The Arr of Prolonging Life.

People generally desire long life and
good health. Sickness and premature
death are almost always due to violations
of the laws that govern our physical being,
and of which the masses are ignorant. 1t
men knew better they would do better;
but how can they avoid an evil that they
know not of? While efforts are made
through the public schools to give each
child so-calles common English educa-
ton, yet the children are permitted to
grow up and enter upon the responsible
duties of active life, profoundly ignorant OF
the structure of their own bodies, and the
laws of physical being upon which their
health and lives depend. They are sent to
school and GRAINED with arithmetic, gram
mer, and geography. by teachers who, in
MANY instances, have never studied ply
siology and hygiene, They are taught tc
locate the mountains and trace the rivers
of foreign countries, but are never laugh I
to locate the vital organs and glands Of
their own bodies, or trace the veins, arter
les, and nerves, in their various ramlhca-
tons. They are instructed Ia the flow OF
the tides, and the course OF the ocean cur,
rents, and the philosophy of winds ane
storms; but they have no correct concep
ton of the relative effects upon their healtf
of breathing pure or impure air, nor ha
their attention ever been called to the i'm
portance of keeping their bodies clean ant
healthy by regular bathing.
The criminality of such neglect in teach
| ing becomes apparent when we conslde
that the masses, ignorantly violating tn
laws Of. health, bring upon themselve
sickness, suffering. and death, that nigh
otherwise be avoided 10 this condition o
things we welcome into being any worl
that is calculated to impart to the masse
a knowledge of the structure of their owl

II is noticeable that Abram S, Hewitt is the
only Congressman that Tammany did not renomi-
nate.
Mr. 1ilden is right in getting wife. II is high
time for somebody to know what is going on in
that house of his.
Respectable northern democrats will be more
scarce than ever in the next House. The South
will send up more ex CoDfederstes than ever, and
will hsve an easier time than ever in controlling
the party.
The republcan-democratic combination for the
overthrow of the Tammany haticket in New
York, for municipal and county officers, have Sc
lected Edward Cooper "a son of Peter Cooper, the
philanthropist) as candidate for mayor and Benja-
min X. Phelps for district attorney.
All the comment the northern democratic jour
nails make upon the buldozing canvass in South
Carolina is the sneerng one that the republicans
have started the old outrage mill again. All the
republicans have done is to charge a systematic
plan of negro terrorziDg npon Hampton and his
party, and this charge is admitted to be true by
the Hampton organs. The northern democrat
runs, as usual, to toady to his Southern master.

to this effect are made in the adminlstra-
