by J. a. wiiiTTixn.
Still sits tho achoolhouso by the road,
A ragged beggar sunnlngt
Around It still tho sumachs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, lhc master's desk Is seen,
Deep scarred by raps official i
The warping floor, the battered scats,
The Jack-knife's enrved Initial;
The charcoal frescoes on Its walls,
Its door's worn Bill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went storming out to playing I
Long years agon winter's sun
Shone over It at setting
Lit np Its western window panes,
And low eaves' Icy fretting.
It touched the tangled golden curls,
And brown eyes full of grieving,
Of ono who BtlU hor steps delayed
When all theschool wore leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor slnglod,
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride nnd shame were mingled,
rushing with restless feet tho snow
To right and left he lingered,
As restlessly her tiny hands
The bluc-chcckod apron fingered.
He taw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hand's light caressing.
And heard the trembling of hor volco,
As If a fault confessing.
"I'm sorry that I spelt the word;
I hnte to go above )ou.
Because!' the brown eyes lower fell
"Because, you see, I lovo you I"
Still memory to n gray-halrcd man
That sweet child-face Is showing,
Dear girl 1 the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growlngl
Ho lives to learn, In life's hard school,
How fow who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss.
Like her because they love him.

IN THE WRONG ROOM;
OR
iViit. IIsii-i-isoii'M Experience.
"In curly days old Nat. Harrison was
elected to tho Legislature from this coun
ty," said a fel low as wo wore all seated
around tho stove, In a Ultle hotel at Mc
Lalnsboro', Hamilton county. Illinois.
Old Nat. was a regular old brick I Ho
was elected just becauso tliero was no
one to run against him. Our county
was rather bad oil" for Intelligent people
In thoso days. A few days after old
Nat, had gone to Springfield, to attond
to the duties of his ofllce, I happened
to bo tliero on bubiness of it private
character, nnd thinking he would be
glad lo hear from tho folks at homo,
concluded to call on him at the "Prairie
House," and Inquire after his health."
"I'vo been well, Tom," said ho, "but
I got awfully scared tho first night
stayed in this 'ere darned place."
"How wa-i that?" I Inquired.
"Well," snld Nat. "I'll tell you ull
about It. You see that fellow there be
hind tho counter; tho fellows hero call
him tho hard well, I told him I want
ed lo sco my bed, so I'd know where to
sleep when I'd como In after a while,
Ho took mo up stairs to a little room
and said I could sleep there, and then
ho went down. I took goutl notice oi it
brown door with yaller streaks hero
and there, and white earthen lock
handlo.
"1 btttrtcd; down stairs n-thlnkiu
about this, and I wouldn't look at
another door' for fear I'd get 'em kin
der mixed up in my head, and then for
get which was mine.
"About twelve o'clock that night 1
came In with a kind of half-grown hum
min' in my head, and the very first
thing 1" found at the top of tho stairs
wits my own identical door, with the
yuller streaks and whito lock handle.
"Good," says I, and hi I lumbers, I
walked up to tho bed, and what do ye
think ? Why, I finds somo ono of your
long-legged, black-whiskered town fel
lers in It fust asleep. I takes him by
tho beard, reared him up on his end
und given him a short sarmont lolls
him to leavo ns quick as doublo trig
gets, or I'll be d d if I wouldn't kick
him down stairs tells him I don't
want to do It nuthcr, for I ntn a mem
ber of tho Legislature tho Representa
tive from Hamilton but If I git to
fighting he'd llnd mo a full team. Tho
fellow looked awfully cared,and with
out saying a word ho got up very hum
bio like, und started for Ills dry goods,
which hung on a chair up in ono corner,
1 sot down tho light nnd began to un
dress; and suys I to him, draw on them
duds mid totldlo from hero for I'll bo
cussed if I 'turning around ut tho
same time to look flerco at him I soo's
him a coinin' nt mo with ono of tho
drottest butcher knives in the world.
"Well, thought I, Nat. you've got
yourself in u close place, by Jingo! and
so wo begun to lumber around tho room
llko tho very nation, Horol wetit,horo
he come, AtlastI got between him and
the door, and out I xhot.
'This bents the devil, suys I, u Rep
resentative to tliu Legislature treated in
this way, 1 went down stairs nml told
the fellow behind thocountcr that somo
cuss was lu my room.
'No I gui'Miiot," said he; "perhap-i
there U some mistake your room Is
number eight."
"Thinks I perhaps tliero may bo
borne mistake; andsul goes back. When
I got. tip to tho top of tho stairs I bo.'iin
to count at tho first door, and on till I
counted eight. 1 found then thoy all
looktil ttxactly nllko, I opened tho
eighth door and went In, feeling certain
that It was picked out for mo. A cau
dle was buriilny on tho table, by tho
light of which I saw that somo person
was In tho bed, Not feeling Inclined to
kick up another fti-w, I concluded to
crawl hi with him and bay nothing
about It. In u very short time I was
In bed and ready to go to sleop, I hud
not been In bed long beforo the door
opened, and a young man und woman
en mo Into tho room aud took seats by
tho citudlo stand,
"Something clso on hand, Nut,'
thought I to myself, "but let 'em tip.'
"Thoy looked very serious at first,
but finally it wore-off, and they got lo
chottiug very lovingly, and to huggln
and klssln a little. X was delighted with
tho performance, and thought tho feller
In bed with mo ought to sco It and on-
Joy tli fun too: so I whispered to him.
"Say, Captain old boss, Just look
up.'
"Thoy both started up, llko n shakln
mill had touched 'em, and thoy seemed
to bo awfully scared, till tho gal said,
'It was only tho wind blowln ngln tho
Winder."
"They soon got to huggln' and kiss-
in' again, and as I could not rouso our
friend I thought I would Jest liavo a
llttlo fun to myself.
"clips," says I, Jest as thoy was a
fetching their lips togother.and up they
sprang llko lightning and loped for tho
door; but as fortune, would liavo It, tho
young feller had dropped tho koy, and
he couldn't get out.
"Never mind,' says I, It's fun for me
as wol as you. I lovo to scoslch things
n-goln' on.'
"This seemed to scaro 'em moro than
over.
"It was rich, too rich to enjoy nlono,
nnd I determined to wako up my bed
feller. I slapped my hand on his chin
it was cold us ico. 'Thunder nnd St.
Louis, Nat' said I, you'roin bed with a
dead man,' nnd without waiting to con
sider tho matter I sprang to tho floor.
The youngsters gavo a loud squall, fetch
ed up against tho closed door, and I
pitched with 'em which resulted in
stuasning tno uarncu tiling open.
Without waiting for ceremonies or for
malities wo all bolted for tho stairs-
Hearing tho racket, tho landlord who
occupied a room still further back,
camo bolting after us. Catching a
glimpse of him I took hiui to bo tho
dead man, nnd so I put all the steam
on, nnd ran close In tho wako of tho
lovers. I could not pass them, howev
er, for they wero frightenod out of their
senses, having no idea but what I was
tho deceased in closo pursuit. In this
condition wo all tumbled promiscuously
down stairs Into tho bar-room.
"Now let's go and take something,
boss," said Nat, 'butdon'tsay anything
about this when you get home, or Sally
may bo uneasy about mo."

Somo years ago n traveler In Arkau
sas approached a squatter's cabin in
search of lodgings, and discovered
the proprietor sitting in front of the
door playing tho "Arkansaw Traveler"
on tho iiddlo. Tho following Inter
esting dialogue Is reported to have
taken placo :
Traveler Halloo, stranger.

An Exciting' Scene.
Tho peregrinations of showmen arc
often besot with numerous difficulties
whllo pursuing their daily avocations
in our Southern country, which with
tho usunl winter rains and heavy roads,
mako it difficult for tho managers to
mako good tho promises of tho agents.
Such was tho case with John Robinson's
Circus and Menagerie a fow dnys since.
Whllo performing in Tnllahassa,
Florida, it was mentioned to J. P. Rob
InsonJr., that ho might expect somo
dilTlcu.lty lu passing through a long and
dismal swamp between that placo and
Qutncyvon account of tho largo num
ber of alligators who infested tho ford ut
this particular locality, nnd whoaroat
this season of tho year very ferocious,
and on tho watch for any unfortunate
mulo or horso that may becomo cntati
glcd In tho numerous roots, quicksands
and holes which abound nt the ford ;
but ho replied, as the agent had already
mado tho arrangements for him to go
through, and It was not his naturo to
turn back, ho had nothing left but to
follow, trusting to his previous good
fortuno in getting thus far. Tho result
of his decision nlthough anticipating
somo difficulty, wns far moro serious
than ho anticipated.
At three o'clock, p. m., on 'fuesday,
January 25, Prof. Louis Houston, who
has chargo of tho animals, started with
tho elephant Empress, (ho largo Bftc
trlan camel, tho beautiful Arabian
whlto camel, a flno thorough bred maro
and colt, and two spotted coach dogs,
tomnkotho trip to Qtilncy, nllliough
repeatedly warned by Mr. J. P. Hob
blnson, Jr., not to attempt tho passage
of the swamp In nny other than day
light. Ho, however, went through.
Beforo nppreachlng tho ford, an occa
sional bellow or roar was heard, beto
kening that tho Inhabitants of tho lo
cality had not rotiro-.I for tho night, and
a sudden plungo nnd splash In the water
would denoto that tho enemy was on
tho alert for mischief, Tho elephant
would, evory fow steps, throw her
trunk aloft, emitting at tho snmo tlmo
aloud scrench of defiance, the camels
uttering low moans, whllo tho horso-i
almost ruftisod to stir, and stood trem
bling with fear, while tho dogs kept up
nn Incessant howling. Approaching
tho water nt tho ford, Houston detor.
mined upon tho Immediate passage
through, beforo tho alligators had tlmo
to summon their crow.
Bidding tho elephant enter, sho btop
ped boldly In, nt tho same tlmo lashing
tho water furiously with her trunk;
tho rnmols, horses und dogs following
closo hi tho rear. Ho had passed two
third of tho way, when n sharp yelp of
pain from ono of the dogs and his sun
den illsappoarnuco denoted that tho
Bwnmp fiends wero nt work, nnd beforo
ho could collect his thoughts tho other
dog went under with n long death howl.
Ho now began to think of his own safety
nnd calling to thoelcnhant, ho comman
ded her to turn. As sho did son fearful
roar was heard from tho largo Bactrlnn
camel, who had at that Instant boon at
tacked, Tho water seemed allva with nlllga
tors. Tho roaring, bellowing and

gators wero terrific. Thoy would throw
their ponderous Jaws open nnd tear
lingo pieces of flesh from tho camels
whllo tho poor brutes would utter heart
rending groans nnd cries for relief. In
tho incnuttmo tho elephant was not
Idlo. Ever solicitous for tho welfare of
her keener nnd companions, sho had. at
tho moment of seeing them safely lan
do J upon tho opposite shore, rushed
hack to tho assistanco of her friend, tho
camel, who by this tlmo was nearly gone,
and ly creating tho grenlcst furor
among her assailants, succeeded tn
bringing tho head of tho camel to tho
shore, that portion being all that re
mained of tho poornnlmal.
In tho confusion that onsucd, Hous
ton did not miss tho colt until warned
by a shrill scream or neigh, which seem
ed to como from several rods below.
Upon rushing down tho stream a fow
yards, a terrlb lo sceno was presented to
his vlow. It would seem that the den
izens of Chattahoochee swamp for miles
around had become cogniznnt ofsomo
extra attraction nt that particular point
on this night, and had started for that
rendezvous, and upon reaching tho
Bccno of action had unexpectedly en
countered both food and opposition at
thoEamo time for, simultaneous with
tho mooting of tho colt they met their
pursuors, nnd an awful battlo ensuod.
.Several times it seemed as if tho colt
would cscapo.and regain tho shore, so
busy wero tho alligators In destroying
ono nnothcr, but Just beforo tho poor
crcatttro would reach tho land, somo
monster moro ravenous than bravo,
would leavo tho melee, pursue and drag
it back into deep water, until finally It
becamo exhausted and foil an easy prey
to tho fearful reptiles whllo Professor
Houston stood looking on with blan
ched and terrified looks, wholly unable
to render the least assistance, threatend
with a terrible death should ho oven
attempt it. As ho turned to retrace
his steps toward tho place whero ho left
tho remaining animals, ho counted tho
cost. Ho had made tho passage, but
at a terrible sacrifice. Ho came out
with an elephant, ono camel and one
horso. Tho camel was valuedat $5,000,
nnd very rare. Tho colt Mr. Robin
son had repeatedly refused $J,000
for. It will bo many a long year be
foro Mr. Houston will forget tho horrors
of pass ing through a Florida swamp at

Extraordinary Feat in Sclcnco
L Xransfusion of a Dog's Blood.
Tho second annual meeting of tho
nlumni of Rush Medical College was
held at tho College, corner of North
Dearborn and Indiana streets, on yes
terday morning. Tho hall was nearly
filled. Tho meeting was called to order
by the President, Br. Ames, of Minne
sota. It was announced that Dr. J.'W.
Freer, Professor of Physiology nnd
Microscopical Anatomy, would oxhlbit
to the nlumni tho experiment of the
transfusion of blood. The experiment
ers consisted of Dr. Freer, Dr. Hunt,
Dr. Wndswortli. A muzzled dog was
led into tho room and placed upon tho
table. A bottlo of chloroform, a sy
ringe, n thick earthen mortar, India
rubber hose, and two frames containing
upright tubes, from it foot to six feet in
height, wero tho prominent objects. Dr.
Freer stated that ho was about to pro-
sont two experiments: Tho first would
show tho foreo exerted by tho heart and
tho walls of the arteries upon tho blood.
This would consist in opening tho caro
tid artery of tho dog, and allowing tho
blood to flow into tho upright glass
tubes. The height of tho blood In tho
'glass tubes would lndlcnto tho forco.
Tho second experiment would consist
In removing tho blood from tho animal
until it becamo apparently exsanguina
ted, and then restoring tho dog to Iifo
ngoin by Injecting the fluid back again
through thojugular vein.
Chloroform was administered to tho
dog in order to render it passlvo, and
after nbout 15 minutes had elapsed, tho
beast was In a condition to bo operated
tilon.
An Incision was nmdo In tho neck,
and tho carotid artery laid baro. Two
ligatures wore tied around tho artery
about two incites apart, between which
an incision was mado into tho artery,
and tt glass tubo fitted into tho incision.
Tho tubo was connected by tho rubber
hoso with nn upright glass tubo soven
feet long. As soon us tho ligatures wero
unbound, tho blood flowed rapidly into
tho tube, rising to a height of ubout six
feet, whero it stood, with a small oscll,
luting movement of about an inch,
caused by the beating of tho heart of
tho dog,
A small amount of carbonato of soda
In water solution had been placed In
tho tubo in order to prevent llio coagu
lation of the blood. Whllo tho red col
umn remained hi this position forn few
minutes, tho experimenter explained
tho phenomenon. If thero wus no
pressuio of the heart und arteries, tho
blood would not riho at all. Therefore,
tho height to which It roso In atmos-
pherlu pressiiro would Indicate tho
amount of forco exercised by tho organs
mentioned.
It should bo mentioned that the ope
rator separated carefully from tho artery
tho pneumongtislrlc nerve, beioro mo
former wns opened, os, if tho nerve
should bo Injured, tho dog would cease
to respire. During these experiments
a double Impulso vm apparent hi the
oscillation of the lluld, which was said
to bo duo to tho combined forces of the
heart nud tho mterlcs.
Tho experiment of transfusion was
then performed. Tho blood from tho.
opened artery wiw purmlttcd to flow
through the rubber hoao Into a thick
earthen mortar, which wus iUelf sunk
hi a wunu water bath of about 103 de
grees, to presorvo tho tomperaturo of
tho fluid. Tho sanguinary btream flow
ed with considerable forco at first, and
in spurts which wero synchronous with
tho bents of tho heart. Uuo of tho op
orators stirred tho fluid and removed
tho fibrin or clot, as it was necessary to
tho success of tho experiment that tho
mass should be presorvod in liquid
form.
When the lecturer had urlved at this
point, the blood from tho dog had oeas

ed to flow through tho hose; tho dog
was apparently but Just alive. The
hoartltad ceased to boat so far as could
bo observed. Tho boast lay upon tho
tablo motionless, and. all its muscles re
laxed. Tho tongue andjaws were blood
less, and thero was nothing but the
slightest respiratory motion that show
ed any life left, Tho experimenter
stated that within a short time, If left
nlono, ,tho dog would dlo. Then began
thn sccond.and last part of tho experi
ment tho restoration of tho animal by
tho Injecting of tho fluid In tho mortar
back Into tho veins.
For this purpose thojugular vein was
opened. A canula or short tube with a
stop cock wai Inserted Into tho vein, tho
stop cock being for tho purpose of pro-
venting the ingress of air. A syringe,
holding about an ounce, was filled with
the dofibrlnatcd blood, and discharged
into tho vein. The effect was immed
iately perceptible- in tho perspiration o
tho dog; at tho third syrlngo full, tho
heart began to beat rocepllbly, and
shortly afterward the dog winked;
when about half of tho extracted blood
had been restored, tho beast astonished
tho audience by getting up on his four
feet and looking about tho room.
It was supposod by some persons pros-
ont that tho experimenter would repair
the severed vein and artery, stitch up
tho dog's neck, and let him convalesce,
and remain a monument of Inductive
scienco; Dr. Freer intimated that the
dog would llvo if properly cared for;
but as It was not of much account, and
scienco could bo advanced by tho death
of tho bruto, ho would proceed lo put
it to death in tho most scientific manner
possiblo, in truth, ho would give a spec
imen of murder as a fine art, which
oven Do Quincy nover imagined.
Dr. Freer proceeded to explain tho
deleterious effects of air in tho blood.
Air in tho lungs wns necessary to the
performance of tho Ufo functions ; but
air in tho blood was deadly poison.
Tho canula had been usod to prevent
air from getting into tho veins; tho
syringo had beon carefully filled to the
very point, bo that no air could possibly
bo ejected. Introduco a few globules of
air into tho blood, and syncope and
death follow. Tho blood after death,
from this cause, is found In a frothy
condition. Tho experiment was tried ;
air was forced into tho vein, aud the
dog was soon in extremis.
But before tho victim of science was
normltted to dlo, tho professor intro
duced a bellows into tho trachea and
produced artificial respiration. Tho
dog rovived and finally had to bo de
spatched by the division or tno meautia
oblongata! Chicago 'limes.
