WNW&MO /arsiff=..rateutsfirtow THE PHYSIOLOGY OF MOHNONISII. BY CHARLES B. FUBLEY, M. D. On a recent visit to Salt Lake I bad good opportunities fur observ ing and inquiring into the effects of polygamy, as practically exempli fied in the ease of that people.— While sojourning there I mingled much among them, visiting them in their homes, and seeing them at their public assemblies and places of business and pleasure; wherefore I feel qualified to speak of the results of their peculiar institutions, both in their social, physiological, and intellectual bearings. It is, howev er, chiefly as a physiologist, that I shall, at present, consider the sub ject, and in this view, I must say, the consequences of the Mormon sys tem, as we find them illustrated in the inhabitants of Salt Lake, are, in every aspect of the case, hurtful and degrading. A marked physiological inferiority strikes the stranger, from the first, as being one of the characteristic of this people. A certain feebleness and emaciation of person is com mon among every class, age, and sex; while the countenances of al most all ,are stamped with a min gled air of imbecility and brutal fe rocity. This, in fact, is their true character, they being obsequious and yielding to their superiors, to stran gers sullen and spiteful, while among themselves they are cold and unamiable. In the faces of nearly all one de tects the evidence of conscious deg radation, or the bold and defiant look of hardened sensuality, the women, with but few exceptions, shrinking from the gaze of a stran ger, as ir fully alive to the false and degrading pesition they are forced to occupy. Some seemed over whelmed with shame; others wear a forlorn and haggard appearance, while a few pat on a cheerful air, affecting to be satisfied with their sad condition. Without entering into minutiae, may instance the following as a few of the bodily peculiarities that strike the medical man in mingling with the inhabitants of Salt Lake City. Besides the attenuation mentioned, there is a general lack of color, the cheeks of all being sallow and cada verous, indicating an absence of good health. The eye is dull and lustre less; the mouth almost invariably coarse and vulgar. In fact, the fea tares, the countenance, the whole face, where the divinity of the man should shine out, is mean and sell tidal to.tbe point of absolute' nese. I have nowhere seen anything more pitiful than the faces of the women hero, or more disgusting than the entire appearance of the men. It is a singular circumstance that the physiognomical appearances ot the children are almost identical. The striking peculiarity of the facial ex pression, the arburunions types of constitution, the light yellowish hair. the blue eye, and the dirty, waxen hue of the skin, indicates plainly the diathesis to which they belong. They are puny and of a scorbutic tendency. Tha external evidences are numerous that these polygamic children are doomed to an early death, the tendency to phthisis pulmonalie beig neminent and notieablo The evidences of natural .degen eracy are wore palpable in the youth fill than in the adult population ; the evils of this pernicious system not having taken full effect upon the /at- ter. A more feeble and ill-looking race of children I have not. met with, oven among the vice and squallor of our larger cities. One looks in vain , for those sign* of constitutional Vigor and sturdy health common to i the juvenile portion of what may be considered a country town. So fat as food, climate, and other exter nal causes are concerned, the chit dren, as well as the adults here, are favorably circumstanced ; their sani tary conditions are generally good; wherefore we must look to the evils en rendered by their t eligious and so ciarsystem for the agents of this ph,ysleittl inferiority. In this system; the physiologist and moralist will not fail to detect the ample ceases for a decay even so marked and melancholy. That this is not a mere fancy, or the re sult of prejudice, I may say the , same impression has been made upon all who have ever visited Salt Lake City, and published their opinions on the subject. Indeed, we Ind, in all the instincts and habits of these people, full confirmation of the 'phys ical facts above set forth. They are as gross and vulgar in all their tastes, thoughts, and styles of $z press as In their bodily sweareeet . k.

WAYNESRMIG, ORME COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1863. The Mormon, with few exceptions, is km-bred and vulgar. Dancing is his favorite amusement —forming, in tact, not only a past time, but a part of his religions ex ercises. His conversation is of the most simple and commonplace char acter. His thoughts never soar above his aniusementk, or domestic affairs. He deals in the gossip and scandal of his neighborhood. The Mormons of both sexes, are an ill looking set, and when we have said that they are frugal, industrious, and contented, we have enumerated about all the virtues they can claim, or that we can conscientiously con cede to that wretched system of degradation known us Mormonism. More than two-thirds of the births are females, while the offspring, though numerous, are not long lived, the mortality in infatine life being very much greater, than in monoga mous society, and were it not for the European immigration, the increase would be actually less than in Gen tile comm-unities.--San Francisco _Medical Press. GREAT EATERS NEVER LIVE LONG. A voracious appetite, says Hall's Journal. of Health, so far from being a sign of health, is a certain indica tion of disease. Some dyspeptics are always hungry; feel best when they are eating, but as soon as they have oaten, they enter torments, so dis tressing in their nature, as to make the unhappy victim wish for death. The appetite of health is that which inclines to eat moderately, when eat ing time comes, and which, Vk hen sat isfied, leaves no unpleasant remind ers. Multitudes measure their health by the amount they can eat; and of any ten persons, nine are gratified at an increase of weight, as if mere bulk were an index of health; when, in reality, any excess of fatness is,. in proportion, decisive proof of existing disease; showing that the absorb monts of the system are too weak to discharge their duty ; and the ten dency to fatness, to obesity, increas es, until existence is a burden, and sudden death closes the history.— Particular inquiry will almost un varyingly elicit the fact, that a fat person, however rubicund and jolly, is never well, and yet they are en vied. While great eaters never live to an old age, and are never, for. a single day, withoutsome "symptom," some fooling sufficiently disagreeable to attract the mind's attention un pleasantly, small eaters, those who eat regularly of plain food, usually have no "spare flesh," are wiry and enduring, and live to an active old age. Remarkable exemplifications of these statements are found in the lives of the centenarians of a past age- FARMERS' ECONOMY. Farmers talk a great deal about economy. I know one man who will go three miles out of his way, over a bad road, to save a few cents at Lhe toll gate. Another, who is so economical of blacksmith expenses, that instead of getting a tire set at the right time, •will make it do week or two longer, and some dark. night will be found groping his way Lorne with three wheels and a .rail to his wagon, while a horse or two are unable to leave the stable on ac count of lameness, resulting from a misunderstanding of the word econ omy, as applied to the shoeing of horses. Many a man is so economical in the matter of boards for barns, stables and sheds, that be builds them every year of corn and hay.— This may be considered strange building materiars, but what 1 .state is true. Ilan animal is exposed to the storms and colds of winter, it will take one-half the food is con sumes to keep it as warm as it would be naturally in a good comfortable stable; the other half will just keep it along. So the half of the grain and hay is used for making a stable —expensive building materials, but this is not the economy, however. that I would recommend, nor that will pay heavy war expenses.—Rural New Yorker Gen. Lee's Estate. A Cotemporary states that some writers have erred in speaking of the Arlington estate, near Washington city, as having once belonged to Gen eral Washington.

The Rev. Dr. L--n, an eminent Seotch divine, and a professor of theology, was remarkable for ab sence of mind and indifference to worldly affairs. His mind, wrapped up in lofty contemplations, could seldom stoop to the ordinary business of life, and when at any time he did attend to secular affairs, ho general ly went about them in a way unlike anybody else, as the history of bis courtship will sham. lie was greatly beloved by his elders arid congregation; was full of simplicity and siucerity, and entirely unac quainted with the etiquette of the world. Living the solitary comfort less life of a bachelor, his elders gave him frequent hints that his domestic happiness would be much increased by taking t 3 himself a wife, and pointed out several young ladies in his congregation any one of whom might be a fit match or companion for him. The elders, finding all the hints had no effect in rousing the doctor to the using of the means preliminary to entering into a matrimonal alli ance, at last concluded to wait upo n him, and stir him up to the perform: antes of his duty They urged on him the advantages of marriage; its happiness; spoke of it as a divine institution, and as affording all the enjoyments of sense and reason, and, in short, of all the sweets of domes tic lite. The doctor approved of all they said, and apologized for his past neglect of duty, on account of many difficult passages of scrip ture he had of late been attending to; and promised to look after it the -first convenient season." The el ders, however, were not to be put off any longer; they insisted on the doc tor at once making use of the means and exacted from him a promise that, on Monday afternoon, he would straightway visit the house of a wid ow lady, a few doors from him, who had three daughters; and who Were the most respectable in the doctor's congregation. To solve any difficult passage in the book of Genesis, to reconcile apparent discrepencics, or denr up a knotty text, would have neon an easy and agreeable task fur the doctor, compared with storming the widow's premises. But to the opening of the sieve the doctor must go, and with great gravity and sim plicity, gentle reader, you can im agine you see him commencing the work. After the usual salutations were over, he said to Mrs. W n, "My nession have of late been ad vising me to take a wife, and recom mended me to call upon you: arid, as you have three find daughters, I would like to say a word to the eldest if you have no objection!' Miss W n entered ; and the doctor with his characteristic sim plicity, said to her: "My session have been advising me to take a wife, and recommend. od me to call upon you." The )oung lady, Who had seen some thirty summers, was not to be caught so easily. She laughed heart ily at the doctor's abruptness; Lint ing to him that; in making a sermon it was necessary to say something of it, to introduce the subject properly, before he entered fully upon it; and, as for her part, she was determined not to surrender her liberty at a mo ment's warning; "the honor or her sex was concerned in her standing out." This was all waste of time to the doctor, and he requested to see her sister. Miss B W--13 then entered; and, to save, time, the doctor said ; "My session have been advisin g me to take a Wife; and I have been speak ing to your sister who has just gone out of the door; and as she is not in clined that way, what would you think of being Mrs. L—n ? "Oh! doctor, 1 don't know ; it is rather a serious question. Marriage, you know, binds one for life, and it should not be rashly entered into would not consent without taking time to deliberate upon upon it." "My time," said the doctor, "is so much occupied, and my session have said so much to me on the business, that 1 must finish it to-day ill Can ; so you had best tell your mother to send in your youngest sister to speak to me." In a moment comes the honest, lively Miss Mary W - a. 'Coma away my child, it is getting on in the afternoon, and I must go home to my-studies. I have been speak ing to both of your sisters on a little business i and they have declined, 1 am a man of few words ; and with out mispending precious time, what would you think of being made Mrs. L—n ?' "Indeed, I always thought a grett deal of you, doctor, and if my moth er does not say anything against it, I have no objections." • The doctor left Miss Mary in a few minutis,.enjoining her to fix the day, for sky 000 would salt him - bat to send him at word the day War..

The mother of the young ladies was in such diffi culty with her daughters, that she was obliged , to tall upon the doctor himself to settle the dispute. She called and the reverend doctor, in his characteristic way; said "My dear Mrs. W n, I am very fond of peace in families; it is all the same thing to me, which of them ; and just settle it. among your selves, and send me up word." The doctor was married to the yonngeat, and ane at his sons is at this day a respectable clergyman "in the land of the mountain and the flood." FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE ON D AEI ROOMS. Florence Nighti ngale's "Notes on Nursing" contain the following use ful hints : "A dark house is always an unhealthy Louse, always an ill aired house, always a dirty house.— Want of light stops growth, and pro motes scrofula, rickets, &c., among children. People lose their health in a dark house, and .f they get ill they cannot got well again in it. Three out of manymegligencies and ignorance in managing the health of houses gen erally I will mention as specimens. First, that the female head in charge of any building does not think it necessary to visit every hole and cor ner of it every day. How can she expect that those under her will be more careful to maintain her house iu a healthy condition than she who is in charge of it? Secondly, that it is not considered essential to air, to sun and clean rooms while uninhabited ; which is simply ignoring the first elementary notion of sanitary things, andlaying the ground for all kinds of diseases. Third, that one window is consid ered crone) to air a room. Don't imagine that ifyou who are in charge and don't look to all these things yourself, those under you will be more careful than you are. It ap pears as if the part of the mistress was to complain of her servants and to accept their excuse—not to show thenr how there need be neither com plaints nar excuses made." 801WHIIIL Some western farmers recently addressed a letter to the American Board at, Boston, requesting informa tion from the missionaries in China as to the method of producing sugar from "sorghum," which was supposed to be Vie. source of the China sugar found in the California market. The inquiries were made and an answer was resolved, though not exactly what was expected All parties agree that the Chinese sugar is made from cane and not from Sorghum at all. Sorghum is extensively grown and used for various purposes, but not for making sugar. Such is. the substance of a statement made in the August number of the Missionary Ilerald: This fact casts some doubt uron the result of the numerous and costly experiments now made in the West to get sugar from this species of millet. The plant i 3 not a new one, but one which has long been known to the flora of the South of Europe. Its saccharine matter gives it great advantages fin. fattening ani mals when it is used as fodder, but that the juice can be profitably made into sugar seems• to say the least, very doubtful.

INTERESTING WEDDING ANNIVIZ- BABY. The Newark Daily Advertiser says: One of the oldest citizens of this part of our country, Mr. Matthias awstimay of Chatham, Morris Co., N. J., 'receiv ed from his children and near rela tives a very pleasant surprise on Wednesday ; . the 9th inst., the sixty third anniversary of his marriage.— By arrangement the parties met at the village railroad station at 10 o'- clock, and proceeded together a few hundred yards to the quiet residence of the venerable pair. By 12 o'clock the joyous guests, seventy in number, sat" down to a plentiful repast, spread under the shade of the trees. After the "cloth was removed," excellent speeches were made by Rev. Jos. M. Ogden, D. D., pastor of the Presby terian congregation, Rev. Geo. W. White, of the M. E. church, and by Rev. J. Sandford Swaim, pastor of the M. B. Church at East Newark— a son of the aged couple—from whose speech and from the interesting con versations that enlivened the scene, the following facts appeared, viz Mr. Swaim was born near the village of Springfield, N. J., on the 24th of April, 1770, Mrs. S.'s maiden name was Baldwin, daughter of the late Ezra Baldwin, of Springfield town. ship, and was born Dec. 21, 1782; they were married by Itev. Dr. Hill y-or, at that time pastor of the Pres byterian church at Bottle Hill, (now Madison) on the 9th day of Septem ber, 1800. Thus it would seem that the bashful bachelor of 30 years, had taken for his bride the timid maiden of 18 sunatrierS; and that on this oc casion, in the possession of very re markable health and the use of their faculties both f)f body and mina al most unimpaired, they had reached the sixty-third anniversary of that interesting event; the one in his 94th, the other in her 82d year ! On hig right at the table sat a sister, the widow of the late Isaac Potter, of New Providence, aged 91, next her another sister, the widow of the late Mr. Jonathan .Meeker, of this city, aged 89--and next her a qousin, Miss Rhoda Swaim, of this city, aged 81. On the left of Mrs. Swaim sat her. sister, Mrs. Davison, wife of Mr. Joha l Davison, of Chatham township, aged 72, and at her left a brother, David Baldwin, Esq., a well known citizen of Springfield township, aged 68 yrs. all of whom were present at the nap ceremoni s, sixty-three years ago As an evidence of his physical vigor and energy, his large and well cultivated garden, the very best in ' the village, all done by the labor of his own hands—gave abundant testi mony. it, was an object of great in terest to the admiring party. Thore are few families in the land that can present so romaikable a record.— One feature observable in the inter esting family gathering, was the pleasing fact that a large majority of the guests wore members of the Church of Christ, and members as we trust of the household, whose names are in Heaven. At the close of the Rev. Mr. Ogden's speech, he advanced to the seat of the old Chris tian patriot and placed in his hand a roll of "Greenbacks," which lie said had been lodged with him by the friends present as a token of their es- i teem and regard for him.

Camp once bit the baker who was brin,ging bread to the fami ly. I beat httn, and explained the enormity of his offence; after which to -the last moment of his life, he nev er hoard the least allusion to the story, in whatever voice or tone it was mentioned, without getting up and retiring into the darkest corner of the room, .vith great appearance of distress. Then if you said the ba ker was well paid, or the baker was not hurt after all, Camp came forth from his hiding place, capered and barked. and rejoiced. When he was unable, towards the end of bis life, to attend me when on horseback, he used to match foamy return, and the servant would tell him his master was coming down the hill, or through the, moor; and although he did not use any gesture to explain his mean ing, Camp was never known to mis take him, hilt either went oat at the front to go to the hill, or at the back to get down to the moorside.
