NEVER RAISE A CHILD BY THE HAND
OR WRIsT,-It is common practice Of nurses
and parents to grasp children by single hand
or wrist, and lift them bodily, as in stepping
over cutters, streams, &c. Occasionally a
child is seized by the hands and swung around
with great force, the body being held nearly
at right angles. This feat is not always fol-
lowed by immediate ill effects, but it is liable
to result in most serious injury. At this pc.
riod of life, the ends of the lcng bones are
united to the shafts by cartilage, which rem
ders them weak and liable to be distorted BY
force. There are three of these bones in the
arm Que between the shoulder and the elbow,
and two between the elbow and the wrist.
The arm OF the child is therefore, very weak.
When extension is made at the hand the
force is not expended upon long, firm bones,
but rather upon bones broken at several
points, and very loosely united. A small
force, far less than is required to fracture a
fully formed bone, will separate the cartilage
nous portions, or permanently bend them.
There is also another form of injury which
may occur at the instant. OF this have seen
several examples. 1t consists in a slight dis
place nent of the cartilages in one of the
joints, either the wrist or elbow, attended by
pain, swelling, and tenderness. The joint is
fixed in a semi-fexed position, and the little
sufferer will not allow it to be moved or even
handled. 1t can be easily rectifed by sur
geon, by forcible iexion and extension. Fl
nally, by lifting child in this manner, the
ligaments about the joints may be extended,
and this will weaken the joints, and this
weakness may remain as permanent disabil-

POSTAL AFFAIRS WITH FRANcE.-The Post
master General has received Communication
from Senator Ramsey, now in Europe, in which
ne gives an account Of his interview with the
officers of the Postal Department of France,
relative to changes in our postal treaty with
France. Senator Ramsey finds the French
0mclals very difficult to move; but, though he
mas not an assurance of an agreement upon
the basis OF propositions from the United
STATES STATES 60, eminent, he hopes to succeed in per-
iectlng some material changes in our present
arrangement for the delivery of mails between
the TWO COMMITTEES. The French officers demand
-FOUR cents inland postage in France, whilst
they are only willing to allow the United
States two cents for the delivery of their mails
In this country. Notwithstanding our terri
tory Is fourteen times as large as theirs, they
seek to make US contribute in this way to the
payment OF their enormous subsidies to YES
seis Tor seml-monthly ocean service, for which
tne government of France pays $35 900 per
trip. The rate of postage, by the existing
treaty, Is three cents, each government paying
its own transportation. This treaty ends with
the present year.
Some complaint has been made be-
cause this matter has been placed in the
nands OF Senator Ramsey, as Special Agent of
the Postofhce Department, when, as is argued
II should be submitted to our Minister to
France for management. To this objection
the fostonice Department answers that the
service Is special one, belonging exclusiyeIv
10 the Postmaster General, and has been 40
regarded for over twenty years. Mr.. Hobby,
aoous tnat time, having performed similar SER
wee iof tnis country, as special agent, and that
IL was SO treated by other governments. as is
lnstanced IN the case of Mr. Trollope. who was
sent here by the British Government on like
duty about two years ago.
