The Story of a Chignon.
From the Boston Journal


There was quite a sensation in the little vii
lage of D, one Monday morning Cousin
Matte being the innocent cause of it. Mrs L.
with whom she was passing few days, was a
lively. agreeable, though not young widow who
owned very pretty cottage near the lake, and
was much of favorite in the village. On the
morning referred to she went out early, as was
her usual custom, to attend to the little wants
of the day. She was soon greeted by Deacon
Jones with: Good morning, Mrs. L.. /; did not
see you at church yesterday"
Il am glad you missed me- Deacon, but had
a severe headache"
THAT is certainly good excuse" he replied
with peculiar smile on his face. A little
further on she met Mrs D.
"Ah, good morning Mrs. L. You are OUT
bright and early, and looking very happy this
morning"
lis that anything unusualg' replied the
widow, as she passed on to the market.
The vender Of pork and chops came smilingly
forward.

serene temper beginning TO be a little ruffled

The Human Haart.
FROM The Medicnl Record


In the human subject tie average rapidity of
the cardiac pulSation of an adult male is about
seventy beats per minute. These beats are
more frequent. as q rule, in young children and
women, and there are variations within certain
limits in particular persons owing to peculiari-
ties or organization. 1t would not necessarily
be an abnormal sign to find in some particular
individuals the habitual frequency Of the hearts
action from sixty to sixty five or seventy-fve to
eighty per minute. AS a rule the hearts action
Is slower and more powerful In fully developed
and muscular organizations and more rapid
and feebler In those of slighter form In ami
mails the range is from twenty-five to forty-f1ve
In the cold blooded and fifty and upward in the
warm-blooded animals, except In the case of a
horse, which has a very slow heartbeat
only forty strokes minute. The pulsations of
men and ali 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 under alcohol in varying quantities is
often very great A curious calculation has
been made by DR.. Richardson, giving the work
of the heart in mileage. Presenting that the
blood was thrown out of the heart at each
pulsation in the proportion of sixty-nne 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 Der
year, or S. $50 miles in a lifetime of "a years
The number of beats of the heart in the same
long life would reach the grand total of
1850 no 000

Tho New Ohief of POLICE.

Mr.. John Green, who has been connected
with the police force Of this city long
time, first as a sergeant and then as lieuten-
ant and assistant chief under
Gen. Anderson, has been elected
chief of the force. He has been acting
chief since the death of Gen. Anderson. In
the different positions which he has filled he
has acquitted himself well. 1t remains to
be seen whether he has the qualifications
necessary to give the city good police
service. The strong argument for his
election was that the door of
promotion should be open to tho members
of the force in order that they may be en-
couraged to give the city the best service of
which they are capable. The argument is
a good one, and Mr.. Green has n chance to
show that the Council did not make a mis-
take in being influenced by it.

Struck Him for a Loan.
From a Washington Letter.

A Texan in Washington once applied to Con
gresham Culberson for little temporary loan,
promising to pay it back In thirty days if he
lived. Months went by and the loan was not
paid. One day the Texan met Mr. Culberson
and extended his hand The Congressman
stared and didn't shake hands After a few
embarrassing moments he drawled out:
Il don't know YOU, sir"
'Oh, yes, you do, said the Texan. 81 am Mr..
Blank, of San Antonio
Culberson shook lis head as he replied with
gravity:
You are not the Blank of San Antonio that |
knew. He is dead. He borrowed some money
of me and said he would return it in thirty days
if he lived. That was year ago have never
seen the money, so know Mr.. Blank, of San
Antonio, is dead, for he was a man of his word :
The Texan stammered and shamefacedly said.
81 haven't got the money just at present,
but"
You don't owe me id cent, sir" inter
rupted Mr.. Culberson in his mperturbable man
ner. 'rhe man refer TO is dead, or he would
have paid the money"
The San Antonio man disappeared and he has
carefully kept away from Congressman Culber-
son ever since. He holds an Office in the Treas
ury department.

A Blue Grass Farm.
From, the Ne,o York TribunI

from the Ne1O York Tribune.
It would naturally be thought that a farm of
$500 acres in the Blue Grass region was a
plum" Yet Gen. Jackson, the half owner
and manager of the great Belle Meade farm in
Tennessee, is q bear on stock farms as in
vestments 1T require as close attention, ~
said he, Ito keep things moving on this farm as
1t does to manage the largest railroad corpora
ton in the country and then the profits are
not enormous. We have done nothing since we
came into the management of the place but to
improve it. Not single dollar that has been
earned on the place has beon expended outside
OF it. We begin to look ahead now eight or ten
years to the time when we shall stop that policy
and be able to swing on the front gate and lick
molasSes candy after the Eastern fashion. |
pre- sumo about that time we will be passing in
our checks The property you know, will be
divided among six persons--my own three
children and the three children of my
brother, Judge Jackson. That
will be less than a thousand acres each. Less
than a thousand acres of blue grass land is a
pretty small farm on which to attempt to make
living. 1t can be done, but it is pretty hard
work. We have on Belle Meade about 100
brood mares. We loaf around that quota
pretty close year after year"

Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, is on very
good terms with the President now, though
a year or two ago lie was engaged in a
bitter fight upon the administration. His
defeat can hardly be ascribed to the ina
chine" at Washington, though it is common
these days for anti-Cleveland journals to
charge up to the President everything they
don't Like. Senator Eustis is an able man.

The Thurman Movement.

The movement to nominate Judge Thur
man for the second place on the Democratic
ticket is very popular one, and one that
will be successful if he will accept the posi-
| ton. Some of his Ohio friends seem to
think he can be induced to accept. 1t is
quite certain that a strong pressure will be
brought to bear upon him to influence him
to do so.
There is no good reason why
he should not. He is quite an old man, it
is true. being % years of age, but there are
many older men who are still leading an
| active business or professional life. Mr.
Gladstone is about 80, and if the oppor-
tunity presented itself he would not hest
tate, in all probability, to accept the
Premiership of the English government.
Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, is rs, and still
attends to his Senatorial duties; Senator
Evarts is 20, and looks as if he was good
for ten years more of service, while Repre-
sentative Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who is
"A, is one of the hardest workers in Con-
gress.
Judge Thurman's mind is as clear and
strong as it ever was, and he is not a feeble
man PAiJ SlSollJs no SulIeTS great zeal
from rheumatism and neuralgia, but he
does not suffer from them to such an extent
as to incapacitate him for work
A ticket composed of Cleveland and Thur
man would be a very strong one-the
strongest that could possibly be nominated.
Judge Humans long and honorable career
in the Senate gave him reputation for
craftsmanship enjoyed by but few public
men. In the West his nomination would
be especially popular, and might be the
means of placing several States of that sec
ton in the Democratic column.
Judge Thurman, before his retirement
from public life, was prominent as Presi-
Dental candidate That fact, however,
should not be in the way of his acceptance
of a nomination for Vice President Other
distinguished men who sought the Presi-
dency have accepted the Vice Presidency.
Judge Thurman would be warmly well
coined as the presiding officer of the Senate.
He was a great favorite when Senator,
and the qualities which made him friends
then would make him popular presiding
officer Let the ticket be Cleveland and
Thurman.

The nomination of Mr.. Fuller for Chief
Justice will be taken up again to-day. Its
consideration was postponed Monday, be-
cause, it is said a Chicago lawyer, whose
name is withheld, has filed charges affect
ing the professional conduct of Mr.. Fuller
in certain cases, and will appear before the
committee to-day to attempt to substan-
tiate them. In Washington the matter is
not regarded as of any consequences beyond
showing the narrow mindedness of the few
Senators who are disposed to oppose Mr.
Fuller's confirmation.
