A FATAL MISTAKE.
Tiik Cleveland (Ohio) Pres?,
p f February 23d, 1883, puh-
lislied an account of a lalal
gurdcal operation which caused
a g^at commotion among med
ial men throughout the whole
country, Dr. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears
that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
d with
commenced w
rangemeut of the
with a poor appetit
by a peculiar indesi
tress in the
slight de-
digestion,
*, followed
ribable dis-
tomaeli, a leeling
that has been described as a
faint “all gone” sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky—
a cold perspiration.. There
was a constant tired and lan
guid feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in tin* stomach,
and in order to save the patient’s
life an operation was justifi
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1NS3, the opera
tion was performed by Dr.
Vance in the presence of Dr.
Tuckernmn. Dr. lVrrier, Dr.
Arms, Dr. (fordon. Dr. (’apner,
and Dr. Halliwoll of the Police
board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin
ation of the organs was made,
but to t lie horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died

CONCLUSION.
tsniiii! tiim* ago a frienil of mine, who
peaks the Chinese language, listened
to a conversation between a Chinese
ami a Japanese diplomatist, which
forcibly illustrated the progress that
European ideas hare made in the far
east. The two men were discussing
the question as to how much of west
ern civilization it was desirable to in
troduce into their respective coun
tries. The diplomatist from China
was greatly impressed with the im
measurable superiority of European
sciences over anything of the sort ex
isting in that empire. The Japanese
fully agreed with his friend that both
China anil Japan should profit to the
uttermost by the fruits of modern in
ventions and discovery; but he re
marked that that was not enough and
that something more was needed.
Pressed to say what it was he replied
that to tlie science they ought to add
the religion of Europe. The China
man differed from his friend on that
point, but the latter repeated his opin
ion in yet stronger language. He
said that although tho Japanese gov
ernment did not know mueh about tin*
Christian religion and attached no
more importance to it than they did to
any other form of supernatural belief,
they at one time seriously thought of
taking it over and making it the re
ligion of the state. The Chinaman
still expressed ins incredulity as to
th e wisdom of such a proceeding, but
the Japanese clinched his opinion by
referring to the case of the Turks.
“Look at the Turks,” he said; “they
have availed themselves of all of the
benefits they could derive from mod
ern science. They have gunboats and
ironclads and artillery, but yet they
are losing ground every day. Science
in this instance does not suffice to ar
rest national decay, and therefore 1
am forced to believe that the Turks
liavo made a mistake in sticking to
their religion instead of adopting that
of the stronger race.”
This remarkable conversation took
place in London. As evidence that,
so far as the Japanese diplomatist
was concerned, it was not empty
sound, 1 may mention that, at the
request of tho Japanese authorities, a
committee lias been formed in this
country for the purpose of establish
ing female boarding schools in the
city of Tokio. They desire to see es-
i tarnished institutions in which Chris-
j tian ladies would impart instruction,
both secular and religious, to Japa
nese girls of the upper classes, and I
am assured by a friend who is inter
ested in tlie matter that before long
the experiment will be made. Tlie
Japanese agnostic, although utterly
skeptical himself, is quite willing that
his daughters should be taught any
religion which would enable them to
better their condition in this world.

The Chicago Election.
Yesterday's election in Chicago was
not a local contest. It was watched
with intense interest by the whole
country, and there will be general
joy aniong the good people in every
section when the result is known.
The socialists were completely rout
ed. The democrats, unable to find a
suitable candidate who would accept
their nomination for mayor, heartily
united with tlie republicans to oleet
their man, and thus save the city
from tlie brand of shame which a so
cialist triumph would have put upon
it. Ordinary political differences
were obliterated in the presence of a
common enemy. When they found
themselves facing tlie foes of law and
order, the true men of Chicago united
: on those principles which tire deeper
I than till party creeds, and so united
| they crushed tho mongrel assailants
of the peace and honor of the com
munity. Chicago has just cause for
rejoicing this morning. Yesterday s
work may be the beginning of the
end of those disorders which have
fretted tlie city with strife and riot
and threatened it with the direst dan
gers. Constitution, Oth inst.

friends by the hundred. He was a
nephew of Hon. Alexander H. Steph
ens and was greatly loved by tlie old

lawyer of LaGrange, who practiced
law in tho courts of that section,
meeting at the bar such men as the
late Benjamin H. Hill. Colonel Steph
ens was educated at Athens, took a
law course in Virginia and practiced

and to in other ways adjust the state
to the new order of things. A short
while afterwards Colonel Stephens
married a daughter of Hon. W. W.
Simpson. Three children blessed
their union, one daughter and two

Wade Hampton’s Belief in Prayer.
The love and admiration in which lie
is held by tlie people Of South Caroli
na are illustrated in an incident relat
ed by General Hampton when he was
recovering from his sickness.
“I am certain”, lie said, “that my
life was saved by the fervant prayers
of the people of South Carolina. J
was at the point of death and had lost
all interest in life, when I received a
letter from an old Methodist minister,
a friend, telling me of the deep and
devout petitions put up for my restor
ation to health by the Methodist Con
ference then in session at Newberry.
The letter closed by begging me to ex
ercise iny will to live in response to
the supplications of the people of the
whole State, who were praying for
me night and day in every household.
When I heard the letter read 1 prom -
ised my sister that I would heed the
kind, loving words of tlie man of God,
and arouse my will to live. Thas
night 1 fell into a deep sleep and
dreamed most vividly that I was in a
spacious room in which 1 was moved
to all parts of the State, so that I
met my assembled friends every
where. 1 remember most distinctly
of all, old Beaufort, where 1 had last
been. 1 saw immense assemblages,
and as I looked down upon them a
grave personage approached me and
touched me on the shoulder and said
to me: ‘These people are praying for
you. Live! Live!! Live!!!’ 1 never
realized anything like it before. It
seemed a vision. I woke tlie next
morning feeling the life-blooil creep
ing through my veins, and 1 told my
family that the crisis was passed and
that 1 should getbetten”—Z. L. White
in American Magazine.

This spring with your blood full of
impurities, your digestion impaired,
your appetite poor, kidneys and liver
torpid, and whole system liable to be
prostrated by disease—but get your
self into good condition, anil ready

er, by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. It
stands unequalled for purifying the
blood, giving an appetite, and for a
general spring medicine.
Gov. Hill’8 Veto.
Albany, N. Y., April 12.—Gov. Hill
sent to the Assembly this evening
his long expected veto of tho Crosby
High 1 jioense bill. This veto is based
upon the ground that the bill is special
legislation, in that it applies to only
two cities of the State, New Yorkand
Brooklyn,and that it is clearly uncon
stitutional.
Thackeray ia credited with having
said that, while most men have been
drunk once in their lives, no gentle^
mac eyer gota drunk a second time.
