John V. Farwei.l. the well-known Chicago merchant, has presented all his clerks with a copy of a hook cal lei “(I race “Abounding,” with a letter from himself pasted on the tly leaf.

The Sentinel. contributes its regular weekly article to polite literature in an elaborate biography 01 Mr. "William Koditer, the celebrated citiaeu. of the southern State’s prison at Jeffersonville. It is there in asserted, on behalf of Mr. li.’s mother, that the character of Mr. i tod iter is generally misunderstood by the world; that he is, in fact, ‘‘an amiable young man.” If this be true, that “lovely,” “charnTing,” “delightful” member of society will please accept an apology. We have been among those who had imbibed a sort of prejudice

against the young gentleman.

Those Republican party organs, and those party leaders, in deep distress l>ecause of the ruin brought upon the organization by a- few newspapers which have dared express the opinion that the Tom Murphys, the Delanos, the Caseys, et a!., do not add largely to the reputation of the party with the people, are commended to the course of the National Administration organ toward Vice President Wilson. The “organs” have declared it to be party treason to utter a word against the character of these gentlemen; tiie Washington Republican, published in the savory shadow of the White House, exhausts itself in sneers at Mr. Wilson, solely because t$iat amiable old party has dared to express a kindly feeling respecting the people of the Southern States, going so far as to pay a visit to the death-bed of the Confederate ex-Yice President, Gen. Breckinridge. The last the Republican has to say of Wilson is: “Some of the irreverent newspaper “scribblers couple the names of Vice President Wilson and Sergeant Bates together, “as the great-American-star-spangled-ban- “ ner- b rid ge-t 1 ie-1 >lood v-ch asm-corn- il i at ion“travelers—which is rough on Bates.” Grant is in a spasm of rage and jealousy at the good-natured cobbler of Natick. Wilson is poaching in Grant’s preserves; or, in other words, is fishing for the Presidential nomination in 1876, the thing which Grant conceives himself to ow n in fdf

simple.

Saip Mr. C. F. Hunt, President of the Inter-State Collegiate Association, in reply to Gov. Hendricks’s “oration” at the Academy last week: “The destiny of a soal full of eloquence is

And may the best man win. “A atroKTXR for the Indianapolis Journal has been trying to rake up some solid comfort on the frul estate situation in that city. It will be remembered that real estate in this Hoosier capital was inflated a few years ago to a most ridiculoas extent, and thousands of people lost every dollar they owned in the crxsh which followed. The result of the Journal’s investigation shows real estate to be in a very sorry plight, the operations being confined to taking lots in trade, so that tbe Journal is compelled to remark: ‘Even to this day a haunting suspicion of uncertainty pervades the breast of the uninitiated dealer when he invests bis wealth in Indianapolis

Since ihe Louisville Courier-Journal contracted the hydrophobia, its “lucid inter“vuls of lunacy* are sometimes haunted with distorted phantasies of the overwhelming growth of Indianapolis, and anon with tiie seizure of Robertson county distilleries by the avenging oflicers of the internal revenue. A great deal of fun has been inconsiderately poked, at Indianapolis real estate, some oi our city pipers, in certain instances, assisting in the chorus. Of course, a few men who bought up the prairies and woodlands lying fifteen or twenty miles distant from the court house, and laid them out into “additions,” with seductive sylvan titles, have been badly bitten, as reckless speculators always are. But the truth is that to-day, and throughout the few' weeks of spring we have enjoyed, the real estate business has been better, comparatively, than any other branch of business in the city, while at no season in the history of Indianapolis has there been halt the amount of substantial and elegant building in progress. -In this morning’s Journal is an item to the effect that, in a brief ride yesterday, a gentleman counted 103 buildings in process of erection. It is high time our own papers and people ceased to feed the jealous spirit of Indianapolis, manifested by a few of its senile and garrulous neighbors, with illadvised paragraphs at the “real estate bubble,” and instead fill their columns with the solid facts of our marvelous growth and growing. If that were done, Indianapolis would soon see a redoubled interest on the part of outside capitalists and manufacturers, to first investigate and then to locate within its charmed “concentric cir-

cles.”

i Pt.-patch to the Cincinnati Gazette.]

A^ter repeated denials on the part of Mr. Delano’s friends that any charges had been placed in the hands of the 'President affecting him, the Star, here, prints a statement which was *idely telegraphed last night, and authorized by Mr. Delano’s friends, to the effect that .Secretary Bristow filed the charges with the President about the 6th of April, but they only affected John Delano, and did not corn promise his father According to the story, authorized as complete and accu rate. John Delano, being out of Government employ, proposed t> Mr. Reed, Surveyor Gentrdl of Wyoming, that he (John) might be given an interest in the contract for>urveying lands in that Territory; that he received an interest in the name of another party, and realized $J,300as his share; that Reed’s chief clerk, having been discharged stole some papers in this cage, and gave them to Mr Walcott, United Statess Marshal, who, beiim an enemy of Mr. Reed’s, sent them to Secretary Bristow, and the latter laid them before tbe President, and that the latter did not consider them of sufficient imj>ortance to mention it to Secretary Delano, but sent Gen. Babcock to John Delano to reprove him yet a id caution him about again exposing hjs

father's name to reproach.

There are some further facts which can now be stated in this case. The faefe now proclaimed publicly for the first time by Mr. Delano’s friends, that Secretary Bristow filed whatever charges were made with the President, will be sufficient notice and proof to the country that they were of a grave character. As a matter of course, Secretary Bris tow would never call the President's attention in a formal way to what John Delano was doing in his capacity as a private citizen. * . £l>r. Reed, when here some ten days since, eave quite a different versidn of his dealing with voting Delano from the one now print ed. He said the money which passed to John wasfl loan made him when passing through to Wyoming to meet expenses of a trip to California, he having got out o» funds. The clerk, who, it is stated, furnished the papers in the case bacause he was discharged, was, in fact, not discharged until some time after the papers had been placed in the President’s hands. When Mr. Reed was removed as Surveyor, he came on here, was reinstated, and returned to the

erritory.

_Soon after John Delano was given a certain share in the proceeds of a contract for surveying lands, John, of coarse doing noth-

ing but drawing money.

It can also be stated that the story that Mr. Walcott proposed orsubmitted the statement to General Bristow is altogether manufactured and has no foundation in truth. Lastly, the point in this case which overshadow's all the rest, and really gives the importance which has been attached to it by all aware of the facts, baa been carefully

clear.,

FJJA - JC BLAIK S COSJD1TIUM. Experimewts In Transfusion of Binod [Special cor. Chicago Times, j The medical process known as the transfusion of blood is exciting a great deal of- interest in St Louis, attention having been called more especially to the matter through the recent experiments upon Gen. Frank P. Blair, and the apparently wonderful results attained. Gen. Blair, while filling the unexpired senatorial term of Judge Drake, began to fail in health, ami after the senatorial canvass in the Legislature two years ag% which resulted in the election of Bogy, his powe s seemed to give way almost entirely. His friends obtained for him a sinecure in tbe Superintendency of Insurance in Missouri, and the General has been spending nearly all the time since at the Clifton Springs wa-ter-cure. in New York State*, in the hope of recuperation. His attack was a slow disease of the brain aud prostration of the nervous power, brought on, according to his physicians. by intense mental strain and exertion, coupled with the excessive use of tobacco and stimulant The disease threatened the aradual wasting away of the intellect and the living death of paralysis. Complete relaxation, avoidance of all excitement, careful diet, and the simple tonic of cqld water treatment, were prescribed as the only possible remedies, and'to obtain these Gen. Blair took up his residence at Clifton Springs. Like the rest of his family, Frank I*. Blair was in his time possessed of splendid phisique and an iron constitution. A weaker man would have fallen under tbe burden and abuse ten years earlier. The treatment promised for a time to bring about a restoration of at least partial health. Tbe hope was a delusive one, however, and a year ago the conclusion was forced upon Gen. Blair’s mind that he could never he more than an invalid. It was then that he renonneed the “pomps and vanities.” «nd told his friends that he should never again enter the political arena, aud then united with the Presbyterian church at Clifton. He remained at the cure all last summer and fall, finding temporary relief in tbe treatment. Early in the winter he reached home, a mere wreck of himself as his friends had known him here. A Senatorial contest—the one in whiehLookrell won—was coming on, and Blaii’s old henchmen and allies called on him, looked on his shrunken form, and expressed sympathy, and went away sorrowful, recogn zing that the political giant upon whom was supposed to have fallen the magnetic power of Benton had wasted his strength. ^ Blair lingered along through the winter at his home in this city, gradually failing in strength, physical and mental. Six weeks ago he had sunken so lew as to be unable to recognize his friends or help himself, and he lay helpless day after day. Then was conceived the idea of trying upon Gen. Biair's system the effect of transfusion of blood The family strongly opposed the experiment at first, but after considerable solicitation on the part of the attending physicians, gave a reluctant consent to the test.’ At tbe first experiment between two and three ounces of fresh human blood were injected into the patient’s veins, and the effect was highly satisfactory. He could move his arms, aud even talk a little. Since then twelve ounces in the aggregate have been transferred, and now the General is able to move himself to a considerable extent. There is some bj^in activity, and apparently the man has taken a new lease upon life. The family and other relatives have withdrawn all opposition to the experiments, and are now hopeful of complete recovery. They are, however, morbidly sensitive about the subject, and avoid, us far as possible, all publicity respecting the experiments Two transfusions were made last week, and five ounces of bipod injected. The ill results which attended the first of time two operations, however, demons'rated the necessity of great care in selecting the person from whom the current is to be drawn. The blood was taken and injected, and caused effects upon the General similar to Intoxication. 'Upon investigation the physicians discovered the subject who had furnished the blood had been on a bit of a spree the day before, and with the biood had been transferred some alcohol. It was a clear case^of drunk by proxy. A second transfusion was made in order to overcome the bad effects of the former. Another transfusion will take place this week, to be followed by other experiments as tbe General shall seem

to improve.

Since the encouraging result in this case a number of experiments have been made with others. The most notable one is the cas9 of Edmund Pinero, of a leading law firm, Pogue & Pinero, Mr. Pinero has been completely helpless nine weeks with the rheumatic gout. Ail of his joints had become *0 affected that he was unable to move, and lay day after day suffering untold tortures. Transfusion was tried with him one

.0-, wr ‘- t i ir tbe Lo “don Economist, in 1873, evidently most 5 conversant with this subject, claimed that?dbe industry of the population of Great Britain-at that time taking man for man, was tte*Hy twice as productive as it was in 1850; and I do not think any one can review tbe industrial experience of the United Statfs as a whole since 1860, and not feel satisfied that our average gain fb the power of production during that time, and in spite of tiie war, has not been less than from fifteen to twenty per cent. And if this statement should seem to any to be exaggerated, it is well to "call to mind that it is maiply within tbe last fifteen years that the verv great improvements to machinery adapted to agriculture have come into general use; that whereas a few years ago men on the great plains of the West cut grain with the cradle and sickle, toiling from early mom to dewy eve, in the hottest period of the year, the same work may be done now almost* as a matter of recreation; the director of a mechanical reaper entering the field behind a pair of horses, with gfevts on his bands and an umbrella over his head, and in this style finish the work in one-tenth of the time which twenty men would formerly have required, and in a manner much more satisfactory. I would also recall to you that itk the manufaffure of boots and shoes three men now, with tbe aid of machinery, can produce as much in a given time as six men, unaided, could have done ii 1860; that we have 40,000 more miles of 1 a’Loads new thin we then had to aaist us in the work of exchange and distribution; that we can send our telegrams now for less than half what it actnally cost to do the work In 1866; and finally, taking the Pennsylvania Central Railroad as a type, ihat we can send our freight at an average of 1 48-100 of a cent per ton per mile, as compared with a charge of 2 41-100 on the same road for the same service in 1864. And as a enrions incident of this continued progress. It may be here also noted that the abandonment of large quantities of costly machinery iu most branches of staple manufactures, and Its replacement by new, is periodically rendered a matter of absolute economical necessity, in order to produce more perfectly and cheaply, and at the ssme time avoid the destruction of a much greater amount of capital by Industrial ii-

lures, iransiusion was irieu wirn mm one greater amount or capital by industrial riday last week, his partner,* W. H.

dance of product be made greater.

It is related of Rear;. Mr. Williams, ad old time minister at Dudley, Massachusetts that wben midway iu his sermon on a sultry Sunday te heard the sound of distant tbnnder, he glanced out of the window onoe

In every case fo sar attempted in St. Louis the result has been successful, with a single exception, and then the patient was too far gone, Besides in the selectfen of the donor great care is required in the transfusion that no air is jinjected into the veins of the patient, an almost infinitesimal quantity being

sufficient to cause death.

Tbe Frost fa Cali farm la. [Son Francisco Chronicle,] The lose of fruit occasioned by the recent frosts will be chiefly confined to a few varieties. ' Peaches, cherries, plums, apricots, and almonds have suffered severely in the central part of tbe State, and tbe yield will in most places be light. Pears are almost wholly destroyed in some localities, while in others they have escaped material injury. Apples will be abundant in all parts of the State.
