HoMEslcKNEss AS A DISEASE.

The last published volume of the
Dict. de Medicine has an interesting
article on nostalgia, by DR.. II. Rey.
He regards it as form of insanity.
It is not often observed in childhood
or in advanced age. and is much less
frequent in women than in men. 1t
is most common in the young con-
script drawn from the country, who
enters the infantry; the town lad is
too much accustomed to change and
the hustle of life; while the cavalry
soldier is too much occupied to have
time to think over his separation from
the place where his affections are CEN
tered. NJ. Rey states that the men Of
Bretague are most liable to home
sickness, as many cases occurring in
those from this district as from the
whole of the rest of France put to-
gether. The symptoms of nostalgia
are. that the patient becomes sad and
taciturn, forbears TO eat. retires to
weep alone, and gives himself up to
long reveries of home. After time,
if he goes beyond this first stage. he
begins to bear the aspect of ill health,
and suffers from headache and sleep
lessness; and if the disease still adj
vances, delirium, prostration, diar-
rhea. and marasmus come on, termi-
mating in death. Sometimes, he
says, even old soldiers do not escape
the malady. 1t Is in hard times that
this occurs, when fighting has to be
done in retreat, and when other trou-
bles are added to the bitterness of de-
feat; when he feels himself forsaken;
when he is exposed to cold, is hungry.

IMMOBILITY VERSUS ACTIVITY.

Careless observers accept without
question the idea Of immobility. in
connection with the life and being of
plants, considering them rs only in.
tended to adorn the surface of the
earth, and please the eye with their
beauty, or as good for food and
medicine; yet due consideration of
the organization and phenomena OF
plant life goes far to contradict this
general Impression. Attentive OBJ
servers and profound thinkers have
drawn different conclusions. We
quote, to begin with, from the Cos.
mos" of the ilIustrous Alex Won Hum.
bolt: eff nature had endowed us with
microscopes powers of vision. and
the integuments of plants had been
rendered perfectly transparent to our
eyes, the vegetable world would
present very different aspect from
the apparent immobility and repose
in which it is now manifested to our
Senses" Charles Darwin also, in his
structure and Distribution Of Coral
Reefes,' remarks that our forests do
not conceal so many animals as the
lower wsedy regions of the ocean,
where the sea weed rooted to the
bottom Of the shoals. and the severed
branches of the fuel (sea wrack),
loosened Ivy the force of the waves
and currents. and swimming free.
unfold their delicate foliage, upborne
by aircells.
Baron Charles Won Reichenbacli, in
his valuable work on the ''Dynamics
of Magnetism" relates some inter
esting experiments on living organic
structures. demonstrating that special
manifestations of intense vital &C
tivity occur in plants. For instance,
coils Of stout wire were laid over a
Gala EDhiopird, a Pcldrgopium MOS.
chdtum and an Noe d>Dressd. The
wire became Immediately hot in the
hand of the holder, and at the same
time the point Of the wire diffused
cold wind. The Cdifd manifesto ed the
greatest strength. the Aloe the least.
while the Pefargoniup, moschdtum
always kept the medium, and 80 it
seemed likely that the measure Of the
strength increases in equal degrees
with the rapidity of the growth. The
Gala is quick growing. while the
Aloe is slow. II. Reichenbach also
discovered that entire trees produced
. total impression OF GOODNESS; and
plants in pots were mostly warm on
the stem, cool in the flowers. Trees
were cold near the upper end, but
warm near the ground.

Chas. Morgan was continued yesterda before
Judge Billings in the United States Circuit
Court The day was consumedin taking testi-
mony.
This suit is brought to recover wharfage
dues from Morgan, who, the plaintiff AYERS,
built a wharf on the Algiers side of the river

contract with the city, which gives him the
exclusive privilege of building wharves and
furthermore, that his contract states that
whenever new wharves are ordered by the
City Council, or are required by private par
ties, the lessee shall be paid by the parties re-
curing them 20 per cent of the. cost in adj
vance and the balance on completion of the
work. The revenues derived must first be
paid TO the parties ordering the wharves, in
liquidation OF the cost of the work paid to
the lessee, after which they shall revert to the
lessee during his term of contract, and then to
the city.
The plaintiff AYERS, furthermore, that Nor
