Variation i'm a Mans Hight.

A cont ibutor to the German Mill
tar Wochenblatt, who had lately been
employed in mastering and examining
the recruits drafted this year into the
German army, has established a long
series Of careful measurements, not
only that the hight of a nan varies
very considerably at various times Of
the day, but also that this variation
takes place with great regularity in
every individual man. The amount
of this variation in hight is, however,
not the same in all men, but depends
on the size and age Of each individual
a tall man losing more than a shorter
one. and a young man more than au
older one-assuming IN all cases the
men are fully grown.
In the samo mar the amount oil
variation in hight depends mainly
upon the number OF hours he has been
standing or sitting since rising from
his bed. While lying down the hight
Of a mar increases; while standing OF
sitting it decreases; and therefore
under normal conditions a man is
taller in the morning than in the
evening, while to some slight extent
extremely fatiguing exercise or work
causes additional decrease Of stature,
The greatest difference in hight in a
day hitherto observed in any mau ID
four centimeters, or q trihe more than
one and one-half inches.

the confirmation Of his sentence by
the court in banc. One Of these d.
vines was the cOlored Baptist from
Virginia who so successfully prayed
with the assassin several weeks ago.
The other was a long haired gospel
expounder from the far West, who
walked gravely into Guiteau's cell,
accompanied by a guard, and, in a
severe tone began "Mr. Guiteau, are
you prepared for futurity, and are
you"
Don't discuss that matter, sir"
returned Guiteau, sharply and quickly
Il know more about that question Of
futurity than you "a probably tell
me-"
"Oh, you do?"
YES, sir; therefore abandon it
while you are in here"
And the preacher abandoned the
subject and evacuated the cell forth

Day before yesterday a young lady o

Croker, and, supported by two ladies,

The scene was a striking one. There,
facing cath other, stood two human
beings, both Of them on the brink OF
eternity. one the victim of disease, the
other a condemned assassin. The
young lady opened the conversation
and, after conversing for awhile on
unseen things above" she turned 10

0O.0-The People Moving.


The spirit of the large Democratic
meetings of Knox, Henry and David
son counties is most refreshing in
these days of treason, stratagems and
spoils." These meetings have the
ring of the old-fashiOned popular
ground swells, when people without
brass collars or dictation were in the
habit of asserting the majesty of the
popular will. 1t is now evident from
the expressions of public opinion in
every part of the State, that the peo-
pie of Tennessee viii not submit to
the 6O-6. 1t is no longer a secret that
the proposition to settle at that figure
originated with certain radical and
railroad statesmen at Nashville. The
disguise was too thin, and the Trojan
donkey stood forth in its native ugli-
ness. The meetings referred to re-
fused to instruct their delegations as
to who should bear the standard OF
Democracy, but did instruct them
to harmonic the Democracy at all
hazards. And, while all are in favor
ola Just and honorable settlement Of
the debt, and opposed to all phases
of reputation, the whole matter
is referred to the wisdom
and conservatism of the con-
vention Of the 10th of June. This
is just as it should be. and we hope
the Democracy of Shelby will follow
this example. The first thing for the
convention to do is to bar the door
against all proxies. This policy Of
abolishing proxies seems to be popular
everywhere. Then every member Of
the convention is a representative
man, and neither a substitute o a
prostitute. The next thing is for
every member Of the convention to
agree to abide by the will Of the ma
When this is done half the
is won. The convention must
proclaim its platform on the debt
question. 1t must be an honorable
An ac%Quiescence in the
Butler bill will doubtless be
proposed. This will be rejected if
the convention shall be a representa-
tive one. 1t is confidently predicted
that concord will be finally attained
upon a platform which proposes to
settle the debt at about 1914 for the
first five years aud 5O-4A for twenty
Eve years thereafter. The interest to
be paid under this settlement would
be about $4,000 per annum for the
frst FIVE years, and about $675,0O0 per
for the balance of the thirty
years that the bonds are running to
maturity. The men who demand
more than this must remember that
such a settlement would be approx
nstely just, and hat if settled by a
Democratic convention it would
have the virtue of fnality.

The meeting at Exposition Build
ing yesterday mainly comprising the
Hamilton-Shaw wing of the Shelby
county Republicans, or rather the nom
Office holding wing, made the same
nominations that the G~resnbackers
did last Saturday. This coalition is a
strong one and will poll a heavy vote.
The nominations are as follows:
Michael iMcMahon, at present a
deputy under Sheriff thy, for Sheriff.
John J.. Shea, serving at this time
as a deputy under Mr.. Dryer, for
Clerk Of the County Court.
Mr.. Joseph Uhl, the present incum-
bent, for Circuit Court Clerk.
W. I. Kennedy, a former well-to do
citizen and a colOred man, for Grim
inal Court Clerk, the richest and best
paying Office in the county by odds,
the yield being variously estimated at
from six to ten thousand per annum.
I. B. Cronshaw, the present incum.
bent for Clerk of the Bartlett Court.
This official was reared near Bartlett,
has performed we'll since he has been
In office, and is. popular among the
people.
Green B. Evans, a od-looking
colored man, at present a river mail
agent, for County Register, a place
now held by Fred Hunt, colored, and
worth from two to four thousand per
annum, more or less.
DR.. H. B. Ramsey, a prominent physi
clan and farmer, residing in the coun-
try near Cuba, and cx-Speaker of the
Legislature, for County Trustee, an
Office worth FIVE orsix thousand a year,
more or less.
&. d. Stotesbury, a young lawyer,
for Attorney General Of the Bartlett
Circuit Court, a place worth perhaps a
couple of thousand, more or less, per
year. The value per annum OF the
Sherifs 6, County Clerks, and Circuit
Clerks places is unknown. The first
yields not less than $500, or more
than $4,000 per year, but it will likely
be a latter thing when Judge Henri
gan retires from Office, and those
wanting to be Sheriff are willing to 20
in, and wait. The two clerkships
mentioned r good paying places,
worth, say $4,000 a year, more or less,
not much less, perhaps.
1t will be seer that Mr.. Shaw and his
coadjutors, including Colonel Hamil-
ton, who is the choice of many for
Governor, have agreed TO support. for
Office five white and two colored men.
Our naturalized Irishmen have two
popular representatives in the list, the
Germans one, the yeomanry two, and
the legal fraternity one. Aside from
politics the majority of the candidates
are popular, and they would command
a large vote on any kind Of ticket.
The candidates to beat the foregoing
list will have to be carefully selected
and get up early every morning dur
