Healthy Residence.

There is no circumstance connected
with health concerning which the pub.
lie are in my opinion, SO ill informed
as the requisites Of a healthy residence
both as regards local position and inter
nal construction. In this Island we
have chiefly to guard against humidity.
on which account our houses should not
be built in low, confined situations. nor
too near water, especially when stagna-
ted, and still less near marshes. Mel
Their should a house be too closely sur
rounded by trees or shrubs. Trees at
some distance from house are both an
ornament and an advantage, but become
injurious when SO near to overshadow
1t, or prevent the air from circulating
freely around it and through its vari-
Gus apartments. The atmosphere ola
bnlding overhung by trees, or surround
ed by thick shrubbery, is kept in con
tant humidity except in the driest wea-
Their; and the health Of the inmates
rarely fails to suffer in consequence.

Microscopic Phenomena.

Grains of sand appear of the same
form to the naked eye, but seen through
microscope, exhibit different shapes
and sizes, globular, square, and conical.
and mostly irregular; and what is sur
Prlslng, IN their cavities have been found.
by the Microscope, insects Of various
kinds The mouldy substance on damn
bodies exhibit region Of minute plants
Sometimes it appears forest of trees.
whose branches, leaves, fowors. and
fruits, are clearly distinguished. Some
otthe flowers have long white transpa-
rent stalks, and the buds before thew
open, are little green balls which be-
come white. The particles Of dust on
the wings ofthe butterfly, prove by the
Microscope to be beautiful and we'll ar
ranged little feathers. By the same in
strument the surface Of our skin has
scales resembling those of fish; but so
minute thata single grain would cover
$50, and single scale covers 500 pores
whence issues the inscnsble perspira
ton necessary to health; consequently
single grain Of sand can cover 1885,
900 pores of the human body.

Benefit Of a Potatoe Diet.

A potatoe diet is found greatly TO i'm.
prove the quality of blood. Hence roas-
ted or baked potatoes are successfully
employed as specific against the sea
scurvy, when other remedies have fail
ed. This discovery was made in France
1t is singular that boiled potatoes do not
have the same effect.

that the trees b.osN.m in th,. Spring, or
that our own noble river courses its

more evident than that intempcrancc is
wide spread, an almost universal evil,
which like the malaria Of our swamps,

every department of society, and corrup-

poor, bond and free; no matter how ex-
allied the station, we find intemperance
in the gorgeous palaces, high in author
lty, "clolhed in fine linen. and faring
sumPtuously every day" No matter
how humble the individual. We find
'ntemperance in the meanest novels, adj
ding TO the thousand ills that abject
poverty is naturally heir to, and rioling
IN rags and wretchedness. The most
exalted lntellects too, are frequently
induced 10 succumb to its influence. If
man had the talents Of an Angel, in

with trlumphing over the world and

street. Five brick buildings were burned and more
than ten families turned in the street ia their naked

owing, as am ashamed TO say, entirely to the ne
ggence or rather the false pride of the mass of the
Fire Companies. The parade was prepared for, and
resolutions passed by almost all the companies that
their apparatus were out OF service, because they
did not want them solled. Out of all the companies
on parade this dds, there were but seven in service
at the fire, which caused so much distress, will
name them. The Fame Engine: Dgent do: Uni

II appears that Immediately after the Tabernacle
holders and others posted off to Washington to see
Captain Tyler, to tell him the news-to explain

Fisher and Major Noah were unavoldaby absent.
A number of delegates were also present from Bos'
ton, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.
The state, prospects and policy of the "Tyler
democracle,' were thoroughly discussed and argued
upon-and the result is highly favorable to the

be made in New York among the people, and John
