The Suns Heat.

In recent contribution a writer
states that the present annual yield of
all the coal mines of the earth would
suffice to keep up the fire of the sun, at
its present intensity Of light and heat,
FOR but the forty-millionth part of a
second, and that, if the entire earth
were made of coal, it would serve as a
fuel supply for feeding the solar fires
about thirty-siX hours. On the other
hand, it has been. calculated that, even.
with no specific provision for restoring
the waste radiations of the sun, the
mass Is so vast and the heat so enor-
nous that it could go on cooling by
free radiation into space for what,
taken in reference to the usual method
of counting the lapse of time, would
be very long period before any actual
change of temperature could be per-
ceived.
Scientists regard it as tolerably sure
! that during the last three thousand
S'6r' four thousand years there has not
been any appreciable diminution in
the heat communicated by the sun
the. earth. 1t is true that there
have not been any reliable records by
thermometric instruments for more
than very small portion of that time
are, nevertheless, records as
signilicant-namely, those furnished
by the distribution Of vegetable life.
Thus, plants that required the sustained
warmth of genial and approximately
tropical climate and the same liberal
allowance of solar influence that is now
communicated to the earth were quite
as widely distributed upon the terres-
trial surface and quite as vigorously
maintained ages ago rs they are now,
the -clfmate of Egypt being also then.
as now. habitable by man.

Dorsey as a Dynamiter.

Dorsey's threats to expose the Repub-
ican campaign and Republican cam
paign methods of 1880 are very distinct,
if not very definite. His connection
with the Star-Route frauds proves that
he is as desperate as he is Inscriptions.
His temper during the trial was ugly,
and he betrayed vindictive as well
as ruffianly disposition in knocking
down and kicking the PROSTATE body
of weak old man who had produced
testimony adverse to him. A man ca
pable of thus prejudicing his case in
people, and man capable of resorting
to legal tactics and devices necessary to
clear guilty man, but not to acquit an
innocent one, is not a man to hesitate
in his revenge, nor to be nice about his
methods. If, as he says, he has docu-
ments in hand duplicating some of the
most distinguished members of the
Republican party, it will be very deli
cate and difficult piece of business to
restrain him from making use of them.
Had he been convicted, he might have
bought pardon by promise of silence.
But having been acquitted, he has no
favors to ask and probably is in no
conciliatory mood. An intimate ac-
quaintance of Dorsey's says he has sew
eral letters from Logan which will
make interesting reading on the eve
of the National Convention, and his
feeling toward Logan is already shown
in that savage outburst against a certain
member of the National Republican
Committee, who, he said, made brutal
assault upon him, and whom he de-
nounces as an ambitious hypocrite. ="
That ambitious hypocrite" is Senator
Logan, and Dorsey's dynamite is ready
for him the moment he chooses to pro-
woke the great Star-route desperate into
putting a match to it.
'.But Dorsey has other crows to
pick" says this intimate friend. '.He
can show the weak spots of many emil
nent Republicans. If he were to tell
all he knows even President Arthur
would squirm in the Executive chair.
Dorsey, however, may not use all his
powers of retaliation. He has had
provocation enough to bring all his
bones. He is not vindictive, but there
may be circumstances which will com.
pei him to act for the sake of further
vindication of his character. tell you

Sweeping the Country.

The Globe-Denocrat assumes to make
light of the Democratic confidence re-
specting the result of the next Presi-
Dental election, because the Democracy
always talk of sweeping the country be-
fore an election. 1t forgets, or more
likely wants its readers to forget, that
the Democrats have done considerable
in the way of sweeping the country in
the past ten years. 1t was good deal
of a sweep when the Democracy elected
majority of the Forty-fourth Congress
in 1874, it was an unmistakable sweep
when they elected Tilden in 1876, as
this Republican contemporary has more
than once admitted; it was something
of a sweep in 1873 when the Democracy
again elected a majority to the Forty
sixth Congress, and it is needless to re-
call what an overwhelming sweep carri-
ed majority of Democrats into the
Forty-eighth Congress last fall. Take
the last five general elections, and
four out of the five proved Demo-
cratic sweep in their bearing on Ma
tional affairs. But once in ten years
have the Republican party carried the
country in a National election, and it is
well to remember that this one single
time, the election of Garfield in 1880,
their victory was by so small an ad-
vantage that a change of twenty thou
sand votes would have put Hancock in
the White House. Of course the De-
mocracy always talk of sweeping the
country, for that is just what they have
been doing almost all the time for ten
years past. That fraud and corruption
have Kept the executive power in the
hands of the Republicans is but a testi-
monial TO the peaceful and patriotic
methods of the Democracy, which will
advance to power at no risk to the pros
perlty or material welfare of the coun-
try. The Republican party have elected
but one President in ten years and not
a single Congress. They ought to know
by this time that Democratic sweeps are
great deal more than talk.-St. Los+es

A Suicide Club.

A very extraordinary story is re-
ported from Pesth. Six youths, sons
for the most part of respectable shop
keepers. recently formed kind of
club, and arranged among themselves
to put their spare money into a general
fund and to spend it from time to time
in social enjoyment together. Ere many
weeks elapsed, however, not only the
spare cash, but also every kreutzer
these young fellows possessed in the
world, vanished in mild dissipation;
and the members of the club strangely
determined that, as they were utterly
penniless, they would all commit sui
eide. With this object in view they ad-
journed to wood not far from the city,
taking with them a six-chambered re-
volver, which was to be the common
instrument of death. A boy of seven
teen was the first to put the decision
into practice. He deliberately fired one
ball into his neck and second into his
breast, and then fell. Thereupon four
of the survivors lost heart and fled; but
the fifth, not deferred by the sight of the
bleeding body of his friend, picked up
the pistol and discharged it in thedirec-
ton of his heart. One of the foolish
youngsters was fatally wounded; but
the ether, it is expected, will recover,
and, it may be hoped, will join no more
suicide clubs.-tSt. James Gazette.

Confederate Bonds.

Another attempt is being made to get
up boom in Confederate bonds. For
some time past Baltimore stock brokers
have been advertising for Confederate
State bonds. The movement in these
bonds started some three years ago.
and since that time the purchases have
been very large, one firm alone hand
ling about $50, 100000 of them. Balti-
more has been the headquarters for
their purchase and Europe the destina.
ton of the bonds. orders coming from a
large London firm. When the excite
ment first began the bonds, which
were considered worthless, brought ST.
per $1,000. The price subsequently, adj
vanced and has gone up as high as $15
per 81 200, though now they are from
Sc to So per $1,000 for 6, and 8 per
cent. bonds. The bonds are somewhat
scarce now, though some days 100000
will change hands and other days not
800. The dealings are altogether in
coupon bonds with the 1865, OF prior
coupons on. One Baltimore dealer who
makes the Confederate bonds a speciality
has offers from the South of bonds in
lots ranging from 100000 to $500,O00.
Richmond brokers and others in the
South are purchasing them and sending
them to the London house, the head of
which is said to be party by the name
of Moses. North Carolina war bonds
are also being bought for 81 on the
$1,000.
Since the furry began there has been
great rummaging about old closets,
chests, boxes, ETC., for the pieces of
paper that contained the promises to
pay of the Confederate States of Amer
lea. Some bring them into brokers'
offices already framed, having been pre-
served as curiosities; others bring them
stiff with paste, having taken them from
the screens which they have long deco
rated, and it is even said the bonds have
at times been used for wallpaper by
fantastically inclined people. 1t is safe
to say the walls have needed new paper
ing since Confederate bonds began to
have marked value. What they are
being bought for is what no fellow can
find out. Some have advanced the
theory that the purchasers entertain a
forlorn hope of their being paid some
day; but another, and perhaps equally
as rational a theory, has been put for
ward. During the late war England
did buy some Confederate securities,
and at the close of the war found them
worthless. 1t has been suggested that
the holders still entertain an idea of get
ting something back. The present pur-
chasers, it is said, believe the same way.
The summing up of the theory is that
the English holders look for some COM
plications to arise between the two coun-
tries, and hope that in its adjustment
England will be in a position to insist
on the United States indemnifying the
English holders of Confederate bonds

IT is the belief in Washington that the

a Justice respecting the meaning of the
statut., which declares that all saloons
hall be closed on Sunday, and that
'the word .closed' shall be construed to
apply to the back door as we'll as to the
front door," The Justice ruled that If
the door was closed, even if unlocked,
then the letter and spirit of the statute
were unbroken. Thus, if an officer were
forced to turn the knob and use little
exertion in opening the door, the dealer
was on the safe side of the law.
