LAVENDER.

How prone we are to hide and hoard
Each little token love has stored,
To tell of happy hours;
We Law aside witt tender care
. catered book, a curl of hair,
A bunch of faded flowers.
When Death has led with pulseless hand
our darlngs to the silent land
Awhile we sit bereft.
Rut time goes on. and anon we rise,
Our dead being gathered from our eyes,
We gather what is left.
The books they loved, the songs they sung
The little flute whose music rung
So cheerfully of old;
The nictures we have seen them paint
Tho last plucked flower, with odor faint,
That fell from fingers cold.
We smooth and fold with reverent care,
The robes they, living, used to wear;
And painful pulses stir,
As DER the relics of our dead
With bitter rain of tears We spread
Pale, purple lavender.
And when we come in after years,
With only tender April tears
On cheeks once white with care
To look on treasures put away
Despairing on that far-otf day,
A subtle scent is there.
Dew-wet and fresh we gathered them,
These fragrant flowers; now every stem
Is bare of all its bloom.
Tear-wet and sweet we strewed them here
To lend our relics sacred, dear
Their beautiful perfume.
Their scent abides on book and lutte,
On curl and flower; and, with its mute
But eloquent appeal,
1t wins from us a deeper sob,
For our lost dead-a sharper throb
Than we are won't to feel.
1t whispers of the long ago,
It's love, its loss, its aching woe,
And buried sorrows stir;
And teas like those we shed of old
Roll down our cheeks as we behold
Our faded lavenderl
AL tie Year Round.

Singular Case of Sudden Madness.

singular Ease OF sudden Madness.
! Henry T. OStrander, son of I.inas
| Ostrander, is a young man well known
III this city. He has been in the life
! insurance business for years. and has
an office at No. A. South Miller street.
He lived with his father at No. 46 Du-
/ oolS street. Young 0strander is about
thirty years of age, single, and of an
active. nervous temperament.
| For some time back his health has
been seriously falling, and recently he
has evinced indications of an affected
mind. He was in the little store or
office. South Miller street, on Saturday
evening, at about eight o'clock, when
he suddenly sprang up and shot of up
| through the yard. between the store
and his fathers residence, past the
house, OH through Dubois street and
down First. lie swung his hat in the
air and shouted MurderW Fire"
Police and the like, while he tore
| down First street, running in a zig
gag fashion from one sidewalk over to
the other. His yelis were heard for
| blocks, and the people rushed to doors
and windows to learn the cause of the
connection.
The young man IAN into private
residence or his way down First street,
aud frightened the ladies of the house
very much, He slung things around
generally. and finally made off with a
school book belonging to one of the
girls.
His cries of fire started an alarm,
adding greatly to the general excite
ment and confusion. He eluded all
efforts to capture him, and hurried on
to the police headquarters. Marshal
Bancroft was going to the door to see
what the noise was about, and young
Ostrander ran right into his arms. He
was taken into the back room and sat
down. He talked III an incoherent
way for some time, and then grabbed
up slate and pencil which were ~ ing
on the table.
In trice he had written one side f
the slate full. He then flung it on
the floor, breaking it into fragm hts,
smashed one of the large spittoons and
clltfed the officers and one or two
friends Of his who had come in, right
left. The paroXysm lasted several
minutes and it took several strong men
to hold him, though he is a little bit of
a fellow, hardly weighing a hundred
pounds.
The unfortunate man was at last
conveyed home in IA carriage. He
was, however, very violent at fire.
Flent intervals throughout Saturday
night and Sunday, and it was necessary
to keep four or five men at his bed
side all the while. This morning he
was quieter and was enabled to sleep
some.
DR.. Charles n. Wooley is attending
him. 1t is hoped that he may be more
rational at times, but his complete re-
covery is hardly thought possible.
Friends of the family tell us that it is
believed his mind is permanently
wrecked .-NeaobuTg (N. ~ JotnnaL

Effects Of Pain Oh the Heart.

In q paper sent in by DR.. F. Franck
to the Academy of Sciences, of Paris,
the effects of painful excitement on the
heart were discussed, on the strength of
experiments executed during the months
of February to August. The starting
point of these experiments lies in the
fact, accidentally noticed, of prolonged
interruption of the beating Of the heart
and respiratory motions of a rabbit,
under the nostrils of which sponge,
impregnated with chloroform, was
placed. This phenomenon, already dis
cussed in various ways by different
psychologists, is Independent of chloro-
form, since any acrid and volatile sub
stance, such as ammonia or acetic acid,
will produce the same effect, and is only
a particular case of general law thus
euunciated by DR.. CT. Bernard: "The
stopping of the heart, or syncope, may
follow any violent or sudden disturbing
action of any nature whatever" In
man, great many intermittencies of the
heart, syncopes, and some sudden
deaths, have no other cause but IA violent,
painful impression, either cerebral or
peripheric, such as, for instance, epigas-
tric contusions. But these reflex actions,
produced on the region of the heart,
must be distinguished from the mere
mechanical disturbances, provoked by
great emissions of blood caused by the
extirpation of tumors, etc. There are
many contradictory opinions on this mat
ter, but our author affirms, from his ex-
periments, that the immediate effect of
a painful impression is stoppage or
slackening of the throbbing of the
heart. If the principal sensi
tive nerves be excited by vari
GUS irritants, the following general re-
suits will be observed: Exciting the
nostrils with ammonia, acetic acid or
chloroforln is specially. but not exclu-
sively, transmitted to the spinal bulb by
the trigimina; the heart receives the i'm
preston through the medium of the
pneumo-gastric nerves, and the effect on
the heart is proportional to the intensity
of the excitement. All experiments con,
cur in confirming the fact that the
union between the trigimini and the
pneumo-g gastric nerves is real. When pain
is suppressed, chloral, chloroform, ether.
morphine, produce by themselves no
action on the heart; but this is owing to |
the paralysis of the pneumo-gastrio
aeryes caused by these agents,

Extravaganza.

When man in New York has once
taken fine house he doesn't like to
leave it, even if his income begins to
fail. It makes people talk, and his posi-
ton may be affected. There died not
long ago gentleman, who, up to his
death, had been paying $4,000 a year
for his house, and could leave nothing
for his family. He took it when times
were flush and didn't give it up. In
London, where rents are higher than
anywhere except New York, no one has
paid such rent as this since Lord
Palmerston, when prime minister, paid
the same sum for Cambridge House in
Piccadilly. He was childless, eighty,
had an income of EGO, 900 q year in real
estate and salary, and his wife had up
ward of EGO, 900 year more. London
men with e1OO,0O year in themost solid
securities are content with houses rented
at e1, 900 a year. The London rent of
the two richest men in England did not
amount to $1,000. Their property was
worth $50, 600, 900. -...-

Damages by War.

In the United States Senate Mr.
Mitchell, from the committee on claims,
hns given notice that he will at M early
day call up the bill for the relief of DR..
,. Milton Best, Of Kentucky. This is
bill of some notoriety, having already
passed Congress and been vetoed by the
President. 1t involves the question of
allowing certain class Of claims grow
ing ont Of the war, and proposes to pay
the claimant S25, 900 for the destruction
of his dwelling house and its contents by
order Of the United States military au-
thorities at Paducah, KY, on the twenty
sixth of March, 1864, for the reason. that
it was in the way Of lie effective use OF
the guns Of Fort Anderson and constituted
shelter for the enemy. The loyalty OF
the claimant has been established be-
yond question, the report of the COM
mittee stating that he was enthusiastic
cally loyal to the government OF the
United States. The bill has been be-
fore Congress since 1870, and passed in
1872; but the President yeoted it, stat
ing in the veto that " it is II claim for
on account Of the. ravnges
of the war. 1t cannot be denied that
the payment Of this claim would invite
the presentation of demands for very
large sums Of money, and such is the
magnitude of the claims that
may be made against the government for
necessary and unavoidable destruction
of property by the army, that deem
it proper to return this bill for recon-
sideration." He also says: Ii it be
deemed proper to make compensation
for such losses, suggest, for the con
sideration of Congress, whether it would
not be better, by general legislation, to
some means for the ascertain
ment of the damage in all similar cases,
and thus save to tile claimants the ex-
pense, Inconvenience and delay Of at
tendance upon Congress, and at the same
time save the government from the
danger of having imposed upon it fic-
titious or exaggerated claims supported
wholly by en.parte proof" The COM
mittee on claims subsequently recon-
mended that the bill be passed, not
the objections OF the Presi-
lent, and in the report cited number OF
precedents for the passage of the bill;
several times it has been brought up in
The Senate, but always caused protract-
ed discussion. ....

The 6 Edu Gated Flea Business,

The american Naturalist for Janu-
ary contains an interesting article on
Educated Fleas.'' The education of
these little animals, it appears, is mere
sham and a pretense--alf the efforts be-
ing produced bya sldllful guidance of
their struggles. The most wonderful
thing about exhibitions of this nature is
he proof they afford of the strength en-
tirely out of proportion to the weight
and size of the animal The weight of
flea is about five-hundredths of a.grain,
OF, if well fed, about one-tenth OF
grain, yet the model of street car
drawn by one Of. them, weighs abY9t one
hundred and twenty grains, or about
1. 900 times the weight Of tho flea tha
