THE NslU York SIN asks: "Why
Tweed in prison and Richardson out?"
Because Tweed was a Democrat and
was exposed in his corrupt practices by
Democrats, and his conviction thus Sc
cured; while Richardson, who is a Re-

IF he were a Democrat, the Sun would

A Miser's Wealth.

A MOST extraordinary case OF mIserly
thrift has just been unearthed in New
York city through the medium of a rob-
berry. For many years an old counsellor
named Luther Bryant might have been
seen standing at the iron fence surround
ing the old North Dutch Church, at the
corner of Fulton and William streets.
Few persons imagined that the frugal
old man, who took Il simple breakfast and
dinner at a restaurant on Chatham street,
possessed in his rooms at No. FOrsythe
street u perfect mine of wealth, and yet,
concealed by padlocks, in old bureaus
and boxes, and buried beneath the floor,
were $75, 900 in twenty dollar gold pieces,
coins to the value of ST., 600, $50 900
worth of postage stamps, thousands of
dollars in mutilated and other currency
valuable clocks, chrOmOs and curiOsities.
The mans history teaches one lesson,
viz: that industry, economy and shrewd-
ness will make money even in the SIM
plest of ways. He was born in 1901, in
Berkshire County, Mass. studied medi-
cine, and practiced in Burlington, VT,
and Charleston, S. c. At the outbreak
of the war he came to New York and
started business as described. The old
man lived entirely alone, trusting by day
to his bars and bolts, and by night to a
revolver and a bowie-knife. But the
gathering of years has vanished, and no
trace of the missing treasure can be
found Having been arrested on a war
rant for purchasing stolen stamps, the
rooms were left for five entire days I'M
tenanted. During that time the thieves
effected their entrance and successfully
carried off their booty. 1t is probably
the biggest haul they have ever had, and,
although it is great loss to the old man,
it is but another proof that the money
of miser generally comes to little good.

MIR. REUBEN SHELMANDINE, of Jetfer-
son, n. ", is evidently philanthropist,
and he proves his love for mankind in
general by issuing proclamation to
farmers. The writer says he has had an
experience of twenty years on Il farm,
and not on IA sidewalk" and that his
remarks are practical. Transplant, he
says, finest or standard fruit trees, some
in the fall and some in the spring, until
you have from ten to fifty trees growing.
No tree should stand nearer Il building
than twenty feet, and the trees should be
about twenty feet apart throughout the
entire grove or orchard. Establish forest
trees along the road and front yard, and
fruit or forest trees on either side of the
house. Sugar maple, commonly named
hard maple, is preferable of forest trees,
and thrifty, hardy apples or pears, or
both of the standard mot DWARF kinds.
Ornamental trees should be trimmed
during the first few years, leaving the
main shoot to form the trunk of the
tree, in order to have the branching
lower limbs of the final tree from six to
seven feet from the ground. The land
in such an orchard grove can be cult
waited for all ordinary crops, including a
garden, by blowing shallow and care
fully near the trees 1t is suggested that
the first ten trees be planted on the
south side of the house, if none be there
already. If a wind-break is wanted on
the west, northwest, or southwest, plant
as near together rs possible, and have a
part of the trees evcrgreens, to complete
the thicket. The forest and fruit trees,
arranged twenty feet apart, as above de
scribed, will be estimated by the owner
or other persons at the expiration of five
years from the time of planting to be
worth at least five dollars each, and at
the expiration of ten years at ten dollars
each, with an increasing value there
after.-Scientifc american.

Learn to Forge Your Own Tools.

MANY mechanics have an idea that af-
ter they have mastered the more legiti
mate duties of the workshop they have
learned all that is necessary, and can I'M
dertakc anything in their line of bust
ness. Machinists particularly are prone
to this crror-a common one, by the way
and think that knowledge of fitting
and turning, once acquired, makes up
for all other deficiencies. In reality. the
self-stylcd finished mechanic is, paradox
ically, the unfinished one; for he who
acknowledges his shortcomings, and tries
to correct them by obtaining all the in
formation he can, will acquire more
thorough knowledge of his procession.
Comparatively few machinists are COM
potent to dress their own tools, OF, in
deed, handle the blacksmith's hammer
on any work How many times such
knowledge would have been invaluable
we leave individuals to decide from their
own experience. A simple weld, which
they were unable to make, a faculty for
dressing chisels without putting their
own eyes in danger by striking the anvil
instead of the tool, would assurcdly have
stood persons, ignorant of such details,
in good service in time of need. Ap-
prentices who go to the tool-dresser to
have the edges of their chisels or other
instruments renewed will do well to OBJ
serve the process and inform themselves
of it, instead OF throwing coal at the help
ers, or otherwise conducting themselves
in an unrtly manner. Observation and
experience are twins, and no youth, or,
indeed, any adult, can hope to attain emf
hence or proficiency without paying
some attention to the matters herein al
ludcd to.-Neraik Manufacturer.

The Altitude at Which Men Can Live.

a CONTRIBUTOR to Chambers Journdl
gives the following facts relating to the
altitude at which men can live: I'm
July, 1872, he and Mr.. Coxwell assembled
in balloon to the enormous height of
Sc, 900 feet. Previous to the start Mr..
Glashier's pulse stood at 16 beats a min
ute, Coxwelrs at "a. At 1900 feet the
pulse of the former was at 81, that of the
latter at 100. At 10000 feet Giashier's
hands and lips were quite blue, but not
his face. AT 81 900 feet he heard his
heart beating, and his breathing became
oppressed; at 20, 600 feet he became
senseless, Notwithstanding which the
aeronaut, in the interest of science went
up another 5000 feet, till he could no
longer use his hands, and had to pull the
strings of the valve with his teeth
Aeronauts who have to make no eXer-
tons have, of course, a great advantage
over members of the Alpine Club, and
those who trust their legs; even at 1900
feet these climbers feel very uncom-
Portable, more so in the Alps, it seems,
than elsewhere. At the Monastery of St
Bernard, S,117 feet high, the monks
become asthmatic, and are compelled
frequently to descend into the Valley of
the Rhone fOr-anything but a breath of
fresh air; and, at the end of ten wears
service, are obliged to give up their high
living, and come down to their usual
level. At the same time, in South
America there are towns, such as PotoSi,
placed as high as the top Of Mont Blanc

TRANSMISSION of BI0Od-An Interesting
Experiment.

Az interesting experiment was per
formed on Friday last in Fall River,
Mass, by Drs. ..ulius Hoffman and Louis
Weyland, of this city. Herman Dubois
had suffered from consumption Tor hNe
Years, and had become very weak and
dcbilitatcd. Physicians advised him to
seek IA warmer climate, but he had not
sufficient strength to avail himself of this
chance of relief DR. Hoffman had trans
fused blood from animals, dogs and
lambs To the human subject with sue
cess in six cases, and it was determined
to make the experiment upon Mr.. Du-
bois Mr.. Hoffman de crihcd the opera
ton as follows: "A healthy, active lamb
was procured and taken to the room
where the patient reclincd. The animal
was laid upon its side. An incision was
made on one side of the larnyX, expos
ing the carotid artery. When this artery
was fully exposed, ligature was tied
around the vessel, shutting off complete
ly the blood current. At "A distance of
about an inch and Il half below the liga-
turc Il powerful pair of forceps was ap-
piled to the artery, COMPRISING the YES
sci perfectly Thus there was IA space
between the ligaturc and the torceps
which could be opened without danger
of hcmorrhagc. y small incision was
made into the artery in this inclosed
space. Then II glass tube slightly bent
was inserted into the artery. \ small
isthmus of construction had been made in
trc part of the glass tube inserted into the
artery, which enabled the tube to be Sc
curely tied into the vessel. After the tube
had been secured in the lambs artery
everything was ready for work upon the
patient. In Mr.. Dubois arm the vein at
the bend of his elbow connecting the
basilic and cephalic veins was exposed
A bandage was tied around below the
proposed incision to prevent Il flow of
venous blood from the wound. After
exposing the vein ny an incision an inch
long forccps were placed above and be-
low, shutting off the blood current from
IA space about half an inch long. The
lambs ne ok was then brought close to
the patients arm and the pressure of the
forceps upon the lambs artery relaxed
The blood rushed through the tube, eX-
polling all the air. Then the opposite
end was skillfully inserted into the
patients vein and the pressure of the
forccps upon the lambs artery removed
The bright blood rushed through the
tube and entered the system of the
patient. The stream was kept up for
one minute and forty seconds. Then the
compression was removed and the tube
removed. Yesterday | heard from Mr..
Dubois and he has sufficiently recovered
his strength to enable him to visit a
warmer climate this coming cold weather,
with good prospects of regaining his
health The lamb is also alive and doing
we'll" A lamb used in the same manner
in IA former experiment in this city is
still alive and is now tied in stable in
an adjoining street. The human subject
was so much benefited that he spent the
summer in the Catskills and is now in

vcnience. The highest inhabited spot in
the world is, however, the Buddhist
Cloister of Haule, in Thibet, where
twcnty-one priests live at an altitude OF
10000 feet. The brothers Schlagintweit,
when they explored the glaciers of the
lbiGamin in the same country, encamped
at 2l0O0 feet, the highest altitude ut
which European ever passed the night

did not confess to feeling so bad as they

IT is an old saying that there is cheat
ing in all trades but ours But we have
heard of confession that puts this say
ing to shame \ house paintcr-an
elderly man-was painting an outer door,
and gentleman who stood by asked
him if his paints were lead and oil.
After IA little hesitation he owned that
they were not Being asked if they
would stand the weather as we'll as if
they were, he admitted that they would
not; and then, seeing that his questioncr
knew something of the craft, he was
tempted into IA confession. He said that
he had been working ut his trade nearly
forty years, and that the difference be
tween the way in which work was done
now and when he was an apprentice was
very great indeed. Then it was thor
ough, honest work, done with good
materials, good lead and good oil. Now
it was not. Then men took IA pride in
doing their work well and in seeing it
stand after it was done. They priced
not only the reputation but the con
seriousness of doing good work. Now all
that they sought was to do work that
would show well enough to get them
their pay, and what became of it after
ward they did not care. Then they val
ued good name, not only for what 1t
brought them, but for itself, and they
expected to make Il comfortable,
honest living, and TO lay up some
thing year by year. Now they
thought of nothing but to get rs much
money as they could for us little labor as
they could give, and to use the cheapest
materials that would make IA job look
well when it was finished. They expect
ed to make Il lot of money" in Il few
years and if they did not they were dis
contcnted and talked of giving up their
business. Work done thirty or forty
years ago lasted twice as long as work
done now and was worth twice as much
while it lasted. The colors mostly used
now would crumble away like dust in
two or three years, while really good
paint in that time ought to grow hard
and have firmer surface than soon
after it was put on. The truth is" he
added, were all just crazy after money
making and we don't care how we make
it." the facts confessed will not sur
prise any of us, but the confession is
strange. OF its truth there can be nc
doubt. And when we consider that il
was only the honesty of the confession
that was strange, and that what this gray
haired house-painter told of his trade is
true of all others, and that we all know
that it is true, the implied condition OF
things is one of the Saddest and most
disheartening of the signs of the times
