The dispatches report that the brain OF
Gambetta weighed 1, 100 grammes or less
than 80 ounces. The maximum weight OF
the healthy brain in man is about "a
ounces, and the minimum about 81. The
brain of Guiteau weighed 493 ounces, that
of Daniel Webster about 81 ounces, and
that of Napoleon Bonaparte about the
same. The brain of mulatto who re-
Gently died at Cincinnati weighed 81
ounces, and that of Culver, the nationalist.
about the same. Gambetta had one of the
most active and fertile minds in France
and yet his brain. according to the report
fell in weight far below the average.

RxpIEw OF LAST WEEKS GRAIN TRADE

The Mark Lane Ezpress N its revsew of
Ahe British grain trade forsthe past week,
AVS: Early sown wheats continue to look
fairly~ and are well. though In some eases
the color will be affected by the long con-
tinued wet weather. Late sown wheats
are very unpromising and very unsatisfae-
tory. Sound native wheats fetch extreme
rates With a damp, sort neglected
country, -four is arriving In avery unsatis
factory condition, and is cheaper, while
choice sorts are firm. Foreign breadstuffs
are very quiet. with sales restricted. The
stock of wheat and -four is very large.
The pressure of foreign flour is becoming
an incubus on the milling trade. Maize
continues to Decline Barley, is very quiet.
Cargoes off the coast are rather steadier,
but rather in slight request There were
five fresh arrivals. and six sales; Eve with
drawn and Eve remain. All were Ameri-
can. About dozen caFgees are due this
week. The forwarding trade is firm with
a fair business in California and Oregon.
The sales of English wheat during the week
were %. 408 quarters at 4 shillings Z pence
per quarter. against 80, 402 quarters at A
shillings pence for the corresponding
period last year.

FREEZING TO DEATH.
PECULIAR SENSATIONS,

There is a general understanding that
freezing to death is an agreeable mode OF
quitting the world, and many persons who
have come near to making their exit in
that manner confirm the common belief.
James Humphrey, Canadian, who near
ly froze to death in recent storm while
driving homeward from Wallacetown to
Aldborough has given the following de-
scription of his experience to the St. Thorn
as Times: When he felt no longer able
TO hold the reins with any grip he deter
mined to seek shelter in the first house
until web warmed His tongue became
stiff, then his arms, sharp chills ran
through his back, and finally 1t seemed as
though his whole body was being con
gealed, causing an almost total cessation
of the hearts action This condition of
extreme suffering and dependency speed
i-y gave place to grateful warmth suffus-
ing the system and causing an exhilarat-
ing glow. By this time he had reached a
house, but he drove ON, thinking that
nothing was to be feared. The sleigh, in
stead of crawling along at snaiPs pace,
appeared to glide through the air with
great swiftness, and the horses fairly few
like pigeons. A sense of exultation filled
the farmers breast as he urged the horse
es TO a greater speed, and the woods on
each side were passing so quickly that
they became undistinquishable black lines.
Then the sleigh bells sounded fainter and
fainter. until the chimes disappeared in
the distance. the farmer fell gradually in
to a delicious slumber, which came near
being the sleep that knows no waking. and
he knew no more until brought to life
under q vigorous treatment.

THE WESTERN UNION OFFICES IN DE
TRorT DESTROYED.

DETROIT, Jan. S.-A fire In the Tele-
graph Block at I? O'Clock this evening be-
gan at the foot OF the elevator and almost
instantly spread to the two upper stories,
| which, with the roof, burned out. The
night force of operators found their escape
by the stairway cut of, but all were res
cued with fire escape ladders n s. Cor
bett, night chief operator. was severely
burned about the face. The large operat-
ing room of the telegraph office with the
boekkeepers' rooms, the battery room the
superintendent's Office was destroyed. The
misfortune temporarily obstructs the work
of the Western Union wires but the men
are at work to secure new quarters TO re
store communication. The loss cannot
now be stated.
As soon a. the alarm reached the opera
tors they rushed from the ladder and scut-
tie in the roof. but SO fierce were the flames
already rushing up. the elevator that only
one man succeeded in reaching the roof
and the light coat which he wore in the
office was all ablaze, aud his hands, arms
and face severely burned. The balance of
the operators, some twenty in number,
with great calmness returned to their room,
shut the doors, and awaited develop
ments While the steamers-rapidly got
to work, pouring food of water into the
building, the hook and ladder men set
to work to rescue the imprisoned opera
tors. Their efforts were greatly impeded
by the multitude OF wires crossing the
street in every direction. but with some diff
Guilty ladder was finally raised reaching
co the story next below the operating room,
and operators were exhorted to drop from
the window above and catch the ladder IS
best they could. This. however, they re-
fused to do and the fremen reduubled
their energy to put up large fire escape
ladder. This they fortunately succeeded
in doing, reaching the top story. The
operators were then all safely landed.
Their situation was becoming more critI-
cal every moment with the flames roaring
on the other side of the partition wall.
pouring through the roof and casting red
glare for blocks around. The descent of
the men was greeted with tremendous
cheers by the excited crowd filling the
street. The GOODNESS of the operators
under their trying situation was admirable.
The efforts of the firemen were then con-
cen.rated en- subduing the flames, and after
an hours battle this was accomplished
The upper two stories and the roof were
pretty much destroyed, and the lower
stories were flooded with water. The
damage is difficult TO estimate, but is not
heavy S20, 900 or $2o, QUO possibly. The
most serious Inconvenience is in the tenn
porary interruption of telegraph facilities,
but these win be speedy restored as the
wires on the poles are intact.

Fights in ST. Louis court rooms are
pretty regular efforts. One occurred Sat
urday in the United States Court, between
ex-United States Senator John B. Hender-
son and Colonel Don Morrison, an ex-con-
gresham: Morrison was called a blank
liar, and he banged Henderson over the
head with heavy cane. Henderson there
upon knocked Morrison down, and was
proceeding to punish him when an officer
interfered. The two afterward spologized
to each other, and went on with their case

Modest Lord woolslsy.
{ From the London Truth. }


The creed of Lord Woofsefey is q very
simple one Short-service men are better
than dong service men, The English
army in Egypt was composed of short
service men, and was the best armv the
world ever saw. Its men were the bravest
and best. disciplined, and its regimental
officers the best that pluck and science
ever produced. Next to our army the
Egyptian forces were the best In the
world. you scratch me and I'll scratch
you." His lordship modestly leaves it to
the men and the officers to respond by
saying. And it was commanded by a man
before whom the military genius of Wei
lington. Napoleon and Molitke pales. Z
Lord Woolseley complained last week
that his cam oaign in Egypt was not hon

The sanirreTs Wintar Habits.

In q delightful sketch in the Decen1-
Der Century of the Hard Fare the
birds and small animals have to put up
with when the winters are unusually Sc
we're. John Burroughs speaks as follows
of the cunning of the red squirrel:
81 have said the red squirrel does not
lay by q store of food for winter use,
like the chipmunk and wood-mice; yet
in the fall he sometimes boards in ten
tative, temporary kind of way. Ihave
seen his savings and black
walnuts-stuck here and there In sap
hngs and trees, near his nest; some
times carefully inserted in the upright
fork of a limb, or twig. One day. late
in November, / counted q dozen or
more black walnuts put away in this
manner in a little grove of loeusts. chest
nuts, and naples, by the roadside, and
could but smile at the wise fogethought
OF the rascaliy squirrel. His supplies
were probably safer that way than if
more deliberately hidden.e- They were
well distributed; his eggs were not all
in one basket, and he could go away
from nome without any fear that his
storehouse would be broken into in his
absence The next week when passed
that way the nuts were all gone but
two. 1 saw the Squirrel that doubt
ieSS Iald claim TO them on each occa-
sion.
There is one thing the red squirrel
knows unerringly that do not There
are probably several other things), that

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Senator Brown
addressed the senate until 2 o'clock, when
consideration of the presidential succession
| bill was resumed.
The bill TO relieve congress and the de-
partments of inventors claim came up.
Senator Sherman thought the question
ofspresadeh tiaf suecession very important
aud difficult o1A- The Simpofsant poini
| was to provide by a law. that in any con-
tingency which might arise. there should
DO some officer designated to discharge the
duties of the Office. Who that Officer
should be was question of less moment,
and he saw no constitutional objection to
sleagnate the president Of the senate or
speaker of the house to perform the duty
teulporarily, but grave doubts were enter
tanned whether these were "officers' with
in the meaning of the constitutional pro
vision authorizing congress who shall act
as pfesidel.t in the ease of the REMOVAL
death. Resignation or inability of the press
ident and vice-president, and there were
other objections to the law of 1892. all of
which would be avoided by the pending
bin. = SIS - a-
senator Ingalls, sthought the bill defec-
tive both in its provisions and its omis-
sions. Did any senator doubt that from
July 2, until Sept. 18th, 1881, President
Garfield was in the language constitution
unable to discharge the. powers and du-
ties" of the presidential office. The secrets
Of that chamber of 'agoay and death would
never disclosed The illustrious patient
was immurred in seclusion almost as voice
less as the grave, but no one who was
familiar with such facts as were permitted
to escape him doubted that the president
was during that period, as unable to dis
charge the duties of the Office as he was
after ne was laid in the grave The Tina

I'D. In fact exist, aud, therefore, BY the
constitution, the powers and duties Of the
office developed upon the vice presideaf
from that end day Of Jaly Why. then,
did he not exercise them2 The real reason
was that there was no tribunal authorized
tn ascertain and declare the fact of the i'm
ability. That question could not be leff
30 the vice president, and he could moi
assume 90 determine it, for evident reasons
So. for eight days. there was a suspension
OF the executive powers of this govern
ment as absolute as If President Garfield
had died on the 2nd Of July and his death
had been concea1ed until the 10th of Sep
TENDER. The pending bill was fatally
defective in not providing some methods
for ascertaining the fact Of presidential in
ability.
Without reaching vote the senate adj
iourned.
