All thl cauaad him to logo flesh rapidly and Icl him 'in a state of great weakness ani plifD leal exhaustion. On March 4 the symptoms became a aggravated that a consultation was heli toy a nnmbor of local physicians , and Di Edgar Hold on , p throat specialist , mad a minute examination that was attendo with great difficulty. The base of th tongno , the tonsils and larynz iroro In tonioly inflamed , and after the laryngot oopo was pat In a proper position In th throat the Httlo mirror reflected n tumb or papllloma attached to the right tide o the vocal chord , jnst above the trn chord. It had grown to such an exten as to hide the chorda from view , and a every Inspiration a portion of the tumo waa drawn Into the windpipe and prc rented the proper amount of air from on taring the lungs. The patien . waa greatly depressed in splrite n conld not sloop , and had a con ny slant sensation of suffocation. Ho be Herod that ho had a malignant cancai which added to his mental depression Dr. Holdon diagnosed the case as papll loma , which had not a yet become me llguant. An operation was advised , an Dr. English waa put nnder proparator treatment until March 10 , thelimosotfc the removal of thetumor. OnTnesday Di English , knowing the dangerous natur of the casa and the chance of a fatal re suit , calmly went through his papers an manuscripts and directed wbat diaposi tion should bo made of them. Ho WE thus engaged wbon Dr. Ho den and Ills assistant ) , Drs. Smitl Young and Southard , came to his house Dr. English greeted tliomjcordlallyan after making his final testamentar arrangements sat up in his chair an said that ha wan ready. H : heart was 3 so weak that ho w ; considered dangerous to admlnlstc ether , and cocaine was distributed free ! , over the mucous membranes in the mout DOhe and throat. After waiting until th lho antithetic had achanca to take eflool the mouth was opened and was found t id St bo In a normal condition. Repeated aj It. , plications of cocaine were made wlthou produclng-tho desired anesthetic ; final ! the patient said that it produced an irrl tatlon worse than the diacaso Itself , an Its 1133 was abandoned. A two per cenl solution of cocalno was used , and It failure in this caap is considered myatcri oua by the attending phyeicians. It wa then decided to perform the operatloi without any further attempts to indue local insensibility , aa tha patient was be coming weak and irritable. Ono of the assistants seized tbo pa tiont's tongue , which had been placoi between layers of a towel , and drew I out of the mouth as fir as possible The operating surgeon then placei a laryngoecopa In the throat , preat ing it as far backward as pos slblo so that a good view of the tumo waa obtained. A pair of forceps special ! adapted to the conformation of the mout nnd larynz was then carefully Introduce into the month , care being shown not t touch the tisane. The forceps bad bard ) , got into the larynx when the thro it be came the scat of a violent spasmodic ac tion , which clotod It entirely , and th muscles were contracted to anch an oxten that they held the forceps so that the ; could neither bo pushed In nor taken out The patient waa in the act of sulToation hla face turned bluish black , and h struggled violently to break the parox yam. Juet aa the operating turgooi ached a knlfo and was about to split th trachea below the point of attack , th muscles relaxed and the patient enterei Into a temporary state of col apao. Precautions were taken before th operation began to guard against aufloca tton from temporary spasms , and i tracheotomy tuba had been provided An aaalstant waa Initrncted , if th spasms could not ba broken within a cer tain number of icconda to ham a knife and the tube of the surgeon , who to sivo the patient's life , mast within i mtnnte open the trachea , stop the hemorrhage rhage and insert the tube. The chancci of saving the patient's life when this par of the operation became neceesary won small indeed. 11 After the patient bad recovered fron the shook of the spasm , being told tha the danger of the operation was greatlj Increased , he told the surgeons to "fin away ; he would rather bo suffocated In i second than pats another night like thi latt. " Tlmo and again the forceps won Introduced In the throat , and the opera : tion was followed immediately by apis modlo contractions and no pto reis coulc be nude toward getting at the tumor , The patients .strength was ftst failing , bat his courage never faltered. When I the surgeon hesitated ha motioned him to go ahead , and he would endeavoi to control the spasm by force ol will , He had great trouble tc breaths , and had to fight constantly tc prevent .suffocation. Once the forceps took hold of the tumor , but the throat closed and hid the tumor from view , and It was not doomed adviiablo to remove it then because of the danger of Injuring urrounding tUuie. Finally the patient made a superhu man effort , and as tbo forceps wera In- taitod In tha throat ho controlled the re- urn of the spasm long enough to enable ho inrgeon to gjt ono good view of the F.rln the Fofcopj had taken , and In a second end more lho t mrr Inv1 totn IOOBB ftom tho-flosh and tak en out. It mcaturod p n inch la Wngth oy five-eighths of an Inch iniwtaift a 'ronmkibly Urge p pUloma , J-no hemo'.th a0 that followed was easily co'jUollf.d , nnd the patient was put to " ed a".or lufforing Uio most horrible tor- ' wro 'for two hours.

GOODMAN , Wholesale Agent , A DAGUEUKEOTYPE OP GllANX. lho General ns Ho Appeared nt tlio Ago or Twenty-two. Philadelphia Free ? , March II. George W. Ohllds will forward to-day to the address of Gon. Grnnt , In Now York , a timo-worn daguerreotype In on old-fashioned case. It la a picture of the here of Appomattox as ho looked when a young man 22 years old. There is Httlo in the boyish face that is suggestive of the general of the union armies and pres ident of the United States. It is the smooth face of a boy with the bloom of health noon his check and the marks of a vigorous constitution in every outline of his sturdy frame. Ho was a newly fledged lieutenant then , fresh from tbo training of West Point , and the young soldier appears m the uni form and f epaulets worn by regular army lieutenants of 40 years ago. Though the face Is beardless and Imma ture , a careful observer notes at first glance the firm mouth and stubborn jaw of the soldier who swore "to fight it out on that lino" if It took all summer. It Is Grant , the boy , but it Is just enough Hko .t Grant , the conqueror , to Illustrate the adage that "tho boy is father of thoman. " Mr. Chllds has taken the portrait from among his store of treasures , that an en graving may bo made from It to Illustrate a page In the memoirs of Gon. Grant , the book npon which the shattered here is expending the last painful labors of his eventful life. The history of tha daguerreotype and how It came Into Mr. Ghilds' possession Is interesting. In 1844 Lieut. Grant waa stationed with his regiment in Texas. Among his best friends at that tlmo waa Mrs. G. B. fiaileyof Georgetown , Brown county , Ohio , the mother of his most in timate associate and comrade-in-arms , Lieut. Bailey. Granthad often visted the pleasant homo of Mrs. Bailey , and came to look upon her almost as a second mother. To her ho sent the little daguerreotype that she might know how well be looked In his newly won regimen tals. In a letter written from camp in 1844 the young lieutenant describes to Mrs. Bailey , with all the exuberance of youthful pride , his novel experiences in camp and on march. The hand writing bears little resemblance to ] the scrawling chlrography that appears iaGrant's gener al orders to the aimy and his meseagos to congress In later years. Ho subscribes himself : "Yours affectionately , Lieut. U. S. Grant , United States army , " and then , with characteristic modesty , ho ap pends a postscript in which ho explains that ho does not a flux his military title from any feeling ef tmduo pride , but simply that his old friend may , by thus addressing him , bo morocgitain that her letters will roach their remote destination promptly. Mrs. Bailey kept tin jount ; llouton- ant'a letters and cherished his portrait long after ho bad conquered the confed eracy and become chlct magistrate of the nation. At her death the portrait and letters passed into tbo hands of her daughtar , Mrs. Luclnda Powers , of Georgetown. Some tlmo ago Mrs Powers forwarded the daguerrotypo to Mra. Ohllds , accompanied by a letter , In which she oxplaina that she knows Mr , Chllds will valua it , and exprossaa tbo hope that ho may have a portrait painted from the o'.d likeness befora it has be come obliterated by the fading process of tlmo. Being a stranger to Mr. Ohllds , Mrs. Powers also inclosed as her voucher ] ono of the tlmo-ttainod letters written by Gen. Grant to b r mother In 1844 , and another written by the president from the executive mansion In 1874 , In which ho expressed in the warmest terms his unchanged regard for his Georgetown friends , and said ho looked forward with pleasure to the time when he might bo at liberty to visit thorn again In the scones , so familiar to his boyhood. Gon. Grant never knew that the old daguerreotype had passed Into the hands of his friend , Mr. Chlldo , and a week ago , when recalling the portraits of bis earlier days with a view of securing the best possible likeness with which to Illus trate his book , ho remembered the old daguerreotype tent to Mrs. Bailey 40 years ago. Under date of March G Col. Fred Grant wrote to MM. Powers re questing tbo loan of the llkenees aa the moat aocnrate portrait now extant of his t father aa ho appeared when a young man. Mia. Powers forwarded Ool. Fred Grant's letter to Mr. Obilds , and the publisher of the Ledger , as ho chatted yesterday about the-valued treasure , was carefully wrap pine In papar preparatory to Ita shipment to Now York to day. All the correspon dence npon tke subject , Including Grant's autograph letters to Mrs. Salley In 1844 and 1874 , h itill in Mr. Child's posses aion , and among the relics that he values most highly in hla interesting collection of souvenirs.

Great Smokers Whom Actor \YHIlftiii J , Florence Hns Known. "Now , your Turk smokes and drinks coffee , the ono an antidote for the other , " said Capt. Cnttlo as ho entered his dressIng - Ing room to don the ovrrr day habllmcnts of William J. Florence. Several gentlemen had been discussing the public Idea that Gon. Grant's mortal Illness was duo to oxcostivo Indulgence In tobacco. Mr. Florence was asked what ho know about the habits of actora In this respect , "Edwin Booth , " said ho , "la an invet erate plpc-smokcr. I saw him dur'ng ' the war with a pipe , which ho still uses , a heavy meerschaum , which was his con stant companion , lie often smokes in the morning whllo dressing , and prefers fruits and ilowcrs. John McCnllough smokes cigars , mild ones , and perhaps too many. Do smokes a cigar the firat thing in the morning , and always a good ono. Poor Ned Sothcrn would got rid of a hundred cigars a week. Ho always shoved ono on a visitor , withjbrindy and water sometimes , and filled his own over coat pockets when ho wont ont. Ho was a fearful smoker , always had ono in his mouth , burning It half way and then lighting a fresh weed. Ho and 1 Import ed our own clgws from the llaphaol Diaz plantation in Cuba at a cost of $220 n thousand. The plantation seems to have given out now. For my part I llko a Colorado or n Colorado clara , ' 'Larry Barrett smokes a mild clear. Sheridan smokes , too ; he's boon a soldier captain In the Sixth Ohio. Nat Good win smokes , and so does Crane , but I dent know about Ilobsou. John E Owens likes a good cigar , and so docs Frank Mayo. 'Shed' Shook Is a great smoker. Barney Mcluley is a smoker , and Harry Edwards utcs strong cigars Incessantly. Salvlnl smokes long , black cigars with a straw through 'orn the kind yon got In Italy. They light their wood in that country on a small iron frame oror a lamp. The end of the weed rests In the fiamo and burns a third of the way down , tha boat drawing out the nicotine. King Humburt smokes in this way. John Mackay smokes cigars costIng - Ing from SO to 50 conta apiece and gets a * ay with a great many. Bonclcault is a great smoker. I've smoked a cigar of his that was fourteen years old. "An Englishman always likes n dry cigar. They import them in largo zinc- lined dies's. There's the Dako of Bean- fort , for Instance ; ho gets just the same number of cigars each year. Ho never begins till after dinner , however , when ho starts with a cigarette or a mild cigar , and then smokes lour or five cigars , top- p'ng ' off with the strongest. Bonclcault has an air-tight closet , built cxprcesly for his cigars. "Tho Prince of Wales smokes cigar * , beginning generally with a cigarette. The Dako of Manchester comes in the same category. Lord Aylosford was a great smoker. Lord Mat do pill o naos two or three packages of cigarettes a day. They say Gladstone smokes a pipe , but I didn't ECO him do It when 1 was at Hawarden. Tennyson smokca a pipe , and may bo seen lounging about his gronnds any time , with a 'curty' between his teeth. The Marquis of Hartlngton hold up his end of the Liberal Ministry by smoking good cigars. Henry Irving smokes clgara , and a good many. Ootil dock smokes a pipe. "All fishermen smoke , generally plpc3. I think a pipe's the nicest thing in the woods or In a canoe a good , clean briarwood - wood , with Lone Jack mixed with one- third Us quantity of Poriquo. It's an in dication of a good stomach to bo able to smoke before breakfast. Southern used to smoke while ho was dressing and rid ing across country to hounds. Gentle men often do this In England , some using cigar j and others the short vest pocket pipe. Southern was very fond of hunt ing and at one time kept eight hunters himself. "Good siilora all smoke a ? a ruin. A man who smokes at sea generally keeps i quiet stomach. "Theatrical managers emoko general ly , I think , though I believe Lester Wallack does not. John T. Ilaymond doesn't use tobacco at all. Bartlny Campbell never smokes. Actors don't chow generally. It's a nasty prustlco. I don't think many of them smoke cigarettes , either that is , not good actor ? , although John Slospcr Clark Is among the exceptions. " "What nbout other public mon ? " "Tom Murphy , Gen. Grant's friend , always has a cigar In his mouth , gen. orally nnllghtcd , PreiWont Arthur smokes clgara , but never during ofiico or basiuesi hours. His favorlto Is the For- fecto. I have known every preeident einca Pierce except Garfield. They all , I believe , smoked cigara. I made Clove- land's acquaintance the night before his election , when Mrs. Florence and I were playing in Buffalo. President Lincoln would often slip into the corner of a box when Mrs. Florence and I were playing in Washington , roar with laughter for a while , and then co quietly out without people's knowing ho had been In the house. Tom Ochiltroo smokes like a house afire and smokes good cigars , too. I saw Tom nearly drowned once. Uncle Rufua Hatch andjl wore on his yatch , Resolute , off the Battery , waiting for Ochiltroo and Moj. Jack Wharton to come aboard. Tom fell overbcaid as they were coming out to us In a small boat , and In the confus ion both ho and Wharton were nearly drowned. When they got aboard Whar ton asked mo if I hoard the water slzz when Tom's head struck it. Poor Whar ton , ho was an A No. 1 fellow. "Gen. Singleton smokes a plpo , Henry Wattorson smokes his cigars so short they burn his mustache. Sunset Cox smokes cigars. Sam Ward was a smoker. " "How are journalists In this roapsct , so far aa you have notlcodl" "I think most newspaper men smoke pns in their own offices Stilson ntchlns doesn't smoke at all , however Iltmsdcll smokes B plpo , Neither Joe Howard nor Willy Winter smokes. James Gordon Bennett gmokos cigars and clgar- otsbotb , and n great deal , Mr. Dana looks like n man who Indulges in a qnlet plpo. Ho likes a good dinner , for I'vo sat at the table next to him. Mr , Hurlbert , formerly of the World , and Mr. liana are typical bon vivants. "I smoke a pipe always on the Ros- tlgoucho , Our salmon-fishing party con sisting of John G.

" InmilKrntlon i'roni the Old World , Chicago Times. "The oppressed of all lands" are still arriving in this country la goodly num bers , though not In so great numbers as j n more prosperous times , Toe number of passengers arriving at tho.prlticlpal ports during the month of February was 15,317. Of those arrivals , 2,007 vero citizens of the United States returned from abrcad nd 1,331 were aliens not Intending to remain in the country. The rest , numbering 11,010 , , were "oppressed" persons , seeking a permanent asylum In a land whera they can. help make proii dents and themselves bocpmo members ol congress and cabinet ministers and where they can twist the tiil of the British lion at a safe distance from the jaws of that carnivorous animal , and breathe thrcat- cntngs and slaughter npalnst capital will impunity so long as they contino themselves solves severely to moro talk. The nnmbor of these arrivals to stay was 4,881 less th m In February , 1884. but it was enough. It was at the rate of 141,000 a year. Wo can assimilate , 01 control if wo cannot aeslmilato , tha number moro easily than wo could th 780,000 that arrived during the Csca year 1882 , but It is not particularly do slrablo to try to assimilate a greater num bcr In any ono year.

Scoundrel ° Wlio Might Uavo Been n Prosperous Business Man , Louisville Courier-Journal , March 11. The city has-not lost much by the dc cislon of Judge Simrall in restoring to Mrs. Oopo Snapp the housa which her husband deeded to the city. The prop erty was sold under an order of conr over a year ago , and the money paid Into the hands of a receiver. Nearly all was absorbed by the lien holders. Snapp owed for tha lot and there were two or three mechanics' liens on the building , When these wore settled off'as had to bi done by law , only § 1,200 or $1GOO vra left , and this Is what is riotv to ba paid back to Mrj. Snapp. The action of the court has revived th gossip In the city hall about Snapp , Although ho had boon there for so many years no ono was prepared for the knowl edge of his rascality , and it astonished all. Treading close upon the heels of the revelation of his guilt was something quite as astonishing. The dandified littl clerk , who was so particular about the fief of his gloves and the tie of Ills cravats and who was supposed never to hav thought about these weighty subjects , wa discovered to bo ono of the shrowdes and most daring of men. Neither hi head nor his nerves failed him. To th boundless surprise of tha invostigatin officials , they learned that ho was an ac countant of surprising swiftness and accn racy , and the possessor of a mcmor ; whoso quickness and retoutlvcness wen unrivaled. His nerves were strung on stool , and ho faced with unfiinchia calmness revelation after revelation of hi guilt. His Invention was as romarkabl as his audacity , and ho never once wavered < orod or lacked an explanation for h's po cnliar transactions. It made no dO'er- once that a later etory conflicted with an earlier. Ho stuck to the last with such r.igtclty and clear-headedness that not flaw could ba picked in the statements o : the moment. "Beyond doubt Cope Snapp was the shrewdest young scoundrel I over saw1' , raid a promlnout city hall official yester day , "Whon the Investigation was bo1 gem ho was not suspected , and was retained to assist Mr. Ingram It waa found that ho had every detail of the back tax collector's cflico at his lingers" ends. Ho was the best accountant ] over eaw , and could add np long columns of figures nlth marvelous quickness and accuracy. Ho could add four columns of figures at a glance , counting fron : cither bottom or top. The tax bills are very Intricately rondo out , but ho could make the summing up as fane as they were road out to htm. His audacity was no less remarkable. When his guilt was discovered ho was equal to the occasion , and prepared a statement which had every appearance of fairness , and which showed the city to bo in debt to Dave Ferguson to the amount of $75,000. It was learned that ho and his wife had been building that Third street house , which has einco caused so rrnch litigation. When this was done ho was called bcforo lho mayor and City Attorney Burnett , and taxed with Us poiscssicn. Ho denied It most emphatically , Baying that ho owned no such house and never had. After ward when on the witness stand this conversation was recalled , ho denied that it had over boon hold. "Copo had been in tbo offica several years , his father being the collector bo- toro Fnrgneon. The old man , It is gen erally supposed , resigned with the under standing that Ferguson was to bo his successor , and that ho was to appoint Bnapp. Many think ho began his specu lations under his father , and only con tinued his work nndor Ferguson. Every body was surprised at Cope-'a remarkable ability. I have been nnablo to account for this , as noao of his family were noticeable for talent on either sido. His capacity was of a very high order and with right principles ho could have been Invaluable. I am inclined to think that tbo position bo was in , and the constant dread ho had of discovery , sharpened hit wits to such BU extent , I am certain that his mathe matical attainments were far moro than most calif go professors have. " Everybody remembers how well Snapp went through bis trial ; how he was on tbo stand for lovoral days without mak ing a compromising statement in the face of the most searching crcsi-examlua- Lion ; how calmly ho received his sentence and ho was teen afterward liberated by the court of appeals. So ably did ha boar himself that Major Klnuey said Cope was the best witness ho over knew. It has been generally supposed that ho is | n Missouri , but he w s seen on the streets In this city a few days ago , and is doubtless hero yet. He was as trim and chipper and neatly dressed s ever. He will now probably sue the city for dam ages and get them. . - Free from Optatci , Kmdlc * mid J.'olsona. A PROMPT , SAFE , SURE OURE For Cough * , Core Throat , llonr cnr , Inflamm , CoM .
