| PLANTS AND NTI-MIASMATTCs,-Th
Prairie Farmer throws out the follow
ing suggestions: - e-t-5
For several generations the negroes
IN the Southern States have been ac-
customod to plant sunflOwers and cas-
tor beans about their cabins, for the
purpose of preventing local diseases,
supposed to he caused by impurities in
the air. The educated whites saw
nothing but superstition at the bottom
OF the practice, aud believed that a line
of sunfiOwers about a cabin would have
no moro to do with protecting the ten
ants from the fever and aglc than the
wearing OF a red string about the neck
AS is done in many parts of New Eng
iahd-wonid insure the wcarcr against
bleeding at the nose. Aside from an
allusion to this practice by Lieut. Maury,
little has. ever been written = in this
county on tic subject.
Recently, however, the great prcya-
lence of miasma in some portions of
Belgium, has induced the Government
to try to devise some means to render
those districts less unhealthy. For
tunately for the health Of those resi-.
ding in the sickly regions referred to D
clever DatchINan noticed that the sun
flower, helanttAus amnuas, grew to q.
most remarkable size. producing an
abundance Ofleavcs, flowers and seeds
on those soils which, seemed toabsOrb
the D,iasma most beautifully. Taking
advantage of this observation, he plan
ted large quantities of the seeds Of this
plant on an estate of his that had here
tOfOre been remarkably unhealthy; but
no sooner had the plart gained a con-
siderable growth than every vestigc of
diseases, previously SO prevalent; dis
appeared. These Coarse and ungainly
plants had completely disinfccted the
air by changing the n,iasmatic efffuvia
into various forms of vegetable tissue.
Critical examination aftcrward dis
closed two very important facts: first,
that most of the substance Of the plants
was derived from the air aud not from
the soil; and secondly, that the pitll of
stalk, as we'll rs tho leaves, contained
a large amount of nitrogen. The
course of tho action of the suntlowcrs
could now be understood. The pois-
Onous substances in the air were large
" composed of nitrogen which was
greedily taken up by the plant.
Besides this Testimony from the
Southern States aud Holland, in rcla-
ton to the efficacy of tho sunffower in
remOving.miasma from the air, we learn
from travellers in India that the inlIabi-
tants of the marsh countries there plant
the betei pepper around their dwellings,
in part, for a similar purpose. The
question then may arise, to what cx-
tent may we render healthy other parts
Of the country, where the ague or other
diseases caused by impurities in the
dir, are prevalent, by the cultivation of
quick growing plants. That many To-
,zalities are exceedingly unhealthy when
they are first settled, but afterwards |
become noted for their salubrity, is a |
fact that is we'll known. The whole |
region about Chicago was once the bed
Of the agae; now it has entirely iisap-
reared. Has the change been effected |

A Cure FOR THE GREcrAN BEND.-The
Hamilton (Canada) Spectator tells the fol-
lowing story, which should be warning to
fair smugglers and Grecian benders partic-
ularly,: ~. g4E
The Grecian bend was put to O novel
use on the Buffalo and Lake Huron Rail-
way few days since. In enc of the first
| class cars sat a handsome young lady,
dressed in the height of fashion, who ap-
peared to be suffering under rather pain
full attack of Grecian bend. As is usual on
the trains arrival on the American side,
| the baggage of the passengers was examin-
ed by the United States Custom officer.
7" Have You any baggage, Miss? inquired
the officer OF the aforesaid young lady.
Nothing except this" replied she, pro-
ducing small valise. The officer examin-
ed and returned at the same time scanning
the person Of the young lady in manner
that almost amounted TO rudeness "WiIl
you follow me to the Custom offics, Miss p

we're almost drawn into smile, and mis-
chievous twinkle was perceptible in bis

procured, and, after strong protests on the
part Of the young lady, the mystery of the

tain twelve yards Of black silk velvet, six
pairs of French kid gloves, forty yards of
rich lace, four white ostrich feathers, and q
