INrEREsTINe CASE OF TRANSMISSION. -
This operation, says an English paper, has
been successfully performed by Mr.. Wheat
croft, surgeon, of Cannock, on the person
of woman named Wood, residing there.
Immediately after her accouchment, fearful
hemmorrhage set in, draining the woman
Of blood. She felt herself dying, and sum
moned her husband TO her bedside, bid him
''good bye," and earnestly requested him
to take care of the children when she
was no more. She then became pulseless
and gasping, occasional breating being the
only indication Of life. A vein was opened
in her arm, and one in the arm Of her hus-
band, and as the blood flowed from the lat
ter it was transmitted BY suitable apparatus
into the veins Of the wife. After seventeen
ounces had been thus elected, the pulse be-
came perceptibls, the colorless lips reddsn-
ed, the CLASSY eye Frightened, and she
thankfully ssid,i'I am better" The case
has progressed very favorably, and the wo-
man is recovering. Death was here literal.
ly robbed Of his victim.

The Miseries and Effects of Intemperance.

The following is the most graphic define
alton of the miseries and effects of intemper-
ance that we have ever seen. 1t is from the
arguments advanced by certain citizens Of
Portage county, Ohio, in a memorial to the
Legislature on the subject:
"And yet its march of ruin is onward still!
1t reaches abroad to others, invade, the fam
lily and social circles, and spreads woe and
sorrow all arc Ind. 1t cuts down youth in
its vigor, manhood in its strength, and age
in its weakness. 1t breaks the fathers heart,
bereaves the doating mother, extinguishes
natural affection, erases conjugal love, blots
out flial attachment, blights parental hope,
and brings down mourning age in sorrow to
the grave. 1t produces weakness, not
strength; sickness, not health; death, not
life 1t makes wives widows, children or
phans, fathers fiends, and all ST them paul
pers and beggars. 1t halls fevers, feeds
rheumatism, nurses gout, welcomes epidem-
les, invites cholera, imparts pestilence, and
embraces consumption. 1t covers the land
with idleness, poverty, disease, and crime.
1t fills your jails, supplies your aims houses,
and demands your asylums. 1t engenders
controversies. fosters quarrels, and cherish
es riots. 1t contemns law, spurns order,
and loves mobs. 1t crowds your penten-
tiaries, and furnishes tn: victims for your
scaffolds. 1t is the ile-blood of the gam
bier, the aliment of the counterfeiter, the
prop of the highwayman, and the support Of
the midnight incendary. 1t countenances
the liar, respects the thief, and esteems the
bias phemer. 1t violates obligation, rever-
ences fraud, and honors, infamy. 1t delames
benevoence, hates love, scorns virtue, and
SANDERS innocence. Itincites the father 10
butcher his wife, and aids the child to grind
his parrcidal axe. 1t burns up man, con-
sumes woman, detests life, curses God, and
despises Heaven. 1t suborns witnesses,
nurses perjury, deGles the jury box, and
stains the judicial ermine. 1t brbes votes,
disquaifies voters, corrupts elections, pol.
!utes our institutions, and endangers our
government. 1t degrades the citizen, de-
bases the legislator, dishonors the statesman,
and disarms the patriot. 1t brings shame,
not honor; terror, not safety; despair, not
hope; misery, not happiness. And now, as
with the malevolence of fend, it calmly
surveys its frightIul dcsolation, and, insati-
ate with havoc, it poisons felicity, kills
peace, ruins morals, blights confidence, Stays
the reputation, and wipes out national hon
or, then curses the world, and laughs at its
ruin"

Stewards Democracy.

The Catholic, Anti. Benton Leader, says:
"Will the Benton party, those { we mean
who are really democrats, but who have
been separated from their brethren on &C.
count Of friendship for one mar, who have
bitterly opposed, from the start, the princi-
pies Of the know-nothing order, will they
be caught voting for The worst kind of u
know-nothing against a democrat3 We o.
pine not; we know not.
Upon which the Democrat, Benton, com
ments as follows:-
ave must confess to certain admra-
tion Of the impudencc Of this passage, if
nothing else. The Leader asks, will the
Benton party vote against Stewart-"a-
gainSt demooratW And, when, pray,
did Stewart become democrat? Can the
wandering Jew, even with his long memo
ry, tell ns2 Was il when lie voted Tor the
Jackson resolutions, in l849? Was it when
he voted for Geyer, in 1851? Was it when
he villified every Benton man in the state as
an sbolitionist, in 1858? Was it when he
went into the know w-nothing order, in 1866;
or when he recanted from that order in
1857? Was it when he deserted and Join.
ed the Americans? Was il when he proved
refractory 10 his own friends and legged
for the Hannibal road in the legislature, or
was il when lie proved ungrsteiul to his
own state and sold that road TO spectators
in Boston? Did he turn democrat when
he proved false 10 the internal improvement
party of Missouri on the railroad bills two
years ago, or did he become such when he
framed clause for one of those bills last
year that might have given his road a mil
lion that no one dreamed OF voting TO it?-
Was il before he came from the east 10 Mis-
sour, gor after he left Missouri for the east?
Haey cnlighen us, Mr.. Leader, upon this
matter. Tell us when Mr.. Stewart ever
was democrat-or ever cast democratic
vote-or ever acted for day with the dem
ocratic party. Ii you cannot give the de-
sired information yourself, at least go and
get it from Mr.. Stewart in person. Should
he be unable 10 comply, he can probably, at
all events, give the hour and the day in
which he left the know nothing lodge, and
even that would be some relief. He is
here in the city now, so do not lose the op-
portunity. He reached St. Louis on yes
terday- direct from Boston.

The snbjoined statement is made by the
corresp spondent of Bristol paper "Select-

er's shop in Bristol few years ago, saw
some prayer books having looklng-glass
inserted in the inner side Of the cover. |
have no doubt that the fair owner might be
enabled to arrange her hair and admire her
self during the service" This device the
writer stigmatises as vanity almost pro-
fame, but perhaps the prolaneness lies mere
ly at the door of some enerprising book
seller. There is, moreover, something to
be said for looking glasses in ladies' prayer
books. 1t is little better to contemplate
the reflections of ones own face at church,
than to be looking about at the aerlity Of
other faces. Besides, a young lady may
sometimes even make better use of her
eyes by employing them in the looking glass
than by keeping them fixed on the parson.
The former direction is generally preGera-
BILE TO the latter, when the reverend gentle
man is divine of the class commonly call
ed pet. BY the way, we should like 10
know whether looking glasses in the inside
of religious manuals is o vanity peculiar to
fair devotees. May not the like vanity be,
in some instances, INDUCED in on the other
side-on the side of the recipients of GER
tain tributary slippers and other like offer
ings of fashionable devotion? If all manu-
script or lithqgraph volumes could be over
hauled, it is highly probable that not few
looking glasses would be found within the
covers Of pet parsons sermon-b books.

Destructive Effects Of the Frost.

Destructive Effects Of The Frost.
CoTToN PLANT, Rusk Co., April 8, 81.
Editors Delta: take the liberty of in
forming you that, on the night of the 9th
inst, we had the most destructive frost that
| have ever witnessed, which, from all that
can learn, extended to the Trinity and
down to the Gulf Coast. Vegetation was
far advanced for the season; the forests were
generally in full leaf, peaches half grown,
the wheat heading out-all killed dead. A
large crop of wheat was seeded in Eastern
Texas, which was very promising; the farm
ers are moving it for their stock, hoping
that it may put up again and make half a
crop. The fact is that there is not living
thing above the earths surface that we have
planted this season, We had good stand
of cotton-the corn on many farms several
inches high. The loss of the cotton will
be severely felt, as prices are very encour-
aging, and every nerve was being stroined
10 make big crop. Seed is very scarce,
and if the cut worm should injure the next
stand of cotton, as they have the corn, the
crop must be short in this region.
Respectfully yours, J.G,B.

WrsTrR Wharf.-The Dubuque Tri5um
says that the winter wheat was never in be-
ter condition or held forth better prospects,
in the northern part of the State, than at the
present time. This is owing to the fact that
the heavy SHOWS, which laid on the ground
during the entire winter, protected the
wheat from the thaws and freexes, AMI the
drouth and winds, which have destroyed it
in the southern part of the State.

A New YORKER ARRESTED ON SusPI-
cIoN OF BEING AN ABoLIrIorsT.-A man
named Mcllwee, from the State of New
YORK, was arrested on Sunday night week,
at Lynchburg, Va, on suspicion of being
an abolitionist. He had been staying at the
Hopkins Hotel for near three months, os-
tensibly engaged in no business whatever.
During his Temporary absence on Saturday,
his trunk was opened and "letters of an in
cendiary character and grossly delamatory''
were found in it. The Lynchburg Vrgini-
an says of him: "On the night of his arrest
he had returned to the Hotel, entirely un-
conscious of the evidence that had accumu-
lated against him in his brief absence. He
was promptly apprehended and placed in
Jail for trial, which will occur on Thursday
next. The matter will be thoroughly invest
igated, and his temerity meet its just re.
ward. We would warn the people of the
country against all strolling Yankee pedIars,
and other suspicious characters, no matter
from where they hail"

A Religion for Man EVERYWHERE.

Christianity, like the Sabbath, is perfect
ly adapted TO the nature, relations and des.
TIMES of man everywhere. 1t is religion
that MAJ never grow old. Olher religions
become sickly exotics when you transplant
them from their birth h-place; change Of eli
mate is fatal to their constitution. Chris
tianity roots in every soil; it fourishes in
every climate. You cannot plant Moham-
mechanism in China or Csnfucianism in Tur-
key. The subtle system Of Hindooism will
not do for the untutored mind of the African.
But, thank God, Christianity is alike adapt
ed 10 them all. Other systems are content
to slumber within their own territory; they
make no attempt 10 acquire dominion over
tnat which is proper sphere Of religion,
The kingdom of mind; Christianity aims at
and avows its intention Of completing the
conquest Of the world. In distant parts Of
the earth its banner is now waving. of hope
to the nations; and still its watchword is,
Farther, still farther! Onward, while there
is a spot of earth unexplored, or a child OF
man unconverted." Other religions, after
they exist for century or two, give signs
of nanition and feebleness; the frailty Of
age is upon them; whereas, the strength of
Christianity grows with its years; it is not
subject to the wasting influence of time; age
brings with it no feebleness; centuries, aye,
centuries of centuries, write no wrinkles or
its brow. 1t is eighteen hundred years old,
and the dew of its youth is still upon it.

War Among the Democracy of Virginia -
The Fight Between Hunter and Wise


The Fight Between Hunter and Wise
for the U. s. Senate.
The Richmond, Va, correspondent OF
the New Orleans Della, writing on the 3lst
March, says:
BY far the most dangerous and embar-
RAISING issue is that involved in the ques-
tion, Who shall be the next United States
Senator-Wise or Hunter? The next
Legislature will have the decision of this
question, and 10 secure the election of ma
jority favorable to one or the other, is now
the great effort Of their respective friends.
Nothing can exceed the zeal manifested by
both factions 10 accomplish their purposes,
While they are cautious to avoid any eXhi-
btion of feeling which might indicate even
a semblance Of division in their ranks, they
me, nevertheless, pursuing their efforts in
a private practical way, and with admira-
BILE effect on the side of Wise. The signs
OF activity are most visible in the meetings
TO appoint delegates to the nominating con-
ventions and in the conventions themselves.
The nomination cnce made, party usage de-
mands acquiescence on the part of all other
competitors, so that the stage when exer-
tion is most needed and most available, is
in the preliminary.
30 far as the nominations have been
made, Wise has pre-eminently the advan-
tage, the preferences of a great majority of
the nominees being known to be for him.
From his present popularity in Virginia, I
have not the least doubt of his success. A
majority Of his friends being in the Legis-
lature, he will of course receive the nominu-
tion, and that is tontamount to an election,
the Legislature being largely Democratic.
