Jiluile. General Miscellany. ('mulct Labor. There 1 much discussion with all classes of laborer a to jienitcn tiury contract labor, and in truth it appear to bo a problem hard to satisfactorily solve. If thoy make stove In tho penitentiary, thi la bor Immediately compete with moulder all over tho tate; and o with making shoes, agricultural im plement, in fact, any occupation that tho prisoner are put to bring eeinpetilion. And yet it i neither proper, humane nor just to keep the prisoner in th penitentiary for year without labor, and it in much better for tho convict, therefore, to ascertain what is to bo done. We think that tho best thing to lie done in tho mutter in to employ tho con vict ou our road and highway. We need bi tter roads than we have, and they might bo employed ad vmitageounly in building them. We are getting so many railroads now and transportation is so cheap mid exjM'ditious that each county could have a iiuiiiIht of convicts brought from tho capital to do tho amount of lalxir that they aro entitled to in proMrtioii to their population, and while such convicts are iu a county tin y might be employed further to do road work. It upn.'ar to us that a hill eiulioilying the suggestion above stated could lw mt do law, and that il would not only be popu lar, but in every way practical and economic, and would remove tho competition of convict labor from tho way of other workmen and set tle the question to the full satisfac tion of all. Cucifie Farmer. Foolish Siiirrntlliunn. Mankind in all age have been prone to the most lamentable nujKr stitionn. The enlightened nations of antiquity were no more exempted from them than tho most ignorant. The Jew, as we are repeatedly informed in Scripture, could with difficulty U' restrained from idola trous and siipi rntitiotm practices nml confiniil to tho worship and eri ice of tho only truo God. Thin remarkable tendency of the Hebrew nation wag in all likelihood caused by their sojourn for the space of four hundred yearn among the Fgvptiuim, whose whole system of religion wa a mass of idolatrous observance. Tho Kgvptians, notwithstanding their learning, also believed in dnami, lucky and unlucky day, omen, charms and magic. In a word, thi, were grossly supersti tion, and ieem to have had but a feeble conception, if any, C.'e law which regulate the ordinary phtf nonienu of nature.
