community, the deep loss our State sustoin'
lin the untimely death of our late lamented
sSenator, the Hon. DAVID c. BRoDERtcK,

9resolutions of coincidence and that all th'
Friends, personal and political, and the man,
samong the masses, admirers of the deceased

sdays. The deep gloom pervading the entire

] "TnE NERVOUS MAN AND THE MAN OF
5NERvE"-Dr Winship, the strong man whc
illustrated the first lecture on physical
strength by fainting away twice before Bos
ston audience, has at last succeeded in deliv-
sering his sentiments and illustrating his posi-
/ 3tions in less antithetical manner. Byles
Boston correspondent of the Tribune, thus
speaks of his second appearance.
Last night, however, he made another and
I 1most successful attempt, at the Music Hall,
swhere there was air enough for all our occa-
asions. His lecture was very sensible one,
ION the Importance of the obedience to the
aphysical laws of our nature, especially as to
3ventilation and muscular development. He
Abelieved that no adequate notion is yet had
Aas to the degree to which the bodily strength
3may be increased. He had his attention first
aattracted to the subject when in college
height or nine years ago, being at the time not
5more than an average lad of sixteen or sew
3enteen. BY degrees he has increased his
1muscular powers up to their present extra
8ordinary force. lie is about five feet seven
3inches tall, and weighs, when in good condi-
I ation only l43 pounds. BY way of showing
Jus what he could do, he first lifted with bis
dhands only, without straps or other appara-
ltus, a weight of 929 pounds, including the
Ichain which sustained the weights This he
3aflirmed was more than any man ever lifted
3before, in the same way, of whom there Is
lany authentic record A famous strong En-
9glishman, in the last century could lift be-
stween 700 and 500 pounds, and NJ Bihio, the
belgian giant, 500 pounds Both of these
were older men, he being bat %, and he an
1nounced his intention of lifting 1000 pounds
( by the time he is 80 Afterward lifted him
4 self by his little finger so as to bring his chin
Higher than the laboring point, and after
1 ward by grasping the rope without any
! other purchase. Next he manipulated hi
1 dumb bells, weighing hundred pounds
! leach, and concluded with taking up a barre
I 3of flour in his hands, and putting it on hi
! shoulder, and walking the stage with it -
aStated apologetically, that he was not in a
Ahigh condition as usual, and weighed sever
zpounds less than his average, in consequence,
4 lf his iCdisposition occasioned by his last lee
Sture but we thought he did pretty we'll ant
Gall he had promised, and we applauded hin
Jroundly. | trust he will soon give anothe
II lecture describing the particular exercises b,
(Which he has produced such results.
4 THE WOMEN OF MExIco.-A correspondent
of an exchange paper, writing from Mexico
8says of the women of that country:
Il Possessed of more nerve than the men, the
aconspire with greater freedom, and are NOR
8relied upon by the soldiers and priests tha
sany other class of spies. They carry letters
.9watch the enemy, pick up secrets, and do al
%those tricks which civilized nations call dis
Ahonorable, and punish with death. 1t is o
8this account, presume, that the spy syster
His not visited with such heavy penalties i
Mthis country as with us; for, although tn
law makes it death, there are so many in tE
Is business that they defy its inAiction. But
was saying, the women here are mixed u
Bin politics as deeply as any other class; an
eamany of the revolutions of the State hay
Abeen precipitated by babbling or ambition
III wives or courtesans. They are very kin,
sand they are very cruel, according as til
Esu6ject provokes them as you can learn froI
Hthousands of travellers who owe their lives
Rtheir watehfulness and warning.
