Curious Trees In Cuba.

The editor of the 'Horticulturist, who is o
professor of botany, spent the last winter
in Cuba, where he found many trees and
plants very different from anything in
this country, some of which are very Curl
Gus in their habits; one of the most so is the
ciusia roseo ct aipa, commonly called jaquey
(FIcus Mdisa occidentaiis Both are para.
sites. The seeds, being deposited by birds
in the forks of trees vegetate there and send
down small fbrous roots along the trunk
until they reach the ground, however dis
tant, and these roots continue increasing
until the whole body is enveloped. the roots
uniting together where they come in contact
until they finally form en- envcloping case,
with the bole of the old tree for the heart,
which is killed by its parasite, new top is
formed, and there stands lofty tree, which
is sometimes six or eight yards in diameter
at the bottom. 1t is described as beautiful
and delightful shade tree. The wood is Of
no value, the juice is so glutinous that it
serves as birdlime The flamentous roots
are said to be remarkably strong. aud the
branches bear beautiful flower and singular
shaped fruit. 1t is suggested that the resin
Gus gum exudng might be used in book
binding, since it is proof against all insects.
This singular tree is most commonly found
attaching itself to the Ceiba tree, which
grows very large and tall. 1t also attaches
to precipices and walls of dasartad bousn.
and completely envelops the wall

Consumption and Change of Climate.

Sir James Clarke. of England, has assail-
ed with considerable force the doctrine that
a change of climate is beneficial to persons
suffering with consumption and French
physician NJ. Carriere, has written forcibly
against it. DR.. Burgess, an eminent Scotch
physician, also contends that climate has lit
tie or nothing to do with the cure of con-
sumption, and that. if it had, the curative
effects would be produced through the skin
and not through the lungs. That warm
climate is not in itself beneficial, he shows
from the fact that the disease exists in all
latitudes. In India and Africa, tropical
climates. it is as frequent as in Europe and
North America. At Malta, right in the
heart of the genial Mediterranean, the ar.
my reports Of England show that one-third
OF the deaths among the soldiers are by con.
sumption. At Nice, favorite resort of the
English invaids, especially to those afflicted
with lung complaints, there are more native
born persons die of consumption than in any
English town of equal population. In Gene
va the disease is almost equally prevalent.
La Florence, pneumonia is said to be marked
oy suffocating character, and by rapid
progress towards its last stage. Naples,
whose climate is the theme of so much praise
by travellers. shows in her hospitals a NOR
tallty by consumption equal to one in two
and one-third, whereas in Paris, whose eli.
mate is so often pronounced villainous,, the
proportion is only one in three and one quar-
ter. In Madeira, no local disease is more
common than consumption.

The Railroad Celebration.


We observe that our neighbor of the Minneso.
tian has come out fat-footed against the Rail-
road celebration. on the ground that it is polit.
eal movement to advance the interests of the Dem.
ocratic party of this Territory. Our Impressions
from the first have been of a like character, AMI
We have not therefore, given the measure that
earnest support VIC should have done did We think
differently. Still, We are in favor of celebra-
ton if it can be condu;t ;ted fairly and harmonic
ously. 10 view of the present state OF feeling,
We ask if il would not be best to postpone the
81 ,lli6sation" until after some of our Railroads
are completed ?-until we can invite gentlemen
of all political parties, and men of money to an
excursiun over our roads AMI through our coun.
try? What particular benefit will celebration
at this time do US! 1t is true, we can burn gun
powder, and waste candles, but will that tend
one half so much to bringing Us into notice as q
grand excursion on the cars from Saltwater to st.
Paul, and from thence to Crow Wing, or in thar
neighborhood Z" Then there would be a motiue
for Strangers to visit city, now there is none.
But still, if celebration Is to come of. let it be
after the elections, say the 7th or 10th of June.
Then no obj 'ction be raised as to its having
POLITICAL effect, and we hazard the assertion that
1t will be better for all concerned. Beside, the
evening will then be dark and admit OF better
illumination than on the 18th of May, when the
brilancy of the Moon will materially detract from
the display. Let Us have HARMONIOUS celebra-
tion or none. Invite Senators Hale, Seward,
Wade and commercial men throughout the coun.
try, as well as Douglas, Tombs, &c. Divest the
whole thing of POLITICAL character and we shall
have no occasion to find fault.

LITERARY CURIOSITlES.

We have frequently copied articles from JEFF
fer-on, Henry CLAY and Daniel Webster, showing
the stupsndous sophisms of the Squatter Sover.
eighty doctrine, but as these veal. k.minded men
are apt to be objection .hle to the present day
Democracy, We qiots below from speech deliv.
cred by their Patron Saint, Stephen Arnold
Douglas, at Springfield, ILL.,, during the Fsllsof
1850.
The Sham Democratic Supreme Court has just
decided that the Missouri Comprom SO is uncon-
stitutioual here is tho 'Little Giant giving Cass
a sockdolager, and declaring that the Missouri
Compromise Is Constitutional? B chansn in
1910 "clung" to the Missouri Compromise, while
now he asserts that Congress has no power 10
prohibit the transportation of Slaves into Free
Territory. Douglas, in the paragraph quoted
below, argues, and, we must say, with good
show of reason, that Congress has that power Of
prohibition in negroes, just as much as it has in
whiskey! Read the following over twice, then
cut it out and hang it in a mahogany frame. 1t
will be dangerous for those broad.visaged wags
who are chronically disposed to laugh, to peruse
it By the side of some Of his recent speeches, un
less they are blessed with very strong constitu.
tions. He says:
81 do not hold the doctrine, that to exclude
any species of property by law from any Terrific
ry is violation Of any right to property. DO
you not exclude banks from most of the Terrific.
iries? Do you not exclude whiskey from being
introduced into large portions of the Territory of
the United States? DO you not exclude gam
bling tables, whoh are property, recognized as
such in the States where they are tolerated P
And has any one contended that the exclusion Of
gambling tables and the exclusion of ardent
spirits Was violation of any constitutional priv
iiege or right? And yet it is the case in large
portion of the Territory Of the United States !;
but there is outcry against it, because 1t is the
prohibition of q specific kind of property, and
not a prohibition against any section of the
Union. Why, sir, our laws now prevent tavern
keeper from going into some of the Territories
Of the United States, and taking bar with him
and using and selling spirits there. The law also
prohibits certain other descriptions of business
from being carri d on in the Territories. am
not therefore prepared to say that, under the Con-
stitut,on, we have not TIE POWER to pass laws
excluding negro Slaves from the Territories. IT
INVOLVES THE SANE PRINCIPLE"

Civilized and UnciviliZed.

A few days since queer scene presented itself
to our view. Passing along SUAnthony street,
We observed two elegantly dressed ladies with q
sweet little girl. The little creature went pratt
ting along with her graceful curls the very type
of innocence, while the ladies in whose company
she WIS, would have graced the famous fashion
able avenue of New York City. Directly behind
this evidence of civilization, followed three Sioux
squaws, with their jet black straight hair, their
uncouth blue leg,ns and IF frocks, covered iy
dirlv blankets, AMI on their backs strung pa, +.
poses. The advanced party turned and gazed
with intense curiosty at the rude children of the
fo est, while in turn the Indians gazei on the
'p,le ices" with that peculiar expression known
only to their race. IL was queer scene and rare.
