PROMISED POLITICAL SURPRISES.
A General Upsetting of States Predicted
from Southern California.

There will be surprise party next fall
when the State election returns come in,
particularly for the Democratic party" said
delegate from San Diego county to-day.
1" The mighty immigration that has flowed
into Southern California during the past
TWO years is the factor that will cause the
surprise, and roll up majority of Repub-
lican votes that will be simply startling.
For instance, San Diego county, which
cast 600 votes all told two years ago, now
has 5000 names on the register, and will
have fully 1900 before election dag.
There will be at least 5000 or 10000 new
voters in that county this year, and there is
every indication that from two thirds to
three fourthS of them are Republican. SO
that our county will return from 1900
to 5000 votes next fall, as against
500 two years ago. San Bernardino
county cast 5000 votes at the last cleo
ton. and will show up with about 5000
This year. aud Il Republican majority of
about 1000. But Los Angeles county is
the one that will give the Democracy a

lalion now and the register shows that

with a Republican mslurity of at least
1900. Tulare. San Benlto aud Kern c0un-
| ties are probably Democratic by a slight
majority, but Fresno, which went Demo-
cratic two years ago, promises 10 swing
around on account Of the tariff question
and give the Republicans small majority,
so that the Democracy can count upon but
three counties this year. The people who
estimate that California will only give Har-
rison and Morton a majority of 5000 or
5000 don't take into consideration the
mighty political change that has taken
place in the southern part of the State
since the last Presidential election. If the

Mr.. Scoteld was aroused by the move

was hastily concealed in a room on the

aroused to II high pitch and
he questioned his wife in most
violent way concerning the man who
had been with her. She steadfastly refused
to give the mans name and insisted that
he had left the house. There was lively
quarrel between the husband and wife,
which only ended when Scotield LETT tho

She retired and knew no more OF the

AuStraiia'S First Settlers.
From the National Review.

From the National Review.
The only object aimed at by the
British government In settling Austria
liza was to get rid OF the convicts. One
can scarcely believe even that it was
expected that the convicts should do
more than drag out brief and miser-
able existence under the rigors OF a
rule designed rather to hasten than to
prolong their end. The arrangement
under which Gov. Phillip was dis
patched did not contain a single eIe-
ment of permanence. Not the least
startling part in connection with this
point is that OF the total number of
1,O3O persons who landed from the
vessels of the expedition, only 135
were women. The other Give stock"
consisted of horses, IL cows, / bull,
and 12 sheep, while the expedition
was so badly provisioned that from
the very moment OF landing starva-
ton began to stare the settlers in the
face. To redress the balance of the
sexes, the British government. in
dispatch, OF which q copy may be seen
to this day in the record office, au-
thorized the governor to send a trans.
port to one of the neighboring
Friendly islands and kidnap 200
native women as wives for
the unprovided males in the colony.
This gives good idea OF the views
which the British government OF that
day held as to the future ofAustralia.
But badly off as the settlers were at
the first, their condition speedily be-
came worse. One characteristic mis-
fortune and it's sequel may be men.
toned. To the distress OF the little
community, it was found one day
that the bull and four OF the COWS
had escaped from the inclos-
ure. Search parties were sent out,
but in vain. Several years had passed
by, and then rumors reached the set
tlement that herd OF cattle had
been seen about forty miles in the in
terror. Again parties were sent out in
search, and to the Joy of the people
they found the lost cattle, now in
creased to several hundred. The
place where the herd were grazing is
now called the Cow Pastures. This
story is enshrined in the most cher.
ished traditions OF the colony; it is
not tor me to cast doubt on its au-
tnenticity. Here. then, was the ugly
duckling out of which the swan of the
southern seas was to grow. Branded
from the first with the stain of con-
victism, settled by the scum Of the

Found but Lost Again.

After separation OF twenty years John
3. Craddock and wife met in Nebraska
city. about April l. They came to this
country in 1865, converts to Mormonism.
BY arrangement the wife started for Salt
Lake III advance OF her husband. On
her arrival there she fell into the hands of
one OF the apostles, who was taken
by her charms, and upon learning OF
the expected arrival OF her husband, hid
her away. When Craddock arrived he
could find no trace OF her and after vain
search OF several days returned and set
tied in Nebraska City. In the course OF II
year. believing that his wife had been kill
ed by Indians on her way to Salt lake, he
married again. Mrs. Craddock finally es.
capped from her confinement in Utah and
returned to England, where she re-
manned until about eight months ago,
" hen she learned through relatives OF her
husband in England that he was still alive
and residing in Nebraska. About the first
of last month she came over and found
him living with his second wife and n large
family OF children. After talking the mat
ter over, however, she was convinced that
he had acted in good faith, and although
she says she still loves him dearly decided
not to disturb his present relations. and
at once bade him a last adieu and started
back for England.

Mechanism of the Heart.


In the human subject the average
rapidity OF the cordiac pulls alton of
an adult male is about seventy beats
per minute. These beats are more ire.
quent as a rule in young children and
III women, and there are variations
within certain limits in particular
persons owing to peculiarities of or
ganizatlon. 1t would not necessarily
lie an abnormal sign to find in some
particular in dividual the habitual
frequency OF the hearts action from
sixty to sixty five or from seventy.fiye
to eighty per minute. AS a rule the
hearts action is slower and more pow
erful IN fully developed and muscular
organizations, and more rapid and fee
ble in those OF slighter form.
In animals, therange is from twenty
five to fortyfive in the cold-blooded
and fifty upward in the warm-b -blooded
animals, except in the case of a horse,
which has a very slow heart beat, only
forty strokes minute. The puisa-
tions of men and all animals differ
with the sea level also. The work of
a healthy human heart has been
shown to equal the feat of raising five
tons four hundred weight one foot per
hour, Or 125 tons in twenty-four
hours. The excess of this work un-
der alcohol in varying quantities is
often very great. A curious calcula-
tion has been made by DIR. Richard
son, giving the work OF the heart in
mileage.
Presuming that the blood was
thrown out of the heart at each pul.
sation in the proportion of sixty-nine
strokes per minute, and at the as
sumed force of nine feet. the mileage
OF the blood through the body might
be taken at 2O7 yards per minute,
seven miles per hour, 16S miles per
day, 61.32O miles per year, or 5,15O,-
$50 miles in a lifetime of eighty-four
years. The number of beats of the
heart in the esame long life would reach
the grand total of 1850, 776,OOO.
