TRUE lNDEPENDENcE.-The man who
has seven acres of fertile land may always
retire within the circle of his own pro-
duction; ne may laugh at the monopolist,
and receive his bread from the God Of
heaven. No matter how much the seller
asks for his niceties; no man is obliged to
buy them. Let him store his fine -four if
ne please, until it is devoured by the rats.

The CoLDEsT DAY-The severity of the past
winter, in the Eastern States, has not been ex-
ceeded since 1885, and from the record before
US, it would seem that the temperature ON Sat-
urday, January oath, throughout the Northern
and Middle States, was even colder than any
day of that memorable year. In the Southern
States, the temperature at that time was lower
than it has been during this season. The fol-
lowing table shows the state of the thermometer
on the saturday, oath of January at those
points from which we have received informa-
tion by telegraph or otherwise:

The TULARE LAKE BILL-A bill has
passed the Senate, the object of which, is
to drain the Tulare Valley by means of a
canal to be dug from the head of the San
Joaquin river to the Tulare Lake, dis
tance Of some forty miles. This is very
excellent and important measure, and, the
Sacramento Journal thinks there is not
the least doubt it will receive the approval
of the Assembly and the Executive. 1t
appears that the Tulare Lakes are some
thirty feet higher than the San Joaquin.
This being the case, while the Tulare Val
ley is drained, the channel of the San
Joaquin will be widened and the navioa-
ton greatly improved. After the con
structon of the canal, communication bv
water will be established within one hun
dred and twenty miles of Los Angeles.
and new and shorter route be. opened to
Great Salt Lake.

The HEARTS MECHANIsM.-The hu-
man heart is awonderful piece of mechan-
ism; a steam-engine is clumsy contrivance
compared with it. Man has two hearts,
and each of these is double, SO that he
may be said to have four hearts Two of
these are for bright red blood, and two are
for purple or dark blood 1t is usual in
books to call red blood arterial, and the
purple blood venous but each of these
two double hearts has its own set of arte-
ries and veins, and the arteries of the one
are always filed with red, and the arteries
of the other with purple blood.
The veins, in like manner, of each are
in inverse order-the veins of the red
heart being purple, and the veins of the
purple being red for if the blood goes
out red it comes back purple, and if it
goes out purple it comes back red. 1t
always goes out red from the heart on the
left side, and comes in purple to the heart
on the right side; and it always goes
out purple from the heart on the right
side, and comes in red to the heart on
the left side And thus it makes its
everlasting round, being converted from
purple to red by passing through the lungs.
Each heart has its going and returning
series of vessels, infinitely numerous and
ramifed and the blood is forced through
them in such way that it must go for
ward, and can not return, except by going
round the circle; for these vessels are all
supplied with valves that open only one way
and shut the other; and therefore were the
blood to make an effort to return, the
valves would close Immediately and stop it.
The elastic nature of the blood-vessels,
also, is such that they squeeze the blood in
undul4tions or pulsations along, closing
upon it, and then opening to let more for
ward; and all this they do spontaneously
and regularly, the will Of man having
nothing to do with it, and no power over
their movement.-Erchange.

DEATH PAINLESS 1t is nearly certain
indeed as certain as anything chiefly
speculative can be-that in all deaths the
physical suffering is small. Even where
inyalids experience the most excruciating
agony during the progress of the disease,
nature comes to their relief at the last
hour, and life goes out gently, like can
die in it's socket. Those who have wit
messed death-beds most frequently-espe-
cialy if they hive been intelligent persons,
and therefore capable of judging-agree
generally in considering the physical pain
of death as inconsiderable. They say that
the convulsive motions, which frequently
attend the parting breath, are not evidences
of suffering, for that the invalid is insen-
sible. They say also, that when the senses
are retained, there is usually no such
sfasm. A leading medical authority
states that scarcely one person in fifty is
sensible at the point of death and some
physicians assert that they have never seen
a death bed in which the patient was sem
sible. AS life fails, nature, it would seem,
benefcently interposes, deadening the
sensibility of the nerves, and otherwise
preparing the individual for the great and
inevitable change -PHIadelpha0 Ledger.

A FAST WoMAN.-The New York Mr.

writes over the signature of Belle Brit

which | learned the definition of esfast

attractions Of young lady, who receives
a good deal of attention here from the

tleman remarked that he had not vet been
able to discover the charms of the fair one
in question.
co. said the lady, "she is fast, and
that's what makes all the gentlemen like
her."
I" But what does that mean?" inquired
the gentleman, a little roguishly.
"Why," said the lady, ga fast woman
