TIE VALUE OF STYLE.-Style means
such an arrangement of words as shall
make the authors meaning rise up in
the logical order OF the ideas, and thus
save tbereadeEall needless toll; such a
. choice OF phrase aud balance of clause
and structural grace of sentence as
shall satisfy the sense of beauty; such
propriety, economy, and harmony Of
EXPRESSION as shall tell the reader ex-
actly what the writer means, tell it
with business-like brevity and artis-
tic beauty. All these qualities char
acterize style of the highest order.
Style is, therefore, an expedient to
make reading easy, and. to perpetuate
the life of written thought. OF ali the
badly written books 1bequeathed by
past genera tons. none have lived but
those oftranscendent intellectual merit,
or those to which q supreme historical
value is lent by their pictures of van
ished days; whereas writing of,he Sec

green by the vitality of it's artistic

Sphero-Looomotion--Ereights to b

- You must have been somewhat
startled by the large illustrations given
In tho Now York papers, OF the ma
chinery for q new method of locomotion
and tsasportation. Using, to begin
with, the idea Of the pneumatic tube,
which has been approved by experience,
It employs globes or spheres, instead
wheeled carriages, az the vehicle
for containing the articles that are to
DO conveyed through the Tubes from
one place to smother. The propulsive
force ID atmospheric pressure, and the
velocity Of movement Of the globes is
estimated at two hundred miles in an
hour. It is proposed to connect the
most widely separated places with lines
of these tubes, 90 that not only will
New York be in sphere pneumati &c
communication with such points as
Boston and Philadelphia, but with Gin,
cinuasi. St. Louis-and San Francisco.
Nav. England will be able to establish
liaes the East Indies, Russia to the
Chinese ports. etc.
= II IL not only small packages that
are to be carried over the grea test dis.
tahees with extraordinary velocity by
these pneumatic spheres, but the bulky
products Of different -coutr,es-their
Erains. cotton. fruits and manufactured
Koods-w;H be shot from ono locality
to another. A Cincinnati merchant
can order his goods from New York in
Che forepoon and have them delivered
to him in the afternoon. A New Eng
land cotton manufacturer can order a
hundred or thousand bales of cotton
from New Orleans IN the morning land
have them delivered al. his mile before
the evening Of the same day: London
goods will be shot to Bombay in day,
and Hong Kong goods will be.shot to
St. Petersburg as quickly.
The project is certainly an astound-
ing one. Il seems like an other of those
progressive steps in the development
of meanso Of locemotion, transportation
and Communication which pre-eminent.

The LABOR QUEsTIoN.-Mr.
j. w. Only has just returned from
Virginia, where he went for the
the purpose of procuring hands.
He succeeded in securing only
twenty-seven, all of which he
brought safely. Most of these
hands are men. The cost of get
ting them here was $1106, about
81 per head. He contracts with
them for one third of the crop, he
furnishing everything except
clothing and doctors's bills, de-
Quoting the cost of transportation.
Mr.. Only informs us that he had
much difficulty in getting hands.
The Radicals wish to use them
in the coming spring election,
and persuaded them that his
statements were false as regards
the wages to be made here. He
thinks when those whoare brought
to the South convey information
back to their friends, that there
will be no difficulty another season
in procuring any number ofhandS.
Parties from the sugar parishes
were in Richmond offering $50 a
month, $40 if the laborers feed
themselves South Western.
