county gave Fremont 666 majority but
out of compliment to Fisher, gave him
4o7 majority over Bugbee, Rep. Itgave
Manning, Rep. 295 at the same election,
and Parvin, DEM, 1877, who had 502 in
the State. Thus it seems that Clayton
county elected both the Democratic can
didates by Republican votes, through To-
cal causes.
Cd. Buchanan county, which gave the
Republican State ticket 900 (225) ma
jority, and went for Fremont last fall 266,
on account of some technical error in the
returns, was thrown out and not counted.
Sd. There are fully 1900 Republican
votes in Dubuque county ; only 780 OF
them went to the polls, which accounts
for the 1885 Pro- Slavery majority in that
county.
4th. In Floyd county, which is Re-
publican by more than two to one, no Re-
publican tickets were printed, while the
other side polled l35 votes, making a
Republican loss of 800 on last fall The
same thing occurred in Pottawatamie,
losing the Republicans over 200 votes.
Also in Boone county, losing our side
600 more.
5th. In strong Republican counties
like Henry, Linn, Fayette, Scott, Wash
ington, and Winneshiek, scarcely half the
Republican vote was out. The Demo-
cratic county of Marion, which was not
counted last fall, was returned this spring.
giving lO3 majority for the pro-slavery
side.
And, lastly, of the $3.50 Fillmore
votes, an inspection of the returns shows
that most of them voted with the Border
Ruffians. Yet with all these back-sets,
the result was draw game, and that is
the most our opponents can make of it.

gress. Gerrit Smith argued in favor Of
the acquisition and annexation of Cuba,
with Africans free, and African slaves
just as they are.
Mr.. Boyce, on the other hand, under
took to demonstrate the fact that the
proposed acquisition would be prejudi-
cial to the interests of the whole country,
and entirely ruinous to the South.
1t may not, however, be in the power
of the South to prevent it, when an op-
portunity for the consummation of the
project shall present itself.
The influence of the great and fast
growing North West is to decide this
question, and as they furnish the water
that constitutes the Mississippi, and will
raise cattle and breadstuffs for exporta-
ton, they will insist upon having all the
trade waich. properly belongs to the Mis-
sissippi-and the trade of Cuba is to
them of vast importance.

HYGIENIC INFLUENCE OF TREES.

The cultivation Of forest trees is be-
coming more and more a subject of Sc
rious consideration among our public
economists.
The relation of trees to the comforts
and conveniences of life, and the great
question of future supply, which arises
in view of the continual destruction of
our forests, has attracted the attention of
the best and brightest intellects of our
country.
To the physician the subject has an
additional Importance in view of the hy-
gienic influence of trees upon the atmos-
phere, and consequently upon the human
system, both in health and disease.
1t is well known that new diseases
make their appearance as forests are
cleared away, and the superior physical
power of backwoodsmen over the inhab-
itants of treeless plains, has always, and
in all ages of the world, been acknow-
lodged.
The influence of animal and vegetable
life upon the other, has not escaped the
attention of observing men but little or
no effort has been made to inform the
public of many facts in connection with
this subject, which it is vitality important
should be known and the wholesale
destruction of our forest trees has gone
to an extent that threatens to leave us, at
a time uot far in the future, comparatively
destitute of the great pride of America
its magnificent and glorious forests.
The physiological influence of trees of
all sorts is apparent to every one who
knows the avidity with which they absorb
carbon and ammonia, which if left free
in the atmosphere, render noxious and
poisonous the air we daily breathe.
The planting of trees in our cities, and
the preservation of forests, would do
more to preserve the public health than
many other more expensive hygienic
measures.-N II, Jour. Med.
