THE RIGHT TO LABOR. A letter from Lord
Brougham appears in the London Atlas, in when
he aludes as follows to the question OF the "rlght
to labor" now under discussion in the National
Assembly OF France:
How such pledge can be redeemed; how any
government can undertake TO find work for all
who want it; how, II workshops could be estao-
Iished, the line can be drawn between those VINO
really earn their pay and those who only want
their bread-no one has pretended to explain.
Every one must, therefore, be aware, whatever
some debaters may affect to believe, that the linz
it of the power to employ labor, whether the state
or individuals be the employers, must ever be
the effective demand for the produce OF that la
Dor; and that the number of men wanting en-
ployment in order to earn wages, and wages in
order to buy bread, has no earthly connection
with the power of employing, paying, feeding :;
that in short, there is all the difference in the
world between the place suiting the man and the
man suiting the place.

E<Y9 The SLAVE Trade is as brisk as ever, and
OF the nautical men recently examined by
the British committee on this subject, give the
opinion that no amount OF naval force will extir-
pate it, Some recommend that the captains of
every SLAYER taken shall be hung at the yard arm.
The trade is now carried on along region of
about eight hundred miles of the African coast;
and Captain Matson, after visiting portions OF the
coast, going seventy miles into the interior, states
that the majority of the slaves exported were not
captured in wars expressly undertaken for that
purpose; that those wars very seldom or ever took
place south OF the equator, and that nearly one
half the slaves were children or young persons
sold by their parents. Out OF 1858 slaves cap
tured by HIM 1893 were children, a very great
majority of whom had been sold by their parents!

TROUBLE AT MARTINtQUE.-An arrival at

Unique OF Oct. l. to the effect that the authorities
had arrested some nineteen negroes Tor depreda-

were under trial for the offence, when about
1000 negroes assembled together near the Court
House, and demanded their release. This the
authorities fused, and ordered them to dispense

The planters have chartered several vessels to go
TO the British West India Islands and procure
laborers. If this should not succeed, they say
their crops will all perish. The duties have all
been taken off American flour and lard, which is
imported in French vessels.

WHOLESALE EXPERIMENTATION, 1t was sta
ted recently, by Rev. Mr.. Chinguy, in public
meeting at Montreal, that he had list of fifteen
families, once among the wealtiest of Montreal
who have all been destroyed by intemperance:
Their aggregate fortunes, few years ago a.
mounted to 100000. Now they have disap-
peared entirely, root and branch, solely through
the influence ofintoxicatng liquors. He had a.
mother list Otfonrteen families, OF various occupa-
tons, whose aggregate fortunes amounted to SI
200 900, who have also disappeared from the same
cause; and another list of five hundred and seven.
teen families, who resided in fourteen parishes,
and were all once comparatively wealthy, but are
all now destroyed by liquor, except remnants
scattered through he States and else where. 1t
is thus that intoxicating liquors destroy the hu-
man race.

CURE FOR MISUNDERSTANDING, some time
since, by railroad from Columbus to Baltimore, |
took my seat Immediately in front OF gentleman
who was suffering under paroxysm OF hiccups,
to degree that had never before witnessed -
In lew minutes person appeared from the
other end OF the car, and took seat beside him,
when he said, " Sir, can you tell me what is
good for the hiccups' l have been afflicted in
the way you see me since yesterday noon, and
have had no rest, or relief from physician TO
whom applied for assistance am worn out
with suffering" To whom the person replied,
" Sir, will cure you in less than two minutes
by your watch. Have confidence, for am sure
that | can do it. Hold up, high above your head,
two fingers of your hand lean back in your seat,
opening your mouth and throat, so as to give
free passage to your lungs; breathe very long
and softly, and look very steadily at your fingers"
In less than the time specified the cure was per-
formed, one hiccup only occurring during the
trial. The patient could not express his graft
tude; while the practitioner only exacted from
him, as fee, the promise that he would extend
the knowledge which he had impaired, as freely
as he had received it, assuring him that he would
never be disappointed in the result.
We were all struck with the fact, and MANY of
us considered that the stranger was sent by the
appointment of that power, so often designated
as particular providence. Since then, / have
often had occasion to practice upon patients in the
same disorder, and never without the most signal
success"

from the steamboat which brought him to this city,
from the Barracks, his path was beset with thousands
of admirers. Each one wished grasp the warworn
veteran by the handeach to look for at least
upon the features of man, who, in the boodiest
fights in Mexico, preserved unrufed countenance.
The dense mass crowded around the old man brave,
and the air was filled with the shouts ofthose who
babe him "welcome!" A near relation of the old
General was walking with the worthy Alderman
of the First Municipality Council. A stout old
fellow who looked if he had gone through the wars
kept nudging, and eIbowing his way through the
crowd, when at last the Alderman told him to
desist.
Sir" said the Alderman, don't you see that the
gentleman who is hanging on my ar u is aged and
infirml Why do you crowd us solr
Cant help it boss" exclaimed the intruder, as he
threw his hat into the air, can't help it, Must

eral without delay, after which, he went 'hs way
