HUNCARY-lTS TERRIBLE CONDITION
Letters from Hungary complain OF
the insecurity ofthe country caused by
the numerous bands of men compel
led, by their outlawed condition
having taken national part in the
late civil war--to live in the forests
and mountains, and lead a Robin
Hood kind Of "a life at the expense OF
their neighbors. Courts martial and
executions are powerless against this
evil; the gendarmes are harrassed to
despair, and never encounter the
outlaws without having to enter on
a combat of life and death. The
Austrains imagine that the object OF
these poor men is to get together
money for new instruction, and
never seem to think that an honest
amnesty, such as would permit the
men to quit the wild way of life might
restore them to quiet homes. On
the last day of the old year, one OF
these men was hanged a, Pesth. -
Previous to the execution he was
taken about in a procession for two
hours, during which he sang patriotic
songs and displayed supreme con-
tempt for death. At the foot of the
gallows an otlicerread a prolix state
ment of his crimes and sentence. -
The name Of h0sSuth, occurred in this
document, and had no sooner escap-
ed the lips of the officer than the
prisoner took Off his hat and reyer-
emily inclined his head. As the ia,

The Boston Journal speaks as fol-
lows of the female physicians:
That the medical profession is
hereafter to consist of women as well
as men, is no longer a matter of
doubt, judging from the strong setting
in of public sentiment in this direc-
ton. The preference of females in
some departments of practice is be-
coming so general, we understand
that the few who are educated are
oyertasfled with labor and many in
competent woman have been promo
ted to advertise themselves, and, for
want of those better qualified, are

Asl Erect Position.

A writer on health very justly con-
dennis the habit of lounging, which a
large number ofpeople indulge in, as
injurious to the health. He says:
IAN erect bodily attitude is OF vast
ly more Importance to health than is
generally imagined Crooked bodl-
ly positions, maintained any length
OF time, are injurious, whether in sit
ting standing or laying position,
sleeping or waking. To sit with the
body leading forward on the stomach,
or on one side, with the heels clcvat-
ed to a level is not only a bad taste,
but It is exceedingly detrimental to
health, cramps the stomach, presses
the vital organs, interrupts the free
motion of the chest, and cnteebles
the functions of the abdominal and
and thoraclc organs, and in fact, un-
balanced the whole muscular system.
Many children become slightly hump
backed or severely round shouldered
by sleeping with their head raised
on high pillow. When any per-
son finds it easier to sit or stand, or
walk or sleep, in a crooked position
than in q straight one, such a per-
son may be sure his muscular system
is badly deranged,and the more care
iul he Is to preseve straight or up
right position, asstsst back to nature
again, the better"

Hardly any reform is moie needed t.
facilitate the business of Congress than a revis-
ion of the rules of the House of Representatives
A more cumbrous, i'll assorted and intricate law
of proceeding could not well be contriyed and
it needs almost as much time and labor to be-
come familiar with it has would be necessary
to acquire foreign language.
In place OF this accumulated mass OF contri~
vances for delaying the business Of the House,
few simple rules, founded on obvious parlia-
mentary law and practice, should be substituted;
rules that can be easily Comprehended, aud
easily applied. We wonder that no serious
attempt has been made towards reform Of
which the necessity is so clear.
The first great rule that should be adopted
and sgnally enforced is that no man shall speak
except upon the subject really under discussion.
This would cut oil the speeches for Buns
combe, and would eventually Confne the debates
to those who have something TO say, and who
know how to say it. A member would not be
allowed 10 make speechion Cuba upon bill
to appropriate money for revolutionary PEN
sIoHs, nor 10 give, on the floor Of the House,
tie reason why his constituents Should again
return him 10 Congress. Stump speeches would
be Grlven to the stump where they belong, and
stupid orators would be sent to waste their
stupidity on those who could endure it. The
business o! Congress would be transacted in Il
quarter Of the time, and the members would vote
far more intelgently. The important bills
would not lie crowded into the close Of the
session, and the practice Of real business being
once introduced, we should not have so many
resolutions introduced for the express purpose
ofaifording an excuse 10 hang speeches upon -

cAvrloH.-The Hudson River train, due hero
at 10 IL this morning, was nearly an hour
behind time. We learn from passenger that,
when a mile or two below Cold Spring, going
at full speed, one Of the journals Of the loco-
motive broke, throwing it from the track. The
axle, however, was provided with a safety
BEAM which prevented its dropping, and the
overtu-n and smash that would otherwise have
been inevitable. After dragging short dis
tance over ties, the speed Of the train was

been thrown into tie river, with results, per-
haps, as terrible as those at Norwalk.-A!Jany

FARMERS Look AT TnIs-The farmers of
Indiana well remember what difficulty they
had last spring in getting their corn to come up
right. Many farmers had TO plant second
and third time But was well aware of the
difficulty beforehand. lascertained it by the
following experiment - | took one hundred
grains oil of fifty different ears and put them
in small pan OF dirt, aud set them by The fire
so as to keep the dirt sufficiently warm. The
result OF this experiment was, that only about
half OF the grams sprouled. repeated the en-
pertinent several times with like results. This
spring havs repeated the same experiment
several times and find that nearly every grain
sprouts well, there being only three or four
grains out of one hundred that would not come
up. So think the farmers this spring need
have no fear on this point. BY making similar
experiments, the farmers even Of Wayne county
may save several bushels Of seed,ccrn. hope
the farmers of Indiana will try the experiment
for themselves Indiana farmer.
