We find in THE DALLAS WEEKLY
HERALD of the Sd instant, lengthy
article, under the above heading, which
meets our views so fully that we are
tempted to adopt it and republish it
without giving credit to that valuable
and ably conducted journal. We un-
hesitatingly endorse that article in
which THE HERALD has come nearer
doing full justice to the character and
past services of Governor Throckmor-
ton than any other paper in the State
that we have read. Quite number of
the newspapers i'm different portions of
the State have spoken very favorabiy
of Governor Throckmorton in connec-
ton with the United States Senator
ship, to fill the approaching vacancy
of Senator Flanagan's seat in the Uni
ted States Senate, whose term, we be-
lieve, expires Oh the 4th of March, 1870,
but none of them have gone fully into
the details of the Governors past SER
vices to the people of Texas as The
HERALD.


In every capacity as public servant
of the people; from a Representative
from his own county in the State Leg
islature, up to the highest position
within the gift of the people of his
State, and in every position of public
trust the people have placed him he
has shown great ability, fidelity ana
unfiinching integrity, added to all his
other qualifications, his long expert
ence as a legislator, eminently qualities
him for the position of United States
Senator; in short, we candidly believe
that Governor Throckmorton, from his
long residence in theState and his inti-
mate relation with the people of Texas,
as a public servant, could and would
render more valuable service to his
State in the Senate of the United
States than any of the distinguished
gentlemen whose names have been
used in connection with that high and
responsible position.


We have not the space, nor do we
feel that we possess the ability to do
full Justice to his worth and ability as
a patriot and statesman; aud will close
by again calling the attention of our
readers to the able and truthful article
before referred to in THE HERALD of
the Sd instant, and hope that every
true friend of Governor ThrockmortOn
will use their influence with their Rep
resentatives i'm the Legislature to give
him their support for that position
whenever the time shall arrive to 60
into the election,

We have said on several recent occa-

and felicitous opportunity to remove
mighty weight of public prejudice, and,
to some extent, to win the respect of
bitter opponents. All he had to do
was to act as an honest man-repudi-

Few and simple are the topics announced

three faithful pastors who hold on to their

than ordinary praise. Here, amid the heat

duty and chiefest joy in ministering, Sabbath


after Sabbath, to the Church of the Strangers.


before whom this morning he will hold up


Christ as the Alpha and Omega of all their
hopes in the life beyond the present. Rev.
james Kennedy, another faithful shepherd


who will not trust his Presbyterian flock to
strangers nor let them wander alone while he
enjoys himself on mountain or seashore. has
promised this evening to let them see
some of the glory Of sThe Rainbow
About the Throne and show them its
spiritual meaning for their encouragement in
faith and hope and love. DR.. Lockwood will
help some Of his Brooklyn Congregational
hearers this morning TO solve 'erhe Great
Problem" and to solve it in such way, we
trust, that they shall never want to 90 over
the same ground again. The problem of this
life is great one, but that of the hereafter is
o much greater one, the solving of which
should receive, as it demands, our best
thought and most precious moments. Heaven

imaginative minds especially like to speculate

Premier sees through the murky atmosphere
such evidences of gathering war cloud
as to prompt him to utter the words
of warming he has twice spoken In
the British Parliament The "dark agen-
cies'' to which as Minister he alludes arc
explained by his less guarded utterances as an
aspirant to power. During the last Parla-
mentary canvass he predicted that the Church
of Rome would unite with the democracies Of
Europe to overthrow The established govern
ments; that in England, as well as on the
Continent of Europe, the influence and power
and wealth of the Church would be thrown
on the side of the people to topple
over tottering thrones and to build up
republics on their ruins. The disestablish-
ment of the Church in Ireland was to be fol-
lowed by disestablishment in England. Rome,
from the Italian Republic restoration of
those rights of which she had been robbed by
the Italian King. Germany, with its eighteen
millions of good Catholics was to bury the
unprincipled intrigues of Bismarck beneath
the ruins of the proAigate and oppressive





the Church of Rome was to be rehabilitated in
her temporal powers and strengthened in her
spiritual influence.


Is the author of s.Lothair" dreamer, or is
the Prime Minister Of England q prophet?
Is the danger to the thrones of Europe,
already undermined by the increasing intelli-
gence of the people, fgment of disturbed





ally powerful enough to make monarchies
tremble? Many will find plausibility in Dis
raeli's theory from the fact that the Church
of Rome must have learned the wisdom of the
caution, "Put not your trust in princes" !"
But, whether the English Premier be right OF
wrong, his significant words will cause people
to reflect and are likely to create the belief
that the war cloud SO many see in the Euro
pean sky is not looming.

HE AGGRESSIVE 1NDIANs.-From the de-
spatches published elsewhere it will appear
that the present trouble with the Sioux is very
far from approaching an advantageous termi-
nation. They only wait upon opportunity be-
fore they repeat again and again their savage
depredations, and the absence of an adequate
military force in the country which tlscy are
now overrunning emboldens them to indulge
in unlicensed effrontery and cruelty. Friendly
tribes have lent some protection to the settlers,


but their aid is somewhat erratio and often
treacherous. and it is not to be fully relied on

A highly interesting and delicate sur
gical operation was performed in this
city by DIR. J. G.. Orton, assisted by DIR.
A. Comstock and E. N. Gillespy, upon
Marcellus A. Hayes, aged twenty-eight
years, who had been suffering from dis.
ease of the lungs during the past four
years, and had become much cmaciated
and enfeebled. The operation known as
the direct TRANSMISSION of blood from a
healthy animal to the human subject
having been agreed upon, DIR. Orton pre-
pared an apparatus which, though simple
in its construction, was well adapted for
the purpose, securing safety to the pa
tient, and facility in the execution of
the delicate operation. A healthy six
months lamb, having been securely in
closed in sack, was placed upon table
by the side of the patients bed, and the
carotid artery exposed for about two and
half inches and ligature applied to
this, arresting the blood current About
two inches below this strong pair of
forceps were applied, which securely
compressed the artery. A small opening
was then made in the section of the YES
sci thus secured, and small glass tube
of about one-eight of an inch bore, three
inches long, slightly bent was inserted,
and the artery carefully tied to it by a
strong silk ligature. To the other end of
the glass tube was attached some twelve
inches of elastic tubing, to the other ex-
tremity of which was secured another
glass tube, similar to the one Just de-
scribed.


The vein usually opened in venesection
at the elbow was now exposed by dissec-
ton for about one inch, and compress
and bandage applied around the arm be-
low the inci.ion. A small opening was
made in the vein exposed, and funnel
shaped glass tube inserted into it and the
vein secured to it by a ligature. This
funnel-shaped tube thus arranged was
filled with a weak solution of soda in
water at the temperature of SO degrees.
In order to determine the amount of
bleod to be transfused, the blood from
the lamb was allowed to flow through
the tube into graduated glass, four
seconds being required to obtain an
ounce of blood.


Everything being now ready, the for
ceps upon the lambs artery were relaxed,

tubes and the blood flowed briskly, the
fore end of the glass tube was inserted
into the one connected with the vein Of
the patients arm, and Immediately the
pure blood of the lamb coursed freely in
to the system of the sick man. BY tim
ing the flow it was estimated that eight
ounces Of blood were thus introduced.


The patient experienced at the termi-
nation of the operation a peculiar
warmth over the whole body, and sem
sation of fullness; this was succeeded by
a slight chill, and this was soon followed
by decided reaction, his pulse becoming
full and slightly accelerated. During
the remainder of the day and up to last
reports, the patient continued to feel
very comfortable, and is encouraged to
think that he will derive permanent
benefit from this novel operation to
which he had voluntarily submitted
himself-Binghamton Times.

A few days since, in going into nay
back yard, where fresh-killed pig had
just been hung up, man who knew /
was curious i'm such matters, said,
"There, now, there's the mark as Satan
made it in the herd Of swine before they
ran down the cliffs into the sea-" point
ing to five dark marks on the skin of
the inside of each fore-leg. On my
questioning him, he answered me he had
never seen pig without them Q have
since looked at five, and they had the
same); and he said the tradition was
that all swine had them ever since the
casting out of the devils which destroyed
the herd in the sea. My queries are,
does this mark always exist? how do
anatomists account for it?-Notes and

The fashion report in recent number
of the Hearth and Home, New York;
closes as follows


"The fashions of the day are really
such as no sensible, quiet, modest woman
can wear. Apart from the waste and the
cost, the glittering beads, the Norwegian
belts linked with metal, the hats turned
up high on one side, the ridiculous little
pockets-now worn at the back, so that
there shall be no pretense of usefulness
the clasps, the pendants, the savage fnery
of every description, make them look
more as if they were tricked out for
masquerade or a raree show than like
women whose lives are filed with mani
fold duties. This question of dress is as
suming daily more serious aspect, and
it is time for intelligent women TO de-
eide whether they shall give their time,
strength and means to every whim and
vagary, or adopt some fixed ideas and
principles which will save them from be-
ing carried away by every foolish breath
and caprice of fashion, and give digni-
nifty and strength to conduct and char
acter which now women seem TO have
lost altogether.

RECEIPT FOR GLUE FOR READY USE
To the quantity of glue use common
whisky instead of water. Put both to-

tiOn of heat. 1t will be found useful and
handy article in every household.


CHINCH BUG PREvENTIvE.-Atam meet
ing Of the Illinois Horticultural Society,
DIR. LIE Baron recommended single line
of tar on the ground, the chinch bug not
crossing it /; and Prof Riley said that salt
and lime are both good preventives. He
strongly recommended clean culture, and
burning all rubbish in autumn, and said
that most of the bugs would be found in
the cornstalks.


CHAPPED HANDs-The easiest and
simplest remedy is found in every ones
kitchen closet, and is nothing more than
common salt. Reduce it to an impal-

you take your hands out of the dish
water or suds wipe them dry with a soft
towel, and while yet damp, shake the
starch bag all over them and rub it in.
The effect is most agreeable.


CHICKEN CRoQUETs.-Cold chicken.
chopped parsley, little cream, grated
cracker, lemon favoring, salt, pepper,
mace. Cut the chicken very fine. Season
it with salt, pepper, and mace. Add a
good deal of chopped parsley. Moisten

A NEW potato, known as the white

The number of horses kept upon a
farm is said to be a good index Of the
amount of labor applied to the soil.
When we read therefore that ten to four
teen horses are required upon "mixed"
farm of three hundred to five hundred
acres in England, with the useful pro-
portion of its area in grass, the reflection
is suggested that in our agriculture too
little attention is given to the cultivation
of crop.


NEVER boil coffee. The reason is that
not only the better part of it (the ex-
hilarating) escapes, but that the extrac-
tive properties, which, if largely used,
are unhealthy, are alone present. Bring
up to the boiling point, but do not boil.
You thus get sufficient of the extractive
matter to give body, retaining all the
volatile, healthy, and relishing prop
critics.


To mend chinaware take very thick
solution of gum-arabic, and stir into it
plaster of paris until the mixture is of a
proper consistency. Apply it with a
brush to the fractured edges of the china

article in the same place. The whiteness of
the cement renders it doubly valuable.


THERE is rarely, if ever, any need of
using soap on the face, except for very
dirty people, or where there is much oil
secreted by the skin. Pure soft water is
generally quite sufficient. AS rule,
avoid the very free use of soap on the
skin, except the mildest kinds. Face
powders Injuries the skin, just as dirt does,
by obstructing the pores. If there is any
poison in the face powder, as there often
is, it only adds poison to dirt, and makes
the matter so much the worse.


Miss SwIssHELM advises ladies to
sponge themselves well with alcohol and
water twice day. We would be glad to
know whether the alcohol is to be taken
externally or internally; also, whether
the water might not be omitted. Per.

McGoodwin was in the habit of using
brandy for his badness. He would rub
the stuff on his scalp to make the hair
grow, and then would put some on the
inside to clinch the roots.

IT is said that the brain of an idiot
contains about one per cent. of phosphoric
matter, that of persons of sound intellect
81 per cent, while that of the maniac 81
per cent. If this be so, it would seem
that in maniac the brain appropriates
an undue proportion Of phosphoric mat
ter from the rest of the system, whereby
its functions are materially impaired.
