This severe and painful disease has loag
bafled the akin Of thousands Of our most eel
ebrated physicians Time and money have
been wasted in futile endeavors TO obtain
some embrocation that would perform cure !;
but all have failed except HuST's LNnxsr,
and that has been successful in almost every
instance in which Il has been employed.
Rheumatism arises from different causes,
but most generally proceeds from colds expo
sure to the weather, aud sleeping in damp
rooms Those who are subject to this COM
plant should avoid remaining IN damp places

Who In the world, Of all the candidates ducking
and lodging about him, but Mr.. Orr Of South
Carolina! But good Dstured Mr.. Campbell hav-
ing caught Mr.. Orr instead Of insisting that he
shall be blinded in bis turn, a. the rule Of the
game requires, proposes to turn the frolic ia'o
earnest and 20 make lin Speaker FOR the time
thus giving him a ffisi dly and very beneici4
hoist toward becoming Speaker permanently.
NJ Campbell, beside being extra good naturcd, Is
no doubt very well meaning; but in the mater OF
choosing Speaker, whether Temporary or perma-
rent hs he'd better not act while bindiolded
With HE eyes open be has many times voted tor
Bank Instead of throwing up the Uboe game
in blindfoded frolic Of generosity, be had much
better stick 70 bis candidate; nOr can we doubt
thai after sleeping upon it, he will himself be of
the ssme mind
The shock which Mr.. Csmpbes proposition
gave 10 the House was SO great that under the
HIm of taking recess till the Dext day at II
o'clock, they forthwith set aside the resolution
they bad just taken not to adjourn till Speaker
vas chosen so that Mr.. Campbell is presented
under the unenyisble aspect of not cny himself
cutting ridiculous csper, but sl.o, by forcing
upon The House the necessity, as ii were in self
de'eOse, of cut,i5g up another. IL Mr. Campbell
really thought there was any necessity for tenn
porary Speaker, why, ia the name of consistency
and common sense, did he Dot move the appoint
mept OF Mr. Bsnks' Is not Mr.. Banks just as
well qualified to prese'v. thu dignity of Congress
and to prevent scenes of disorder and turbulence
az NJ Orr And as being decided plurality of
he Members, approaching indeed very closely to
= minority, surely Mr. Bankss friends are entitled
o have the temporary Speaker, if there is to be
one, eel, cted from their bO0y.

FOOD OF THE TROPICS.

Now that the conquerOrs of Nicaragua are ad-
yertsipg for coonists-and We may add, no that
q great scheme is understood to be on foot for the
occupation by American colouists not merely of
Nicaragua, which seems to be intended only as a
standing ground, but of Cuba, 81. Domingo and
of the whole of tropical America-it seems to be
a fitting time to say few words on the subject of
what emigrants have to expect, more especially in
the way of food and work. The tropical re-
gions are generally described in very glowing
terms They are invested-nOt merely in id
yertisements for emigrants, but in sober de-
scriptions, or those intended to be so-with an
extraordinary productiyeness and fabulous fer
tility. They are represented in fact as a sort Of
paradise, in which the earth produces, almost
spontape ously the richest and most abundant gifts,
and where at any time, dinner is to be had for
the pluckiDg
The rapid growth of vegetation in most tropical
regions gives certain color to this idea of gu
perabundsnt productiveDess. But protracsed
residence in the tropical regions Of America
and a careful observation of tropical sgrcul-
ture, enables US to say with condolences tha'
there is 10 part of America within the tropics
that can prouise to the sef working laborer one.
half or even one fourth the valuable return which
the labor of man will produce from the fertile
lands of the West-lands now to be had in abund-
aDce b. squattDg upon them in the first place, and
ultimately paying dollar and quarter the acre.
The settler who leaves this country aua
goes TO establish himself in tropical America
must rely for food upon such esculeht articles as
will grow in that climate. These are vans; va
rious species Of the edible arum-the faro oil the
Pacific Islands aud tie tania AMI eddo Of the
West Indies, where they grow only in wet places,
ard sre chiefly used for vegetable soups-the
usnioc. of which there s's two kinda; the bitter,
