Guatemala as a Resort for COnsump.
tive Persons.

A recent communication by DR..
James Wynne, of Guatemala City, to
the Royal Medical and Chirurgical So
cety Of London, calls attention to the
advantages Of the Pacific coast of tropi-
cal America, and especially of Guate-
mala, as a residence for con.umptive
patients. This city is situated 5000 feet
above the sea, in latitude l40 81 32//
north, having mean temperature Of
660 +. The climate is that of perpetual
spring; the air is tonic and invigorat-
ing, yet not too stimulating. Consump-
ton is very rarely met with, and phthisi-
cal patients coming from distance, if
able 10 lead an opsn.air life, make re-
markable progress. OF twelve cases
recorded, four died, FIVE recovered, while
three still remained under observation.
Of the fatal cases, the disease had
reached a hopeless stage in all but one,
before being seen for the first time. 1t
is suggested that the value of the Cen
trail American plateaus in phthisis
should be tested 10y sending out twenty
patients in an early stage Of the disease
for few years, or, better, for perma-
nent residence.

Outrage on Masculine Innocence.

They tell of "a new dodge" in Lon.
don, for which the law provides no rem
edy. An unsuspecting man is treading
some sidewalk when he feels his arm
grasped by charming woman. He is
about to ask the reason of the proceed
ing, when she begins to weep. At once
people stop to gaze upon her and the
unsuspecting man, and she volunteers
the information between sobs that the
man has treated her improperly. She
is, however, in sore need, and if he will
help her with the boon familiarly known
as eighteen.pence, she will forgive and
forget him as soon as possible. The sum
is ridiculously small, and As general
thing the unsuspecting man disburses
it rather than undergo further trouble.
One woman has been tried and convict
ed number of times of this annoying
outrage on innocence and virtue but
there is no law to punish her.

IL was. But the brawlng creek he
had swan a few hours before had risen,
more than doubled its volu q, and now
rolled swift and resistless river between
| him and Rattlesnske Hill. For the first
time that night Richards heart sank
within him. The river, the mountain,
the quickening east swan before his
eyes. He shut them 10 recover his self
control In the brief interval, by some
fantastic mental process the little room
at Simpsons Bar and the figures of the
sleeping father and son rose upon him.
He opened his eyes wildly, cast off his
coat, pistol, boots and saddle, bound his
precious pack tightly to hls shoulders,
grasped the bare fanks of Jovita with
his barred knees, ard with shout dashed
into the yellow water. A cry rose from
the opposite bank as the head Of a man
and horse struggled for few moments
against the battling current, and then
were swept away amidst uprooted trees
and whirling drift.wood.
The Old Man started and woke. The
fire on the hearth was dead, the candle
in the outerroom pickering in its socket,
and somebody was rapping at the door.
He opened it, but fell back with cry
before the dripping, halfnaked figure
that reeled against the door-post.
"Dck p
Hush Is he awake YETI"
No--but Dick p"
"Dry up, you old fool Get me .ome
whisky-gmck r' The Old Man flew and
returned with an empty bottle Dick
would have sworn, but his strength was
not equal TO the occasion. He staggered,
caught at the handle of the door, and
motioned TO the Old Man.
"Thar's suthin' in my pack yer for
Johnny. Take it off. | can't"
The Old Man unstrapped the pack
and laid it before the exhausted man.
"Open it, quick"
He did so with trembling fingers. 1t
contained only few poor toys-cheap
and barbaIic enough, goodness knows,
but bright with paint and tinsel. One
of them was broken; another, fear,
was irretrievably ruined by water and
on the third-ah me there was a cruel
spot.
1t don't look like much, that's
fact" said Dick, ruefully.
y Dul lIS the DcsI we cOulu 90.
Take 'em, Old Man, and put 'em
in his stocking, and tell him, you
know--hold me, Old Man" The Old
Man caught at his sinking figure. Tell
him." said Dick, with a weak little
laugh" tell him that Sandy Claus has
come"
And even 50, bedraggled, ragged, un,
shaver and unshorn, with one arm
hanging helplessly at his side, Santa
Claus came to Simpsons Bar and fell
fainting on the first threshold The
Christmas dawn came slowly after,
touching the remoter peaks with the
rosy warmth Of inefable love. And it
looked so tenderly on Simpsons Bar
that the whole mountain, as if caught
in generous action, blushed TO the
skies.-AAanhc Monthly for March.

Sweetly illustrating

Shy as The antelope
Brown as a berry
Free as the mountain air,
Romping and merry.
Blue eyes and hazel eyes
Peep from the hedges.
Shaded by sun-bonnets
Prayed az the edges.
Up in the apple trees.
Heedless OF danger.
Manhood In embryo
Starcs at the stranger.
Out in tho hilly patch.
See king the berries
Under the orchard tree
Feastiug on cherries
Trampling the clover blossoms.
Down 'mong the grasses,
No vol G 10 hinder them.
Dear lads and lasses
No grim propriety-

FREQ as the birdlines
From city restriction
Coming the purest blood,

The New York Herald protests
against the introduction of person
alities intoa political campaign. As
for the Cincinnati nominee, 1t says ::
Horace Greeley is a true type of
American life-a self made, honest
hearted, energetic man, having his pc
culiarities and eccentric notions. but
all the more American on that account.
If he wears COW hide boots, destitute of
polish, thev have carried him bravely
through an honorable career, marked
out by enterprise and ending in sue
cess If his coat hangs loosely on his
shoulders and drags at his heels. it
buttons over a heart that is proud of
the land of his birth and full of kindly
feelings for his fellow men. If his old
white hat lacks the fashionable curve
in the brim. and look like venerable
and not well preserved family relic. it
covers brain full of genius, ever
ready to labor in the cause of freedom
and for the advancement OF the human
race. Ridicule and abuse are harmless
weapons against such man, for the
people of the United States know him
and honor him. and every eye has
kindly look and every hand friendly
grasp for "Uncle Horace"

From the Greensboro (N. c. Patriot.
Richmond.

We spent a few days Of last week in the
historic city on the James, and were pleased
to observe in all directions those evidences of
improvement and progress which are sure
indications of the greatness that is to be
hers in the no distant future. Situated rs
she is, OH her many hills, OH the great high
way of travel north and south, with splendid
railroad and water facilities for purposes of
commerce, with an enterprising and .ener-
getic population, with the tlmbling James,
which has no superior us Il water-pOwer in
either hemisphere, there is nothing to pre-
vent her from becoming in the near future
one of the first mercantile and manutactur-
ing points OH this continent.
In addition to her water resources she has
her coal-fields within an hours ride, and the
hills about her have in their bosomS rs fine
granite as is buried in the earth. Many OF
these splendid quarrics are now being worked
successfully and proftably, and the time will
come when they will bea source of immense
wealth to the enterprise that opens them.
Just at this season merchants complain of
dull times, which are variously accounted
for; but the chief reason seems to be the
uncertainty and delay which hangs over the
legislation OH the tobacco taX-eSpecially that
on plug tobacco, in the manufacture OF which
10 small amount of money is invested.
Yet, Notwithstanding the dull times COM
planned OF, the merchants are making COM
lnendable effort to secure the trade of dealers
from distance, with fair prospects Of sue
cess and reasonable hope of soon making
their city a first-class wholesale market. And
why should she not be? She possesses adj
yautages equal to other cities, and if our
southern merchants would show her half
the chance they show to northern cities they
would soon have market they could call
their own, and Il city of which the whole
South might be proud. 1t should not only
be matter OF policy, but also of pride, to
build up our own cities, and by doing SO
thus contribute to the greatness of our own
section.
Had not these suicidal notions of economy
prevailed, and had our people contributed q
1.-THE to our cities of what they have to those
Of the North, we would have our rivals to
New York and Philadelphia on our own sea-
boards and rivers. Let the southern people
study their own interests as they should, and
a quarter of century hence can be counted
the tenements that will shelter quarter Of a
million of people in Richmond, and the shops
that will give employment to the thousands
of men whose genius and enterprise will
build up the South and make her greater
than she ever was.

GREENSBORO, n. G., April II, 1872.
am in my room and preparing to retire,
but cannot refrain from pciniDg few para
graphs that your numerous readers may
catch flint idea Of the splendor and the
loneliness Of the little town Of Greensboro
and its beautiful surroundings. This little
town, having, FROM What have been able to
gather from the citizens, q population OF
about four thousand, is situated at the ter
minus of the Richmond and Danville road,
and is now clothed in the bright liabilaments
Of spring. 1t has been called the Clown Of
Flowers" and no other name would suit ii
better or be more appropriate. Really,
have seen here some Of the most beautiful
yards and HoWcr-gardcns my eyes ever be-
held-so much art and exquisite taste dis
played in arranging the walks, the shrub
berry, and the eyergreens. But aIl this love.
illness is not solely attributable to the hand
Of art. Nature seems to have layishcd hei
gifts upon this little town. Tie situation is
grand and beautiful almost beyond descrp-
ton, and the soil is admirably adapted to the
growth of shrubs, flowers, and yard-grass
the town is handsomely laid of, and some
lovely and costly residences and other build
ings adorn its streets.
upon the lovely flowers and inhaling their
rich fragrance, is worth trip all the way
from the city of Richmond. -s,s 4, /,
This is not tobacco-growing country,
and consequently the town does not feed on
tobacco, as Danyille, though one or two
warehouses have recently been built, and
small quantities of tobacco are being raised
and sent here. The citizens think that the
production of tobacco in this region will be
increased, as the soil seems tolerably well
adapted to its growth.
The Presbyterian and Methodist churches
are tlourishing, but the Baptists are quite
weak. They are worshipping in the Odd:
Fellows Hall. The erection of their house
of worship is now in progress; but they
need help, and Richmond ought to aid them
in firmly planting their banner in this little
inland town. ...:..-
The citizens are in good spirits, and have
bright faces, and the ladies are generally goo(
looking-somc of them beautiful. -
The State Conservative Convention vii
meet here on the 1st of May, and grea

wane.
