Our anticipations formed on reeding the day
dispatches yesterday were realized to the fullest
extent. A reoonnoitering party of seventy men
•ent out to fool for tho Modon found to
its cost, and it teams fiom the reports tti»i 42
out of the 70 were put on the list of killed and
wounded. It waa no fight, bat a massacre.
Captain Jack, it teems, bad arranged to entrap
the party, and succeeded in drawing it between

feeble volley upon them from one. When the
United States foroe found itself enfiladed, from
both aides, it broke on the instant—became ut
terly demoralized, and such aa could run, naide
the beat time possible. And thus it came to
pass that the first effort to exterminate these
Modoes came pretty near putting tha boot on
the other leg—and ending in tha extermination
of tha whites.
It was a disastrous performance on a small
scale, and somewhat ludicrous to aea a con
temptible little squad of Indiana successfully
defying the military power of the United
States; end this aspect of tbe matter is not
mitigated by the dispatch from Washington,
announcing that General Sherman has tele
graphed to tbe President and Secretary Bel
knap for their advice what to do in the premises.
We presume they will not advise a surrender
or capitulation to the Modocv—or another
Quaker peace talk.

Tbe Pope's Health—'The Hareesslon
For several weeks (says the Wilmington Star)
the health of the Pope hae been very bad
Dnriog the early part of tbe past week he ral
lied, arose and attended to business, but after a
few day* relapsed, and hla condition is now re
ported to be critical.
Tbe low state of Fins' health has given rise
to muoh speculation as to his successor. The
Popes are elected by the College of Cardinals,
whose number full is seventy. There are now
only forty.flva oardinals, divided as to nation
ality as follows t Italian, 33; French 5; Gar-
man, 8; Spanish, 3; RngUah, 1. Of these five
belong to the order of bishops, thirty fonr to
the order of priests, and six of the order of
dcaoons. Two-thirds of the College are required
to elect. There are three modes of election:
By scrutiny, in which the ballots are prepared
after a special form and aro subject to Inspec
tion; by three inspectors; by Divine impulse,
or without previous consultation, answering to
our goneral acclamation; and third, by com
promise, In which the Cardinals leave the eleo-
tion In tbe hands of a certain number, who may
be subject to certain restrictions.
■The oldest of the Cardinals Is Billiot, aged
90; tha youngest, Bncaparto, who is only 45.
Right of the Cardinals are abova 70 years of
age. The six moat likely to furnish a suooessor
for the present Pope are Fareblanoo, tha favor
ite of the Romms; Sforz-i, Archbishop of Na
ples; Pecoi, Bishop of Perugia; De Augells,
Archbishop of Fermo; Mcrichini, Archbishop
of Bologna, and Da Luoa, Frefeot of the Con
gregation of tbe Index. We believe the two
names most prominently spoken of are Parebl-
anoo and Sforza, though the ehoice may fall
on some obscure person not yet suggested.
After the Pope is elected notice Is given, and
he pots the fisherman's ring on his finger and
gives himself a pontifical name. He is then
announoed by tbe eldest Cardinal-deacon to the
people. The new Pope then goes in procession
to 8t. Peter's, where adorations are perform
ed, a Te Deum is sung, and the people are bless
ed by the Pontiff. On the following Sunday
or festival day he is conseorsted and the sacred
tiara placed on his head.
It is a superstition that “tha years of Peter."
twenty-five, should never bo filled, but Pius IX
has passed his twenty-sixth year as Pope. There
have bson 252 Popes. Ten of these were born
in the last oentnry. Chosen at en advanced age,
their reigns are necessarily short. It has long
been tha rule to select the Pontiff from among
Italians.
No temporal significance now attaches to tbe
election of a Pope, ns the Church has no es
tates ainoe the consolidation of Italy. For two
centuries tbe Roman Pontiffd have bad little or
no voioe in political affairs. As tha last Conn-
oil settled the dogma of infallibility, we do not
see that any eoolesisstical signification will be
attaohed to the ohoice of a successor for Pio
Nono. Still the matter will be one of consider
able interest to the large Cntbolio oommnnion
throughout tbe world, and of moro or less in
terest to Christians generally.
A Southern Sanitarium Wanted.
Snob a spring aa we have been having, (ssys
the New York World of Sunday.) is a terribly
trying tipseto tha weakly In our Northern States.
Young arid old suffer alike, and many a mourner
have the bleak winds and chilly rains of March
and April this year made. It ia surely greatly
to be lamented that we have not yet a single
Southern sanitarium supplied with such oom-
forts and luxuries as era to tha delicate a neces
sity. Tantalizing accounts coma to hand of the
pleasures and conveniences of Nice, Cannes,
and Mentone. Everything to eolaca sonl and
body seems to be at hand in those paradises of
pulmonary patient?, and both to the sick and tbi
sound who resort to them, life appears to glide
smoothly on well oilad wheels. Change of cli
mate here, on the other hand, means merely
another town ora howling wilderness, with beds
unsusceptible to Impression from tho human
form, mesls which send a shudder through an
invalid's frame, and doors and windows wbioh
have apparently been expressly mido for the
admission of draughts. Surely in this land cf
joint-stock enterprise a charming litUe hotel-
town, snch aa Spa might be created, aay in
some bright yet sheltered nook of Georgia or
the Carolines, to which a palsoe car might run
through from the North twice a week to carry
those who eannot bear the rigorous Northern
ellmate. Snoh a spot would, wa believe, soon
rival in popularity Mentone and Torquay,
which now swarm every year with our oountry-
men and women; end many a valued life would
have a chance, now denied to it, of preeerva-
tlon. |
Allegrettl'a Iceberg.
The above, (says the Savannah Advertiser,)
is the name of a recently invented safe by an
Italian named Ailegretti, and is peculiarly vain-
able to hotels, restaurants, fish dealers, horti
culturists, fruit growers, and almost everybody
for preserving meets, flab, frolta, eto.
We hed the pleasure of examining one of
these safes on board the steamer Dictator yes
terday. Tha safe had been shipped from New
York on Wednesday lest with a quantity of fish,
beef, and pork, which appeared to be perfectly
safe and sound as if bnt just slaughtered.
The safe ia constructed in such a wiy as to
admit a large qnalntity of ici all around tho
aides and on the top, tha influence of which is
just sufficient to keep up a temperature of about
thirty-two degrees, so that meats, fruits, etc.,
plaoed in it will keep perfectly cold without
freezing, which, if they did, would cans* them
to Vpoil as soon as exposed to tha warm air.
Tnla valuable invention cost tha inventor ten
vesrs of hard work and study, and will, without
doubt, inaugurate a new era in the shipment of
all perishable article*. The fruit growers in
Florida are taking much interest in the matter,
as it will enable tbem to ship their prodnoe to
New York in as perfect a state as when plneked
from tha vine. It ia said fresh meat will be
preserved in this safe for ninety days. Some
of oar fruit merchants and restaurant keepers
contemplate pnichaung for the use of their
bnatara*.
Tbe Illness ol tbe Pope.
A London correspondent, writing upon the
illness of the Pope, rays: “In addition to the
bronchial effeotion under which the Pope has
suffered for some time and hia present attack
of rheumatio fever, he has suffered for many
years from a varicose ulcer in the leg, the tem
porary closing op of which is followed by epi-
leptoid leisures of a vary exhausting kind,
while its reopening, whether spontaneous or ar
tificial, procures exemption from these seizures.
This safety valve, however, it said to bave at
last failed him, the eerebral congestia caused
by tbe paroxysm of oooghing sufficing at itself
to lnduoe an epileptoid attack in spite of the
ulcer e remaining open,"

Editor Adttrliter :—Cities, like corporations
or individuate, have their little weakneerae,
their petty jealousies, their rivalries and their
presumptions. Charleston occasionally takes a
back Hiring at Savannah; Augusta now —d
again give* ns a aide wipe; while Fernandina,
Jaokaonvilla and Brunswick—like «v»w«cH^aia.i
sects that raliglousiy unite in Utter welfare
against Catholicism, and then in torn out each

dox manner—fret, fame and wony themselves
to death ia pigmy attempts to exterminate us.
But it has been reserved for Haoon to take the
wind out of our ralis—to show to Georgia what
provincial energy eon accomplish and provincial
enterprise prodnoe.
A paragraph has been industriously circulated
through the press of Georgia stating >*»»> Macon
has been supplying Savannah with ear loads of
corn and provisions. Now, to give the devil his
doe, Macon is, without doubt, a very rising and
eoergetio sort of a one-hone town. It is re.
markable for nothing in particular but the bean
tifnl disorder in which it te laid cut and tbe pre
tentions it makes to a mercantile dignity which
it is unable to maintain.
It has turned out some great men who have
never flourished longer than tbe ootton picking
season, and a great many lovely and beautiful
women whose oomelinera, gentility and ditlingue
appearance are in strange contrast to the awk -
wardoees and plainness of tbe men.
To aeooont for this unnatural dissimilarity
naturally displayed, between tbe sexes, I oan
only sttribcte it either to bad liqnor, the evil
effect! of vulgar sseoulstlnns, or, probably, ex-
oenaive energy In tbe pursuit of a living. Ita
merchants bear about tbe rams resemblance to
those cf Savannah that a country store does to
a country bouse, and Its oommeroe about the

lint b .(Image aside. One oan afford to laugh
at the agony of Brunswick, tha Jealousy of
Charleston, and the pretensions of Maoon with
out getting excited, and even In this instanoe,
perbape, it might be advisable to view it in the
same jovial light; bat sometimes a anandal has
been dispelled by prompt refutal, when, if it
bad been allowed foil ventilation, no amount of
contradiction or denial could bave reeehed it so
as to counteract or destroy those suspicions
which public possession engenders.
Competition Is tbe life of trade. Tha Influ
ence that it exerts is beneficial to all—that is,
where a healthy, hondVsble rivalry exists—not
a Chatham street one. Now Savannah ought to
be the pride of Georgia, and no mean, narrow,
jealous policy should step in to destroy those
healthy, amicable and honorable feeling., which
should exist between her and all her sitter oities.
The eocciK-.es of all ta blent with the success
of each, bnt more particularly the soccms of
Savannah, for her prosperity ia reflected over
all the others.
As Parts is Frsnos, so Savannah is Georgia,
and any attempt to injure her is inioidal polioy.
To leave out the poetry and oome down to
plain dollars and oents, wnst is all this tremen
dous fuss about ? A few ear loads of oom sent
from Maoon to Savannah?
M.condotn is In eestacy! Macon heralds
with a flourish of trumpets the faot, and Bain-
bridge and Jacksonville and Thomas villa oome
out with their trombones! Now, the prose por
tion of tha atory ia this; Maoon by no prooeaa
of legerdemain or provincial enterprise oould
lay down at our door car loads of either oom
or haoon oheaper than we oould buy them here
ourselves, and for this good and solid reason:
that tbe difference in freight is In onr lavor.
This being the oese, to pnt it logioally, the ob
ject in sending them to Savannah must havs
been for either one or two reasons. One, and
the most likely, to raise the wind. The other,
a slur npon the oommeroe of Maoon, simply
because there war no market there and they
were obliged to send to Savannah, where they
knew there was a market. Verb. tap.

The True story of tbe Phelps, Dodge
A Co. Case.
The United Slates Treasury Department has
publishsd in fall all the oorreapondenoe relative
to this case, which we find synopaized in the
Western Press dispatches of Tuesday. Wa
quote below suoh portion of it as establish the
allegations of. fraud made by tha government
officials and whioh tha firm In a long letter pub
lished not long slnoe, emphatically denied:
It appears that, on January 3, last, Speoial
Agent Jayna reported to Secretary Bontwell as
tha result of tha examination of the books of
said firm, that the firm had deliberately violated
every provision of tbe law of 1863, governing
tbe invoicing and entering of imported mer
chandise paying ad valorem duty. The value
of tbe invoice examined amounted to a million
and three-quarters of dollars, which, under the
law, is plsiuly forfeited to the United States, not
by any technical construction or far-fetched in
terpretation, but by deliberately and systemati
cally stating the oost of goods below the pur
chase price by a false invoioe, made false for no
conceivable reason but to lessen the doties.
The items proven in these several invoioes to be
undervalued wheu taken separately, amount to
about $75,000. The percentage on the whole
amount is therefore small; yet. Bays Jayne, the
importations of the house are very extenaive,
and if the same or nearly the same percentage
of fraud, extends through their importations,
other than those inoladed in the statement and
on which we have positive proof, the entire Ion
to tbe revenne moat bave been some $10,000 or
$15,000 per year, perhaps more.
United States District Attorney Bliss, under
date of January 2d, writes to the Solioitor of
the Treasury, Bsnafield, transmitting the offer
of the compromise made by Phelps, Dodge A
Co. Bliaa says tha investigation shows that tha
defendants committed two apparently dtetinot
species of fraud. One consisted lm invoicing
tin shipped from Liverpool at the prioaa paid
for it in Wales, of which undervaluation there
is no means of knowing tha amount; while
the other apeciea of fraud ooniiatod in trifling
undervaluation of a single item or elaat of
items in an invoioe in which moet of them
weie correct There is no actual evidenoe of
fraud, rays Mr. Bliss, of either olaaa prior to
January, 1871. Tha hooka, neither before nor
ainoe, contain any evidenoe of fraud, but it ia
found in the memoranda and in dupUoate In-
roioer. If these ever existed for importations
prior to about January, 1871, thay have bean
destroyed. The former asserts that the fraud*
extended over several yean, and then la con
siderable indirect proof that thia is so, in the
•imilarity of rate* and standard item* before
and ainoe Janaary, 1871, the invoioee showing
the same prices before 1871 in the elaaaee of
goods shown to have been undervalued ainoe
that time. Of invoioea entered ainoe January,
in 1871, which are tainted with fraud, the
items in which undervaluations oocur amount
to $271,017 23, on whioh the amount of tha
nmiervaluition ia $6,658 78. The totalamount
of daties lost to the government was $1,664 68.
The total importations of the defendant* are
about $6,000,900 per year.
While the investigation was going on three
offers of compromise were made by the firm
none of which were aooeptod. At first they
offered the government $260,000 in enmney
and then $271,017.23—the sum whioh was
finally accepted—but the Secretary of the Treas
ury refused the first because aeoompanted by
the aeaeriionof inuooeaioe of all Intent to defraud
the revenue, and tbe second because it contained
a condition that tbe sum offered should be a
full satisfaction for all violations of law from
January 1st, 1868 to Jtnniry 1st 1873. The
third offer of $271,017 23 was at last aoeeptad
with tha condition that it should cover only
such alleged fraud! aa bad been called to tha at
tention of the Department The plea of Inno
cence was withdrawn by tha firm before the
Secretary would listen to any offer of compro
mise. On March 4th tbe sum cf $271,017.23
was paid by the firm, and the mailer dropped.

[Correspondence of tha Baltimore Son.
AxxarcLm, April 26, 1873.
In the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel coun
ty, this morning, the aeries of celebrated Whar
ton poison trials earns to a quiet and unobtrusive
end by a “ stet," entered at tha inatanoe of the
prosecution, in the ease charging Mrs. Wharton
with attempting to murder Mr. Eugene Van
Naas of Baltimore by poison. This action on
the part of tha State waa anticipated at the
time of the disagreement of the jury. It was
known definitely a week or so ago that this
wonld be the course of tha State in tbe
ease, and therefore the announcement crested
no surprise to the very few who were present,
when the State’s attorney practically abandon
ed the prosecution. The proceedings in the
ooort were as follows:
Mr. ReveU, State’s attorney for Acne Arundel
oounty, raid: “In the esse of State vs. Eliza
beth Wharton, indioted for an attempt to poison
Eugene Van Nesa, I propose, with the permis
sion of your honors, to enter a stet, and inas
much aa tha ease ha* gained great notoriety in
this State aod 'elsewhere, and been regarded
with much interest, I desire briefly to state tbe
reasons which havs impelled this course. Aa ia
well known, Mrs. Wharton was tried at the Oc
tober term, 1871, of thia ooort, for tha mnrder
of Gen. Ketobum, and, after s most protracted
and exhaustive trial, laating nearly two months,
the prteoner waa acquitted by a jury cf her
oonntry, the trial entailing great cost to the city
of Baltimore, and bankruptcy, aa I am credibly
informed, to the accused. Again she was tried
for the attempt on Mr. Van Ness’ life, and the
jury, after another long trial, failed to agree,
and were discharged. The ci.se is therefore to
be tried over, oonticued, removed or settled.
If tried in thia county, I very much doubt
whether any other result would be attained than
at tba last trial; if continued, no good oould
result; If removed, the State'" offioers would be
required, under the act of 1863, to make fcill.li
nt that juatioe cannot be done the same in
Anne Arundel oounty, an affidavit which I am
not prepared to m-ke. I have, therefore, con
cluded, onder all the circumstanoes, after de
liberation and ooddscI, to enter a stet, which is
done with tha knowledge and assent of the
State’s officer* for the oity of Baltimore, and
also of the honorable attorney general.”

The New York Times’ Washington corres

ments in whioh the improved condition of the
national oapital is held by people outside of it as
found In tha numerous purchases of residences
and real estate by members of Congress and
others. The British Legation 1b to be removed
abont half a mile northwest of ita present loca
tion, where a new mansion, occupying the larger
portion of a square, will be ereoted for it. Sena
tor Stewart, of Nevada, is building an elegant
house a short distance northweat of this. Sena
tor Sargent is to bnild in the same quarter, and
Secretary Gorham, of the Senate, and Mr. Hill-
yer, of Nevada, a wealthy lawyer, have also
located In the asms quarter. Senator Bontwell
ha* leased a fine residence in the northern-cen
tral portion of tha oity. Senators Norwood and
Gordon, of Georgia, and Ransom, of North
Carolina, have eaoh purchased a residence on
First street, east Capitol Hill, feeing the Ospi-

Macon and tho Athens Rood.
Editori Telegraph and Met)eager: A word in
reply to “No Subscription,” and in faTor of
the Maoon and Cincinnati Railroad.
If the writer desired information as to the
road, by calling on tha President or any one of
the Directors, he wonld have learned that the
road 1* to be commenced at Maoon and built
northward; that the Directors hope and expect
(hat tha road will begin to pay expenses after
first twenty miles ont of Mscon shall be
ipleted. No, Messrs. Editors, this ia a Ma
oon projeot, controlled by the basinets men of
Maoon, and every effort will be made to make
it oontribnto, in all respects, to tbe prosperity
of Maoon.
In rsferenoe to the letter of tha Athens gen
tleman, we have to say that the Macon and Cin
cinnati road is to be bnilt in the interest of Ma
oon—that we want a abort and quick route to
the West, and that Athens is out of the line,
and would increase the distanoe to Knoxville at
least fifty miles and ooet two millions more of
money than by the present contemplated lice.
If the Georgia Railroad want* a connection
with Knoxville via Athena for the benefit of Au
gusta, let that oompany bnild it, but Macon will
oak to her interest and build the short and
straight line. SmscararroN.
Small.pox in Irwlnfon,
InwiNTON, Gjl, April 30, 1873.
Editori Telegraph and Meuenger : Will yon
please allow me spaoe in yonr columns to cor
rect the report in relation to small-pox existing
In onr village now 7 I have heard that there
appeared in yonr paper a statement that Mrs.
Simmon* of thisplaoe had the dreadful disease.
Tho report has not tha least foundation, and is
utterly untrue. Tha general impression exist
ing here ia that her poor hnsband, who now lays
beneath the sod, never bad tbe disease either,
but soma disease that the physicians could not
eisctly locate. Those that saw him after death
and who all have had it say it is not the disease.
I cannot oondude until I have feebly tried to
pay at least a tribute of respect to him who bas
left us. Those who knew him best loved and
admired hia noble and pnre qualities. It would
be impossible for me to write bis obituary—
would that I were competent. But let this suffice,
that the people of this oonnty know what they
have lost, and his place oancot ever ba fulfilled.
Hi* ipirit ba* flown to the realms of everlasting
bliss and j oy.

ment was occasioned in finanoisl circles last

tor, oaahier of the bank, confesses he is a de
faulter in the snm of $400,000. Tsintor lost
the money in stock speculating, principally in
Pacific Mail. He has held the position of cash
ier for five years, and his defalcations have ex-
tended over that period. He ealled upon Mr.
Lappan, president of the Gallatin National Bank
and ehaitman of tbe clearing-house examining
oommittee, this afternoon, and confessed the
whole affair, and asked for an investigation by
the oommittee, promising to aid tbem. Tbe
committee made an examination and found that
the oapital of the bank waa Impaired about fire
hundred thousand dollars, though it was stated
later that tbe amount of defalcation would reach
six hundred thousand dollars. Tsintor assisted
the offioers all the afternoon in making the in-
veetigation. Hia father is very wealthy. It is
expeoited that the bank will be thrown ont ot the
olearing-bonae on Monday. Tbe defalcation cre
ate* much excitement. Tsintor was arrested
and taken to Lndlow street jsiL The bank will
pey fifty oents on the dollar.

A very heavy frost whitened the ground in
this oity and motion yesterday morning, and
from all that we oan learn, a very considerable
injury haa been tbe result. In acme portion*
of the oity the young ptanta are badly blighted,
many of them being entirely destroyed, while
in others than ia no perceptible injury. On the
truck farms in thia vicinity, as s general thing,
the cucumbers, squashes and beans an cut
down, while the pea vines have been very me
tonally damaged. Mr. Geo. Z. Freneh, of Ex
Delator, thinks he bse been injured to the extent
of fully $2,000. He bed began shipping peu
last week, bnt this frost wilt pnt him book now
fully a week.
From all along the line of the W. A W., the
W. 0. A R., and the W. C. A A. railroads we
bear doleful aooonnta. The more tender ot the
plants ere ruined. The ootton end oorn ere out
down to the ground, and serious fears are en
tertained that tha peaoh crop haa been destroyed,
but this latter it will take some days to fully
determine. The damage to Goldsboro’ truckers
alone ia estimated at some $25,000 or $30,000,
and those near Newbern are raid to have also
Buffered severely.
We doubt if the memory of the “ oldest in
habitant ” oan furnish a parallel to thia oold
■lap so late in the season. At thia time last
year the trackers were doing a fine business,
end every train that sped noRhward carried off
Urge consignments of early garden prodnoe to

SYNIPTOMSW CATARRH.
Prevalent in America and Europe.
1. Of the Head.—Tin.gliDg, itching, with a sense
of dryness and obstruction of tho nose, sneezing,
running of a watery secretion; as it progresses,
the secretion becomes mu conn, entire obstruction
of one or both nostrila, n&wking, tickling of the
throat, coughing, etc. 2. Catarrh of the Chest pre
vails as an epidemic sometimes, and is called influ
enza ; with or without fever, and many of tbe
symptoms just mentioned; there is oppression
across the breast, rawness and burning of tba
throat, first diy, afterward a copious ejection of
macous, which may become opaque or ffiWby, dif
ficulty of breathing, pain in the head, aud dull
feelings, a sense of sorenese, extending under tbe
breast bone lo tho stomach-pit; the fits of cough
ing may occasion vomiting, oppression, prostra
tion ; as the disease progresses, tbe sputa beoome*
ropy and viscid. This disease is called the Grippe
by some. Catarrhal Inflammation of tbe eyes
arises from colds, causes obstruction of tbe ear
passages, watery eyes, fistnla, lachrjinalis, dimness
of vision, etc.
SUPPRESSED CATARRH may produce inflam
mation of tbe lnngs, brain or eyes, or give rise to
rheumatism, nervous disorders, weeping, moaning,
tremors and convulsions, drowsiness, chilliness,
starting, twitching, p\lpitation of the heart, etc.
When the frontal sinuses above the eyes, posterior
and anterior nasal passages, become clogged np,
and even tbe antrum or cavity of the cheek
bone beoome 3 filled, or partly, it often
produces a pressure on the nerve* that
supply these parts, and pains like the
moet excrntiating neuralgia ia the result. The
disease follows the muoous membrane through the
eustachian tabes to all parts of tho same mem
brane of the ear, causing hypertrophy of the drum,
interferes with tbe functions of tho glands of
Wharton, which secrete the wax: a dryness follows,
hardness of hearing, roaring, buzzing, singing,
whistling, cracking, the ringing cf bells, and simi
lar noises, which vary, and which are simple effects,
and when the canse is removed, the effects cease:
this hardness of hearing increases with each cold.
Dr. Jones bas made old standing diseases of
every name a speciality all his life. He is well pre
pared, and performs all the more difficult and del
icate operations in surgery, especially of the eyo,
ear and nose. He is a gr&dnue cf the best medi
cal colleges in Europe ,cd America, and bis diplo
mas proving tho same are sosp'nded in his effioo.

of vrhich have peculiarities, bnt ve very much
.like in many respects, and are cured by Dr. Jones

Strabismus, or Cross-Eyednesi
la a a contraction of one or more of the muscle* of
the eye; it is remedied by dividing the muscle
which la contracted; is attended with no danger
and is on the surface of the eyeball; we oan re
store all such rases to their natural appearance and
sight by . skillful operation which we havo per
formed eleven hundred times in twenty years, and
in which we ere elweyn euooessfnl, as in fact, we
are in all delicate and difficult operations which W9
are prepared to do off-hand.
