By way of ascertaining low fast
we can think, experiments, ut the
use of several forms of apparatus, have
been made by scientific men. In all
the experiments the time required for
a simple thought was never less than
the fortieth of a second. Ia other
words the mind can perform not more
than twenty-four hundred simple acts
a minute, fifteen hundred minute be-
ing the rate for persons of middle age.
From these figures it will be seen how
absurd are many popular notions in re-
gard to the fleetness of thought, how
exaggerated are the terrors of remorse
full memory that morals have invented
for the moment of dying. And we may
reasonably discount" stories also told
by men saved from drowning, cut down
before death by hanging, or rescued
from sudden peril from other causes.
No doubt man may think of great
multitude of experiences, good or bad,
In few minutes; but that that the
thoughts and emotions of long life
may surge through the MUD during
the seconds of asphyxiation Is mani
festly impossible.

BrOad-Chestad Horses.

wind, " says an old horseman, "is
the grand secret of fast horse. Good
lungs Will cover a multitude of faults;
while, on the other hand, perfection of
shape and form are useless when the
wind is out. The chest, therefore, in all
cases, should be large and capacieus. In
shape it may vary somewhat, according
to the service to which the horse is to be
put. IF he is to be kept for slow work
and heavy drawing, the chest may be
nearly circular in form, because this
shape is the one for strength and bulk,
to receive and bear up against the pres
sure of the collar, while at the same time
sufficient room is secured for that expan-
sion of the lungs caused by slow, regula
work. But if the chest is circular, let il
be at the same time deep, or else the
lungs may be cramped. A horse with a
shallow chest is worthless for any pur-
pose. The rule, then, is thisi For q
draught horse, a circular but deep chest;
but, as you pass through the different
degrees of speed, up to the racer and
trotter, the chest will increase in depth,
compared to its roundness, until, for the
highest rate of speed, you must take a
chest as deep as a greyhound, and at
the same time not lacking in strength.
Every breeder should keep this rule in
mind when selecting his brood mares
and stations, for he may be sure that
shaliow-chested parents never beget
deep-cheSted colts"

it into oi,r boz. We et to Potstiatn, pick
up ali the villages on our way, also, aid
put all in. The bottom is not covered
yet. We will take Paris with all her col
umns, which helps little so we must take
London, also. Vienna must go in, too.
and, not to disturb the peace, St. Peters
burg follows next. All this stuff lies at
the bottom, We begin now to take up
all the cities, towns, 3illares; forts,
farms, everything that human hands
have built In Europe, and all the ships
floating on the sea. It helps nothing !
We must go to the Old and New Worlds,
throw In the pyramids of Egypt and fac
tories Of America, and everything else
made by men in Asia, Australia and

to make them even, and as we are bound
to fill the box, let us see whether we can
not do it with people, and lay theth In
like herrings. One row will require
IL, 900, and 4, ZOO rows make one layer
of $4,000, ,OuO-just enough for North
Americans. To make them feel more
comforta BILE we will put between each
layer bed of straw and leaves, say
thirty feet thick, which will take all the
straw and leaves in the world. Upon the
Americans we will lay 5000, COO of Aus
tralians and 5000, 600 of Asiatics, an
other layer. There are about 800, 600, 900
more Asiaties thus we proceed until all
the rest of mankind are in-1, 400, ,OOO,-
600, in about thirty layers. The box is
now about half full, and it would re-
quire about fifteen times that number of
people to fill it. What shall we do2 Ami

whole animated creation, yet it is not
full and all this is only one geographic
cubic mile, of which the earth contains

States, to suppress the tramp evil. A

duty of the Supe, intendent (who is TO
be subordinate TO the State Board of
Charities) TO rent buildings in the sew

shall be put, and directs him to regard

THE PRESIDENCY.
The Alleged Tilden Plan for. Displa cling
Hayes.


Hayes.
The Washington correspondent of the
Ne~ Orleans Times gives what pur-
ports to be correct account of the plan
fixed upon last summer fo1 displacing
Hayes and inaugurating Tilden. Just
before leaving for Europe Tilden, ac-
coFjing to this correspondent, had a
cofifefepcs with intimate friends, con-
sisting of leading men from every State
and one member of the Supreme Court,
to devise means to gain the place to
which he believed himself to have been
elected. This idea was to hit upon
plan that could be acted on Immediately.
Quo warranto proceedings would be too
long, and it was finally concluded that
bill might be introduced giving the Su-
preme Court original jurisdiction in GER
tain matters connected with State rights.
A bill was to be passed permitting the
State of Louisiana to come before the
United States Supreme Court and de-
clare that the electoral vote of that State
had been wrongly counted for Hayes,
and apply for writ commanding Mr..
Hayes to show by what warrant this
was done. It was thought that Senators
enough could be found to be induced,
under various influences, to pass the bill.
A prominent Louisiana politician was to
arrange for Louisiana coming forward
and demanding the bill. A jury would
be required, and it was decided that the
bill should allow the selection of a,jury
from the Chief Justices of the various
States, and, if they should be exhausted,
then from the Associate Justices. When
the matter was ready, it was laid before
five prominent Southern mel. Much to
the disgust of the managers, they all re-
fused to have anything to do with it in
any way, because their section wanted
peace, and the proposed proceeding
meant revolution. No influence could
be brought to bear sufficiently potent to
change these Southerners, and, much to
the disgust of Tilden and others inter
ested, the scheme failed, and thus, as
the Times correspondent has it, "Those
SO called Confederate Brigadiers saved
Mr.. Hayes throne and title for the
second time" The same authority as
serts that Hendricks did not favor the
plan, and went to Europe to be out of
the way while it was being matured

house for not more than three nor less
than six months for the first offense for
not less than six nor more than twelve
months for the second, and for an in

vides that the vagrant shall be allowed
fair compensation for his work at the

ther, it provides that, in order to avoid
needless competition with "honest la
Dor, the vagrants shall not be hired out
