Lki't-Hano Wiimmi.—A left-hand writer in the Hoientiflo American givea some reasons why it ia hotter to writo as ho does. Tho hand is never in the way of vision. The pen-point Ih al ways in plain Right, and so is the papor to be written on. There is, consequent ly, no iuduooment to stoop forward to turn tile head so ns to throw tho eyes out focus. It ia a common fault with who write much that the left onvoriod auc^ wmip<Mml r lo VunjU itself to nearer viaion. In writing with tho left hand theae evils are avoided. An upright posture ia the easiest, and the eyes nro equally distant from 1 lie paper. A iisn-KKKi'RR gives this plan to pre vent a swarm of bees from getting away from tho itive, with tho statement Mm* after ten years' experience ho luia novor known it to fail but once. Ah soon as they show tho first symptoms of swarm ing stop up aomo of the outlets to the hive no an to foroo thorn to a outisidor- able time coining out. Tho swarm bo- ing made up in part of young bees, many of thorn unable to fly well, and, as tho swarm can do nothing until all are out and flying about in tho air, by prolonging their exit tho feeble ones become tired, and, finding their plana frustrated, they alight to arrange their journey. If thoy can leave tho old hive at onoe they earn very little about alightiug.

Tho papers east toll us that Mr, Ovington, a well-known Brooklyn mer chant, has tiled a petition for tho di vorce of his daughter, Mrs. Hpiers. on tlio ground of hopeless imbecility. Miss Ovington, it seems, a few years since, having graduated with high hon ors at Packer Institute, was ash-red in to tlio social world with fairest prom ise. Alas, Dio old story of ovor-tnxnd immature brain repeated itself and those n uhappy symptoms appeared whloh only developed as timo went on. Tho child of woaltliy parents, sho doubtless received every attention which affection could suggest or money command— travel and rent, sea-bathing and moun tain air, various diversion by land aud water—all to no avail. As a lust ro- sort, "she won married to her present husband," Comment is hern taken up by the pa pers on Dio inability of tho female mind to cope with tlio more difficult, abstruse collegiate studies; an old tlicmo, aud still worthy of considera tion, notwithstanding tho prominent exceptions to tlio contrary. But the novelty oi the filial attempt to minister to a mind diseased must givo us pause. Any new sooial experiment demands close and respectful attention from tlio possible importance of its results. If man’s power become to developed by Die execution of the marital boud that he can recover for his.wife a lost reason why wo ought to know it at oneo, be fore wo send any more girls to tho lu natic asylum, or suffer young men to idlo away single lives, while their agen cy might he such a useful one. It was a hold experiment to mnkc, for thorn was a disugrcenhlo acknowledgment in ovent of failure, and in face of experience that was almost inevitable. Hometimes there is decided improvement physically brought about by marriage. Eccen tricities are corrected by husbands of tact like Botruohio ; wives aio brought to reason, but who ever heard of reason being brought to wives? It would in deed bo a haiipy oondition of things could one mind l>y constant sympathetic intercourse lure hack another whioh Imd tttkon flight. Worthy would ho tho cause for saorifloo, and beautiful tho no tion of its devotees. To our sorrow, tiioro is no such encouragement. Mar riage seems to bring out imbecility rathe, than to slay it. In these days of laced waists and high heels, girls not only pay tho penalty of a mother’s folly, but borrow largely on their own noconnt. We regard them with wondur as night after night they trend the measures of tlio inir/.y, way past tho smallest hours, riso iu tho morning to nay calls or shop, and to put saddle* horses to severe tests in tho afternoon. A young hum is completely deonivod, for this wondrous ondurance ooohch after marriage as though that were tlio one grand blow which swept away all props, (lermati llgures of a domestic out won't answer ; the illusion is over when there is no prospect of changing partners.

Timo was when wives oouhl givo ample ovidouco of affection nnd backbone combined, whon tho witty fruits of Weinberg tri umphantly .boro off their husbands from tho belongurod oity. A follow would stand a good ohaneo now of bo- ing loft to tlio tender meroies of Krupp's oann m for aught his hotter half nould do to help him. Yes, tho imbecility most often exhib its itself in lack of energy and strength, iu poor management of husband, children and household ; lmt there isn’t always tho kind father iu-law to step in with his petition of divorce. Had tho effort succeeded, the oonso- oneuoi a might have boon startling in the extreme. There would have been such a rush on tho eligible young man as was never known. Marriage would ho justly known ns tho true Pierian fount, mid tho artiolo husband drive nil other tonics out of tho market. A mot In r would regard thorn critically i h she might the jars iu a drug store, whilo tlio father would count them as so much off his doctor’s bill. Iu short, they would cease to occupy tlio simply ornamental position of to-day and ho considered thor oughly useful iistho universal health io- stilror. Stock would rise, and plenty of those now ready to sell out at u mod or ate llgure would hold off for higher bids—terms in proportion to serious- ness of ease. It might pay to orgnnir.o a joint stock company, with every bus- band warranted. But tiioro was only failure to chroni cle, and the young man's chances aro as poor as over. One consolation must ho, that ho who weds it wealthily in I’udua isn't of necessity happy ;* and that should wo ov»r have a case pre sented which will test our gallantry as sorely m( Miss Oviligton’H, we must leave tho gate open for graceful retreat.

Mr. Mathowson, of Connecticut, fur- nisho* tho following statistics : Oi fourteen flocks without hells but otie escaped; iu live flocks with bells on each sheep no damage was done. Mr. 1). Fowler of Middloilold had a flock partially belled, aud lost but one slieop, which strayed into another lot, was without a bell, and was killed. Mr. A B. Ooo bought a Hook and put in a lot adjoining the former, nnd aoou found two dogs at work at the forty-fifth sheep. Tho dogs belonged within a quarter of a mile, and passe I Mr. Fow ler's sheep ia getting into Mr. Goo's flouk. Dogs, niter getting tho taste of blood of unboiled sheen, may attack sheep with bells on ; y, t 1 believe if all sheep were belled, trouble from dogs would l>e very rare. Tho great difficulty has been to get bell* which did not wear the strap i ft*. lDUs with shanks to pou- otrato the strap will wear it off iu a few weeks.

It will bo rcmcraberod by Mio renders of the Appeal that we, some timo ago, published a full account of tho won derful development and powers of Mrs. Miller, a young married woman who for some months oocnried with her hus band apartments in tho Gnyono house. Wo related tho story of her advent into spiritualism, and recited hor pro gress under the advice and mnnipul* lion, ns sho and hor husband claims, of tho spirits, aud of tho singular mani festations, unexplainable, npon any scientific hypothesis which wo wit nessed nnd vouched for as plainly visi ble to 110. A few weeks since, much to tho dis appointment of the Spiritualists of Memphis, who uro a largo and infiuen- tial class, many of them notable for their culture, intelligence ami high standing in the community, Mrs. Mil ler left Memphis for the north, and is at present sojourning in Chicago, whore sho has nt onco taken high rank ns tho ablest and best of ull the physical me diums of tho country. The Times, most impartial authority, tolls tho story of her progress and triumphs in that oity in this way “After Chicago had sucked 'mind-reading* lemon dry, more than a year ago, and given accounts of the phenomenon to tho world through tho Times, New York has just captured the young man Brown, nnd is making groat ado over him. Columns s printed in the papers, learned savnns report on his wonderful abnormal devel opment, and tho wiscuores genera'ly snake their dubious heads. Chicago is ready to confess that Brown is quite a curiosity. Having db.eoverod him, so to spoak, it would hardly he fair to go lmck on him, but he is no longer a marvel in the light of later diicoveries. Ho may still l>o tlio eighth wonder of the world for slow-going Gotham, but Chicago is prepared * to do hotter— iu faet, discount him. For several weeks past people of all sorts, in eluding skeptics, physicians, scion- lists, professional ami business met: have been astonished, liut to say edified, by tlio inediuinistic exhibition givot through tho organism of a young mar ried lady, Mrs. Miller, of Memphis, Tenu., now holding seances ut the rooms of tho /leliyio 1‘hilosophical Journal, corner of Adunis street and Fifth avenue. Mr**- Miller is a lady about twonly years old, of slight form, with uxprea- sivo, winsome features, in n porfect gen llewoni hi in do|>ortTnout, and so far ai certtfii phases of tho phenomenon arc ooncerned, that are exhibited in hoi presence, fraud is simply out of the question, for the wliolo experiment is, so to speak, looked in the visitor’s own mind. Iu the case of the young man Drown, hidden objects were discovered by taking the luiml of tho party having secreted it, placing it over his eyn previously blindfolded, and then leac ing the party to the object. .But in h ease it was necessary that the perse with whom ho was Vhus placed r/i ra/>- port should plneo his mind intently and uudeviatingly on the object or tli* poriment did not suooeed. In the of Mrs. Miller this prerequisite in not onllod for. Oil the contrary, she allows tl»« vUitqy to think of two objects at tie same time —or, rather, take two ubjooti in tho mind, and. having dooided oi them, may dismiss them again—nnd she will find them, und at the same tiiuu give a test through this very operation. Thus the visitor is requested to ask a mental question -one Involving a tost— and toko iu his mind two objects, tlio one to stand for 'no' and the other for ‘yes.' Taking the visitor’s liuml she will proceed to one of theso objects, never failing to givo the test. To illus- truto : A gentleman thought of the head of his oano ‘for yes,’ a distant ob ject iu tho room for 'no,' and asked tho montal question : Have 1 a brother living in Chicago? Tho lady took him to his oano in a trioo, and tho gentle man, explaining his question and the object* lie bad taken iu mind, confirmed that ho had a brother living in this oity. Iu the course of nn evening scores of suoli experiments aro made, and so far as tho writer's observations go, they never fail. Bo muoh for Mrs. Miller's mental ex periments. Ho physical experiments aro oven more wonderful uml just iu much above suspicion, ’llaviug magnet food a small table by passing hoi hands over the top and along the legs, she turns it on its face, ami then quests any gentleman present to turn it buck, to stand it upon its logs, simply allowing her to place the tip of her Hu ger upon nuy part of it. Bootes of stal wart men have pitted tlioir full strength against tho little Huger of this little woman, hut have ignominiously failed. Even four men, whou the “ power" has been strong, have combined their strength, ami failed as well, though generally the table is broken in the fort. Il is a very inteiestiug cx| rnent. While the stalwart man iH ing to set it on its legs, tho table absolutely float all over the room—-that in to say, it is continually trying to get away from the lady’s antagonist, and will carry him about, now hero and uow there, ami will genet ally sustain a posi tion over his head. The momdnt the sensitive removes her hands the table becomes docile, nnd allows itself to be set properly on its feet, the same as any other well regulated piece of family furniture. Another phrase of Mrs. Miller’s wo- diumship is slate writing. The visitor is allowed to bring his own slate- double-locked slate if he ohoosea—a when the medium lias In Id it nude: tablo,{intelligent answers toqnoatioue other tests aro invaiiably foun l wii ton on the inside of the locked slate.

When hands wero securely tied, sewed and sealed together, iron rings, chairs, coats and vests are put ou her persou so quickly that absolutely no time is consumed.' Conceding that she was not tied at all, but was free to do with her hands a* she chose, she could not manipulate three large chairs as they aro manipulated in her pro once.

Thcro never w as a truer axiom ntterod than that which couples Bulan's name with idle hands ; und pareuts who have bovn to bring up should never forget this. A great many boys nro mischiov- ons aud vicious simply beonso their ac tivities aro not directed in proper chan nels, and for thin their pnronts nro the only ones to blame. The boy who has a sled, possibly of his own making, nnd a pocket knife, who has skates for the winter and kites for the summer, who has his own garden patch and garden- tools, his own juvenile library of hucIi books as he loves, his favorite pet aui- mmls, is almost sure to bo industrious, happy and free from vioo. If be shows an aptitude for drawing, pencils and drawing-paper should be supplied ; if pninting, a box of colors should tin fur nished if for type-setting, ho should have a miniature printing-press ; and, in one way—in fact, many ways—his capabilities should he so cultivated that lie will never ho nt a loss how to employ his time pleasantly and profitably. In furnishing your hoys with a wisely-se lected stock of tools, you confer upon them a benefit which in incalculable. To bo sure, many a kuifo or girnlot will bo lost uml must bo replaced before tho habit of thoughtfulness is formed whioh will prevent losses ; tools will ho in jured, often destroyed; the quiet of the family will he disturbed by ham mering aud sawing, unless there is a workshop on the premises; shavings anil suoh like clean dirt will be of frequent oecnrrtnoo iu the kitchen, regular chores will be forgotten and uegleoto 1 in tho enthusiasm of tho lx»v to finish some task he has iu lisnd ; but these oircum- stnnocn are trifling compared with tlio benefits to be derived from the constant and habitual tiaa of toots. “ Hoys make mon,” and thoy should he taught to make useful men ; knowledge never comes intuitively ; it must be transmit toil. Tlio father who will uot, tnko iho trouble to direct tho expanding ener gies of his hoy, to lead his inquiring mind to tho pastures of knowledge, ever fresh nnd fair, ami open for the child a career, humble though it be, is laying up for himself dis ipnoint rnent, chngrin, perhaps heait hreat, in tho future. When your hoy stands at ydur side, book in hand, and begs you to explain the pictures to him, don't send him away until you have done it. Encour age him to look at pictures uml u>k questions about them ; tell him stories thnt will stimulate his longings to read intt resting xml instructive hooks, of which happily there is no end.

A Suisse in uniform, ns gorgeous as upon the former occasion when Voltaire was refused admittance, now led him through the magnificent cut ranee of the mansion, and ushered him, breathless with fatigue and emotion, into (lie pres- once of the marquis de Gouveruet. For a momeut thoy stood before each other j when Voltaire lifted tho hand in his to his lips and kissed it. “ Ah, mon ami 1” 1 she said with a sad smile, " what have we done with our twenty years?” " Ah, how true !" sighed Voltaire; •' one dies every twenty years.

This fact, how ever, shall uot deter us from saying what we think of a new addition to the Ma- teria Median to which our attention has born recently directed. Wo refer to Dr. J.

I»s popularity, ns far as wo can jndge, in not bast <1 on empty pretension. There seems to be no question about tho po tency of its tonic and alterative proper ties, whilo It possesses the great nega tive recoinmeudation of containing nei ther alcohol mr mineral poison. That it is a specific for indigestion, bilious ness, constipation, and many complaints of nervous origin, wo have reason to know ; and wo nro assured on good an thority that a* a g< noral invigornnt, regulating and purifying medicine, it has no cqunl. It is stated that its in gredients, (obtained from* tho wilds of California,) nro new to the medical world ; and its extraordinary effects cer tainly warrant the conclusion that it is a compound of agents hitherto unknown.
