It is one Of the commonest mistakes
Of life, and also one Of the most radical
sources OF evil, to wait FOR opportunities.
Many persons, while admitting the pau.
city Of their lives, and regretting that
they contribute 80 little to the general
stock Of happiness, or to their own i'm
provemcnt, attribute it TO their lack Of
opportunity. They are looking for some
marked event, or some grand opening.
hroughwhich they hope to deyelope
what is in them. and thus make potent
character which now, from lack OF
motive, is barren and unfruitfnl. The
waste Of life caused BY such mistaken
waiting Is incalculable. For the real
materials out Of which our characters
are forming. are the hourly occnrences

are the real opportunities Of life. These
we are continually embracing or neglec-
ting, and out Of them We are forming
character thatis fast consolidating into
the shape we give it, for good or for
evil Those Who are waiting for impor-
thnt events, grand issues aud marked

The best proofs Of noble character

operation, which consists in the actual
transfer Of the blood of one living body
4 into the veins Of another, has been re-
Gently performed in the Pennsylvania
Hospital, under the. following circum-
stances "a young smaBIin the upper part
of the city was wounded on the inner
surface OF the upper lip, BY tripping and
falling on the fragments of q pitcher
which be had been carrying in his hand
The wound continued to bleed for ten
days, after which time the patient was
sent TO the surgical wards Of the hospi-
tai, which were, at the time, under the
charge Of DR.. Il @. Morton. Several
remedies were then applied, and the ar
teries supplying the face were tied but
without success in controlling the flow
of blood. Recourse was next had to
cutting down TO the common carotid or
great artery OF the neck, and applying
ligature, SO as to obstruct entirely the
course Of the blood in it. This was done
on the 18th Of October last. The oozing
of blood still continued, but in lesssned
quantity. On the following day, or the
10th, the patient was in such state Of
extreme exhaustion from the long con-
tinued hemorrlage. that his death seem
ed to be imminent, and. as last re-
source, DR.. Morton resolved to try the
effect Of TRANSMISSION. We shall not pre-
tend to describe the apparatus used op
the occasion, or the details Of the opep-
alton. Let it suffice for us to say two
medical students barred their arms and
gave the blood required for the occasion.
Five ounces and d half Of their blood
were infused into the vein Of each arm
OF the patient, the marked good effects
OF which were evinced 10 FIVE minutes by
a rallying Of the pulse, and otherwise
reaction. There was no fur
ther discharge Of blood from the original
wound, and in ten days the patient was
able to walk in the ward, and rapidly
regained strength Whatever may be
the termination Of this case, regarded as
one Of q wound with complicated symp-
toms, there can be no question Of the
entire success Of the operation Of trans
fusion, and Of its saving life and resto-
ring the patient, for while at least, to
the exercise Of his ordinary functions"

The Milwaukee Wisconsin thus de-
scribes heavy financial transaction; )
Just after banking hours an elderly,
well dressed gentleman entered one Of
the city banks aud asked n they were
ready for business. Upon being told
that they were, the man proceeded very
leisurely, and in q business like manner,
to draw check. which he passed to the
paying teller. Upon looking at the sigma
ture the teller was somewhat surprised
TO find it that Of no less distinguish
ed person than q. Vanderbilt, and the
check was drawn for the very handsome
little sum Of Sl0,O00,000. The teller
looked at the man. who appeared very
much unconcerned, as il it were On ev-
cry day business with him to draw those
little checks "A second view satisfied
the teller that the man was insane, and
that be might be a dangerous customer
to deal with, for insane men are always
supposed to be. even il they are not.
The teller asked the gentleman II he
was in hurry, as it would take some
time to count the money, and they
might have to send to another. bank to
get part Of it. The stranger said no.
He had come on to Milwaukee to buy
the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad.
and had made the purchase for Sl0,0O0.-
600. If they would certify the check
it would answer all purposes. He went
on to say that, having bought the road.
he proposed to make it the great line of
travail between Milwaukee and the coast
that he should put on line Of boats
running across the lake twice 4 day and
connecting with the road --the boats to
be seven miles long. and to make the
trip in two hours, and to have 4 band
