Causes of Sickness in Dwellings,
CELLARS.

CELLARS.
In my opinion, the cellars unIer our
houses are more often the cause of dis.
ease than is generally supposed In
their best condition, unless thoroughly
ventilated, which is rarely the case. they
contain a damp, stagnant atmospbere
which is more or less injurious to health,
In many cellars even of the better class
OF houses, through the carelessness of
servants, filth is allowed to accumulate
often containing bones, scraps of vege.
tables and swill, the decomposition of
which is very injurious to health.
am inclined to believe that one Of the
chief causes of typhoid fever among the
farming population of New England, is
the presence and decomposition of vege
table matter in the cellars. It is well
known that this disease prevails much
more severely and more fatally in the
country, where everything would seem
10 be conducive to health, than in cities,
where there is usually less vegetable
matter kept in the cellars. First of all.
then, if we would prevent cholera and
other diseases, let every householder ex-
anime his cellar. Remove every parti-
Gle OF filth at once; provide as much
ventilation as possible, and keep it I'D
constantly: cement the bottoms and
walls OF the cellar so as to keep out all
water; and in some localities where the
water cannot be kept out, the only mea-
sure which will insure safety is to fll |
up the cellar with deep sand. Above |
all, let every cellar be thoroughly white.
washed with fresh lime before the first
OF June. This is most important. The
Whltewash makes the cellar lighter. and
the lime destroys mould, mildew, and
every variety of fungi, which vegetate in
dark, damp places, some of which are
supposed to be the specific cause Of dis.
ease. Remember for cellars-remove

A Trial for Treason Demanded.

Something Ike year ago, President
Johnson remarked that it was "ueccssa-
~ for the safety Of the country that
traitors should be punished and treason
made Odious and last fall, in conver-
sation with a delegation from South
Carolina he repeated the same senti-
ment in language still more emphatic.
We are not aware that the President
has changed his views in this matter
we believe that he is still anxious to
have the highest sanction of law for the
practical settlement of this question.
Although the language Of the Coustitu
ton is so plain in defining treason. that
the school boy cannot misunderstood it.
and every one who can read and under
stand the simplest words inNthe English
language, knows that Jefferson Davis
and his co,conspirators are traitors;
still the rebel and copperhead papers
have so muddled the brains of those
who read them, it has become necessary
to re-aftirm in the highest legal and Off
cial form what the Constitution plainly
asserts, and to force the unwilling to re-
CogniZe the great truth that treason is
an odiOus crime.
At this moment, Ex-Governor Wise in
Virginia, and the leading copperhead
press Of the North are setting this con-
stitutional truth at defiance, and daring
the government authorities to execute
the highest political criminal in the
and. The immediate trial of the chief |
|conspirator OF the rebellion is imperi-
|Ously demanded. We have recently
published extracts from speeches made
"a few days ago by Henry A. Wise, and
our readers remember his defiant words;
If am traitor why don't they try
|ne and hang me ?" A Washington cor
|espondent Of the New York DatlyNews
lays:
The recent indictment of Mr.. Davis
P Norfolk was brought about by Judge
Underwood on his own responsibility,
|nd it has not received the sanction of
|he government or any officer or branch
|hereof. It is
vel known to the government and to
81 its law officers, that Jefferson Daviss
BRINE. whatever it may be, does not amount
treos0a and that, tried in any civil
court. conviction for treason cannot be
secured. To place Jefferson Davis on
rial for treason is to have it proclaimed
that he ald nat commit treason ; and it is a
knowledge Of this fact that has hitherto
prevented his trial. If he is put on trial
binder this indictment, it will simply be
Z order that he may be honorably &C
uitted.
and as the New York World, Daily
|Eews, Cincinnati Enquirer, Chicago
lines, and their followers throughout
Fhe country call the Republican men,
beS Of Congress traitors they undoubt-
POLY regard Davis, Wise ard their asso-
|tates in rebellion, as Unionists. The
EeceSsity is therefore forced upon the
Eoyernment to try Jefferson Davis as
|fgeedily as possible. The whole coun-
|ty demands it.

SENATOR PoLAND.-The National Re-

"The speech of Senator Poland was

purely legislative matters. 1t repre-
sents the steady patriotism and sterling
character of State that rarely INDUCES
in fancy or spiteful legislation. While
reading this manly effort of Senator Po-
land, it recalled the calm wisdom and
Craftsmanship OF the lamented Cola
mer, who so long and ably represented
Vermont in the Senate Chamber. His
mantle has fallen upon a worthy sue
cessor. Among those who voted for the
reconsideration of this pernicious and
indecorous measure, we take pleasure in
observing the names of Senators Nor
gan, Fessenden and Wilson"

GENERALLY,

In every portion of our dwellings
| there is defective ventilation, and a free
ana constant change Of the atmosphere
Is 100 often unknown. Sunlight is
practically banished from too many of
our houses by curtains and blinds and
shutters and shade trees, and instead of
its lite-giying presence, we have damn
dark, mould-producing atmosphere. at
all times injurious to health. and in time
OF an epidemic especially dangerous. In
houses and rooms which are kept closed
and dark during the sultry heat of Sum
mer, microscopic vegetable fungi are
produced in large quantities. which II is
believed, are often the cause of serious
disease. Our advice is then, generally,
to Danish shade trees from the immedi-
ate vicinity of houses, open the blinds
and windows, let in the sunlight and
the air, and obtain, at all events. a con.
slant change of atmosphere in the house
For the prevention of disease, and espec-
