from various Judges in Southern Ken

The Human Pulse.

The human pulse has in all ages been
consulted us an index of health or dis
ease. Ii il kind of dial within us that
gives Us both the measure of time and
of health. The pulse of person in
health beats about seventy strokes in Il
minute, and the Ordinay term of life is
about seventy years. In this seventy
wears, the pulse of Il temperate person
beats two billion, five hundred and sew
ty-iour million, four hundred and forty
thousand times. If no actual disorgin-
alton should happen, drunken person
might live until his pulse beats this
number of times; but by the constant
stimulus of ardent spirits, or by pulse
quickening food, the pulse becomes
greatly accelerated, and the two billion,
five hundred and forty thousand pulsa-
tions, ARE performed i'm little more than
half the ordinary term of human life,
and life goes out in forty or forty-tive
wears instead of seventy. This appllca-
ton OF numbers Is given to show that
the acceleratiOn of those forces diminish
e. the term of human life.

The Tobacco Market.

While everything else seems to have
been rapidly advancing, tobacco has
been declining in prices. We do not
exactly understand the cause of this
difference.
The statement has been made that
the total yield for this year is larger
than il has been for years. We are in
doubt upon that point. But, however
that may be, il is certain that our farm
ers are expecting higher prices for their
present crop than they are likely Ia re-
ceivc. II will be difficult year for
buyers, ON account Of the general inn
preston that tobacco will bc in demand.
There seems to bc no doubt that there is
a ring among shippers and large buyers
To endeavor Ia control the markets at
home. We think this will he a good
