For the month of October, 1880, Prof. Tice, the weather prophet, makes the following forecast: 1st to 3d, clouding, threatening weather, with heavy locil storms; 3d to 5th, clear or fair and cool; 5th to 8th, clouding weather and local

rains; 8th to 10th, clear or fair and cool; J °P cra h |,n of the transfusion of blood was

This result must bo very near, although some towns are not official, and the Democratic State Committee (although their tables are not complete) agree that they will come out very near this. Although these figures are from the official returns the official canvass of them is not made until the Legislature meets in January, and only that body takes cognizance of

errors in them.

It would take some person with keener discernment than the average mortal to find out to a dead certainty the result of tho .Maine election. The political managers and the newspapers on both sides ■claim victory with a fortitude commendable were it not that there is a lie out. On Wednesday among the dispatches received, were the following, flatly con•tradictory of each ether. Here is one of them: “Our footing by counties gives Davis 73,579, 1’Iaisted 73,389, scattering 475. Davis over I’laistetl, 190. There ar6 seven towns or plantations to hear from. Resides the uncertainty about the votes of towns yet to ho received in determining the result, there is a possible gnd probable inaccuracy of some of the figures already given; also, questions about other inaccuracies appear in the returns, all of which, with the close vote render the result so doubtful that it cau only be determined by tho official canvass of tho returns at the opening of the

Legislature.”

The other one is as follows: “All but one town, Sheridan, is received, proving a plurality of 176 for Davis, less 20, which Sheridan gave the Fusionists last year. Hut a partial comparison wade with the returns made to the Secretary of State show errors enough in the telegraphic retutns to give a c : ear plurality to Flaisted. These returns will have to ho compared to returns made to the Sec retary of State, in order to establish their correctness, and as soon as the Secretary is heard from tho comparisons will be telegiaphed. Finding errors in the telegraphic returns to tho net amount of two-tenths of one por cent, tho copies of the official returns have been carefully footed up and compand with the footings received from Augusta. An error of ICO is found in the footing up of Penobscot County. Tho toven lacking towns arc added, and the final result is: Davis, 73,040, Plaist.'d, 73,814; Plaistcd’s plurality 174. The scattering wore not on the sheets received heie, but the Augusta footing, 475, is probably correct

At the beginning j of the operation no pulse could be felt, j but tho little fellow moaned occasionally! and his breathing was preceptible. The new blood acted from the first like magic. The patient became immediately quiet, and dropped off apparently into a peaceful sleep. Dreathing became regular,color was restored to the face, and the heating of the pulse was felt. As soon as it could bo counted it was found to be as high as one hundred and fifty, and become quite full and strong. Tho indications, were favorable for a new lease of life for the boy, but toward midnight he again began to fail, and died at twelve o'clock The transfusion had come too late.

THE SKIN ORAKTIK0 CASE.

The Times ofScptember 4th contained a full account of an operation in skingrafting which was performed at the County Hospital. The patient was a young man, twenty-three years of ago, named John Filas. A large cancer had been removed from the outside of his 'I'Im 1 AiiostntcN frml right leg near the hip and the wound] The following very clever hit at the whichresulted was about tenjinches long | scientific unbelief of the day, written by and nearly as wide.

he was given new vitality. Transfusion was spoken of, but the surgeons then had a patient in hand whose hip was being operated upon with knife, chisel and saw and he could not bo laid aside until tho operation was completed. There is no doubt that “Mikey” would have died before dark had not stimulants been

freely administered.

In tho evening, after the other case had been disposed of, the surgeons turned their attention th the boy. The boy’s

father consented to

1‘AIIT WITH SO MUCH OF HIS LIFE BLOOD As might be needed, and bared his left arm for an incision. A vein was opened in the inner side of the arm just above the elbow, and nearly a half a,bowlfull of blood was drawn from it. A similar incision was made in the hoy’s arm, but with great care. A vein was lifted from its bed and supported by two instruments laid under it and across the incision. Ths vein was less than an eighth of an inch in diameter, and the movement of blood in it was imperceptible. This part of the operation required about fifteen minutes but the heroic little patient submitted to it with hardly a murmur. About an inch in length of tho vein was exposed. In tho mean time tho blood which had been drawn from the father was kept at the proper temperature and was constantly stirred by a wisp saturated with a 5 per-cent, solut’on of carbolic acid. This stirring was necessary to prevent coagulation. It was twice strained through muslin prepared with the “5-per-cent, solution.” Finally, when every thing was in readiness, circulation through the vein in the boy’s arm, which had been exposed, was stopped by compression, an incision was made in the vein, aud the end of a glass tube was inserted. Attached to this glass tube was one of rubber, font inches in length, whose interior diameter was about an eighth of an inch. A small syringe was filled with the blood

in the bowl, and by it was

Through the rubber and glass tubes very slowly. This oj oration was repeated four times, and about two ounces and a half of blood from tho fathers’a veins was sent coursing throngh the veins of his son, this being all that tho blood-vessels would

receive.

should be assisted, and wisely, too, as tho result shows. A previous operation of a similar nature or little Aggie Sheeby was successful, but the vitality in her wasted frame had become so nearly exhausted that her life went out like the light from n lamp exhausted of oil, hut it was no fault of tho skin-transplatation Filas’ frame was strong, and if tho experment should fail he would be none the worse for it. A flap of skin -was cut away from tho hip of a young sheep, largo enough to cover about two-thirds of the wound. It was sewed fast to the natural skin of the sheep on three sides and left attached to the patient on the fourth side. It was expected that whilejthe circulation of the blood of the sheep would keep the tlap alive, it would become attached to the exposed surface of the wound on which it rested, and in time be nourished by the blood of the patient. The flap was kept covered for twenty-four hours. At the end of that time tho dressing was removed and it was found that the tip of tho flap, or two inches of it, had died. Within a few dajs it became apparent that tho remainder ol the flap had become firmly attached, tho cutting of it away from the sheep was commenced at once, and clippings wero made each cry. Finally the sheep began to waste away, and sheep and patient both became very restless. It was thought best to detach the the flap from the sheep wholly, and one stroke of the surgeon’s knife on yesterday liberated tho animal. It is assured that the skin will grow to the man’s hip although some portions of it may yet slough away. If a piece no larger than a silver dollar is finally attached, the fact is settled that skin-grafting may be a success. It was expected at first that less than three operations would be sufficient to supply the patient with all tho skin ho needed. As soon as the portion now translerred is properly fixed another

operation will follow.

Two stalwart men were working at night in a Chicago freight yard. Each had a large kerosene lamp. A quarrel arose between them which ended in a tight. The lamps were used as weapons, and were speedily broken over the heads of the contestants. The oil ran over them and caught fire, but neither would let go his hold, and they continued the stiuggle with their bodies enveloped in the flames, until both were disabled by burning. One died immediately, and the other lived only a few hours. Mr. Stotesburyis an old man, and Mr Relrose is a young one; but when Mr, Belrose undertook to publicly cowhide Mr. Stotesbury, in I’biladelpeia, Mr. Stotesbury threw Mr. Delroso down and pounded him until he lustily

He descended from tho monkey, ascended to the philosopher, and sitteth down in the rites and customs of civilization under the laws of a developing sociology. From thence he shall come again, by the disintegration of tho heterogenized cosmos back to tho original homogeneousness of chaos. “I believe in the wholly impersonal absolute the wholly uncatholic eburoh, tho disunion of the saints, the survival of the fittest, the persistence of force, the dispersion of tho body aud in death everlasting.” A long and hard struggle was made by J. \V. Dunn to save his family from drowning in Pensacola Ray. He was outsailing with his wife and five children, when a squall capsized the boat. Being a good swimmer, ho was able to place tho hands of the entire party on the edge of the craft, or in the case of the younger children to place them on the bottom. But the water was rough, tho wind continued to blow furiously, and one after another they wero dislodged. He brought them back repeatedly, and for eighteen hour s did his utmost to keep them in place; but when the boat finally drifted to shore only the parents and one child remained. Dunn was made insane by the excitement ana ex-

ertion.

The following passage is from the report of a trial at Massillan, Ohio: “McMillan called Jlnian a liar. Ulman hacked toward McMillan, kicking at him like a cow. McMillen reached over and caught Ulman, threw him over a chair, breaking it, and tho combatants fell together on the floor, McMillan on top. While the scuffle was in progress Mrs. Brown, the defendant in the case, was upset and fainted, and her husband expressed a desire to wallop all tho lawyers.” The Judge remarked that the proceedings were irregular, but he didn’t

punish anybody.

Charles Calvert was fifty-four years a clerk in tho War Department at Washington. Recently, when ho was 78, ho was dismissed. It is said that he was still able to perform the duty, wl ieh was not a very important one. At any rate he felt that his removal was an in-

cried justice, and tho blow soon made him in-

sane. ills death is now announced.
