The great event Of the week. to the people
of Salina and vicinity, will Ike the presentation
o. the oratorio Of Esther, the Beautiful Queen,
commencing this Thursday evening and to be
repeated OH Friday and Saturday evenings.
The concerts will be given in the spacious audi
ence room Of the new Methodist church. which
is now being fitted with a stage for the
singers and with ample sitting room for the
large audiences which will be In attendance.
There has been constantly increasing inter-
est manifested in these concerts since the first
there Is most common able effort OF the part
Of all to encourage the musical ones - their
undertaking. Tie effect Of this spirit has been
to inspire tile singers with confidence and an
ambition 10 meet the great expectations of
their friends. Nevertheless. We cannot be-
lievc but what Mr.. l.. ii. Matlit has In store a
very pleasant surprise for the people. with all
their great expt ctations," and feel assured
that this evenings concert will bear us ont in
this belief. There have been some forty sing
ers engaged in practicing the choruses nearly
every evening during the past two weeks. and
have given especial attention to the effective
rendering Of the light and heavy chOru.cs. 1t
devclves upon those carrying the presentations
to give some exquisite solos and Ducts. The
most prominent impcrsOna'ion is Esther. the

that IS more or less exposed to public view,
and, IN wet or damp weather, is passable
only at the risk of getting wet feet, drag
ling through wet grass or weeds, plod-
ding through mud or facing cold winds and
storms.
AS a natural consequence, the generality
of delicate ladies soon school themselves to
a postponement of the demands of nature,
sometimes for days together, rather than
expose themselves to the danger of taking
cold and to the certainty OF great annoy
ance. Sometimes modesty, ami sometimes
the dread of discomfort and exposure. is the
motive. II all cases the result is the same.
The natural functions become disordered,
the digestion is impaired, and dyspepsia,
with its thousand and one horrors, breaks
down the constitution and lays the founda-
ton for all manner of " female complaints"
1t IS unnecessary to enlarge on this sub
ject. Every sensible lady who has been
subjected to the evil alluded to must accept
the foregoing statement of the case as a true
one, and recognize the fact that any plan
by which suitable accommodations can be
provided WITHIN THE HOUSE offers
unspeakable relief.
In addition to this, all ladies who have
had the least experience in sich-rooms
know that nothing connected with our
lives is more horrible than the want Of
suitable accommodation for helpless inva-
lids (aud this not even the WATER
CLOSET supplies)- horrible for the at
tendant, and still more horrible for the
invalid.
The most perfect relief in both cases
is afforded by the use of the

instead, but gross superstition still reigns

We are the products of the soil on which we live,
and all our prosperity depends directly or indirectly,
on our ability to make use of its productive power.
More than tins, SO far as we can trace our prosperity
to the agricultural productions of the soil. It will be
more or IesSln direct proportion to the solIS fertility.
Ii the history of the world teaches any thing it is
that Individuals and nations prosper or decline in pro-
portion as the soil is rich or poor and that lat least
in northern countries) civilization progresses as agri-
culture thrives, and rccedes as the fertility of the
soil becomes less. Any cause that sh0 uId stop the
production Of food would, OF course, put a stop to all
human life, and any cause that should materially lessen
It would speedily end ali accumulation of the results
ofIabor, and compel all who are able to live under
the new conditions to the one task of securing food
and clothing. That which we call our WeaIth-hOuSes,
highways, and all other products of civiizaton-re-
presents, IN the main, the excess Of the products of
the soil beyond the need for food Of those by whose
labor they are produced. This excess is exchanged
for that which the farm cannot produce, and supports
others, who are thereby enabled to apply their labor
TO other industries. Without Mt all Undertaking the
work OF those who do not cultivate the soil, and with
out attaching undue importance TO the farmer class
as constituent elements of society, it must be clear
TO all who give the subject the least consideration that,
IN the long run, no economy can be of much value that
is not accompanied by a careful preservation of the
producing capacity Of the soil.
II may be taken as a seIfevident proposition, that
national prosperity depends on the fertility of the soil
and on the health and vigor of the people, and that

with a seat over it, and a box of dry
earth beside it; paper bags of earth to
be used in connection with any suitable
vessel any arrangement, in fact, by
which the fPces may be covered with
earth will amply suffice, and the ~necessi-

or of creating an offence in the house is

The liquids that fall upon it. In mulutudes of cases the
well is but a few yards or feet from a cesS-poal, that
receives the kitchen sops on one hand aud a privy-
vault on the other. Earth has a remarkable power Of
absorption and disinfection, but this power chiefly re-
sides in its fine and i~mpalpabie portiOas-in the clay,
and not in the coarse PARTICLES Of sand. A we'll, dis
tant fifty feet horizontally from a prVy-yault, both in

In his researshes on the cholera, in Bavaria, in 1854,
Pettenk0fer traced its spread in several cases, in the
most indubjtable manner, to the use of water which had

The use of open vaults or water-clOsets emptying

breaks out in fevers and dysentery. The danger in

the soil and move upward and downward in it with tha
