TRANSMISSION of Blood.

An interesting experiment was
performed on Friday last in Fall
River, Mass, by Drs. Julius Hof-
mann and Louis Weyland of this
city. Herman Dubois had suffered
] from consumption for five years,
and had become very weak and de-
blitated. Physicians advised him
to seek q warmer climate, but he
had not sufficient strength to avail
himself of this chance Of relief. DR..
Hoffman had trsnsfused blood from
animals, dogs and lambs, to the hu-
man subject with success in six
cases, and it was determined to make
the experiment upon Mr.. Dubois.
DR.. Hoffman, described the opera
tion as follows: "a healthy, active
lamb was procured and taken to the
room where the patient reclined.
The animal was laid upon its side.
An incision was made on one
side Of the larynx, exposing the car
otid artery. When this artery was
fully exposed, a igature was tied
around the vessel, shutting off com
pletely the blood current. Alta dis
tance of about an inch and a half
below the ligsture, a powerful pair
Of forceps was applied to the artery,
COMPRISING the vessel perfectly.
Thus there was q space between the
ligature and the forceps which could
be opened without danger of
hemorrhage. A small incision was
made iato the artery in this enclosed
space. Then 3 glass tube slightly
bent was inserted into the artery. A
isthmus had been made in the part
of the glass tube inserted into the
artery, which enabled the tube to be
securely 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 the elbow connecting the basilic
and cephalic veins was exposed. A
bandage was tied around below the
proposed incision to prevent flow
Of Venous blood from the wound.
After exposing the vein by an in
cision an inch long, forceps were
placed above and below, shutting off
the blood current from a space about
half an inch long. The lamb neck
was then brought close to the pa
TENTS arm, and the pressure of the
forceps upon the lambs artery re-
laxed. The blood rushed through
the tube, expelling all the air. Then
the opposite end was skillfuIly in
serted into the patients vein and the
pressure Of the forceps upon the
lambs artery removed. 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 renewed and
the tube removed. Yesterday l
heard from Mr.. Dubois and he has
sufficiently recovered his strength to
enable him to visit q warmer eli
mate 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 experiment
in this city is still alive, and is now
tied in a stable in an adjoining street
The human subject was so much
benefited that he spent the summer
in the Catskills, and is now in Balti-
more.-NeU York Tribune.

Nantnd Hia snoot Rusted.

He was walking one way and his
head was turned the other. Sud
denly he stopped, then he dropped.
Another man had been walking in
the opposite direction, and had his
eye on the ground. He was looking
for a pocket book that had been ad-
vertised in the daily papers. 1t was
the log that interfered with the first
gentleman, who picked himself up
from the sidewalk. He gloTed on
the man for an instant and then re-
marked: "If you WernT thicker
headed than that log you carry, you
blind-eyed log-headed fool, I'd bust
your snoot." "Oh, you would would
you?" was the reply. "Win some
gentleman hold this log while he
busts my snoot? 1 want q snoot
bust, PTe been looking for a sRoot
bust with intensity for years. Won't
some gentleman hold this logp
And he swung around with the log,
and the log knocked of one mans
hat, captured the butterfly from the
neck of an interested spectator, and
dislocated the back hair Of a lady
that was passing. And yet he didn't
get anybody to hold that lOg,snd he
was disappointed in not having his
suoot busted on this occasion. 1t is
singular how disobliging the men Of
q great city are.

Mr.. smileY's Gun.
Max Adler relates this story:

Max Adler relates this story:
Recently it occurred to Mr..
Smiley, of Darbey, that it would be
a good thing to go out to see if he
couldn't shoot rabbit or two. He
always kept his gun loaded and
ready in the corner of the room, so
he merely shouldered it and went
out. After while he saw a rabbit,
and taking aim he pulled the trig
ger. The gun failed to go of. Then
be pulled the other trigger, and the
cap snapped again. Mr.. Smiley
used some extreme language, and
then, taking a pin, he picked the
the nipples Of the gun, primed them
with a little powder, and started
again. Presently he saw another
rabbit, but both caps snapped again.
The rabbit did not see Smiley, SO he
put on more caps, and they snapped
too. Then Smiley cleaned out the
nipples again, primed them, and
pointed the gun at a fence. Then
the caps snapped again. Then
Smiley became furious, and in his
rage he expended forty-se7en caps
in an effort to make that gun 60 OF.
When the forty-sevcnth cap missed
also, Smiley thought there might
perhaps be something the matter
with the inside Of the gun, so he
tried the barrels with his ramrod.
To his utter dismsy he discovered
that both barrels were empty. Mrs.
Smiley, who is nervous about fire
arms, had drawn the loads without
telling Smiley, for fear Of making
him angry. If there had been q
welkin anywhere about, it would
probably have been made to ring
with Mr.. Smiley's excited denuncia-
tions of Mrs. Smiley. Finally how
ever, he became cooler, and loading
both barrels, he started again after
rabbits. He saw one in few mo
ments, and was about to fire, when
| he noticed that there were no caps
on his gun. He felt for one, and to
his dismay found that he had
snapped the last one of. Then he
ground his teeth and walked home.
On his way there he saw at least six
hundred rabbits. He has been out
hunting every day since, however,
with his gun in first-rate order, aud
he has never laid eyes on a solitary
rabbit. Smiley IS beginning to
think something is wrong in the
government of the universe.

ARomanoa of Hungary.


Gregory Balls was sentenced, dur
ing the first week of the present
month, to ten years Imprisonment
at hard labor, by Hungarian court,
after awaiting his trial in prison for
more than six years. His story is
unparalleled in the record of Grim
inal romance. In 1868 Landislsus
Balsaghy, q captain in the HonVeds
became the bailiff of q wealthy wild
oW in a village Of Hungary. He
proved very efficient, was handsome,
graceful and well versed in the trick
of wooing, and in a tWelvemonth he
married the beautiful Clementine
Won Kuzanovich, a young lady of
noble birth. In the political excite
ments which followed Balsaghy
made himself extremely popular, par
ticularly distinguishing himself as
political orator. His voice and man
ner led enthusiastic people to com
pare him with the Baron Wesselenyi,
a deceased noble who during his life
had been aiaery and effective stump
orator. This comparison gave Bal
saghy's fortunes a new impetus.
The Baron, besides his numerous
offspring by his acknowledged wife,
had about one hundred illegitimate
children, for whom he had provided
in his will. Balsaghy, however,
boldly proclaimed himself another
natural son of the prolific Baron, and
produced papers which proved his
claim. The legitimate heirs, who
had lost quite enough of their right
full heritage by the indiscriminate
loves of their father, pronounced the
papers a forgery. The claimant
prosecuted the case; the courts,
afraid to offend one who had such
power over the people, decided In
his favor, and the heirs were COM
PEELED to pay him a sum equal to
| that received by each Of the other
natural sons Of the Baron. Balsaghy
then produced"proof' that his moth
er was an eminent countess who had
been powerful in politics and an in
innate friend of Baron Wesselenyii
and this also was generally believed.
He settled in ,Debreczin, lived IN
splendor, was toasted and worshiped,
The Hungarian election came on
Balsaghy was to enter the Reichstag-
and he and his friends were even
laying a scheme to crush the treaty
with Austria, and hoist an independ-
ent banner bearing the name OF
Kossuth or, perhaps, Balsaghy'
These we're the adventurers amDl-
tieus plans, when all his dreams OF
position and power were rudely dis,
solved. The heirs of Wesselenyl
had long been quietly hunting uE
Balsaghy's anteeedents, and they

with incontroVertible proofs that
Landislaus Bslsaghy was no othel
than the murderer, robber chief, anC
forger, Gregory Balla, who had es
capped from the Mako prison in 1854
After his escape, he had followed
the life of q professional plunderel
, until he had gathered enough wealth
, to enter society and become a re
: spectable citizen. In 1858 his bril-
4 liant career closed as his prison

An Item for the Boys.

Robinson Crusoe's Island is to-
day a little paradise. Lord planted
there, on one of his voyages, apples,
peaches, grapes, plums, strawberries
and several kinds Of vegetables.
The number Of the latter was in
creased by a Scotchman, David
Douglas, who landed on the island
in 1926. He was not a little aston
ished to find q hermit there, who
had been on the island five years.
On the second day he was not 3 lit
tie surprised to see man suddenly
emerge from a clump of bushes and
approach him. He looked upon him
as Crusoe's successor, although he
did not occupy the historical cave,
having built himself hut OF stones
and sods, roofing it with the straw
of wild oats. AS cooking utensils,
he possessed only a single iron pot,
the bottom of which, one unfortun-
ate day, had fallen out. This dam
age he had, however, had the In
genuity to repair with wooden bot
tom; but now he was compelled to
place his pot in the ground, and
build a fire around it. This mans
name was William Clark, and ht
came from London. He had few
books, and among them there was

lures and of CoWper's poems. HI

WANTED TO GET MARRIED.


THE following impromtu lines were ad
dressed to clergyman of this city some day
1since. Their meaning will probably be plail
to most readers:
Though we have never met with each other
And your church did nevsr attend,
Still I claim you in God as brother,
And shall call you MY dear Christian friend.
Thus to your reverence send this sffusion,
By one who is friendly to me;
hope it will cause no confusion,
When 'tis opened and money you see;
For the service 1 now ask of you;
But it equaled one fifth in my Golfer,
So please not the tender eschew.
When you enter it down in your docket,
Please not at its minuteness scof.
For if you never have less in your pocket
You will always be well enough off,
have lived many years In confusion,
Enjoying q single-wretchedness of life;
But now have come to the conclusion
To take to my bosom wife.
1 have found one at last that will suit me,
And look now upon her with pride;
I hope some good marksman will shoot me
Ill don't want to make her my bride.
1 asked her one night if shed have meH'
She looked up and sweetly did smile,
And this is the answer she made me,
yes, darling, if you'll Waite just awhile.'
The time has been patiently Waited
As on times wings it swiftly did glide,
And now them want to be mated,
And take this young maid as my bride.
1 hope yos9H not Waite, neither tarry,
Nor think of this scrap as q pun,
But come with intentions to marry
And make Alice Waite and me one.
I want the knot tied as it should be-
Not tied with a blemish or flaw;
But 80 Iawyers-who troublers would be-
Cannot loose it by flaws in the law.
Then well laugh at the wind and the weather,
And well scoff at the storm and the blast;
We will bless God, and love him together,
And haven Of rest reach at last,
Where the weary can rest without trouble.
And none need be fearful of death;
Where lifetime is merely bubble,
That would perish and be gone at breath.
And now if never more meet you,
While we sojourn in this blessed land;
am in hopes 1 in Heaven may greet you,
Midst the throng seated near Gods right
hand.

self-possession forsook him. He
took her in his arms and pressed
her to his heart. He called heaven
and earth to witness that, were she
a queen, he could not be prouder Of
her; they should be married at once
by the padre, and sail with her faith
jer by the next vessel for his English
home. Did she love himP
Juanilla leaned her head over his
hand and kissed it. "Senor,,n she
said, simply, 81 love you; but we

was his mothers dying wish that we

Thorpe walked up and down the
sands, and raved like a madman.
He Wept and moaned, and kissed
over and over again the hand her
lips had earessed. And then the
storm was succeeded by an intense
sorrow. He walked to the woods,
and laid until evening under the
pines.
In a week, Pancho's ship came in.
1t was Juanilla's wedding morn
ing. The poor moss-gatherer was
fearfully changed. Kind neighbors
said that anxiety for her betrothed
had stolen the roses from her.

Whaler was shocked at the GOODNESS
with which his promised bride re-
ceived his caresses. The wedding
procession moved to the church.

illa's face as pale as the white we'd
ding-gown she wore. The VOWS
were exchanged, and the gray-head-
ed priest blessed the married pair.
And then they returned to the
Whaler's cottage, the guitars were
touched and Paneho led out his
lovely bride in a Spanish dance.
They had scarcely taken a step,
when a cry from the beach brought
everybody to the porch. A boy was
seen standing on the bluff, shouting
wildly:
"DoWn to the boats!-the Eng
lishman is drowning! To the boats,
or he will be lostp
Before the wedding throng fully
comprehended the alarm, a white
figure burst from their midst. Like
the wind she dashed down to the
bluff, then over the rocks, now
lashed by the angry waves, for the
tide was high and a strong north
wester blowing. At her feet-aliye,
yet not struggling at all with the
breakers-lay Thorpe, his face full
of the agony Of death. Juanilla
sprung from the rock with a wild
shrek, and her arms eneircled the
drowning man. And then, before
even her husband could reach the
cliff, a mighty wave came and drew
them both far out into its depths.
An hour aftergard, the sea gave up
its dead. The arms of the bride
still encircled her lover, and one of
his was clasped in the rigidity of
death about her neck, and upon his
face was a smile as Of one content.
They were buried, side by side, in
the sea-washed graveyard, under the
shadow of oaks in whose branches
the doves at autumn-time cooed
through the long cleaning, as if in
sympathy with their old, old story,
And tides ebbed and flowed, and
the seasons changed, and lovers laid
flower offerings on the graves of the
two so lovely to each other in life
and in death so undivided OUer'
