The Philadelphia autopsy upon the

TO one or other of the brothers; but that

The war on whisky dealers is

The war on whisky dealers is ex-
tending. The Gallatin Tennesseean
of last Saturday reports that a
number of the fair and elegant Ia
dies of Gallatin, married and UNI
married, interested in checking the
evils of intemperance in the town,
have resolved to meet next week
and visit in a body all the sellers OF
whisky, brandies, etc, and see il
they can't persuade them to aban-
don the business. We are informed
that the ladies will march two
abreast into every establishment
where Intoxicating liquors are kept
for sale. 1t is supposed that theil
movements will create quite a stir
among the jolly vendors.

The Simmons agony seems to be over
and Mr.. Butler tallies one. The opposi-
ton of both the Massachusetts Senators
did not avail to defeat Mr.. Buffers
nominee any more than the active efforts
of the majority of the delegation in the
House. The appointment Is of course a
very bad one, and another reputation
of the promise of Civil Service Reform.
| The Massachusetts gentlement are
properly enough indignant at it. But
| they must be patient if the rest of the
country does not get excited about it.
A great many honest people passed the
stage of virtuous indignation more than
year ago, and were either laughed at
or abused for it.

CoFFEE.-The price Of this article,
now regarded as indispensable to every
taste, it is stated is quite likely to go
even beyond its present high figures.
The alleged cause is a short crop in the
two chief coffee producing countries
Brazil and the East Indies. Importers
not unfrequently endeavor to invent
reasons for the failure of prospective
crops, hoping thereby to brighten
buyers into paying better prices, but
now the augmented price seems to have
a foundation in fact. We hear of several,
in impecuious condition, who are already
using parched wheat and burnt rye as Il
substitute.

The Heart.

From 8 recent review of Rev. Dr. experiments regarding the force exerted by the human heart we condense as follows: "The heart is composed of innumerable flores arranged like two balls of twine, each with cavity in it's center, and both completely enveloped in third ball. These flores are, how ever, not continuous, as in the case of twine wound on ball, but work inde- By calculating the force exerted by these flores, when either contracted or extended, and expressing the result in ''s foot tons '-that is, the force required to lift ton to the height of one foot-it appears that the daily work of the left ventricle alone, which lifts at each stroke three ounces of blood through height of 1923 feet, is equal to about 89, 706 foot-tons. Els the relative power of the right ventricle to that of the left, in the pro portion of five to thirteen, the total daily work of both is equal to 124, ,208 foot-tons. Although the average weight of the heart is about 9-36 ounces, the work done by it in given time exceeds that accomplished by all other muscles exercised in @ boat race during the same period. Helmholz, the German phy- sicist, proved that the heart could raise its own weight 20, 28O feet in an hour, while the best locomotive engine could
 only raise it's own weight 2, 700 feet in
 the same time. An active climber,
 with the full, exercise of all the needed
 muscles, could only, accomplish 5000 feet in nine hours, or e-tWentieth the
 work done by the heart. 8I .@'ai s'ra

A Good Hit.

Many of our readers will remember the exciting controversy which arose, in 1845, between, the governments of the United States and Great Britain, concerning the boundary line between Oregon and the British territory. The States claimed up to 54 deg. 40 min. north latitude, while England would draw the line at AZ deg. The cry of the hot-headed ones at Washington, was "Fifty- -four:forty, or fight r Wise counsels, however, at length prevailed. The British Government, in IS46, pro- posed the parallelrof sA9ydeg., which was finally accepted. wer-r eft .C3sisa

The Philadelphia Female.

Mrs. Burnham, in the Repu6lico,s, of St. Louis, has the following pleasant satire on the uncomfortable cleanliness of the Philadelphians: It makes no difference with the Philadelphia female about the weather. She breaks the ice in her pail and goes cheerfully to work glazing those immaculate steps, while tue winds houl round her and the mer- cury goes down to unheard-of depths.
 Bless her she slides off the stoop, she skates on her ear into the gutter, and is rescued by some of the occupants who are not scrubbing. Nobody can hold their perpendicular one instant upon the scene of her exploits, and she looks with pleasure on the downfall of the Yorker. The native is all the while in- venting something to circumvent the scrubbers. The latest kink is an article called Creepers, little horse shoe shaped thing, with sharp, short spikes, that screws on to boot-heels. The Philadelphia man wears the creepers, and the Philadelphia woman is in a ceaseless stew lest he forget to take 'em off on the steps and go prodding around on her carpets. Therefore the instant the windows are properly glozed and the stoop iced, she sits in the hall to watch for the creepers-a perfectly harmless life, but one destitute of at traction to an ease-loving, scrub-hating woman like me. .4. ...- [

Sleighing. Under tho warmest of buffalo-robes, Muffled and tucked in the thickest of shags, Drawn by the fieetest of livery nags,

 snow Crisply the frosty track craunches below: l and my love are a-sleighing. Hurry the houses and hurry the trees; Ride we so fleet and ride we so fast, Swiftly fly the fences and lanes we go past l; and my love are a-sleighing. I and my love are alone in the world; Silence and snow bury all from my sight; Critters the ice track and streams the moons

 and my love are a-sleighlng. Int the atmosphere faster we whirl Trembles my darling in keenest of breeze Tries she the reins from my strong hands to .ra seize ? and my love are a-sleighing. No! she is smiling with happiest look '' Frightened, dear no; you can drive, - know we'll.

Proofs of the Worlds Age.

Rents Cavern, at Torquay, is said to furnish proofs that this globe is, at least, 500,o0 years old. At any rate, it gives indications of an immense an- tiquity. The upper stalagmitic floor divides erelics of the last two or three thousand years from 8 deposit full of the bones of extinct mammali, many of which indicate an arctic climate. The floor, from 16 inches to 5 five feet and upward, closelyscorrespond to the pres ent amount of drip in various parts of the cave, so that the cave itself, with it's various Assures and crevices. does not appear to have been materially altered since the stalagmitic was deposited. But names cut into this stalagmitie more than two centuries ago, are still legible, showing that, in spot where the drip is now very copious, and where the stalagmite is 12 feet thick, not more than about one-eighth of an inch, or say one-hundredth of foot, has been de- posited in that length of time British Association Report, 1869, p. 136). This gives foot in 20, ,O00 years, or feet in 100, ,000; and there is no reason what ever to consider this to be too high an estimate. This older stalagmite is very thick and is much more crystalline than the upper one, so that it was probably formed at slower rate. Yet below this again, in a solid breccia, very diff ferent from the cave earth, undoubted works of art have been found. A fair estimate will therefore give us, say, 100, 900 years for the upper stalagmite, and about 25O, 900 for the deeper layer of much greater thickness, and of more crystalline texture. But between these we have deposit of cave-earth which implies different set of physical con- ditions and an alteration in the geogra- phy of the surrounding country. We have no means of measuring the period during which this continued to be formed, but it was probably very great; and there was certainly some great change in physical conditions during the deposit of the lower stalagmite, be- cause the fauna of the county under went striking change in the interval. If we add 15O, years for this period, we arrive at the sum of half million, as representing the years that have probably elapsed since fiints of human workmanship were buried in the lowest deposits of Rents Cavern.

" A Perfect Angel."

A young man who was lucky enough to clean up in Ophir, Consolidated Vir- ginia, and other stocks, the snug little sum of $30,000, with which he hasten ed home to his native Buckeye State, writes to friend in this city to say that fortune still smiles upon him. He has achieved handsome young bride, and with her farm of 300 acres, not two miles from his own old roof-tree. His bride is the only daughter of a rich old granger-an oily man of the sod, worth bushels of money. As our young friend went home "wel1 heeled," and, more over, is as fine lad as ever stepped into shoe leather, there was, of course, no "cruel parient to distract the course of true love in this instance everything was lovely with the old man.
