The "transfusion" process, it is reported, has been revivod in Vienna, by a physician who uses it with suo cess in cholera casos. The blood of healthy young persons is infused into the veins of tho patients to the extent of about twenty ounces, and tho effect, it is said, is often instan? taneous relief. A lady iu Now Orleans potitions . the City Council to pay her fare to Washington, where she expects to rcceivo 8625r000:nnn frr.ni aa English estuto. It all depends on her getting money enough to go to Washington. At a dance in honor of a newly married pair at Norwich, Connecti? cut, last Sunday evening, tho party got drunk, tho bridegroom wus whip? ped and tho brido received a I ! ck oyo. A physician at Cincinnati reports a discovery that dusting a patient fre? quently with lycopodium will not ouly allay tho irritation in small-pox, but will prevent pitting !? ROUND DA?OSA. "-Archbishop Spalding is opposed to tho "roond dances." Wa find the following in the Catiioiic Mirror: ? . . ??'? We are directed by tho Most Rev. Archbishop to republish and call special attention to what the Fathers of th A lo-tfl Pl?harv Council cf Balti? more, now solemnly approved by the Holy See, officially declare in their Pastornl Latter in reference to these dances, which, under tho guise of fashionable amusements, are so much fraught with danger to sound morals nnd to that delicacy which springs simultaneously from Christianity, and is intimately connected with true Christian faith and sentiment. The Pastoral Letter was signed by all our bishops, and it is, therefore, the of? ficial declaration of tho church in the United States. Our bishops issue tho following warning on the snbjeot: "lu this connection we consider it to be our duty to warn our people against those amusements which mny easily become to them an occasion of sin, and especially against those fa? shionable dances, which, as at pre? sent carried on, ai'c revolting to every feeling of delicacy and propriety, and fraught with the greatest danger to morals. " A SHARI* TRICK.-The pcoplo of Prince'ton, Indiana, were regularly sold the other day. A traveling den? tist went around and proposed to insert flnosets of false teeth at a very low prico and wait six months for his pay. He only demanded that the parties should pay him down for pulling the old stumps. All the old women went with poor teeth, and all the young ones with yellow ones, came to the doctor, had the unsight? ly grinders, etc., removed, and paid for the job. The next day the doc? tor was missinir, and has not been heard from since. There is weeping and wailing in Princeton, but, owing to the peculiar circumstances of the case, the gnashing of teeth is un? avoidably postponed. A little girl seeking celestial infor? mation, asked her Mother: "Have angels wings?" TUJ unsuspecting mamma, full of memories of pictures and traditions, answered: "Certainly they have." Straightway young in? quisitive sprang uer trap: "Then why did they want a ladder to get down to Jacob?" A little boy in Lowell was asked how many mills make a cent. "Ten, sir," was the prompt reply. Imme? diately a bright-faced little girl held up her hand in token of dissent. "Well, Miss, what have you to say?" "Please, sir, ten mills don't make a cent. Pa says all the mills in town don't make u cent." In Salem, Indiana, a man chargod with murder, but at large on bail, committed the same crime again quito openly and under circumstances of peculiar atrocity, after which ho remained in town two or throe days and then departed leisurely without molestation. A writer in ono of our scientific weeklies advocates tho adoption of a uniform staudard of time the world over, numbering tho hours from ono to twenty-four, so that it would be 1 o'clock everywhere at tho same mo? ment. Quiet is not always the best thing in the world. Too much of it at least tends to stupidity and dullness. Tho brightest people are the busiest, the liveliest thoughts and happiest fancies often come in tho greatest whirl and bustle in life. It is stated, upon tho authority oj those who have heard, that a cat, when her tail is pinched between a door, utters the vowels a, e, i, o, u, with great distinctness. If the in? jury is prolonged, she gives w and y also. Some ono expresses his conviction I that tho unfortunate author of "The Dearest Spot on Earth to Me is Home," etc., was not homeless, as the critics assort, but, on tho con? trary, had a largo family of daugh? ters. The latest musical sensation in New York State is a young woman of Batavia, who plays two airs with her right hand, ono with her left, and ! sings a fourth, simultaneously. Sweet medley.
