BlOOd-Drinkers.

Upon inquiry at slaughter-houses it is
found that there are nearly 200 persons in
the city OF New York who are in the habit
of drinking blood flowing warmly from
oxen for strengthening purposes and for
the cure of certain diseases. A lady is re-
ported to have spoken to an inquirer as
follows:
PROF. Nalpeau, Of Paris, prescribed
blood for me. / was consumptive and
Fastening 10 the grave. 1t has prolonged
my life fifteen years had the utmost re-
pugnance for il at first, but now half
pint of hot blood from well-conditioned
OK is the greatest luxury of my life. My
sisters baby, so far, has been preserved
and nourished with little else but blood. l
know twenty persons who drink it in my
neighborhood to whom recommended it.
1t has extraordinary effects ON some peo-
pie, especially women, but should not be
resorted to unless there is absolute weak
ness Of the system"
On visit of the inquirer to slaughter
house in Tenth avenue, near Forty.second
street, he found delicate-looking woman
with sickly boy holding a glass to the
blood which ran from an OK with its throat
cut. Both drank two or three glasses in
turn, and departed with an appearance of
added vigor One of the butchers was
ssked if he ever drank blood, and is re-
ported TO have replied TO the following
effect:
Shure an do, now; why not, now?
Faith, an We couldn'ttell the differ betwixt
it an milk. IT'S just as swate, shure, an

The proprietor said: "All last winter
we had men, women and children every
morning to drink blood They always i'm

TRIAL or THE WHISKY CASES.

AA1AA 0F 1dE WHISKY CASES.
It il nov very likely that the whisky casos in
the United States District Court will be called
and tried considerably earlier than had before
been supposed possible 1t Has understood By
the District Attorney aud other counsel for the
Government that Judge Biodgett would be like
" to finish his present press Of wor1 and got
around TO the whisky caees about the 2 Nh of De-
cember ut which time panel Of jurymen would
be called for those trials. Not exactly satis-
fed with this de1ny, Mr. Ward has been,
as it we're, cunning for another Judge
to taxe hand in the business be-
fore the District Court, and has captured
Judge Hopkins, OF the Western District OF Wis
cousin. 1t has nos Jet been settled that Judge
Hopkins will consent to take part in tho judicial
proceedings in this District, but il is quite cer-
tain that, whatever he may do. be will not have
anything to do with the whisky trials> That
Was pretty clearly settled by his express
sion OF opinion Friday, when be was
in this city. The District Attorney does
not care go much for this, Is it was not
his intention to have Judge Hopkins preade
1t the whisky trials in any case. His wish in
the matter was, and ls, to induce the legal gen.
tleman from Wisconsin to take Judge Dlod-
gett's seat on the bonch for the hearipg Of the
civil CAUSES, and allow tho latter to call another
jury for the trial OF the whisky cases.
In conversation yesterday Mr. Ward said that
he hoped to bring about this arrangement. and
to make tna agreement with Judges Hopkins
and Blodeett 30 as to call petit jury for the
trials Of the ga1sers, etc, by Dec. 10 or nearly
II this arrangement can be carried out, Judge
Hopkins will occupy Judge Blodgett's present
room, and allow the trials Of civil cases to 60 on
without Interruption. In the meantime Judge
Bodgett will move into the courtroom used By
tho Circuit Court when in session. and, with an
other jury, viii proceed to investigate the cases
Of the gentlemen who have made, rectifed, and
measured whlsLy.
DAN MUM.
The conflicting rumors that have periodically
CONC from st. LoE1s about the Indictment and
arrest OF D. n. Mum, and the further kuowl-
edge that his case Was considered by the late
Grand jury in the United States Court for this
district, led TRIBUNE reporter to attempt to
gather Bomeinfotmation about him yes s:erdaF. It
was learned from authority that some strong
testimony WAS adduced against Mum but that,
while the eVidence was Of a nature to warrant
enough to foun1 ~ Indictment on In the
words Of geutiaman who was present when the
testimony was heard, 1T looked as though
