between an organized gang OF horse
thieves and the farmers, organized "a

change that the thieving had been
going on so long that no property
was secure and law was set AT defiance.
So in May eighty-three farmers met
AT midnight and took an oath to ex-
terminate the thieves. The next
theft was of three hlooded colts, from
farmer named Stamper. For this
Alexander pendlynn was shot by the
regulators while sitting on his porch,
George Underwood, son of the chief OF

.,ssA Girl in Boys Clothing.

A small, stout girl, apparently about
IA years old, was brought to the Third
District Station House last evening in
male attire. She gave her name as Sal
lie Robinson, of Seaville, Cape May
County, New Jersey. On being ques-
toned she stated that she came here for
work some weeks ago, and not meeting
with success, determined to try the ex.
pertinent of dressing in boys clothes in
order to improve her chances. She then
obtained employment at an eating-stand
in Second Street Market, receiving in
return three meals daily, and lodging
with a friend near Fifth and Noble
Streets. She quarreled with the latter,
however, and then got permission to
sleep in the market under the protec-
ton of the Waterman. No one suspect
ed or knew of her ruse except two boys
who were acquainted with her before
she took the notion to try it. She is
perfectly satisfied with her circum-
stances, and answered the questions ask
ed her in hearty, jovial manner. She
is a good-looking girl with fair COM
plexion and light hair. Magistrate List
will deliberate tomorrow as to the
proper course to take in the case.-Phil-
adelphia Times.

That Mule.

Probably one of the greatest problems
of the age is the mule. Although vol
umes have been written on the mule yet
the accident statistics show that he is as
little understood as ever. How to mix
kindness and firmness in the proper
proportions and then apply the con-
coction successfully to an energetic mule
is one of "those things no fellow can
find out" The mule is deceitful and
desperately wicked. Itknows no north,
no south, no west, no east, in the rigid
impartiality with which it bestows its
favors. In trying to solve the mule
problem many very wise men have been
baffied, and likewise knocked into de-
moralized heap in the opposite corner
of the stable from which the mule stood.
And yet how strange it is that after all
these years of Intellectual research the
true solution of this vexed question
should be discovered by a small boy.
This little fellow lives in Rich
mond, Virginia, and while play
ing near q mule was, by means of that
animals method ofrapid transit, suddenly
landed in a neighboring field. When
he recovered from the emotion caused
by so unexpected an event, he managed
to insinuate himself into the mules af-
fections, taking care, however, always
to keep at the correct end of the mule.
Finally the innocent and unsuspicious
quadruped was firmly tied to tree, un-
der whose shades were several hives of
bees. The mule brought disaster upon
himself by kicking over hive just by
way of recreation. The combat that en-
sued was dreadful to behold. The boy
is not quite certain whether the bees or
the mule won the victory. He thinks
that it was the mule, because when the
owner came after the body there was
not vestige of the hives to be seen, and
the bees had all disappeared, while the
remains of the mule still occupied the
ttle-field.-DetroI FreeP Press.

York State in the last century, was APP
pointed Superintendent of Indian AZ
fairs, he sent to England for some rich
" laced clothes, which were extremely
admired by an Indian chief, who, how
ever, made no observation about them
at the time, but in . few days impaired
to Sir William that he dreamed that the
baronet had presented to him one of
the suits which had come over the great
water. Sir William took the hint, and
the chief was in ecstasies. Not long af-
ter Sir William, finding himself in the
chiefs company, mentioned that he, too,
had dreamed, and ON being pressed,
said that it was to the effect that the
chief had given him q certain piece of
land, about 1000 acres. The chief gave
him the land, which afterward went by
the name of "Sir Williams Dreaming
Land" with the remark, SNOW, Sir
William, will never dream with you
again; you dream too hard for me-"
A CORRESPONDENT writes pleasantly
of a Utopian community charmingly
located near Santa Rosa, Cal. Some
thing less than three years ago they
came from their original location,
Salem-on-Erie, and permanently locat-
ed in California. Mr.. T. L. Harris and
his wife are the joint head of the COM
munity, and their rule is the absolute
one Of perfect love and confidence
among their people, who hold them, the
"primate pair" as they are called, to
be first of the new order which is to OBJ
tain throughout the world. In religious
belief the community of Fountain Grove
is more strictly and literally Christian
than any other sect, believing fully in
the divinity of Jesus and following alb
solutely, in their lives, his mode of liv-
ing when in earth-life. Their form of
worship is, am told, very beautiful.
Mr.. O1iphant, son of the novelist, is a
member of the community.

The Pulse.

Every one knows that among the
numerous inquiries and examinations
which precede the prescription of a
careful physician, the state of the pulse
is never omitted; yet as it is probable
that few of our readers are acquainted
with the reusons for this inquiry, or,
what is the same thing with the facts to
be learned from it, we think it may not
be uninteresting if we enumerate some
of the more important ones.
1t is also necessary to premise that by
the pulse is meant the beat of an artery,
ant the one commonly chosen for the
examination is the radial artery, which
beats at the wrist. The first point gen.
orally attended to is the number of
beats; and since in all other medical
questions it is necessary to be acquaint-
ed with the state of the health in order
to recognize any deviation from it, we
must mention the ordinary frequency of
the pulse at different ages. In the new
born infant it is from 100 to 40 per
minute; but decreases in frequency as
life advances; so that in the middle
aged adult in perfect health, it is from
Y to Is. In the decline of life it is
slower than this, and falls to about 60.
1t is obvious that if we could suppose
a practitioner ignorant of these plain
facts he would be liable to make the
most absurd blunders, and might imag-
inc a boy of ten to be laboring under
some grievous disease because his pulse
had not the slow sobriety of his grand
fathers. The quickness of the pulse
affords most important information.
If in a person, for example,
whose pulse is usually ~, the
beats rise in number to SO, some alarm
ing disease is certainly present; or, on
the other hand, should it have perma-
nently sunk to so, it is but too probable
that source of circulation, the heart
itself, is laboring under incdrable dis
ease, or that some other of the great
springs of life is irredeemably injured.
Surprising, again, the pulse to he seven
ty-two, each beat ought to occur at an
interval of five-sixths of a second; but
should any deviation from this rhythm
be perceived, the pulse is then said to
be irregular. The varieties of irregu-
larities are iuinite; but there is one so
remarkable as to deserve particular
mention. It will happen sometimes
that the interval between two beats is SO
much longer than was expected, that it
would seem that one beat bad been
omitted; in this case the pulse is said to
be an intermittent one. When the ac-
ton of the heart is irregular, the beat
of the pulse is so likewise; but it will &C.
casionally happen that the latter irreg-
ularity takes place without the former
one, from some morbid cause existing
between the heart and the wrist. 1t is
hardly necessary to observe, that, in all
doubtful cases, the physician examines
the pulsation of the heart as well as that
of the wrist.

IL one of the most graceful of trees, and
being an evergreen, "cheats winter Of
its gloom" as Irving expresses it. The
elm, however, is king among trees.
One majestic elm gives moro beauty to
. place than q dozen scrubs of any other
variety. @
We are often asked what style OF
fence is best to put in front of q house.
We have but one answer to this ques-
tion-don't waste your money on front
fences. The farmhouse which once
filed our eye as model, and which was
exhibited to an English nobleman as a
specimen of the homes of Yankee farm
ers, had no front-yard fence, and on the
large open green in front of the house
stood half a dozen majestic elms. We
regret to add that the beauty of this
old place has been much marred of late
by inclosing the front lawn with a
fence.
A word or two to the ladies, who,
however, need little exhortatiOn on the
subject of aesthetic culture, as they gen
orally go as far in this direction as Their
lords will allow. At the farmhouse OF
our mountain friend to which we have
alluded, we were struck with the
contrast between the inside
and outside appearance of the
premises. Outside, rough and rude,
even to the stone steps that led into the
house, which were thrown together Sc
cobblingly that we should take out q
policy in the Accident Insurance Com.
pany if we made daily ingress into that
house. Inside, neat as honey-bomb; floor
carpeted; comfortable covered with
books, photographs, and stereoscopic
views; walls hung with simple but
tasteful engravings-in short, every
thing, the lady of the house included,
gave evidence of culture.
We do not suppose that every farm
er's wife can afford pictures for. her
walls, but every one can gather the
beautiful leaves, which at this season OF
the year are strewn about our fields
thicker than grasshoppers in Nebraska,
and which pressed, dried, and arranged
make an ornament for the wall which
no painter can equal. The ferns also
are as beautiful and graceful as beauty
and grace can make them, and arrang-
ed about the rooms of the house give
the premises look of culture which a
city lady might well envy A few bit
ter-sweet berries scattered among the
ferns add beauty to that which before
was exquisitely beautiful. Wreaths
for the windows, mirrors, and
pictures-if there are any of the
latter-can be made from the ground
pine. The grains and grasses make the
best of bouquets for the fower-pots OF
the farmhouse, as they educate while
they beautify. Let zone pot be filled
with timothy, another with orchard
grass, and so on, and the children
will soon learn the various grasses
of which their fathers are often too
ignorant. Above all, let neatness he
manifest inside and outside of the house.
Miss Sedgwick classes neatness among
the minor morals, but it acts a major
part in contributing to the comfort of
home. Next to charity, the greatest of
all, we rank neatness as the virtue of the
farmers wife.-Alez. Hyde, tin Ne,0 York
Times.
