THE NORMAL INSTITUTE FOR PHYSICAL
EDUCATION,
INCORPORATED in 1860, and under the management of
Dr. DIO LKWIS, opened its Seventh Session on the Fifth
of July, 1864.
The demand for Teaohers of the New Gymnastics has
become such, that the last two classes of Graduates, oon-
slsting of about ninety ladles and gentlemen, were at
once engaged, and hundreds more might find profitable
employment.
Well-known medical men assist tn preparing the pupils
to aot as guides in Physical Cultures'
In the department of Gymnastics, Dr. Lewis personally
trains every candidate for the New Profession.

for a fuH circular to Dr. Dio Lewis, Boston.

Charles Swain tells us in a musical song that
woman's first charming was done without words.
We don't belive we should like a dumb . woman,
however beautiful, for tf there is one thing more than
another that delights and pleases, it is the lively
chat of an intelligent woman.
Women Originally Silent.
When bright with woman's glance and grace,
Fair Eve to Adam's love was given,
He gazed upon ber beauteous face,
And thought that earth indeed was heaven.
Each day some new delight appeared,
Each hour some new attraction sprung.
And found each link of lite endeared—
At last he found that she'd a tongue.
Close hid within those ruby gates,
With all those pearly guards to screen it,
He heard her tongue—tradition states—
An hour or two before he'd seen it,
She teased, as only women can—
A power they've kept for ageB long;
Her plan was still the better plan,
Her tongue by far the better tongue.
Despite her oharms, that sweetly beamed,
Poor Adam thought, before a week,
Tbat though perfection else, it seemed
A great mistake to moke her speak.
Yet wis she precious to his heart;
And as for faults—wby, she was young;
He would not an atom part,
No—not a jot, except her tongue.
Summary of Wedded Bliss.—An exchange paper does it up in rhyme as follows:
God bless the wives,
They fill tbe hives
With little bees and honey!
They ease life's shocks,
They mend our socks.
But—don't they spend our money ?
When we are stoic.
They heal us quick—
That is. if they love us ;
If not, we die,
And yet they cry,
And raise tombstones above us.
Want to be Exesmpted.—A lot of preachers io
tbe State of New Jersey, having the fear of bullets
bejore their eyes, recently held a meeting and
passed resolutions petitioning Congress lo pass a
law exempting them from liability ot draft. Tbese
very preachers doubtless, bave preached
in favor of the war, bnt now that tbere
is a probability of tbeir being compelled to
smell powder, tbey ask to be excused. Tbe reason
they give is a fear tbat they "will be perverted
from religion by secularization." Heaven knows
very few of tbem should be exempted on this account. Tbey have quit preaching Christ cruoified,
and bave substituted Jobn Brown hung. No longer do they preach "peace and good will towards
men." Their voices have been for war, bloodshed
and pillage. Their hands are red witb the blood
of tbeir fellow men ; yet when danger stares them
in the face tbey "fear they will be perverted from
religion" by associating with soldiers. Oul npon
such oowardly hypocrites 1 Tbey bave been tbe
most persevering in their endeavors to bring about
the war, and now that war exists, we say make
them face the music, A musket sbould be placed
so that there should be no chance for them to shirk
duty. If the lives of men must be endangered, let
tbere be a chance for all, and let no hypocritical
war-orying preacher be allowed to shirk his duty,
because they "fear perversion from religion."—
Shonld they fall, tbe loss to the nation would not
be heavy.—Napa Reporter.
Tbe Lincoln Convention in South Carolina has
beeo held, and tbe following is tbe result. Tbe
New Orleans correspondent of the New York Herald says :
I forward herewith tbe resolutions adopted at
the Mass State Convention held at Beaufort on
Thursday last. Tbe call for the Convention invited the people of this State, "without distinction of
races or color,*' to participate in the election of
delegates to the National Union Convention to be
held at Baltimore on tbe 7th of next month. Tbe
consequence waB tbat abont 150 negroes aod two
thirds as many whites assembled at the Saxton
House, and after much noisy and acrimonious debate, seleoted twelve whites and four Africans as
delegates. The choice should hare fallen the
other way. By far the largest portion of the population in the "reclaimed" region of the State
are contrabands, and if they are to represent the
State in the Baltimore Convention, they should
bave justice done them at the start. I consider
that they bave not been fairly treated in this matter.      ,
Surgical Operation- asfster a Battlb.—The following passage from a recent letter writen after
one of the late battles, presents a striking piotnre
of a surgeon's duty on the field : "Day before yesterday Borne three hundred rebels fell into onr
bands. Of these 21 required capital operations.
They were placed in a row, and a slip of paper pinned to each man's coat oollar, telling the nature
of the operation that had been decided npon. Dr.
Morton first paises along witb a towel saturated
with ether, whioh puts every man beyond consciousness and pain. Tbe operating surgeon follows, and rapidly and skillfully amputates a leg or
arm, as the case may be, till tbey have been subjected to the knife and saw witbont one twinge
or pain. A second surgeon ties up the arteries ;
a third dresses the wounds. Tbe men are taken
to tents near by, and wake up and find themselves
cut into witbont tortnre, while a windrow of lopped off members attests the work. The last man
has been operated npon before the first man
awakes ; nothing oould be more dramatic, and no*
thing conld more perfeotly demonstrate the valne
of an anssesthetto. Besides, men fight better when
they know that torture does not follow a wound;
and numberless Uvea are saved tbat the knife
wonld lose to their friends and tbe oountry. Honor, then, to Morton and Jackson, the men who
opportunely for this war placed in our hands an
agent that relieves tbe soldier from untold misery,
and his friends from untold anguish.

Our Future Residence,
We give this week views of the foitifioations of
New York, Including Fort Lafayette, tbe latter
principally ^because we expect it to be our temporary residonce at no very distant time, and it is
useful for living men to view tbe ground where they
may shortly lie. The Illustrated News has already
been refused admission to Uie mails lo several di f-
ferent directions, and we bave received distinct
intimations tbat, nnless we chaDge our course, it
would inevitably land ns in tbat secure resting-
place, whose massive walls frown down on the
south side of the bay. These threats an not in
consequence of our sympathy witb the rebellion,
or of the radioal views we are known to entertain on the slavery question, tbey have simple
and sole reference to the feeliogB of hostility whioh
we have never disguised towards Mr Lincoln's
imbecile administration.
We look upou him as a weak, yet obstinate man
incompetent for his high office, temporizing with
traitors in arms, despotic towards patriots who
honestly differ with him in opinion, and dishonestly engaged in using the moans for bis own re»
election wbich ought to be employed in putting
down the rebellion. All tbese things we bave not
hesitated to say, aod for these things we are promised, not to be brought to judgment, bat to be
shut np in Fort Lafayette.
Almost tbe whole conntry, with the exoeptlon
of tbe office-holders, are engaged in saying tbe
things wbioh we write conoerniog Mr. Lincoln
and they urge a constantly stronger, and still
stronger expression of opinion—bnt they must
learn tbat it requires as much courage to oppose
Mr. Linooln in America as Louis Napoleon in
France. Let any public man try it, and he will
find a threatened loss of business, of reputation,
and of personal liberty.—Domorest's Illustrated
News.
Removal of Col. Bowman and Major Clitz, at
Wes* Point.—It appears from a reliable source
tbat tbe Administration at Washington did not
learn that the oration at West Point was to be delivered by General McClellan, until a few days
previous to that oooasion. Secretary Stanton,
with the advice and consent of President Lincoln,
immediately dispatched General Collum to West
Point to prevent McClellan delivering tbe oration.
Ou the arrival of tbat officer at West Point, about
two days previous to the eventful day, he informed
Colonel Bowman and other members of tbe committee that he was sent by Secretary Stanton, with
tbe authority of Mr Linooln, to notify them tbat
they most either select some otber man besides
McClellan to make tbe speech, or else abandon the
dedication of the monument. Tbe committee consulted together, aod after canvassing the question
over, satisfied Collum, as tbis affair was got np by
an association whioh desired to do honor to West
Point officers, they did not see tbat It affected the
War Department, and that Gen. McClellan bad
been invited and acoepted, and tbey would not
violate tbeir honor by going back on bim now.
They preferred to take the chances of removal to
that course. The day came, and McClellan delivered tbe oration which has electrified the conntry.
Colonel Bowman and Professor Clitz, the latter
Instructor in artillery and infantry tactics In the
Academy, have, in oonsequenoe of their refusal to
yield already fallen victims to Secretary Stanton's
party spite and malice against that gallant officer.
But this only increases tbe popularity of "Little
Mao," Many men who would not believe tbat the
Administration interfered with McClellan wben be
was at the head of tbe Army of the Potomac, now
declare that the removal of tbe West Point officers
has fully convinced them that the War Department
and tho Washington politicians determined to
prevent bis succeeding when in command of the
itmy.—N. Y. Herald.
The Wisass "Cigar" Steamers.—The latest
innovation in naval construction which has been
introduced from American yards, is the "cigar
ship," upon wbioh model Mr. Winans is having
built In a yard on the Thames, a very fine yacht
of about 500 tons. Sbe differs both from the
original "cigar ship" and her Rubian imitation in having two screws, one at each
end ; but ber shape is the same, exactly resembling a well made cigar, being perfeotly round
and tapering at each extremity. Snch a bold and
singular innovation upon the ordinary form of a
ship naturally excites much interest and curiosity
and of course criticism. Tbe critics are, however,
far from unanimous; some say that she will roll ter.
ribly ; others that she will not roll at all, owing to
all her dead weight being below the water line.
Thus far the professional and nautioal critics; the
oon professional scientific men point ont that a
billiard ball rolls because it is on a bard surface,
and tbat a ball does not roll in the water. Tbe
nautioal oritict further express doubts, os tothe
effects ofthe taper ends of tbis singular looking
vessel, which certainly look as if tbey would be in
a sea continually, under water. Mr. .Winans ie
confident of his success, however, and when ready
for sea, which will be la July or August, she is
to be taken round to Dover, and tbence across to
Calais, whioh is considered will be a good test of
ber capabilities. It Is also Baid that she will be
kept some time at Dover, in order tbat in the
event of very rough weather preventing tbe mail
steamers for Calais, aod Ostend proceeding, sbe
may be farther tested by taking the place of one
of them.— London Cor. Bulletin.
The True Sentiment.—The Dayton (Ohio) Empire says:
Tbe Chicago Convention rnhst pnt the party
Upon its true platform, or it will find tbe people
missing. Any attempt to commit the Democratic
party to the further prosecution of tbe war, either
by direot or indirect means, will result disastrously to the country. Tbe people are tor peace, and
will bave an expression upou that point. We can
all agree npon a compromise where priociple is
not involved. But honest men cannot compromise their principles. Therefore let it be peaoe.

above named States would give a Democratic majority and thus secure 169 electoral votes to tho
Democratic oandidate for President. In any event,
if there is any election at all, the Fremont ticket
will take more votes from Lincoln in each of thesa
States than any majority which oould be trumped
up against the Democracy. The two parties pledged to a free speech and a free vote will certainly
have power enough to defend their - rights against
any force whicb Mr. Lincoln can then control, and
if those rights are maintained the election of a
Democratic President is certain.— Democratic

The Nbw Mail Service).—We saw with pleasure
the departure of the U. S. mail yesterday morning
from this oity, oonneotlng directly several hundred thousand citizens in Idaho, Washington, Ore*
goo and Montana with the Atlantio States and tha
seat of National Government, There was no display, no hurrah ; everything was quiet as the neat
little stage and splendid male outfit travelled
from the contractor's office; but no one accustomed to peer into the future could gaze upon thai
start without hearing in the first orack of the whip
tbe announcement of anew epoch in mountain life.
Bat a few years ago the country we inhabit, and
for many hundred miles around, was an uninhabited desert—a wilderness. To-day we have instant
relations with all parts of the Union by the eleo-
trlo wires, daily communications to the east aod
west by mail stage, and now tri-weekly mail travelling facilities afforded us to tbe rioh mines of
Monotana and Idaho. Mr. Holladay will no donbt
honor tbe confidence tbat the Government reposes
In him, and while be runs his stages with "celerity,
certainty and security," to days and hours, be will
also open up and settle a new country that awaits
the hand of industry and skill.—Salt Lake Telegraph.
Mr. Tilton, of the New York Independent,
writes: Another of the hatreds of Maryland is Mr.
Seward, who, In his late appearance at the New
England kitchen of the Baltimore Fair, was so far
tbe victim of an unhappy babit as to have disgraced himself and insulted his friends, leaving bis
name behind him as a by-word and reproach, tt
fact wbioh would not be bere mentioned, except
during a storm some one ought to give warning
when a dreaded man's hand is on the helm.
"Life Long Democrats."—In a speech in New
York oity tbe other night, Channcy Bnrr said :
Daniel S. Dickinson, Lymon Tremain, John W.
Forney, etc, are In the habit of calling themselves
"life-long Democrats," just as JudasIscariot might
have strutted about with his thirty pieces of silver

Jesus.	
The New York Independent of recent date says:
We have reached that point in oar affairs when
we are willing to greet a black as a soldier. Wo

Bhall meet him as aa officer, a general, a ruler,
when we Bhall be as unmindful of color as we ara
nowof language.
The New York Times, an Administration organ, editorially admits that tbe Confederate Government has "run enough cotton through tho
blockade to arm, clothe and send into the field
an army of four hundred thousand men."
New England Generasls,—Tbe Albany Argus
says:
New England has given to the war tbat larcenous philanthropist and disgraoed General Neat
Dow, tbe coarse and rapacious Butler, and the
sleek and corrupt Banks. From the day ol Big
Bethel down to tbe disaster on tbe Red River
their paths bave been marked by calamities and
shame.	
Confounded Footi*-The Marysville Appeal attacks the people of the Catholio Church and says
"We bave never beard a Catholic bisbop or priest,
speak of slavery." •'This fact," continues the Appeal, oonfounds us." Hence, therefore, Wo nil not
to perceive tbe acknowledgment of a confounded
fool.—OM Piute.
