Fever and Ague,

A
from which mankind suffer over a large part Of
the globe, is the consequence Of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous mlasm OF
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
:he action Of solar heat wet SOIL and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earth's sur
face. and the virus Is taken With il through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison ON the internal yiseera and sxereting organs
Of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails 10
sccrete not only this virus but also the bile tom
the blood Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disorderca also. Finally, the instinct Of our or
gauisn,, a. Il in an attempt to cxpcl the noxious
infusion, cocccn:ztes the whole blood Of The body
in the internal excrctores to force them to cast 1t
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with cougestivc violence. This
i the CHILL. But in this effort It fails. Then the

The PRINCE OF WALES AT TIE TOMB OF
WAsHINGToN.-The London Globe makes
some appropriate remarks on the visit of the
Prince of Wales to Mt. Vernon, during his
visit to the United States. 1t says:
A Prince of Wales in the capital of the
United States is great fact; but greater by
far is Prince of Wales bareheaded at the
grave Of George Washington. We recipro-
cate the hearty enthusiasm of the New York
ers, and admire their colossal modes of show
ing it; but the miles of torches tade out of
sight, and the shouts of thousands are un-
heard, when the descendant of George Ill
stands face to face with the sole survivor of
the bloody fight at Bunker Hill, when the
monument which commentaries that sad
story is decked out with the Union Jack and
the Stars and Stripes "Long after the train
had left Boston" says the Times correspon-
dent, "this great column could be seen with
its rival banners for the first time floating
together over the emblem of bygone strife"
And long may the memory of that graceful
sight remain in the hearts of both nations,
and long may the feelings excited by the
Princes visit survive to warn ourselves and
our cousins from fratricidal quarrels! The
British people are proud of the way in which
the American people have received the Brit
lsh Prince, and they are proud of their Prince
who so worthily represented a royal race
and great nation.

THE PORTLAND (OREGoN) GAS WoRKs.-As
the subject of gas has been of some interest
in these parts, lately, we give from the Port
land Advertiser a notice of the gas works in
that city:
The gas is made from coal from Nanaimo,
Vancouver's Island, which costs at the works
about SIS per ton, mixed with English and
Scotch camel coal. which costs from $25 to
S35 per ton
After being thoroughly washed and con-
densed, it is purified with the best quality of
qnick lime after which it goes into the hol-
der, or "gasometer," which has a capacity of
thirty thous and cubic feet. From the holder
it passes into the street mains, of which the
company have laid over two miles. From
the mains it passes through service pipe to
the meter Supplied by the company in the
premises of the consumer, from which point
it is distributed through his building as his
fancy or interest may dictate, and he can
burn as much or little as he chooses.
The fires were started in the works on the
goth of May last, and the town was lighted
on the lst day of last June, since which time
there has not been an accident nor has the
fre-lke the sacred fire of the Aztecs of old
been suffered to go out or moderate. May
III cOHJlnue unlll lHe company suuil IcCclNo
in profits what will be equal to a reasonable
interest on their money invested, and at the
same time furnish that great desderatum,
light, at much less price.
We also learned another important fact
This city is supplied with better gas than
any other town on the coast, and for this
reason: The small quantity of gas made, in
proportion to the capacity of the works, of
necessity is better washed, condensed and
! purified than when the works are run to their
| full capacity.
The cost of manufacturing gas, per thous-
and cubic feet, for the present consumption
of the city, as compared with San Francisco
or Sacramento, is from 10 to 100 per cent
more. The company has expended large
amount of money, and has erected works that
will compare favorably, in permanency, APP
parent durability, and all the modern i'm
provements, with any on this coast, or in the
Atlantic States. they had firm and abb
ding faith in the growth and prosperity OF
this city, on which depends the solution OF
the problem, will it prove to the company a
profitable investment?
