TREES The Mobile Tribune says: A very
striking illustration of the influence which trees
have upon rain is given by gentleman, who
has lust visited the island Of Santa Cruz, w est
Indies. Twenty years ago he was there, and 10!
the island was lovely garden throughout ITS
length and breadth. + Trees. native to It and
flowers everywhere fourished, and the soil was
fertile. When his last visit was made he found
third of the island a. desert waste; the. soil
was parched and barren as the seashore. The
destruction of vegetation is steadily going on,
and the planters. -one after another abandon
their farms, as they yield them nothing. The
only way to account for the great change IS
that nearly pill of the trees have been cut down,
and the amount of rain which has fallen since
has not been enough to keep the land re-
freshed. s.-s@
METEoRs.-There was splendid meteorlc
shower in Greece in November, and more
wonderful one at Suez At that point 80, 600
meteors fell They are thus described Most
of the meteors were of blush white tlnge;
but in the northern sky there were great num-
bers of intense brilliancy, which changed from
violet to red, and shot down, In changing,
from Cassiopeia to the horizon. Near the
radiant point they moved very slowly, increas-
ing their sw1iftness of flight in proportion as
they emerged from the spot Of apparent orlgIl-
nation. The colors named were not the only
ones observed, for there were likewise various
shades Of delicatc green, of yellow, and of vivid
crimson" - 1000 ...

CAN TT BE TRUE?-Within the last few
months considerable number of persons
have called upon Dr. WALKER, the pro-
prietor of the popular medicine known as
VINEGAR BITTERs, and assured him that,
in their belief, his preparations are an in
fallible antidote for rum and tobacco. The
minute details which have been furnished
him forbid him to doubt the accuracy of
the state ments. This new claim ofa great
remedy to the confidence of the public will
give vast and well-deserved impulse to
its popularity Heretofore the BTTTERs
have been recognized as pure vegetable
tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol, and
thoroughly adapted to the cure of the
stomach and bowel complaints, nervous
disorders, bilious affections, muscular dis
eases, and, indeed, majority of the all
ments within the reach of medicine but
if it will also cure the craving for liquor
and tobacco philosophers, statesmen and
theologians ought TO unite their voices in
its praise. Can the good things be true ?
| 1t is easy to test the question.
