TIE siady Of Physiology

Da. JoHs, speaking of the importance ofa
general knowledge Of physiology and the
laws Of life and health, in the last number
of the Medical Rs6rmer uses the following
sperinent and forcible language:
These subjects are of deep importance; and
paramount to all else that is earthly, should
claim the earnest attention, not of the "pro-
fessional man alone, but of every son and
daughter Of Adam. Wealth may be ac-
ouired, vet without health how miserably is
it enjoyed, Time and money may be en-
ployed in acquiring q knowledge of the prin-
ciplcs, the structure and the arrangement Of
everything around and about us--the earth
beneath US, the atmosphere surrounding us,
and the heavens above us, yet neglecting TO
acquaint ourselves with knowledge Of the
mechanism and arrangement of ourselves
Of the wonderful principles and beautiful
laws which tend to keep our bodies in tune
through
life's little span,"
cf'what avail is all our other knowledge? But
such alas! is too much the course of the
world, While some attention is paid 10 the
mind, the poor body is forgotten, The men
tai receives training and culture, but tine phys
ical is neglected and who is not able TO see
that the development of the physical has not
been in proportion TO the mental.
All the beautiful outward templesinwhich
the immortal mina isdwelling were given to
be kept in order. But how sotrowfnlly has
this been neglected! And who is able to
compute the sickening amount of suffering
and anguish that has resulted ,herefrom! The

The Tariff In Coz gress.

In the House The Tariff piesrtsd great
fight. For weeks and weeke past il was
known that persons were lobbying for taxing
off the duty on railroad iron, md to admit
wool duty free. The New En- gland Railroad
interest had made bargain with the rail-
road men, and the tariff reduction men of
the South naturally supported anything 10 re-
duce The present tariff. The attempt was
first made ,c pass Mr.. Houslon's tariff, but
the New England mon wanted 10 do better
than that; they wanted to pass their own bill,
and hence they rather assisted Mr. Robbins IN
staving off the consideration Of the bill, by
substituting the Civil and Diplomatic BILL
Meanwhile, the Senate, by combination of
interests, passed the railroad iron bill, giving
credit of three years 10 ,he importers Of
that article. Everybody understood that this
bull practically takes away the duty or rail-
road iron, and admits ii, ia fact, daty free.
This round about legislation opened the
eyes of portion of The Pennsylvania Dele
CATION. They saw that they had the choice
oil two evils---ihe choice between the Tariff
matured by ihs Cotninilee Of Ways and
Means, and the miserable ez parts humbug,
matured by the New England manufacturers
and the Railroad Companies of the South
and West, Wings, Democrats, Frse.Soileta
and AbolilionIsts conjointly. The Senate
bill took away the duty on railroad iron en-
tirely, and threatened 10 ruin with one fell

HINTS ABOUT bedrooms.

Their small size and their lowness render
them very inso!ubrious ard the case is rem
dered worse by close windows, and thick
hangings, with which the beds are often SO
carefully surrounded as 10 prevent the posi-
bilty of the alr being renewed. The conse-
quence is we are breathing vilia,ed air du
ring the greater par, of The night, that is du-
ring more than third part Of our lives and
thus The period of repose which is necessary
for the renovation of our mental aud bodily
vigor, becomes source Of disease. Sleep,
under such circumstances is very often dis.
turbel, and always much less refreshing than
when enjoyed in well ventilated apartment;
it often happens, indeed, that such repose,
instead OF being followed by renovated
strength and activity, is succeeded by de-
gree Of heaviness and languor, which is moi
overcome till the person has been sometime
in purer air. Nor is this the only evil ari.
sing from sleeping in ll-ven,ilated ed apartments.
When il is known that the blood undeigoes

only be effected by The respiration Of pure

inbaling for many successive hours the viii
aieJ air OF our ed-rooms, and howthe health
must be efectually destroyed by fespiring
impure air, as by living OH pnwh olesome or
