Th? experi? ment has been tried frequently, with the same re? sult. -At Neufchatel, in Switzerland, is an observa? tory organizod on an extensive scale, and posses ling tho vory finost instruments.

A girl or twenty-fiv.\ na-ned Philo mo:io Jonstue, having died, as was supposed, from oholera, and there being much alarm about tho dis eau. the intormont took place sovci.tcon hours af? terward . W.-.on tho grave-digger was about to throw earth o\-r tho coffin, h> distinctly heard knocks from the interior. He immediately went to the church ibr the minister, and a surgeon wae also sent for. On openinR the c fun it was found that thc cloth which bound tho head was much tumbled, Irom which it is supposed that tho head had been tossed about violontly. Tue same thine occurred with the linen which covered the feet. T :0 heart had not entirely ceased io beat, but tho su goon could not restore animation, so the body was scon afterwards rc-intorrod. Several persons aro said to have heard the noise in the coffin. The hoad had cwrtriuly moved from its position. Low the Experiment nae Worked. T^iat there should be a deficiency of labor anywhere in tho South-a demand for immi grants fr m Europe, or for ooolies from the overcrow lcd districts of Asia, is a fact at once curious, surprising and lamentable, when we bear in mind that there is now, within the bounds of the late slaveholding States, a labor? ing populatiou of four millions, who but a few years ago, were fully adequate to all the de? manda for labor in the several departments of agriculture, manufactures and commerce, to s*y nothing of the hundreds of thousands en? gaged as house servants in country, town and city. The negro, it is needless to saj, in very many respects, is preferable, for tris part of the country, to any other laborer. 1. He is tho? roughly acclimated, and enjoys an immunity from the local diseases whi< h the white man, though native and to tho manor born, can uever hope to attain. 2. Hi is of strong phys? ique, inured, almos-, from his birth, to work, md, in his norm il condit:on, has no other aim, objeot, or ambiti n, tha-- to make a comforta? ble living by manual ??riculturallabor. 3. He ;s a skilled operative, his aptitude for the sev? eral departments c. field labor, being the re? sult of life-long practice. His childhood has been, heretofore, a continuous and productive tpprenticeship. 4. He speaks our language, understands us, and we, in our turn, kuow. aim. He is docile aud cheerful, his wants are lew, and his aspirations usually limited to physical enjoyment. 5. Havinj been trained, io slavery, to industry and systematic labor, uo is clearly the most guiiable, under the pres? ent circumstances, as a hired laborer. As it emsig him but little to live, ho can easily com? pete with the white laborer, especially at a time of financial depression, when the products of agricultural toil promise but small gains to the planter. Yet, notwithstanding all these grounds of ] preference for the negro, and with an abun? dance ot such skilled and acclimated labor, the undeniable fact nevertheless remains, that tho demand is not supplied. Contract labor with the freedmen has been tried during three consecutive years, tho compacts between em? ployer and employee being modified, according to circumstances, to every conceivable degree. Some hired by the month, paying wages and "finding;" others paid "board wages," the negro "finding himself." Others, again, gave a share of the crop, from one-fourth to one-half, ao c >rding as the employer furnished provisions, "stock," etc., or supplied and then deducted them from the net proceeds of the year's har? vest. Three years would seem to be ample time for the trial of such an experiment. What, then, is the result? We have taken no small pains to a-certain tho truth. We have con? versed, during the pant few months, with a large number of planters and farmers, in dif? ferent sections of the State, and have endea? vored to obtain information principally from men whom we knew to be intelligent, honest, and cautious in giving an opinion ; ?nd upon a comparison of their stutemfcnls we find the gen? eral opiuion adverse to the whole system of contract labor. Several oauscs have combined to render the the negro is a trained field laborer, and every >viy adapted to that condition. But it has been attempted within the last year to make him a poli? tician, a calling incompatible with that of au in? dustrious agriculturist. Begistration, leagues, processions, epeeohes, and voting, have occu? pied his attention, to the great detriment of the orop. The freedman went to the muster house, with gun in hand, making a week's frolic cf registration. In the meantime the cotton went to grass. Exciting topics gavo him a distaste tor the humdrum life ot the shovel and the hoe, and his energies visibly flagged. In short, "the negroes won't work"-this is the cry everywhere. They go to work late in the morn? ing, some of them from two to three hours later than under the old regime. At noon they demand two, aud some oven three hours, and they quit thc field at early twilight. Ii task work is assigned them, they do it hastily and very badly. They g*t through -heir tasks by noon not unfrequently, and then idle about the village, or "go visiting" on some neighboring plantation till sight comes ort, when they en? gage in coon hunting or some equally profita? ble diversion. Complaint is useless; all this is eli.iined as a matter of right, regardless of the stipulations of the contract. Tbe planter, for obvious reasons, is disin? clined to notice even serious shortcomings and infractions of the compact. The negro likes an appeal to the "Bureau," where he can hear himself "talk big" to the "Yankee man." He cares little for the result of the suit ; thc mere process is delight, excitement and holiday for uim. His employer does not take the same view of the matter; hence, generally, much is overlooked, for which the freedman would oth? erwise be called to account. These disadvantages are attendant upon ne? gro contracts of every description. The plan of paying fixed wages will, perhaps, all things considered, prove the best, once the labor is found reliable, and after our staple produots have reached something like a fixed standard of value. But until then, the planter who adopts the wages system is liable to great loss, as the experience of the past year has shown, to our cost. Magazine Literature, That doleful prophet, Mr. THOMAS CARLYLE, in his nctes to the republican- of "Shooting Niagara and After," says that in fifty years hence all serious souls will have quitted litera? ture, and that for any noble man, or useful person, it will be a credit rather to declare ..I never tried literature ; believe nc, I have never written anything." It may be so ; though we by no meati3 consider thc great and rugged Chelsea growler au infallible seer. Tho tendencies of thc age, and of its literature, certainly seem to warrant such a prediction. Toe light, the gay and sensational, in news? paper, magazine and novel, are rapidly crowd? ing out everything serious aud solid. THOMAS ARSOLD, in one of his letters, complains of the pernicious tendency exercised upon boys by books like tho Pickwick Papers and Nicholus Pickleby, in unfitting them for serious work. What would the good old Bugby schoolmaster say to Miss BRADDU.V, Mrs. WOOD, SILVANUS COBB, Jr., and their companion sensatiouists ? He, too, no doubt, would agree with hia friend, the hero-worshipper, in advising total absti? nence, rather than feed the mind upon such literary pabulum. The era ol books seems closed, t". e., bock3 in the old sense of the word. Good standard works, twenty years ago, if not mveh read, wer? at least held in decent reverence; but now they lie unnoticed upon tho shelves of the bookseller. History, Travels, Poetry, Philoso? phy, Critioiiffi, the more legitimate departments of literature, are all neglected. The age is too fast to plod over twelve volumes of GKOT?, or six of GIBBO?, of PRESCOTT, MOTLET, Ms RIVAIS, Br/CKiB or Fftoi'D?, notwithstanding heir undoubted merit ns faithful historians, ind thc seductive accessories of a wealth ot .earning, charming style, splendid diction, and sasy and eloquent narrative. LOCKF,, BROWNE, BERKELEY, REID, STEWART, HAMILTON, MUR? RELL, and their compeers, whose audience was at all times but limited, now have still fewer rcadeis, that is, if we take into consideration tho spread of education, and the consequent increase in the number of readers an author now expects to address. But although books arc no more, modern culture has its substitute ; the newspaper and the magazine, now in universal demand, bid fair to absorb all the writing talent of thc age. Among the new claimants for consideration in this path of literature we now have " PUTNAM'S Mcuthly Magazine." Many of our readers will remember this monthly in its first stage of existenoe. It was commenced fourteen year? ago, and aftor a short but brilliant career, was suspended. During the past year, however, many of Mr. PUTNAM'S friends have urged its resuscitation; and as this seems to be the spring tide in the history of mugazines, we think Mr. P. has done wisely in taking it at the flood, and relaunching his bark. The old "PUTNAM'S Magazine" was not popu? lar in the South, becauso of its extreme political views ; and we are sorry to see from this first number of the magazine, that time has not changed, nor even softened the harshness of its opinions. Tho introductory article, " The Old and the Now," contains some very interesting notices of thc contributors to the old "PUTNAM'S Monthly." Next follow inquiries after former contributors whose whereabouts are not known; and then we are told of others who wero first tempted ty the "Monthly" to appear before the public. Anio-g theso last was WILLIAM* SWINTON, whose "Rambles among Verbs and Adjectives" in the twenty-third and twenty fourth numbers, "were writton while he was a teacher in a school in North Carolina, which he had to quit between two days to avoid the inevitable consequences of being suspected of abolitionism." The "Introductory" concludes with a very genial letter from GEOBOE WILLIAM CURTIS, about the history of the old magazine. TQ BE MT.
