Reflections.

1t seems very strange for us to have to
son. and he is too aged. and his life impress
sion too decidedly fixed, for the changed
name to get established. Just as we speak
of Shakespeare. and Wordsworth, and Bull
think and speak of Tennyson. A poets
proper crown is not peerage. but ma
tons admiration and love. and the worlds
uplifting by his words of trust and hope.
his versions of the perfect, the beautiful,
and the true, his subtle readings of human
hearts and motives. England, and the En-
glish speaking races of the world, crowned
TennysOn long ago, and the peerage crown
seems but little thing. only needing a
passing word.
The political caldrons are boiling. But
an acute observer sees that the general pub
lie is less partisan than it was ten years ago,
or even four years ago. 1t is a wholesome
state of things. Good men will stand the
best chance of election, provided that they
have some capacity to win popular affec
ton. In politics. at least there are no good
icebergS.
In a few days Ferdinand Ward, the most
picturesque and romantic figure in the crisis
of 1884. in New York. will leave the walls
of the penitentiary at Sing Sing. His sue
cess in Wall street. by which poor youth
laid his hands on dozen or more millions
of other mems money, appropriately eli
NAKED at the time by his enforced visit to
the cell formerly tenanted by William M.
Tweed, was a romance of rascality; and yet
no one can tell just how he succeeded in
using the cupidity of mankind to blind their
eyes to the plainest principles of finance
The scheme was simple enough: Loan $7O.-
900 on securities worth 100000. Then
take the securities to bank and hypOthe
cate them for 800. 900. To thief the profit
is just $40, 900. But the genius lies in con-
cealing the simplicity of the business.
1t was not strange that General Grant
was deceived by young Ward. No one
supposed that the General was an acute and
expert man of business. But men who
ought to have been acute and expert men
of buSiness-fOr that was their calling
were as completely deceived as General
Grant. There are always hindsight philos
ophers land small. eyed sons of detracton"
to seize such an occasion as that memOra
BILE panic, for instance, to criticise great
and good men. General Grants vindica-
ton lay in the fact that there were very few
L
nand Ward did not deceive.
Something new in the matter of mixed
metaphor appears in the political arena.
A correspondent. writing of political or
ganiZatOn, described some elements of it as
''cancerOus barnacles." We notice, too, a
new (?) verb in politics. A dreary and
egOistic speaker at a convention is said to
have pepper sauced himself over an i'm.
patient audience"
They continue to find Charley Ross.
One was found in Missouri this month.
But each time it is not the true Charley
Ross. What an amount of agony his par.

the knowledge that the boy died long ago!
But reflect, too, on the uses of that tragedy.
Thousands of children are watched over
with more diligence because that tragedy
recurs daily to the minds of parents as

Dying OF a Broken Heart.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
IL appears that 1t is quite possible
for the heart to break. People who
die of broden hearts, so called, do not
actually succumb from disruption Of
the structural arrangements. In this
regard the phrase Is q misnomer. 1t
is generally applied to people who die
owing to intense mental sufferings.
from blighted affections or the loss OF
friends. Thackeray has said that no
man ever dies of q "broken heart"
in his love affairs, and it is very
certain that In this respect
the term has no actual meaning
The heart, however, does physically
break, either from sudden shock or
from Overstrain. A captain on q yes.
sci who had set out to marry lady
on reaching bis destination was
abruptly informed that she had mar
ried, and the man fell to the ground
and Immediately expired. The heart
was discovered to be literally rent
into two pieces. Again, an instance
is on record of boy, very strong and
healthy, who in, attempting to raise
sheaf of corn, fell dead in the effort.
In this instance the poet mortem
disclosed large rent in the heart.
The sudden propulsion OF blood upon
the left ventricle, which is the hard.
est worked portion of the heart and
where the rupture generally takes
place, forces the tissues asunder. In
book entitled "The Physical Causes
of Christ's Death" the writer states
that Christ died from broken heart,
so that, when the soldier pierced mis-
side, blood and water flowed out,
which would have been an impossi.
bility IL no rupture had taken place.

Kansas boys-the regulars did not seem
to fancy them-set themselves to work
manufacturing belts out Of the skins of
the n1ottled serpents. which they wore
around their waists or slouct hAts,
cowboy" fashion.
The ''den," which, OF course. was dis
covered by Kansas youth, who had
been reared on the broad western
prairies of the state, was a great crack
in the indurated rock, about twelve
feet in length and foot wide. How
deep it penetrated into the ledge could
not be determined accurately, as tho
longest pole obtaina BILE failed to ''reach
bottom" The cliff itself on which the
''den" was found, was situated very Pc
cnliarly; an isolated mass of disrupted
earth and stone, Immediately opposite
Medicine bluff, the top of which COM
prised an area of only three hundred
square feet. elevated more than one
hundred feet above the base of the hill
| on which it stood, 4 sort Of a mountain
on a mountain. 1t was cut off from all
access, except by water, and another
ledge which lowered above it. To
reach the den one had to climb down
the almost perpendicular side of the
ledge or wall of the upper mountain, a
very dangerous passage. The den had
evidently been a alternating place of
snakes for ages, if the smoothly-wora
rock over which they were obliged to
travel to reach their holes was any indi-
cation, for it was polished like mir
ror, the result of centuries of their
migrations; besides. the Kiowas have a
very ancient tradition concerning the
spot.
The number of snakes killed and cap
tured by the soldiers was marvellous.
i They would have filed six-mnle army
wagon without any exaggcrati,n. They
were very large, too, many of them
measuring eight feet frori head to tail,
not counting the rattles.
| Among the traditions OF the kiowas,
that of this snake den is the oldest. II
has been handed down orally from,
their earliest cxistence IA great
many years ago, when the earth was
young, and no white man had ever yet
been seen by the red man of the prai'
ries, there was an old ArapahOe chief
who was so aged that he knew he was
drawing near to his end. One morning
he wandered away from the camp ant
the lodges of the tribe, in the hope o
finding some place where he might liz
down resignedly aud pass over to tn
happy hunting grounds calmly and un
disturbed. He believed the top of tn
bluff, out of sight of all his people. t.
be the most suitable place. SO there h
dragged his weary and nearly paraly yze'
legs. When he arrived at the mouth o
the den he entered it and was neve
seen again by mortal eye in his norma
