Quinine is produced from a forrest
tree in South America, known as the
chinchona, of which there are many
varieties, but the chinchona cansaya
and the chinchona rubra yield the
medicine in greatest abundance. So
great has been the demand that, in
most of the districts whence it has
been obtained, the supplies are gradu-
ally diminishing and as no substitute
of equal value is likely to be found, it
is Of the utmost Importance that new
sources shall be discovered. In Jamaica
the chinchona rubra has been cultiva-
ted sufficiently to show that it will
grow well on that island, and the
Government is urged to encourage and
assist ID lis cultivation on an extended
scale. 1t seems, however, that only
upon mountains from 1000 to 200 feet
high, where the forests are often be-
deWed with mist, does this tree arrive
to a perfection that will make it's cuI-
tiVation profitable but there are
several sections on the island which
will answer the requirements. Be
sides, there are other Islands in this
quarter of the world where similar
condltions prevail, and If due effor Is
are made the world supply of quinine
may continue unexhausted.- Tribune.

Women or Ladies.

Some writer has said that one of she
sweetest words in the English Ian
guage one of the most expressive and
full Of sound, is the almost now for
gotten term "gentleWoman." The
very name itself, carries. US back to the
time Of Sir Roger de Ceverly, "smug
Mr. Addison, goodhearted, kindly
Dick Steele the conviyial christian
hero" But now that this tedious,
buckram -coated modern age, has set
in, the old fashioned word IS discarded
and the unmeaning phrase lady" is
universally applied tosall=memher of le
beau accommodating because any
word thus indiscriminetely made use
ofs60n loses all positive. or, so to
SPEAK, individual sense. True, we
live In a democratic country, but pol
itical equality does not in tile least
lessen social distinctions. The most
cultivated man and the dirtiest vaga-
bond. both equally take their s'ladies''
to the theateT The nyHgplse du p0Ue
speaks of her lady friend" Indeed,
SO farhas this absnrdity been carried
that now to say She is a true women
is to pay one OF the highest eompli-
nlents Whiehfthe sex is capable of re-
ceiving. Woman" brings 10 the
mind tender rec0flections of soft eyes,
deer lips. embracing arms, and gentle
hearts while lady" Is but a fhikin,

ton and nonsense, as different from

"A terrible story, reported from Agen, and
attested both by doctor and by the Direc-
teur des Pompes Funebres, shows that fears
of premature burial in France are not un-
founded, in consequence of the law COM
manding interment within twenty-four hours
after death. A young lady of Agen died about
year ago, and was buried in the cemetery of
Sainte Fol. A few days since her mother also
expired, having before her death expressed q
wish to repose in the same coffin with her
daughter. A large coffin was accordingly
constructed to contain the two corpses, and
the body of the young lady was exhumed. 1t
was then discovered that the winding-sheet
had been torn open, and the right hand
which was disengaged from its folds, was
deeply marked with bites. On the lid of the
coffin were some marks made with the cruciix
which lay on her breast, and the whole cir
cumstances of the case left no doubt that the
unfortunate young lady had been victim to
the horrors of premature burial. Intense ex-
element prevails in the neighborhood, and
an official inquiry is to be made on the subjec

A Needed Reform.

The House Of Refuge now contains in the
white department 344 boys and 103 girls; in the
colored department, so boys and 35 girls.
great and growing evil is the commitment here
of older lads and girls, who should be sent to
House of Correction. The design of this nsti-
tuition was to reform children of tender years.
AS it is at present oyercrowded, it is positive
jnhumanity to try to save boys and girls as old
as nineteen at the risk of the injury of the rest.
One of these offenders can do more evil in one
month than a teacher can eradicate in three.
For years the Grand Jury, the District Attorney,
the Judges, the prison-keepers, and the press
have been urging the absolute necessity OF the
erection of a House of Correction, and although
Councils have lately paid little attention to
the subject, yet the undignifed squabbling
among the members in regard TO its location has
30 far defeated it.
The design Of this institution has also been to
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1869-07-01

The Radical politicians of Massa-
chusetts have discovered that the class
legialation which their party has been
engaged in at Washington is about to
come home to them in a way that is
not pleasant for Massachusetts ideas.
The fourteenth amendment to the
Federal Constitution, which was rati-
fed in 1867 and is now part of the
Constitution, excludes from represen-
tation all who are denied suffrage.
This was passed for the purpose of
compelling the South to give the cleo
tive franchise to the negroes. In the
preparation which is being made for
the new census, it is discovered that
it also applies to Massachusetts and
Rhode Island, and will reduce the
representation in that quarter in Con-
gress for the reason that in the for
mer State all, who cannot read and
write are denied the ballot, and in
Rhode Island foreigners without prop
erty cannot vote. Under this they
cannot be considered in the enumera-
tion which makes up the basis of rep
resentation. Massachusetts Radical
ism is therefore likely to have its own
power in Congress weakened by its
own World. soI s>I
