view of recent and current events q
man could hardly expect political
preferment in the republican party
whose ideas and public utterances on
the Mormon question were so fair
and manly as these of Mr.. Sargent
have been. In guessing for the gen
ltlemsn's motive, We hope we do him
no Injustice. The HERALD likes ex-
Senator Sargent. 1t has observed his
course closely and sdmiringly, and
found much in the man to approve,
and little to condemn. This paper
was among the frstif rot the frat TO
suggest his name for place in Mr..
Garfeld's cabinet. We would like to
see him at the head of one of the
federal departments, and believe be
would make faithful, capable and
minister, whose official
course would excite the praise OF the
public generally. At the same time
we cannot help thinking the gentle
man has made a serious mistake in
his late correspondence to our msrn,
ing contemporary. l. was blunder,
and if Mr.. Sargent will reflect mo-
ment, his mind being free from am
bition, he must so consider it. Dem
agogism will not win in this instance.
The gentleman was right before, and
there was no cause to dodge around q
fair and honest record for the sake Of
getting into what be may have erred
in assuming was to be popular trail.
Nevertheless, We hops President Gar
field will see the wisdom of taking
Mr.. Sargent into his cabinet, though
the latter deserves to be left for his
trucking.

How it was Fixed.

A stranger, bearing that seedy, rusty
outline which fastens to q man who
lives on free lunches and sleeps under
s~tairways, walked boldly into a Wood
ward avenue store the other day and
asked for the proprietor. After some
remarks about the weather, politics, etc.

secure a loan of $40 from you until

"Ahl beg a thousand pardons. Please

"Are you in business there
"Not just now. / am at present

He was informed after a little fur
ther discussion that he must apply else

turned in half an hour and said
pardon my intrusion. AS you dc
not feel like lending me any money,
perhaps you wouldn't object to giving
me a line stating that you would stand
security for my board for a week"
The merchant gave him to understand
that he did object, and the stranger re-
tires in good order. Directly after din
ner he came again and seemed in better
spirits.
Everything is all fixed to our mu
tual satisfaction" he explained. "They
saw me come here from the hotel, ano
have discovered from the resemblance
between us that we are brothers. AL

and I'll be all right"
The merchant looked at him without
power to speak for a moment, and il
this interval the stranger said
"You might do one little turn for me

Wrecked"

Few men can hear Of the loss Of a
gallant ship without a touch of sadness.
Life has been compared to the great
ocean, and men to the ships which sail
thereon. When a bark which has braved
the TEMPEST Of strange seas comes home
with rusted hull and tattered sail, men
welcome her back just as they do n of
their own kind who has passed through
peril to benefit his race. 1t is when we
come upon the wreck of a once noble
ship that men try hardest to remember
how well she served her builders. 1t is
when we hear that some gallant bark is
missing, leaving no sign nor trace, that
men are awed as they speak her name.
There is nothing that will touch and
soften the heart like the sight of the
wrecks which drift here and there on
life's ocean-once grand and gifted men
n blown hither and thither, now
going with currents, now hidden from
sight by the mantle of night or the mys-
FERROUS fog. He who visits an asylum
for the insane will gaze out upon an
ocean which is ever changing its surface
and its shores. One moment the waters
will be calm and p~eaceful-the next
there will be the roll of a storm and the
growl OF breakers. Before him will drift
wrecks without number-some moving
slowly out of the fog-somc drifting in
to lt-some sklrting the shores on which
stand fearful friends to wave farewells
Others being carried by unseen cur
rents affair to sea. 1t is an ocean with
out a harbor of refuge. Once a wreck
upon it's bosom and there is no landing.
Day and night, for weeks, months and
wears, the dismasted and dismantled
hulks weave N and out of the fog-in
and out of the sunlight--whirl slowly
about in the eddies-catch on the shoals
and 90 driving further out upon the
troubled waters. Storm and rust and
time are silently at work, and one by
one as the years creep on, old wrecks
sink silently into the sea and are heard
of no more forever.
When men die we forget they were
like those who still live on. We forget
all that was bad in them and remember
all that was good. We know that they
are dead, and the busy world closes up
the gap and marches along. But when
men sail out upon life's ocean to become
wrecks--to be dead in all but name
to drift in the darkness without chart cr
beacon-tc feel the shores going further
and further away from item, there is
something 50 pitiful that ewes FIJI with
tears and hearts grow tender. They are
not dead, yet their faces are never seen
on the streets. They have no tomb
stones, yet men read their epitaphs and
forget them. In a battered hulk drifts
a skeleton cre%w--drifting, driving, swirl
ING, plnnging, and there is no help. The
end is a darker night, a stronger gale
and a cry Of despair as the waters close
over all and roll on as before.

KING and Conjurer.

Signor Bellachini, the renowned pres
tidigitator, who has recently been hon
ored by the German Emperor with the
complimentary title of "Royal Court
Artist" obtained this unprecedented
distinction by a somewhat remarkable
feat of dexterity. Having observed that
the venerable monarch for some Years
past frequently attended his perform
ances and exhibited a lively interest in
the magical arts of which he is a Past
| Master, Bellachini conceived the bold
project Of turning imperial favor to ac-
count, and made formal application to
His Majesty for an audience. His pc
tition was granted, and the Emperor re-
ceived him at an appointed hour in the
study overlooking the Linden avenue,
his favorite room, in which he transacts
business every morning and afternoon.
After chatting for a few minutes with
the accomplished cor juror upon subjects
connected with his profession, Wilton
/. asked, with a smile, "Well, Bellachi-
| nj, and what Is it you want of met at
is my most humble request, Sire, that
Your Majesty would deign to appoint
me your Court Artist" II will DO SO,
Bellachini, but on one consideration on
ly-namely, That you forthwith peform
some extraordinary clever trick. worthy
of the favor you solicit" Without a
moments hesitation Bellachini took up
a pen from the Emperor's inkstand,
handed it with a sheet of paper to His
Majesty, and requested him to write the
words, "Bellachini can do nothing at
ALL" The Emperor attempted to com
ply, but, strange to say, neither pen nor
ink could be pursuaded to fulfill their
functions. "Now, Sire, said Bellachini,
"Will your Majesty condescend to write
the cords 'Bellachini is the Emperor's
Court Artist ~" The second attempt
was as successful as the first had been
the contrary; pen, INK and paper, de-
livered from the spell cast over them by,
the magician, proved perfectly docile to
the imperial hand, and Belladhini's in
genious trick was rewarded on the spot
by his nomination to the desired honor

Giants in these Days.

Two Of the most remarkable men of
the century gave a reception at the
Royal Aquarium; and were visited by
many persons interested in anthropolo-
gy. The giant Chang, a tea merchant
OF Pekin; and Brustad, Il tall Norwe-
gian, received their friends, and being
not much give to talk themselves, had
their history related for them by a show
man.
1t appears that Chang is the largest
giant in existence, that he stands S feet
2 inches, and is'highly educated, speak
ing five different languages, including
English, which last he speaks very well,
but with the well-known slng.song OF
the Chinaman. He is s feet high with
out his boots he measurs 60 inches
around the chest, weighs 26 stone, has a
span Of S feet with his outstretched
arms, and signs his name without an ef-
fort upon a sign-post 10 feet 6 inches
high. These figures and others as scien-
~tifcally important proportions are to be
verified by a committee Of the Anthrop.
illogical Society, who took the measure
ment of the Zulus a little while ago,
conducting those savages one by one
into Mr.. Darlington, the naturalist's
room, and giving an average of an hour
and a quarter to ascertaining the dlmen-
sions of each individual. Chang is SO
years Of age, and it is about Is years
since he was in England. After five
years residence in the Celestial Empire
he returned to Eurore for the Paris Ex-
hibition, and has since visited Vienna
(where the Emperor gave him a ring he
proudly exhibits, marked with the In
perial eagles and the initials OF Francis
Joseph, Berlin and Hamburg. Since
his last residence in this country Chang
has grown several inches-six, it Is said;
he has a benevolent Monaghan face, a
courtly manner, and wears a richly en-
broidered dress, worked for him by his
sister, who is, like the rest of the fam
lily, of only ordinary stature.
Next to Chang, and next by no long
interval, stands Brustad. about : feet 8
inches high, very muscular, very broad
backed, having as great a girth of chest
as Chang, and a wider span in rropor-
ton to his height. He has a low fore
head, but speaks English fairly well.
Brustad has also q ring which he greatly
delights in exhibiting, He presented it
to himself out OF the profits, it is sup
posed, gained by being shown. 1t is a
ounces in weight, and 5 penny goes
easily through it. To grasp his mighty
hand in greeting is like Shaking hands
with "a oak tree. His weight is IS
stone, greater than Chang's, for his bones
are more massive. His age is 81

The Cause Of Tanners Torture

The short, crisp and unsatisfactory
bulletins that reach us concerning DR..
Tanners torture give the public no IN
formation that would enable them to
understand the test or why it was ever
undertaken. For that reason we give
below what one Of the editors of the
Chicago Advance says
DR.. Tanner went to New York to
accept the challenge of Surgeon General
Hammond, who offered a reward of
$1,000 to any one who would fast for
thirty days. Tanner proposed to 60 the
thirty, and ten over for good measure.
Hammond backed squarely down. |
have seen the proof of this in writing.
AS the irregular" physicians, under the
lead of DR.. Hammond, refused to enter
into the arrangement, DR.. Tanner, who
is an eclectic, turned to his brethren of
that school under Dr. Gum. When it
became evident that Tanner had tasted
absolutely for over eight days, and was
in apparent good health, contrary to all
the predictions of the old school, then
these gentlemen consented to send
watchers. A certain DIR. Bradley, who
was among this number, created a sensa
ton by declaring that he saw of the eclec
tics slip something to Tanner about one
o'clock in the morning. Both DR.. T.
and his watcher denied this, and a scene
followed. DR.. Tanner proposed tc settle
the doubt they should give him an
emetic at once. This offer was not &C
copied by the opposition. DR.. Bradley
declared that the food was given In q
sponge; that it was beef tea and that
there were eight ounces of it. The
sponge was at once examined bv report
ers and many others, and nothing but
water was in it. This the doctor is al
lowed at all times, though he only
moistens his lips, or at most washes out
his mouth, swallowing nothing. Then
it turns out that the sponge only holds
four ounces of water, and DR.. Bradley
~retires in disgrace. 1t further appears
that this DR.. Bradley knows as much
about whisky as anything else, and
comes to the hall drunk.
Then the other regular physicians in
attendance unite with the electric i'll af-
tirming that DR.. Tanner has not touched
food Of any kind for thirteen days.
Many declared that he would become &c
lirious in ten days, but such is not the
case. | have visited him quite often,
and lie Is il good spirits, clear-headed,
and atlirms that since the ninth day be
has not suffered the cravings of hunger.
lie is evidently a sincere man, and be-
lieves that he can benefit all mankind by
proving that abstinence from food is IA
lures greatest remedy for most diseases.
He may be dead when this reaches
you, but it is assuredly a most remark
able case. SO great has been the crowd
of curious persons that an admission fee
of twenty-five cents is charged. This
has brought a better class OF people,
who, in silence, sit for hours wat, hing
the movements of the "starving man."
as they call him, and thu company of
medical men who attend him. 1t is GER
tainly a curious spectacle, and many
eminent physicians pronounce it the
great event of the century in physiology.
Tanner aiiirms that he once tasted forty
two days, but he found few 10 believe
him. Now he proposes to demonstrate
his assertion.

The Divers.

Before a man becomes an expert
diver he must undergo Il certain amount
Of severe physical training. The at
mospheric pressure on the surface is Is
pounds to every square inch OF the
body, and on the average man Is some
thing like Is tons, but the outside and
inside pressure being equal, this i'm
mense weight is unnoticed. At every
"a feet of the descent under water this
pressure Is increased one atmosphere, or
the additional pressure of Is pounds to
the square inch, and it is absolutely nee
essary to have the air pressure III the
armor fully equal to that of the water,
some idea can be had of what the diver
must withstand, and even at the moaer-
ate depth Of Al feet, although the inhal-
ing of this compressed air in a inca sure
relieves the unpleasant sensatian.
When the distance is increased to a
hurdrel or a hundred and fifty feet, the
sensation becomes almost uncomfortable
the blood starts from the Eyes, ears,
mouth, and even from the pores Of the
skin, and on returning to the surface ex-
IRENE exhaustion is the result. Some
men are so constituted physically that
they canno remain under water at all.
The greatest depth that is ever attained
is one hundred and fifty feet, and then
the most experienced diver can remain
at this point but five or six minutes
without serious injury. Divers go to
this depth only to secure articles of Steat
value, remaining long enough to attach
a chain o. rope. At a hundred feet an
old diver cal remain about an hour, and
at fifty feet from two to six hours, &C.
cording to the strength Of the diver.
