THE ARrOF 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, ami of which the masses are
ignorant. Ii 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 pub
lie schools to give each child a so-csIled common
English education, yet tue 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 be
upon which their health and lives depend They
are sent to school and crammed with arithmetic
grammar and geography, by teachers who, in
many instances, have never studied physiology
and hygiene. They are taught to locate the
mountains and trace the river, of foreign coun-
tries, but are never taught to locate the vital or
gans and glands of their own bodies, or trace the
VEINS, arteries and nerves, in their various ramif-
cations. They are Instructed in the How of the
tides and the course of the ocean currents, and
the philosophy Of winds and storms; but they
have no correct conception of the relative effects
upon their health OF breathing pure impure
air. nor has their attention been called to the
Importance of keeping their bodies clean and
healthy by regular bathing. The crimlnality
of such neglect iu teaching becomes apparent
when we consider that the masses, ignorantly
violating the laws Of health, bring upon them
selves sickness, suffering, and death, that might
otherwise be avoided In this condition of things
we welcome into being any work that is calculat-
ed to lmpalt to the masses a knowledge of the
structure of their own bodies, the laws of health
and the Importance OF observing those laws. We
find DIR. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Ad-
wiser TO bejust snch work. 1t is physiO log ical
and pathological, aud the ma or part Of 1t should be
converted into q textbook ior the use of common
schools Its careful study will enable the healthy
to preserve their health, and the sckly to regain
their health. Every parent should read it, and as
their children become of proper age instruct them
in the all important truths II contains. Were this
done, much suffering and premature death would
be prevented, aud many youth saved from life
of shame and llcentiousness The book conta ns
nearly thousand pages, is profusely illustrated
with colored plates and wood. engravings, and can
be had by addressing X. V. Pierce, NJ b. Worlds

take recess 10 allow the democrats time to finish
the caucus. 1t is doubtful whether q Quorum bad
voted during the first call but when 1t was finish
Ell some fifteen or twenty democrats arose, and AS
they were recognized, one by one recorded them
selves In the affirmative. The movement gather
ed force, and before the vote was 40 need near
ly every member on the floor had voted The
resolution was carried by the astonishing vote of
2l5 IN the affirmative to 2i in the negative.
Perhaps the most crushed individual in the hall
was Mr. Finley OF Ohio, who in connection with
Mr.. Springer of Illinois, was perhaps the most sc-
tiso OF the original revolutonists. In common
with the majority of hi. party, he lodged the
first call of the roll When his party associates
began to give way, and record themselves Ia fay or
OF the resolution, Mt. Finley walked down to the
front, and beIng recognized, filed emphatic
aud spite iul mo Then, with shrug OF con-
tempt, he turned his back and walked up the aisle
again the bald spot the back of his head, about
the size of tade dollar, seeming to glistcn with
the rage which filed him. When, however, the
movement became a rout, Mr.. Finley again arose
and, amid the cheers and jeers of the republicans
made a request to change his vote, and piping out
feeble aye" he refined to probable oblivion.
Mr. Springer stood hls ground, and voted an
emphatic and ostentatlous no. almost the last
recorded. lie was heartily and unanimously
congratulated by Mr.. Cook OF Georgia.
The democrats had been completely outgeneral-
ed, and the question to be settled was how to re
cover their lost ground. The great tide of public
opinion which has swept like mighty wave over
the country, has had telling effect upon those
representatives who would be revoluuonists if
th, y dared and the outcome of the Potter Com
mttee investigation has been OF such an unsatls-
factory character to them that they had about
made up their minds to allow the judiciary com
mittees report the Maryland resolutions and
the kmluel bill to be made to the house and be
passed
hir. Hartridge, who had prepared this report,
was to have presented it to-day; but two members
OF the committee who did not sign 1t, Mr.. Proctor
Knott and General Butler, had requested that the
report be postponed until tomorrow, in order that
they might present al the same time their dissent
ing views. But the report of the judiciary com
mttce aud any vote OF the house upon II, coming
tardIly along day or two after the adoption Of
blr BuI chards resolution, would place the demo-
Gratis IN ridiculous position, and nothing rema in
ed for them TO do, the leaders Immediately per-
ceived except to put their own resolution through
Immediately after that introduced by the gentle
from Illinois. Al best, very much of Its eff
feet was destroyed by the superior tactics of the
republicans, but when they walked up 10 the fact
that they had beeu outgencraled, the democrats
made the best of the unfav vorsbe position in which
they were left, and passed toe Hartridge resolu-
hon by majority even greater than that by which
they agreed TO one introduced by Mr. Burchard

The Portland Advertiser remarks, in rela-
ton to our denial Of the falschood contained
in its columns that the representative of Mr..
Blaine at the late meeting of the State Com
mlttee presented and argued in favor Of a
proposition ignoring the financial question
in the party platform this year that it does
''not intend to raise a question of yeIacity
upon it. As the evidence of the State
Committee who were present would very
quickly dispose of the ''questIOn Of veracity,
if raised, the Advertiser is very prudent in
not raising it. To help itself out of the
predicament in which it appears, it sug-
gests as an apology for the talsehood which
it published, that we have editorally sugges-
tel the ignoring of the financial question in
the party platform this year, and that Mr..
Baine's "recent course touching the financial
question certainly has not been reassuring."
As what the Advertiser says of us and the
party platform is not true, and as the Adyer-
tiser never did see anything ''reassuring'' in
Mr.. Blaines course in Congress, its attempt
to apologize for its ialsehood il quite as bad
as the original fabrication.
