John MOrrlssey and His Career.

John Morrissey, who is creating some
thing of n sensation in New York on ac-
count of his difficulty with Tammany,
was born in Tipperary, Ireland. His
first battle in the prize ring was fought
with George Thompson, in 1852.
Thompson struck foul blow and lost
the fight.
Morrissey's next fight was with Yankee
Sullivan for 81 900 side at Boston Cor
ncrs, on the line between New York and
Massachusetts, October u, 1853. The
fight was given to Morrisscy. His next
contest was with John G. Heenan, the
"Benicia Boy" October 90, 1858, for
81 1900 n side, ut Long Point, Canada.
Morrissey's natural weight was 205
pounds, but he had been trained down
to l68 pounds. His height il five feet,
eleven and three. quarter inches. He
won this fight, and it was his disappear
ance in the prize ring. He was sent to
Congress twice from New York city, and
has always been engaged largely in
politics. He now keeps noted faro
bank in Saratoga, and one i'll New York
city, and is supposed to be wealthy.
During the Black Friday excitement
Morrissey lost $4,000, but he w.nt to
Col. Fisk. who was also in the gold ring

her dying mother; that in the last act,
where the interest was Just eliminating,
that dear mother was lying dead. Such

Shifting Ccntcr Of Foundation.

In recent statistical work published
by Prof. Walker, there is curious COM
putation of the movement Of what is
called the "ccnter OF population Of
the United States up to 1870. The
populations Of countries are supposed to
be grouped ut their geographical ccnters,
aud then each individual being assumed
to be OF the same gravity Of every other
and the counting being assumed to be n
plane surface without weight, the
"center of population " il determined
by computing the point at which the
country could be piyoted 50 that tho
weight Of he people on our side should
inst balance the weight Of tho people on
the other side. According to the table
computed in this way:
The center Of population has moved
steadily westward since 100, but Inns
shifted very little to the north or south
Of the thirty.ninth degree OF latitude.
In 1870 the "center' was twenty.three
miles east OF Baltimore. In ten years
it moved fortr.one miles, md was
eighteen miles west Of Baltimore. In
1910 it was detected somewhat to the
south, and had moved thirty.si1 miles |;
in 1920 it had moved fifty miles further
to the west and south md i'll 1880 it
reached its most southern point, and WINS
thirty.nire miles west OF its former
position. In the next ten years it moved
little to tho north and tifty-fvc miles
to the west; and in the following ten
years turned slightly to the south, and
again moved tifty-five miles. Between
1850 and 1860. the greatest western
movement (eighty-one miles) was occa.
stoned by the settlement OF the Pacific
coast. DIN 1870 tho center had again
shiftei{orty-two miles to the west and
slightly to the north, and had reached n
point forty eight miles east by-north Of
Cincinnati. Tho total movement from
1890 to 1870 was 800 miles almost due
west. The variation north md south,
taking the extreme north and south
positions, did not exceed twenty miles
The movement was to the west and
slightly southwark from 1890 to 1880
almost due west from 1880 to 1850; md
to the west and slightly northward from
1850 to 1870"

A Turkish Cotton Worm.

A ,lisagreeablc reptile known in Turk
isl, Ms calcale has lately made its appear
ance in the cotton plantations in the
Thracian peninsula. The calcale is n
species Of worm, especially fond OF the
cotton and melon plant and the vine.
Its feeding hours arc during the night,
when it cnIwls up the stem Of the plant
and sucks out the juice. In the daytime
it lies hid in the earth, and tho peasants
are consequently obliged to hunt for it
Mt night. When the cllcale appears in
cotton and melon fields, it can only be
exteruinatcd by planting the fields with
grain, which it will not touch, for ut
lcast twosucccssive years. In vineyards
the remedy employed iS to dig up the
earth to considerable depth round each
plant. Tho villages on tho European
coa1t of the Hellespont produce large
quantities Of cotton for expectation, mud
the appearance Of the calcnlo worm is
serious disaster.

How TO Secure Good Health.

A gentleman who has always enjoyed
good health, tells lis how it WIS done, MS
follows:
battle all over in cold water every
morning, summer aud winter, and find
it luxury which no one would DO with.
out after getting well accustomed to it.
I have through this means pretty well
overcome my susceptibility to taking
cold. In winter I find brisk walk tho
best means Of creating a thorough reac.
ton after the bath. have bought me n
shower bath. I have also practiccd the
plan of wetting the head with cold water
night and morning, for the past six
years, and have not had cold i'll my
head for the whole time, and it has quite
checked my hai from falling out, and
partly restored what l had lost.
l aim to cultivate Tranquil, content
ed and cheerful mind ut all times, for
without this all else would avail compar.
atively little. l hardly know to which
of these causes to attribute the most
benefit I am sure the neglect of any one
would materially impair my health, for
I have been compelled to study these
things, not having very strong consti-
tuition. Numerous ailments which for
merly troubled mo have disappeared.
Instead OF attacking them one by one,
each with different remedy rs they
made their appearance, trust l have
struck Mt the root OF them all by build
ing up and Strengthening my whole sys-
TEN; not by medicines, which 1 have
now scarcely touched for years, but
simply by due attention to the aboveand
other simple laws Of health, which so
many think they can afford to disregard.

To n Girl who Is "Finished."

Jorh Billings gives the following:
Gertrude-You tell me that you have
been two years at n boarding school, and
have Just finished your education, aud
want to know what you shall do next.
Listen, my gushing Gertrude, and l
will tell you.
Get up in the morning in good sea-
sou, go down into the kitchen, seize n
potato by the throat with one hand and
knife with the other, skin the potato,
and dozen more Just like it, stir up the
buckwheat batter, look in the oven and
SEQ how the biscuit arc doing, hustle
around generally, step oil the cats tail,
and help your good old mother get
breakfast.
After breakfast put up the young
children's luncheon for school. help wash
up the dishes, sweep some, put things
in order, sometime during the day knit
ut least two inches and hnlf OF some
one OF your brothers little blue wooden
stockings for next winter.
In other words go to work and make
yourself useful now that you have be-
come ornamental, and if you hive any
time left, after the beds ARE all made up,
and the ducks have been fed, pitch into
the piano, and make the old rattle-box
scream with music.
Do this for one year, and some likely
young fellow in tho neighborhood will
hear Of it, and will begin to hang around
you, and say sweeter things than you
ever heard before, and finally will give
you chance to keep house on your own
hook.
You follow my advice, Gerty, and see
il he don't.
