MISCELLANY

THE PULSE MANY erroneous impressions
prevail about the pulse as indicative Of health
or disease, common notion being that it,
beatings are much more uniform than the,
really are. Frequency varies with age. In
the new-b born infant The beatinRs are from 100
10 40 per minute in the second year, from
100 to IFS from the seventh TO the fourteenth
year, from 80 to 90 from the fourteenth to
the twenty-first year. from u to IS from tbs
twepty-irst to the sixtieth year, from 10 to
rs. After that period the palse he generally
thought to decline, but medical authorities
differ radically on this point, having expressed
the most contradictory opinion. Young per-
sops are offer found whose pulses are below
go. aud there have been many instances Of
pulses habituaIly reached 100, or not exceed
ing so without apparent disease. Sex, espe-
cially 10 aaults, influences the pulse, and ir
women it beats more rapidly than in men,
Muscular exertion, even position, materially
Affects the pulse. Its average frequency II
healthy men is, when standing 81 when sit
ting, II /; when lying, SO per minute in wo-
men of the same age and in the same posi-
tions, Of, "a and 10. In sleep the pulse h
considerably slower than In wakefulness. In
certain diseases, such as acute dropsy, fol-
example, there may be 100 or even 200 beats !;
in other diseases, such as apoplexy and some
organic affections of the heart, there may b.
no more than 20 or 80 beats per minute Thur
one OF the commonest diagnostic signs Is liable
to deceive the most experienced practitioner

World, is preparing for publication after
the election list Of the corporations
throughout the country which have given
their employees notice Of discharge unless
they vote the Republican ticket. We
wish It had been possible for that enter.
prising journal TO have prepared such
list even in the States which have had
their fall elections, before the November
election. 1t would have been an exhibit Of
bulldosing that would have appalled, the
American people and aroused them from
. lethargy that threatens the right of saf.
frage of the entire working class, which,
unless sternly and promptly resisted at
the ballot-box, will reduce shem to mere
serfs Of the money centres of the nation.
We have seen the alarming effects of
bulldozing in this State to . great extent.
bnt which js mere ha0afella in ee,...,.-:
son with the tyranny exercised over the
working classes in the recent elections In
Ohio, and especially in Indiana, by the
manufacturing interest in that State,
which exerted all its power and influence
to deter their workmen from voting the
Democratic ticket. 1t is stated upon
creditable authority that more than ten
thousand laboring men, whose families
were dependent upon them for support,
were compelled by the corporations of
that State to vote the Republican ticket
or lose their places. How long will the
intelligent voters of this country stand
such a shameless Infringement of their
dearest and most sacred rights without
revolution +?

Charleston News and C0urier.1 ya@ty +&-&T
The news from Ohio and Indliana is q
disappointment. The loss of Maine had
stimulated the Republicans to the most
desperate endeavors to save the October
States, and the vast means and tfficialin-
fuence at their command, supplemented
by every shameless expedient known to
the unscrupulous politician. have enabled
them to carry their point. Happily the
Democracy is not unused to revGrses,ahd
the defeat of Tuesday will spur The party
to redoubled efforts during the next three
weeks in every. State in the. .Uaion. In
the new phase which the Presidential
struggle has now assumed, we cannot af-
ford to take. any risks. Hancock will be
likely to peed every electoral vote that
the Southern States can give him. But
even if Ohio and Indiana should vote ii
November as they have voted id October,
there are other Northern States which
may have as unpleasant a surprise in store
for the Republicans as Maine gave them
last month. Senator Conkling has told
us only within the last week-that the re-
suit in Ohio and aIndisna, whatever it
might be. would not be decisive 5efIthe
November contest, that New YoFk1re
mains thePiyotal State, and thai the party
that carries New York will elect the Psss
ideat. We gre seldom epoughs in accord
with the magnificent Senator, hat in this
case we are willing to accept him as a
prophet. AanaA

"Professor" E. B. Olmstead, who q
year or so back was a quondam school
teacher in this county, and who, during
the campaign of 1878, took every occasion
offered to appear upon the stump and
make Democratic speeches, but who, every
now and then, was caught whispering
words of Republican sympathy to the ne
groes and poor "white trash" of the
Radical party, has been for some time in
Ohio busily engaged in making Republi-
can speeches, and otherwise assisting in
the Garfield ranks. He has recently writ
ten letter to the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader,
which is made up of lies and abuse of the
Southern people, and represents them as
an illiterate and ignorant people, with no
means of obtaining information except by
reading country Democratic newspapers.
We do not care to notice this lunatic,
but will say that his reputation while here
was none of the best; he was considered
q noted liar and "beat," and if he. did
not steal it was because he found no good
opportunity. He went to Columbus, Ga,
while on bis wedding tour, and, represent
ing himself as minister of the gospel, .
large planter, and friend of the editor of
this paper, succeeded in borrowing hum
.dred dollars from our friends, Slade &
Etheredge; and it was only by our threat
ening him with criminal prosecution
that the money was ever returned, and it
was at last paid by Prof. Moody.
Such scamp deserves hanging, and it
is hoped that some day he viii receive his
just deserts. We have not space or.wouA
publish his letter that our readers might
see the low meanness of the man towards
those who helped him when be came among
us, in the dead of winter. wearing q light
straw hat, and too poor to buy any other.
For the present we will make no further
mention of this rascally tramp.

the writer details the committees & plan"
for securing the success of the Copoyer

colored vote must be held solid at all
hazards. To accomplish this'it will lie nec-
essary to keep them aloof from Demo
cratic gatherings; have them thoroughly
organized into clubs; keep them con-
stantly reminded of old slavery days, of

the Republican party. Theveolprsd lead
ers in the ".blsck belt = must draw the
color line and hold their race up tc it, but
great caution must be exercisedin this.
End. We must poll 1, 900 tsckay votes"

means by which tho !" tackles nieAhing
the poorer whites in the country districts,
are to be won over by the free nss pof
small quantities Of money. 1.-THE letter
is genuine, and the Bsustia's cofrespon-

it displays the real course alreadyaAdopted
so far as the, colored people are coiloerned,

be adopted for the purpose of earturipgs

Orlando Reporter, October lo.l # 9a
There is one fact as clear as sunlight, and
that is that the solid South gains no Immigrants
to speak of while it offers special advantages,
naturally, to all. There must be some reason
tor this fact, and where can it be found f-Sun
and Press. H tfa lHfEHf
That is not a difficult conundrum to
answer; but the San and Press man must
have the concentrated cheek of brigade
of lightning rod peddlers to PROFOUND
such question in view of his experience
and the facts at his disposal. When the
National Republican Executive Commit
tee send men through the solid North to
brazenly proclaim that condition of an
archy and terrorism exists in the solid
South, and representing her people to be
a band of mnrderers, house-burners, out
throats and desperadoes, who drink whis-
key by day and kill defenceless Republi.
cans, or anybody else who may have
incurred their ill-will, by night, it is not
strange that people who believe these
things should stay away. Can people be
expected to come to the Southern States
when political blatherskites like fParsol
Billy Hicks go from their Southern homes,
under the pay Of the Republican Exeea-
tive Committee, and tell Northern people
that seventy of their friends and neigh
bors in one community, or one county, OF
one State, have been murdered on account
of their political opinions The editor
of the San d Press accompanied Hicks On
his electioneering tour in Maine, and had
ample opportunity to know how the Rev
erend gentleman villifed and misreprs-
ssnted the State Of Florida, and becoming
modssty should At least have prompsed
silence, h. he would not deny the state
