Democratic Co. Nominations.
The Mahony DeIaosrats of this coanty, at
their convention here on Saturday, nomiaa-
ted for Senator, John A. johnson, ofCentrc;
for Representatives, j. H. Flint of Centre,
and Thomas McGlofin of Columbia; for Co.
Judge, Thomas Fowler of Adams; for Sher-
1T, L. E. Gray, present encumbent, and for
Treasurer and Recorder, w. j. Ross. pres
ent incumbent. The platform of the State
Convention (Mahony), was re-alfirmed, with
an additional resolution pledging support to
the Stat. Ticket The convention was well
attended and was apparently harmonious.

Democratic Convention No. Q, at Des Moincs
on the Goth, and endorsed the nominees ex.
ccpt for Lieut. Governor, for which they SUBJ
stituted Merritt in place of Fisher declined
The platform was slightly modified for ef-
feet, and Mason's letter lily endorsed. That
beautiful specimen Of politician and man,
So James f. Neal, of Marion county, was
put on the track for Congress- So violent
and rowdyish was the conduct of the man.
ayers Of this convention, that the Douglas
Union Democrats, headedby the President,
Hon. Lincoln Clark, Hon. j. c. Hall, Hon.
W. F. Coolbaugh, and others left in disgust
before the close Of the proceedings. The
reasons which induced this course, will pro-
badly be made known to the public at an
early day. Itappears that the secession SITS
have succeeded in purging their party Of
every prctense to patriotism and devotion
to the country, and will now proceed in the
usual way, 20 demand of all Democrats to
open their mouths and swallow secession at
: gulp, dcnouncc and oppose the war for the
Union, libel and abuse our volunteers, send
their families to the poor house, and in every
other way play into the hands Of jeff Davis
and his crew of robbers, incendiaries, per-
jurers and pirates. All this is to be attempt
ed in Iowa, the home of the glorious, brave,
and noble First Regiment! Will the Dem
ocrats Of Iowa be made the instruments of
all this? We shall see.

TIE LECTURE LAST EvESNa.-Much curl
Osity has been excited by the reports of the
extraordinary muscular strength which DR..
Winship has attained by regular and per-
sistent efforts, and last evening the Melo-
deOn was filed at an early hour by an audi
ence eager to behold the wonders Of which
they had heard.
The lecturer prefaced his remarks by say
ing, that in order to develope more fully
than the limits of popular lecture would
admit, his ideas Of Physical Culture, he was
preparing volume upon the subject, which
would be forthcoming in the spring. He
continued by observing that appearances
were often deeeitful, and many might perhaps
have expected to behold man weighing $50
instead Of $50 pounds, and in stature rather
seven feet five inches than five feet seven
inches Physical Culture is the culture Of
the body; none are too young, and none too
old, to pursue it. Body and mind are so in
timately connected, that improvement Of
one is necessarily improvement of the other;
and the physical wants are as important as
the mental. Although it has been said by
some, that the body is only the worthless
case that separstss the soul of man from his
Maker, and that therefore it is unworthy such
especial care, he Tentured 70 consider all opin-
ions Of this kind as not meriting the serious
attention of any thinking man. Every school
should have a gymnasium attached 70 it,
and care should be taken that the bodies Of
its pupils should be advanced in strength
and vigor, thereby securing increased intel
lectual power, with increased health. A
gymnasium should contain rings, bars, lad
ders, dumb-bells, and such other apparatus IS
would call great variety of muscles into
play, all of which should be used IN turn
The dumb-bells should be third heavier
than The weight which can be supported al
arms length.
Human strength has been, With the lee
turer, q study for years. A gain in strength
is gain in health /; the strong man being tc
the weak, what the oak is to the pine; what
q river is to a rivulet. Strength did mo-
lessen the beauty of Venus, nor Of Apollo
and with it Milton would have been hand
somer,s and vcltaire less ugly. Admirable
Crieton is an example Of the union Of strength
Of mind and Of body. For its attainment
certain rules must be observed.
First. Breathe freely as much fresh eli
Is Is possible; and walk with the head erec
and chest advanced.
second. Eat and drink such food as woul'
be given to child Of six years let it b
neither too hot nor too cold, and free from
all adulteration.
Third. Exercise every faculty and ever!
function.
Fourth. Practical gymnastics daily, o.
successive instruments, being careful not :
become fstigued.
FiHh. Sleep at least fifteen feet ab0V
the ground, and let the bed be Iaised nos les
than two feet from the AOor. Sleep in
draft Of outer air.

oLEYELAND, FRIDAY MORNING, JAN

Sixth. Practice abiution at least oncesand
not more than twice in a week. f3rl
The practice Of lifting has been assailed
by many authors, but the experience Of one
ought TO be worth the theories of thousand.
The lecturer began to litt in his twenty-sec-
Ond year, and was then able to raise 400
pounds, and during the year increased this
weighttO 700. From 1856 to 1859 he made
no great advance, but on the 18th May ofthe
latter year he raised 920 pounds in septem-
Der, l0s2j and in January Of 1850, I1eO; in
May 1908, and bas recently mastered 1900
pounds. The secret of it all is in adding a
little more each day. .t.II arirs5
DR.. Winship, after the conclusion Of his
lecture, proceeded to demonstrate its theory
by actual experiment.
Ascending 9 platform erected upon the
stage he lifted kegs Of nails weighing sue
cessively 1000, 100, 14sO, 1870 and 1877
pounds. The chains being somewhat too
short, the audience excused him from any
greater efforts, although he has recently
raised 1884 pounds. He then raised himself
by his little finger and then by his middle
finger and ended the exhibition by should
esing barrel of -four.
DR.. Winship is, as he in his lecture stated +,
five feet seven inches in height and weighs
one hundred and ff1y pounds His person
al appearance affords little indication of the
great strength which he possesses. His voice
is good and his manner and delivery easy,
although the latter is susceptible of i'm
provepant
