In Association Hall Friday evening
The first OF q series OF "medical talks" to
young men, under the direction OF the
Young Mems Christian Association, was
given by DR.. +. G. Seguin. his subject
being ''llygiene Of the Brain" DR..
Seguin said that while the inheritance
from parents Of q morbid brain might
one from many duties In life,
its possession ought not to be looked
upon q q source OF terror, nor should
tendency to mental disease or disorder
be allowed to stand in the way Of
choice Of vocation. One OF the original
conditions of . well.acting brain IS
freedom from early nervous diseases,
which occur during the first five or six
years Of life. The abnormal condition
Of the digestive organs is frequently the
cause Of cerebral troubles. GluttOny
stupefies the intellect, and man who
eats heartily is untitled for work for .
certain period afterward. The chief
error Of all men OF sedentary occupa.
tons Is that they eat too much vegetable
and starchy food. Physicians differ on
the subject, but it Is DR.. Seguin's ex.
perience that men who never get suffi.
cicnt supply Of oxygen cannot burn up
this amount Of carbon in this kind Of
food, and that in many cases nervous
prOstration is the result. Dyspepsia is
proyerbially known to affect the
brain, by . slow and insidious i'm
pairment Of the cerebral action
Multitudes blame their physicians
for not curing them Of dyspepsia, bu,
there are very few who have sufficient
self.control to abstain from tempting
dishes. Want of sleep is often the rea
son for brain diseases, but its potency il
producing insanity is exaggerated. Mar
cotics and stimulants affect the mind In
juriously. Many medical men believ
that wine and beer at meals have nu
tritious powers, but as . body they sc
their faces against the abominsble Cut
tom Of tipping for sociability or to
''toning up" One who Is given to thi
habit is liable to attacks Of insanity &

WASHINGTON LEITER.
4 Womaa's Rights Coaveation.
Washington, d. c., Jan. %, 1880.


"Oh woman, in our hours Of ease,
Deccitful, coy. and hard to please;
But seen too on familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
That certain women of brain and intelli-
gence desire and are fitted for other than
sentimental agitation your correspondent Is
almost persuaded 10 believe. During the
past week he has sat at the feet OF 4 woman's
rights convention; has listened to Mrs.
Cady b. Santon's choice rhetoric and per-
feet elocutiOn has seen that too conscious
professional pOscuse and beauty, Miss Phoebe
Cousins, pose and pirate brilliant emptiness
bv the hour; has seen the indeiatigable Old
war-nag Miss Susan b. Anthony, re-appear
on the platform. where years ago she first
arrested his childish admiration with proof
that woman could manage a deliberatlve
body with skill. tact and readiness not IN
ferior to that of Banks or Blaine Now
am quite free to admit that there is no proof
of ability in mere talk. and | have some
sympathy with the Indians who murdered
the Government Agent because he "talkee,
talkee too much, but for man or woman to
be ALWAYS able u say the right thing IN the
right place is proof of ability, OF better
ability than, with rare exception, We have
in either house of Congress. Mesdames
Anthony and Stanton say the right thing in
the right place. The younger bloods do
not. They are mostly untempcred, fire-eyed
haters of the cherished traditions OF the
sex: they never assume vertical position
before an audience but that they say fantas-
tic things. Miss Cousins publicly denounc-
cd a member of the Ways and Means Conn
mittec of the House because, forsooth, he
declined to occupy a scat on the platform
II a woman's rights convention, with no
better excuse than that his committee held
meeting at the same hour. The pretty
o3seuss would have the committee that
chiefly manages the business of 5O,OOO,OOO
people suspend a meeting in compliment to
her convention. Then she said that the
United States had recognized the pre-eml-
nent influence of woman in placing bronze
statue of q woman on the dome of the Cap
itol. 4 refinement ofthis logic should have
suggested to Miss Cousins thepre-eminent
recognition of the influence Of squaw, for
it is an ideal Indian girl that jeff. Davis,
when he had influence here, placed on the
dome as the Goddess of Liberty. Miss
Cousins talks more than she has read or
reflected "To a nuHAcry 90, and quickly
