Getting the Drop on a Burglar.
From the Albany Journal.

A We!l-KnOWn young man OF this city,
who will recognize himself as the hero
Of this thrilling tale, few days ago shot
and MORALLY wounded a large and ex-
pensive pier glass in his fathers parlor.
He came in very late latter an unsuc-
cessful effort to unlock the front door
with his umbrella) through an unfas-
tened coal hole in the sidewalk Com
ing to himself toward daylight he
found himself spring oyercoat, silk
hat, flag" and all-stretched out in
the bath-tub. With some little difficult
ty he reached his room, and was just
about to light the gas with his night
key, when he heard a suspicious sound
on the lower floor Convinced that it
was burglars he wendell his somewhat
tortuoUs way to a table near by and
took from the drawer his loaded re-
volver. He made noise enough going
downstairs to have announced his COM
ing to deaf man, but finally reached
the parlor door and crept through
the doorway on all tours. In
the middle of the room he rose to
his knees, then to mis- feet. A dark fig
ure rose simultaneously in front of him.
AS the young man raised his pistol the
morning twilight flashed on a cleaning
weaponin the hand of the other. "HoP
on, mic m fren ~ the young man ex-
claimed, GIVE gic got sh' drob on
your The pistols flashed simultan-
eously; the house rang with a loud re-
port, and crash of glass instantly
followed it. When the startled fam
lily reached the spot the brave scion
of the house Of sat on the floor amid
the debris, carefully examining himself
in search of wounds, while a smile of
righteous triumph shone in his face.
II bic 7 broughd m DOWN. he MUIR
bmured. When he discovered that his
deadly bullet had obliterated his own
reflection in the big parlor mirror, his
triumph grew beautifully less, and he
then and there swore off, "for good and
all " he saws.

Changed His Shirts Often.

An old fellow who was running saw
mill down in the southern part of Ten
nessee, says the Arkansaw Traveller,
had considerable trouble in getting q
man who understood the business of
sawyer.s Finally, when the owner of
the mill become wholly discouraged, a
respectable fellow came along and asked
for situation. He showed paper from
one of the leading mill men of the
country stating that the applicant was
one of the best of sawyers. He was en-
gagged, and when he had been at work
about three weeks, the proprietor
called him one morning and said:
Mr.. Collier, you needn't go to work
to-day"
Are you going to shut down ?"
Vas, so fur ez you are consumed"
hat, you don't want me any long
"Yas, that's it,
"Why, haven't been giving satisfac-
ton ?'
go, yes, so fur ez yo' work goes"
"Then what is the matter ?"
"Well, | have noticed that you put on
too many shirts
II don't understand you"
wall, you change yo' shirts too often
You have been workin' here now three
WOOho, Oil HOtlC0 GudG you put Oh d
clean shirt about every eight days"
But, my gracious, is there anything
wrong in that?"
To some folks thar mouten't be, but
thar is to me. A tellar came along here
once and changed his shirt every twelve
days"
"Well," said the sawyer, "what else
did he do ?"
"Run away and married my daughter
that's what he done. Then thar came
along fellar that changed his shirt
bout every ten days. He ran away
with my wife. Then another fellar
changed his shirt bout every nine days,
and run away with my pocket-book that
contained SIS. So / find that the ofner
a man changes his shirt the worse he is,
an afearin' that you mout run away
with my mule colts, reckon you'd bet
ter 60 now, while I've got my eye on

LOST WITH HIS YACHT.
"A PLEASURE Boat Run Down aud T. Rarri-
son Garrett Drowned.


BALTIMORE, Md, June ST. Harrison
Garrett, brother Of Robert Garrett
and manager Of the banking firm Of
Robert Garrett & Sons, of this city, was
drowned last night in the Patapsco
River. His yacht, the Clean, in which
he and party of friends were coming
to Baltimore from Annapolis, was run
down off Seven Foot Knoll by the
steamer Joppa and sunk, being struck
amldshlps and almost cut in two.
The steamer Sue, Capt. Geoghegan,
came up to about four miles below
Seven Foot Knoll, where he found the
Joppa, which signaled him and told
MIN he had run into the CLEAN and
asked him to take the crew and passen-
gers to Baltimore. Capt. Geoghegan
bought up Gen. r. SnoWden Andrews,
George A. Won Dingen, two other pas
sengers and Capt. Tory and the crew of
the Clean. The Joppa proceeded on
down the bay.
The steward of the Clean told Capt.
Geoghegan that the last time he saw Mr..
Garrett he was standing on the after
deck OF the Clean near where the Jop-
pa struck her. He grabbed the chains
OF the JOppa which were hanging down
and called the rest of his party to fol-
low him, as he tried to climb up the
sides of the steamer, but the chains and
boat gave way and Mr.. Garrett fell
overheard with them.
Mr.. Garrett was manager of the firm
of Robert Garrett & Sons, which was
founded by Robert Garrett, his grand
father. He married Miss Witridge and
has two sons. Mr.. Garrett was mem
Der of the Maryland Club and one of the
directory of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road. He was said to be splendid
swimmer. He was large, fine look
ing man and weighed $50 pounds.
His brother, Robert Garrett, is still
in Europe. Mr.. Garrett resided at
Evergreen" his residence on Charles
Street Avenue. His library is the larg-
est private collection in the state, en-
bracing works Of the rarest and most
photography of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad in the country. The col
lection of autograph letters which he
owned is unusually large and interest
ing, containing letters of nearly all the
prominent historical personages from
Washington to the present day.
The steamer Joppa belongs to the
Maryland Steamboat Company. The
CLEAN was steam yacht about 120 feet
in length. In regard to the responsible
ity for the accident there is scant in
formation as yet.
Gen. Andrews offered the crews of
the Joppa and Clean $4,000 if they re-
covered Mr. Garrett alive, but all efforts
were unavailing. A boat arrived
from the scene of the wreck at l
o'clock this afternoon and reports that
nothing has been seen of the body, and,
curious to say, the boat which fell from
the Cleans side and carried Mr.. Gar
rett with it is also missing; but no hope
IS held out that he could have gotten in
20 it and been saved

Crops IN THE SOUTH.
Report on the Condition of The Growing
Cotton.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 8.-The reg
ular monthly crop report for
the Memphis District, which en-
braces West Tennessee, North Miss
lsslppi, North Arkansas and North
Alabama, to be published here to-mor-
row, will say that the weather during
May was not in the main favorable to
cotton; cool weather which prevailed all
during the month retarded the growth
of the plant and in some sections it was
too dry. Generous rains have fallen
throughout the district since many of
the replies were sent in which has i'm
proved the general condition of the
plant and Notwithstanding the season is
1ull two weeks later than last year, the
plant is healthy and growing we'll and
with favorable conditions in the future,
fine yield can reasonably be anticipat-
ed. The acreage planted in cotton
shows an increase OF p per cent. for the
district.

The Human Heart.
From the Medical World.

In the human subject the average
rapiditv of the cardiac pulsation of an
adult male is about 20 beats per minute.
These beats are more frequent,
as g rule, in young children and
women, and there are varia-
tons within certain limits in par
ticular persons owing to peculiari-
ties of organization. It would not nee
essarily be an abnormal sign to find in
some particular individuals the habitu-
al frequency of the hearts action from
go to IS or rs to so per minute. AS
rule, the hearts action is slower and
more powerful in fully developed
and muscular organizations, and more
form. In animals the range is from
25 to 45 in the cold-blooded and
so upward in the warm-blooded
animals, except in the case of a
horse, which has a very slow heart
beat-only 40 strokes a minute. The
pulsations of men and all animals diff
fer with the sea level also. The work
of healthy human heart has been
shown to equal the feat of raising tons
hundredWeight one foot per hour, or
125 tons in "a hours. The excess of the
work under alcohol IN varying quanti-
ties is often very great. A curious cal
cuIatlOn has Deen maze Dy Dr. Richard
son, giving the work of the hearth mile
age. Presenting that blood was thrown
out of the heart at each pulsation in the
proportion of SO strokes per minute,
and at the assumed force of nine feet,
the mileage of the blood through the
body might be taken at 207 yards per
minute, miles per hour, 16S miles per
day, 81 800 miles per year, or 5,150,SS0
miles in a lifetime of S4 wears. The
number of beats of the heart in the
same long life would reach the grand
total of 1853, 10000.
