To Graft ttumoh Limbs

surgery has made such rapid strides
IN the last year that | conf IDENTIFY ex-
pect the grating arms and legs on
human beings will be accomplished
within short tme,o said Dr.Victor
ID. Lespinasse, of the medical staff of
the Northwestern University.
Through a series of operation at the
medical college, DR., LespInasse has at
tanned worldwide fame as a specialist
i'll repairing diseased tissues. He is
the dlscoverer of the system of linking
arteries together by the Use of rings of
magnesium.
1.-The one thing that has stood in the
way of the successful grating of linn bs
continued the specialist, sis to obtain
subjects willing to make the sacrifice
to the use of science. No one is will
ing to give up perfectly good leg or
arm to another man who has lost his.
The grated limb must be alive, of
course, 10 make the operation success
full. There are score of different con-
dtious which must be met before the
operation can be attempted. / believe
that some physician soon will meet all
the conditions and make success oft.
"More than year ago We attempted
limb grating on animals The arteries
were knitted together and the blood
circulated freely. We did not have a
single death; the animals are alive
now. If the operation is successful
with animals, there is no reason why
human beings cannot be menLed in
/ the same way"

The last Battle of the War.

The last bloodshed in the civil war
occurred near Floyd Courthouse, Va.
May %, 1865. Gen. George Stoneman,
who had been conducting a cavalry
raid through south western Virginia in
the closing days of the war, learned #
Lees surrender on May Is. He started
on his march across the mountains OF
Floyd county to reach railroad to en-
bark for Washington. In the mean
time secret organization from dis
charged soldiers of Lees disbanded
Confederate army had been formed
among the mountaineers, and they re-
solved to attack Stoneman.
Two hundred men were mustered to
make stand against an army of 900
but the majority of the little band lost
heart when Stoneman was delayed,
aud when the Union forces appeared
late IN The afternoon OF May % only
three Nirginlans remained in the ranks
of the self.appointed avengers. They
bodily advanced to meet the army with
as LITTLE fear as did David to battle
with the might gaint of the Phillis-
tines. The march of the three men
was watched with interest by the in
habitauts Of the town who had turned
out to see the army pass. They had no
idea that boasts of men were more than
idle threets.
BorduniX, the leader, halted his two
followers, and greatly to the amuse-
ment of the Federal troops, put them
through a drill. Finally Bordunix
gave the order to fire, and two Union
soldiers fell seriously wounded. Before
the troops could recover their amaze
ment another volley was fired, wound
ing others. The three men hastily re-
treated. The army marched on and
Bordunix made an attack. At last the
troops were ordered to fire if another
assault were made. The avengers
found concealment in "A graveyard, and
when they fired their fifth voIley they
were answered by 500 muskets The
mad Ntrglnians were riddled with
bullets and were buried where they
fell.

God spake in Genesis, and said:
Let there he light, and darkness fed
In Exodus, at His command,
All Israel fled from Egypt's land;
Their laws, and what their tribes he.
fell,
Leviticus and Numbers tell;
Gods holy will again we see
Contained in Deuteronomy.
Then follow JJshua, Judges, Ruth,
Two books of Samuel from his youth,
And TWO of Kings, the record plain
OF many good and evil reign;
Two books Of Chronicles tell DER
Each monarch history heard before
Their noble deeds of valor done,
Their many battles fought and won.
Historic words our hearts inspire
From Ezra snd from Nehemiah;
And Esther shows the ways of God,
While JOB receives the clustering rod;
The Psalms life up the soul with praise
And Proverbs teach in homely phrase;
Ecclesiastes next comes on,
And then the Soug of Solomon.
Isaiah now, with vision clear,
Beholds a promised Saviour near,
While jeremiah lifts on high,
For Israel's race, his humble cry;
And Lamentations paints his grief
That Zion weeps nor finds relief;
Ezekiel, Daniel, each record
The wondrous dealings of the Lord.
Hosea, Joel, Amos, too,
And Obadiah, prophets true,
Der Israel's faithless nation yearn,
And warn from evil to return;
Then Jonah, Micah, Nahum show
Gods tender love and threatened woe
Habakkuk prays in words sublime,
That ring through all succeeding time;
Next Iephaniah, Haggai,
Then Zech ariah, Malachi,
And we have passed in close review
From ancient Scripture to the new.
And now a Saviour's birth behold,
In Matthew's Gospel sweetly told;
Marx, Luke and John, his works dis
close,
His suflerings, death, and how he rose
In Acts the Holy Ghost descends,
And Christ lis kingdom wide extends
In Romans, 10! the Apostle Paul
Commends the gifts of God to all;
Corinthians and Galatians show
The grace that every soul may know.
Epbesians and Philippians tell
The zeal his life portrayed so well;
Colosslans, Thessalonians, speak
OF hope and comfort to the weak;
In Timothy, Paul's charge we find,
In Titus, friendship warm and kind;
Philemon shows how love constraius,
While Hebrews all the types explains,
Vita James and Peter, John and Jude
And Revelation, we conclude
TIE books that in Gods word divine
Like stars of endless glory shine.

The people Of this section feel graft
fed at the opinion uf;Attorney General
Conley, TO the effect that the legisla-
tive appropriation OF ten thousand dol
lars per year for two years to the two
hospitals of this city, is in accord with
the constitution and ought TO be paid
by the state auditor. The Attorney
General however says that the expen-
diture should be made under the III.
rection Of the board of control, of the
state and that the hospitals should
contract with the state to care fer
persons who may become a charge
10 the state.
This is certainly fair and the hospi-
tails have nothing to lose since they
have been doing this work for years
without the help of the state.
There are few state institutions in
this section Of the state aud there Is
certainly every reason, in equity, that
the hospitals of this section which are
constantly doing great amount of
charity work should be paid for the
san e. We hope there will be no furlh-
er ue ay in the payment Of the funds
10 the hospitals.
