How to Ercnlh..


There is one rule TO be observed in.
taking exercise by waIlsing-the very
best form in which it can be taken by
the young and able bodied of all ages
and that is, never allow the action of
respiration to be carried ON through
the mouth. The nasal passages are
clearly the medium through which
respiration was by our Creator, de-.
signed to be carried on. "God breath
ed into mans nostrils the breath Of
life previous to his becoming a living,
creature. The difference in the ex-
haustion Of strength by a long walk
with the mouth firmly closed, and res
piraiion carried on through the nos
trils instead of through the mouth, is
inconceivable to those who have new
or tried the experiment Indeed this
mischievous and really unnatural
habit of carrying on the work, Of in
spiration and expiration through the
mouth, instead Of through the nasal
passages, is the ,truc origin of almost
all the diseases of the throat and
lungs, ms bronchitis, congestion, asth-
ma, and even consumption ITSELF
That excessive pcrspiration to which
some individuals are SO liablei in their
sleep, which is SO weakening to the
body, is solely the effect Of such per
sons sleeping with their mouths un-
closed, And the same unpleasant and
exhaustive results arise to the animal
system from walking with the mouth
open, instead Of, when not engaged in
conversation, preserving the lips in a
state of firm, but quiet compression.
AS the heat and velocity of the blood
thf0ugh the lungs depend almost en-
tirely upon the quantity of the atmosI
pheric air inhaled with each inspira-
tion, and it is unavoidnbly that it
sbouldnbe taken In, in volume by the
mouth, while it can only be supplied
in moderate quantities, andjust in suf-
ficient proportion to serve tho purpose
ofa healthy respiratory action, while
supplied through the nnostrils, D it is
clear that bthe body must be much
lighter andcooler, and the breathing
much freer and easier whenthe latter
course rather than the former is The
oneadopted. oought never
to be allowed to stand or walk with
their mouths open; for, ,iobesides the
vacant appearance it givcsItoI the coun-
tenance, is the certain precursor of
coughs, colds, and sore throats.--Meth.

bedroom in about an holr, she found

lamp was on the floor, with the glass
part in hundred pieces and the car
pet was burned in q circle Of several
feet, near where the fragments of the
lamp were strown and dress which
was hanging on a chair near by, had
been partially burned and the fire had
fortunately gone out. When found the
little girl was nearly strangled with
tho fumes in tho room. The wick,
when turned had heated the oil, and
the fire was communicated with tho

A TAX ON COTTON.

THE Comptroller of the Currency
warmly advocates, in the report he
recently transmitted to Congress, a
tax on cotton ard tobacco for the pur.
pose of laying portion Of the bur-
dens of our public debt upon foreign
countries. He says that ''it is esti.
mated that the cotton crop the next
year will amount to between two and
IL half and three millions of bales; d
tax often cents per pound on 2, 500, 900
will produce 1926, 100000. 1t is reaa
sonable to suppose that the annual
crop of cotton, after two or three years,
will equal in amount the aver lge of
the crop for few years previous to
1861, which was about four and q half
millions of bales. A tax ofeight cents
per pound on that quantity would
produce Sl80,000;0O0. *df* Three.
fourths of the crops ofcotton3 and to-!
bacco are exported; that proportion,
therefore, Of the tax on those articles
would be paid by foreign countries,
and to that extent contribute to the
liquidation Of the public debt and re-.
lief of our own people, Our readers
will remember that some months ago
we repeatedly urged, in our columns,
the adoptionlof the policy indicated
above, and we are glad that the atten.
tion of Congress has been officially di.
rected to it. Foreign ilnations--par.
ticularly Great Britainr-have. been
plundering us very effectively during
the last few years, because by ithe in :.
flaLion ofour currency our market has
been one of the best in the world to
sell their fabrics, and one of the poor
est TO buy in, and besides Confederate
cruisers have crippei,our commerce
and CANADIAN has been made grand de-
pot for smuggling operations to defraud
our rrevenueila%s. BY q tax on. cotton
and tobacco VIC should be enabled to
give them a Rowland for their Oliver
and eventually to obtain full compen-
sation for all the losses thcy have in
flicted upon us.-Phitadelphid Press. 3

I did not give the operations of tho

l, did not give the operations of the
Freedmen's Bureau that attention l
would have done if more time had
been at my disposal. Conversations,
however, on the subject, with officers
connected with the Bureau, led me to
think that in some of the States it's af.
fairs have not been conducted with
good judgment or economy, and that
the belief, widely spread among the
Freedmen ofthe Southern States, that
the lands Of the former owner will ut
least in part be divided among them,
has come from tho agent Of the Bureau.
This belief is seriously interfering with
tho willingness of the freedmen to
make contracts for the coming year.
In some forms the Freedmen's Bureau
is an absolute necessity until civil law
is established and enforced, securing
to the freedmen their rights and full
protection. AT present, however, it
is independent of the military estab.
lishment Of the country, and seems to
be operated by the different agents of
the Bureau according to their indi.
vidual notions everywhere. s m#a.
General Howard, the able head of
the Bureau, made friends by the Just
and fair instructions and advice he
gave, but the complaint in South Car
olina was that when he left, things
went on as before. Many, perhaps
tho majority, of the agents of the
freedmens Bureau. advise the freed.
men that by their own industry they
must expect 10 live, To this end they
endeavor to secure employment for
them, and to geo that both contracting
parties comply with their engage
.mcnts. "Gi WEHi7 .rat. nI nETI
In somo cases, ] am sorry to say tho
freedmen's mind does net seem to be
disabused Of the idea freedmen have the
right to live without care or prouision
for the future. The effect Of the be-
lief in the division of land is idleness
and accumulation in camps, towns and
Cities In such cases l think twill be
found that vice and disease will tend
to the determination or destruction of
the colored race. YH19y,d ~ ii
1t can not be expected that the opin-
ions held by men at the South for
Years can be changed in a day, and
therefore, the freedmen require for o
few years not only laws to protect
them, but the fostering care Of those
who will give them good coansel and
on whom they can rely. The Freed
mems Bureau being separated from
the military establishment ofthe coun.
try requires all the expense Of sep
arate organization. One does not
necessarily know what tho other is do.
ing or what orders they are acting un-
der. It seems to me this could be cor
rected by regarding every officer on
duty with troops in the. Southern
States, as agents of the trcsdmen's bu.
reau, and then have all orders for The
head of the bureau sent through the
department commanders. .Thiswould
create responsibility that would give
uniformity Of action throughout the
South, and would insure the orders
and instructions from the heal Of the
bureau being carried out, and would
