WILLIAMS & CO. B ALE YARN AND DOMESTIC II. U. V ILLlAJia March 29, 1859 f-a to THE SEEDS OF CONSUMPTION. At the suggestion of a medical friend we publish the following article from Dickens' Household Words: The terrible mortality caused by bronchitis, pneumonia, and consumption, which together kill i iu England and Wales only a hundred thous and people a year (being one-lburth of the entire mortality from more than a hundred other causes in addition to themselves,) should make us think ; a little seriously of the many things, and not least , seriously of the freaks of fashion which set climate j at defiance. Why do we send children abroad in damp and cold weather with their legs bare, sub mitted, tender as their bodies are, to risks that even strong adults could not brave with impunity I' Custom has made this matter appear familiar and trifling, but it is not out of place to say, at the be ginning of another winter, that the denial to young children of proper skirts to their clothes and warm coverings to their legs has sown the seeds of con sumption in thousands and thousands, and is, of many dangerous things done in obedience to laws of fashion, the one that is most thoughtless and most cruel. It is in the child that consumption can most readily be planted in the child, that when the tendency exists, it can be conrpuered, if at all. It is to be fought against by protecting the body with sufficient clothing against chill and damp, by securing it plenty of wholesome sleep not suffo cative sleep among feathers and curtains plenty of free ablution without prejudices on behalf of water, icy cold, plenty of cheerful exercise short of fatigue, plenty of meat, and bread, and whole some pudding. Those, indeed, are the things wanted by all children. Many a child pines in health upon a diet stinted with the best intentions. But the truth is. that it is not possible to over feed a child with simple wholesome eatables. It can be stimulated to excess in the demolishing of sickly dainties; and, with a stomach once fairly depraved, may be made incompetent to say when it lias had too little or too much. But a child fed only upon wholesome things knows better than any mamma can tell when it wants more; it can eat a great deal; has not only to maintain life, but to add height and breadth to stature. Fortify it, then, against variations of climate, and weather, by meeting freely the demands of its body; giv it full animal vigour to resist unwholesome impres sions. Especially let the good housewife, who has a young family to feed, learn to be utterly reckless as the extent of her milk-score. Some body has declared a pint of milk to contain as much nourishment as a half pound of meat. Be that as it may, it is the right food for little ones to thrive upon, and may save much subsequent expenditure for cod-liver oil. Nkutrat-tzjxg Poison. A "general reader" sends the following prescription to the Pittsburg Gazette : "A poison of any conceivable description and degree of potency, which has been intentionally or accidentally swallowed, may be rendered almost instantly harmless by simply swallowing two gills of sweet oil. An individual with a very strong constitution should take nearly twice the quantity. This oil will most positively neutralize every form of vegetable, animal, or mineral poison with which physicians and chemists are acquainted.

The ZonaVes and Tureos Perfect Durc-Devils. The newspapers, correspondents from Italy, and Paris story tellers give us all sorts qf reports and anecdotes about the Zouvaves, the Turcos, and other new species of troops in Italy, fighting against the Austrians. The Zouaves at Palestro, they tell us, eot their bagged trowser legs so wet. anu tnereioie so neavy, m crossing sou., .own nus 1...4 ,. . ....1..,.. ..1 tUn tli, il- fVlcf rift i .1 n l - I I 1 I li.IL MUCH UIUC1LU IV Lilt; tllUljU, mJ v their trowsers and ran to the Austrians, bayonet in band, bare-legged. The Emperor summoned a certain number of them, and told thoui lie would order them back to Africa and France, if anything of the ,like occurred again, whereupon, it is said, they cried like children, and promised good be haviour. The Turcos are a new race of men on the European field of battle, or at least, not there seen or known since the days of Hannibal, who led their ancestors into Italy. 'J hey are Mohamme dans under French oflicers, and sub-oflficers, natives of Africa, about Algiers, black, or wooly headed. W have the first account from them on the field of battle, in the correspondence of the Constitu tionnel, from Navarre. June 4th. McMahon's division is made up of these troops, and others from Africa. The corres pondent had then just heard of this division at Magenta, where they attacked the Austrians protected by their cannon. ''Like tigers," says the writer, they precipitated themselves upon the Austrians, crying ''victory !" even before they had discharged their guns. The attack is said to have xliibited one of the strangest and most terrible spectacles of war ! The Turcos threw themselves upon the enemy like the savages ot Cooper, with out mercy or quarter. Soon a horrible melee oc curred. The voices of the cannon even was drown ed by the savage cries of the Turcos cries, not the chaunts or victory, nor plaints ot the dying a.nd wounded all the language of Mahomet can muster of imprecations broke forth from (hem in isolated grouts, where one Turcos would often be seen struggling against three or four Austrians. When the Austrians ran, and the strife was over, the spectacle was not less strange. The fanatic conquerors rolled upon the earth, and under the inspiration of some African war song, they danced the most fanatic species of dance, amid bursts of laughter and frightful cries, that startled even their companions in arms. Some of them bad forced their prisoners to sit beside them, and upon these poor prisoners at first they glared, as the lion glares upon it prey; and then, with a species of fascination, as if they pitied the poor creatures now without means of defence. In other parts of the field they lay down upon the ground, exhaust ed and fatigued, and recovered their strength in sleep. The French writer, however, denies that they act like beasts of prey, or are carnivorous, but nevertheless, he says, they are savage. Their lines at Magenta were ' immense." Another correspondent says: The Tyrolcse sharpshooters in the Austrian army wear on their honnctsatuft of plumes which resemble very much that of the Piedniontese sharpshooters. At the battle of Palestro a regi ment of these Tyrolese were hidden in the wheat, and the Zouavt s, deceived by the plumes, and ap proaching with confidence, received at thirty teps a most murderous discharge of ba The surprise lasted but a moment ilooir the line. Thetemoke of the discharge Was not vet dissipated when the Tyroleans received the human avalanche, preceded by its thousand steel points, and were thus pre cipitated into the canal, where many hundreds were drowned and bayonetted. Not a single Tyro lean would have escaped, perhaps, if the Zouaves had had their linen instead oi their woolen panta loons, for they could not swim with these. Old Persons Sl kepi kg with Young. A habit which is considerably prevalent in almost every family, of allowing children to sleep with older persons, has ruined the nervous vivacity and physical energy of many a promising child. Those having dear old friends, whose lives they would like to perpetuate at the sacrifice of their innocent offspring, alone should tl is evil; but every parent who loves his child, and wishes to preserve to him a sound nervous system, with which to buffet successfully the cares, sorrows and labors of life, must see to it, that his nervous vitali ty is not absorbed bv some diseased or ared re- lative. Children, compared u in a positive condition are goin on in their th adults, are electrically The rapid changes which little bodies, abundently generate and as extensively work up vital nervo electrie fluids. Put when by contact for long nights with elder and negative persons, the vitaliz ing electricity of their tender organizations is absorbed, they soon pine, grow pale, languid and dull, while their bed companions feel a correspond ing inviproration. King David, the Psalmist, knew the effects of this practice, and when he became old, got certain young persons to sleep with hira, that bis days might be lengthened. Dr. Hufe land, the German physiologist, attributes tbe frequent longevity of schoolmasters to their daily association with youog persons. Invalid mothers often prolong their existence by daily contact with their children. I once knew a woman who by weak lungs and mineral doctors, bail hr-cn nrnstrated with incurable consumption. Her infant occupied the same bed with her almost constantly day and night. The mother lingered for months on the verge ot the grave, her demise being hourly expected. Still she lingered on, daily disproving the predictions of her medical attend ants. The child, meanwhile, pined without any apparent disease. Its once fat cheeks fell away with singular rapidity, till every bone in its face O f i was visible. Finally, it had imparted to the moth- er its last spark of vitality, and simultaneously i both died. I saw it recently stated in a newspaper ; that a man in Massachusetts had lived forty days without eating anything, during which period he had been nourished by a little cold water, and "by the influences absorbed by him while daily holding the hand of his wife.

THE STRONGEST MAN. Dr. Ceorge B. Windship, of Roxbury, has crea ted quite a stir in Boston, by delivering n lecture n "Physical Culture," which he illustrated by feats of most wonderful and amazing physical strength, which he has acquired by a persistent and regular course of exercise. Pr Wind&hip is a young man of about 25 years of age, feet 7 in ches in height, and weighs about 140 pounds, with ekcdinglv fair face, and a modest and retiring i ' . .. manner. Jle graduated at Harvard oiieg; some four years ago, since which he has studied medi cine and had the advantage of considerable private practice in some of the most respectable families, as well as the practical information gained by a connection witli several of the hospitals and public institutions. His lecture abounded in practical common sense and philosophical reasoning show ing unmistakably that while the jihisical educa tion had been cared for, the intellectual had not been neglected, but that it also had been strength ened, vitalized and made more vigorous. At the conclusion of (he lecture, Pr. Windsh?p illustrated the force and truth of his theory by lifting with his own hands, unaided by any tstraps or machinery except such as nature had provided him, 826 pounds; and then 929 pounds! lie then shouldered a barrel of flour, weighing 216 pounds. Afterwards he exercised a hundred pound dumb bell in each hand with the same apparent ease that a man of ordinary strength would handle those weighing only fifteen or twenty pounds. He then raised himself up by'his little finger some four feet from the stage, and in this way continued to sustain his bodily weight three or four minutes. The lecture, as well as the illustrations, was re i 1 i tiii ceived with the wildest enthusiasm of applause by an audience of over 2,000 of the most men aud women of Boston. intelligent A Boston paper gives the following sketch of a portion of Pr Windship's lecture: "The Doctor gave an account of his own expe rience in gymnastics, commencing with bis 17th year, at college, where, in two years, hfs health was greatly improved. Gymnastics, ho showed, had their abuses from persons not properly trained trying to outdo others. Exhaustion and weariness should never be allowed to come. Lifting was a neglected branch on account of the tendency of people to injure themselves with it. Yet, to a thorough hardening of the whole body, lifting was necessary. He had commenced with 500 pounds, and increased gradually, till on the 12th of May last he had lifted 986 pounds. Calcn had calculated that the hips and legs could support two or three tons. There were other ways of lifting by which large amounts could be lifted. Not long since, with his bands and back together, he had lifted 1,500 pounds. There was a vast difference between lifting and sustain ing. He would not advise any one to train them selves up to lift more than 500 pounds with the hands, or 2,000 with the straps. He had gone beyond that to ascertain what could be done. Tot ten and the Belgian giant were the only petrous he had ever learned authentically to have lifted 800 pounds. Totteu lived one hundred years ago, and was thirty years old when In; lifted it. Pr. Windship said lie had five years yet before he reached that, and he hoped to train himself to lift 1 ,000 pounds clear. Next to lifting, dumb bells are useful. One of his own weighed 140 pounds, and others 100 lbs. each. The rings came next. No had never prac ticed over half an hour a day, which was sufficient to exercise all the muscles.
