A riot lately occurred IN Boston between
Irish laborers and the fremen in which much

and followed by the Irish, when battle en-

Extract from an article in the Georgia Jour-
nal on the Physical Education of Females.
When we regard the uses of the thorax or
chest; its dmentions and delicacy, and above
all the important viscera which it encloses,
viz: the lungs and hearts, we are insensibly
struck with wonder and admiration at the wis.,
dom, contrivance and skill of its divine fabri-
Gator. We cannot then refrain from holding
the one who would attempt to alter its shape
or size, to suit his own views of beauty or
propriety, as guilty of arrogance and presump-
ton, and, we had almost SAID, impiety. A body
which requires certain space in which to per-
form certain motions, will evidently be retarded,
or perhaps entirely arrested, should that space
be contracted ever so little Sol with the lungs
and heart; they require no more nor less than
the exact space allotted them by nature. AS
soon as the human form is forced siia distorted
into the shape pronounced by Fashion, the
most lovely and divine" just so soon do these
organs protest against the innovation, in the
shape of pulmonary diseases, syncopes, head
aches, appoplexies and frequently death. We
have. OURSELVES, Witnessed post anOrtem exami-
nations oftwo victims of this distressing NAL
ady, Fashion; in both cases of which the ribs
completely overlapped the sternum (breast-
bone;) the diaphragm was contracted and infa-
med, and the eartincipiently ossi6ed Howisit
possible nature can perform healthy and vigo-
rousfunctions, in so unnatural system! We,
hence, object to every mode of dress which
tends, even in the slightest degree, to obstruct
the full play of al the vital functions.
