Chicago, informs us: | have had occasion
to thoroughly test the qualities of st. Jacobs
Oil upon myself and my family, and have
found it the best and most effective remedy
of the kind ever known. In an aggravated
case of swollen joints, where inflammation
was causing intense suffering, its power
was especially remarkable and not only
brought relief but permanent cure. It
gives me pleasure to thus testify to its
merits.

Admiral Hall, of the British navy,
says that while commanding a naval
vessel at Hong Hong, after divine ser.
vice had been performed one Sunday on
his ship, and the sailors were at rest,
his intelligent Chinese pilot called his
attention to the fact that work was going
on on shore as usual, and said, 'Your
Joss (God) is better than our Joss, for
he gives you holiday and rest one day
in seven. and We have only one day in
the year-on New Years Day." The
admiral, in recent address to working
men, clinched the fact by adding, "And
this is the case. Just picture working
hard from morning till night for three
hundred and sixty-four days, and only
one day of rest, and then prize the Sab

ANOTHER NEGRO EXODUS.

New York Herald: According to a
southern newspaper the negroes are
again smitten with the western fever and
many of them have already started for
their new homes. A Memphis journal
says that five hundred left Huntington,
in Tennessee, a few days ago with the in
tention of settling in Kansas. and small
er parties are reported TO be on the march
in other sections. When this black mi
grafton first manifested itself it was gen.
orally believed that it was in a great
measure engineered by Republican
politicians who by colonizing colored
voters aimed to overcome hostile major
titles in certain districts and in that way
influence national and state elections
which were then approaching. 1t Is
hardly probable that agencies of this
character are now at work, so that the
new hegira must be accounted for upon
other grounds. A portion of the negroes
IN the south are evidently dissatisfied
with the existing conditions of society
there and are leaving il because they
think they can do better elsewhere.
What the motives are that are lhus in
fiuencing them to leave warm. genial
climate like thai of the south
where life is SO easy and pleas
ant, we will not undertake &c
say The purely partisan organs
will probably declare that they are fee
ing fr,u, nolitical nersecution and a an
cial bondage as bad as slavery. Thi.
charge may or may NOS be true. One o.
the chief needs of the south is labor
and 1t is not h good omen of the future
that its laboring classes should be leav
ing il. If the southern people are wis
they will investigate this exodus ques
tion, and II oppression or injustice exist
