TRANSMISSION of Blood,

General Frank P. Blair's rescue from
the jaws of death, as il were, by the simple
process Of the TRANSMISSION of blood, sug-
gests unlimited possibilities for the i'm
provement of the human race. The doc
tors report that General Blair, after each
infusion, partook largely of the nature of
the person from whom the supply of blood
was drawn. For instance, when he receiv-
ed supply of the life fluid from the arm
OF healthy young man. who, unknown to
the physicians, had been on a small spree
the day before, the general Immediately
became very drunk. This shows that
great care must be exercised in the selec
ton of the blood supply. But with this
precaution observed, what vast amount
of good may be accomplished among our
public men! Take the case of Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, to begin with. A pious
monk should be found in some secluded
clolster, whose reputation for CONTINGENCY is
unassailable, and Mr.. Beecher's veins
should be filed periodically with the cool
blood of the anchorite. The blood of a
gentleman should be infused into the veins
of Ulysses S. Grant. For Zach Chandler,
teetotaler, with an undoubted character
for sobriety, should be found, and found
right away. For Matt Carpenter, the
same man who did duty for Beecher would
serve, unless the strain ON him was too
great The blood of almost anybody
would make an improvement in John, A
Logan. A modest man should be selected
for Murat Halstead, even though it be
necessary to scrape the country with fine
tooth comb to find him him. And so on
to the end of the chapter. The medical
profession and the people at-large will
learn that this TRANSMISSION of blood is big
thing. There's millions in it.-Chicagd

The Bloody Shirt" Business Played

Ihe BLOODY Sh1rt BUSINESS "F1aysd.
From the New York Tribune,
It grows more and more evident every
day that the reign of the bloody shirt is
ended, and that the party which hopes for
success in the next national campaign must
find more popular issue than that of
fighting the war over again. The extreme
ly sensible speech of exPresident Jeffer-
son Davis at Houston last week has had
an excellent effect at the North. The Uti-
ca Herald says truly of it Tits the duty
Of every loyal citizen to accept the words
of Jefferson Davis as uttered in all SINGER
ity, and as representative of the revived
patriotism of the whole southern people.
1t should be the regret of all, that the day
of such an understanding has been post
poned so long We are fast drawing near
to another great presidential campaign.
Certainly the hatred and the bitterness
which have followed their introduction in
to former political canvasses will have no
proper place in those of the future. There
will be no ku klux to convince the north
ern voter that the new war is worse in its
crime than the one which preceded it,
There will be no Force BILL to compel the
southern people to think that the north
meant only repression and violence, when
it promised complete and perfect restora-
ton to the Union. There will not even
be Louisiana, if we may trust present in
dications. to compel the belief that there
is no virtue among public men of either
side in the southern states. Eliminating
all these features fhom the canvass before
us, and we have abundant assurance that,
whatever its event, it will be followed by a
closer fellowship between north and south. y

Climate and Race Pcculiarities

DIR. Livingstone, the celebrated Afri-
can explorer, in his Researches in
South Africa" cxplodes very thorough
~ the hypothesis often urged, that eli
mate is the only cause of difference in
the various families OF the human race.
In the vicinity Of the Cape of Good
Hope, in Iransvasl and Natal. are large
settlements of white people, mostly far
mers, whose ancestors went to Africa
from Holland over two hundred wears
ago. OF these colonists Dr.. Livingstone
says: Two centuries of the South AT
ricGn climate have not had much effect
upon the physical condition of the Bo-
ers. They are n shade darker, or rather
ruddier than European, and are never
cadaverous-looking. as descendants Of
Europeans are said to be elsewhere"
The immediate neighbors of these
white people are called Bushmen. who
are nomads Of the desert. They never
cultivate the soil, nor have any domes-
tic animal, except wretched dogs. They
live on game when they get it, which is
eted out by what the women collect of
roots and beans and fruits of the desert.
They also eat locusts, caterpillars.
snakes and other vermin. The original
fig leaf of the garden of Eden was full
costume to what some of them wear
They are of low stature, and somewhat
like balloons in appearance.

Interesting Facts.

The organ of vision is considered the
most delicate organization Of the human
frame yet many who were born blind
have been enabled to see by surgical
operations, and the following il an in
teresting fact concerning one Of that
class:
A youth had become thirteen years Of
age, when his eyes were touched by a
surgeon. He thought scarlet the most
beautiful color black was painful. lie
fancie1 every object touched him. and
he could not distinguish by sight what
he perfectly we'll knew by feeling; for
instance, the cat aud dog. When his
second eye was touched, he remarked
that the objects were not so large in ap-
pearance to this as the one opened at
first. Pictures he considered only part
ly-colorcd surfaces. and miniature ab-
soiutely astonished him, seeming TO him
like putting bushel into pint.
Stanley. the organist, and many blind
musicians have been the best perform

IN England could discover that the boys
we're playing i'm n distant corner of the
room, instead Of studying, although a
person using his eyes could not detect
the slightest sound.

LIME WATER FOR BURNs.-It is said
that the readiest and most useful reme-
dy for scalds and burns is an embroca-
ton oflime water and linseed oil. These
simple agents combined form thick.
cream-lile substance, which effectually
excludes the air from the injured parts,
and allays the Inflammation almost in
stantiy. lie mentions q case where II
child fell backward into n bath.tlb OF
boiling water, and was nearly fayed
from her neck TO below her hips. Her
agonies were indescribable but her
clothing gently removed, and the lime
and oil preparation thickly spread over
the injured surface, she was sound asleep
in five minutes. Subsequently the
parts were carefully washed with warm
milk and water three times day, the
oil dressing renewed, and the little pa
tient rapidly recovered. Though all the
scalded skin came off, she did not have
scar. This remedy leaves no hard
coat TO dry on the sores. but softens the
parts, and aids nature TO repair the in
jury in the readiest and most expedi-
tious manner This mixture may be
procured in the drug stores but If not
thus accessible, slake n lump Of quick
lime in water, and a. soon as the water
is clear, mix it with the oil and shake it
we'll. If the case il urgent, use boiling
water over the lime, and Il will become
clear in five minutes. The preparation
may be kept ready bottled in the house
and it will be rs good six months old as
when first made.

How TO RAISE PLUMs.-There Is n
secret about plum-raisiug. Wehave dis
covered it in travelling over the coun-
try, We never visited a large plum or
chard in our life that we did not find
plenty of fruit. And we never visited
any place with eight or ten trees, and
found a crop of this fruit. Now, these
facts set us to thinking; and the result
of our thoughts is this: that It is easy 10
have all the plums you want to eat and
to sell. The secret connected with plum
raising is to plant plenty of trees, so as
to give fruit to the curculio and to your
self also. If you plant fifty or hun
dred trees, you viii have fruit enough
for everybody. Every such orchard
that we ever visited had plenty OF ripe
fruit. Some even complain that the cur
culio did not thin out the fruit enough
that the trees were overloaded. SO
we say to our readers. if you plant
piums at all, plant fifty or one hundred
tress--then you will be sure TO have ell
