A curious investigation of the muscu-
lar force of the human heart, and the
comparative amount of work it per-
forms, has recently been made and pub
lisheda by Mr.. Haughton, an eminent
English mathematician. Starting with
the postulates-frst, that three ounces
of blood are driven from each ventricle
at each stroke of the heart second, that
the hydrostatic pressure in the left ven
tricle and aorta against which the blood
is forced out amounts to a column of
blood nearly ten feet in vertical height;
third, that the muscular force of the
left ventricle, in contracting, bears to
that of the right ventricle in proportion
of thirteen to fve-he proceeds to show
that the daily work of the left ventricle
is equivalent to over eighty-nine tons
lifted one foot, and that of the right to
over thirty-four tons or, for both to-
gether, to over one hundred and twenty
three tons lifted through one foot. The
enormous amount of force denoted by
the preceding result our author goes on
to illustrate by showing, first, that if
the daily work of ten hours by labor
ing man be equivalent to three hun
dred and fifty-four tons lifted through
one foot, the heart does over one-third
as much in twenty-four hours ); there





whatever actually accomplish more
work in one day than the strongest av-
erage laboring man; second, that the
laboring force of the heart is, greater
than that expended in propeling an
eight-oared boat through the water dur
ing the severest boat-race third, that
if the heart expended its entire force
in lifting its own weight vertically, it
| would raise this weight nearly 10000
feet in one hour, or twenty times as far
as an active pedestrian can climb in YER
tical altitude in the same time fourth,
that the greatest distance through
| which locomotive has been able to lift
itself up an incline has been 2,700 feet
in an hour, and that this is equal to
only one-eighth part of the energy of
the human heart In fine, our author
thinks he has succeeded in proving that
the human heart is the most wonderful
piece of mechanism known, since he has
shown that its energy is equal to one
third of the total daily force of all the
muscles of a strong man; that it ex-
ceeds by one-third the labor of the mus
cles in boat-race, estimated by equal
weights of muscle; that it is equivalent
to twenty times the force used in
climbing vertically; and, finally, that it
has eight times the force of the most
powerful engine invented by the art of
man

I cover them often from mortal sight, And hold in my bosom their silvery light; And the moon enfolds me in soft embrace, |, And smiles upon me with tender face. The sun climbing high in the rosy morn My wilderness 'tints with the colors of dawn, And around me sheds through the long, long The glory and light of his shining ray; And the lark springs forth in the morning

 And sings to me songs for the dawning meet; While he plunges deep.i in my snowy wave, The stains of eaI tn from his pinions to lave.

 Then again hold in my bosom white The deep shining stars with their silvery light

NEWSPAPER MEN.-There is no class of people who do half so much good, or work so hard, as newspaper men. They publish good papers, and they strain every nerve to do this, but the populace do not consider this, or the fact that news papers are 8 fair index of their own in telligence and enterprise. Some papers put up with all sorts of expedients to get along, when there are scores of infuen- tial men who are greatly benefited by the papers who do nothing to sustain them. They might speak good word for them, get their friends to subscribe for them, sustain them with their adver- tising patronage, and thus remunerate the hard-workine newspaper men. Every citizen ought to be animated by sufficient pride, if by no other motive, to sustain good papers, and thus see them worthy representatives of the people.

A SINGULAR CAsE.-A most singular occurrence recently occurred in Lawrence, Mass, at grave. The deceased had for some time previous to his death kept a dog, who had been his constant compan- ion, and even in death the faithful ani- nal would not leave the side of the re- mains of his master for scarcely 8 mo- ment. When the family left the house to go to the cemetery, the dog was shut up; but before the procession had reach ed the cemetery he made his escape and ran about, looking eagerly for his mas. ter. He was very much bewildered, and was finally taken into the carriage with his mistress. Arriving at the grave the poor brute crowded to the side of the grave and looked wistfully and mournful- ly at the casket as it was being lowered into the grave, and was about to Jump in himself, when he was caught and held by bystander. The scene was very touching.

ADvERr1sNa.-Advertising is an art, and is the mother of the art of money making. Successful advertisers unhesi- tatingly and gratefully declare that they owe the beginning of their prosperity and the foundation of their wealth to the liberal and judicious use of printers ink. It is paradoxical, but not singular, that printers ink, by blackening mans reputation, actually benefits him. The ingenuity displayed by some accomplish ed advertisers makes advertising almost a fine art. These shrewd men manage to make the most unwilling tread their announcements.

THE NEWSPAPER NECESSITY. rY.-The Cincinnati Commercial, describing 8 re- cent visit to Chicago, dwells upon the wonderful display of newspaper vitality as one of the notable signs of the time. Political and personal antagonisms have been sunk in efforts for the common good rival sheets are printed amicably in the same office and on the same press; the old spitefulness and abuse have been put aside; the business men are pouring in their advertisements by the hundred, and the improvised accommodations are inadequate to supply the demand. In short, the Chicago daiies are revived with the best promise, and their profits are so large that great part of their heavy losses will be made up in 8 year or two. The newspaper has become a necessity in every civilized community, and neither fire nor tempest can repress the energy which it represents.

From the New York Herald.I


Why cannot the disabilities Of the
Southerners be removed and kindly
hand extended to them? Surely il Is
time to bury the sad memories OF the
war and to restore the South. Surely
there should be some consideration for
and some abatement Of severity to the
people Of our own race and blood.
Every right thinking Northerner must
regret to see the intelligent people of his
own race in the South placed under the
heel Of ignorant and semi-barbarous ne
groes. We do not think General Grant
and the Radical party can make any
thing politically by their policy of re-
preston and by attempting to make the
negro rule the white man. If a broad
and liberal policy be inaugurated we
shall hear no more of KU-Klux, Federal
bayonets may be withdrawn, the civil
law will be found sufficient enough, and
the South will rise from the disasters OF
the war to degree of prosperity ii
never attained before.

There is very good story of the
origin of the custom of charging for
the insertion OF marriage announce
ments. Al first these were published
freely, as they still are by many
provincial papers. But in the early
davs of the times it was the custom
in announcing marriage to state the
amount Of the brides dowry-t2O-
600 or G3O .OG0, whatever it might
happen to be. and in looking through
the ladies column one morning at
breakfast, Mr. Walter threw out the
suggestion that if "A man married all
that money he might certainly pay a
tritiing per centage upon it to the
printer for acquainting the world
with the fact. These marriage fees
would form a nice little pocket
money for me, my dear" added Mrs.
Walter, and AS a joke her husband
agreed to try the experiment. The
charge at first was but tritie, and
the annual amount probably not
much; but Mrs. Walter, at her death,
passed this prescriptive right of hers
to her daughter, and when a few
years ago the right was re-purchased
by the present proprietor 1t was as
sessed at a 900 or 80, 600 year.

what We have done to deserve 1t.
We are not aware that the race has

of smashing them. 1t would have
been Just as easy to kill all these
persons in infancy by some decent
disorder of the bowels. A dead baby
is not in any sense an object of legit-
innate complaint but a toasted,
mangled, starved or fevered adult
will always command certain sym

the charge of persecution. For these
and other reasons we wish Provl-

remember that prevention is better
than cure, and instead of inaugurat-
ing such sweeping reforms as famine
and fire, content Himself with the
more conservative and agreeable

Two cioantic yiccs--lntemperance and Gam
h1;rc--ore daily sending scores of fresh victims
down the road to ruin. intemperance seems
the moro prevalent because the less secret.
ThisJwe apprehend is the States doing. She
licenses Tipping; she forbids Gambling.
Hence, the stranger in our streets is from every
side confronted by public grog-shOps, while
the adjacent farO-banks and r0ulette-tables
are thiniy screened from the general gaze.
No one who seeks can fail of finding them but
they never thrust themselves upon his attention
as he heedlesSly saunters along Broadway. If
he enters one, he must have sought it out and
there is strong presumption that he entered
to play.


The law of our State says, "Thou shalt not
"game!" it does not say "Thou shalt neither
"sell, buy nor imbibc, Intoxicating Liquorsw
1t clearly indicates that yOu may, under GER
tain prescribed conditions.


Yet, when Gambling is exposed and assailed,
certain organs of Sham Democracy demur
that the repression Of mere Vice (Which this
is assumed to be) is not among the legitimate
functions of government. That plea may or
may not be valid in debating society or coterie
of speculative philosophers; it has no peril
ncnce elsewhere. The law which we had no
voice in making-which was not made by
" fanatics" nor by isionaries'-which is not
of to-day, but was the law before any of us
were born-forbids Gambling, and charges our
Police and Judiciary with the duty of sup
pressing and furnishing it-a duty which they
habitually and Systematically fail to discharge.
Why are these criminals thus screened from
punishment


Because they are rich, and capable, and for


milable, and efficient They poll strong


vote-solidly DcmOcratic-they are skillful,


efficient repcaters-and they contribute large


sums to the Democratic treasury. In every
! important election, they are heavily assessed
/ TO fill that treasury; and the consideration Is
| impuniiy in their career OF profitable crime.
This condition may not always be expressly
| stipulated but it is always understood.
! Our legal machinery for the repression of
| crime IS formidable expensive, and ought to
be efficient. Recent occurrences prove that


only fidelity is required to render it thoroughly
so.


We decline, therefore to chop logic with
those who plead the unftnes5 or inapdtude of
the State to deal with what they term "sin."
That is wholly irrelevant. The Police and
the Magistracy can suppress Gambling If they
will the law requires them to do it; they are
well paid for undertaking to do it; and recent
occurrences have shOwn that they easily may
do it if they have tho will. Gentlemen, we
urge, either earn your several cOmPensations
or resign your placc3l You have no moral
right to receive the pay yet shirl the duties.
Either obey and enforce the laws or resign
your Offices. If enforcing the laws would
impel a reaction, that is no affair of yours.
Your path is plain its requirements are I'M
perative. Either obey or resign!

The Chicago Tribune has constantly assumed
that the consumers of Salt in this country are
paying enormous prices therefor because of
our high duty on imported Salt Of" writes
them that Salt has sold lOwer in Chicago in
1870 than it did under q low duty in 1860

The fact that Salt sold lower in Chicago in 1870 than
it did in 1860 has bearing the question long the
fact remains that so per cent Of the price OF Salt in
Chicago in 1870 either the duty imposed by law
the bounty given to protect else"

high duty on Salt enhance the cost of that
article to consumersf If so, to whdt consum-
ersf and to what extent F. cites the fact
that Salt has become cheaper in Chicago under
Protection than it was under comparative Free
Trade to prove that Protection has not en-
HANGED the cost of Salt at Chicago. Is not
that in point Yet The Chicago Tribune says
it has no bearing on the question: so long
as a fact that isn't fact remains Is that
response impeled by insanity or dishonesty
