The Trans-Mississippi Congre So.

DENVER, May 22,-The time Of the
Trans Mississippi congress was chiefly
taken up yesterday in discussion of the
next place of meeting, Omaha, New Or
leans and Wichita being the chief con-
testants. No decision was reached, how
ever, and the silver question, the regular
order of business, was taken up and is
still under discussion. On the question
of defraying the expenses OF the conven-
ton, Denver came to the front, through
volunteers, to liquidate all bills. This was
greeted with cheers.

CHICAGO, May 22.-The activity of the
Republicans in starting the canvass of 1872
is thorn in the side of ex-State Senator
Henry Westfeld of South Corolina, and
unless the Democrats bestir themselves
similarly the McKinleyites will by next
year be so far ahead, he says, as to defy
all powers.
"Why, since the convention OF the Re-
publican league in Cincinnati, the Re-
publcans have been working like bea-
vers down our way organizing clubs,' he
said at the Palmer house yesterday
"They are what count. They did the
business in 'SS and will in 1872 if the
Democrats don't wake up. Seems as If
the banquet of last fall still lies heavy on
the Democratic stomach. And instead OF
the leaders doing anything to enlist their
followers in the fight they are occupying
themselves with backbiting one another" "

One Horse Power.

When men first begin to become fa-
1niliar with the methods of measuring
mechanical power they often speculate
on where the breed of horses is to be
found that can keep at work raising
$4,000 pounds one foot per minute, or
the equivalent, which is more familiar
to some mechanics, of raising $50 pounds
100 feet per minute. Since $4,000 pounds
raised one foot per minute is called one
horse power, it is natural that people
should think the engineers who estab-
lished that unit of measurement based
it OH what horses could really do. But
the horse that can do this work does not
exist.
The horse power unit was established
by James Watt about century ago, and
the figures were fixed in curious way.
Watt found that the average horse of
his district could raise % 900 pounds one
foot per minute. At that time Watt
was employed in the manufacture of en-
gines, and customers We're so hard to
find that all kinds of artificial induce
ments were necessary to induce power
users to buy steam engines. As amethod
of encouraging them Watt offered to sell
engines reckoning $4,000 foot pounds to
a horse power. And thus he was the
means of giving a false unit to one of
the most important measurements in the
world.-Rider and Driver.

constipation and Insanity.

1t is now generally admitted that con-
stipation is productive of serious disor-
ders, that it aggravates other ailments,
increases the susceptibility of the system
to infectious diseases and produces a
state of general physical disturbance.
The nervous system is especially affected,
and it must be remembered that the
nervous centers are in the brain.
The deleterious effects of constipation
were formerly explained by tho pressure
of the hardened mass OH the blood vcs-
sells and nerves of the intestincs. But a
different view is now taken. 1t is be.
lieved that they arc duo to powerful
poisons, which have been proved to be
developed in the process of incipient de.
composition.
There is reason to believe that extreme
cases of constipation may result in in
sanity. In somo of tho worst cases OF
constipation there is FREQ passage
through the compact mass, tho latter
adhering i'll thick layers to tho walls OF
the intestines, while the patient has nc
suspicion of his real condition.
That grave diseases do not oftener re-
suit from constipation is due to the con
slant use of cathartics on the part Of
those affected. But such use is itself in
furious. Tho true course is to establish
habits that will cffectually remove til,
tendency to constipation. The muscula
vigor Of the intcstines needs to be in
creased by invigorating the muscula
system generally with proper outdoo

Laplace and Arago.

Laplace was a rather small man, with
q white necktie, looking very like u par
son, though he was reputed to be an
atheist, as indeed was the case. He was
then very old, and used an old mans
privilege, retiring to bed about 0o'clock.
Arago was u fine looking man, with a
very fine looking wife, and q stanch Re
publican. Laplace, on the contrary, was
weak, and always shifting his politics
according to the time. This led at last
to such quarrel between him and
Arago that it was not usual for persons
to attend the soirees of both.
When Laplace was near his end Arago
saw q man at his own soiree who usually
went to his rivals, and remarked, "Ah
he sees old Laplace is going and so he
has come to me-" 1t was usual for a
visitor, when once introduced, to &C
regularly, and it was considered rude tc
cut many soirees consecutively. La
placega only tea and coffee, but Cuvier
after his soiree was over, would sit down
with u few friends to tea and apple pie

Robert, tho Waiter, Is Dead.

On Thirty-fifth street is little low
browed chophouse. The place seats
but thirty people. The walls are smoked
and dingy and exude odors of 10000 by
gone chops and toasted cheese entertain
ments. The paintings crowd each other
on the dirty walls and have that pecul-
iarly indistinct look of the work of the
old masters.
Yet, forbiddi9g as this would all ap.
pear, this place is noted for its choice
morsels and is frequented by the SWELL
est men about town. Among the familiar
belongings the face of Robert, the single
waiter, is seen no more. Robert is dead.
Robert was a waiter among walters. He
never forgot. He knew thousand GUS
toners by sight. He sized personal tastes
up by a sort of instinct. He was never
etfusive, but took your tip graciously.
Tips? He made from five to twenty
dollars day, did Robert. He averaged
$500 month and he had a monopoly.
But Robert is dead, good fellow, and
gone where tips are not recognized. He
is not forgotten, however, by any means,
for late in the morning, over your Welsh
rarebit and toby of ale, you will hear
many stories of tho dead waiter whose
face SO long seemed q part of the place.

Maine and Her B1ackerel.

The advent of mackerel upon the
Maine coast and into its countless little
bays occasions great general excitement
and feeling of security against positive
want the coming winter. The good
people all hasten to salt down q barrel of
fish to each family, and with pork and
potatoes in the cellar they feel that they
can in a measure prepare, like the
oft quoted man in Scripture, to "eat,
drink and be merry" In these Maine
villages visited by the silvery tribe there
is an odor Of cooking mackerel emanat-
ing from every cottage, and the summer
visitor may reckon on getting all the fish,
and more, that he wants. 1t is at such
times that the boarding house keeper
makes something on his people who pay
him only q dollar day.-Boston Herald.

Playing Pcekaboo with Death.

Mrs. Divine, a widow, of Cornwall, N,
Y, went to church Sunday, leaving her
two little girls, Nora and fanny, aged
respectively six and four years, alone in
the house. Half an hour later Mrs.
Benton, the wife of a neighboring
farmer, saw the children sitting on the
grass under an apple tree, striking every
few moments at something on the
ground. After each stroke they scream
ed with laughter.
Mrs. BeIton's curiosity was aroused,
and she crossed the road to see what was
amusing them. AS she approached them
Nora cried gleefully, "Big worm
playin' peckaboo wit u.s." She had
hardly ceased speaking when half the
length of a great copperhead snake
darted out of the hole in the direction of
the children. Two switches descended
smartly upon it and the ugly head was
quickly pulled back.
Mrs. Benton called to her husband,
who was watching her, and rushing for
ward she dragged the little girls away
from the hole. Mr.. Benton arrived just
as the snake looked out again to see
what had become of them. The farmers
stick fell upon his head and he went
back no more. His body was very
nearly four feet long. Mrs. Divine
tainted when she saw the snake and
heard the story, but tho children
wept and refused to be comforted be-
cause their playmate was dead.-Hart-
ford Post
