There are probably more cures for sea-
sickness devised i'm any one year than Of
any other ailment under the sun. The
latest attempt In this direction is based

duce an artificial smallpox, which wards
of tho real disease; and similarly, IL we
can produce mild seasickness on shore. IL

immunity will be secured at sea. The OBJ
iect OF the proposed cure is TO initiate
the rolling OF ship, and thus have a
swing calculated TO produce exactly the
same internal sensations. II IL claimed

One would suppose that Monday would
be the most busy day Of the week at home
for farmers wives, aud that what little
time they had to spare would be gladly
used IN sitting down and resting. Yet Of

inborn desire or whim 10 "be out" some
where that day. Perhaps they do il TO rest

Editors Of the Providence Ne,cs
Any effort or any undertaking that has for
its object the broadening of TIT. mind and the
exciting Of thirst for knowledge, is to be
commended. Travel, more than any other
thing, will accomplish these objects. and the
proposition of the News to aid some one OF lis
readers in the requirement of useful informa-
tion abroad, TO be disseminated among tie
people Of our State upon his return, appears
10 be particularly interesting and laud able.

nate, 1. G., IL he is the possessor of an evenly
balanced mind and has sufficient intelligence
TO warrant the belief that he will present inn
partial and readable pen-plctures of the result
OF his enquiries and observations, then the en-
terprise OF the News will surely not be in vain;
it must be productive Of much good. l cer-
tainly trust that such will be the case.
