THE TRANSFER of ONE hundred and 1 TORTT-FOJJJt .^ijche^ OP HUJfAN SKIN b?jbted TO have been SUCCESSFULLY made. Chicago, January 18. One of the most unique; sifgiea* operations on reconfc iras fierferised in this city to-day and one hundred, and thirty-two Kinghts Templar gare to the work! a notable example o fraternal k>ve and heroic sel t-saerrfice, made in order that a sick brother might be restored to.heahu. The Knights even suffered theloss of piece of cuticle which transferred to Sir Knight Joff^Skkerswu The cancer whicli bad attacked hisvthdjgb,] was removed sometime; agrv but sbr decp and wide an incision had to be made in the4 ??sh* iha?. natsre' was unequal to the'task of beaSag over) the gaping wound. ?. . The experiment was triexl of graft ing fife iMff of %ame oMh? lower animals, but it foiled. The surgeon in charge arrooisriccd to BkikersoH? anxious brethren that if hitman skin uldv be obtained k would ia" all probability save the patient's life and insure his complete recovery. The question was where to obtain suffi cient skin to cover 144 square inches of surface. The matter vas breaeh ed in the Commander?, and to a man the K?nghts o?ered to submit them selves to Vhe necessary operation. Those Selected by the surgeons have had tofgo through a sort of training,, being 'dieted, etc., for several days past - THE FIEST SACRinCE MADE. This morning each man took a bath and then-repaired to the Emergency Hospw^ wkere the operation was performed. ?yerything wa3 in readi ness^wfc??- tftey; arrived, and Sir Kmght Smith was led into the opera ting roofl? te cod tribut e^t be first patch to the 144 square inclues required. Dr^^tte^uj?g ba<j,,adm*B.steKj a quantity of oxide gas to the patient' on the operating table, enough to maker him- partly unconscious. Mr. Smith slipped off his coat and vest, rolled up the leftr sleeve of his shirt ami placed himself?t thc-mercy of the physicians. Two of them, with.brush and sponge, scrubbed the fle3Sor,*bdb?fecsurface of *hi& armr until it tingled to redness. Then they applied alcohol, to dissolve and wash away any' microbes or minute partible?.?- Dr. Barnauer then lifted a fold of the flexible skin, and with a delicate, dexterous movement sliced off a thin, papery strip about a hall inch wide and two inches long. Sir Knight Smith siniled, set his teeth together firmly and looked somewhat pale, but dki not make a sound. GRAFTED on THE patient. Dr. Bemaucr held the strip on his razor and reached it over to Dr. ?eoger, who seized it with a pair oi tweezers and m a moment had ap plied it to bare surface of the patient"" body and pressed it smoothly -down The raw spot on Mr. Smith's arm was dressed and bandaged and he wfesti away with .the parting assur ance that in ten days it would be al healed up wjthout a scar to show where it ha&oeea: Tee suiyects came rapidly and were handled with readiness by the expert attendants. A few were dismisset because of -advanced age or some physical disqualification, but a very large majority of the self-sacrificing Templars bared their_ arms to the bright blade.* nd gave a way a part of themsetv^sFifitfr commendable un concern.* thought to BE a success. ??rCD?&eTrsr^ no anaes thetic after the operation began, and was wide-awake most of the time. He watcji$? the'^?sy surroundings with a <S^r$e of interest," returned the salutations of many friends who entered, ami appeared to be in a confident and comfortable state of mind. He went tlifoagh* the^triaT more creditably than some of his fraternity brothers, as two of them fainted during the proceedings. ' ft is the hope and belief of the Knights that their afflicted brother will soon recover and take his place among them,- Dr. Fenger and the physieian3*huid ont much encourage ment. It will be ten days before the success or failure of the eyperiment will be known. If successful the place should be thoroughly healed over in thirty days. It is thought that the cancer is entirely removed, and it the grafted skin takes hold and grows Mr. Dickerson will soon be almost as well as ever.?Philadel phia Times. Thoroughbred Horses in Bat tle. "Wben I went into the war in 1861," said Senator Wade Hampton, "I took with oe three thoroughbred stallions rh*t were -worth a prince's ran arm. One wis as black as u'ghr, ooe was a dark chestnut and the other was a chest not st-rrej. You are perhaps aware that my father waa not only a noted importer of running horses, but a famoon breeder of the thoroughbred as well. I rode the black stallion at tb first Bnll Ran battle, where I command the ^Hampton legion, composed of infantry, cavalry and artillery. At the famoQs cavalry fight at Breudy Station with Pleasaoton in 1863 I rode the chestnut. He-was a hard horse to con trol in a charge, and he nearly carried me into the enemy's lines on that day twice. I rode the chestnut sorrel at the great cavalry fight in the rear of Meade'e army on the third day at Gettysburg, and came oear meeting the same fate as that 1 escaped from at Brandy Station a few weeks previous. "My experience with thoroughbreds is in time of war that they are safer horses to get away from (be enemy with than when you are going toward him, especially when on a gallop. But when it comes to endur ance oW thoroughbred will kill three cold-blooded horses in a campaign They will go further with less food, go faster, and show more courage in the face af danger. I have ridden the stallions I mentioned! into Federal batteries, and they never once flinched. All of them were wounded three or four times, but they pu il ad through."? St Jjonts Glohe-DctWfcrat. The Paper Industry. Three thousand millions of poonds is the estimated yearly production of pa per. The Uo?te4 Stales has 884 paper mills and l.lOf^paper machines ; Ger many 809 mills and 891 machines ; France 420 mills and 525 machines ; England 361 mills, 541 machines; Scotland 69 mills. 98 machines ; Ire land 13 mills, 13 machines; Russia 133 mills, 137 machines; and Austria 220 mi's, 270 machines. The Czar of Russia is doing all he can to'make hw"Tfe*pDfrsm odious and .intolerable. In addition to pa suing the despo ic policy .traditional with bis race, jb^is doing other things tbat ap pear to be gratuitously tyranical. His "treatment of the Jews is unnecessarily harsh and much more severe than any thing thai had been done toward them by any of his recent predecessors, and now be ia giving evidence of bis dislike for foreigners by ordering tlat all alien workmen employed by bis gpvernmeol : shall be clirscaarged and shall .leave the NeoaDtry. Tuts it'?i throw about 11 ;000 meB out of employment and subject them to g rest hardship. The horrors of Siberian exile have in no way abated, asd it would seem that the "protest of modem civilization against the govern mental barbarism of Russia bas the effect of aggravating its odious charac teristics. In the meantime Nihilism baa increased reason for plotting against the life of the unrelenting despot. For week back, chest paios, use a Dr J.
