The President Of the United States.

The union of the two wings of the Republl-
can party in Missouri is Immediately followed
by other equally significant political moVements
In the District Of Columbia, where new form
of government has been lately adopted, and
where very exciting and bitter canvass was
made for Mayor last summer, owing TO dIyl-
sion of sentiment among the hepu6llcans, the
two narties have come together under one or
oanization and upon terms satisfactory to all.
The crumbs of comfort which the Democracy
have been gathering of late by some discussions
in the Republican ranks are not SO comforting
after all. President Grant is showing himself
great in peace as well as in war-MSstSSippia

value is in its shell are abundant in the deep
sea a few miles from land, quite around the
island. Several varieties of she'll fish are
brought into the market in limited amount. A
small oyster is very abundant in certain local..
ties, growing attached to the mangroye bushes.
They are eaten by the natives, but are not so
palatable as the oyster of more northern lati-
tudes.

CLIMATE AND HEALTH.

The testimony of witnesses, the observation
of the Commissioners, and the reports of spe-
cial Investigations, show that it is generally
healthy country. Immigrants easily become
accustomed to the climate. On the coast,
where hot weather prevails, care must be
taken
The popular idea that the Dominican terri
tory is particularly unhealthy, and that per-
sons visiting it are peculiarly liable to yellow
fever is entirely erroneous. The average gen.
ersi health and longevity is quite equal to and
probably greater than that of the United States,
as whole. Immigrants are not liable to any
more disturbance of general health in the pro-
cess of acclimation than are persons who pass
from the old To the new States of the United
States, and, saving upon the sea-coast, the pro-
cess is so gentle as to escape notice. Taking
the year through, as much agricultural work
can be done without affecting health as can be
done in our Middle and Western States, aud
with greater results
