THE Polonio family, one of the most
distinguished in Florence, Italy, has been
thrown into great excitement by the mex
plicable suicide of three of Its daughters.
Recently Ma1am Polonio walked till a
late hour with her daughters in the gar
dens of the Place Sipia. The young ladies
seemed in good spirits, and no apprehen-
sions were entertained. The next morning
they did not make their appearance, and
were at last discovered in a small apart
ment suffocated with the fumes of char
coal. The youngest showed faint signs of
life, but shortly afterward expired. The
girls had shown great skill in executing
their sad action. The youngest, aged fl
teen, had, it appeared, made the arrange
ments the night before. A brazier filled
with charcoal was placed in the small
apartment and pile of Goals was near to
be ready to feed the fire. The greatest
mystery pervades the affair, but it is sup
posed the sisters had distorted their minds
by their inordinate reading of wild ro-
mances and works of peculiar theories.
They were in the habit of sitting up at
night for the perusal of these dangerous
volumes and hence their non-appearance
did not at first create surprise on the morn
ing of the fatal discovery.

General Frank p. Blair's rescue
from the jaws OF death, as 1t we're,
by the sim pie process Of the trans
fusion OF blood, suggests unlimit-
ed possibilities for the improve
! ment of the human race. The doc
| tors report that General Blair, al
| ter each infusion Of blood, partook
largely of the nature Of the indi-
vidual from whom the supply of
blood was drawn. For instance
when he received supply of blood
from the arm of healthy indi-
vidual who, unknown to the ply
sicians, had been on a small spree
the day before, the general imme-
diately became very drunk. This
shows that great care should be
exercised In the selection Of the
blood supply. But with this pre-
caution observed, what vast
amount.of good may be accom-
pliShed among our public men +!
Take the case OF Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher to begin with. A
pious monk should be found in
some secluded cloister whose repr
utation for CONTINGENCY is unas-
sailable, 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 Ulys-
SEES s. Grant. For Zach Chandler
tectaller should be found, aud
found right away For Matt Car
penter, the same man who did du-
ty 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 Hal
stead, even though 1t be necessary
to scrapa the country with a fine
tooth comb to find him. And so
on to the end Of the chapter. The
medical profession and the COM
munity at large will learn that this
TRANSMISSION of blood il a big thing.

Bitten by q IsattIcsnaIkc.

John johnson, residing near Sang Run
about 10 miles from Oakland, on Friday
of last week. was bitten on one Of his
fingers on the right hand by a rattle
snake. He was engaged in planting
corn when he was invited to go to
rattlesnake den near where he was work,
ing. Accepting the invitation, he in
company with several others, and follow
ed BY his big dog, proceeded to tho den,
where large snake was discovered,
which was Immediately attacked by the
dog, who was bitten ia the head by the
snake, which took refuge under rock.
johnson then very foolishly placed his
hands under the rock for the purpose OF
unearthing the reptile, which buried its
fangs in his hand. Taking out his pock-
ct kniIe johnson made an incision
around the wound, in order to allow the
venom to run out with the blood, aud
getting on his horse rode rapidly to Oak
land, where be awaited himself Of the
professional services Of DR.. j. Lee Nc Co
mas, and returned to his home entirely
out Of danger.
The dog that had been bitten, died
shortly afterwards, his head swollen to
twice its usual size. Were it not for
the fact that most oftEe venom had been
transluscd into the dog, the wound Of
johnson might havsresulted fatal before
be could have secured medical aid.
