TRANSMISSION of Blood.

The death Of Prof. Van Bure1 will re-
call to the medical profession one of the
most remarkable cases Of the TRANSMISSION
of blood that have ever occurred in this
country, and one which at the time when
the operation was performed attracted
universal attention amongmeu of science.
A poor patient had lain in the hospital
at the island for nearly ten years, slowly
dying of mortal disease of the wasting
and degenerative type. The disease was
one that modern pathology has found
allied to leprosy- equally malignant and
scarcely more durable than its dreadful
relative. The mans limbs were covered
with liberated spots, his fingers and toes
we're useless and had been nearly oblit-
Grated by the disease, and the dorsal
surfaces were marked by large areas of
pigmentation such as occur in leprous
faint. In addition to the original dis
ease, the left lung was deeply excavated
with tubercle, and the man had at most
only a few weeks to live. Uoder the cir
cumstarces, although TRANSMISSION bad
never been tried as a remedy for diseases
of the blood, Prof. Howe decided to see
what could be accomplished by transfu,
sion, and, as first experiment, injected
into the patient circulation between five
and six ounces of undefibrinated blood,
mixed with little ammonia. The effect
was wonderful. Within short period the
liberated surface began to heal; the spots
of pjgmentation began to vanis isb; strength
returned, aud the improvement in every
respect was marked. The TRANSMISSION
which had resulted so favorab]y was re-
peated with equally beneficial conse-
quencee, and such was the attention e1-
cited by it that DR.. Van Buren exhibited
the man to bis class in the medical de-
partment of the University of the City
of New York as new departure in sur
gical science. The operation was after
ward performed in four other cases of the
same kind, complicated with phthisis.
In one of these cases the phthisis had
made such progress that the TRANSMISSION
induced hemorrage of the lungs. In the
other three the improvement was marked
and immediate, though not so extraordl-
nary as in the case shown by DR.. Van
Buren,. who, for the last four years, has
been one of the most steadfast advocates
of the operation, not alone in instances
of exhaustion from loss of blood, but in
cases of wasting disease. The report of
these remarkable cases in the medical
| journals of the day gave new impulse
to the waning popularity Of TRANSMISSION
in Europe, and it has since taken it's
place as q legitimate surgical procedure
among such authorities as TAFT and Lam
genbeck.

Where the Minstrels Get Their Coats.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch1

A well-known merchant tailor, whose
place of business is on Liberty Street,
succeeded his father in business. It
was thirty years or more ago, and
among the stock were 800 fine black
swallow-tail coats, just then going out
of fashion. They were invoiced at a
nominal figure and laid away. About
ten years after, a theatrical agent
dropped into the store one day and
a. ked the cost of making twenty Dress
coats for minstrel organization. The
merchant bethought him OF the 800
stored away, and in twinkle dispos: d
of two score. The news spread amor 6,
theatrical people, and within the ne1t
two years 100 more were disposed c:
Twenty years have passed, and of the
original 800 coats, deemed almost worth
less, but ten remain, and the merchant
has reaped quite harvest. Nearly
every minstrel organization visiting this
city have replenished their stage ward
robes from the stock of coats designed to
grace the society gentlemen of thirty
years ago.

Prince Arisugnwn Explains.

The Japanese Prince Arisugawa is much
annoyed over recent dispatches from Wash.
ington, and in San Francisco yesterday made
tho following explanation: ''The prince re.
mained In Washington only about three deys
and ahalf. He was on his way home, after u
long absence, ana wished to make all possible
haste. His arrangements were made to con-
meet with the steamer City OF Peking, which
is to sail n the 9th instant. The President
did not invite the Prince to dine. President
Arthur called and said he regretted
that His Excellency was not to re.
main long enough TO accept an invitation
to a dinner at tho White House.
NO invitation was actually extended
ON account Of the limited time. In place of a
dinner party trip 10 Mount Vernon was ar
ranged In charge OF the Secretary of State, and
the invitations were all given out by him,
the Prince attending as q guest simply and
not knowing who would be invited to meet
him. He had no thought OF any discourtesy
10 any one. He regrets that such misleading
reports should have been circulated, as he Is
desirous OF doing all in his power to cement
the long standing friendship which has OK.
listed between Japan and the United States.
Owing TO reported coolness between Mr. Fre-
iinghuysen and General Van Buren,, that gen.
tleman Is supposed to have been omitted, but
OF this the Prince had no cOguiZauce."
