On last Monday week, when eulogiums
were pronounced IL Congrous upon the life
and services Of the late Charles ssn,uuer.
Hon. L. q. c. Lamar, of Mississippi, de-
Iivered the most notable speech of the day.
Mr.. Lamar was an extreme Southern man,
a violent secessionist and firm believer in
the institution of slavery. His tribute to
the memory of Mr.. Sumner was brief and
eloquent, and indicates emphatically that
the bitter feelings engendered by tho late
civil war have given place to kindly and
fraternal sentiments, anG that ''the era of
good feeling between the South and North
is once more happily restored-a cousum-
nation deyoutly to be wished. Mr.. Lamar
said :
Mr.. Speaker: I rise to second the resolu-
tions presen Ced by the member from Massa-
Chusetts. l believe that they express a sen
timent which pervades the hearts of all peo-
pie whose representatives are here assem-
bled. To-day Mississippi regrets the death
OF Charles Sumner, and sincerely unites in
paying honors TO his memory, not because
of the spleudor of his intellect, not because
of the high culture, elegant scholarship, and
varied learning which revealed themselves
clearly in all his public efforts, or To the
Justice of the application TO him of Johnson u
feicitous expression, He touched nothing
"AiCh Nc ulu not euorn; NOT LAlh, DuJ De-
cause OF those peculiar and strongly Inarked
moral traits of his character which gave col
oring to the whole tenor of his singulnrlY
dramatic public career, making him for a
long period 10 large portion OF his country
men the object of rs deep and passionate "A
AostIhty as to another he WAS one of enthusi-
astlc admiration, and which are not the less
the cause that now unites all these parties
so widely differing in a common sorrow to-
day over his lifeless remains.
Mr.. Lamar continued at some length. in
an eloquent strain of tribute to Mr.. S1m-
ner's statesmanship and worth, concludinq
with the significant utterance e.NIy coupe
tTymen, know one another, and YOU will
!VYe opC another"

4 Cool RIDE.-On the last day of March
man named Patrick Ryan, of Maitland,
\. 3, was walking along the shores of
Mlnas Basin on the board ice, which ex-
tended seme yards from the banks, when
suddenly the piece upon which he wxs
walking became detached, and he drifted
out to sea. This occurred some time in
the forenoon. After drifting about all
night, exposed to the severity Of the wealth
er, which it will be remembered was very
severe, lie was sighted off Diligence River
the following morning. An attempC was
mado to proceed to his rescue, but, as al
ways happens in such cases, not a boat
could be found in which it. was safe 10
leave the shore. The wind blowing a gale
at the time, the man drifted out Of sight in
short time. During the night the wind
Veered round and the unfortunate man
was blown back in the direction from
which he had come. He describes his suf
1erlngs from exposure aud hunger during
this time as beyond description. His frail
bark was slowly but surely growing smaller
before his eyes, while the waves dashed
over 1T, deluging him almost every minute.
aud thus added TO the miseries of his con.
dltlon. He dare not sit down lest he might
fall asleep, from which he knew well he
would never awake. 1t was ooly by themost
superhuman effort that he succee0sd in
Keeping awake, and from constantly chang
ing his position managed to keep himself
from perishing with cold. On the morning
OF the fourth day he was finally SIGHTED
again aud rescued, although nearly in AN
lnsensiblo condition.-!St. John ~. R0

ARBOR DAY IN NEBRAsaA.-It is a fact
that tree planting on large scale Is needed
on the Nebraska prairie, and the people Of
the State are fully aware of tie i'm portance
of the subject. On the bluffs, and on the
banks of rivers and streams, there is abund-
ance of wood, and largo variety of native
trees but there is not sufficient for the
country. The manner in which lumber Is
being cut, without the forests being replaced
i'll the east, also points to the time when, II
trees are planted, the lumber crop of the
prairie States will be matter Of much mo-
ment to the country at large.
In Nebraska timber grows with astonish-
ing rapidity and, if the farmers of the
country are equal TO their poItunities,
not many years will elapse before the tree
less prairie is adorned with waving woods,
the lumber of which viii add largely to the
revenue OF the owners Of the soil.
Trees arc now being planted in Nebraska
by the millions. The Hon. J. Sterling Nor
ton, of Nebraska City, Otoe county, has
been one of the pioneers III the tree plant
ing movement. He originated the idea Of
setting apart one day in each Spring to the
special work of tree planting. The first
'.arbor-d day" was in 1871, and on that day
two million trees WAS planted. In 1872 and
1873 ..arbor-day'' WAS dropped, but 1t W as
recommended to the farmers to choose for
themselves day in April, and set it apart
for tree planting. This year, however, the
State Board of Agriculture has been de-
ternlined to so back to the original PLAN
1t was resolved that ''srbor-day'' should
be the second Wednesday in April and
the State Legislature has been asked to
make the day legal holiday. Each owner
of land was recommended to plant at least
one tree and tho State Board will award
a premium to the person who planted the
largest number. 1t is now the custom of
the Board to give premium to the land
owner who has planted the most trees on
any given day in April ; and, at a recent
meeting Of tho Board, the prize was award
ed to farmer who set out -, 800 trees on
the 2Sth of April, 1878.

more than three times. After leaving Ba-

ly was arrested.
Two persons who visited the prisoner
yesterday morning say that they live near
the scene of the terrible tragedy, and they
ideXtify him as Ernest Love, who was en-
ployed there. The arrest caused intense
excitement in the city, and large crowd

Care FOR SHEEP CHASING DoGs.-Many
people will assent heartily to the principle
that the best possible cure for a sheep chas-
ing dog is to kill him at the earliest mo-
ment but there may be exceptional cases.
y correspondent of the London Field seems
TO think so at least, and relates an instance
where after other attempts had failed, q
nne newfoundland dog was cured by tying
MIN TO two old rams and being left 20 such
amusement as he could extract from their
society The result was an extensive ram
ble over hill and dale, hedges and bitches,
and diversified, of course, by the discord-
ant views each ram and the dog entertained
as to the route for enjoying the best seen
cry. When all three were very tired thew
were loosed, and nothing was so extremely
offensive to that dogs taste as the society
OF sheep.

TRANSMISSION OF Blood Successful
Performance Of one Of the Most F0rHtdd-
bLeOperdtions in StLrgory-A Cure TOR Con-
sunaption.- DIR. McMasters, for years a
practising physician OF note III Toronto,
Canada, has recently established an offlee
in this city. He has successfully perform
ed the very difficult operation of blood
transfIsion quite a number of times for the
cure of consumption. Yesterday afternoon
he performed this operation for the second
time upon Mrs. Campbell wife Of Frank
NJ Campbell, foreman of O1ley's lion
Works. Not long since she was brought
to this city SO eak that she was unable
to walk. She received the first operation
about ten days ago, since which time she
has rapidly improved, has gained Two and
one half pounds in weight and is so far re-
covered as to be able to walk out upon the
street for exercise. Her improvement is
even remarkable. The principle upon
which this cure is being effected is readily
understood 1t is well known that con-
sumption is induced when the blood loses
its vitality or power of reproduction. he
remedy then IS to impart to the blood OF
the patient The power OF reproductions H.
After a controversy Of moII than two cen
turies it has been proven beyond doubt
that the blood of healthy human, II trans
planted to the veins of another, while NV
ing and without being allowed to cool, Will
60 on reproducing itself, just as the ingraft-
ed bud does.
One OF the principal obstacles in the way
of the general adoption Of his cure has
been the inability to construct such an IN
strument as would transmit the blood with
out allowing it to cool, and the consequent
danger attending it. D.. McMasters is the
inventor, however, of an instrument which,
thought not yet completed to his satisfao-
ton, obyiates this difficulty. Yesterday
afternoon lie lifted vein in the wrist OF
the patient and also one in the wrist OF
her husband, who is a very strong, healthy
man, and, lancing them applied the instru-
ment. In about thirty minutes two ounces
| OF blood OF the patient reSembled il color
watered port wine, but yesterday it appear
! ed much redder, showing that the work OF
reproduction had already com eommenced. II
tions will effect a permanent curc.-St.
