Jackson, Miss., Sept. 10.?-According to figures just compiled the cost of tho Mathis-Owens-Lester-Jackson inur. der case in Lafayette county lias already reached tho enormous sum of $12,000, and only one of tho four men indicted lias commenced his sentence. Mat bis and Lester, however, are to be banged at Oxford on Sept. 24, and there is every indication that the death sentence will yet be fastened on Owens, the father-in-law of Matthls, over whom a life sentence is now pend. ing, and ono Indictment is yet to be tried. An effort will be made, according to advices Just received, to secure a pardon for William Jackson, who >a now serving a life sentence for complicity in the murder. Jackson is exonerated by the confession of Matthis, in which little reliance is placed, but other evidence has been adducod to show that he did not actually participate in the slaughter of tho Montgomery brothers, and only happened to be at the bouse of Matthis when the deed was committed. Jackson is a criminal of undoubted guilt, and has been indicted for counterfeiting and making moonshine whisky, but many citizens feel that he should not suffer punishment for a crime of which he is not guilty, and if he is released it is believed that it will have some effect in restoring the reason of his wfe, who has been confined in the inwife, who has been confined in the intragedy.

The work of the heart la the clrSolution of the life giving blood throughout the body. With each stroke or beat of the heart it projects something like six ounces of blood into the bodily conduits, throwing it for a distance of nine feet. That it does sixty-nine times a minute, 4,140 times each hour, 09,860 times |n a day, 86?66^0O times in a year and 2,640,887,120 times in a lifetime of seventy years. The blood Is propelled by the heart nine feet each beat, 207 yards each minute, seven miles tffl hour, 169 miles In a day, 01^17 mires In a year and 4,88(0^120 miles in the seventy /ears. The total force exerted 'by the heart every twenty-four hours has been cali culated to be equal to 124 foot tons? , thut Is, if tbe whols fores expended ( by the heart in twenty-four hours were j gathered Into one huge stroke such a j power would lift 124 tons one foot off tho ground.

It has been said of the Jackie sailor boy tlmt he Is so passionately fond of pets lie must have something to love, if it is "only a cockroach in a 'baccy box." This statement was founded on fact, for one of the most remarkable pets of nn English ship was a monstrous cockroach. He was four inches long and one inch broad. One of the sailors - bad tamed him and built for him a cago with a little kennel In the corner of it. This inBoct prodigy learned to recognize his master's voice, and when he heard him call would hurry out from his kennel in response. Among other odd pets that have been beloved by English sailors was a seal, who had a tank residence on board and a dully round of pleasure and duty, his pleasure seven meals a day, his duty a bath after each meal. Another was a deer, who would take a quid of tobacco with so much delight that the fellow feeling aroused by his appreciative taste made him a general favorite. According to Formula. Judge Peunypacker was once asked by his brother Harry during a session of court for the loan of $5. Harry walked to the desk and whispered the request in the judge's ear. The latter, looking down over the top of his glasses without the suggestion of a smile, said loud enough to be heard throughout the room: "Put your application In writing and present it* to the court in a proDer man tier." Mr. Pennypncker, thinking the judge's insistence upon regularity to be merely regard for the dignity of the court, wrote out the request and handed it to tho clerk of the court, who in turn ' passed it to the bench. The judge read it quietly and seriously and then Interrupted the pending trial long enough to say: "Application for a loan of 95 made to this court is received and refused." ?Philadelphia Times.
