an Kngllsh Criticism of farnell's Scheme.
Naw Yobk, Jan. 6. The Telegram has a live
jolumn letter by cable from Karl Dunraven
on Paroell and bis mission, frcui which the
following extracts are taken : "Of all the
qnack cures for hard times the 'patent Par
oell pill' is the simplest and most deleterious
in its consequences. It consists of tbe max
ims, 'When bard up, don't pay yourdeb'.s;'
Pay yonr rent when it's convenient to do so;
if it's inconvenient to pay it, do not 'Unite
wd you cannot be compelled to pay, neither
yio yon be turned out.' Robbery organized
sn such a scheme would, of course, be hard
to deal with, and there would be some sense
in the id 3a if Irish tenant formers were de
void of all moral feelings But they are not.
h is obvious that if tenant farmers paid no
rent they would be better off for a l.ttle time,
in the same way tha: they wcuid be belter
iff if tbey did not pay for their clothes and
for tbe provisions they purchase. Toe pro
ceedings of tbe ParueliittiS are peculiar. They
assert farmers cannot pay their r.'nt in bad
times. As a remedy tuey propose that tbe
people should pay rent, and a large sum iu
iddition, to the government, for a term of
thirty-five years. Are tbey ceitain that there
sill not come bad harvests in that period?
Oo tbey think the government would mke
ihatemeots or trouble tbe r heads about tbe
condition of their tenants? The Parnellites
recommend the people that which is illeeal,
aut beg them to keep within tbe limits of tbe
law. They urge them to keep possessiou of
.he property, money or land belonging to
others, and excite them to expressions of
wntiments which imply a determination
to cheat one class of creditors rather
than pay debts due them, and ap
parently fail to see that they are rec
ommending theft and condoning murder.
They claim to have tbe welfare of the Irish
people at heart, and endeavor to prevent
them from bettering their condition by emi
gration. If a company can only be formed
successfully in large holdings, you cauuot
alter circumstances by changing the tenure
of land. Envgration is powerless to deal
with immediate need, and relief must be ob
tained from other sourcts. Tbe government
appears to have wisely decided against grant
ing state aid to Ireland at present. State in
terference in such matters is usually injudi
cious. It is essential that priva.e charities
should be carefully administered, and the
money judiciously employed. If large sums
are subscribed, tbe money, after the present
pressing necessities of the country have been
relieved, can be spent with certainty of profit
in one way, and that is by helping and en
couraging emigration. An experiment in the
way of peasant proprietorship ' tuigut bs
tried. It is bard to theorize in Bach ma t?rs.
In very exceptional cares it might prove a
success an unusually pruden; man mig'it
succeed in getting and keepmg bis freehold,
and where a farm contained large proportions
of unimproved but improvable land, its yield
might keep pace for a time with tbe menac
ing number of human beings to be supported
by it. I fear, however, that the experiment
would invariably prove a lamentable failure.
Ireland ought to be fairly prosperous.
One such period of agitation, however,
by disturbing men's minds, by inducing
them to indulge in foolish dreams, by reduc
ing values and destroying credit, by alienat
ing English capital and producing in the
English mind a feeling cf disgust in every
thing Irish sets the country back years and
yeais. FeeliDg thu strongly as 1 do, and
seeing that Mr. Parnell proposes to devote
tbe funds be may obtain in America to fo
ment and keep up a stats of things ia'al :o
toe country, l ao most sincerely nope that
his success may be small. No mau would
more heartily wish success to bis mi sion
than I, were this money to be applied in any
practical manner that could benefit tue peo
ple." The earl conclude by saying that be looks
in vain through all the speeches of Parnell
and his adherents for one little glimmer of
practical co iinun sense.
An Invitation to Parnell.

"MY LAN r IAT ID Till! I'OHP.INi,'
The liural Siiirit says: On the third
day of the present month, when in con
versation with Captain J. C. Ainsworth,
he made this remark: "This is my last
day in the company (meaning, as you
are quite aware, the O. S. S. Co).
Thirty-two years of our life seemed to
flash across our memory; for it was in
tho summer of 1847 that we were walking
along the levee in St. Louis, lo?king to
see if there was any boat "up" for
Keokuk, Iowa, when our attention was
attracted by the singing of a crew on the
forward deck of a well-appearing steamer,
the song being
"Ob. come on board the old Rentuckv.
Bhe will rock you slow and easy;
She Is a bully boat, with a bully crew,
With a bully mate and captain too."
Wo stepped on board and soon made
the acquaintance of Captain Ainsworth,
who, it was said, was the only captain
that could make tho Kentucky pay.
After a short visit home, we again visited
the Great River and engaged our services
to the Iron City, Captain Bill Brown
being in charge, with the late W. C,
Ralston as chief clerk. When the boat
ing season closed, we were placed in
charge of the latter boat. She proved to
be in a bad condition, and we wrote to
''Old Uncle Jimmy" at Keokuk (the boat
being at Montrose) that she could not be
"kept up." On the third day of January,
184S just 32 years ago who should
take command but Capt. J. C. Ains
worth. After an unsuccessful attempt to
get the Iron City to Rock Island, to put
her in condition, we returned to Mont
rose. At this place Capt. Ainsworth
left ns. Captain Brown coming up and
taking charge, with orders to haul her
out for repairs. (If Captain Bill Brown
should ever see this article, we presume
he will call to mind tha "rock on the
capstan," and the order ho gave to
Charley Baker for the best horse he had
in the stable to carry the young mate
"ten thousand miles away. We met
Captain Ainsworth on his arrival in
Oregon, and hare known him ever since.
No pen or words can recommend Captain
Ainsworth. And now that he has retired
from a snccessful business career, we
trust that he may live long and enjoy
the frnits of such an honorable and ex
emplary spent life. We regret to learn,
however, that ho expecta to reside out
side of Oregon.
Tbe temperature in Mercury is sup
posed to be seven times hotter than our
torrid zone; therefore if it is inhabited it
must be by people very differently con
stituted from ourselves.

"No Elson, I don't think you are act

Now, Dick, old boy, don't be too hard
on a fellow. Those ear butterflies tire
tue. I want something new. Annie is
sueh a pretty little thing and her sim
plicity amuses me. She is only my sis
ter s servant, and of course she don t ex
pect that I mean anything serious. She
is pleased with my attentions, and just
like all the women always reaily to fall
iu love with every nice looking chap
they chance to meet. I should not be
surprised if she would meet me to-night
with a frown and a cold how do you do?
And to-morrow smile lovingly on yon."
"Frank Elson, you have no more heart
than a mummy. Uan t you see that the
child is passionately in love with you?
Ono look into her eyes will tell the story.
Poor child, she might as well have
thrown her affection away on a marble
image as to bestow it on one like you. At
least be man enough to undeceive her be
fore the knowledge that you are only tri
fling with her gives her too much pain."
"Good 1 Lord! man, to hear you talk
ono would suppose that I had been guilty
of some dreadful crime, the greatest vil
lain in this States, just because I've been
amusing myself with a servant girl."
There was a ring of scorn in his tones
which aroused the blood in Richard
Sword's veins, and he replied hotly:
"And so you are a villain, if you play
with tho affections of that innocent
child."
There was an angry flush on his face,
which boded no good, and Frank Elson,
not wishing to provoke the anger and
thereby lose the friendship of the young
lawyer said laughingly while he knocked
the ashes off the end of his cigar:
"Well, Dick, since you take this matter
so mack, to heart I will let Miss Annie
understand, in tlio' most delicate manner
possible, that our
riendship must end
Do

and if it was not for
my family, I almost think I would le
tempted to marry her. No woman ever
inspired me with the same feeling she
does. What a great pity it is that she is
nothing more than a servant."
"She is a thousand times better than
any of the painted dolls we have here,
and a more perfect lady than any of them.
I am much mistaken, or Annie Grey has
lieen reared to be waited upon, rather
than to be the servant of others. Did
you notice how very small and white her
hands are?"
"Yes, Dick; and my sister also re
marked it. By George, I wouldn't be
surprised if she had run away from
home. My sister knows nothing about
her. She employed her two weeks ago,
through the recommendation of one of
her lady friends. When I come to
think of it, no poor girl could have ob
tained the education she possesses. My
suspicions have been aronsed, and I am
determined to find out something about
her. When I first saw this young girl,
she was reading a letter written in
French, for one of the servants. I
promised Captain Justiun that we would
ride with him this evening. Will you
come?"
"Yes; I want to see the Captain about
the Tresuot estate."
The young men rose aud entered the
hotel parlor, just as a slender, white
robed, girlish figure glidod swiftly out
of one of the Hummer house, and sink
ing into one of the low seats, sho drew a
long, shuddering breath.
She was apparently about sixteen. The
round, sweet face was very white, and
tho scarlet lips were tightly compressed.
There was a dangerous gleam in the
blue eyes, as she muttered under her
breath:
"Only a servant! The contemptible
flatterer; I will repay him for this or die
iu the attempt."
A few minutes after sho passed out,
and met Frank Elson and Richard
Sword on their way to Captain Jnstian's.
Annie met the young artist with
bright laughing eyes and sweet smiles.
She returned Dick's deep Imjw with a
slight inclination of the head, but the
luwyer saw a look in her eyes that puz
zled him for a long time after.
She tripped along towards tho house;
and the young men continued their walk
in the direction of tho Captain's cottage.
When Frank Elson returned to the hotel
late that evening, his sister flew to him
with the intelligence that Annie Gray,
her children's nurse, had left that even
ng. "Oh! Frank, what shall 1 do? Annie
was a perfect treasure. I'll never get
another one like her."
"Probably she might be induced to re
turn. Did she leave her address ?"
Frank asked the question quietlv.
but there was a queer feeling at his
heart.
"No; sue didn't tell me where she was
going. I even offered her higher wages,
out noming woum induce ner to re
main.
Mrs. Hoffman ran out to meet her hus
band, and 1- rank was alone. His sweet
little wild rose had flown. He would
miss her; for the feeling at his heart told
him that he loved her
Six months later Frank Elson was
seated in Dick's town office, talking over
the fortunate young lady, who, by the
death of her grandfather, "became heir to
his vast estate.
"I am going to call on her this even
ing, to give her the account of the estate
Will you come ?"
"Well, I dont care if I do. Is she
handsome?" asked the artist, stroking his
yellow mustache.
I never saw the lady myself, but rum
or says she is quite young and very pret
ty. You can judge for yourself this eve
ing," replied tho lawver.
The town clock had just pealed forth
the hour of eight, as our two friends were
shown into tho brilliantly-lighted parlor
of the Trcscot Mansion, while their cards
were conveyed to Miss Trescot.
ine artist was as nanasome as ever,
but his gay, careless manner was crone.
He had searched everywhere for Annie
Gray but his efforts were In vain. He
fonnd no trace of her. It grieved him
much, for he discovered that he loved
her fondly, and would marry her at any
cost. His proud family and her position
in life were forgotten. Her pure love
was all he longed for.
There was the rustle of silken robes as
as the door opened to admit Miss Tres
cot.
Both young men rose instantly, but aa
their glance rested upon the young lady
tliey stooa stui. irrans: came forward
with outstretched hand, saying eagerly,
wnue nis eyes sit np witu wim joy :
" Anne Gray ! Ia it possible I At last
I ve found you.
The color deepened in her cheeks, but
she answered haughtily with a proud in-
cunat:a of ner heart :
Not Annie Gray Miss Trescot, if
yon please.
His outstretched hand fell listlessly to
his side as he stood looking at the fair
girl in blank amazement.
Miss Trescot advanced towards the as
tonished lawyer. She held out her hand
saying sweetly :
" I am pleased to meet yon again. Mr,
Sword, and thank you for your noble
defense ol a servant.
His hand closed over hers, and the elo
quent look he bent upon her expressed
his pleasure more fully than simple
urun cuiuu nave uone.
" Miss Trescot, by some means you
have learned the conversation that passed
between Mr. Sword and myself, the day
you left my sister's employ. But believe
me when I say that I've bitterly repented
oi me worus j. nsea. l searched every
where for you to ask you to marry me,
but found no trace of yon till this even
iug. Won't yon forgive me? I ask noth

choked, andjhe walked hastily to the
wmaow asnamea oi nis emotion.
bhe looked taJter him ; pity taking the
place of sriornl in her eyes.
Miss Trscojt. glided to the young art

arm, said $oitiy :
" I do nbt hate vou. Mr. Elson. and
I'm trnly gladj to meet you as a friend."
rrans graspeu uie white jeweled hand.
and a bright, eager look crept into his
eyes as he bpoke ; but, as the word friend
fell upon his ear, the light died out, and
a hopeless expression settled over his
face.
"I freely orgive you, but all the affec
tion I ever felt for yon died a sudden and
violent death, when I accidently over
heard you and Mr. Sword conversing
about Annie Gray. No doubt you think
it very strange," she continued, "why
one who had been reared to a life of ease
and luxury, should seek employment as
a common servant: I will tell you what
prompted mo to take such a step. My
grandfather sent for me one day, and in
formed me that he had chosen a husband
for me, and if I did not consent to marry
him - would never receive a penny from
him. I became very angry, and told him
very plainly that I would rather starve
than marry a man I hated. I determined
to leavo my home, and accordingly ac
quainted a lady friend of my intention,
receiving her solemn promise to keep my
secret. Sho gave me a letter to your
sister, who employed me at once. I met
yon and thought you were true and per-
iect. x uere i also met the man my grand
father willed I should niarrv. I found
him a gentleman in the true sense of the
word. Becoming disgusted with my lifo
as a servant, I returned to my home; my
dear grandfather freely forgiving my lit
tle) adventure."' 1
As she ceased speaking the younc law
yer drew near. Bowing low before! the
heiress, he said quickly, while a flush
swept over his face
"Miss Trescot, your grandfather snrel v
informed you that tho person whom he
had done the great honor to choose for
tho husband of his grand-daughter had
declined to accept the honor until he had
formed the acquaintance of the vonne
lady, and hud won her heart and her free
consent to become his wife."
"Yes, Mr. Sword," Annie replied, a
vivid blush lving on her cheeks. "Dear
grandpa told me how nobly you had
acted, even refusing to be mentioned in
the will."
'I was only just, Miss Trescot; the
money was rightfully yours, aud I would
have been a villian to act otherwise. If
you will lend me a few minutes I will
give you an account of your estate."
I ho lawyer drew out a package of pa
pers, as he spoke, and taking a seat on
the sofa beside Annie, he becan to ex
plain the different meanings to her.
a f rank l-.lson, after bidding Annie Tres
cot good-bye, bowed to Dick, and took
nis tlepartnre, a wiser if not a happier
man.
When he had gone an awkward silence
fell between the two, the color coming
and going in the young girl's checks,
and Dick's heart beating at a rapid rate.
At last Annie buried her face in her
hands and burst into tears.
Dick drew one of her hands gently
away from her face and said softly:
w nut grieves you, Annie?
She did not answer but continued to
weep.
"I must tell von now or never. Annie.
I love you. Is there any affection for a
great rough fellow like me in your pnro
heart?"
There was a passionate feeling in Ids
tone which caused her to dry her tears

How Saskei Met Moony. Well, sir;
it was a most unexpected meeting. I
was living at tins tune at Newcastle, Pa.,
pastor of a little MethodiBt church.
Some gentlemen had eomo down from
Pittsburg and organized a branch of the
lonng Men s Christian Association. Not
long after there was a convention in
J ndianapolis. I was persuaded upon to
go and went in company with another
gentleman. Mr. Moody was also a dele
gate to the convention and it seems he
was struck by my singing, as my voico
was a prominent one. He inquired of a
friend who I was and said ho wanted to
meet me. The Sunday following there
was a prayer meeting, and it was an
nounced that Mr. Moody would preach.
I heard of Moody and had always liked
to read anything I saw in the papers
about him, and of course we all went to
hear him. It happened that the singing
lagged badly, and it came near ruining
the meeting. A friend of mine came to
me and said, "Now when this man
finishes his prayer yon start np a hymn
and it will give this thing a start for we
cannot afford to have the meeting fail
for want of singing." I did so. I sang
the old hymn, "There is a fountain
filled with blood." Tho people took it
up, and the meeting was successful
right through. After that Mr. Moody
sent the Rev. Mr. McGillen to me and
he wanted to know me. Mr. Moody did
not say, "How do you do?" or "I am
glad to see you," or anything. He took
me by the hand though, and immedi
ately said, "I have been looking for von
for eight years. Where do you live? I
told him. "How are you? I told him
how old I was aud he asked: "Are you
married?" "Yes." How many children
have yon?" "One." "Well, I want you
to leave your home and come to Chicago1
I have got a place for yon. You must
come, for there is work there that the
Lord wants you to do, and you must do
it. Two months passed, I guess, and he
wrote me so much that I finally went to
Chicago, santt for him iu his church, and
have been with him ever since." f San-

A Sympathizing STBANOEn.--On the

"Uver $8 and winter right at your

Colonel Jack Hays' Hen. r
The Indiana Jiegister, in February,
1848, published a series of letters from
Lieutenant Colonel Ebenezer Dumont,
Fourth Indiana Volunteera. One of
them we find in a copy of the New Or
leans Delta, of February 13, 1848, in our
possession, containing the following ex
ceedingly graphic and interesting de
scription of the entrance of Col. Jack
Hays' Texas Rangers into the city of
Mexico: ,
"Well, yes, I was abont telling you
how the Rangers came to town. They
rode some sideways, some standing up
right, some by the reverse flank, some
faced to the rear, some on horses, some
on asses, some on mustangs, and some
on mules. Here they came, rag-tag and
bob-tail, pell-mell, helter-skelter. The
head of one covered with a slouched hat,
that of another with a towering cocked
hat, and a third bare-headed, whilst
twenty others had caps made of the skins
of every variety of wild and tame beasts.
The dog, the cat, the 'bar,' the coon, and
the wild-cut, had for this purpose all
fallen a sacrifice, a willing sacrifice, on
the express condition that not one hair
of their tails should be touched; that is
to say, I suppose it must have been on
this condition, for each cap had a tail
hanging to it, and the very tail, too, I
am keen to swear, that belonged to the
original owner of tho hide. I fancy even
now that I hear the last request of that
same old coon, which was, 'Oh, spare
that tail!" This dying injunction has not
been forgotten. His tail is still where
nature placed it, and will there re
main. But I am wandering. The sub
ject upon which I started was the Texas
Rangers, and find that I am on the sub
ject of coons. To return. A nobler set
of fellows than these same Texan tatter-i
demotions never unsheathed a sword in
their country's cause, or offered up their
lives on their country's altar. Young
and vigorous, kind, generous, and brave,
they have purposely dressed themselves
in such a garb, as to prove to the world
at a glance that they are neither regulars
nor volunteers common, but Texas Ran
gers as free and unrestrained as the air
they breathe, or the deer in their own
native wildwood.
"Many condemned them on sight, for
the world is prone to judge a man by his
coat. But by correct deportment and
marked proprioty, during their stay at
this place, they won rapidly upon the es
teem of those who had condemned them
in advance.
"Beforo they left, they accompanied
General Lane to Matamoras, and fought
that battle, and as usual came off first
best, with the loss of but one man. I
have described the entrance of Hays' reg- 1
iment into this town, and will now tell a
little of what took place on their arrival
at the city of Mexico.
Hays men entered the City of the
Aztecs and approached the Halls of the
Montezumas, as at this city, the subjects
of universal curiosity. The sides of the
streets were lined with spectators of every !
hue and grade, from a Major General of
the North American Army to a Mexican
beggar. Quietly they moved along. Not
a word was spoken. They seemed uncon
scious that they were the observed
of all observers. The trees in
their own native forests would
have attracted as much of their
attention as they seemed to bestow upon
anything around them. They seemed to
say, 'We have seen men, and been in
cities before.' The difference between
their entry into the city and that which
I now describe was a mere freak of their
own. It is said that a real gentleman is
as much at home in one place as another
. , , i ....
in ine oear-oance and the noe-down. as
well as in the King's palace. In each
place, they acted their part well. In this,
it was to play the part of a bull at a fair
to show more courage than conduct.
There, as the sequel proves, it was to
show both courage and conduct. This.
with them, was to be the bear-dance, and
tne oiuer tne Jh.ing s palace.
"After entering the city, they had pro
ceeded some distance without being mo
lested; but the temptation at length be
came too great for a Mexican to with-
stand, and one standing upon the side
walk threw a stone at the head of one of
the Rangers. As usual with the Mexi
cans, he overshot the mark, and took off
the cap instead of the head of Ids in
tended victim. Never was a guilty act
more instantly punished. It was the last
stone he ever threw for, qnicker than
thought, a flush was seen, a report wa3
heard, and the offender fell dead. A flash
of lightning from the Eternal Throne
could not have more speedily called him
to account. The Ranger quietly replaced
the pistol in his belt, reclaimed his cap,
and rode on. Ere long, another stone
was thrown and another greaser launched
into eternity. During all this time no
noise was heard, no disturbance was per
ceivable, the colnmn never halted, and
the ranks were not broken.
"Information soon reached Scott that
two Mexicans were killed as "Hays en
tered the city. Having exerted himself
to suppress all disorder and prevent all
outrages, the commanding general was
extremely wrathy, and despatched an or
der for Colonel Hays to appear instantly
before him. In five minutes a tall, gen
tlemanly young man stood before tho
commander-in-chief of the American
army, and accompanying the word with
the proper salute, thus addressed him:
'I, sir, am Colonel Hays, commander
of the Texan Rangers, and report
myself to you in accordance with an or
der just received. General Scott re
plied : 'I have been infonned, sir, that
since tho arrival of your command in
this city two Mexicans have been killed.
I hold you, sir, responsible for the acts
of your men. I will not bo disgraced,
nor shall the army of my country be, by
such outrages. I require you, sir, to say
whether my information is correct, and
if so, yon will render me a satisfactory
explanation.' 'Yonr information,' replied
Colonel Hays, 'is correct, General.
The Texas "Rangers are not in the
habit of being insulted without resenting
it. They did kill two Mexicans as I en
tered the city, and I, sir, am willing to be
held responsible for it.' The manner in
which this was said, and the whole bear
ing and deportment of Colonel Hays was
so sincere, frank and manly, that none
could have doubted his own belief that
his men had done right. The General's
wrath began to abate, and desiring the
Colonel to be seated, he requested a full
statement of the facts. They were de
tailed to him." Washington ledtic.

An Infallible Remedy.
If there is one thing more than another
that annoys a good wife, who is nervously
sensitive to all that is gross and ill-timed,
it is the habit some husbands have of
nsing profane language in their home.
In many coses it is mere thoughtless
ness on the part of the good man, who
never gives a thought to the better
half; even should she mildy remon
strate, he pays no attention to the re
buke. A lady whose husband was addicted
tho batlfpracticeto we have alluded to4
came to her family physician, laid her
grievances before him, and said.
"Now, Dr. N .won't you remon
strate with him, and try to break him
of his habit? I know he will listen to
you."
"Why, madam," said the doctor he
would pay no attention to any thing I
could say to him, although, somewhat
out of my line, I will recommend a
prescription to be administered by you
that will certainly cure him. It is an
infallible remody."
"Oh, what is it, doctor'"
"Well, when Jones comes home
again and swears, do yon swear back
at him, Of course, I don't want to
take the name of the Lord in vain,
but, d n things a little for his bene
fit." And she did.
The next day John came in and in
quired whether dinner was ready and
was told it was not.
"Well, why in the devil isn't it?" he
asked.
"Because," she replied, "the wood
was so d d wet the fire wouldn t
burn."
"Why, Mary, what is the matter with
you? Are you crazy or have you been
drinking.
neither, she said, and quietly pro
ceed to put on the dinner.
Reef didn t melt like butter between
his teeth it rather resisted all efforts
at mastication, like so much India
rubber, and finally John blurted out:
"What makes this d d beef so in
fernal tough?"
Mary looked up archly and re
plied:
well, John. 1 suppose you went
down to the butcher's, and without
knowing the difference, picked out a
piece of some d d old stag that hadn't
been fed for a month."
John jumped up, looked at his wife
in dismay, and wanted to know what
snch language from her lips meant
It means just this. John: vou are
the head of the family, and just as
long as you think it manly to swear in
my presence, I intend to do the same.
If you don't like to hear it, you know
how to prevent it."
lhe cure was radical, and to this
date Mary has never been compelled to
administer another dose of Dr. N 's
prescription.

The San Antonio correspondent of the
Galveston Xeut tells the fallowing story
or a wonderful surgical operation recently
performed In the former city. Dr. F.
Hcrff has long been a resident of San
Antonio, and is justly considered ono of
tbe best physiciansand surgeons in Texas.
San Antonio contains a wonder, the
like' of which cannot be found in the
United States. It is nothing more nor
less than a child, seven years old, that,
instead of masticating and swallowing its
food in the usual manner, is fed through
an aperture in the stomach made for that
purpose. The child is gaining strength,
can walk and plsy, aud bids fair to soon
be as stout and healthy as- any other
child, uo saiuruay last l determined to
go and see tbe child for myself. Tbe facts
are as follows:
About two years ago Mr. S. T. Lumley,
at that time living in Pennsylvania, had
tbe misfortune to have his little daughter
iesie unua a nuiuuon oi lye, wnicU a
negro woman bad carelessly- left on the
table. A large quantity of the corrosive
liquid was swallowed. Death is the cer
tain result in such cases. There have
been quite a number of cases in San An
tonio, where children drank concentrated
lye, and none have survived except in
this instance. Tbe lye destroyed the
mucous membrane, aud a stricture of the
esophagus is formed, which means that
the throat, or, at least, tbe channel
through which the food goes into tbe
stomach, is drawn together or contracted
to such a degree that only liquids, and
not much of them can pass through. If
the child does not die at once, it lingers
for a year or so, and then goes into a con
sumptive condition and perishes of slow
starvation. It is impossible for a human
being to live exclusively on liquid nour
ishment; but where concentrated lye has
been taken there are times, particularly
in cold damp weather, when the sufferer
cannot even swallow milk.. All attempts
to open the closed up esophagus are fa
tile, hence the sufferer slowly starves to
death.
Such was the condition of the little
girl, Jessie Lumley, when she was brought
to San Antonio for treatment Tbe child
was very much emaciated, and could not
swallow even liquid food for days at a
time. As it was the only possible 'chance
she had for lile, her parents consented
that the operation of making an opening
in the stomach should be attempted. The
operation has been performed in Eng
land, but this is believed to be the first
time it has ever been attempted in the
United States. Your correspondent cau
not give the technical terms, but can
niak the modu operandi intelligible to tbe
general reader. An incision four inches
long was made a few inches to the left of
the pit of the stomach, at the beginning
of the short ribs, ranch stitching being
required. Tbroneh this incision the
stomach is reached. The next part of the
operation requires the most delicate
handling Imaginable. It consists in sew
ing the stomach to the walls of the abdo
men, but the greatest care has to lie taken
not to penetrate the stomach itself. Tbe
needle and stitches onlv nenetrate thn
skin of the stomach. The result is that
the stomach, as tbe wound eraduallv
heals, grows to tbe walls of the abdomen.
The patient was put under the, influ
ence of chloroform, and the operation
successfully performed by Dr. F. HerfJ,
Hssmieu oy nis son, ur. jonn rterff, and
Dr. Amos Graves, all of this city. Unfor
tunately the child had an attack of the
chills and fever, which had to be cured,
which gave it a set back. The operation
described took place three weeks ago.
The stomach had grown on to the sides
of the abdomen, aud eight days ago the
final operation of making a small incision
into the stomach, tbr.iugb which the food
was to pass, was performed, and twice a
day dunng the past week a beefsteak, cut
np fine, has been passed with the forceps
into tbe stomach, and the child is steadily
gaining strength.
On Saturday last I vwited the child, in
company with Dr. Herfl, and saw it fed.
We halted in front of a one storv house,
which we entered. A little girl with light
hair and blue eyes, was sitting up in bed,
surronnded by playthings. Her mother,
a young woman of about thirty years of
age, was busy in the room.
'Don't you want your supper, Jessie?"
said the doctor,
"1 want steak. I don't want any bread,
'cos it hurts," said the little girl, whose
thin features and pale complexion showed
the result of her long fast
The mother orought in a rare beef
steak, which the doctor proceeded to cut
up in small pieces, crumbling up some
bread at the same time. The food being
prepared, the child lay back on the bed
and the opening in the side was exposed.
It was only art inch in length, and pre
sented the appearance of a badly healed
cut. It was a liule inflamed. I stood bv
and saw the doctor take one piece afteY
another and carefully introduce it with
the forceps into tho stomach, nntil the
plate was nearly empty. The child com
plained a little at times, but did not ap
pear to suffer any. She finally said, "My
stomach is full," and as there was no more
steak, the doctor desisted. Finally some
cotton was placed in the opening, a band
age put on, and she sat up and was soon
fondling her playthings.
The following additional facts may be
of interest to the medical friternity and
others interested. No particle of solid
food has passed through the child's throat
Bince the accident A grain of rice nearly
Htrandles her. Milk is also injected into
the stomach through the opening. The
only possible danger is from the woond
closing np, hence it is kept open with
cotton. At first a plug of expansive cot
ton was used. There is no reason why
the child should not become stent and
healthy. The food digests readily, just
the same as if chewed and swallowed.
To the inquiry if this mode of takine
nourishment would have to be kept np
through life, no definite answer was
given, as it depends on the possibility of
reducing the stricture of tbe throat Dr.
Herd" proposes to have, as soon as the
opening heals np completely, an instru
ment introduced into the stomach.
Heredity is Chime. An account was
recently published of a Jukes family in
New York State, which, beginning with a
vagrant woman nearly one nuuared years
sgo, has supplied a vast number of crimi
nais of every degree of guilt to the jails
and prisons. Another instance of bered
ity in crime has just come to light in
New Bedford, Mass. Charles Phillips, a
young man of eighteen vears, and crip
pled in the right arm, has been convicted
of burglary. He is a great grandson of
Mai bone Brtggs, who was in tbe btate
prison at one time with seven of his sons.
For more than 100 years this branch of
the Briggs family has furnished in every
generation criminals whose names may
be fonnd on the court records aud tbe
rolls of penitentiary institiuious. The
ancestory of Mai bo us Brigg can be
traced back in a direct line to a noted
pirafe in the time ot Earl Relamont

. ' HIS POLYFOBM.
This great inventor's Industry and
versitility of genius is strikingly exhib
ited in bis polyform, a preparation by
which he is enabled to. bid defiance to
sick headaches, neuralgia and other ner
vous diseases, and to make himself largely
independent of physicians in times of
ailment The polyform grew out of
necessity. Being considerably afflicted
with neuralgia, and obtaining no relief
trom his physician, Edison set ont to be
come bis own doctor, ms enemies! lab
oratory, one of the mist complete in the)
United States, furnished him an ample
field from which to draw. Experiment
followed experiment, the inventor be
coming more determined in proportion as
bis nepralgia grew more painful. At last
he obtained a combination of chemicals, a
slight application of which to the facet
immediately relieved his pain. Gratified
at his success, but hardly yet convinced,
he tried the application on others simi
larly affected, and with equally satisfac
tory results. About this time there hap
pened to stroll into the laboratory one
day a tramp on his periodical begging ex

tramp was a particularly anfortonate one.

legs was swollen with rheumatism,
neuralgia coursed along his face, and a,
dozen or more sores and bruises mada
him a veritable Jobv Edison saw in hint
a most excellent subject for farther poly
form esperiments- A hearty meal and a
little cash readily procured the tramp's
consent, and soon the inventor was sub
jecting his new acquaintance to all aorta
or chemical experiments, ror more man
a week the tramp found food and lodgiug
in Mel no Park, giving in return a few
hours of his time every night to be ex
perimented a poo. By the time bis en
gagement was over his rheumatism and
neuralpa bad disappeared and his sores
were well-nigh healed. The news of the
tramp's good fortune soon spread, and
now it is no oncoratnon thing for aeis;,i

from miles around to request a htue poly
