Heart Beats.

DR.. n. B. Richardson, of London,
the noted physician, says he was re-
Gently able to coavey considerable
amount of conviction to an intelligent
scholar by simple experiment, The
scholar was singing the praises of the
'ruddy BUMPER and saying he could
not get through the day without it,
when DR.. Richardson said to him:
will you be good enough to feel my
pulse as | stand here?'
He did so. l said, Count it carefully;
what does it say:?'
'Your pulse says seventy-four.'
| then sat down in chair and ask
ed him to count it again. He did so,
and said, Your pulse has gone down
to seventy
l then lay down on the lounge, and
said:
will You take it again?'
He replied, why it is only sixty
four; what an extraordinary thing!
l then said, when you lie down at
night, that is the way nature gives your
heart rest. You know nothing about
it, but that beating organ is resting to
that extent; and if you reckon it up
it is great deal of rest, because 10
lying down the heart is dong ten
less minute. Multiply that by 60.
and it is 600; multiply it by 8 hours,
and within fraction it is 5000 strokes
different; and as the heart is throwing
ounces of blood at every stroke, it
makes difference of 10000 ounces of
lifting during the night.

any alcohol, that is the rest my hear
gets. But when Won take your wine

like $4,000 extra strokes, and the re-
salt is you rise up very seedy and un-

The settlers Triumpha mt.

The Northern Pacific Directors, Octo-
Der Is, 1879, when there were threaten
ings of the forfeiture of their land grant,
adopted and advertised over the entire
country the following:
''The following copy Of a resolution by
the board of directors of this company
states plainly the policy Of the company
in regard to the sales Of its lands west of
the Missouri river:
"Resolred, That the agricultural lands
of the company west of the Missouri
river to Puget Sound shall be offered for
sale to actual settlers at the Government
price of two dollars and half cash per
acre, with an addition Of ten cents per
acre to be paid to the company to reim-
burse it for the cost Of selecting, survey
ing and conveying said lands. This re-
solution does not apply to coal or iron
lands; nor to lands chiefly valuable for
timber; nor to lands required for town
sites; nor in regions where water is
scarce, to lands containing springs or
other natural supply, where it shall be
for the interest of settlers at large that
such water privileges shall not be ex-
clusively held or controlled by any in
dividuals: nor to land required for the
use of the company in connection with
the operation of the roau."
As the danger passed and the company
obtained possession oflarge areas of land,
it attempted to, and has in many inst
ances, ignored this isresolution, and charg-
ed actual bona fide settlers from S. to S25
DER acre for the lands on which they had
settled in good faith under the above re-
solution. In Montana this has not been
vigorously fought until Hon. W. A. Bur
leigh, of Miles City, recently inaugurated
vigorous contest, in the course of which
he submitted a strong argument to Con-
gress. The settlers in Washington Ter
ritory, aggravated to the extreme by the
policy of the company in that Territory,
inaugurated a general and formidable
contest, held mass meetings. presented
their claims to Congress, and revolted so
demonstratively that the company has
found it polite to yield, Paul Schulze,
the general land agent Of the company
at Portland, Oregon, has teIegraphed
throughout his jurisdiction as follows:
II am authorized by the land commits
sioner of the company to announce that
the company will sell to all actual set
tiers who have settled upon indemnity
lands prior to July l. 1881, the land upon
which they reside, not to exceed 100
acres each, at $3.50 FER acre cash, or 81
on lime. Due notice will be given as to
proof required"
It remains now to be seen whether
the same course will be pursued in Mon
tana, and whether restitution will be
made to those, if any, who were entitled
to the rates under the resolution and
were charged in excess. 1t was very
foolish resolution for the board to adopt
in the first place, as 1t gave the pick Of
its lands for a nominal sum; but having
adopted it and settlers having accepted
its terms, absolute justice requires it
should be carried out in good faith, and
the company just at present is not in q
position to insist on more than its rights.

A AsCoTCHMAN's STRANGE STORY
Deprived of Large Estate and Locked
Up in Lunatic AsvInn

Deprived of Large Estate and Locked
Up in a Lunatic Asylum
The circumstances narrated in an ap-
pllcation for a writ of habeas corpus filed
in the Circuit Court of Chicago, read like
another version Of Charles Reade's great
novel, every Hard Cash.'' John Faulds
is the name of the gentleman who seeks to
recover his liberty. He is a subject of
Great Britain. from Renfrewshire. Scot
land. In 1868 he came to the United
States, settled down in Catlin, Ill.,, and in
that region acquired valuable property.
the market value of which is variousiv
rated at from 100000 down to 100000.
He says that in 1871 his title to all this
property was questioned, and the owner
ship was contested in the United States
Court before District Judge Treat,
in Springfield, Ill. The suit was still un-
settled when, in November, 1882, Mr..
Faulds says he was wrongtully accused
of insanity, convicted. sent to the insane
asylum at kankakee, and confined there
till December, 1888, when he managed to
escape. He claims that this charge of in
sanity was brought against him for the
purpose of getting him out of the wayand
thus preventing him from prosecuting his
suit, which involves the possession of all
his property. How valuable this property
was is seen from the fact that from 200 to
300 tons of coal were daily taken out of
his mines and sold for So ton, his income
from that source being almost an princely
one. Since 1871, however, he says all
this has ceased, and he has not received
a cent from his property, owing to
the tendency of the suit. However. he
says that he has been in the en-
joyment of a regular annual income of
$500 sent in remittances from his home
ever since 1868. These he received up to
the time he was confined as a lunatic.
since which they also have stopped. The
last $500 he claims to have paid to his
lawyers for their services in prosecuting
his case. The remittances since 1882 he
suspects to have been retained by Super
intendent r. S. Dewey, of the Kankakee
Asylum. After his flight from the asvlum..
in December last, Mr.. Faulds came to
Chicago, where he has kept himself ever
since till captured Monday, and kept in
restraint for the purpose of being sent
back to the institution at Kankakee as a
crank. whereupon he makes this applica-
ton. A number of afidavits are at
tached to the document from prominent
people who knew him both here and in
Scotland, who say that he has been and
now is perfectly sane.

An Air Brake Patent Suit Involving

A special from Pittsburg, Pa, to the n.
Y. Sun, February 4, says: ''The prelim-
mary steps in one of the most important
suits that have been entered in the United
States Court for a long time were taken
this afternoon. The suit, which involves
millions, is that of William Loughridge. a
resident of Baltimore county, Maryland,
who filed bill in equity against the West
inghouse Air Brake Company to restrain
it from further infringement on patents of
which he claims to be the inventor and
patentee, and which in reality constitute
the whole stock in trade of the Westing-
house Company, as they embrace all pat
ents used in manufacturing air brakes
which have made the firm so wealthy and
so famous. The preliminary statement OF
the complainant is that he Loughridgel
invented the improved mode of operating
car brakes now used by the Westinghouse
Company before April u, 1864, and the
other inventions to which he lays claim
are as follows: An improved method of
applying steam to car brakes, patented
April 10, 1864; an improvement in steam
and air brakes, patented February II,
1873, and an improved pneumatic air
brake for railroad cars. issued to Charles
X. Peddle, and an improvement in pipe
coupling issued to Thomas Smith, both of
which last inventions the complainant al
leges were assigned to him. The bill in
equity is made returnabie on the first
Monday of March.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Detailed Report of the Proceedings in
Both Bodies.


WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The Chair laid
before the Senate to-day a communication
from the Secretary of the Interior, trans
mitting, in compliance with the resolu-
tion of the 18th ult., copy of the report
of the Commissioner of the General Land
Office relating to the grant of lands made
by the United States to Florida railroads.
1t was referred to the Committee on Pub
lie Lands.
Mr.. Frye reported the new shipping bill
agreed upon by the Committee on Com
merce. 1t is entitled GA bill to remove
certain burdens from the American mer-
chant marine and to encourage the for
eign carrying trade" Mr.. FRYE premis.
ing that he was obliged to leave Wash
ington for Mississippi shortly, said that
he would ask to make an explanation of
the bill in lieu of written report. He
explained briefly the provisions of the
bill, showing that 80 per cent. drawback
Of the duty allowed on articles imported to
form a part of the structure of ships
built in this country wholly of foreign
materials is by the present bill allowed
when any parts of the vessels are built
of foreign materials. He also explained
that the marine hospital fees are by the
provisions of the bill dispensed with, and
il i@made the duty of the United States
by all other civilized countries. On con-
cluding his remarks explanatory of the
bill, he SAID that he hoped that it would
receive careful consideration. 1t would
enable America to take a step in advance
of anything done for its shipping
interests within the last twenty yeare,
lie hoped that the burdens and barnaeles
placed on those important interests by our
own law would be removed, and that
something would be done to enable us to
recover our supremacy on the ocean.
Speaking for himself alone he said that
there was but one way on earth, in his
opinion, IN which to revive American
shipping, and that was to paw subsidies
in bounties, and SO far as he was con.
cerned he was in favor of subsidies and
bounties.

ARRESTED FOR FENIANIsM.

of the Canadians.

New York Assemblymen in the Clutches
of the Canadians.
ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. S.-A number of
AssemblYmen started yesterday for Mon
treal to attend the ice carnival now in
progress there. Among them was Assem-
blyman Donohue from Buffalo. A dis
patch was received by the Speaker from
Assemblyman Taylor, of Kings county,
who is also with the party, notifying him
that Mr.. Donohue had been arrested by
the Canadian authorities, but on what
charge 1t was not said. 1t is thought
here, from the fact of Mr.. Donohue's al
ways having been a Fenian leader, that
he was identified with the Fenian raids
into Canada in 1866, and that his arrest is
due to that fact. Assemblyman Donohue
was in the late war and was mustered
out at the close with the title of Captain.
NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE ARREST.
MONTREAL, Feb. 8, 10 z. M.-The local
police and detectives here are ignorant of
the arrest in Canada of Mr.. Donohue, a
member of the New York Legislature, and
say that it could not have occurred here.
