The Heart OF a Turtle Found In Hens
Egg.

WE have Just heard of one of the most
wonderful freaks of nature it has ever
been our lot to record. 1t seems that one
day last summer little girl, living in
Beaver street, was down near the Island
creek, playing with one of her mates, when
she discovered a very small turtle OF the
land species Thinking it would be nice
to have the shell for plaything, the child
picked it up, and carried it home and gave
it to her mother, who first cut off the tur-
ties head and then proceeded to pick 1T
out of the shell in pieces. After awhile
the heart was taken out, and excited no
little curiosity from the fact that 1t was
beating still, although some time had
elapsed since the turtles life was supposed
to be ended by taking off his head. Wish
ing to experiment little and see just how
much life there was in turtles heart out
side his shell, the mother pierced it with
a needle, and in this condition it showed
life for four and half days, when it was
thrown out in the back yard, and finally
disposed of by being swallowed whole by
an old gray hen, which, with few other
fowls, were kept as sort of pets for the
children.
Not many days after the heart had been
thrown away, and all recollection of il
had vanished, old gray "Biddy took it
into her head to lay an egg. And now
comes the marvellous part of the transac,
tion. Having occasion to use an egg next
morning, to settle the coffee, the mother
took " Biddy's" egg, opened 1t, and in the
yery centre of it, instead of the yolk, she
found the cery Identical heart which had
been thrown away previously, and in a!
perfect Q condition as ever. She conlo
hardly believe her eyes, and SO she called
her husband and children, all OF whom
were satisfied that it was the same heart
as the needle punctures were still plainly
visible.-TfOU, N. y, Times.

Honesty the Best Policy.

A CURIOUS insight is furnished into the
honesty of the Partisan population, but
more especially of Partisan cab-drivers
and policemen, by the fortnightly lists
which French papers publish of objects
found in public vehicles or tnoroughiar0s
and deposited by the finders at the Pre-
lecture de Police. In recent list, emu
merating objects deposited at the prefec-
ture between the Goth of December and
the 18th of January, are 18 watches, 90
purses or 'pocket-books Containing alto
gether 81, 40 f. 80 c.), rings, gold snuff
box, bracelets, s lockets, Z brooches, and
pair of gold spectacles All these OBJ
jects were picked up in the streets or in
public gardens. In cabs, omnibuses, and
theatres were found % purses and pocket
hooks Containing 63,698 f. 10 c., 10
watches, 23 opera glasses. pearl neck
lace, 3 gold necklaces and lockets, brace
lets, AZ umbrellas, 8 ladies' shawls or
cloaks, and 9gentlemen's overcoats The
most surprising feature of the list consists.

THIS question, which suggests itself to
Foreigners, leads unfortunately to a very
prosaic explanation. II seems that the
Prefecture de Police, entertaining small
confidence IN the same innate probity ol
mankind, has recourse TO an ingenious
and eiicacious method of seeing that losl
objects are not misappropriated by the
finders. tWitha view Of impresslng upOr

How the World May be Destroyed.

ASTRONOMY, In conjunction with optics,
has been making some extraordinary dis.
coveries in the last few months. The
spectroscope is a wonderful aid to the
telescope, and as the latter brings TO view
distant worlds the former indicates the
materials of which they are made. The
late eclipse of the sun demonstrated that
immense volumes of hydrogen gas stretch
ed upwards hundreds of miles above Its
surface, making reality the oceans of
flame which have often figured in hyper.
bole.
A thought has occurred to us in this
connection, which we venture TO COM
mend to the attention of our astronomi-
cal and geological friends. II is q well.
known fact in geology that in past periods
vastly greater heat has pervaded the
earth than at the present time. The flora
and fauna of tropical climate flonrished
at the poles Scientific men have been
ingenious in speculation about the cause
OF the change. Some have ascribed IL to
the internal heat of the earth, which has
been gradually evolved in successive ages,
Others have attributed it TO different
relation of the axis of the earth to the
plane of the elliptic. Possibly others
may have suggested change in the in
do not remember to have seen 1t in our
limited reading. But the phenomenon
finds an easy solution on this hypothesis
During the last year q small star in the
constellation of the Northern Crown sud
denly became bright as star of the first
magnitude. Astronomers at once re-
sorted to the telescope to explain the mys-
terry, but could find only confirmation of
the fact, with 70 hint of its cause Opti-
clans applied the spectroscope, and at once
the mystery was revealed. A vast ocean
of hydrogen was in flame, and Its combus-
tion melted the small star, one of the most
brilliant in the armament. The mathe-
maticans took up the data given them in
the increase of light, and proved that for
| any worlds of which this star may be the
central sun, there must have been an in
crease of heat to seven hundred and eighty
times the normal standard. If these
worlds are made of similar materials with
our earth, they must have dissolved under
| this intense heat, as in the final catastro-
phe of our globe predicted by Peter.
Our thought, then, is simply this. If by
internal changes, or combustions in the
central sun, the condition of all the planets
must be senslhly affected and, if our sun
is liable to such changes as this star in the
northern crown 1--WE know it has untold
volumes of hydrogen above its surfce)
why may not the former extreme heat OF
the earth have been due simply to atmos
pheric changes in the SUM- And why
may they not occur on a larger scale in the
future, heralding the final Judgment p

WHY He BECAME A SENATOR
And when any Senator charges that
the political course on this floor of an
other Senator would be controlled by
the consideration of the question of his
reelection, 1t is an aspersion upon his
integrity as Senator, and an implica-
ton that he will violate his oath as such.
When Senator allows his official Sena-
torial conduct here to be governed by
such motives as those, it is better that bis
place should be filed by another man !;
and let me say that l do not hold the
seat occupy here because would have
sought the place which do hold, nor
would have held it or have been n cum
eldate for it, but for the fact that I de-
sired to keep out others who were even
less fit to be here than myself, and that
l could select in my State many men at
that time who, if it had not been for
these very disabilities imposed by the
fourteenth amendment, would have stood
on this floor much ADLER advocates of the
principles of the Republican party,
much stronger men of the State of South

as said when I began, that the speech

echoes the sentiments Of the vast mn
jority Of the people of the Republican
party; and believe that the acuteness
OF the Senator from Indiana has in this
instance failed him, and that he has not
sufficiently studied the sentiment of the
party of which lie is so distinguished an
ornament. I think that when the peo-
pie speak on this subject. he will find
that ho represents not that majority
which might have the right to read u
