Climate fer luvaliSs.

The Cincinnati Chroaice 4 4tlas, notices a re-
markable fact in reference to climate. established
by meteorological observations published in the
last Patent Office Report. 1t is that the average
animal quantity of rain in the interior of the
North American continent is some IL inches less
than on the Atlantic coast, showing of course q
much dryer climate in the former. The editor
says:
conclusion may be drawn from this as to the
climate hest adapted to consumptive patients,
and those with Catarrhs or chronic bowel COM
plaints. They should prefer the climate Of the
North West, by far, to that of any part of the
Coast, however far South. The great Plain,
which stretches off west Of Missouri-the Prairies
If Wisconsin, and the Pine Lands Of Minnesota,
are the places for Chronic Invalids. The great
interior plain is far healthier than either Of the
old States. This fact will soon become known,
and Journeys West will be the prescription for
Consumptives, Dyspcptics and all other invalids

ss.eshi.s Abess de Disease and ias Cause.
The GALAXY for March states that during the
first half Of last year eight hundred persons i'm
New York were attacked by y single form of dis
esne, and Of the number six hundred died. Ply
sicians call this disorder cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts, which being Interpreted, means an infan,-
nation Of the membranes enveloping the brain
and spinal cord. Throughout the northern states
il is popularity known ~ spotted fever, in the
south ~ the cold plague, in Europe by various
technical and local names and in all countries Is
one Of the most deadly affections to which man
kind is subject. 1t frequently, - in the present
instance, sppears in the form Of an epidemic, and
its history Is, that these visfatiOns are liable to
recur after longer or shorter intervals Like ep-
idemic diseases in general il is, no doubt, largely
preventable, and ths wonder is that with the ex-
traOrdinary fatality which has always attended
it, there has never been any united, public de-
mand for the investigation Of its cause, CT the
means Of staying its spread. But in spite Of this
astonishing indifference on the part of those who
are most directly interested, physicians have OBJ
tanned some important facts, which seem to link
the origin of the dificulty with overcrowding
and the prevalence of filth, conditions which at
all times are too common in cities and towns,
but which, with stupid blindness to his own
hest interests, man is forever toierating The
evidence that cases of this disease originate, part
", at least through the operation of canses that
lie within our reach, though not - full as could
be wished, is still very convincing. OF this any
one may satisfy himself by consulting the i'd
mirable little work of DR.. NJ. Clymer, Of Y. In
a recently added appendix upon the question Of
the Of this disease, there facts contained
worth many times its whole cost, and deserve to
be in the possession Of every household in the
land, as the lesson they convey in universal ap-
plication. The prNlucts Vt vegetable and animal
decomposition in wells and springs-exhanstion
of noxiOus gases from sewers, Easements over
marshes, where the walls are never dry, and are
often covered with cryptograms-are among the
causes. The most usual defects discovered were
connected with the house drainage. These cases
are not confind to the abode Of the dirty, sqnxid
and poor. hut houses ola better class, with brown
stone fronts, have furnished their victims.

THE GENEVA AWARD.
FIFTEEN AND A-HALF MILLION DOLLARS
PAID OVER.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1S73.-An
historical event of national Importance
occurred here to-day which is likely to
find conspicuous place in the nations
history. About ten o'clock Sir Edward
Thornton, accompanied by Mr.. Archi-
oald, British Consul General at New
York. called on Secretary Fish at the
State Department and handed over to
him coin certificate representing fifteen
and one-half millions gold, the amount
awarded to the United States by the
Geneva Arbitration. The transfer Of
the money was not accompanied by any
formal speeches or addresses, but was
done in business like way. Secretary
Fish wrote out receipt in full for pay
ment of the money. which he handed
over to Minister thornton. and thus a
great controversy between two great ma
lions was settled, in financial point of
view. After few moments CONVERSE
ton the British Minister and Consul
General took their departure, looking in
a very happy frame of mind. At twelve
o'clock Secretary Fish, accompanied by
Assistant Secretary of State, J. Bancroft
Davis, drove to the Treasury Depart
ment and handed over the coin certificate
to Secretary Richardson, taking his re-
ceipt therefor. The latter is by law re-
quired to invest the money in five per
cent registered bonds to await further
action of Congress.

PUBLIC DOCUM ENTS--THE CUES.
TION OF DISPOSING OF THEM.

The last Congress, having failed to
make any changes in the laws relating
to the printing of public documents, it
has followed, of course, that the usual
number of such publications are now be-
ing forwarded TO the document rooms of
both houses, What is to be done with
them in the absence of the franking priv
ilege is matter to be decided by the
next Congress. Some of these docu-
ments are of general interest, and would
be in demand for price set, as in Eng
land, at the c. st thereof. Such volumes
as those three of the census and its COM
pendulum, Raymond's Mining Statistics,
Hayden's Geological Survey of the Ter
ritories, the report of '.Old Probabili-
ties on the operations for 1872 of the
Weather and Signal Bureau, with the
two extra volumes of the Annual Report
of the State Department. which will con
tain the official record of the Geneva
Tribunal, are among some of those now
being delivered at the capitol. Some
plan of distribution, as well as for print
ing hereafter some at least of the more
important reports, will have to be de-
vised by Congress.
The above from Washington report
err shows plainly that mistake was
made in the complete abolition of the
franking privilege. So long as the diff
ferent departments, which all admit to
be necessary in every government, are
maintained at Washington, the people
have right to be informed in regard to
their doings, and ought to have the ao-
vantage of all the useful knowledge that
can be gained from statistics, the dis
coveries in the sciences, the progress in
agriculture and mechanics, and the do
ings of the different branches of govern
ment. Much of this knowledge is con-
tanned in the books and reports that
| have hitherto been sent among the peo-
| pie. Unless some new means is de-
vised by which they can be distributed,
they will remain useless at Washington.
We hold that it is the duty of govern
ment to spread enlightment among the
people. and as it can enlighten US in
many practical and useful subjects by
circulating public documents, let them
be circulated freely even if few are
wasted and the expense of publishing
and distributing is something.

ocean carrying trade, which Melted $780,
100000 profits, has been almost exclu-
sively in the hands of foreigners, Amer
lean vessels on the ocean being outrank-
cd even by Germany, which came into
the commercial race so late. while Nor
way and Italy press closely upon our
heels. Now less than loo steamers
and 29S sailing vessels, with an aggre-
gate tonnage of about 100000 tons,
were constructed in the U. S. between
June | and the middle of August of
this year, while only about 100000
tons were constructed during the whole
year of 1872 Vessels are no longer
sent away to be repaired as formerly,
but our ship yards are full of business.
The Eastern States produce wooden
vessels mainly, while the Delaware,
with its admiral coal facilities, seems
destined to become as famous in iron
steamer-building as the Clyde.
We dwell upon our exports and means
Of transportation since it is very impor-
tant in estimating the financial and
business situation. Everybody has
wondered how France could manage to
pay ST, 2O0,000,000 to Germany, issue
a paper currency said to be not much
less than $40O,0OO.0 and yet keep
that paper at par in gold.
The secret is an open one. She exports
more than she imports-gold gravitates
toward her instead of being constantly
drained away as with US. She lives
within her means, and her people prac-
tice these petty economies that so shock
Americans. 1t is to be hoped that we
are entering upon the same career
our natural resources are infinitely more
capable Oft When our exports balance
our imports-when we no longer rur
into debt-then, and not until then, We
can hope to have our paper money ap
preciate to par. This is the only sure
cure for deranged money markets
dealing in the money of the world, which
will naturally rush in to supply any
temporary or artificial stringency; Other
remedies are but palliatives.-N. Z
