ACCORDING to the Oil City Derrick the
London Times, having read the editorials in
the New York World and New York Trb-
une, says: "The two great parties of Amer
lea have made very poor nominations this
year. Mr., Hanfeld, the Reprocat nominee,
served ten years in the penitentary for
attempting to kidnap Mr.. Oakes Amess
daughter, Miss Credit Mobilier Ames !;
while Mr. Garcock, the Demublican nomi-
nee, was sentenced to be hanged for MUIR
dering woman, and was reprieved while
on his way to the gallows. He has been out
of prison only four days"

Boston Transcript: "Justice Swayne's
opinion condemning Garfeld's fee of $4,000
from the De Golyer Pavement Company as q
''sale of official influence" which no de-
fence could veil, is now declared to be
myth, or at most a garbled and manufac-
tured version of some opinion of his. If
this be exposed, it is one of the most villain
Gus campaign lies ever invented. The use
the Democratic press have been making of
the resolutionsof an alleged Republican con-
vention, denouncing General Garfield, which
convention has been shown to have consisted
of bakers dozen of "soreheads'' in his dis
trict, illustrates the diabolical distortion Of
truth of which party press is capable"
Since the Transcript spoke Justice Swayne
has spoken, and says he never delivered the
opinion attributed to him. So, in the Ian
guage of the Transcript, the story sis one
of the most villainous campaign lies ever in (,

papers please make correction. The World.
which first gave the story currency, will of
course acknowledge it's error 1t is too
honorable newspaper to persist in circula-

peating an exploded falsehood.

THE HEART AS A MACHINE.

The heart is probably the most eff
Gent piece of physical apparatus known,
From a purely mechanical point of view
it is something like eight times as eff
cient as the best steam engine, 1t may
be described, mechanically, as little more
than a double force-pump, furnished
with two reservoirs and two pipes of out
flow; and the main problem of its action
is hydrodynamical. The left ventriCle
has a capacity of about three ounces; it
beats rs times a minute, and the work
done in overcoming the resistance of the
circulating system is equivalent to lifting
its charge of blood a little short of ten
feet (9.923)' The average weight of the
heart is a little under ten ounces 70 39)
The daily work of the left ventriCle ia,
in round numbers, ninety foot-tons; ad.
ding the work Of the right ventricle, the
work of the entire organ is nearly one
hundred and twenty-five foot-tons. The
hourly work Of the heart is accordingly
equivalent to lifting itself twenty thous.
and pounds an hour.
An active mountain climber can aver.
age 1000 feet of ascent an hour, or one.
twentieth the work of the heart. The
prize Alps engine, Bavaria" lifted its
own weight 2,700 feet an hour, thus
demonstrating only one.eighth the eff.
cheney of the heart. -Four elements have
to be considered in estimating the power
of the heart. ~ The statical pressure
of the blood column equal to the ami
mails height, which has to be sustained.
q the force consumed in overcoming
the inertia of the blood veins; (3.) the
resistance offered by the capillary yes
sells; IT, the friction in the heart itself
This, in a state of health, is kept at its
by the lubriCate Serious mem.
brane of the pericardium Scientific

A Patent Alarm Bed.

Mr.. WAsHTUB is the name of the
gentleman who won't stop at an up
country hotel again. 1t seems that the
clerk had to get up very early in the
morning. and finding difficulty in wax
ing, built a patent alarm bed in ac-
cordance with plans given him by MIR.
Edison, who once stopped at his house.
The bed had a powerful clock-work at
tachment, and at a set hour it would
arouse any man who wasn't dead. The
day after they got the thing set up in
the house there was a great rush of
guests, and the clerk in order to ac-
commodate Mr.. WaShtub gave up his
bed to him. He also forgot to shut off
the alarm, and the result was that
about four O'Clock in the morning Wash
tub was aroused by a most terrible
racket. He open his eyes and sat up
in bed, and then he heard a voice,
which came from a phonograph attach
ment to the bed. exclaim: You old
mucker, pile outr' If he had under
stood the thing he would have hop
ped out of bed and shut off the alarm.
But he didn't and thought it was
burglars. So he lay down again and
pulled the covers over his head, and
he bed began to shake violently, and
he thought it was an earthquake, and
was terribly scared. The bed shook 20
that he had to cling to the mattress to
keep in. and finally the bed seemed to
rise up right under him, and he wa
hurled violently to the floor. He tried
to rise, and just then the mattress came
off upon him with great force and floor
ed him again. He had a terrible time
getting out from under them. and just
as he did so, and gave a wild yell for
help, q shower of ice water came upon
him, and then the Stats of the bed
began to whack at him, and as
he could see but little in the dim
light of the room, he thought he
must have gone to sleep in a threshing
machine, and some one had started it.
His yells finally brought the landlord.
who stopped the machine, and tried to
calm the terrified guest by explaining
the thing to him. But the explanation
only made matters worse, for the victim
lost two trains stopping over to lay for
the clerk. who had found out what he
had done, and kept out of the way

"A case which has recently been de-
cided by the Tribunal Of the Seine is
worthy the attention of anybody about
TO enter into the bonds Of holy ma,rimo-
ny with Frenchman or French woman.
The French law takes no cognizance Of
a marriage entered into by q French
man or French woman in foreign coun-
tries unless it is contracted according to
French rules. As the latter are very in
~tricate, and as it is perhaps o. much to
ask an eager bridegroom or n
blushing bride 10 study the Code Napo-
leon, the only safe method is TO be mar
ried at the French Consulate. In the
case alluded To the husband and wife
had been married in London four years
before, and several children were born
of the union. The marriage was con
tracted in entire accordance with the
laws of England, but the French tribunal
held it to be null and void. The mar
riage law of France is the direct out
come of the horror Of a mesdiiiance
which was SO strong under the old re-
gime, and the new order Of things ought
to bring a more cosmopolitan view into
favor.

"A clergyman gave a st. Louis con-
gregation, the other Sunday, a thrilling
account of his terrible experience Is an
opium-eater, telling how from lsi7 To
1860 he practiced medicine in the Mis-
sissirpi Valley. and having TO ride night
and day for At least four months of the
year, exposed to malaria, commenced
to take q~uinine in from five to ten grain
doses. He then added morphine to the
q~uinine, and after a time began to drink
whisky. In 1865 he fully c~onsecrated
himself to the ministry, and in 1867 was
appointed pastor Of the First Methodist
Church of ST. Louis. There he remained
until he was sent TO Lexington, Mo. In
the latter part of lS1otrouble came upon
him, and he began to use opium and
whisky to excess One grain of opium
was found insufficient, and be increased
the dose until he found himself taking
twenty-five grains. His description of
his sufferings during this period filled
his audience with the deepest sympathy.
