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.

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.

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 ' " After some further discussion the Honse ad journed; ; I 9 W I 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.

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.

Children should be early indulged in their dis position to Lake and experiment in various way.
