40 i'm places almost on level with the
sea, where imported eases come IN con-
tact with extraordinary local malaria
On the other hand, 1t never does pre-
vail above some fixed altitude, IN our
climate. If New Orleans were IA high
above the sea level ~ san Antonio,
it Is safe, from long experience, TO
assume that yellow fever could not
become epidemic there. unfortu-
nately New Orleans is but II few feet
higher than the sea, and, besides, Is
in the midst of malarious district.
We are not in possession of data to
say what is the highest elevation to
which yellow fever has attained in the
United States, but we do possess some
important facts on the subject San
Antonio is $50, New Braunlels G30, and
Austin $50 feet above the level of the
sea. TO each of those places, within
the last twenty-one years, innumcra-
BILE cases of yellow fever have been
carried. In each men thus arriving
have been nursed, some dying, Others
recovering; yet to this day not II sol
itary case has ever originated in either
town.
Now Dallas, as we understand, is lS2
feet above the sea, Marshall is 800 feet,
Terrell is 353 feet, Fort Worth is 7O1
feet. We are, so far, unable to find a
case in the United States where the
yellow fever has originated even rs
high as 400 feet above the level of the
sea. We can not assert to the contrary,
and would not dare, in the scale of hu-
man life, to stand obstinately on
doubtful points, but we are greatly
persuaded that Dallas, being 49, feet
above the sea, in the midst of high,
undulating prairie country, open tothe
purest breezes, is naturally fortified
against that much dreaded disease.
From Dallas west the whole country
abounds in plateaus, mounds and
mountains, as places of refuge for the
people of the coast, where, we assume,
it is impossible for this scourge to
find an abiding place. Extend the
Texas and Pacific Railroad one hun
dred miles west of Dallas, and the
whole coast people can easily retire by
rail to the most charming localities in
Palo Pinto, Shackleford, stephens,
Jones and Taylor counties, along its
line, and be as secure as over the
mountains of Santa Fe.
But these things aside, here we are
at the equinox, September 2lst, and
every town and county, unusually
healthy. Late as it is--cool and bra
cling as the weather is.-we have no
fear whatever of the disease, though
twenty cases We're daily imported.

Is strongly believed that Buddington
made south, along the western shore
ice, and is now safe on board some
whaler. Public opinion. however, both
here and ut the Greenland posts, finds
great fault with Commander Green for
returning along the Upernavik coast
instead Of keeping over by the western
ice. He is also blamed for not bring
ing away the Esquimaux from Little
ton Island, so rs to extract from them,
through Tyson and Joe, fuller particu-
lars of the abandonment of the Polaris
by Buddington's party.

large one. In 1861 the exports of the

SRwING GMACuINEs.--The sale of sewing
machines during the year 1872 amounted Ia
the extraordinary number of SOL ,736, divided
among tweniy-opc companies. Three Of
these companies alone,-the Singer, Howe
aud Wheeler g. Wilson, ,--sold 5Sss48, the
prohIsupon which are simply enormous. The
high prices which are charged for sewing.
machines grows out of the fact that three OIL
four OF the leading companies have combined
and r,fuse 10 give ths later inventors the
right 10 use the patented feed movement
which is essential to the success ofmachines,-
even In consideration of the payment of royal
ty,-unless they agree to seb at rate not less
than 500 This accounts for the FAC, that, In
the face Of unusual competition and with 81
different machines In the market il Is impossi-
bio to buy machine for less than 600, which
only costs about $15 TO make.
