TRANSMISSION of Lambs Blood.

The Fall River letter in the Provi-
dence JOH,UnI of Saturday, says:
''The experiment of direct transfu-
sion of the blood of a live lamb was
performed upon the person of Her
man Dubois, residing at No. A
Globe street, by Drs. Julius HOff-
man and Weyland, of New York
City, this afternoon at five o'clock.
1t took one minute and thirty sec
Onds to make the TRANSMISSION, about
six ounces being transfused within
the time and it proved an entire sue
cess. 1t took nearly an entire day
to prepare the lamb for the expert
ment. Every vein which was con-
nected with the jugular vein was sew
cred and securely tied by the physi-
clans, so as to allow the blood free
egress to the arm of the patient. DR..
Hoffman used small glass tube,
about two inches and one-half long
slightly curved for the operation,
thus bringing the neck of the lamb
in very close proximity to the pa
TENTS arm. Mr.. Dubois has been
afflicted with the consumption lit
tie more than two years, and as a last
resort for relief, it was thought best
by his friends to try the experiment.
At last accounts he was quite com
Portable: Immediately after transfu-
sion the patient experienced sharp
pains throughout the back, chest and
limbs, together with shortness of
breath for about fifteen minutes, then
he became quiet until little after
six, when he exhibited the same
symptoms, accompanied with chills
for about half an hour, then he be-
came quiet, and remained in that
condition ut eleven o'clock"

THE New York Post thus speaks
in view of the recent democratic vic
tories IN Ohio and Indiana:
No New York democrat who be
Heces in the financial resolution of
the Syracuse platform, upon which
Mr.. Tilden was nominated, has a
right to take the least satisfaction
either in the manner in which the
Indiana and Chic canvasses were
conducted or in their result. On the
contrary he should hang his head at
the sight of the battalion of "demo-
cratic" expanders of the currency
and repudiators of the public debt,
which majority of the voters in
those States, whom he ought to be
to acknowledge as his allies,
have elected to the next Congress.

Success Of Narrow Guage RAIL

American Railroad .Tournal.1
The buildingo of narrow guagc rail
ways continues to receive much at
tention, aud while there is latterly a
falling off in the construction of roads
of regular guage. there has heen an
important increase in narrow guage
building. 1t is cOntended that the
three foot road can he built at much
less cost and in Il shorter space of
time; also. that the equipment can
be had at less cost. The Den.
yer and Rio Grande railroad is said to
have been saved from bankruptcy du-
ring the panic only on the account of
the manner it could he utilized as a
narrow guage. Missouri capitalists
are beginning To awaken to this
fact. The line recently established
to extend from bismarck on the
Northern Pacific railroad TO st. Louis
via Sioux City and Des Moines, is to
he narrow glIage: and it is estima
ted that $4,000 per mile can build
and equip it. A short line has been
recently constructed centerin@ at
EdgartOwn, Massachusetts, the con
structi0n and operating expenses of
which are said to he comparatively
less than any other road in New Eng
land. The Baldwin Locomotive
Works, the largest in the world. are
for the statement that ..up
to July IL last, the narrow guage en-
gines built and in progress in 1875
to 26 per cent. of the
whole. They add. that in the year
1873 the proportion was 10 per cent,
and that the panic has not affected it
as much as the wide guage.' The
orders for power show steady in
crease of narrow guage business,
while the wide guage has shown con
siderable decrease.

An Extraordinary Story.

TLondon Correspondence New York
-'.---- Graphic.
A very strange story was told to
me the other day. In town not far
from London there lived a young lady
who was handsome, tolerably wealthy,
and more than usually well educa-
ted. Her father was an invalid; her
mother was an insipid, cold, and
heartless woman. Two years ago a
physician of London was called to at
tend the father; in this way the
young lady saw him. He paid no at
tention to her-his mind was en-
crossed with his professional duties.
A few weeks ago this doctor, after
paying a visit to his patient, was
somewhat surprised by being asked
by the young lady to give her the ia
vor of a private interview. She took
him into a drawing room and led him
to the further end of the apartment.
Doctor" said she, 81 suppose that
gentlemen of your profession are ac
customed to receive strange conf
dences. l have a confession to make
to you" He supposed that the i'm
pending confession had something to
do with the state of her own health
or with that of her father, and he
begged her to proceed. "You will,
however. be scarcely prepared for
what ! am about to say" she con-
tinued. "But I wish you to hear it.
1t is now just two years since first
saw you. You have scarcely ever ex-
changed a word with me, but | have
learned much about you. | am not
mistaken in believing that you are
unmarried?"
'No," said he, 81 am not married"
"And your affections are not en-
gaged?"
"You scarcely have the right to
ask that" said he.
"Well, then," she replied, Il will
not ask it; but must make you my
confession. love You with all my
heart. l wish you to marry me. l
have loved you from the first moment
1 saw you. 1 said to myself, will
wait for two years; if he then speaks
to me l will know what to say. You
have not spoken, and now speak. l
say / love you with all my heart; you
are necessary for me; will you marry
me?'
The doctor, who, although not a
very old man, was twice the age of
the young lady, recovering a little
from his surprise, tried to turn the
matter off as joke; but the young
lady was very serious.
s'No," said she, 81 am in very So
ber earnest. / know all that you
may say or think as to the indelicacy
of my proposal, but I cannot help it:
1 ask you once more, can you love me,
and will you marry me?"
"In sober earnest, then," he replied,
81 can not marry you"
'Then l shall die" said she, very
calmly, and she left the room.
The doctor had heard people say
before this that they should die, and
he left the house without attaching
much Importance to the prophecy, al
though wondering greatly at the other
portion of this interview.
A few days after this the young
lady was found dead in her bed. Two
letters laid upon her dressing table.
One was addressed to her family So
llcitor. 1t recalled to his mind a
promise he had made her. She had
gone to see him, and had asked him
to make out for her paper transfer
ring the whole of her property to
person whose name she would not
then give him. He was to prepare
the necessary paper and send it to

A GENTLEMAN in Hartford, Conn,
the other day, obtained access to a
tree for the purpose of fastening a
rope at some distance from the
ground with which to form connec-
tion with an upper window of his
house-the objective point being a
clothes-line. The tree standing on a
neighbor's land, PERMISSION was OBJ
tanned to occupy it. In order to have
no serious obstacles to climbing, the
gentleman stripped down to pants and
shirt and 'harnessed" the tree bare
headed. He made a successful as
cent to an elevation of twenty feet at
least, and was about to tie sailors
knot, when wasp interviewed him.
He dismissed the rope for second.
and brushed the wasp away, and
turned his attention to the rope
again. More wasps arrived sudden
", and several of them stood upon
his head, which is slightly bald,
and he dropped the rope, which was
not vet tied. By this time there were
1870 wasps holding convention
about his person. He thought he
would adjourn, and did, hurriedly,
fairly sliding down the tree, and leav-
ing patches of his trousers along at
intervals to show that he had been
there. Some of the waspS came down,
too, but most of them remained
around the rope, apparently wonder
ing what it was for. There are times
when it is pleasanter to be wasp
than man-"up tree. '-Ne~ York

The Detroit Post closes Il review
of the election returns from Ohio
and Indiana in this wise:
The Democrats are welcome to all
the comfort they can extract from
their victories. 1t results only in
making them eXtravagant in speech
and reckless in conduct, and so in
sures their subsection to Republican
majorities again. They already begin
talk of cOnvulslng the commercial in
terests of the country by destroying
the national banking system, and in
Producing wildcat banking. They
will injure the credit of the country by
their schemes of repudiation and
their war against the financial sta
bility of the nation. But after doing
all possible harm, they will be put
under again, and will wonder what
has become of their grand victories,
and the expected overthrow of their
opponents.
