An operation was performed upon a
patient at the Louisville City Hospital
recently by Drs. Brandels and Wilson,
which is not often attempted, namely,
that of the TRANSMISSION of the blood OF
a sheep into the veins of human be-
ing. The subject of the operation was
a man named Wentley, who was admit
ted to the hospital some time since.
His disease baffled the skill of the best
medical talent in the city, as they were
totally unable to determine the nature
of it. General inanition was what the
resident graduates of the hospital
termed it. A gradual loss of strength
and flesh accompanied by feeble pulse
and difficult breathing were the symp-
toms of his disease. The doctors men
toned deemed the operation that they
had prepared to perform the only
chance to save his life. A young lamb
was procured and bled. The blood was
then deflerinated by DR.. Wilson. Eight
ounces of the blood were then injected
into the left arm. An immediate and
perceptible change for the better was
noticed, and the beating of the pulse
was easily observed. Eight ounces more
were then injected, and the pulse was
observed to beat quite steadily. The
patient was then replaced in his bed
and fed upon beef tea. At 10 o'clock in
the evening, although sill very weak, he
was in q much better condition than on
the morning previous to the performing
of the operation. 1t is not expected
that the patient will recover, though
there is strong probability Of such an
event. Paper.

The disposition of the editors of RI
val unwspapers to indulge in gross and
unseemly personal abuse OF each other
has long been considered a fit subject
for ridicule and rebuke. BY slow but
cure degrees. however, the press Is UNI
dergoing reformation in this respect,
and the average tone Of newspaper CEN
troversy is gradually improving.
Among writers for the press at the pres
ent day there is more attention paid to
what is said by an opponent than to the
personal merits or demerits Of the in
dividual, and the argumentum ad honi-
mem is seldom resorted to ex-
cept in reply TO an assault of the same
nature, or when all other arguments
have failed. The public cares little
about the personality Of the writer, but
analyses what is written. Sound argu-
ment and good advice are none the less
sound and good if the individual offer
ing them has been guilty OF every crime
in the calendar; and wrong will not be
right, no matter how many eminently
respectable personages may assert that
it is.


As we have said, newspaper editors
are learning to discard personalities
in their controversies with each
other, and the peculiarities OF the
Eatauswill Gazette and Independent are
now seldom reproduced. But one OF the
most difficult tasks an editor now has
to perform is to restrain correspondents
within due bounds. 1t is held to be one
OF the inestimable privileges Of an Anne
rican citizen to strike back when he has
been struck; 10 return railing for rail
ing and blow for blow and when the
quarrel has once been begun in news,
parer it is matter of some difficulty to
prt stop 10 it without one
par, or the other thinking himself
agrieved by the editor, and pouring
upon the unlucky head OF the publisher
the vials Of wrath intended for the
original offender.


And now we have a word TO say IN
relation to the unfortunate personal
controversy that has arisen between
several OF our citizens concerning the
proposed subscription to the Pittsburgh,
Wheeling and Kentucky railroad. The
communication signed TX" and pub
Iished in the REGISTER last Saturday
seemed to US sufficiently respectful in
tone, and its statements should have
been corrected without iutlicting upon It's
author the rebuke conveyed in The per-
sonal cards publish ed yesterday morning.
The private character Of the writer had
nothing to do with the statements con-
tanned in ks" communication and
should not have been assailed. This
morning we have ks" rejoinder.
Having admitted the former we could
not exclude this, though we condemn
the one as much as the other. Here
however, the dispute must ce ase in so
far as the newspaper is concerned, and
our advice to all parties is to give no
further expression, either by word or
deed, to the sentiments they seem 10
entertain for each other, until better
acquaintance shall convince them OF
mutual error.

MIR. Cobleigh, of Nelson street, bought
three hens, Saturday night, and put them
under box until he could build a coop.
Sunday morning he saw one of them in the
street, and bestowing brief curse on the
somebody who had overturned the box,
and leopardiZed his property, he started
out after it, to drive it back INTO the yard.
1t took fifteen minutes TO convince him
that that hen could not be dsiven into that
yard, and then he attempted to catch It.
Three times he rose up with his hands full
of feathers, and his chin full of sand, but
still that hen eluded him. Once he got it
cornered, and thought sure he had it, but
1t flew straight up over his head, and flap
ped its wings IN his face, and filed his
eyes with dust. o, how mad Mr.. Cobleigh
was. 1t was Sunday morning. The bells
were ringing, people were starting to
church, and there be was IN the street,
with no coat, or hat on, and with nothing
but slippers on his feet, and every once IN
a while oAe of them would come off and
fly through the air, and his naked foot
would come in contact with the cruel
gravel, before he could stop himself. Then
he would have to hop back on one foot
after that slipper, while the hen stood on
the walk and elocuted, and the little Sun
day school children stopped and laughed,
and their parents reproved them and
laughed, too. Finally the hen got away
from him and started down street at
wonderful speed for hen, and he started
after her, his face redder than ever, and
every time he cleared a rod, he would
stop and hop back two after one of those
slippers. When he reached the corner of
Essex street. he jumped out of both slip
pers at once, but instead Of stopping to
go back, he picked up a stick of wood and
kept on. Then as the hen dedged iato a
gateway he hurled the stick, and broke
the leg of a strange dog, which added its
piercing 'kiyi." to the entertainment. But
Coblelgh didn't stop. BE tole into the
yard after his property, in his bare feet,
and chased his hen into q wood-pile and
caught it, just as the owner of the prem
lses came out and wanted to know what
Cobleigh was going to do with his hen,
and what hes ment, anyway, by getting
drunk and kicking up such hullabaloo
IN peaceful neighborhood. Cebleigh
first thought he would kneck the man
down with an axe, and what he could not
eat Of him bury under a barn, but the
newcomer succeeded in proving to Cob
leigh that the hen was his, and then the
miserable man burst into tears, and limped
back home, where he found the three hens
under the box.

to hear of the organization of ku-klux

affairs there similar to that now existing in

the same passions that inspired the organi-

morality. Through it young men are
becoming blackguards, and maidens forget

pure heart, when the truth is fully realized.

where youth are in the " numerical major

With the personal and local aspects of the

case us it appears to me from a national
standpoint. There are two kinds of politics
one has for its object the elevation OF certain
men TO oftice-the other looks to the uphold.
ing of the great principle upon which the
country has been established. The latter is
the kind in which all good men should have
a common interest. For the past five years
southern Democrats have been left to tioun-
der in the hope that We might ultimately re.
turn TO the old institutions now passed
away while the Republicans have advocated
policy of progress, the Conservative party
is a sort of political Jericho where the weak,

boards are grown. 1t is the Democratic
