States are due to the men who originated the
present investigation of the electoral frauds,
that the revelations already made before the
committee eliminating the Secretary of the
Treasury and the republican Senator from
Ohio, leave no room to doubt the wisdom of
this investigation, and that while they would
sanction no assault upon the official title of
President Hayes, they urge the prosecution
and punishment of all who aided the frauds
by which the Presidency was wrested from the
democracy

ID. F. Swingel and young woman OF
Chicago differ in opinion as TO whether
they are married. One day the Rev.
DR., Evarts was called upon by the pair
TO unlangle their complicated love affair
and he advised them TO let him unite
them in marriage. She was willing, but
Swlngle was adverse, and 1t was only by
long urging that he was induced to grasp
her hand. The clergyman lost no time,
but hurridly said: 81 pronounce you man
and wife," There being no further
ceremony, Swipgle claims that b g is not
husband, while the yonng woman, sup
ported by DR.. Evarts, claims that she is
lawful wife.
THE STORY OF A SwoRD.-In one OF
the great Dastles in Virginia during the
late war the 25th North Carolina regi-
ment cap ured a sword belonging 10
the late Gen. Hayes, Of the U, 5. army.
The sword was presented by the cap
tors 10 their colonel, z. B. Vance, now
Governor Of North Carolina, who has
since held it. A few days since Gov.
Vance received letter from Gen. Hayes's
widow in regard to the sword. He wrote
her announcing his intention to return
the swerd at once. In the let,e he took
occasion TO pay tribute to the gallantry
of the deceased officer.
The British Royal Society is gravely
investigating the changes of temperature
that occur i'll the human brain. Delicate
experiments with thermo-electric appa-
ratus performed on SIX persons who have
offered themselves for the purpose de-
monstrate, we are told that mental work
causes an increase of heat, even to at
tract persons attention raises the
temperature. To assist these investiga-
tions chart has been laid out of the
head. dividing it into sections, and it is
asserted that in a normal state different
parts of the head exhibit different de-
grees of heat.
There are forty millions Of people in
the United States. If each one econo-
mizes but ten dollars-saves that
amount in food or clothing, or travel OF
iuxury-Lhe sum of that economy is a
withdrawal of 100000, 600 from the
country, and. worse than that, subtrac-
tion of $400, 100000 from the necessity
of production. In other words, 1t is q
paralytic stroke. If this is done severa
tunes we have succession of paralytit
strokes, and this is probably the secret o
hard times.-PreSs
