gives out the same amount ofEheat it would
if burned rapidly in the fire upon the
hearth. 1t is by this that the warmth Of
the body is maintained at so.uniform atem-
perature; and the wisdom of the arrange
ment is manifest when it is remembered
that If the temperature of our bodies were
to fall much below ninety-five degrees we
should die Certainly it would not do to
depend on external fires for this. The
furnace should be within and man should
take proper food as fuel, just as he intel
ligently puts wood on the fire, In cold
climates he must use more fuel in his body
as we'll as in his house. Hence, we can
easily believe the accounts, otherwise in
credibly, of the Esquimaux, for example,
eating twelve pounds of tallow at a meal
They would die upon the diet of torrid
climate, as certainly as the people in the
latter would die if attempting to live upon
a Greenlander's food.

A Masonic Incident.
From the Corner Stone

A young man, native of Boston,
for short time resident of one of
our Western States, but whose family
still reside here, was most horribly
mangled by a train Of cars passing
over his body. His friends and family
were informed of the sad accident, and
that his body had been forwarded to
Boston. Upon the arrival of the train
which conveyed his corpse, some
friends repaired to the depot to receive
and prepare it for sepulcher before
conveying it to the family. Upon AZ
irving at the station they found a
rough looking box, properly directed,
but upon which there was no charge
all expenses having been prepaid
This box the friends conveyed to a
suitable place, where the necessary
preparations could be made. Upon
opening the box they were much sur
prised to find not only the corpse
properly dressed and laid out, but in
closed in a beautiful coffin, expensive
ly ornamented, and the side of the
face which had been so sadly disfgur-
ed ingeniously concealed by the flow
ers which were profusely placed around
the body. Upon looking at the plate
on the coffin, besides the name, age,
etc, o. the deceased, there was to be
seen that simple but powerful little
emblem, the square and compass,
which has so often originated the in
quiry, "Whatis Masonry % and the
mystery was solved.

looked at him in a very threading man

we believe, and as many Of the Grant
managers believe, that can reject Grant;
and that is new outbreak of violence
in the southern states or, what would
answer the same purpose, such plausi.
BILE false reports of violence in the
South as would thoroughly arouse the
northern mind. Tho Grant leaders
and managers are everywhere talking
about "the rebellion That is their
principal stock in trade. They appeal
to the Union sentiment They
curry favor with the {" Union soldiers
as though these had not, seven years
ago, heceme citizens; they are doing
their worst 10 breach up new CRU
SADIE against the South. 1t belongs to
the southern democrats to defeat this
atrocious and unpatriotic plot and the
way to do it is to maintain-as they
can-even better order in the South
than is observed at the North And

The SOCIAL Revolution IN WASH
IvGToN-Things have changed in
Washington. A dozen years ago our
colored brother was no positive weight
in the social or political scale. His
present status is illustrated by an Incl
dent that occurred not long since at
the capital: A Western man dropped
into the House Of Representatives to
note what was going on. Reckoning
to well-dressed man of color who
stood near him, he said, "Jim, will
you show me to the BARRIERS shop
| want to get shaved and have my
boots BACKED"
The "Jim" thus tamiliarly address
ed happened to be one of the colored
Representatives, who quietly replied,
