The labor troubles in Lancashire,
Englaud, which enie by a compromise,
take rank as the greatest struggle be
tween capital and labor which the world
has seen. The campaign lasted cwenty
weeks, involved directly and indirectly
12J, 900 employees, and cos. III loss OF
wages alone 80, 900. Each side was
equally willing at the outset to engage
in test Of strength, and at last they
were Just as glad to call truce with
the hOuOrs even. Great sacrifices have
been endured, with no result, save that
both parties to the conf ct have had all
desire for fight taken out OF then, al
the advantages OF mutual conPronis3
are for the time being fully conceded.
The operatives have in the terms OF
peace conceded just shaie more than
the masters, but there has been really no
victory for either side. The plans agreed
upon for settling future disputes seen
to be the best ever devised thus far.
They assure the necessary stibiIityln the
cotton market by limiting all future
changes to five per cent. at intervals OF
not less than one year.

TRANSMISSION of Blood Not New.

TRANSMISSION of blood as practiced In
surgery is by no means a recent develop
ment in science. Medical records show
it to have been known to the Egyptians,
Syrians and Persians. The Pittsburg
Dispatch regards it as even possible that
the ancients were more successful than
the physicians of recent periods. In tho
Seventeenth Century so many attempts
were made in France, accompanied by
so many failures aud fatalities, that the
Parliament of Paris declared against its
legality. The experiments continued,
however, calf's blood being substituted
for the human. The results were not
encouraging, the physicians not being
aware that the blood of animals injected
into the veins of another belonging to a
different species acted as poison. For
200 years the experiments were discon-
tinued, and then one day, some years
ago, the story of the death OF II young
medical student named Roman 10 Golf,
while trying to save the life OF friend
with his own blood, created great sem
sation. A street in Paris, named after
le Goff, commentaries his brave act.
BY this time the medical men had
learned that to be succ essful the blood
must neither be allowed to coagulate,
nor air suffered to enter the veins with
it. Doctor Rosssel, of Geneva, invent
ed an apparatus which overcame both
the above difficulties. Slnce that time
the experiments have been continued
with remarkable success. Many lives
have been undoubtedly saved by it. An
old empioye Of the Theatre Francais in
Paris, named Dupnitch, has given up
his blood several times to those in need
of it, for which he has been awarded q
magnificent gold medal by the French
Government.

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1893-04-28

Other lines will doubtless be projected
or started during the year, adds the At
lanta Constitution, and the outlook is
certainly full of promise. The figures
quoted show that railway construction IS
fairly active in The South, and they in-
dicate more prosperous state OF at'
fairs than has been supposed to exist. II
it be true that money talks, the millions
invested in these big enterprises should
be regarded as positive testimony OF the
most encouraging nature.

Capt. Wallace Foster wants to have the
American colors flying from every engine
house in the city during Encampment week.
Yesterday he left with the Board of Public
Safety petition TO that effect. From care
full observation among men," he stated, Il be-
leve that the sight of our National flag in
spires them TO vigilance and deeds of valor, aud
makes them more proficient in their duties as
citizen-soldicrs in protecting the homes and
lives of our people. The first week in Septem-
Der is set apart to do honor to the defenders Of
the fag and none of our citizens will be moro
patriotic than our fire laddies,' who are ever
ready to extend the hand of welcome to those
who have fought the fire of Secession and
brought victory and prosperity to our beloved
country. would therefore respectfully appeal
to your honorable board and suggest that our
National flag be unfurled from every fire de-
partment house in the city, that the old SOL
der may sec and feel the inspiration welcome
of 1861 in the sight of the old flag that they de-
Tended and honored with their blood. Let our
Municipal Government warm the hearts of the
old veterans by uniurling our starry flag from
