2o2 400 VI les in Blood.

From The New York Mail and Express
The mat cmatical fend has recently
been at work upon the human heart;
His calculation IL a curious one, and
gives the work OF the heart in miles and
beats. 1t is based upon the presunP-
ton that the pulsations OF the cardiac
gan are xty-nine each minute, and
the assumption that the force OF each
pulsation is nine feet. Computed thus
according to his f.u,es, the mileage OF
the blood through the body might be ia
ken as 207 yards per minute, seven
miles per hour, l6S miles per day, 81 80

AN AWKWARD DILEMMA.
A Non-Partisan View of an Embarrassing
Position.


From Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper.
Independent; with Del4osratic ieanings.l
The "archangels" have reached point in their
progress toward perfection ryThers they will be-
compete ell to thr of the IN SIX. -Four years
ago their spotles5 Wilderness would not permit
them to consor5 with James q. Blaine. They
parted company with the political fT ends of .
lifetime solely because. as they alleged, the
personal character Of the Republican caniiiate
for the Presidency was not up to the archangeI
moral standard. Now, VIXEN the clean record
mad moral character OF General Harrison are
rather above than below he moral ell walton of
the Democra ic candidate. they have 10 excuse
/ their political apostasy based on the person
mel of the respective tickets. The uncovered
mugwumps are hence compelled 10 unmask and
admit that they have gone over to the enemy on
the question of the tariff. The mugwump logic
is, that no matter how yiciously stupidity
wrong political party may be, or may have been,
all the vital questions OF the past or the
present, il it only gets right On one question OF
political economy. 1t must be abJectly followed
and supported The Democratic party, for ex-
ample, may have been wrong on question so
vital rs the preservation of the existence OF the
nation but ii il faVors the proper rate of duty
on saltpeter and pig iron, it should govern the
nation that it did so little TO defend. II may as
a party be guilty of multiplying the Constitution
and the laws by practically denying the right of
suffrage to certain citizens, of ctrtain color,
living in certain States of the Union, but that is
n small matter compared with the import duty
on fsh-hooks and linseed oil In fact, the party
they have join5d may have been dead wrong on
every one of he twt nty-iive principal issues OF
declared it to be- but if it only promises to get
right the taxation of certain lines of merv han
disc, all will be forgiven. The killing of IL mil
lion men is nothing; the destruction of SIX
fiIlions of treasure is nothing the robbery Of
the right Of suffrage s nothing tranplinS upon
civil-Seryice rules is nothing: specie resumption
Is nothing our national bank currency Is moth

nothing; the rights OF our hsherm en- are moth

Ard what shall we think of the iewel-like CON
sistencv % the Mugwump newspapers They
are libel ng party which for tt quarter OF n
century they Landed. They must now commend
political party upon whose record they heaped
for half a lifetime their most witherin5 scorn
and most scorching contempt. Under the new
gospel of these political evagseists the past is
worthless blank the records of parties and OF
men signify naught. The party which promises

DR.. Downes, of Lakcport, Cal, had a
pet deer to which he was very much
attached. Last fall it ran away to the
mountains, and that was the last be saw
of it until the spring. when one day 1t
appeared in tie door yard, and walking
straight to the doctor, laid its head on

rather an unusual way, and finally dis
appeared. The next day it came again,
and acted as though il wanted the doc

Friday evening, during the rain, two

would settle their differences there. \

darkies pulled off his coat and went TO

knocked the negro down. The other
one, thinking that he was killed, started
off, but he negro jumped up and yelled :;

Democrats Do Not Like Their Poll.

Calvin s. Brice, nominal Chairman of the

his usual complaisant smile to-day. He looked
more like tie melancholy Dane pondering over

sad news his agents reportal to him about In
diana and New York. For the last few weeks
the Democrats have been conducting covert

has brought CONSERVATION instead of joy. 1t
was the intention of Col. Brice, though against
the wishes of ex-senator Barnum, TO publish the
poll o: the two States if the canvass proved sat
isfactory to the Democrats The report is in,
and there is gnashing of teeth and gen.
eral demand for secrecy on the part OF the en-
poyes at headquarters. In Indiana the. secret
agents were completely taken aback by the out
look, and made a report that shows how things
have changed since Senator Hendricks carried
the State in 1884. Equally disooareging reports
come in from this State. 1t is said the poll IL
New York wagto discover the sentiment as re-
cards Hill TO Cleveland and whether IL would be
io6cy to throw the former and run some
ot1fer Democrat for Governor. Tie result has
convinced the Readers that they will have TO put
Gov. Hill on the ticket again If the D,emocTata
desire to make any kind of a fight. BrTce de.
termination, or rather remark, that 1t would be
n campaign of intellect, has had little s1gnifi
ciRce, and the poll has convinced the leaders
that Doodle will have to be scattered about IN
the old-fa shioned way. By the free use of
money the Democrats hope to keep the bosses
and strappers true to the party.

throwing them wide open TO England. Other
questions have hitherto kept these two wings
together. Many times in Congress Mr.
Randall and those who believed with him
have shared with the Republicans the
task of warding off danger from in

has proved too powerful. Mr.. Randall has been
driven from the field Patronage and postotfces
have crushed out the Congressman, and the
question has n W been adjourned to that tr-
bunal which is too sreat for spoils to debauch-
the whole people of America.
Already there are signs which presage the vic
tory. Everywhere men are coming to under
stand that the old issues have passed to the

are Mt the next election interests at stake too
