10000 PICTURES OF SHERMAN.
A Suggestion That They be Turned over
to Blaine.

a Suggestion That They be Turned over
to Blaine.
Somewhere among the political assets
Of John Sherman, says a Washington let
ter to the New York Sun of
April 9, are ten or twelve thousand
copies OF autographed portrait Of the
great financier. They were obtained by
the Sherman Literary Bureau four years
ago with a view to "billing the town." as
is the custom Of Mr.. Haverly and other
theatre managers. This brilliant idea is
said to have been suggested by Col. James
II. O'Beirne. Of New York, who was then
a special agent Of the Treasury Depart
ment, engaged in Sherman's interests. 1t
was O'Beirne's plan to place one Of these
portraits, handsomely framed, in the Win
dow Of every shop, store and saloon in
Chicago, but it was vetoed by Gov. Foster
and otter Of the Sherman managers on the
ground that the Secretary of the Treasury
was not travelling on his shape, but on his
financial record. So the portraits were not
used, and Mr.. Sherman has not since been
able TO realize on them.
1t is suggested, as the Danyille inyesti-
cation has entirely failed to arouse a boom
for Sherman, and as Blaine is making
Roadway in Ohio very fast, that these
Autographs be sturned over to a compe-
tent bill poster to be pasted upon the
barns, school houses, and in other con-
spicuOus places In Mr.. Sherman's native

TRANSMISSION FOR CONSUAP-
TION
The Experiment of a Young Surgeon in
a Hopeless Case-Not Entirely New.

The Experiment of Young Surgeon in
Hopeless Case-Not Entirely New.
An enthusiastic young surgeon in this
city, says the New. York Sun, has intro
dueed novel treatment for pulmonary
consumption, or tuberculosis, for which
a great future is predicted by his admir-
ers. His first experiment was undertaken
four months ago, in the case Of a young
man Of q. the only son Of wealthy dry
goods dealer, who was so far gone with
the disease that medical consultation had
pronounced recovery hopeless, and death
only question Of a few weeks. The
remedy consisted in the repeated transfu-
sion from the arterial system Of healthy
young man, who consented to act as do
nor. OF from four TO six ounces Of fresh
blood, according to the method styled ar
terio-venous. The patient was so exceed
ingly feeble when the first transfer
was undertaken that only four ounces
were transfused. in consequence Of the
disturbance Of the action Of the heart that
Immediately ensued. The recrudescence
Of the vital energies was, however. extra
ordinary. From the date, almost from the
moment Of the experiment the patient be-
gan to improve. The tendency to emacia-
ton disappeared and the pulmonary
symptoms were greatly reduced in seyeri-
". Relish for food returned and the neT-
vous prostrati0n was greatly relieved.
Three weeks later the operation was re-
peafed, with six ounces of blood, the
method employed being that Of Prof. JO-
| seph W. Howe, the leading advocate Of
TRANSMISSION in the United States. The re-
suits Of the second experiment were more
encouraging than those Of the first. Three
| transfusi0ns have now been undertaken,
and the young man is now improving so
rapidly, both in general health and local
| symptoms, that the young surgeon is con-
| fdent OF success without another resort
I to the TRANSMISSION syringe.
The idea is not a new one" he re-
| marked, in response to a request for in
| formation. ''Dr. Howe was the first to
| try TRANSMISSION in a desperate case Of tu-
! bercular consumption with such success
| that tlsa late Prof. Van Buren, exhibited
| the patient to his class in clinical lee
| ture, at which 1 was present, and de-
scribed the operation. / firmly believe

THE THETIs AND THE BEA


Preparations at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard for the Greedy Relief Expedi-
ton.
At the Brooklyn navy yard, says the
New York Herald 454 workmen are en-
plOyed in fitting out the steamers Bear
Thetis which are to 20 on the Greedy re-
lief expedition. Commander Schley Is
giving personal supervision to the work
on the Thetis. which is now in the dry
dock. The clutch coupling of the propeller
shaft Of the Ihetis was found cracked last
saturday, and it is necessary to forge and
fit a new one. New decks are being put
on and extra thwartship and diagonal
braces are being put in, and her cabin
quarters for crew are being fitted up in
the same manner as have been those of
the Bear.
Captain Emery said yesterday: MY
vessel, the Bear, is nearly ready for sea.
We are completing the boats. and when
we get the coal and provisions ready we
shall start for st. John. Y. F.. and after
taking in more coal there, will proceed
north, hoping TO reach Disco by the mid
die Of May. We shall sail from here on
April a, and the Thetis will follow ten
days later.
In the several departments Of the navy
yard everything IS hustle in getting
things ready for the expedition. Besides
the provisions, the snow shoes and the
Alaska stockings in the paymaster's
building, men are at work cutting the
clothing to be made from reindeer and
seal skins. In the Equipment Depart
ment the carpenters are building the
sledges. which are to be made with double
runners, and are Of various sizes. to be
drawn by dogs and by hand.
The steam launches, one for each YES
sci. are provided with a combination joint
on the screw shafts so as to raise the
screws from the water in case Of danger
from ice. The condenser for making fresh
water for drinking purposes and for the
feeding of the boilers is pipe running
along the bottom Of the boat parallel with
the keel. For the other boats sled runners
have been made so as to be attached and
detached at any time, and for some Of the
boats the runners will be attached perma-
nently.

Two little Icelandic boys went into an
auctiOneer's mart, near the Potter House
and BACKED the prOprietor's boots. He
asked them their nationality, and finding
out that they were Icelanders, he ex.
pressed his surprise, having thought them
Germans. He requested the boys in his
turn to tell him what they thought his
nationality to be. The two boys hest
tated and hung their heads. 1t was evil
dent that they disliked to express an
opinion upon the matter. But the worthy
putter uD and knocker down of merchan-
disc pressed them. At last one of the
lads, after saying that he did not like to
tell, aaid: II think your father was an
Irishman and your mother a squaw." The
auchoneer is puzzled yet to know what
his nationality really is.

Mr.. Tilden, in his letter to the IroquOis
club. saws that he can no longer aspire to
be a leader in the great work of reform
which he 50 clearly maps out. This is
the first authoritative announcement that
he is not a Presidential candidate, and
that he will not permit his name to go
before the convention. 1t ought to be
sufficient to convince everyone that Mr..
Tilden does not regard himself as physi-
cally able to undertake the arduOus duties
which Presidential campaign would
force upon him. At no time
lately, perhaps, have those who have been
in a position to be inteIiigently informed
believed that Mr.. Tilden would be a can
didate before the convention. Some Of
them. however, have insisted on urging
his nomination for a purpose which they
steadily kept and still keep in the back
ground. When Mr.. Tilden gets ready TO
say over his own signature ''Iour candi-
date / cannot be-" it is probable that this
purpose will be developed.
