CDAIRvorANcE AND MAGNETISM In DISEASE
The power Of clairvoyance in perceivng the eau
ses of the diseases which af1ict the body and the
power of magnetism in removing those causes, are
becoming we'll understood facts. There is plain
philosophy about it, conclusive, and easily to be
,comprehended. Thus all disease is disturbance
of the harmonious circulation of the spiritual or life
principle. Clairvoyance, or spiritual sight, per-
ceyes and points out the Heterogeneous and suggests
the remedy; magnetism is the usual and most eff
fectual remedy because it is the Iie-prirciple in
one individual directly operating upon and aiding
the fe-principein another. Our popular practice
of medicine is nothing more than effects admins
tering to effects, and usually without any effect
whatever, whilst this practice is cause laborng di
reetly With cause, and producing corresponding re-
suits.
This mode of discovering and treating disease is
becoming common throughout the country. We
perceive at Milwaukee, that Drs Pratt and How.
ard the latter the clairvoyant, have entered on its
practice. The reign of drugs we feel confident is
drawing to close, to be superseded by treatment
which shall restore health byremoving the cause of
disease.

The Conrse Of Comnerce.

The London Times, in concentrating on the
news from California, throws out the following
suggestions for the benefit of its monev-fnarkets
readers:
"The momentous fact, which nothing can now
do away with, is that 300, 900 or 100000 Anglo
Saxons are settling themselves on the shores OF
the Pacific. A new world is before them. They
look across TO China, Japan, and all the riches
of the Indian seas, and the use they will make
of their opportunities may be best inferred from
what they have already accomplished, and from
the known aspirations which the people of the
United States have so long directed towards tina!
region. Already the presence of large num-
Der of Chinese is distinctive feature of the pop
ulation of San Francisco, and already the Sand
wich Islands, Australia, and Southern and Gen.
trail America have been called into new life
from the traffic that has been established The
prophecy of Humboldt that the activity of COM
merce would be carried progressively from east
to west, is rapidly in process of fulhllment AT
present, however, there are few signs that even
this fact is appreciated in Europe, and the thing
to be apprehended is, that when in the course OF
few years, the successes arising from it shall
have led to excitement, our people, who are re-
CARELESS of it now, will then rush furiously to
oyerdo what should have been done moderately
and deliberately from the first. It is TO prevent
foolish extremes of this sort that every endeavor
should be made to familiarize the public with con-
temptation of the change that is coming on, anC
to induce the spirit of enterprise TO adjust Itself
to the new order of things while it can nationally
and pro6tably do so, instead of waiting to regain
by sudden and destructive rush, tine opportu
mites that will have been lost through inatten
ton.

A year or two ago there was a good deal pub
lished in the London journals, pro and con, about
the Electric Light, which was said by some to
be the greatest Illuminating invention or discov-
cry ever announced, and by others, to be false
light, or sort of ignis fatuus; and these last
were nearly correct But the thing does not
end so. A new method of producing electric
light has been patented by Mr.. Altman, which
he calls Voltaic Light, and is 10 be produced
from voltaic battery, and furnished TO the con-
sumer at an infinitely cheaper rate than gas, as
soon as certain not unmanageabe ESQ called)
difficulties are surmounted; which are, that the
yoltaic light is subject, yet to intermittent
uscations and chickering's and varatons-in fine
does not as yet, shine steadily. These difficult
ties are to be overcome, and then he that stitch
in darkness will do 50 because he does not love
the light, for electric light is then to be but lit
tie more expensive than sun light, and much
more easily obtained than this last is in London
where it is in general not be had for love or mon.
ey, and when got, is of avery dim and dismal
quality.
The voltaic light can be conveyed by wires
from the manufacture, and as easily as gas car
be by pipes, and is resolved into light as needed
by FASTING to the ceiling of room very thin
silver pate-as thin as tissue paper--which is to
be painted, (white, we presume,) and as the e.
ectricity comes in contact with it, beautiful
and refuIgent light is produced, so gorgeous and
intense that plate of no great size will reflect
light equal to two thousand candles! So says
the patentee.

u We would suggest to the GAINESVILLE Ca
kettle, that whatever may be our views of the
true nature of money and the position it should
properly hold, it docs not affect the present
question of usury and usury laws. Present
questions must be decided with some reference
to present conditions, and whether money in it.
selfis right or wrong, necessary or unnecessary,
is not under discussion, but whether under lis
present recognised character, it should be re-
stricted in its sale or use by usury laws. We
are confident that the position we assume is true
that money in itself has no intrinsic value and
that properly and legitimately it neither can nor
should draw any interest whatever, but that by
no means furnishes us, nor should furnish any
one, with reason for prescribing II per cent
per annum as its exact value. AS matter of
present policy as well as with reference to the
ultimate recognition Of the true nature of money
1t s better that it should be unrestricted in the
commercial world Money is by no means the
only unnatural and untruthful material which
has recognised intrinsic value in the CONNER
cial affairs of the world tits safe to say, that
large portion of the articles which go to make
up the commerce Of the world are not only use
less but worse than useless for any good to the
race, but no argument in favor of prescribing
the value of such commodities can be drawn
from that fact. Snch enactments simply make
a bad matter worse and render confusion more
COMPOUNDED. These things, so far as possible,
should be left to themselves. If let alone they
will work themselves into their true position and
find their true value, a condition they never can
or will attain as long they are forced from their
natural operation by restrictive laws.
