The interesting and compar

Ter, the patient. is an elderly man,
much wasted by consumption. A
lamb eight months old was brought
In. and while an incision was made
in the radial vein of the left forearm
of the patient, another was made
In the carotid artery, a little below
the middle of the lambs neck. A
glass stem attached to the rubber
tube was inserted in the incised
artery of the lamb, and the blood
was conveyed through the rubber
tube; at the other end was silver
stem, fitted into the patients in
cised vein. The operation lasted
two minutes, and carried not more
than about two ounces of blood to
the patient, whereupon the incisions
were bound; the lamb skipped
hriskly away, and the patients
pulse was improved and steady.
Three hours afterward he spoke of
feeling unusually comfortable. If
the operation proves successful, it
will be repeated in about two
weeks, the patients health may
probably admit of larger trans

The loss of valusble documents
which has attended the large eontia-
grations OF the last few years will
cause general interest to at
tach to an ineombustible paper and
fire proof ink recently patented by an
English inventor Though the paper
is not regarded as absolutely inde-
struetible by fire of any degree of
tierceness, it is yet claimed that,
under such circumstances as fire in
houses, factories, or ether buildings,
ordinarily incombustible. The pulp,
which Is manufactured in the usual
way is composed of yeeetable fibre,
one part; asbestos, two parts; borax,
enc tenth part; and alum. two-tenths
parts. These ingredients, having
been previously ground and finely di-
vlded, are brought to the consistency
OF pulp by the addition of water in
proper. proportion. Not only can
writing paper be thus manufactured,
but coarser substance for the bind
incs of books or the enclosing OF
manuscripts. The fire proof ink can
be used in either writing or printing,
and is made according to the follow
ing recipe Graphite, finely ground, %
drachm; copal, or other rcsinous
gum, II grains; sulphate of iron, two
draehms; tincture of nutgalls, two
dracEms; and sulphate of indigo, s
drachms. These substances are thor
oughly mixed and boiled in water,
and the ink thus obtained is said to
be both fire proof and insoluable in
water. When any other color but
black is desired, the graphite is re-
placed by an earthly mineral pigment
of the desired hue.

Liberalism in the Methodist Pulpit.

A new departure from the old
orthodox doctrines of the Method
ist Church has just been inaugur-
ated in this city. The Rev. ii. A.
Cleveland, pastor of tho Foundry
NJ. T.. Church, one of our most
popular churches, in an eloquent
sermon last Sunday evening, made
some bold and terrific onslaughts
on the old fashioned notion that
Christian must necessarily accept
the creed and articles of faith of
the church, or be lost to salvation.
The reverend gentleman took a
very liberal view of Christianity,
made some telling hits at the old
fossils of the church, who despised
all those who did not hold correct
views of religion" and gave the
white chokered, ghost like appear
ing clergemen hard rap for their
hypocracy, closing with an elo-
quent peroration, to the effect that
true religion was found through
faith and confidence in Christ Jesus.
In the language of the Chronicle
reporter, that pastor may 'lose his
head for this Washington
Chronicle.

Slang is not wit. Neither is the

people whose sole effort in writing and

rious work of human kind; with. the
events of the day, and with the facts
of history; with the character of the

All men are not alike; we mean
that they are not alike in those
qualities which make man. There
are some who have the frame and

anything. and it matters not how
mean and contemplate that thing
may be, if they can effect an object

such lie is just as good as the
truth If the former answers the
purpose better than the latter, it is

A Few Things that Congress Can Do.


Congress can pass bill to establish
a national savings depository, and
thus provide place of security for
the surplus earnings of the industrial
classes, add by the amount of interest
paid to the capital and the power of
the working men and women of the
country, and encourage economy and
prudence on the part of the whole
people.
Congress can, by a courageous and
progressive policy, aid materially in
restoring confidence TO the people in
the strength and security of our fnan-
cial SYSTEM but this will not he ac-
comrlished by withholding support to
proper and useful measures Of inn
provement, either as o necessary pub
lie buildings, river and harbor expen-
penditure, or other means of encour-
agement to progress and economical
expenditure by the people.
Congress can confine appropriations
to works of utility, such as public
buildings which save expenditures for
rent, the Improvement OF the lines of
water navigation, so as to cheaper the
transfer Of property from one section
of the county to another, and thus
save money to the people of both sec
tIons.
Congress can restore the 10 per
cent duty which was unadvisedly
taken off of foreign fabrics increased
the taxes on whisky and tobacco, to
which few, if any, will object, and
thus provide all the revenue necessary
to the steady and efficient prosecution
of all legitimate Government work.
Congress can, by the regulation of
fees and the abolition of the ex offlcio
moiety system, equalize the compen-
sation of revenue officers and increase
the public revenue without additional
tax upon the commerce and business
OF the country.
