MORRISON FOR PRESIDENT.
He Says the Two Factions Must Get
Together ON Common Ground.

Springfield, ILL.,. Feb. 22.-Col. William
r. Morrison arrived here this morning
from Hot Springs, Ark, and went into a
conference with prominent democrats. In
answer to a question whether he was
seeking the democratic nomination for
President, Col. Morrison said: "If the
nomination comes to me easily and natu-
rally, 1 am a candidate, but in the sense
of an 'off1ce-chaser and beggar,' 1 am
not"
He felt the party had been badly divid-
ed over the money question. One element,
he said, shouted for gold standard while
the other beloved themselves hoarse for
the unlimited coinage of silver at a 16
to 1 ratio. They must meet on common
grounds, he said, split their differences
and get together. Col. Morrison left for
st. Louis at 3 p. m. From there he goes
TO washington.

THE BISHOP spRINTED.

A good story is told OH the venerable
Bishop Whipple. The scene Is laid in
st. Paul, and the story runs as follows:
One evening in the fall and after
dark, as the bishop was walking along
the street, &c noticed little fellow try
ing to ring the doorbell of a fine resi-
dence. He was TOO Short to do any
more than reach it, anG, although he
stood on his tlptoes and stretched Wig
orously, no sound came from the bell
The kindhearted prelate felt called
upon to assist him. and so ascending
the steps, asked:
Shall help you, ny little man?'
The boy intimated that such course
would be gratifying To him, and the
bishop rang the bell Thereupon the
little fellow remarked:
Now we'd better both run like h--l!'
and decamped as rapidly as possible.
1t took the bishop just a moment to
remember that it WIS Halloween, and
it is said that he made tracks and got
around the corner about as rapidly as
did the little boy.--Wabash Herald.

MRS. M'DoUGAL A TRILBY.
Clergyman Finds That His Two Sons
Are the Svengalis Of Sad Story.


The presence at Bridgeport, Conn, OF
Rev. Mr.. Mcleod of Stafford Springs,
Conn, his two sons, Edward and Ray,
and Mrs. McDougal, has brought IT,
the surface a most remarkable and ro-
mantle story. Inclnedtally William Bus

indeed stranger than fiction" 1t is

New York Journal, with all the ac-
companying incidents which made
Du Maurier's heroine such remark
able character of recent fiction and
stage life. Mrs. McDougal, the unfor-
tunate woman in the present story,
sang in the streets of New York, and
it is alleged that she has been under
the influence, hypnotic or otherwise,
OF two brothers, who united their
abilities TO be two Syengalis to her in
stead of one. The story is as follows:
Fifteen years ago Miss Mary Graham,
the daughter of wealthy New Yorker,
the niece of Gen. Graham Of the United
States army. and descendant of Alex
ander Hamilton, was married to Mr..
McDougal The affair was very swell,
and the father of the bride gave to her
about $4,000 After three years Of
miserable life she left her husband, and
squandering what money she possessed,
became the victim of the morphine
habit. Then she became social out
cast, and, although she had no means
of support, her pride was too great for
her to appeal to her family. To exc
out a wretched living, this daughter
of afFluence ami refinement stood in the
cutters of the business streets of New
York and sang for the pennies of the
passersby.
Her voice attracted more than the
usual attention, and it was the means
of making her case known to her fam
lily, who took her back to their horne
Then she soon became very i'll, and was
sent to private hospital While sick
she inherited from an aunt $4,000. A
medical student, whose good looks at
tracted her attention, became her at
tendant. and she fell desperately in
love with aim. II is claimed that she
paid for his education and literally
supported him with money, and the
two eloped after he had graduated.
Having gotten from her about all the
money he needed, he is said to have
suddenly deserted her and she in des-
peration returned to the morphine
habit. Again she was reduced TO al
most beggary, when she inherited
further sum, and rerouncing all her
bad habits. went to Philadelphia, where
for three years she lived respectfully.
1t was there that Edward Mcleod,
student at college, met her, and he had
but little money ana she had consid-

WALKING $500 MILES AN HOUR.

Have you ever thought of the dis
lance you travel while you are out for
an hours stroll? Possibly you walk
three miles within the hour, but that
does not by any means represent the
distance you travel The earth turns
on its axis every twenty-four hours.
For the sake of round figures we will
call the earth's circumference $4,000
miles, and so you must have travelled
during your hours stroll a thousand
miles in the axial ,urn of the earth.
But this is by no means all. The
earth makes journey round the sun
every year, and a long but rapid trip
ii is. The distance Of our planet from
the sun we will put at 100000 miles.
This is the radius Of the earth's orbit
half the diameter of the circle, as we
call it. The whole diameter is, there
fore, 1874, 100000 miles, and the circum-
ference, being the diameter multiplied
by 8. 1416, is about 57S,O00,000.
This amazing distance the earth
travels in its yearly Journey, and di-
viding it by 365 we find the daily speed
about 1854 600 Then, to get the dis
lance you rode round the sun during
your hours walk, divide again by "a
and the result is about $4,000 miles
But this is not the end of your hours
trip. The sun, with its entire brood Of
I planets, is moving in space at the rate
of 166 100000 miles in year. This is
MT the rate of o little more than Asa 900
miles a day, or $4,000 miles an hour
So, adding your three miles of leg
travel TO the hours axial movement Of
the earth. this to the earth's orbital
journey, and that again to the earth's
excursion with the sun, and you find
you have travelled in the hour, $3.50
miles.
