ARE THE INDIANS OF THE LOST TEN
TRIBES OF ISRAEL I'VE see il stated
in the Memphis Bulletin that some
Jewish rabbi. living in Memphis, be-
lieyes the word Arkansas" which is
an Indian name, to be derived from
two Hebrew words. VIZ can tell Him
something that is more lsraelitish
than the mere name of Arkansas, in
regard to the Indians. Among the
Cherokees there are many customs
which seem to point to them as des>
cendants of Israel. For instance,
they had at an early day established
among them, three cities of refuge,
where ally one killing another could
flee, if he reached either of the towns
he was free from the vengeance of
the manslayer. These towns fga- too
hu) were situated some distance apart
in the nation, and we can only recol-
1ect the name Of them, Echoti and
Tahlequah-the others name we have
forgotten.
There is another custom among
item which looks like they were the
descendants Of Jacob. The old In
dians who lived years ago, and fol-
lowed implicitly the manners and
customs of their fathers handed down
by tradition, wonld not eat the sinew
or the hollow of the thigh, which was
q custom of the children of Israel,

The account of this matter may be
in EXODUS, 32d .chap'er, be
at the Oath verse.

these matters of history? We have

TRANSMISSION OF BLooD-AN INTER
EsTING SURGICAL EXPERIMENT.-An
interesting experiment was performed on
the the 18th instant in Fall River, Mass,
by Mrs. Julia Hoffman and Louis Way
land, of New York, of which the "Tri-
bune" says:
'sHerman Dubois had suffered from con-
sumption for five years, and had become
very weak and debilitated Physicians
advised him to seek a warmer climate, but
he had not sufficient strength to avail him
self of this chance of relief. Dr.. Hoffman
had transfused 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.. Dubois
and a connection formed with the carotid
artery of living lamb by a glass tube
with a vein in the patients arm.
The bright blood leaped 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. Fri
CAV Mr.. Dubois had 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 well. A lamb
used in the same manner in a former eX-
perimeI in this city is still elive, and is
now tied in a stable in an adjoining street.
The human subject was so much benefit
ted that he spent the summer in the Cats
kills, and is now in Baltimore"

TIE BURIAL OF JOSEPH SANTINI IN
NEW ORLEANs.-The remains of the late
Joseph Santini, who, in life, was so well
known in Staunton, and who died sud-
denly in Europe, were inferred in New
Orleans last week. The N. o. Chimes
says:
Yesterday his remains reached this city
for final interment, and the funeral cere-
mony took place at the st. Louis Cemetery
at 4 O'Clock last evening. No similar
event has TRANSFERRED in our midst in many
years which SO feelingly expressed the be-
reaved sentiments of the general public
Mr.. Santini was d prominent Mason, and
a member of the Orleans Dramatic Ass0-
citation, the Young Mems Benevolent AS
ISOLATION, and Of the Order Of the Sons of
Louisiana, and all of these various orders
and societies appeared to honor the men,
DRY of their dead friend and brother and
pay to his remains the last tribute of re-
spect. Besides these, very many other
citizens attended. Thus have been laid
away in their last repose the ashes of one
whose memory will long remain green in
the hearts of the people of New Orleans

SENATOR THURMAN IN LYN CHBURG.-
After the fair, some citizens of Lynchbgrg
gave Senator Thurman an entertainment
at the Norvel House, about fifty gentle
men being present. The ''Virginian' says:
The first speech Of the evening was from
MI. Thurman himself, in response to the
first regular toast, and the deliverance was
what might be expected from statesman
Of his established reputation. We took no
notes and do not propose to report any Of
the speeches, but simply remark that that
pronounced by the honored guest was
highly appreciated and warmly applauded
by the company Other gentlemen fol-
lowed, in response to regular toasts, viz:
MessrS. Tucker, Early, Whitehead, Daniel,
Blackford, Kean and Bocock, while, in re-
spouse to volunteer t0asts, Messrs. Goggin
and Yancey were called out. The Hon.
Thos. S. Bocock presided with his accus-
toned dignity and grace, adding greatly,
by his happy manner and felicitouS eX-
pressions, to the interest of the occasion.
A most refined and agreeable entertain
ment it was, the speaking being excellent,
and nothing occurring to mar the harmony
of truly festive event. The company
separated, taking leave of their honorad
and distinguished guest at nearly O'Clock
in the morning, than whom, we feel quite
sure, no one Was better pleased with all
that TRANSFERRED. Mr.. Thurman left on

respondent of the Louisville Courier.
Journal' says:
CAS- a body, the colored people of Geor-
gia are done with the Radical party for
ever. The leaders of that organization
have cheated, swndled, lied to and de-
ceiyed them for the last time. At the
election yesterday whole battalions of
them voted the Democratic ticket In
Bibb county, where the colored vote is
much stronger than the white, and where
regular candidates were in the field repre-
senting both parties, the Democrats car
ried the day by 1880 majority. In the
city of Augusta there were almost as
many colored men who voted the Demo-
cratic as the Radical ticket. One or two
of the counties reported as having gone
solidly for the Democrats, have large black
populations. 1t took the negro long
time to find out who was his best friend
to learn that his old master was q man
who would do to trust q thousand times
more than the carpet-bagger.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES. Ohio Democracy are talking
of their Governor Allen for the next Pres
idency. He is a native Of Virginia, and
is thus spoken of by Don Piatt in a1etter
from CINCINNATI:
When, something over year since, the
Democracy of Ohio, in convention assem-
bled ut Columbus, said, ''Rise up, William
Allen,' and be our candidate for governor.
an audible smile ripped over the Buckeye
State. 1t had been a generation since
William Allen aforesaid had figured upon
the stage as the '!Wah'' senator of Ohio
| The Oregon boundary line was in dispute
and the Democracy, much dependent upon
the Irish vote, roared for the next war, and
''Fifty-four, forty OF fight" was the rally
| ing cry, Unfortunately the ''Wah'' sena-
tor was suddenly cut down in mid-career by
| one Senator Crittenden of Kentucky, who
| did not ''Wal'' cry much but would fight.
| Afterwards, the tall leader, with wonder
full lung power and flow of language, mar
ried rich widow and retired to the castle
of Blackberry hill, where he unused upon
the vanity Of human "waho cries and
studied the records of the past and the
deep philosophy Of the living present.
| CorWin. Hamer, Read, Chase and many
others Who had laughed at the eloquent
| young senator, died and We're severally
| buried, and the world went on in it's roar
of busy life, forgetting that such a man
ever lived, or remembering him among the
things that were, when suddenly the Dem
ocracy said, Rise up, William Allen''
And he did rise up, and it seemed as if
| he never would get done rising up i'll the
| long, lank figure dressed in the forgotten
! costume Of the past. A portentious bell
crowned beaver hat, with a broad, curled
brim, covered his gigantic intellect;
| sWalloW-tailed coat, over which brass but
| tons craWled like metallic beetles, covered
his shoulders; a standing collar threatened
his INTEL ctual ears, while a buff vest and
attenuated pantaloons finished his wear
ing apparel. His lungs were discovered to
be sound his flow Of words as of old, and
the only trouble was in getting him down
from the issues of a past generation to
those Of to-day. He would thunder with
fearful power on the resolutions of 9S and
the alien and sedition laws He proved,
however, an ugly customer When Sena-
tor o. P. Morton dared to twit him with
belonging to Il dead past, Senator William
retorted by reminding 0. 2. that his Nor
TONS legs were buried in some disreputable
locality in Indiana, and that the age of
years commanded respect, while the in
firmities of disease only excited disgust.
The agriculturists and rank and file of the
Democracy in Ohio have taken a great
liking to the old senator, and we should
not wonder much if the entire State were
to demand his nomination.
