TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD.
From the Pail Mall Rsviev.)

The TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD is a medical
experiment which should only be tried
under the best advice, and even then
times produces distressing results. A
man was, according to one Of the Ameri-
can papers, the other day nearly dead from
consumption, when the doctor, who was
attending him, decided to try the effect of
a transmission of blood. As none of the
mans friends were willing to shed their
blood for his sake, the doctor had no alter
native but to use the mans goat for the
purpose, and accordingly, opening his pa
TENTS arm, injected about two quarts of
the goats blood into the sufferers system.
The man began Immediately to revive, but
his revival was marked by the most disa-
greeable symptoms. No sooner had his
strength returned than he jumped out of
bed, and, twitching his head about after
the fashion of a goat, made q savage at
tempt to butt the doctor. who after the
mans head had been plunged against his
stomach three or four times with the force
of q battering-ram, took refuge in an ad-
joining room, %whereupon the man banged
his head against the door with such vio-
lence that he would have soon smashed
the panels but that his attention was
diverted from the doctor by his mother
in-law, who at this moment entered the
room. One well directed blow from

the mans head foored the unfortunate
old lady, and then, as she lay screaming
for help, he frolicked round her, making
efforts to nibble the green flowers which
formed the pattern of the carpet. At
last he was securely tied down, but
alarmed the whole n~eighbourhood by
his frightful "ba'as" Distressed by
the mans condition, the doctor determin-
ed to undo the evil if possible, and, by
bribing an Irishman who was the mans
servant, procured fresh blood from the
faithful domestic and injected a second
time. The man is now quite well, but
surprises his friends with bis bulls and
speaks with a strong brogue. He has
only once butted since the last "transfu-
sion" On going into Church a few
Sundays ago, one of the remaining cor
puscles of the goats blood got into his
brain and he butted the sexton halfway
up the aisle, recovering himself, however,
in time to apologize just as the indignant
sexton was about to floor him with a

and which was "to maintain order by its sole
upitv. and be the rock against which the waves
of n.rties would ~infallibly bs broken" 1t
was. therefore, also, that he voted for two
Chambers 80 as to prevent the otherwise
inevitable collision between a president and
an Assembly sovereign like himself" The
words we have italicised show that the Orlean-
lists did expect to see the Presidents chair
changed into a throne. In Paris, one set OF
politicians think the action of the Princes an
Acknowledgements Of defeat, and another section
q bid for the one office in France higher than
a seat in the Assembly. The second interpre-
tstion seems to US the more probable.
Have we still among us people who believe
that by having v~aluables buried with them
thew get a better chance Of carrying them out
of the world into the spiritual state OF exist
ence A Yorkshire squire, Squire Hawley,
who lived at Hatfield, near Doncaster, seems
to have thought so, for he left the other day
his whole fortune to his groom, on condition
that he (the testator) should be buried IN
hunting costume, with whip and spurs with
bis pony and his dog, which were shot for
the occasion,-the pony ready saddled and
bridled,-in his own ground, amongst the
graves of the slaughtered oxen which had
fallen sick of rinderpest. If the groom did
not strictly fulfil the conditions, the fortune
was to 90 to the Roman Catholics but the
groom did fulfil them, and tho Roman Catho-
lie priest conseorated the ground IN which
the grave was made before buryiDg the squire.
Clearly those eccentric provisions were not
meant to provide against any possible neglect
Of the pony and dog in future, for that would
not account for the burial of the bride and
saddle and whip and spurs, or Of a fox which
was also buried with the squire. 1t looks very
like the remains Of the old, wild superstition
that what goes with you into the grave passes
on with you into the immortal state,-a strange
survival of genuine heathenism.
The burning Of the training-ship Goliath at
Grays was due to the upsetting Of q parathn
lamp, which, contrary to the regulations, was
allowed on board, but the inquest brought
out facts most favorable to the superior officers
and the boys themselves. The very boy
who dropped the lamp flung his clothes on
the fire, and then sat on them till the flame
burnt him. On the alarm being given, the
boys ran to their stations as steadily as sea-
men, and some Of them who were in a barge
by the side of the ship, and were frightened
by the flames, were held to their duty by a
lad Of 13, named Bolton, who had just recelv-
ed a watch as a prize for being the popular
boy" and who insisted on keeping the barge
fast till every boy was safe. Several other
boys begged the captain, Staff Commander
Bourchier, to escape, saying he would be
burnt, but he only told them, "That is not
the way at sea" and was the last to leave the
ship. The boys express the deepest dislike to re-
turn to the warehouses, and we are happy to per-
Cieve that the Admiralty have offered the
'Conqueror' to replace her. Nearly 10000
will, however, have to be found by subscriP-
tion to fit her.

SECRET History OF AN EscAPE.-Al-
though nc trace has yet been found by
the New York police of the missing Tweed,
yet the reasons which prompted him to
escape are no longer a secret. On the
first news Of his flight every one was
puzzled to guess why the iIIustrious cap
tive should take the trouble to run away.
He had every comfort that the most tender
consideration on the part Of his gaoIers
could suggest. He was allowed to dine
out, to drive ADD walk about the city, to
entertain his friends, and, in fact, he was
treated in prison more like a distinguished
guest than a detected thief. It seems,
however, that he still had vast possessions
which were gradually melting away, in
the shape of fees to the lawyers ever en-
gagged in fighting justice on his behalf,
and who proved themselves by their zeal
and ability fully equal to the combat.
Tweed, it is confidently stated, fled not
from his gaoler8, but from his lawyers.
To them his loss is irreparabIe, and the
utmost sympathy is expressed fer them in
the bereavement they have sustained

THE EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUs.-The ex-
pertinent Of planting this tree in the I'M
healthy Campagna OF Rome with the OBJ
ject of destroying the influence Of the
miasmatic exhalations from the ground has
been tried for several years, particularly
in the locality Of the Monastery of ST..
Paul Trois Fontaines, where a priest
named GiIdas has had the plants under
cultivation. In some communications adj
dressed to the SOciete d'Acclimatation de
Paris, NJ, GilJas states that the trees have
thriven, and that he believes they have
given indications OF their power in arrest
ing disease, though as yet they are not
sufficiently numerous to produce much
effect. The most important statement
made by him, however, is that a decoction
made from the leaves of the tree possesses
valuable properties in cases OF fever, and
that many persons have been cured of
that disease by drinking the "eIixir,"
which is also a preventive of fever. A
similar preparation of the leaves in the
form of a powder is also made, which has
the advantage Of keeping COOL longer
than the decoction. The merits of the
discovery Will be placed under the NOTICE
of the medical profession, and a more re-
liable report will probably soon be made.

At Lawrence. Mass, on the evening of the
18th. Frank Tracy, aged IS, of Albany, N.
Y, was arrested on suspicion of being a
woman in male attire. An examination, at
his request, proved the prisoners statement
that he was as good man as any of them.
True, his appearance and action are the per.
feet resemblance Of woman, and no one
seeing him would fail to denounce him as
did the officers. His height is medium, com.
the exact form of woman, his waist meas
uring but % inches. Every motion is that
of lady, and the least mention of his pc.
culiar appearance brings blush to his cheeks.
He has woman's voice. which in singing ID
. pure and full soprano, and accompanying
himself upon the organ, he sings finely. He
declares that he has been arrested more than
ffty times in various cities on the supposi
ton that he was woman.
