How MEAT IS MADE UNwHoLEsoME. A statement has been made to the New York Board of Health in reference to practice which isnot only shocking, but also notorious
 that of bringing calves and sheep to market with their feet tied and loaded upon carts and wagons in such a manner that they become fearfully swollen and shamefully mutilated after which treatment they are slaughtered and offered for sale. He says that by this means the flesh becomes infamed and unwholesomc, and we doubt not the community fully agree with him. The same writer complains, also, of tho habit of s'blowing neat" He charges butchers with s-inserting D tube into the fatty parts of slaughtered animals and blowing them out full, often with the foetin breath of men who are ilnpregnated with whiskey and tobacco, 50 that the meat is contaminated and rendered unhealthy. He further says that such meat in warm weather is more readily tainted, and offers that fact in evidence of it's unwholesomeness He preys the Board, fiji has the power, toremedy the evils of which he

exist long It is simply an exception to the general proposition, that the credit system is practically social evil, and should be dispensed with as soon as practi- cable. Suppose that the people of Arkan- sas should after the present year, adopt the cash system, and rigidly adhere to it for five years? Who cannot anticipate state of things such as has never been witnessed in this country? We would then have prosperity upon a solid basis, such as would stand the fluctuations and crashes, so common among people accustomed to the credit system. One-of the heaviest burdens the South now bears, is the old debts created before, and about the com menoement of the war How much better would it be for us now, had we proceeded upon the cash system before the war.

A SEVERE REPORT The National Intelligencer thus replies to a recent charge made by John ". Forney, of tho Washington Chronicle:
 Had we petition for the pardon of John c. Breckihridge in our office, as inti- mated in an article published in the Chronicle yesterday, we should certainly lose no time in waiting upon the editor of that paper to solicit the weight of his mighty name in his behalf We can hardly be induced to believe-notwith- standing the past history of the editor of the Chronicle proves his forte to be the betrayal of his friends-that he would in this instance, be guilty of the blaekest in refusing to sign petition for one whose aid he implored, and who was instrumental in elevating this rete- ran politician to thasH bad eminence he has attained as Secretary of the Senate of the United States.

THE PVISE.

The action of the pulse will no doubt be of much interest to our readers It prob ably is not known to many that the pulse of female exceeds in frequency that of a male from ten to fourteen beats per min ute.
 Many circumstances influence it's ac- ton, such as muscular exertion, mental excitement, the state of the digestive or gans, and the position of the body, wheth- CT lying, sitting or standing. Muscular action and mental excitement, as also the process of digestion, naturally increase it, it being much quicker during the process of digestion than when digestion is not taking place.
 In healthy males, from 25 to 30 years of age, thc average of the pulse per minute, in a standing position, it is from 79 to S1; sitting, from 70 to 91, and lying down, from 66 to 67-making difference of from nine to ten beats between standing and sitting, from four to five between sit ting and lying and from thirteen to four teen beats between standing and lying. In healthy females, of the same age, 1t will be found to be from S2 to 91, standing, 81 to 82 sitting, and 80 to 81 lying. This variation in the different positions is pro duced by the muscular action induced by the change of position
 At the different periods of the day the pulse varies, as, for instance, in a healthy l person it is most frequent in the morning, and gradually decreases toward evening. After excitement, the diminution is great CT and more regular in the evening than in the morning. Food has the same effect on it as these periods, for, in many in- i stances, the same food that will increase its amount and duration in the morning, will, in the evening, have no effect whatever During the hours of sleep there is a great CT diminution.
 The following table will show it's varia- lions at different periods of life, being greater in childhood than in old age, ant gradually diminishing as we grow older ' .-

The Poor Law Commissions ]" of England, Ireland and Scotland entail an expense of e242, 900; and the ''Secret Service demands e82,000. Printing and stationery cost e357 900, and the postage of letters on the public service in the de- partments is 9138,000 Education costs GT,300, GOO, and the number of scholars is estimated at a million. The colonial rulers receive e100,000, and nearly a50,000 go for the support and conveyance Of captured negroes and liberated Africans,. and tho salaries of the Mixed Commission estab lished under treaties with foreign powers for suppressing the traffic in slaves, besidei the expense incurred in maintaining ship for this purpose.
 The army consists of 138,l1S men Q all ranks, divided as follows Regiments 128,2l2 depots in the United Kingdom of regiments in India, s,983; genera staff, 93 establishments, 548; education al establishments, 281.

Both the aggregate of naval vessels and of commissioned ships is less than those of last year.
 The British navy costs more than the American, according to the respective esti- mates for the year 18667. The former is kept up at q cost of s50, ,o00, 900; the lat ter for s43,000,000- The cost of the British navy is about double that of our present establishment, the figures being as follows: British, s70,000,Oo0; American, s39, 900, ,000.-[ New York Evening Post.

H0ME WITHOUT X MOTHER.

What is home without mother--
 What are all the ejoys we meet, When her loving smiles no longer
 Greet the coming of our feet The days seem long, the nights are dreary And time rolls slowly on And 0, how few are childhood's pleasures When her gentle cares are gone. Things we prize are first to vanish Hearts we love to pass away, And how soon e'en in our childhood
 We behold her turning grey Her eyes grow dim, her steps are slower, Her joys of earth are passed, And sometimes ere we learn to know her, She has breathed on earth her last. Older hearts may have their sorrows- Grief that quickly dies away, But a mother lost in childhood
 Grieves the heart from day to day, We miss Der kind. her willing hand, Her fond anu earliest care, And O! how dark is life around lis-- What is home without her there

Horrible Parricide.

a day or two since we had the brief
