AN ITEM FOR THE HOME OIRcLE.- -Some- body says, and truly, that there are few families anywhere in which love is not abus- ed as furnishing the license for impolite- ness. A husband, father, or brother will speak harsh words to those he loves best, simply because the secrecy of love and family pride keep him from getting his head broken. It is a shame that a man will speak more impolitely at times to his wife or sister than he would to any other wo- man, except low vicious one. It is thus that the honest affections of mans nature prove to be weaker protection to awoman in a family circle than the restraints of so- ciety, andSthat woman is usually indebt- ed for the hndest po]iteness of life to those not belonging to her own household. These things ought not to be so. The man who, because it will not be resented. inficts his spleen and bad temper upon those of his hearthstone, is small coward and very mean man. Kind words are circulating mediums between true gentlemen and la dies at home and no polish exhibited in so- ciety can atone for the harsh language and disrespectful treatment to often indulged in between those bound together by Gods own ties of blood, and the most sacred bonds of conjuga1 1ove.-~

'' The South Punished Enough The
following is an extract from speech de-
livercd in Cairo, Illinois, by j. H. Oberly,
Esq, editor OF the Cairo Democrat. Mr.
Obcrly wields a potent pen, and is one Of the
most promising young orators in Southern
Illinois. in alluding to the condition Of the
people of the south, he eloquently and truth
fully says:
"This people have been punished enough.
The bosom Of the Southern country swells
into 800, ,0G0 waves Of earth under which
rest the bones Of 100000 brave men slain
by the avenging sword Of the Union; in
half a z lion homes DesolatiOn sits by the
hearthstones. and Despair, like the shadows
Of a dark and gloomy night, has fallen upon
the hearts Of that people. Their cities have
been sacked and their fields devastated

1t seems after all that the Radicals do not
intend to give the country any repOse. We
had hattered ourselves with the idea that
after the fourth of March next we should
have rest from Congressional gabble and
Radical nonsense, but there is no such bliss
ful repose in store for US 1t Is stated from
Washington that the Republican members
are nearly or quito unanimous IN support of
a propOsitiOn to pass a law calling the next
Congress together on the fifth of March. 1t
Is really q horrid thing to contemplate. Sum
ners dreary rhetoric, and Stevens vulgar
invective for the weary interval between
March and December, are greater trial to
the uuivering nerves of the country than an
invasion of cholera. And what Is the ne
cessity? Why do these fearful people per-
sist in boring US with their cheap patriotism
and their Fourth Of July rhOdOmontade
Let them do what they like with u.s. hang
US, confscate our property, disfranchise US;
but why viii they lecture Us to death
But after ALL there Is one satisfaction for
US. We shall not suffer alone. If the thirty
ninth Congress, translated into the fOrtieth,
resolve to adjourn on the 4th Of March only
to reassemble on the 9th; and to continue
sitting through springtime and harvest, the
North viii feel the pressure Of this superin-
cumbent boredom equally with the South.
More, perhaps, for we have pretty well
made up cur mind 70 look on the sayings
and doings of Congress with the same senti-
ments with which we would regard the an
ties of a set Of chattering monkeys, varied
/ only by the fact that the monkeys happen to
/ be on the outside of the cage, while the peo-
pie of the North, or a majority of them ex-
/ pect something dignifed, sensible and prac-
+ ticai from their Representatives. 1t they do
not get thoroughly sick and tired of Con
+ gressional fatuity, stupidity, arrogance, IN
+ efficiency, inconsistency, injustice vindie-
+ tiveness and corruption, before the time

Sanitary Neaswes.-I}y reference to the
mortuary report which appears elsewhere, it
will be seen that two or three deaths have
occurred during the past week from cholera.
We had hoped that the disease even of the
mildest form had disappeared entirely from
the city. Such, however, was not the case.
We learn that the city has not been entirely
exempt from cholera at any time this fall,
and now that the weather continues warm,
and sanitary measures have become less
stringent, the disease at least holds its ground,
and the probabilities are, that unless some
precautionary steps are taken, it will linger
in a mild form all winter, and be ready to
break out with redoubled violence next
summer. We suggest, therefore, to the city
authorities the prOpriety of re-establishing
and strictly enforcing the sanitary measures
of last August and September, at very
early day. Those having charge of the sani-
tary interests Of the city are doubtless awake
to their duty, but we cannot forbear calling
their particular attention to this subject.

Cnnearninp Man.

Wonders at home, by familiarity, cease to
excite astonishment hence it happens that
many know but little about the house we
live in"-the human body. We look upon
man as we do upon a house from the out
side, just as a whole or unit, never thinking
of the many rooms, and curious passages
and the ingenious internal arrangements of
the house, or of the wonderful structure of
the man; the number, variety, intricacy,
harmony and adaptation of all his parts.
In the human skeleton, about the time Of
maturity, there are one hundred and sixty
five bones.
The muscles are nearly five hundred in
number. The length of the alimentary ca
nal is about thirty-two feet.
The amount of blood in an adult is near
thirty pounds, or fully one fifth Of the en-
tire weight
The heart is six inches in length and four
inches in diameter, and heats seventy times
per minute, 400 times per hour 100,S00
times per day; &c, TO, 900 times per year;
isis, 100000 in three score and ten and at
each beat two and half onnces of bloo1
are thrown out of it. one hundred and
seventy-five ounces per minute, six hundred
and ffty-six per hour, seven hundred and
three-fourths tons per day. All the blood in
the body passes through the heart every
three minutes. This little organ by its
ceaseless industry,
In the allotted span,
The Psalrnist gave man,
lifts the enormous weight of 276, ,796, 200
tons.
The lungs contain about one gallon of air
at their usual rate Of initiation We breathe,
on an average, 1900 times per hour, inhal
ing about 600 gallons of air, or $4,000 gal
Ions per day. The aggregate surface of the
air cells of the lungs exceed 10000 square
inches, an area very nearly equal to the floor
of a room twelve feet square.
The average weight of the brain of an
adult male Is three pounds and eight ounces
OF female three pounds and four ounces.
The nerves are all connected with it, either
directly or through the spinal marrow.
These nerves, together with their branches
and minute TamiicatiOns, probably exceed
100000 in number, forming a " body
guard" Outnumbering by far the mightiest
army ever marst allied
The skin is composed of three layers, and
varies from One-fourth to one-eighth of an
inch in thickness. It's average area of an
