~ Free Negroism in jamaica has redu-
ced That beautiful Island to very miserable
condition,-if we may judge by an article we
copy from the Kingston Journal (edited by
colored man.) The industrial resources of
the Island are going TO absolute wreck and
ruin for want of laborers. The government
is making aloud call for "hands" to work on
the panthionsA and has established or is
going to establish, agencies for hiring the
needed help, in Europe and the United States.
Government loans are likewise talked of, to
offer inducements to emigrants.
Thus, notwithstanding the extensive i'm
portation of Coolies from Asia,-there is yet
u good deal more work to be done in Jamaica
than there are hands to do it with. Or, rath.
er, more work than the indolent, unthrifty.
unenterprsng free negro can be coaxed to
perform. There is population enough on
the Island to cultivate every square inch of
it, without necessitating the Importation of
single laborer from abroad but the diff
Guilty is, that the constitutionally lazy nature
of the African is all averse TO those habits of
industry which can alone develop the resour-
ces of the Island.

CURE FOR THE BlTE OF Map Doo.-A
writer in the National lntcligencer says that
spirits Of hartshorn Is a certain remedy for
the bite Of ulad dog. The wound, !, he adds
should be constantly bathed with it, aud
three or four doses, diluted, taken inwardly
during the day. The hartshorn deeouiposes,
chemically, the virus inslnuated into the
wound, and immediately alters and destroys
its dels,eriousness. The writer, who resided
in Brazil for some time, first tried it FOR the
bite Of n scorpion, and found that il removed
pain and inhamhiaton almost instantly
Subsequently he tried it ior the bite of a rat
tlesnake, with similar success. At the sug-
gestion Of the writer, an old friend and ply
sician tried 1t in cases Of hyd.sphobia, and

AN IMPORTANT FAcT.-The editor of the
Horticulturist gives his readers this fact
which ought to sink deeply into the minds
of the American people: ,.-..s
at cannot be too often repented that the
tendency of our people is too much given to
nonproducing employments. Ease of body
is sought beiore cheerfulness of mind. Sed-
entary occupations are not so heallhful us
those in the open air. Ii statistics nre to be
believed, it is residents of the country who
enjoy the greatest amount of physical health.
Cities notoriousy depreciate even the human
stature. An attentive observer for forty
years may safely say that in cities families
rapidly run out and disappear-the only per-
manent ones are the landholders.
