1t is daily becoming an object of greater interest
in domestic economy, and would be happy exchange
for the wild oats and other grasses, which
form almost the only production of our marsh lands
yielding nothing for the support of man, and aording
but an Indifferent hay for cattle.
AS it grows spontaneously from Louisiana to the
arctic CIRCLE it must, of course, embrace all our
ATTITUDES, and would probably sueceed.-In which
should obtain without any other trouble than
the mere labor of harvesting it, crop rivang, in
quality and quantity, that which is now produced by
laborious and unhealthy cultivation in the Southern
States 1t would form source of wealth to its own
ers, little if any inferior to the indigo, cotton and s
gar of the South A SUBSCRIBER.

WILD RICE.
June 1oth, 1929.

JNF6 IULN,
Mr. J. S. Skinner
Mr. Darby, the Geographer, says " the most valua-
Bile vegetable production of Michigan, and the north
west territories, is the wild Rice (znzia aquatica y
1t grows abundanty in the marshes. ponds, lakes and
rivers of these territories and exists upon the streams
and lakes, in greater less quantity from Louisan-
ia to the arctic crcle.''
This is certainly most valuable grain and richly
deserving the most particular attention of the citizens
of the United States. One of its chief excellencies
appears TO be that it needs cultivation. And from
what we learn of the wild rice that grows on the
shores of Lake Superior and which we take to be
the same it is probably not inferior to that which is
cultivated in the southern States.
is most earnestly recommended to the notice of
the citizens of the Atlantic States residing on tide

LIBERIA.

LIBERIA.
We have conyersed with very intelligent colored
Clergyman who left Baltimore two years ago for AT
;ca He went to see for himself the situation of af
;rs At Liberia and to satisfy many of his friends here,
who looked to his opinion, after an inspection OF the
ground as the guide of theirs. On this account his
ret,rn has we understand, been time anxiously
expected by many very respectable colored people OF
this place and were particularly desrous from
the interest which we take in the schemes of African
Colonization, to hear his report. His first words
were entirely satisfactory. I" / have come back The
saidl for my wife and children; and am satisfied that
Africa is the place for and mine, and all others of
nv color, who will go there with common industry
and perseverance,. Nothing would induce me to re-
main in America In reply to our questions, he
then entered into such detail of circumstances as
fully iusGed his opinions and conduct. The mortal
ity he sald was comparatively trfing in most voya-
resind could be traced very generally to the impru
dence of the convalescents who, anxious to be get
tino forward, make excursions which bring on a re-
lapse second and third, and sometimes even fourth
time before it carries them off, In most instances
common care, when conValescing, will prevent NOR
uty DIR Randall's case, as he reported 1T to us
and he was one who nursed him through his illness
illustrates his idea. Dir Randall was quite GONZALES
cent weakness being all he had to contend with, a
ter his first attack and that was rapidly vanishing
In this state, he saw the Government schooner aground
on the bar. He boarded her, and remained on deck,
exposed to the hottest beams of African from
seven until eleven o'clock, A. M. The consequence
was to have been foreseen he taken home dellri-
Gus with stroke of the He again became con-
yaescent, and gaining strength rapidly when the
Harriet arrived-conrary to the entreaties of all a
round him, he insisted on experimenting the debarka-
ton and location of the setersand another relapse
was the consequence of his unremitted labors--agan
he became convalescent, and was doing well, when
the Harret's emigrants began to be taken down with
the sickness He now broke from his immediate at
tendants, who would have restrained him within the
bounds of common prudence, and, borne on chair
or supported on the of two men, insisted upon
visiting and prescribing for the sicka last and fatal
attack was the consequence of these reiteratons of
imprudence. His own enthusiastic zeal destroyed
him. The spirit was too restless for the frame which
it inhabited. DIR Mechlen, his Assistant is in good
health-because, although more affected in the first
instance by the fever he has taken care OF himself,
avoided unnecessary EXPOSURE and pursued the advice
of those who have experience of the climate
