OUR TSAFK WITH THE WORLD.
Under .litis head the Telegram has
Collated totne very interesting facta,
which we transfer to our columns : The
foreign trade of the United States for
ba past year "hows that we imported
from the following named countries
$170,993,036, white our cxpoits to the
use countries were only $47,626,297.
We bay ot the Argentine Republic $3,
602,738, while we sell her but $1,519,
190. Brazil sells us six times as much
M we get from that coffee growing coun
try, which is the chief article of export:
the imports from that empire are 45,-
453,178, while the exports aggregate
. but $7,253,218 ; Central America furn
ishes as 81,819,120, while those States
fiet of us but $938,102. The greatest
disproportion exists in our Oriental
trade. We get pretty nearly the whole
tea crop ot China and Japan for a very
. insignificant exchange. From China .
we import $12,360,851, and we export
there but $1,390,360. Japan furnishes
xtn $15,505,753, and gets of us only $1,
698,457. She must be a better custom.

tea. Of all countries Japan has the
best of us. Poor revolutionary ridden
Mexico manages to sell us three times
the amount she buys of us ; oar imports
from there being $12,505,735, while our
exports are but $4,706,778. From
Uruguay we import $1,804,552, and

we sell our cotton, breadstnfFs, provis
ions and petroleum, and where the bal
ance of trade is greatly in our favor, are
in Europe. We import from thence
$290,294,676, and our exports in that

222; sad export there $2,157,722. Our
trade with France is about evenly divid.

imports, and the same in exports. The
imports for the past -year aggregate
$411,287,7 12, whUe the exports amount
to $634,143,012. As will be seen those

CAl'UIIT AT LAST.
A most extraordinary event has oc
curred at Oban, which I give in detail,
having been an eye witness to the whole
affair. I allude to the standing and
capture of the veritable sea serpent in
front of the Caledonian Hotel, George
street, Oban. About 4 o'clock, yester
day, an animal or fish, evidently of
gigantic size, was seen b porting in the
bay near Heather Island. Its appear
anoe evidently perplexed a large num
ber of spectators assembled on the pier,
and several telescopes were directed to
ward it. A caret ut look satisfied us
that it was of the serpent species, it
carrying it head full twenty-five feet
above water. A number ot boats were
soou launched, and proceeded to the
bay, the crews armed with such weap
ons as could be got handy. Under the
directions ot Malcolm Nicholson, our
boatman, they headed the monster, and
some of the boats were within thirty
yards of it when it suddenly sprang
half length out of the water and made
for the sea. A random fire from sev
eral volunteers with rifles seemed to
have no effect upon it. Under Mr.
Nicholson's orders the boats now ranged
across the entrance ot the bay, and by
screams and shouts turned the mon
ster's course, and it headed directly for
the breact 'wall of the Great Western
Hotel. One boat, containing Mr. Don
ald Campbell, the Fiscal, had a most
narrow escape, the animal actually
rubbing against it. Mr. Campbell and
his brother jnmped overboard, and
were picked up unhurt by Mr. John
D. Hardie, saddler, in his small yacht
the Flying Send. The animal seemed
thoroughly frightened, and as the boats
clesed in the volunteers were unable to
fire more, owing to the crowds assem
bled on the shore. At a little past 6
the monster took the ground on the
beach in front of the Caledonian Hotel,
in George street, and his proportions
were not fully visible. In his frantic
exertions, with his tail sweeping the
beech, no one dared to approach. The
stones were flying in all directions, one
seriously injured a man named llaldy
Barrow, and another breaking the win
dow of the Commercial Bank. A party
of volunteers under lieutenant David
Menzie now assembled and fired volley
after volley into the neck, according to
the directions of Dr. Campbell, who
did not wish for scientific reasons, that
the configurations of the head should
be damaged. As there was a bright
moon, this continued till nearly ten o'
clock, when Mr. Stephens of the Com
mercial bank, waded in and fixed a
strong rope to the animal's head, and
by the exertion of some seventy folks it
was securely dragged above high water
mark. Its exact appearance as it lies
on the beach is as follows :
The extreme length is 101 feet and
the thickest part is about 25 feet from
the head, which is 11 feet in circura
franch. At tl is part is fixed a pair of
fins, which are four feet long by nearly
7 across the sides. Further back is a
long dorsal fin, extending for at lea6t
12 or 13 feet and 5 feet high in front,
and tapering to 1 foot. The tail is
more of a flattened termination to the
body proper than anything else. The
eyes are very small in proportion, and
elongated, and gills of the length of 24.
feet behind. There are no external
ears, and as Dr. Campbell did not wish
the animal handled until he communi
cated with some eminent scientific gen
tleman we could not ascertain if there
were teeth or not.
Great excitement is created, and the
country people are flocking in to view
it. This morning Mr. Duncan Clerk,
writer, took possession of the monster
in the rights ot Mr. M'Fee, of Appin,
and Mr. James Nichol, writer, in the
name of the Crown. .

The Tribulations of a Doctor.
At the banquet given to the Missouri
Medical Association at the St. James
Hotel, Kansas City, on April 18th, the
chairman called on Dr. Willis P. King,
of Sedalia, to respond to the toast,
"The Central District Medical Associa
tion." The inimitable drollery ot the
doctor's manner is, also, full of humor.
He said : s
Mr. President and Gentlemen : As
I have not prepared a speech I will have
to go off by spontaneous combustion.
I know that it would be the proper
thing for me to say that I did not ex.
pect to be called upon tor a speech to
night ; but it would not be true. I am
thus particular about telling the truth
in the beginning because I want to get
your confidence, when I will proceed to
lead you astray by telling you some
things that are not true.
I am glad that 1 have been called up
on to say something in regard to the
experiences of the young physician, for
I have a warm and tender place iu my
heart for the young doctors. No one
knrws except the young doctor himself,
how his heart palpitates over his first
case of sickness, and how his soul yearns
for an epidemic of measles or chicken
pox! After I gtadtiated, eleven years aso.
I started out from Sedalia, on horse
back, to the far southwest, where my
family had moved while I was at college.
(I will remark, while passing, that the
first thing I did when I arrived at the
state of manhood was to get a family.
I had heard that it was best, and that
no family should be without one.)
On my second night out I stayed all
night on the banks of the Osage river.
During the evening a neighbor came in
and saw my pill-bags. When I started
out the next morning I met the same
neighbor in company with an awkward
youth of about eighteen summers, or
somethine thereabouts. The youth bad
his hand tied up in a bundle about the
size of a yearling mule. He asked me
if I was a doctor. I told him I thought
I was. I really did think so, gentle
men. He proceeded to nndoe his hand by
unwrapping a blue cloth from it. He
then took off an old red shawl, unwind
ing toward him. He proceeded in this
way until he finally reached his hand.
He had a felon. We went to the house
I remembered tht instructions of my
friend Dr. Gregory, to get a patient be
hind you when you go to lance a felon,
with his arm under your arm. I got
him in, this position, put my knife down
to the bone, and walked out on his
phalanx!
He grabbed his sick hand with the
well one and hopped around on one
foot and howled like a wolt with a
grindstone on his tail, while I washed
my knite. He, got out bis only half
dollar. I took' it and felt like a high
way robber.
I had a young and tender conscience
then, gentlemen, but I have got over
all that now. I can take the.last cent
a man has without any compunctions.
I would have liked very much to have
kept that half dollar, as it was my first
fee ; but 1 had to spend it. I was like
the boy in the novel poor, but honest.
I am poor yet. I arrived home in due
time and went into the practice. I had
all the experiences common to young
physicians. I met the old lady who
doctored Sam Slocnm's wife when she
was sick. She was handy with a must
ard draft and hot poultice. Sue wore
a wart on her nose and a red bandanna
handkerchief on her hand.
The old lady and I became fast friends
and would have remained so until this
day had she not taken the cramp colic.
I was called to see her and concluded to
cup her. I had no cupping-glasses, and
concluded to use a glass tumbler. The
old lady had a good deal ot looseness
in the parietes of her abdomen. When
I pnt on the glass her whole abdomen
seemed to run right into the glass, and
when 1 desired to take it off I could
not. I worked and pulled and the old
la ly howled. I groped in unutterable
darkness tor a quarter of an hoar and
then got a hammer and broke the glass!
We never spoke again.
Tlie southwest was at that time set
tled by a nomadic class of people.
They are not there now. They moved
to Arkansas every fall and came back
to Missouri every spring. Each family
generally worked a yoke of steers in an
old shack of a wagon, with a blind
horse or a lame one in the lead. They
generally had about ten or a dozen chil
dren, tour or five dogs and an old gun!
I waited on them in stables, tents, wag
ons, under wagons and out ot d ors. I
sometimes found as many as three or
four in one bed, and they would emit
an odor somewhat akin to that eraenat
ing from a saddle blanket full ot wet
cats. I had a young and tender stom
ach then also. I have since developed
up a stomach that don't get its back np
at every passing bad smelt !
But of all things that afflicted me in
my eaily experience as a physician, the
idea of a consultation was the worst.
I dreaded meeting the old physicians.
I thought gray hairs and wisdom were
synonymous words. There was a man
practicing in that country who had been
there well, ever since the flood. He
had a wonderful reputation. I put the
thing off as long as I could, but the in
evitable came at last. One ot the prom
inent men in roy neighborhood got sick
with pneumonia; and when the lung had
solidified, and he bnd passed near unto
death, I honestly informed the family
of his dangerous condition. Of course
they wanted Smith; '' I call him Smith
because that was not bis name. Smith
came, and I met him with tear and
trembling. h He wore s. No. 3. hat and
a No. 13 boot. I gave him the history
of my case and the treatment, and
awaited the coming storm. I expected
to be overwhelmed with a flood ot tech
nicalities and with bis wonderful knowl
edge of pathological anatomy. He look,
ed at tiw through hk spectacles with
the gravity ot an owl and said :
"Doctor, did ybu ever try a black
uu.-eg.ui poultice in tnese casesr.
-1 admitted that in my ieno
my ignorance I
never bad.
I thought it a good time for me to
get out ot the case. So I informed the
family that, as Dr. Smith had been their
family physician ' before they knew me,
be had better j take the case. They
were only too glad to make the change.
That was an awful and calmitous night
on cats. I
The man died, and Smith told them
that it he had seen the case two hours
earlier, and had succeeded in getting a
lee tie' blacker cat, he would have saved
him. The family still think so. Sa
cred be the memory of Smith; he has
been gathered to his fathers.
My next consultation was with a man
whom, tor convenience, I shall call
Jones. I rode fifteen miles on a dark
night to meet him. When I went into
the cabin I was met by a terrible smell
which gave me spasmodic asthma. I
thought they were burning old boot
heels. . Jones arose from one corner of
the room and introduced himself. I saw
at once that he was a man ot high
standing in the profession six feet three
in his stocking feet. He had but one
eye, and his nose looked like a red lan
tern in a torch-light procession. When
he towered above me and beamed on
me with his good eye, and that nose, I
almost wilted. I asked whence came
that awful smell. He said that he was
burning chicken feathers under toe bed
to bring away a retained placenta f
He added that he had always heard
the Dominicker feathers were the -best.
The pot was then removed on account
ot my asthma. ! When I came to exam
ine the case I found the poor woman
covered all over with ears of hot corn.
The doctor said that he had always
beard that boiled corn was good in
those cases. I told him I thought it
was good tor horses. The woman
d ed, but I am sorry to say that Joues
still lives. 1
I have been j requested to give, for
the benefit ot those who make a specialty
ot diseases of the ear, a case of deafness
that I didn't treat. The man came in
to my office wirh a peculiar, listening
expression on his face, and putting his
right hand behind his ear, be said, in a
voice that showed evident enlargement
of his tonsils: :
"Is this Dr.! King's office? Doctor,
I've come to see if you could cure my
deafness. I've i been deaf for a long
time, and I've tried a good many doc
tors, and they ain't done me no good,
and I've paid out a heap of money, and
I'm a mighty poor man ; you mustn't
charge me much. Do you think you
can cure me?" i -
"Hah!" I said, "I don't know."
He said, "Hah ! I don't know."
I said at the i top of my voice, "may
be you had better go to an aurist."
"Dr. Forrest," said he, "is be a good
doctor?"
"I didn't say Forrest," I replied; I
said aurist, a man who treats diseases
ot the ear," in a voice loud enough to
split him from end to end..
He said; "Hah!"
"Oh, go down stairs and soak your
feet," I said, not knowing what else to
say. i
"Soakum & Peet," said he ; "do
they cure deafness? Do you think they
can cure meV"
I adjourned on him to get rid of him.
I am going to send him to my friend
Dr. Spencer.
Mr. President, I am glad . I came
here, and especially so glad to meet so
many gentlemen of the profession. I
always go away from these meetings
feeling about two feet taller than when
I came. After partaking of the hospi
tality of the people ot Kansas City and
enjoying this magnificent banquet, I
feet like staying here always; but as I
can't do that. I have concluded to take
Kansas City home with me. It would
make such m nice suburb to Sedalia.
I came near going home this afternoon,
and it 1 had I would not have been here
to-night. I believe that is a logical
statement. Next to being truthful, I
desire to be logical. Gentlemen, I
thank you for your kind attention. .
