Canine Sagacity.

/ bring his terrier with him TO London for

way to that particular part OF the country
| the dog travelled with the servants in a
post carriage, and on his arrival at the
| town house was brought out TO the stable,
| where n large Newfoundland dog was kept
as a Watchdog This latter individual
looked with anything but pleasure on the

! try; and, consequently, the Scotch terrier
had not been very long in his new home

The Pulse.

Every person should know how to as
certain the state OF pulse in health; then
by comparing it with what It is when he is
ailing, he may have some idea OF the VI
gency of his case. Patients should know
the healthy pulse of each child, as now
and then person is born with particu-
larly slow or fast pulse, and the very case
in hand may be of that particularly. An
infants pulse is l40; a child of seven,
about 50; and from twenty to sixty is 20
beats minute, declining to 60 at forescore.
A healthfnl grown persons beats 20 times
in minute; there may be good health 60,
but If the pulse always exceeds 20 there is
a disease, the machine working Itself out :;
there is fever or inflammation some
where, and the body is feeding on itself,
as in consumption, when the pulse is quick
that is, over 20, gradually increasing.
chances of cure, until it reaches 1IG or I20,
when death comes before many days
When the pulse is over 20 for months and
there is slight cough, the lungs are al
lected. The pulse decreases when a re-
cumbent position Is resumed

The Republican Feeling.

IL we were to describe the present tenn
per of the Republican press of the country
in few words, we should say it was one
of entire confidence in the patriotic pur-
poses of President Hayes, of some doubt
rs to the ultimate result of his Southern
policy, aud OF general willingness to give
it Il fair and thorough trial. 1t is impOSsi-
BILE not to have confidence in the motives
and purposes of the President. Every
thing in his life and character compels this,
from his earliest appearance before the
public to his letter OF acceptance, his in
augural message and his most recent acts.
There can be no doubt that he earnestly
desires the pacidcation of the South, the
restoration OF good feeling and prosperity,
and the establishment of equal rights in all
parts of the country. Neither can there
be any doubt that he believes he is pursu-
ing the right course TO this end, and that
in the long run his policy will rebound to
the glory and welfare OF the nation. To
question this would be to question the
Presidents patriotism, integrity or insn-
cerity; and no man does that. But while
concedng an this, it does not necessarily
follow that all Republicans must see the
situation precisely rs the President does,
or that all must think alike as to the WIS
dom or results Of his policy. 1t argues no
dl>respect to the President that many Re
pubucauS should have doubts and misgiv-
uG~ en- this point. Tor in a matter involving
so important change Of policy, and where
50 much il yet undeycopcd. it would be
strange Ii all men thought alike, or if all
Republicans could bring themselves to give
lu equally hearty Endorsement to the new
policy, great u- their confidence in the
President may be-. AMI their desire that he
may succeed in hj, main purpose. In oth-

From the Galveston TEX News
Fort Concho is situated on the BROW
of a plateau, just above the junction of
North Concho rivers The post com
mands an extensive view of the cOun-
try, and at o distance It presents the
appearance of miniature city. With
In q few hundred yards of the post, on
the opposite side of the North CoiiCho,
is the village Of San Angela hBesides
the trade from the post, much of which
Is done by the merchants of San An
gela, here is the headquarters for the
army of buffalo hunters during the
winter months, and acres Of ground
are covered, even up to this time, with
buffalo hides, some in piles like large
haystacks, while great numbers are
spread out to dry, preparatory to being
shipped to San AntOnia. It Is esti-
mated that over one thousand men
were engaged last winter In killing
buffalo for their hides in Tom Green
county alone, and. that at least 80, 900
hides have been brought into San An
gela during that time. 1t is also be-
lieved that 150, 900 buffalo hides have
been shipped during the. winter and
spring from Fort. Griffin. Two hun
dred thousand is probably an under
estimate of the number Of buffalo de-
stroyed annually in Texas, only for
