FRIAR's PoINT, MISS, Sept. 26. lS7l.l,
To Hon. Jacob Thompson and Colonel j. M,
| Powell:
GENTLEMEH-On recent trip North
for my health, having been in Brooklyn,
l.. l., took occasion to visit your EN-
bryo City of Ida, lit was not very far
Off with view to seeing before pur-
chasing; and according to your request,
present my views in connection with its
suitability as a site for city. About
thirty-six miles from the city of New
York, on the Long Island railroad, stu
ated on a plateau of small scrub oak
and pine land, elevated about forty feet
above tide-water, gently rolling and ele-
eantly suited for draining purposes;
fixed high and dry above all miasmatic
influences, and subject to the healthy
atmosphere of climate whose extremes
are tempered with mountain air and a
delightful sea breeze-the site of the
intended City of Ida may be seen.
The soil, i was informed by farmers
living in the neighborhood, is good av-
erage for farming purposes, having, as |
observed, depth apparently of from
three to six inches, of q good vegetable
mould, the underlying stratum being
most generally of coarse, gravelly
character.
AS a speculation, / believe your city
lots to be good one. Energy aud en-
terprise can make or build up a large
town or city on the position. All it lacks
is the effort. Put forth the effort and
the desired result will unquestionably
follow. A. I. Stewards city of Breslau,
thirty miles from New York, on the South
Side railroad, and about six miles from
Ida, with population of several thou
sand, was two years ago in the woods.
The spare ground on Manhattan Island
| is being rapidly built on, and New York
can spread no further. Brooklyn, Will
liamsburg, Hoboken, Jersey City, etc.,
are being filled up to the utmost capacity
| OF their nurse ThlNOhusi III aSOOmihO
dating the business men and women
whose domicils they are. The ferries,
in some instances, are not now con-
sidered sufficient for the steadily in
creasing population, and bridges are
being constructed, spanning East river,
to aid the moving masses in an easy
transit to their homes. The steam en-
CINE is also brought into requisition in
the great work of transporting the me-
cbanic from his workshop to more dis
tant, but cheaper and healthier, homes
in the country. And thus cities are
springing up in every direction, within
easy access, at distances from one to
two hours ride on the cars.
Very respectfully, WIN. HEwsoN,
G. E. and Surveyor.

pntent Prepared wheat.

Messrs. Lyle a. Shields, Duffy & Casey,
G. B. Patterson, and VIM. Whitaker,
grocerymen of this city have the patent
prepared wheat for sale. In few days
nearly all the grocers of the city will be
supplied with this nutritious article of
food. The prepared wheat has been
particularly recommended to people of
sedentary habits, for children, invalids,
and for general family use. In the pre-
paration of this wheat the chemical
properties are preserved intact, which
properties are absolutely necessary for
digestion. Upon this interesting topic
the London Saturday Review, under date
of March A, 1870, in review of DR..
Lathebys celebrated lectures on food,
says:
There can be no doubt that wheat,
in its entirety, contains, beyond most
other food, the arious elements that enter
into the composition Of the human body
the flesh forming principles SO impor-
tant to nutrition and growth, together
with the phosphates of the bran essential
to the nurture Of the brain and the for
nation of the bones and teeth. The re-
searches of DR.. Grow Calvert tend to
show that the sifted -four contains only
trace of the phosphates, especially the
soluble ones, the bran containing large
quantity; the latter, with other mineral
elements, not combining with the organic
matter, but existing in free condition.
The elimination Of the phosphates leaves
the product imperfectly fit for food. A
certain quantity of non-nutritive and
unasamilable matter is, moreover, nee
essary for the digestion and assimilation
of the alimentary PARTICLES. The pres
ence of the bran acting as vehicle for
the transmission Of the residue Of d.
gestion through the system obviates the
necessity Of medicine, removing much
of the nervous irritability which attends
upon constipation.

PoKING FUN.


The World newspaper is fond of
poking fun at Horace Greeley. This is
the last;
Mr.. Greeley is not a mere pleasure
seeker, nor does he dawdle anywhere to
any appreeiable extent. He has long
since absented himself from horse-races,
and for some years has not been present
at a single dog-6ght Although passion
ately fond of the dance, he rarely yields
to its Vaccinations, and limits himself to
an occasional waltz at some small, quiet
gathering. Whenever he is called upon
to express his views upon any subject
whatever, he does so with a clearness
and force that cannot easily be sur
passed. Were he to write Presidential
message we may be sure that there would
be no feeble Sinking of the truth in its
ringing Anglo-Saxon sentences. The
English foreign secretary who hest
tated to acknowledge the errors of
the Alabama business would be plainly
called liar" and the Senate which
might decline to indorse a Presidential
scheme for the irrigation of the Hacken-
sack meadows would find no want Of
clearness or comprehension in the charge
of having been bought with British gold.
The clearness with which Mr. Greeley
asserts his own convictions and the com
prehensiveness with which he classes all
men who differ with him under the head
Of liars and villains are as familiar as
so many forcible, even if improper,
household words, Beyond q doubt in
thus describing the sort Of man who
ought to be nominated and elected, Mr..
Greeley intended to describe himself as
he appears to the mass of his admiring
countrymen.

THE AsrAr1C CHOLERA.

This terrible eplueuici ~ woo s"P
posed, had this year reached European
Russia from Asia through Orenburg IN
latitude ffty-one degrees and thence
nearly due west to Moscow in fifty-hve
degrees of latitude. This epidemic, how
ever which originated in Hindostan in
1867. and prevailed in that country Tor
two wears, is supposed to have pursued
its western course through Russia by two
routes The first advance has been
traced along the great northern Persian
route by way of Cabul, then due west to
Herat, Meschid, and Teheran and south
of the Caspian Sea to Tabreez. From
this city the disease, it is reported, ad'
vanced northward between the Caspian
Sea and the Black Sea to Tifisjust, south
of the Caucasus, and then Travelled north
ward into Russia, gradually reaching As
trakhan, at the mouth of the Volga. 1t is
believed that the cholera started on its
course through middle and eastern Russia
from Tabreez by the route just mentioned
TO Astrakhan, rather than from Oren-
burg. The second column OF the epl-
demic. cholera, it is believed, left Ia
breez and, passing westward, reached
Trebizonde, the great port of the south
western coast of the Black Sea. From
Trebizonde, in the past history OF the
cholera, the disease has frequently passed
along the southern shores of the Black
Sea, but in 1869 the epidemic seems to
have crossed over to Taganrog, at the
mouth of the river Don, and at the head
of the Sea of Azof. Taganrog has a
population of ten thousand souls, and
the harbor being open three months
earlier in the spring than the other Black
Sea ports, and three great fairs being
held there every year, vast numbers OF
merchants from all parts of Russia are
nearly all the time collected at that city.
Two hundred miles north of Taganrog
is the important city of Kharkot,
and still farther north on the di-
rect route to Moscow are the cities
of Koursk and Toula, to and
through which the trade is enormous.
Moscow has therefore suffered from the
approach of cholera by two great routes,
the southern and eastern, and this cpl
demic has Travelled from Moscow. through
wilma to Koenigsberg, in Northeastern
Prussia. There seems, however, to have
been another path of the cholera west
ward, from Taganrog along the north
coast of the Black Sea to Odessa and
Jassa, in the extreme southeastern part
of Russia, to Debretzin, in Hungary.
From Debretzin the cholera has trav-
eled on through Buda and Vienna, and
cases are reported at LEIPZIG and Vi
emma, and even in Paris. The present
routes of the cholera apparently sustain
the opinion of the medical profession
that the disease follows great lines of
trade, accompanying men and merchan-
diaa

IT is said that the recent election in
California developed species of fraud
that is at once novel and scientific. On
a number of ballots, nitrate ofssilver had
been applied to the name of the tax
payers candidate for assessor. This
substances produces no immediate effect,
SO that the voter would deposit the ballot
without suspicion. By the time, how
ever, the box was opened to count the
vote, the name was entirely erased by
the chemical action of the drug on the
ink. 1t is painful to see SO respectable
a science as chemistry prostituted to the
purpose of election frauds.
