Surgery f>r Piano Players. “Surgery for piano-forte players,’’ as recommended by one of the leading piano-forte teachers of this city, and now being rushed at in San Francisco to a degree that will at least make this an interesting spot for the rest of the mu sical world to watch, in seeing how such a large average of the venturesome come out. The clever physician, with his knife made expressly for the purpose, and his cocaine, admits he knows little about piano-forte playing, but is told that the results of the operation are sat isfactory. There then follows something about liability to “loss of grip,” etc. During the halcyon era of piano art, when Liszt was electrifying Europe, and Mendelssohn and Chopin vying with each other in the production of composi tions embodying the utmost artistic per fection; and when gigantic Beethoven was astonishing Vienna with a succession of his sonatas—why was there no kniv ing then? Surgeons were skilful fifty years ago, and knew as much of the mechanism of the hand as to-day. There were enthusiasts in those days who would have gone to the bottom of this method .and as readily yielded them elves up to a trial of it, and yet we do not read of any ham-strung artists corning to the front. Yes, there was one who tried a royal road to perlcction. Poor Robert Schumann essayed some expediting method on his third finger, and ran him self hopelessly and disastrously out of the field of executants. He has stood as a warning monument from those days as to mechanical contrivances and ail sorts of extraneous dodges, and it would be well for every intending victim to the knife method to first read through his “Advice to Young Musicians.”— San Nrancisco Chronicle. 180 Whales Ku a Ashore. As the packet Ospray of Westray, in the Orkney Islands, was returning to that place from the Kirkwall Lammas market, and passing through the West ray Firth, the crew descried a large shoal ol whales disporting thcmse’ves in the eddy of the firth. The boat shortened sail, and some of the passen gers took the small boat, and both boats tried to keep them in toward the land. Large numbers of boats came off from the shore. At .a whale hunt the first boat come to is taken hold of,despite the ownership, launched and manned, and every useful weapon is instantly se cured, such as scythes, knives, spears, &c. The shoal is cautiously approached and surrounded, when the crews, by loud noises drive the whales ashore. A boat containing some English tourists, who had been out seal shooting, came on the scene, and with their guns wounded some of the monsters, who ran straight ashore, the whole shoal following. At this junction the noise of the dying whales gives a -trangc impression to the scene. Ropes were produced, and the monsters, all nearly or over twenty feet, were dragged abovfi high water mark. The number found to be landed was 130.— London Standard. Canines of High Degree. Dogs of many sorts one sees in New port, and some very beautiful ones. Splendid great St. Bernards of tawny yellow; fat, low-bodied Daschhounds (or turnspit dogs); ugly bow-legged bull dogs, etc., meet the eye, and some pet dogs, but not so many as of old. One curious little dog looks like' an enlarged and very fat bat. He has pointed ears, and all the skin you can sec under his blanket through his thin black hair has a smooth, unpleasant look, which is said to come from his being oiled every morn ing like a prize-fighter. This dog is the child—or pup—of luxury, and belongs to a rich lady of Newport. At one of the florists’ stores on the avenue is a tiny Scotch terrier, no larger than a kitten; but like other small creatures, he is very pugnacious hence is fastened to a large chain, at the end of which one faintly perceives this dinunutive but fierce beast, whose bark is hardly louder than that of a mosquito. A man driving in an open wagon on Thames streef was seen a few j days since with throe Scotch terriers sit- [ ting on the seat him, and not a > soul else in the vehicle.— Newport Letter. 1 A Maryland Tradition now A MINISTER’S WIFE CAME BACK FROM THE TOMB. Whitemarsh Church is located in Tal bot county, near a cross road village, known by the singular and noteuphoni jus title of The Hole in the Wall. The village name is said to date from the indent days when Oxford was a port of entry. The smuggling sailors would bring their crooked liquors from the port at night, and deposit the bottles of cognac and Hollands in a hole in the wall of the trader’s shop, returning in the morning for their payment. White marsh Church dates back beyond 1680, and hero ministered Commissary Bray, one of the originators of the famous so ciety for the Propagation of the Gospel, through the agency of which the Church of England has spread its inilnence into every stronghold of heathenism: A building used by him as a female semi nary yet. stands about a mile away to ward Oxford. In some unexplained way it long since, with the land on which it (stands, become alienated from the church, and is now the county alms house. In 1711 the Rev. Mr. Mayna il ier was rector, rcsi ing at the parson age on a farm a short distance from the church, and a singular story is told of his family. The tradition is that his wife died after a brief illness and was buried with rather unusual haste. The worthy man, overcome by grief, retired early, but was roused from his slumbers shortly before midnight by a knocking at the front door. Imagine his feelings wien, on opening it, there stood his buried wife, faint, and terrified, but alive and in the flesh She had been hastily coffined without the removal of e valuable ring, and one of the attend ants, aware of the fact, had exhumed the body just after night fall for the pur pose of robbing it But the ring clung to tlie finger and an effort was made to sever the joint; blood flowed, the corpse groaned, moved and recovered con seriousness The would-be robber of the ! dead fled in terror from the scene, and | the lady, thus happily saved from the ; grave, made her way through the night to the desolate Home from which she bad been carried a few hours before. She lived to tell the story for many years afterward —Hnltimore American. A Lucky Boy. Johnny Fizz.letop, of Austin, has more good luck than any other boy in Texas in finding things; so the old man ap pointed himself a committee of one to investigate. “Where did you get that knife?” asked the irate parent. “I found it, pa.” ‘‘And where did you get that dime, and the half dollar you had yesterday?” “I found them, too, pa.” “Lean o ermy knee. Whack! whack! whack! Now, sir, what have you got to ay, you young scoundrel?" exclaimed the excited parent. “Please pa," sobbed the culprit, “please lock up that—strap—or— you’ll—think I—found it too boo -boo." Johnny hasn’t had any luck finding things since he sat down on that strap, and he is glad of it. It Was the Cat. Fir t Servant “I’mgoing to quit."
