Every intelligent person should know how to ascertain the state of the pulse in health; then, by comparing it with what it in when he is ailing, he may have some ides, of the urgency of his case. Parents should know the health pulse of each child--as now and then a per- son is born with a peculiarly slow or fast pulse, and the very case in hand may be of that peculiarity. An infants pulse is 40: child of z, about 80; and from 20 to so years, is 20 beats minute, declining to be- at four-score. A health full grown persons pulse beats 20 times a minute; there may be good health down to go; but if the pulse always ex- ceeds seventy, there is disease; the machine is working itself out, there is q fever of Inflammation somewhere, and the body is feeding on itself; as in con- sumption, when the pulse is quick, that is over 20, gradually increasing, with decreased chances of cure, until it reaches 110 To 120, when death comes before many days. When the pulse is over 20 for mOnths, and there il slight cough, the lungs are affected. There are, however, peculiar constitutions In which the pulse may be over 70 In health. STILL another cheap lace appears as a rival for Breton, and it calls itself Languedoc, b name which will be q worse trial to the statesmen than that which they called Brettoong. The Languedoc has its large figures darned in with cord and shaded with fine thread, and is made on imitation Valen- ciennes and thread grounds in dead white and several shades of cream.

General Garfield s the worst witness that can be summoned to his own ve- racity. In letter to bis political con- lessor, Professor Hinsdale, dated March l9 1873. and published n Bundy's Campaign Life" page 200, Gen. Gar. field wrote OF the salary grab: II have not drawn the additional sal ary. and do not know that I shall Ger tainly ! shall not for the present, and probably not at all. But this will mo-, say in the midst Of this storm" One week alter the date Of this letter, on the 26th Of March, 1S73-as appears from proceedings published at the time in the local newspapers "The Republicans of Gen Garfeld's district assem- lied in convention htWar- rem, Trumbull County. o.. and adopted q resolution asking him TO resign his seat in the House of Representatives. and declaring that by voting for the re- troac:ive salary bill he bad forfeited the confidence of his constituents Nine days later, on the 4th Of April. General Garfield again wrote 10 Hins- dale this letter (Bundy's Campaign Life" page 210): "WAsH1xaToN, April 4, 1873 II agree in all you say on the ques- ton Of back pay; but neither Truth nor ability seemed to avail anything in the face OF this temptation. I not only haze never drasun the ertra pay, but, nearly too ,ceeks ago. ordered the Sergeant. at-Arms to close my account, and direc. ted my back pay due me, $4,000, to be covered into the Treasury beyond my reach, OF that OF my heirs in case of my death. That has been done: but l fell chat under no circumstances would l d low It to be known publicly at least f6f the present. 1t may, however, be nec- essary bv and by to let the fact come out What do you think ?" "Nearly two weeks" before April the 4:h takes Us back to March, 81. This was two days later than the date of bis letter Of March Is, which shows that bis mind was unsettled on the subject "Nearly two weeks ago." counting back from April 4, would bring US to the date OF the warning from his Congressional constituency, given March 26.

Flames on St. Pauls Avenue. Believed to Have Been of ~Incendary Origin. A serious fire occurred just before mid night Tuesday, in which eight horses were burned to death. 1t was discovered in the small stable, No. 33 st. Pauls ave nue., owned and occupied by Henry Croft ford, who has charge of lighting and re- pairing the street oil lamps. An alarm was sent from box No. SO by Charles A. Reinhard, and a speedy re- sponse vas made by the fire department.. The stable was a mass of flames In a few moments and 1t WAS then impossible to rescue the poor horses, and they were roasted. One, terribly burned, was gotten out, only to suffer until yesterday morning and then die. The flames communicated to the one story frame structure adjoining, used by Crofford for the storage of lamps. and the two story frame building, No. 35 st. Pnuls The lower portion of the latter was occupied by William Sheridan, sconfectioner, and the upper portion by Crofford as his residence. Both build ings were totally destroyed. The entire loss amounts to 5000, on which there was an insurance of $500. Mr.. Crofford believes the fire to have been of i~ncendiary origin. Three boys were seen in the stables during the even ing. Seven of the horses were owned by Crofford, and the other by Patrick Nc Fadden, of West Newark avenue.

Albany lGa) Advertiser. Our readers will remember how Mr.. II. II. Nelms, living ten miles on the other side of the river, was troubled by alhgators eating his hogs last year, and how he instituted war on the enemy and succeeded in killing a number. A pond on his place seemed to be a fayorite re- sort for the scaly monsters, and they play sad havoc with his hogs every year. When the water is high there is no pos sible mems Of Mr.. Nclms getting at them. But about this time every year the pond gets very low, and Mr.. \. never fails to avail himself of the opportunity to 90 for his troublesome dead beat ten ants. When the water in the pond be- gins to get low the alligators dig out a kind Of well in the pond eight or ten feet deep, and from the bottom of this well they work back into its wall a cave, where they can secrete themselves from all foes. The other day Mr.. Nelms, owing to the low water dug down into two of their caves and found a gator in one and killed it. He tracked the other from its den out of the pond into the woods to an old clay root, under which he found sir gator snuglv enscOnsed. 'TIs useless to say he too was brought forth and made to answer for his mis- dOings. They were cut open, and in one was found the two halves Of = large hog

These names were purely Spanish, and from my diary I transcribe the following: 'Sylvcstro Rodrigo, Miguel Bandara, Sanch Pizara, Francsko Mancha, - Lopez, and a hundred others. In enc or two places we found dates covering a lapse of years extending from 1880 to 1865, convincing us that the settlement must have fiourishcd for period of thirty years at least.

After Dinner Naps.-Many persons are in the habit of sleeping for half an hour or an hour Immediately after din ner. This is a bad practice. Ten minutes sleep before dinner is worth more than an hour after. It rests and refreshes and prepares the system for vigorous digestion. If sleep Is taken after dinner it should be in sitting posture, as the horizontal position is unfavOrable to healthful digestion. Let those who need rest and sleep during the day, take it before dinner instead of after, and they will soon find that they feel better, and that their digestion will be improved there by.-HerdJd Of Health.

The DtsSemstOns I'm the ParaY-The Work of DisintcgratiOn Progress Ing. 4..-, From the Titusville .(Pa) Journal, Oct. 6. The Republican party, State and nation ally viewed, is tern with discussions, and is full of trouble and trial, and gives fat tering evidences of speedy dissolution. From all parts of the country come rum ors of bitterness and strife among the leading men, engendering distrust and disgust in marked degree with the masses-the rank and file of tho party. In the second congressional district of the State-city of Philadelphia-tWoR Re- publican candidates are running for Con- gress, both claiming to be regular nomi- nees, and the fight is irreconcilsble and intense. Recently the Radical State Cen tral Committee undertook to fix matters, but the effort failed and the State Com mittee became ''fragmentaryn upon the unpleasantness, and John Covode, the venerable chairman thereof, repudiated the action of his associates, who had de- cided in favor of O.Neill, thus establish ing the regularity of Capt.

In the Allegheny district the same in harmonious political feast is presented, and Simon Cameron is head and front of | the misunderstanding" Nearer home, we find Scofeld in the Erie and Warren district confronted with a call, signed by hundreds of honest Re- publicans, asking Hon.
