BANQUET TO DEFEATED CANDIDATE FOR Gov

POLITICAL JOKE THAT ENDED IN JoLLI-
FIcATIoN.
Seldom was more genuine and delightful joke
practised in the midst of political convention torn
by bitterly contending factions than that which the
Robinson men perpetrated at Syracuse, and which
was brought to a most laughabe culmination last
evening by grand formal banquet to General j.
Washington Nixon. of Erie" at the Westminster
Hotel. 1t will be remembered that one midnight in
the midst of that exciting convention. the rumor
was started that John Kelly had. after ALL
triumphed; that Robinson had been defeated; that
the anybody but Robinson" whom Kelly was will
ing to support had been fortunately discovered at
last in the person of "Nixon, of Erie" The name OF
nixon. of Erie" passed round like wildfre. The
Robinson men looked aghast and tho Kelly men
shouted themselves hoarse for Nixon. of Erie"
The widest enthusiasm prevailed in Tammany's
quarters for the great unknown-for nobody knew
who Nixon of Erie" was-and next morning the
Tammany organ of this city duly published. under
startling and exulting headlines. the impending NOM
nation of "Nixon, of Erie" ''Who is Nixon. of
Erie?'" people asked. "Ncver mind who he is" was
the reply of the Tammany braves. hurrah for Nixon
hip hip hip. hurrahl" Nixon was the hero the
day. The only information that could be obtained

age was that he was erich brewer in Erie county"
1t soon turned out that the whole thing was stu
pendous sell, an egregious hoax. o huge joke on
Tammany and Kelly, and that no such person

Ambrose H. Purdy actually undertook to personate
the shadowy and mythical Nixon. The credit for
first inventing Nixon. of Erie. and selling Tam
many in this ludicrous fashion was generally &C.
corded to the Mayors Marshal. John Tyler Kelly.
Yesterday the browning climax Of this joke on Tam
many reached in the grand banquet given to the
mythical Nixon by the hilarious and triumphant
Robinson jokers. Elaborate invitations on satin
paper issued, reading as follows:-

THE TWO BURDENS.

Over the deep sea Love came flying;
Over the salt sea Love flew signing.
Alas, o Love, for thy journeying wings.
Through turbid light and sound of thunder,
When one wave lifts and one falls under,
Love few as bird flies straight for warm
springs.
Love reached the Northand, and found his own;
With budding roses and roses blown,
And wonderful lilies, he wove their wreath.
His voice was sweet as tune that wells,
Gathers and thunders, and throbs and swells.
And fails and lapses in rapturous death.
His hands divided the tangled boughs,
They sat and loved in moist green house,
With bird-songs and sunbeams faltering
through;
One note of wind to each least light leaf:
o Love those days they were sweet but brief
Sweet as the rose is, and fleet as the dew.
Over the deep sea Death came flying;
Over the salt sea Death flew signing.
Love heard from afar the rEsh of his wings,
relt the blast of them over the sea,
And turned his face where the shadows be,
And wept for sound of disastrous things.
Death reached the Northland, and claimed his
own,
With pale sweet flowers by wet winds blown
He wove for the forehead of one wreath.
His.voice was sad as the wind that sighs
Through cypress-trees under rainy skies,
When the dead leaves drift on the paths be-
meath.
His hands divided the tangled boughs
One Love he bore to a dark deep house,
Where never a bridegroom may clasp his bride
place of silence, of dust, and sleep.
What vigil there shall the loved one keep,
Or what cry of longing the lips divide?

of the State they have invaded the whole
land, even on those farms where the most
persistent fight has been made against
them. / remember the first which ap-
peared here, and how carefully my father
destroyed the first little patches and how
he continued his jeolous watch againsss
them as long as he lived. But he lived
to see them spring up in new places all
over the farm, and he came to the con-
clusion (and said so to me) that we can
never get rid of Canada thistles, but if
We are through with them, they will
never do US any serious injury. This I
have verified. They do me now no very
serious injury. Butt know of no way of
getting entirely rid of them. There is
no specific, or sure cure. When I ap-
piled, some years ago, to an old physician
for relief from the neuralgia, he said;
"You had better keep about as well as
you can." In seeking relief from these
pests we must attend to the whole system
of the farm.

comes again in rotation for corn. The
scattering ones which come up we clip

the next year, but after that they will be

TRANSMISSION.

AS log ago as 1859, in story entitled
'The Lifted Veil," George Eliot tells of
wicked women whose agency in a mys-
terios murder was exposed by transfusing
blood into the heart of the just deceased
victim, who revives for a few minutes
under the experiment and denounces the
murderer. A simple way of effecting
this purpose has been revealed by some
recent experiments of Prof. Thomas, of
this city, whose observations or the
intra-venuous injection Of milk has at
tracted the general attention of the med
ical profession. In one of Prof. Thorn
ass cases, the patient was moribund
when the first injection of warm milk
into her veins was made, and the unani-
nous opinion of the assembled physicians
was that death Was inevitable. Life was
prolonged six days by means of five in
jections, varying in quantity from five to
fifteen ounces. From this and other
cases, DIR. Thomas concludes that the
injection of m;lk into the circulation in
place of blood is perfectly safe and
feasible operation, easier to perform than
TRANSMISSION of blood. and of equal eff
cheney in cases of exhaustion from pro-
fuse and repeated hemorrhages. These
experiments are in curious agreement
with those Of DIR. Wulfsberg, performed
on rabbits and dogs in the laboratory of
Prof. Marine, at Gottingen. After bleed
ing the snimals until all movements of
respiration and circulation had ceased,
DR.. Wulfsberg injected milk into their
veins. The operation was instantaneous
ly followed by rythmical contractions of
the heart. and finally by re-establishment
of respiratory movements, and, what is
more singular still, upon their cessation,
after the stimrlant had spent its force,
life movements were excited again by
repeating the injection. Some of the
moribund dogs even barked under the
influence Of the milk. The microscopic
relations of this subject would be of 10
interest to the general reader, but the
fact that the life movements, whether
by excitaticn of the nervous centers or
by direct irritation of the heart, can be
restored alter they have ceased, in
manner at once so simple and so readi-
ly applied, is of the utmost practical inn
portance
