cure such recognition have been
made on perhaps more than one
occasion, but they failed; though
how far they fell short of success
has never been known to the pub
lie. Jerome himself, who died at
a venerable old age year or too
ago, bitterly opposed all such eff
forts to obtain precedence for the
Baltimore Bonapartes, and would
acknowledge them only by the
name ofPatterson.
The scrimmage now going on in
Paris is peculiar. The American
Bonapartes are Republicans and
so are the agitators in the Corps
Legislatiff. 1t may afford some of
them an opportunity, and a Pat
terson may yet occupy the Tuile-
rieS as Prince President just as
Louis, a Beauharnais, occupied
the Palace in 1S49. At all events
the story is worth retelling as
more or less apropos oftranspiring
events in France to which the
Bonapartes, their past, present
and future, bear such close rela-
tion. Jerome Bonaparte acted
badly enough to Miss Patterson.
Nor has his family done much
better. 1t would be a piece of pO-
etic justice if Time should balance
the account Louisville Courier

ThePulse.

The pulse of healthy grown
person beats seventy times in a
minute; there may be good health
down to sixty; but if the pulse al
ways exceeds seventy, there is a
disease-the machine is working
too fast; it is wearing itself out;
there is fever or Inflammation
somewhere, and the body is feed
ing on itself, as in consumption,
where the pulse is always quick,
that is over seventy, gradually in
creasing with decreased chances
of cure, until it reaches one hun
dred and ten or one hundred and
twenty, when death comes before
many days. When the pulse is
over seventy for months, and if
there is even slight cough, the
lungs are affected. Every intelli-
gent person owes it to himself to
learn from his family physician
how to ascertain the pulse in
health; then, by comparing it with
what it is when ailing, he may
have some idea of the urgency of
his case, and it will be an impOr-
tant guide to the physician. Par
ents ought to know the health
pulse of each child; as now and
then, a person is born with a Pc
culiarly slow pulse, and the very
case in hand may be that peculiar
ity. An infants pulse is one hun
dred and forty; q child of seven
years about eighty; from twenty
to sixty years it is seventy beats
a minute, declining to sixty at
fourscOre. There are pulses all
ever the body, but where there
are only skin and bone, as at the
temples, it is most easily felt. The
wrist is the most convenient point.
The feebleness or strength of the
beats is not material, being modi-
fed by the fingers pressure. Com
paratively, rapidity is the great
point; near death is one hundred
and forty and over. A healthy
pulse imparts to the finger a feel
ing as of a wooling string; ia fever
it feels harder, like silk thread;
if there is Inflammation, which is
always dangerous, it beats fast,
spiteful and hard, as If fine wire
was throbbing against the finger.
When the pulse beats irregularly,
as if it lost a beat, then hurried to
make it up, there is something the
matter with the heart. But, how
ever unnatural you may think the
the pulse is, do not worry about
it; take nothing, do nothing, ex-
cept by the advice of an intelli-
gent physician.-[ Exchange.
