The concessions Which hove recently been made by the Sultan to the Haysh's are, we fear, fimch exaggerated in importance by those Vvljo do not understand the condition of the Christians jn Turkey. The fact is, that Christians have, for several yi-ars'post enjoyed every advantage which is allotted to the Turks, while the restrictive lavrs of the Empire have been so interpreted as to exempt I hem from mililary duty and various so cial annoyances to which Mahometans are subjected. A significant proof of the light in which Christians in Turkey look upon the interlerer.ee ol ill* English and Frencli ia their behalf, is to be found in the protest ol the Arr'neniuns against* the late decree of the Sultan. The oily' Ar. menians, whose cruel jiersecutions by' the Turks have been wept over by our philanthropists, fofesee an end to their' monopoly of loans, tlio reversion of Government offices, and those' Hch picking* which they have hitherto enj Dyed ; and they consider the so called t!uturo " prj vileges" of Christians a by no means desirable result ol the present war.

ROBERT B A U R, X3 ooJi-Bliitior, Vjr(* F.ael Corner of Publu tud Aiaiu Sir re makers from the city, and still more by tiie miserable fashion platen, in our literature, that set forth the distortions of de« fortuity and disease as models ol taste and fashion. In our country towns, and among the industrial clashes, it will be lound that the taxation of core and labor on the brain of women is even worse and greater than it is in the same class of our cities. Tbe wives of rich formers are often ambiiious to carry out plans -of la* borand wealth with their husbands, while their daughters most be sent to boardingschool, nnd all the habits and tastes of city lite must, in consequence, be mingled with other cares. Tho great majority ol the American.women have tbier brain Mid nervous system exhausted by too muoh care and too much mental exciement in thier daily duties; while another class, who live to be waited on and amused, are as great sufferers lor want of some worthy object in lile, or from excess in seeking amusement. Next, there never has been any previous generation of children who have been so extensively deprived ot pore, cool air in nursery,school-room,and parlor us those now on the stage. The air tight stoves in bedrooms, the cooking stoves in kitchens, the close-stoves in school-rooms, and the far greater care taken to make windows and doors tight, have secured thii result. .Then the farnaces that are at generally used, keep the atmosphere ol I house far warmer than it ever becomea with open fires. For, when the body it warmed by radiated heat from a (ire, the air never becomes so heated a* 'when all warmth is to be gained from the surrounding atmosphere. And as tbe upper part ol the room is always warmest, both stovei and furnaces keep the head warmer that the feet, and,furnish to the lungs only a heated atino-phere to breathe. In formei days little girls took cold air baths all OVei their person whenever ibey went out. ft these days, they ayre coveid from all cool air, and they stand over registers and take hot-air baths when tjiey feel a have CilJJeet. Besides this, the school—rootnt are made tighter and heated boiler than ihey ever eouhl be in former days. A tbe same time they are crowded whti oo cupants whose brains, whHe struggling with bad air, are stimulated with intellectual drills and exciting motives to exertion, such as never Mere known to a formei generation. Little gwU are-especial sufferers in all that appertains to health. The) must be housed most of the time in heated and impure air, and then when allowed to go abroad, tliey must wear tMi slippers, and must not romp and ruu likC the boys. And then, as they coma to llu most trying and critical period of life, thC 'stimulation of brain increases, the eaer cise diminishes, and the monstrous fash ions that bring distortion and disease an assumed. In England, the higher classei rarely send a daughter to a boardiaf school, but parents secure teaohers toedu cate them home, and lal;tC the great-s pains to secure a healthy and perfect phya icHI dttvelopenienf. Twenty years ago, a distinguished med ical man gave it as his opinion that a mi jority ol school girls had mora or less o the ourvaturs of the spine.
