HoNRoTATHY. Among the inventions
and improvements with which the day is
so rife, that made by Prof Humphreys il
not among the least. With all the supe-
riority Of the Homeopathic System Of Med
icino over that of the old school in its free.
dom from danger and the ease and pleas
antnoss with its medicines may be taken
or given TO children, it still remained nm
intricate system for the people to uso.-
From the fact that a single medicine is
given at n dose, and each applicable to
only certain symptoms, q large number of
medicines and n large book Of directions
became necessary in order TO their use.-
And what il worse, these directions are of
the most nice and discriminating charAc-
ter, so that often the longer one looked and
studied, the more puzzled he became, nor
could any amount of learned lumber, in
the way Of Domestic Manuals, explain the
matter.
At this precise point the discovery Of
Prof. Humphreys comes in. He nscer-
tanned, from repeated experiments, what
had been before denied, that certain medi-
zines in this system might be harmoni-
ously combined in n single remedy which
possessed, in good part, the advantages OF
each OF its ingredients, and upon this prin
oiple forms q series Of Specific Remedies
for each Of the more common diseases or
ailments. With these all uncertainty and
embarrassment in giving tho remedies is
avoided, and they may be properly admin
istered by any person of ordinary intelli-
gence. His improvement is certainly val
liable, and one which throws the benefits
of this beautiful and efficient system into
.he hands of the people, and must prove a
blessing to thousands. His Specifies are
spoken Of in high terms by those who use
them, and we can readily conceive must
prove a valuable addition to the comforts
Of a family.

Mhnt Ailed tle Telegrnnh

During the fortnight which ended last
Saturday night, the telegraph line between
here and Chicago wa so mysteriously in
teriercd with-so that no message could be
sent, aud all dispatches were sent by way
of Racine and Savanna. At first the
trouble was laid 90 high water somewhere,
but after the yarions streams subsidized, the
trouble continued the same as before. In
the day time, however, tho line worked as
well ms could be desired. After n week Of
search for the cause Of the break, it was
discovered last Friday evening, in the shape
of a long iron rod, which aminor Mt La Sale
placed against the wires upon quitting his
work. The rod was knocked down, and the
wire worked well enough. The miner was
warned that n repetition of such Il disposal
Of his working tools would result in trouble
to himself ms well as 10 the telegraph com
pany. lie was utterly amazed at the power
Of his rod over the wires, and thought the
telegraph was q "mighty quare thing to
be sthopped by the likes o that rod

life of tho engine is determined by the en-

InE LABOR WANT-In the South as throughout th,.
North, there is experienced serious OF labor
Just at the critical period when labor is most urgently
needed and at the very time when for reasons that
are quite unaccounable, there IL always to lie found
about the larger cities abundance of idles and per-
sous seeking employment II is so in Missouri Iowa
and lllnois-the same in Louisiana and Tennessee
and there is said to be this congregated at
the city Of New Orleans alone unemployed and able
bodied men enough to supply the immediate scarcity
OF help prevailing in the planting districts of Lou
isiana.
There is strange aversion the part OF many,
even OF those apparently predestined to their
living by manual toll, to the iaborious ayoeaton of
the farm, hand They seem to prefer the associations
OF town, even with starvation, beggary crime be-
fore them, to the sweat and dust of the cotton and
grain field. This number is by no means confined to
the negroes The coored people, especially since the
war, seem but to initiate the white in logged deter
mnation to evademenia service in the country any
sacrifice Of their real interests and hazard Of
rretrieTable ruin
At the same time, there 1nay be always found among
the unemployed elements of city population cer-
tain proportion willing accept almost any terms of
procuring liyelihood aud is frequently from the
want OF proper efforts the part of the planters
farmers and Others interested In the matter that relief
TO some extent is not derived from this source
As proposed in New Orleans it would be advantage.
Gus TO have legitimate, responsible organisation in
every large city, giving special attention to this mat
ter and to which the aborer in search of place could
apply with assurance of being fairly dealt by and
of ohtaiBg work at reasonable wages.
