MONDAY, OCTOBER 30,186...
EXERCISE AND REST.
The popular notion that, in order to
give rest to a brain overtasked with
thought and anxiety, It is only necessary
to give plenty of work to one's legs and
arms and all tho hones and sinews in
one's body, is the result of a funda
mental misconception of the functions
of the brain itself. There is no such
tiling as work of any description,
whether of head or body, which is not
actually brain-work. Tho brain is the
instrument with which the whole econ
omy of life is carried on; and wheiiwe
take to excessive walking and climbing
after hard reading and writing, we are
simply exchanging one form of exhaust,
ing labor for another, anil the brain suf
fers still. The details of life may be
classed under three divisions—we have
to think anil feel; wo have to digest and
exercise all other animal functions; and
we have to use voluntary muscular mo
tion. And the brain does it all. Brain
power is employed—that is, brain-power
is erjiended —ln each of these three pro
cesses; and whatever power is expended
in any one of the three is just so much ta
ken away from the vital jiowerof working
in either of the other two. His obviously,
therefore, madness to attempt to rccniit
an exhausted brain by violently taxing
its energies in some other form of
toil. There is but one remedy, and
that is rest; not stagnation, which is
impossible ; but such a repose from every
sort of exhausting work us will allow
nature to recover her energies and res
tore to the brain a sufficiency of vital
strength to resume its more activeduties.
In the youth and hey-day of life a good
natural constitution will stand almost
any amount of wear and tear with ease,
and without apparent mischief. But
the necessity for husbanding the resour
ces of the brain rapidly begins to force
itself upon the attention; and we learn
that the brain can only do one thing at
a time with any special direction of its
energies. It can only work hard, in
other words, in one way at once. Hence
the mischief of taking bodily exercise
imniediatelyaftei' dinner. Tbe simple
fact is that the brain is hard at work,
directing its nervous energy to the ope
rations of digestion, antl it lias no
strength left to be expended iv muscu
lar movements. For the same reason it
requires light and easy talk during din
ner and for some time ul'terward. In
sleep only does the bruin get its perfect,
rest. It ceases to think ;it ceases lo set
up voluntary muscular action; and it
carries on the animal economy of diges
tion and its accompaniments' with far
less activity Ihan during the waking
hours. Hence the dyspeptic effects of a
heavy supper just before going to bed.
It is more than the brain can bear. Peo
ple talk as if it was more than I hestomac!i
would bear; whereas the stomach is a mere
motionless apparatus until set to work by
the nervous power communicated to it
by the brain. It is a striking thing
again, that persons who are recovering
from illness experience a senseof fatigue
from simply being in the fresh airwhen
they first leave the house, though mak
ing absolutely no bodily exertion, and
though the fresh air is the best and all
health giving restoratives. No doubt
this is because the brain is at full work
receiving its accustomed supplies, rind,
being in a highly reduced condition nf
vigor, finds that the stimulus is as much
as it can bear, mid that even a fresh
breeze must be taken in moderation.—
For men who use their brains hard in
the way of thought the best possible re
storative exorcise is an easy ride on
horseback. The saddle is the seat of
health. Tho muscles of (Hi body are
called into easy play ; the mini! jn agree
ably occupied, but not excited: nnd the
nervous system is refreshed ami fed by
the rapid passage through tho fresh air.
Unfortunately, riding is an expensive
pmusement, and utterly out of the reach
of tens of thousitids to whom it would
simply be the gift of health and life.—
But whether we can afford to keep
horeesor not, there can be no doubt that
a little knowledge of, and attention to,
tbe simple law of life to which we have
briefly pointed, would be of infinite ser
vice in preventing'liard-workinir men
froi. ruinsng tbeir constitutions by the
ve_y means which they take to be infal
lible restoratives.
NORFOLK.
We cony the fi.llowing New York
Tribuneism. No other paper could pro
cure such news. It has all Ihe tone and
riog of a parson without a parsonage.
"For instance, was it not satisfactory for
the lsnfmne , s correspondent," exclaims
this creature, "to sleep in the house of a
pirate—or in icoiioiliation phraseology—
Confederate Admiral Semmes?" Why
yes, to snch v negro-worshipping,
Northern bamboozling im]iostor and
slanderer, it must have been "satisfacto
ry to sleep in the house of a pirate," or
iv the house of a bawd. We copy the
article, that those who know the negro
here, may read:
From Washington to the home of the
ancient Plug Uglie.i—from thence to the
domicilol'J. Davis, prisoner, patiently
awaiting pardon at Fortress Monroe—
aud from thence to Norfolk, whieli, ac
cording to the most elaborate exposi
tions of De Bow and Maury, ought to
have been, and wns evidently intended
to be, the London of the South—but by
De Bow's figures, Maury's himeiitations
and palpable facts, _ not— .by rail nml
steam; puff, puff; across the Inud,splash,
splash, along the rivers we went. I can
not halt to describe that der-repid victim
of the Slav. Power, poor ohl imbecile
granny Norfolk, who spends her feeble
breatli in sighing still for the system
which made her a municipal specimen
of what naturalists call arrested deve
lopment. She is just as stupid ns over
it was, asold-timeiy and out of time with
the century, and at war with the spirit
of the age." Officers, who have constant
communication with the citizens, say
that they havo learned absolutely
nothing from the vast events of the last
four years. They still spell colored
American citizens with two gs. With
evidence before their eyes in every street
of the industry of the- freedmen, they
loaf all day, and growl at the lit/.y nig
gers. Su.au i. buking . 11_ v:t-. modesty
Itself in contrast with the conduct of
these chivalry. The report of the Bu
reau ofl_c_r is, that the freednien every
where are eager, In and around Norfolk,
to go to work, wherever and whenever
their is a decent chance that they will he
honestly paid for tlieir labor, iiut they
are not willing to be cheated.
Yet, in spite of the fossil element iv
Norfolk, there are encouraging signs in
the midst of her. For instance, was it
not satisfactory for the Tribune 1 a corres
pondent to alee]) in the house of t_o pi
rate —or in conciliation phraseology—
Confederate Admiral Si'inmes? 1 did
that. It is now the beadq uarters of tho I
National Freedmen's Relief Association.
Still further, Northern enterprise has '
put its foot down iv Norfolk, and unless ■
compelled to move it by a premature '
restoration of the authority of traitors, it ]
will sunn sin nip nut of the soil there a
vast anil flourishing city, for there is no
site on the continent more happily situ- .
tiled for the bii'tliphit'.eol* tt new London '
than this saino still, drowsy, dull-eyed, I
dismal Norfolk.
The New York antl Boston Freed- |
men's Aid Societies, antl the American I
Missionary Association, have schools in i
Norfolk. In one of the churches in I
which a school is held, over the pulpit, t
■ neutly framed, hangs tbe Proclamation <
of Emancipation, and beneath it, the I
picture of a negro kneeling and kissing i
the handsof Abraham Lincoln. >
Five or six hundred—not more than I
sou colored children—are attending the i
schools in Norfolk. Lust year there were I
1,4(10, but many of them were fugitives, )
who have since left. The term has just i
commenced ; some of the teachers have
not yet arrived, and a number of private ,
or "pay schools" have been established I
by colored persons. The probable average '
of attendance for tfie coining winter is,
therefore, not yet ascertainable. The
teachers give the same report as to the
aptness of the negro children that 1 have
noted in my notes in Washington.
NEGRO TROOPS.
The New York Journal of Commerce
ltas not a very exalted opinion of negro
' Hoidiers, or negro regiments. In reply
to a Tribune article stating that this gov
ernment "found refuge against white
traitors behind _!0(),0(«) black bayonets,"
tin! Journal of Commerce says:
"The only men who 'found refuge'
behind the armed negro were the ultra
abolitionists, and they found refuge, not
from the rebels at the South, but from
the draft at the North. Massachusetts
hunted the nation through to li nil ne
groes to 1111 up her ipiota und save her
citizens fioin fultilling the Covernor's
, promise to throng the roads with voltin
. teers. Two weeks ago there was a ne
| gro regiment discharged in Boston.
. We came on in the train that
i after.;oon to New York, and we
I, are able to state on our personal
[ observation that a very large part
t of the men composing the regiment
. came ou to this'city and State to find
• tlieir homes. This was tlie only kind
f of taking refuge behind the negro that
, we or the people of this country know
anything about.
The simple, unvarnished truth is, that
the negro soldiers have been of no miiii
i oar of use to us in this war. Where ten
thousand of them have been used to ful
fill a purpose, one thousand or one hun
dred white soldiers would have been of
more value by far. We have conversed
with scores of returned officers and sol
diers, men of no political .aspirations,
whohaveseen the negro regiments un
der all conditions, and their testimony
is unanimous that the colored troops
were nowhere worth tlieir salt. This is
the uniform statement of every soldier
whom jvc have seen, who is not a politi
cal caiiuidate for some office. Jt is the
notorious verdict of all the most emi
nent officers of tho army.
As a matter of fact, the stories which
were published for political effect about
the bravery of these troops are known
to be fabrications. We have before this
allutled to the celebrated advance of the
negroes at Fort Wagner, which was rep
resented in such brilliant colors, the
poor fellows falling by hundreds on tlie
parapet aud under tin. works of the
fort. The fact is now well known that
they did not advance within some hun
dred yards of the fort, and their conduct
was simply ludicrous under: the lirst tire
they received. This is but v specimen
of the "historical verities" which polit
ical writers manufacture in times of ex
citement. It is not to be doubted that
the organization of negro regiments lias
cost the nation many millions of dol
lars, which were thrown away to grati
fy an ardent partisanship, or to save
those who advocated it from the draft,
and resulted in no adequate, return
whatever."

REAL "PHENIANS."
The following (which must relate
to the real Old Fenians) is from hand
hills iv the Bunks Collection, Britislt
Museum, A. D. 1784 and 1785:— ,
Irish (jUantm. -"The mostsurprising
gigantic twin brothers are just arrived
in this metropolis, and to be seen at the
Silk Dyer's, No. 2 Spring Gardens,
Charing Cross. These wonderful Irish
giants are but twenty four years of age,
and measure very near eight feet high.
They have had the honor to be seen by
the gentlemen of the faculty, Royal So
ciety, and other admirers of natural cu
riosity, who allowed them to surpass
anything of the same kind ever offered
to the public. Their address is singular
and plcasiti!*, their persons truly shaped
and projiortionate to their hei'uht, and
alliird an agreeable surprise. They ex
cel the famous Maximilian Muller,
shown in London in 1783 ; and the late
Swedish giant will scarcely admit of a
comparison. To enumerate every par
ticular would tie too tedious; let it suffice
to say that they are beyond what is set
forth in ancient or modern history.
The ingenious and judicious who have
honored them with their company have
bestowed on them the most lavish en
comiums, and, on their departure, have
expressed their sincerest admiration and
d-ltgnt. In short, the sight of them is
moie than the mind can conceive, the
tongue express, or pencil delineate, and
stands without a parallel iv this or any
other country. 'Take them for all in
all, we scarce shall look upon their like
again.' Prices of admission, for ladies

Amongst the Slonne manuscripts, in
| the British Museum, we find the sub-
I joined certificate:— "I, James Paris,
I have seen, in London, an Irishman,
i born uear Dubliu, who was seven feet
t eleven Inches high, without his shoes,
' or anything upon his head. Each of
- his shoes weighed three pounds two
,- ounces, I saw one ot Uis shoes measured,
which was one foot three Inches long, |
and ten inches wide. Une of his shoes It
held two quarts of water, and about li_.ll ?
a pint over." Also: "I, James Paris, I
saw a woman in Ireland, iv 16-0, who 1
was born at Portrush, not far from the 1
wonderful Causeway, in the most north
ern part of Ireland. She was then 1
twenty-three years old, aud stood seven 1
feet high without shoes or head clothes, |
very well shaped, with a very handsome j
face. In the year 1701 she was at Mont- 1
l_llier, in Languedoe, in France, at the j
time of the fair, where I saw her again,
Iteing shown for money, as she had been f
before in London. I, not knowing she
was the same T hail seen five years ,
before, antl though I was something ,
disguised by a periwig, which I did not .
wear in London, she remembered me j
perfectly well, and told me when ami
where I had seen her."
In the Loudon Daily Advertiser, of '
January the thirty-first, 175.1, we find
this announcement: "Just arrived in '
this city, from Ireland, Cornelius Me- I

the newspapers as the most extraonli- 1
nary production in nature, anil who is
allowed by the nobility and gentry, who 0
daily resort to sec him, to have tint most 1

only a boy, and is the only representa- li

Patrick (Jotter, born in Ireland in •'
17(11, was said to he eight feet si!veil n
inches In height; his hand, from the J!
commencement of tbe palm to the ex- f
tremlty of the middle linger, measured a
twelve inches, and his shoe was more
than a foot and a half long. He died in '
September, 18IXS, in his forty-sixth year. I
"Charles Byrne, the celebrated Irish I
giant, died in June, 17811, in the Cock- *

aged twenty-two. His death is said 1o 1

drinking. Mr. Byrne, about the month I
