The WASHINGTON JAIL.-It is hoped
that the recent presentment of the Jail OF
this county for nuisance, will induce our
corporate authorities to move formally in
the matter. That is, to induce Congress
to take immediate measures for its re-
moyal. Our city increases so rapidly in
population, that itspresent location which
was sufficiently retired as late as ten
years ago, is now wholly unsuitable fol-
such an establishment. Though amply
sufficient then for requirements of this
community, it is much too small now for
'the proper custody of all who must be
kept there. Its plan was always failure,
from want of proper ventilation. The
site of the present Jail, with the grounds
appertaining to it, are now absolutely re-
quired for the accommodation of other
buildings for the public service; for those
which must soon be put up for the Inte-
rior Department. There can be little
doubt that sound economy requires the
removal of the Washington Jail, as soon
as possible.

How TO BREAK OFF BAD HABIT. :
The late Mr.. London, the celebrated
writer on gardening, &C., during the time
in which he was suffering so very severely
from the pain in his arm, found no ease
but from taking laudanum: and he be-.
came at last so habituated to the use of
this noxious potion that he took a wine
glassful every eight hours. After the
amputation of his arm, however, he wished
to leave off taking it, as he was aware of
its injurious effects upon his general
health; and he contrived to cure himself
by putting wine glassful Of cold water
into his quart bottle of laudanum every
time he took out wine glassful'of the
potion, so that the mixture gradually be-
came weaker every day till at last it was
little more than water; and he found that
he had cured himself of this dangerous
habit without experiencing any inconve-
i,ience. The process might have been
much quickened by taking twice or three
times a day, seven grains of Iodine of
Potassium. Any one taking the teetotal
pledge may be instantly relieved from
the sense ofphysical depression, by taking
the same remedy; which has itself no
stimulant of perceptible quality.
