III. V. Red6eld. the spicy correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
recently met a Canadian somewhere
out west, who rather set him aback.
In reply to a question, what he thought
of the project of annexing Canada to
the United States, replied very quietly
and emphatically, that he didn't want
any of it in his. Redfeld then asked
if that was the general feeling?


Yes, you can't find one Canadian in
twenty who would consent to annexa-
ton. If ever we join the United
States it will be at the point of the
bayonet Right now we are freer than
you are, and have less taxes to pay.
You can get pint of good liquor in
Canada for what a drink costs here.
Every thing we buy is cheaper there.
Clothing, even, is thirty per cent.
cheaper Why? Because you are
taxed to death in your rotten republic,
and don't know it. Your congress
men and officials at Washington steal
more than it takes to run our whole
government in Canada. Do you sup
pose that outside people, knowing
these things as well as we do, want to
pin our destiny to such a government? i?
The theory of yours is good enough,
| know, but corruption and imbecility
have crowded it, until what you call
the best government the world ever
saw has become the worst.

MoLEs.-Ladies have horror Of those

moles. Even homely men dislike them,

A mole is a thickening of the epi-
dermis, or outer skin, probably induced
by an obstruction in the outward ends
of cluster of sudorifc ducts or sweat
tubes. To be clear of them readily,
run fine needle through one of them
from one side to the other. Let an as
sistant take hold of both ends of the
needle and pull so as to make neck of

painful nor difficult, and attended with
hardly tinge of blood. Next ligate

that they think Col. McEnery

An interesting surgical operation was
recently performed in one OF the Balti-


more hospitals, which is described as
follows in the Baltimore American: A
very interesting operation was performed
yesterday at the Washington University


Hospital. The patient was John Beran,
the Bohemian who had his right leg so
badly crushed on Tuesday by rrema-
ture explosion Both bones were
crushed, with extensive lacerations Of
the soft parts. The muscles were so
crushed and torn that it was believed
that amputation would be necessary, but
the patient would on no account consent
TO this, and declared that he would
sooner die than have the injured leg cut
Off His extreme unwillingness 10 sub
nit to amputation determined the doc.
tors 10 make another effort to save the
limb, and Professor Chancellor, assisted
by Professors Lindsay and Scott and
Drs. Reynolds and Green, resected the
bones of the leg by turning out and
saving off the shattered ends. Then
small holes were drilled in each Of the
bones, and in each hole was placed Sc
curely a small ivory peg, that would not
cause inflammation. The ends of the
bones we're then put together and
firmly bound to each other by silver
wire that was fastened around the pegs
The limb was placed in one of Smiths
anterior splits, so that there may be no
movement Of the parts until nature has
a chance to unite the bones that have
been brought together. This curious
surgical experiment has probably never
been tried before, and its result is a
matter of interest to the medical profess
