The Romance and Glory of the IlnIian
Warwick's Career.

Warwick's Career.
The New York World thus speaks of Carl
baldi, the italian King Maker;
A man who, few years ago, was making
candles on Staten Island-Who, q few months
ago, was retired soldier, much beloved be-
loved and admired, but with no position or
command-by his daring, his address, and
his military skill, has rescued a kingdom and
a dependent island from tyrannic dynasty;
has been made absolute dictator in the realm
which he enfranchised, and then summon
ing q sovereign who has not furnished him a
gun, man, or a Scudo, rides with him side
by side into the capital of the liberated cOun-
try, transfers to him the supreme power, and,
finally, not lingering round the monarch in
whose hands he has placed the scepter oi
half Italy, goes home 70 rest as quietly as il
he were turning his back upon days
labor.
There is simple grandeur about the man
ner in which this man Garibaldi has absolved
himself of the high and perilous Office which
all unbidden, he assumed, that lifts him fal
up among those who sit enthroned in the
worlds memory. Such absolute self-abne.
ton when he was debating the fortunes oi
his country, such absolute self-negotiation
when those fortunes were achieved by the
force of his will, and the strength of hi!
right arm, mankind can think of only will
wonder and admiration. But yesterday, h,
| was absolute, at the peril of his life, his for
tune, and his fame; to-day he gives hi
power, not back again to those who, in shee
necessity, bestowed it on him-that wer
comparatively easy-but into the hands o
another man, with the sole purpose of serv
ing their common country.

The AMERICAN LUMBER TRADE.-It is sim
gular how little fluctuation ever takes place
in our lumber market. Wood brings but
little more per cord now than it did twenty
years ago, and yet the quantity annually
consumed is immense. When we take into
consideration that the oak timber required
for one single ocean steamer will strip as
bare as the Greek slave fifty acres of the best
woodland in the country, some idea may be
formed of the quantity of land run over by
the AK of the ship. carpenter alone. To
supply the ship-yards of New York requires
the stripping of 5000 acres of timber-land
annually. Yet this immense supply can be
continued without any sensible addition to
the price or any apparent dimiuution Of ouI
forest lands. The present supply Of ship
timber is principally from the States o.
Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and
New York-the oak of these States being
preferable to that growing farther North
because the latter is porous. But our grea
Undergrad is Oregon--a country that car
supply the demand of all the nayies in the
world and not feel it.

ALLEGED DISTINCTIONS BY RAmRo oADs.-In
the case of Henry Schultz against the Little
Miami Railroad Company, in which the
plaintiff claimed to recover damages from
injuries claimed to have been occasioned to
his property on East Front street, by reason
of the alleged unreasonable use of the street
by the Railroad Company, Judge Storer
charged the jury at considerable length. In
closing, the Court remarked that defendants
were not responsible to the plaintiff for in
juries arising from the natural decay Of the
building, failure in its foundation, or deteri-
oration by the construction merely of the
railroad; bpt only for those improper acts in
the management oftheir engines and trains,
which have directly produced the injury
complained of.
The jury then retired to deliberate on
their verdict.

REMEDY FOR FELoSs.-We have received
the following remedy for felons, from sub
scriber, to which we wish to call particular
attention:
"Whenever it is believed that a felon is
about to make its appearance, take piece of
tape and commence winding it around the
end of the finger, continuing it i'm spiral
form until you pass above the point where
the pain is first discovered; this should not
pressure, sufficient to stop the free circula-
tion Of the blood, thus depriying the felon Of
that which is necessary to its growth; con-
tinue the same from twelve 10 twenty-four
hours, occasionally bathing with spirits
turpentine, if convenient, and the cure will
be complete without any painful application.

INTRODUCTION OF GYMNAsTIo EXERCISES IN
THE PUBLIC SCHooLs.-Considerab dis
cussion was, last night, elected in the School
Board, by the report of the Special Commit
tee on Gymnastic Exercises. A large ma
jority of the Board was decidedly in favor of
a system of physical as we'll as mental train
ing in the schools, and with that view, the
committee was directed to devise some plan
cises as would be conducive to health and
bodily vigor. In order to do this, they will
probably report against any particular
formality, but recommend only that which
will be combined with amusement, as no
good can result from mere mechanical exer-
else, independent of the will.

''The laborer is worthy Of his hire" and
when, through excess of modesty or an oUer-

that those for whom be labors should give it

In view of this fact, I would suggest that

The Committee, to whom VI as referred the
examination of the gymnastic exercises in
the Fifth District submitted the following
report;
1'Your Committee witnessed the exercises
of some 200 pupils, under the direction of
Professor Greusen, and were much pleased
with the kind of exercises, and particularly
with the great eagerness with which the
children entered into them. The entire
muscular system was actively exercised in
their various attitudes, and the result must
be, if systematically carried out, to make
our children better in form and more muscu-
lar in action--two results thighly desirable.
"The Principal of this school permits a
portion of the pupils, during what is techni-
cally called study bills, if the lessons are
properly prepared for the next recitation, to
spend part of their time in gymnastic ex-
ercises. The pupils return to their studies
with renewed energies of body and mind,
and, as your Committee believe, will accom-
plish their work better than if such exer-
else had not been taken.
"Besides, it acts as a stimulant to the faith
full preparation of lessons, for none are per-
mitted to join in these exercises during
study hours, unless thus prepared. The use
OF expensive apparatus Is not, IN our Judg-
ment, either desirable or necessary. By the
use of swings, upright poles ladders, &C.,
| pupils may be seriously injured. In free
| gymnastics no one is endangered, either in
life or limb, and all the most desirable results
| attained.
'Your Committee are. decidedly of the
| opinion that the gymnastic exercises, as
| practiced in the First District Schools, SO far
| from retarding the pupils in their studies, are
q great benefit As to their influence on
physical health, no sane mind can have q
| doubt.
'Your Committee are so well convinced Of
the utility of well-conducted gymnastic ex-
ercises, that they would urge your honorable
body, at as early period as practicable, tC
employ professor Of gymnastics, and thus
| incorporate physical education a part and
parcel of the common school system.
