A.. J. JERNIGAN. ‘‘Oollooting debts for other people it- a business that has its drawbacks,” said a man wlio for years lias made bis living at it, "You seo that I am a very small man. Well, I suffer for nty smallness. You may notice a bluo tinge under my oyo. It was as black as a sloo last week. 1 called upon a Nassau street lawyer, who owed a Jersoy City tailor 84U for a suit of clothes, and intimated, very respectfully that I bad como for the money. You will scarcely credit it, but he kicked mo down two flights ol Htairs, aud flung mo into the street. I fell on my faoo, and it was not his fist, but n paving stouo that blaokeued my oyo. Of course, I made all tho resist ance I could, but what chance would 1 havo against a great six-footor, such as ho was? Yes, I am ofteu ill-used much in the same way, aud I And it never pays to oall tho police, or to look to the law for satisfaction. Tho best way is to grin and bear it. Largo men would be much more successful as collectors than small ones. I supposo John L. Sullivan would reoover tho amount of tho bill every time; bnt largo men won’t go into the business, as a rule; so we aro nearly all small, aud are savagely abused. ‘‘The debts I am sent to collect arc mostly very bad debts, indeod. I classify them iu their dogrocs of bad , uoss. If 1 have to ask a burly ruffian for the amount of a bill that ho lias already refused to pay, why, I expect to be rewarded with nt loast half of it if I reoover the money. Nobody but myseli pays my doctor’s bill if things go hard with mo. In more promising cases, ol course, I am satiiiled with a smaller sum. Occasionally I lmvo luck. A mouth ago I recovered $G00 that seemed a hopeless debt. Tho man who paid it was drunk at tho tiino, aud hnd just been left a fortune by his aunt. 1 re ceived 8300 out of it, and took a rest for a few days, as I generally do when I get a windfall; but I am usually as poor ns a orow. “Inevor have the slightest expectation of collecting monoy the first time I usk. But constant dripping of water will wear away a stone, and after I have nailed about twenty times the debtor, if he is not a violent 'fellow, finds that his life is boooming a burden to him, find tho number of lies he has told in making appointments with me, and then keep ing out of the way, only, of course, to meet me tho next day or the day after with a flimsy explanation and another bogus appointment, begins at last to weigh upon his conscience, however de praved it may be. Then perhaps he pays, either by installments, which is the worst possiblo way, both for him aud for me, or in a lump snm. | “No, sir I If I had a son I would not | bring him up to be a oolleotor of debts.

J. Putnam, of Chicago, who under went a surgical operation for tho removal of a supposed tumor from tho abdomen, from which she had suffered for thirteen years, hut which, whon removed, proved to bo u fully formed and well-developed child, died on Wednesday. Tho case is without parallel in medioal records. Mrs. Putnam was over 50 years of ago, and hor husband has boon dead nine years. Four years previous to his doath, after ex pos uro in a rain storm, sho was taken sick, and nn enlargement, which was pronounced a tumor, began to form in tho abdomen. After consulting various Chicago physicians, who failed to do anything to roliovo hor sufferings, she sout for a leading physician in St. Louis, who told hor that it would bo impossible to ro ne vo tho tumor except at the cost of hor life. Ho advised her to goto Bt. Louis and place herself undor his treatment. She did so in the full of 1882, ami remained under his earo for several months, hut rooeived no bouefit. Sho had been subject to spasms, which tlic phy sicians generally agreed wero epileptic fits rticso convulsions increased until sho had as many as six a day. They enmo on without warning, oftentimes while sho xwis in the street, lusting from fivo minutes to ovor an hour, but with no pain. During tho tldi teen yoars that she suffered from this supposed tumor sho had been under tho constant treatment of tho best physicians in Chicago, they all believing that tho tumor could bo absorbed and would eventually disap pear. About a month ago she consulted Dr. J. H. McFiitricli, who told her that medicine would not help her, and tlmt nothing would save hor except a surgical operation, and tlmt would probably kill her. Alter several moro attempts to get relief with medicino, Mrs. Put nam decided to allow tho operation to ho per formed. Accordingly Drs. McFatrich, Milton Jay and A. L. Clark met at hor residence to perform tho operation. After an affecting parting with hor * family and friends, she prepared for tho ordeal. Hho was put lmdor the lnlluonco of ether and an iucision was made in the abdomen, whon in stead of a tumor, the operator drew out a child, which was alivo and iu good health. The patient regained consciousness and there was hope of hor rocovory, but in the following evening she suddenly became unconscious. Dr. McFatrich was summoned and admini stered restoratives, but she did not regain con sciousness, and died at 11 &0. Death was caused by shock. reward.
