CniNEse Testimony not Keliable. The
California courts find it almost impossible to get
along with their Chinese brethren, their word
being "as good as their bond," and their bond
no better than their word, which is worthless
The other day a Chinaman made a deadly assault
on some of his countrymen, and was held to
bail under $1,000 bond, some of his friends went
his bail, taking oath to their being worth more
than that amount, and after it was too late to
secure the criminal it was proven that they were
not worth a cent. They seem to have no regard
for their oaths. Perhaps I time ; and education
will teach them better. Exchange.
The Chinese are. something like Americans,
in bme respect. . ;

0iT Fature Housekeepers. .
We some times catch ourselves wondering ho
many of the young ladies whom we meet with
are to pcrfiriu the part of housekeepers, when
the young men who admire them adoringly
have persuaded them; to become their wiveg..
We listen t ) those young ladies of whom we
epeak, and lear them not only acknowledging,
but boasting of their ignorance of all household
duties, as iff nothing would so lower them in the
esteem of their friends as the confession of an
ability to bke bread and pics, or cook a piece of
meat or a disposition to engage in any useiul em
ployment; Speaking from our own youthful
recollection: , we are free to say that taper Angers
and lilly wliite hands are very pretty to look t
with a ybing .man's'; eyes, and sometimes we;
have know t the artless innocence of practical
knowledge displayed by a young miss to appear
rather interesting than otherwise. But we l:vc.
lived long enough to learn that life is full of rug-j
ged experiences and that the most loving, ro
mantic, aud delicate people must live on cooked,
or otherwise prepared food, and m homes kept; I
clean aua ttuy br industrious li;tnd3. And ror.

An Example.
Many ; a
bov ;now in Dovertv. is anxious 16 srain
wealth,' honor. an fame. Certainly all cttnnot
do it. but perhaps enc in a hundred aspirants
will attain to erninence, aud it' is well worth try
ing for i to bo that one. The life of Commodore
Vanderbilt is an example of the kind.! He comr
menced as poor as any boy, he rose by his -own
personal exertion. In bis j early life he run a
little sloop, and boat the man j who tried to rum
him outi 1 As he grew in years and knowledge,
he owned a large line' arid succeeded with steam
boats whejn otliers failed: Then he took lo fail
loading and whai be did, he did with a: will,
and succeeded," because he was determined to
succeed, and bent all his energies to that; end,
and tb-day he jstiinds tbremost among th6 great
successful inonicjdiuen of-thej great metropolis.
Energy, perseverance, tack has done it. He be
gun poor, he had no rich relatives toj fll bacly
on. Jic made? up ins mind to succeed ana uf
it; others can th the sama thing if they will.
A Lesson for Well Dispossed Wives.
"Why jis it,' asked a lady, rtliat so many men
are anxious trt get rid of their wives ?" :Be
cause,'' was the rep3y "so few women exert them
selves after marriage to make' their presence in
dispensiblc to he happiness of their husbands."
When husband and wife become thoroughly ac
customed! to cch other when all the i little bat
tery of charnis which both played so skillfully
before the wedding 'day has been exhausted
4.00 manyj seem to think that nothing remains
but the clanking or the legal chains which bind
thcin to each blher. j The wife seeks to develop
in her affection jno new attraction for her hus
band,! and the Hotter, perceiving the lapem, be
gins to brood over an uncongeniality which does
not exist into'insurpassahle obstacles, in the way
of his earthly felicity. This is the true secret.

The State Debt
in'the j. C. egislattre.
Wc give the following sketch of a debate in
the House on Monday the 2d, oo a resolution
pledging the Stte to pay the 'public
will be seen that the resolution was
debt. It
postponed
for one
month
'The Resolution of Mr Seymour, in
regard to
maintaining the State's credit, pledy-ine the State
to pay her public debt, the (question being on
the am indment of.Mr Maloneto insert 'legally in
curred and honestly disposed of, as to the bonded
debt.V -M , . j j . "j! , . .
j - Mr French asked an explanation of the
amendment; said 'the inference was that ! part
had been illegally land' dishonestly disposed of.
Mr, 1 alone said the object was to avoid pledg
ing the faith of the State to 'every single act
creatine indebtedness because jit' appears regular.
Acts giving men cbntfql of 612,000,000; may be
regular, yet the bonds Jmay J be disposed j of to
parties who have jfull. jnotice of the . fraud. If
an agent transcends' his authbrity, ,' the principal
is notj liable. Ifja nan, .passing through the
country, offers a horse! worth S200 for 25, it is
evidence of some
was pr jbably hot
thing wrdug- that the horse
the property of the seller.; So,
to sell 66,000,000 ot North
u a man proposes
Carolina bonds forj 35 to 39 cents on the dollar,
it is almost positive evidence of bad faith, j Col.
Johns6n very properly refused to put his bonds
yn the market; but others hve placed millions
of bonds onithe market,; yet Strange ta say, very
little of the roads have beenrbuilt and the cob-
tractors complain! of having ho money. ! Why -is
this I
Shall, we
Kfee this ruinous sacrifice of the
State?
Shall
,w.e
Stand by apd allow this huge
speculation,! and when called! upon, vote a reso-
lution endorsing the same:
. r . - . I - !
: i It is monstrous to
contemplate !
If this ' be the policy, we arc
ruined ruined!
j Mr Sinclair f opposed the amendment; it would
intimate that the Legislature had made dishonest
appropriations and prejudge matters on this sub
ject to go before Conimiitecsi 1
I Mr Seymour hoped the amendment would be
withdrawn and t)i.e vote takn on the main ques
tion;
Mr
Malone
said, this
amendment involved the
question whether: the people should be protected
us j swindles of the 'Uiing.

Mr French thought if there were grounds of
suspicion that bopcli had been dishonestly dis
posed: of, it was the 'duty of the House to ex
amine into the matter, and not put this amend-
mentfin this resolution,; which was intended to
prop the credit ibf the StatK . J
Mr Argo thought thie proceedings on the mat

iMr teymo
Ur moved toj reconsider the v6tc
ust taken. 1 Ho thought now was the time for
he State to declare her ability and willingness
to pay her new lbods. , lie wished old and new
bonds put on the same footing, all made special
tax .boiids. , ': Jle spoke at some lengthy declaring
iguinst repudiation, &c. !j f "
; Mr Iugraruj favored the; niotien to j-jeconsider.
Mr, Argo sfud lie opposedj repudiation, except
n case of the- direst necessity ; but he;: .was op
posed to thieiiug in cvejy shape and form. It
was charged that theiving was going on in our
Railroad bonds, also, that collusion between
those managing the bonds and the purchasers,
existed; he desired: the postponement; to give
committees to invgstigaej these charges, time to
report. If the reports show no ground for the
charges, rt will then be time enough for these
resolutions; ;at! present this Legislature is acting
inthc dark ojn thc matterL , '
Mr IVu whs opposed to the motion to recon
sider. He thought uo one could be hurt by the
nostnoncment !;r at least, no one who had a-ri:ht
to the consideration of the Legislature The
bonds were either in the bandj of the authori
ties of the Railroads or those of purchasers, if
the former, let them call at the Treasurer's office
draw the int jrest on theui and go to work on
their roads; jifinjthe hands of the latter let them
call for the interest of sik cents on the dollar.
That of itself Is one sixthlof the present worth of
the bonds, abd probably one-sixth of the invest
ment made m them by the purchaser. ; Let the
Legishture i n! tins matter "make haste slowly"
aud act conscientiously and with its best Judg
ment.';:' ' " "j . '.!; ; .! h, .; ; ! -: ' V- . .:
31 r Justice favored the reconsideration. ' . He
was opposed to repudiation, and said it was the
doctrine the Democrats hoped to carry the next
election witjil! abd this r movement would give
them strength. I J ; jf .; -:
Mr Hodrtett said, when morey matters were
discussed the interest of the bondholders seemed
to absorb the iattention of some gentlemen, while
the interestjof tjie poor people was completely ig
nored. If .the cry of repudiation was raised,
gentlemen should remember that the Republican
party 'was lrh with : the Iwords written upon its
forehead. The new Constitution, which the Re
publicans forced upon the pepple, repudiated, in
the homestead article, millions of debt between
citizen and citizen, while. the: bloated bondholder
had pledges of security given. He came from
the people, was a workingnaan and knew the
value of money earned by the. sweat of the brow.
Gentlemen were mistaken in regard to the cause
tf the depreciation of our bonds, Northern bro
kers and bankers were shrewd and far-seeing
men; they knew that the. people were overtaxed
and could not pay. Go to Greensboro and aeo
the caravaus which almost daily pass through
that place carrying our citizens to other States,
driven forth by the enormous loadf of taxation
put upon them by the legislation of the Repub
lican party. At the close of the war, the Re
publican party came iu to power professing to bo
the poor man's friend,, but in their reckless and
lavish expenditures are taking away the little
left by the war and driving them from their
homes by excessive taxation. ' He had warned
'gentlemen last session that these lavish appro--
pnations of money would educate the people to
the doctrine of. repudiation. The people were
fast becoming aware how their, interest was be
ing abused, aud if gentlemen did not pause in
their career, other representatives would be sent
here, who could attend more to tho interest of.
their constituents than to the bond holders of ;
Wall street. - ; j ' "

Transfusion of Blood.
The Philadelphia Ledger relates that this
operation, which consists in the actual transfer
of' the blood of one living body into the veins of
another, has been recently performed in tho
Pennsylvania Hospital, under the following cir
cumstances: ! j
i '
"A young man in the upper part of the' city
was wounaca on tnc inner suriacc ot the upper
lip, by tripping and falling on the fragments of
a pitcher which he had been - carrying in his
hand. The wound continued to bleed for ten
days, after which time the 'patient was sent to
the surgical wards of the hospital, which wore,
at the time, under the charge of Dr. T. G. Mor
ton. Several remedies were then. applied, and
the arteries supplying the face were tied, but
without success in controlling tho flow of blood.
Recourse was next had to cutting down to tho
common carotid or great artery of the neck, and .
applying a ligature, so as to obstruct entirely tho
course of the blood in it. . This was done on the
18th of October last. The oozing of blood still
continued, but in. lessened rpvantity.' J
On the following day, or the 19th, tho patient
was in such a state of (.extreme, exhaustion from
the long-continued 'hemorrhage that his death
seemed to be imminent, and, as a last resource,
Dr. Morton resolved to. try the effect of transftu
sion. Wc shall not pretend to describe tho ap
paratus used on the occasion, or the details of'
the operation. Let it suffice for us to say that
two medical students bared their arms and gavo
the blood required for tho occasion. Five ounces
and a half of their blood were infused into tho
vein of each arm of the patient, the marked good
effects of which were evinced in five minutes by
a rallying qf.the pulso and otherwise beginning
reaction. There .was no further discharge of
b'ood from the original wound, and in ten days
the patient was able to walk. m tho ward, and
rapidly regained strength.""
i ' V hatcver may be the termination of this case,
regarded as one of a wound with complicated
symptoms, tjicre can be no question of the entire
success-of tlie operation of transfusion, and of its
saving life and restoring the patient for ai while
at least, to the exercise of his ordinary unctions.'
Transfusion was first practiced in the early part
of the seventeenth century, although its use in
England and on the coutincut generally, date,
from the middle of this; century. The firet
operations were on animals, and the first instance
of one being performed on man, if wc except that
described by Libarius, was in Paris, by Dcnys
and Emmerez, in 1GG6. j 1
In the succeeding year their example was fol
lowed by Lower and King, in England. In
these and other cases of subsequent date, tho
blood was taken from an animal a fcheep or calf
but grave objections to this course present
themselves in . the different character of tho
globules of the blood of animals frofo those of
the human subject, aud in latter times the Iran-,
fusion is always from one to another of individ
uals of our own species. Tho profession is much
indebted to Dr. Rlundell, an eminent English
accoucheur, for his ingenious resonrches coiicern
ing transfusion, and his improved method for its
successful use. He showed in the result of
cases of exccssivccxhaustion from lss of blood,
occurring in his large obstetrical practice, and
when life seemed about; to ebb awav, how it
could be suddenly and completely rescued by
transfusion. The New iYork Medical Record,
of October 1st, cofatains an account, by Dr.
Joseph Ruscher, oHa successful cac oCtransfu.
sion. The patientjwas a young German WomaB'
who had lost much blood by typhus fever, j The
fresh blood was taken from the arm cf her bus-
band." . . ! -
Learn to Keep House.
T3 11 1-. 11. . .
o young iauy can do too wcu instructed in
anything which will affect .tho comfort of a
family. Whatever position . in society she occu
pies, she needs a practical knowledge of house,
hold duties. She may be placed iu such cir
cumstances that it will hot be ucccssary for her
to perform much domestic labor ; but on this
account she needs no less .knowledge than if L
was obliged to preside personally ver the cook-'
ing stove and the pantry. Indeed it is more
difficult to direct others, abd requires more ex
perience, than to do the same work with our own
hauds. - j. '' -
'' Young people can not; realize the importance
of j a thorough knowledge of housewifery; hut
those who have sufferejd the inconvenience and
mortification of ignorance can well appreciate it.
Children should be early indulged in their dis
position to Lake and experiment in various way.
I know a little girl who at nine years old made
a loaf of bread every week during the" winter,
ner mother taught her how much ycast,!saltand
flour to use, and she became quite an expert
baker.1 Some mothers give. their daughters the
care of house-keeping each a week by turn. It
seems to nie a good arrangemont, aud x tucjtt
I useful part of their; education.
