The Result in Pulaski.

So much of the election returns Of Pulaski County as the thieves who broke into the clerks vault the other night saw prNer to leave there, were formally counted yesterday by the regularly organ ized board of canyassars By unanimous vote of the board, after exhaustive argument by able attorneys, it was determined that the duties. of the board were merely minis- terial and in no wise judicial, and that it could only count the vote formally de- posited with the clerk aud still remain ing in his possession The duplicate re- turns from the nine townships despoiled by violence of their formal vote were therefore rejected and only the remain ing fourteen townships counted.
 Whether the board was correct or not ln this ruling, it Is not worth while for the Gazete to argue here. The case will go at once to the courts and will there be fairly adiudicated. That nine of the pre- c.ncts of this county, however, have been absolutely disfranchised is an in- disputable result of this matter; and that majority, certain- ly, and perhaps every one, of those ln whose favor this spoliation of the re- turns has redounded, did not receive the voluntary suffrage of majority Of tho voters of Pulaski County, k another. The fact that these men are Democrats, thoroughly capable and eminently deserv. Ing, does not pallate the offense in the least. Their election was greatly to be de- sired; but not through violence, nor at the expense of the city and county ard the good name of the Democratic party. -LtHie Rock Gdgctte.

The primary idea of whistle lies in
the making of n column Of air TO vibrate,
In whatever condition. As there is no
lack of means or methods for doing this,
the infinite diversity of the forms of the
apparatus for producing the vibrations
and the resultant sounds is matter of
course. The most general form is the
human whistle, which one can make
sound-after a fashion-without much
preliminary training; but many musicians
have made themselves masters of its in.
donations to such a degree that, instead
of the usual infarmonious and unmethod-
ical discords, they can render with IL the
most difficult passages of elaborate mu-
steal notes. | shall not dwell upon the
means that may be employed 10 make the
sounds sharper and TO modulatc their
tones. Every one knows what effects are
produced by inserting the fore and second
fingers so as to turn the tongue slightly
back as the column Of air passes over it,
or by sending the blast over the outside
of the bent fingers.
