James BUcftCC IG,tIG'S 11oce.
Paris Cor. Phila. Talerranh.


81 heard lately a curious and perfectly
authentic anecdote respecting President
Buchanan. 1t is not generally known, l
believe, that the White house came near
having at one time an English and a titled
mistress in the person of that gen+lema,.' IS
wife. While Mr.. Buchanan was minister
to the court of st. james he made the ac-
quaintance of a widowed lady of very high
rank. A sincere and fervent attachment
sprang up between the pair, and only the
opposition of the lady's aristocratic rela-
tives prevented their union. So their 1nu-
tual attachment resulted in nothing more
than profound and lifelong friendship.
A constant correspondence was maintained
between them until the day of Buchanan's
death. The lady long survived her Ameri-
can friend, her death having taken place
only few years ago. She was always
noted for her kindly feeling towards Amer
leans and for her prediction for Ameri-
can society. In a room apart, she kept a
number of souvenirs of her friend, includ-
ing fine portrait, and also some of his
gifts to her, which were mainly of literary
and national character, such as works by
american authors, the photographs and
autographs of American celebrities, etc."

that told in the House of Lords on the
evening of Monday last, when it was said
that priest illustrated his views on the
decision of the sub-commissioners under
the Land Act by preaching a sermon from
the text, "And the rent is made worse.
Almost exactly century ago the borough
of Bedford was disturbed by hotly con-
tested election. The popular party was
represented by the philanthropist, John
Howard, of Cardingon, and his relative,
Mr.. Whitbread. On the other hand, the
corporation was suspected of having sold
the representation to a couple of strangers
Sir William Wake, BART, and Mr.. Robert
Sparrow. The feeling against these pur-
chasers of the electors honor was so high
that on Sunday when the election fever

RUBBING rs Il DOMESTTC REMEDY.

Rubbing, as domestic remedy,
ranks in antiquity with the mustard
paste and water Cruel. Modern medi-
cal science has wiGened its application
in the treatment of disease with graft
flying results. Nervousness that the
bromides failed to tranquillize, dyspep-
sias that have defed pepsin, and rheu-
MATES, stiffening the joints like rusty
hinges, have surrendered to intelligent.
persistent manipulation.
It is common notion that friction
toward the extremeties rubs off the dis
ease. The fact is, this faulty proceed
ure retards the flow of blood, favors the
retention of impurities, and, in diseases
of the heart, does positive injury BY
crowding back on the enfeebled arteries
volume of fluid that strains the weak
ened heart-wall In short, the disease
may be rubbed In.
Downward stroking, with upward
friction, combines soothing with a
stimulating effect, but something be-
side the crude strength is needed to Sc
cure these results. One can have a
genius for rubbing as for writing. The
touch magnetic is essential, or, what
amounts to the same thing, a hand
neither pudgy with fat nor lacking in
warmth; and, withal, realizing sense
that the same degree of friction, pleas

MINNEAPOLIS FIRE BUGS.
They are Still Pursuing Their Dangerous
Work.

Work.
The villainous incendiaries seemed deter
mined to destroy goodly portion of our
city last night. At about $50 they set fire
to thefeed mill run by r. P. Upton in the
long row of manufactures on Nicollet Is
land owned by the Island Water Power Co.
Before it was extinguished by the
department, the interior of the mill was
pretty badly scorched and the flames had
also gone through j. R. Clark's box factory
next door. The loss on the building own
ed by w. W. Eastman of the Power COM
pany will probably not exceed $1,000
and is fully covered by insurance
placed in companies represented by Judge
E. B. Ames. R. p. Lapton lost $1,000 on
machinery and 800 on feed and corn,
making total of $4,000. He held q 81 900
policy in the Pennsylvania Fire Insurance
company and $500 in the State Fire Insur-
ance company, of Iowa.
The capacity of the feed mill was about
three car loads per day, and it will at once
be rebuilt. j. R. Clark, the proprietor of
the box factory, lost about $1,000 on ma
chinery and $500 on lumber, and was pref
ty we'll insured. He will also reft ND the
shop at once.
The fire department was called from
this fire to No. 112 North Third street,
where little blaze had been started in an
old wooden building in the rear of a tin
shop by the devilisn fire bugs, but was ex
tinguished without much loss.
At 80 another fire was discovered in
the Seventh Street hotel on the corner of
Third avenue southeast and Seventh
street and was completely destroyed, none
of the furniture, clothing nor stock beng
saved. The building was owned by Clapp
Brothers, and was worth $4,000, insured
for $1,000. Henry Smith was the occu-
pant, and estimates his loss at $1,4OO,
upon which he had an $500 policy issued
on Monday.
The excitement is running high and a
special meeting of the city council Is
talked of for the purpose of authorizing
citizens patrol to protect property
against the ravages of the fire bugs.

As with each stroke the heact projects
something like six ounces # blood INTO the
conduits of the system, and. as It does so
some seventy times every minute and 1920
times in an hour, this implie5 tlat it does
so l00,S00 times in twenty-four hours, 30.
100000 times IN a year. and more than q
50O,O00,000 times in life of seventy years.
The mechanical force that is exerted at
each stroke amounts to pressure or thir-
teen pounds upon the entire charge of
blood that has TO be to be pressed onward
through the branching network of vessels
According to the lowest estimate that has
been made, this gives an exertiou of force
that would be adequate in another form
of application, to lift 120 tons one foot
high every twenty-four hours.
Yet the piece of living mechanism that
is called upon to do this, and do it without
