THE NORMAI. IlfSTlTUTJE FOR PHYSICAL
EDUCATION,
INCORPORATED in 1860, and under the management of
Dr. DIO LEWIS, opened Its Seventh Session on the Fifth
of July, 1884.
The demand for Teachers of the New Gymnastics has
become such, that thelaBt two classes of Graduates, con*
eisting of about ninety ladies and gentlemen, were at
once engaged, and hundreds more might find profitable
employment.
Well-known medical men assist in preparing tho pupila
to act as guides in Physical Culture.
In the department of Gymnastics, Dr. Lewis personally
trains every candidate for the New Profession.
If any reader would know more of this pioneer institution in a new and noble profession, let him or her send
for a full circular to Dr. Dio Lewis, Boston.

THE   WORLD  AHD  YOURSELF.
Why do yon fold your bands, my man,
And talk of the world's neglect?
He wbo is brave and does bis best
Is snre of tbe world's respect.
What If your day has weary bees.
And darkness succeeds a while ?
Do like tbe sun—make light of it!
Tbe world will look aod smile.
Yon may be sure tbat no ill will
The world bears to yon or yours ;
Show but tbe proof ol wit and skill,
Or augbt tbat its praise secures—
Matters it not what creed yon own,
Nor wbat may be called your name,
Though it be Smith, or Jones, or Brown,
'tis fit for the roll of fame.
Honor nee'r comes to those who hold
Tbeir merit in low esteem;
Tbey must know best what they are worth, .
So even the world will deem.
Hold up your bead—yet not to seem—
That be which you would be thought ;
And give not the bonr to tears or sighs
Wbich may into gold be wrought.
Ont of tbe dirt of self distrust 1
And up! to your duty stern.
Plain as the day tbe troth appears
Tbat you have yourself to learn.
Failures are lessons ; care them well
Witb thankfulness ; for if wise
Tbese, the great Teacher's tasks, to learn,
Your fall shows yon bow to rise.
Fighting tbe  Tiger.
Fighting the tiger io Amerioa and India is widely different. Tbe following account of an actual
combat betweon a man and a tiger illustrates the
modus operandi of 'backing tbe tiger' In India :
A man entered tbe arena, armed only wilh a
Coorg knife, and clothed in short trousers wbicb
barely covered his hips and extended half way
down the thighs. The instrument which he
wielded in his right hand was a heavy bladei
something like tbe conlter of a plough, about two
feet long, and full three inches wide, gradually
diminishing towards the handle, with whicb it
formed a right angle. This knife is used with
dexterity by the Coorgs, being swung- round the
hand before the blow is inflicted, and then brought
in contact with the object intended to be struck
with a force and effect truly astounding.
Tbe champion wbo now presented bimsell before
the Bajah was about to be opposed to a tiger,
wbich he volunteered to encounter almost naked,
and armed only with a weapon we have just dis-
cribed. He was ratber tall, with a slight figure,
but bis chest was deep, his arms long and muscular. His legs were thin, yet the action of the
muscles was perceptible at every movement,
whilst tbe freedom of bis gait, aod tbe contortions
he performed preparatory to the hazardous enter-
prize in which be was about to engage, showed
that be possessed uncommon activity, combined
witb no ordioary degree of strength. The expression of countenance was absolutely sublime when
he gave the signal for the tiger to be loose ; it was
the very concentration of moral energy—tbe index
of a high aod settled resolution. His body glistened with the oil which had been rubbed over it
io order to promote the elasticity of his limbs.
He raised his arm for several moments above his
head, wben be made tbe motion to admit tbe enemy into the arena. The bars of a large cage were
instantly lifted frotn above ; a huge royal tiger
sprang forward and stood before the Coorg, waving his tail slowly backward and forward, erecting the bair upon it, and uttering a suppressed
howl. Tbe animal first looked at the man, then at
the court where the Rujah and Dis court were seated to see the sport, but did not appear at all easy
in its present state of freedom : it was evidently
confounded at tbe novelty of its positioo. After
a short survey, it turned suddenly round, and
bouuded into its cage, from wbich the keepers,
who stood above beyond the reach of mischief,
tried to force it, but in vain. The bars were then
dropped, and several crackers fastened to its tail,
whioh now projected through the intervals.
A lfghted match was put into the hands ofthe
Coorg, the bars were again raised, and the crackers ignited. The tiger now darted ioto tbe arena
with a terrible yell, and, while tbe crackers were
exploding, it leaped, turned and writhed, as if in a
state of frantic excitement. It, at length, crouched in a corner, snarling as a cat does when alarmed.
Meanwhile its retreat had been cut off by securing the cage. During the explosion of the crackers, tbe Coorg stood watching hia enemy, and at
length, advanced towards it with a slow but firm
step. The tiger roused itself and retreated, the
far on its back being erected, and its tail apparently dilated to twice the usual size. It was not at
all disposed to commence hostilities, but its resolute foe was not to be evaded. Fixing his eyeB intently upon the deadly creature's, he advanced
with the same measured step, the tiger retreating
as before, but still presenting its front to the
enemy.
The Coorg now stopped suddenly ; then, moving
slowly backward, the tiger raised itself to its full
hight, curved its back to tbe necessary segment
for a spring, and lashed his tail, evidently medi>
tating mischief. The man continued to retire, aod
so soon as he was at so great a distance that tbe
fixed expression of his eye was no longer distinguishable, the furious brute made a sudden bound
forward, oroucbed, and sprang witb a short sharp
growl. Its adversary, tally prepared for this,
leaped actively on one side, and as the tiger reached tbe ground, swung round his heavy knife, and
brought it with irresistable force upon the ani-
mal's hind legs, just above the joint. The bone
was instantly severed, and the tiger efieetually
prevented from making a seoond spring. The
wounded beast roared, bnt turning suddenly on
the Coorg, who had by this time retired several
yards, advanced fiercely ubon him, his wounded
leg banging loose in the skin, showing that it was
broken. The tiger .now excited to a pitch of reckless rage, rushed forward upou its adversary, who
stood with hia heavy knife upraised, calmly awaiting the encounter. As soon as the savage oreature
was within hiB reach, be brought down the ponderous weapon upon its head with a force wbich nothing could resist, laid open tbe skull from ear to
ear, and the vanquished foe tell dead at his feet.
He then coolly wiped the knife on the animal's
bide, made a dignified salaam to the Rajah, aod retired amid tbe loud acclamations of the spectators.
CHlef Justice Taney.
Mr. Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, has been
reckoned a good lawyer,whatever may be thought
of him as a statesman, or in any other capacity.—
Tbe rebuke administered by him to Mr. Sumner,
ta a recent debate in tbe Senate, for saying tbat a
deoision of the Supreme Court had disgraoed the
country was effective.   Mr. Johnson eaid: ,'
Now, Mr. President, I think, whatever may be
tbe opinion of the honorable member from
Massachusetts, or of any other member of tbe Senate, tbat, if there Is any department of the Government whioh, from the beginning of its organization to tbe present hoar, the publio in general
may be proud of, it It tbe judicial department of
the Government, as far as tbe Supreme Court constitutes a portion of tbat Department. And I am
not singular in-that opinion. It is necessary to
advert to what was tbe impression oi the people
ot tbe United States, tbe bar and Ihe public, during tbe days wben that tribunal was presided over
by Marshall, for the purpose of calling to the recollection of the Senate what I am sure Is fresh in
their remembrance, and to wbioh, therefore, tbeir
recollection need to be specially called, that tbere
was throughout the length and breadth of the
land tbe most implicit confidence, not only In tbe
integrity of every member of the bench, bnt in tbe
unequalled ability of all the members of the Court,
and especially of him who in publio estimation,
towered above the rest, John Marshall. And, although it would seem to be, perhaps, inappropriate, let me say to the honorable member from
Massachusetts that, much as he may now disparagingly think of the venerable man wbo presides
over the deliberations of that tribunal, and bas for
the last twenty or thirty years, he Ib not alone in
that particular. When his name was before the
Senate ofthe Doited States for conSrmafion, first
as Justice ofthe Court, and secondly as Cbiel Justice, his confirmation was resisted steadily, zealously, by, among others, Clay, of Kentucky.—
There was hardly an opprobrious epithet which, as
be told me bimself afterwards, he failed to use
against the nomination, and from a conviction that
the nominee was unfit, and would prove to be unfit
for tbe discharge of tbe duties of the judicial station. But I say it, and it is dae to the memory of
tbe dead, and due to bim who now survives,
tremblingly, his life having been protracted much
beyond, as we know, tbe ordinary period of human life, and who has devoted bimself with untiring energy, and witb exclusive devotion, aod witb
unsurpassed ability, to the duties of his station,
that, after he had been on tbat bench some four or
five years, and Mr. Clay had beeu the witness, from
having practised before him and read hiB decisions,
ofthe manner in wbicb bis duties bad been discharged, be, ae he told me himself, after hearing
an opinion delivered by tbe presiding judge, went
to his quarters to see bim, and found him alone;
be felt the embarrassment necessarily incident to
the object of his visit, and after exchanging the
salutations suited to the occasion, and being about
to leave bim, be took him by the hand and said:
''Mr. Chief Justice, tbere was no man in tbe land
who regretted your,appointment to the place yon
now hold more than I did; there was no member of
the Senate, who opposed it more than I did; but I
bave come to say to you, and I Bay it now in parting, perhaps for tbe last time, I have witnessed
your judicial career, and it is due to myself and
due to yoa that I should say lo yoa what has been
the result, tbat I am satisfied now that no man in
the United States oould have been selected more
abundantly able to wear tbe ermine which Chief
Justice Marshall honored."
And with tbe tears trickling down the cheeks of
both—I speak the words of Henry Clay—they parted; aod tbat opinion he continued to hold up to
tbe last moment that his life was a blessing to tbe
cpuntry.

Thb: Difficulty Between Mr. Voorhkks and
Mr. Chandler,—Having heard various accounts
of the difficulty wbich occurred last evening at the
National Hotel, between Senator Chandler of Michigan, and Hon. D. W. Voorheee, of Indiana, we
have taken pains to ascertain the facts and find
them as follows : Mr. Yoorhees and his friend,
Mr. Hannegan, were seated at the table wben Mr.
Chandler came in, and seated himself at a close
neighboring table, at which there were ladies
commenced a loud, violent, and profane abuse of
all Democrats, saying they were all traitors aDd
ought to be bung, ought to be in hell, were noi
fit to live witb, with other similar expressions. His
conversation was apparently directed to a gentleman sitting near him ; but he took the greatest
pains to show that bis abuse was for Mr. Yoorhees.
Mr. Chandler finally spoke of Mr. Vallandigham
and all bis friends, aod Mr. Yoorbees understood
bim to use his name in that connection. Mr. Yoorhees thereupon approached Mr. Chandler, saying,
tbat this conversation of course was meant for him
and asked Mr. C. to leave the room. Tbis being
refused, Mr. Y. slapped him severely on the face.
Mr. O. struck at Mr. Y., whereupon Mr. Y. was
caught by the bystanders. Mr. Hannegan th. re-
upon interposed, saying that this was no lime and
place to settle tbe diffiou ty. Mr. Chandler immediately struck Mr. Hannegan, which blow Mr. IX-
returned with a pitcher, which done some injury,
and for a few moments Mr. Chandler was very
ronghly handled by Mr. Hannegan. Mr. Chandler
ia physically one of tbe most powerful men in tha
oily.— Wathtngton Union.
Commissioners—Governor Low, P. H. Sibley and
Josiah Johnson bave been appointed by President
Lincoln as Commissioners to examine and report
upon the Pacific Railroad.
The METHoDrsT Church South.—Bishop Kavanaugh bas been released, beiug advised at the same
time to change the name of his church, because it
has a "secesh" Bound. That's right; and we sbould
like to know whether the name of South Park is
not a disgrace to a loyal oity like San Franoisco.

Verily are we noi free-born Americans? Hava
we not broken the sceptre of tyrants and overturn*
ed tbe rotten thrones of old despotism ? Shall we
not smash up the ampires aDd monarchies aod
aristocracies generally ? Yea of a truth we will
open the dungeon and snap the fetters of all creation. We will drive things chuck np to the bob.
The French, and the English, and the Rebels, and
all the rest of the world tbat won't look through,
our spectacles, shall become as dead oooks in tho
pit; they shall be euchred, and chawed np, and
discounted, and utterly cleaned out. Of a tenth wa
will rake down the pot.   Victoria!
We sball carry things with a high hand, and
have our own way. We shall think and say what
seems good in our own eyes, and others shall think
and say just what we please to allow them—for are
we not loyal? As to tbe foreigners and traitors,
and the chivalry, and the "sympathizers,'' verily
tbey shall be brought low. Tbe wicked, murderous, abominable tatterdemalions are utterly defiled
and have become a vain thing.   Selah!
They shall be blackguarded, and bullied, and
bowled at, and disfranchised, and sent to Alcatraz.
Of a verity they sball have a rough time of il generally.  Hurrah for Old Abe!
But for us wbo are "loyal," truly we Bball sit
under oar own vine and fig tree and enjoy tbe fat
of the land. Wbat with black-mail, and shoddy,
and the officesaad the contracts, and the monopoly
of the cash retail business in peddling patriotism!
and the "loyal" howling, we shall feather oot
nests and bave a good thing.   Jerusalem!
O Freedom, verily tbou art abully institution I
We love tbee more than champagne or ohoiseet
bivalves; we worship, we adore, we desiderato
thee; In fact we relish thee so exceedingly, tbat we are for going the entire swine and
keeping thee entirely to ourselves. Yerily we will
be free, and stow away the grand specie; bat as for
all sourvy rogues wbo belong nol to the synagogua
of tbe Shriekers, and hurrah not for Abe, as tiie
lord liveth they shall have no cash bat greenbacks;
yea, tbey Bhall sport the "bracelets"—they shall
stietohbemp!    Gloria!
Atlanta.—The following description of this
plaoe wbich General Sherman's army is now rapid*
ly approaching, or which he may even now have
captured, is from tbe New York Ezprett:
Atlanta, wbioh is the objective point of the
Sherman expedition, has a population of 26,000
inhabitants, among whom are a liberal sprinkling
of Northerners, who are tbe most demonstrative
aud extreme Secessionists^ the town. It is loi
cated in an elevated and salnbrious section of the
State, npon tbe dividing line in Fulton county
between the cotton growing and grain producing
regions, and is three hundred and ten miles front
Savanah, three hundred and seven miles from
Charleston, and cne hundred and seventy-five
miles from Montgomery (Ala.,) and one hundred
and thirty-six miles from Chattanooga, three hundred and twelve miles from Knoxville and seven
hundred and ninety miles from Riobmond.
Four railroads communicate with Atlanta and
form a junction tbere—the Western or Georgia
etale Railroad, the Macon and Western Railroad
and the Atlanta Montgomery Railroad. In the
Spring of 1850 John C. Calboun, on bis return
from the Commercial Convention at Memphis,
stopped several days in Atlanta, and predicted
that it would be tbe greatest inland oity of the
South, and at no distant day the , Capital of tbe
Southern Confederacy, the corner-stone of which,
he maintained, would be African slavery. Although the rebel Capital is at presentin Richmond
tbe publio sentiment of tbe South has already located it permanently at Atlanta, provided IheCon-
lederacy does not collapse. Tbere are qnarriee o'
tba very finest granite at Stone Mountains, sixteen
miles from Atlanta, on tbe Georgia Railroad, and
tbe people of that city determined, when "this
cruel war is over," to rear structures more magnificent than tbose of Greece or Rome, taQ as the
Tower of Babel, and more durable tban the Pyramids.
Atlanta is tbe great military depot of rebeldom,
and it is here tbat tbe naval supplies are stored*
Tbere is an armory at Atlanta, a chemical laboratory, and a sword factory. Shells, solid shot, siege
guns, field pieces and mountain howitzers, are cast
tbere. Percussion caps, cavalry saddles, artillery
harness, gun carriages, ambulances, army wagons
tents, and all tbe shoes and clothing for the Western Department, are made at Atlanta. Tbe army
turns out muskets of the Springfield pattern, and
rollingmills stretch the plates for tbe rebel ironclads. Large quantities of meat are packed tbere
for the army. It may well be termed the most
nourishing city of tbe Southern Confederacy,
though tbe first house was built there aa lately aa
1844.   	
Philadelphia, July 30.—The Bulletin's special
dispatch from Harriaborg to-day, says the rebels
are marching in three columns. It is believed In
official circles bere, that the rebels intend making
for Bedford county, and the mountains adjacent,
as a sort of general rendezvous. We bave not
learned whether tbe rebels are destroying or pillaging in tbeir advance. Tbe excitement here is
intense over the capture of Chambersburg and the
invasion ot our soil.
Baltimore, July 80.—Tbe rebels are supposed
to have cut the wires between tbe Monocacy and
Point of Rocks. Tbere ia little doubt but that tbis
raid is in force. The rebels are now operating ou
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
