 Clippings and Comments
 In several of the eastern papers wind communications from both male andEhale heads of families complaining of tE eser- wants, the difficulty of getting them re- taining them and the wages they he to pay. One pathetically says that thrsears ago we could hire common dorn,ics, washers and ironers, for four dolk a month and cooks for five; now he \ to pay eight and ten dollars These lte slaves are getting to be almost as valble as black ones. For this evil @ the.l proposes remedy as follows: To hi no servant who cannot bring a recomrnda- tion for a year past, and for emplop to fix reasonable tariff of prices, say fveol- lors a month, and pay no more. Thufor sixty dollars a year they require a Wte girl to drudge and clothe herself Iften sick, her wages stop and she has to oay all bills for medicine and medical fin dance. If the sickness is of long duratn, she is carted off to the charity hospital
 Another complainer, o the softer genr, has good deal to say about the inn rRi- hence of servants and their want of res pt tul demeanor. She proposes no rela,v but in agony asks what mistresses win 0 with these saucv servants.
 Yet another proposes the formation oa society where first class servants nav b.e their names enrolled and when tbo, situation may be enabled to ge, , ! dily.
 Among others, one, who calls himsela farmer, complains that the girls will notl out of the city to live, to milk cows, ral hay and do the labor about farm hous, for less than five dollars month. He rr- poses to starve them into it. Here isl part of what he says:
 |" If this state of things continue, eft people will feel it, in more ways than Oh If the farmer cannot obtain servants to mil his cows, make his butter, rear his chicken collect the eggs, etc, he will have less E, these things to send to market, and Il prices will be enhanced. And finally, tirn ing it impossible to obtain necessary hsl to conduct his business, he will leave t!u business, and become a consumer, instea of a producer, and thus still further enhan, pieces. myself think seriously of leaviu my farm, because of this difficulty in ol taining kitchen servants.
 Let your city people then, determine drop all false benevolence, and resolve tn hereafter they will neither furnish foo clothing, nor fuel in winter. to any healtl woman, however destitute of means, unle they have evidence (other than the me word of the applicant) that she has not T fused to accept the labor, fare and wages a farmers house. Then, but not till the will your city be rid of its useless popul tion. Then, but not till then, will the pr ducts of the dairy and farm yard be furnis ed at moderate prices"
 In other words, if these girls will not in the country to work for twelve or thirtet cents day, starve them into it.
 They have or had theater at Place vile, Cal. The editor of the Placervil Observer seems to have been annoyed the actions of some of the spectators, ar expresses his disgust in this fashion:
 "ILL BREEDING.-There is a species i'll bred boors who make it rule to appe, at the theater nightly, apparently for n other purpose than to annoy sensible pe' pie with illtimed idiotic giggling and jail being. If men knew how intensely col temptible they appear under such circun stances, they would either stay away altC gether or learn to observe silence. TT fool who will laugh audibly during tl most intensely exciting portion of a trag dy, deserves to be kicked out of decel company"
 As nobody in Little Rock does this V can copy it without being accused of "r | hection."
 In the Mobile Weekly Advertiser al News is an article upon the subject of art sian wells, from which we make the extrac given below. It appears that these we cost, in Alabama, from two hundred to fl hundred dollars each One of these wou repay the person having it bored in simple item of health alone. The mode boring these wells is described in the e tract given, and no doubt our ingenio mechanics could rig such an apparatus a put it in opperation from the descripti given. Taking the geology of the countl the dip of the different strata of rocks a other elements that enter into the calcul toin, it is supposed that water could reached here at distance of few hundr feet. A we'll in Alabama 700 feet in dep was bored at a cost of twenty eight cer to the foot. Says the Mobile paper:
 "In Dallas county of this State the cannot be less than p or 30 artesian wei which have cost their owners from $500 $500 each.
 These wells descend to depth of fro six to eight hundred feet, and all yield W ter of the most delightful flavor to those a customed to its use. On a sinole nlant
