
And piousy tombed it within the rock
And closed the gates with mighty block.
Nov, close by the gate a fair tree grew,
With pendulous leaves and blossoms of blue,
And deep in the green trees shadowy breast
A beautiful singing bird sat OH her nest
Which was bordered with MOSES like mala bite.
And held four eggs OF ivory white
Now, when the bird from her dim recess
BeheId the Lord in his burial dress
And looked on the heavenly face pale
And the dear feet pierced with the cruel nail.
Her heart nigh broke with studded pang
And out of the depth of her she sang.
.'Ali night long till the morn was up
She sat and sang in her moss wreathed cup
song of sorrow, as wild and shril
AS the homeless wind when it roams the hill,
So full of tears so loud and long
That the grief of the world was turned to song.
'But soon there came, through the weeping night,
A glimmering angel clothed in white,
And he rolled the stone from the tomb away,
Where the Lord of the earth and heaven lay,
And Christ arose in the carern's gloom
And in living lustre came from the tomb.
'sNow the bird that sat in the heart of the tree
Beheld the celestial mystery,
And its heart was filed with a sweet delight
And it poured a song on the sobbing night;
Notes climbed notes. Till higher, higher.
They shoot to heaven like sparks of fire.
"When the glittering white ROBBED angel heard
The sorrowing song Of the grieving bird
And heard the following chant of mirtli
That hailed Christ risen from the earth,
He said. "Sweet bird, be forever blest.
Thyself, thy eggs and thy moss wreathed nest
''And ever, my child, since that essed night,
When death bowed down to the bord of Light,
The eggs of that sweet bird changed her hue
And burn with red and gold and blue.
Reminding mankind, in their simple way,
OF the holy marvel of Easter day.

EASTER.

Look up, dear heart, look heavenward. See
The Easter sun has risen for theel
Look up, dear heart, "unto the hills"
Whose thorny sleeps His glory fills
Along His path across the tide,
See how life's cares and clouds divide
And fee The doubling spirit night
Is banished now in that blest light.
The smiling earth puts by her gay
And blooms in green on Easter day.
The flowers, so timid all OF late,
Take heart of grace and dare their fate
The rivers sparkle to the sun.
The sky beams down a benson;
There is chime in all the air
As of joy bells that echo thereI
The strife is Der, the battle done;
The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia.
The powers of death have done their worst,
But Christ their legions hath dispersed;
Let shout of holy joy outburst
Aleluia.

Proud Of Smith.
From the Cumberland Times


The people of Maryland have reason TO be
proud that they have man for Governor who
is above suspicion and who is sagacious enough
to trap such men as Hon. (?) Mudd. Many
honest Republicans will blush with shame at
the exposition of frauds committed, and, if
given to profanity, will curse the notorious
rascal who has disgraced their party.
There are thousands of Republicans in
Maryland who are honest as steel, who want
an honest vote and honest census. They are
Republicans because they believe in Repub-
lican principles, but they cannot, and will not,
indorse Mudd principles. These will honor
Governor Smith for calling the extra session
to right the wrongs done by the rascals who
have trayed their trust.

A Busy Republican and a White
Illiterate.
From the Rockville Advocate.

TTOHi IH6 hOCkFllle AuNOcdJe.
Rather an amusing and at the same time
instructive incident occurred in Rockville on
the first day OF court An ardent Republican,
greatly incensed at the prospect of the Dem
ocratic party running itself by amending the
election law, met with an old-time Democrat.
who, while taxpayer and a worthy citizen,
was unfortunately born at IA time and with
surroundings that made it difficult to obtain the
most documentary education. Here was a
rich field to work, and the Republicans mis-
sionary proceeded at once to show the be.
nighted Democrat the full front of the Demo
cratic effort against the latter's rights rs a
man, a citizen and christian. The uncon
stitutlonality of the proposed amendments
was argued Just about as intelligently as Mr.
McComas would have, or has done; but the
main point that the time-beaten Democrat
would lose his vote was brought out in all lis
startling enormity. The old fellow listened
with avidity, and his eyes hung intently upon
the mouth of the Republican protector as the
pearls of wisdom fell from his lips. The ar
gument was finished, and to the satisfaction
of the Republican, who surely counted upon
the discomfort of the worthy old gentleman.
But the Democratic ''iliterate' moved away
without uttering word, nearly reached the
Court House door, when he turned and hailed
his friend. The latter approached eagerly,
and when within easy speaking distance he
heard these words from the moss-back: eff
come to the polls now and any Democrat
tells me that if | don't vote he can keep three
niggers from voting, why just naturally gel
into my fix and ride home, thinking L We done
a pretty good days work. That's about what
the new law will bring about in Montgomery
county and I've got no kick that can see."
1t is needless to say that the Republican was
disc Ynoinfad hut he had anofhar orrnxu Ia,
he remembered that the stubborn Democrat
had once failed in party fealty because of Mr..
German. The arrow was quickly sped-"I
am surprised that you should fail to see that
the whole thing is Germans work. 1t was
well aimed, but the old man escaped with the
remark; bob Ingersoll objected to Eve be-
cause it was said she was made from Adams
rib; people generally think Eve was about the
best put up piece of work on record. am
mighty glad to learn that German has done
something for his state =
