PANAMA STAR AND HERALp.-There is an
nice young man, the son Of = respectable mer-
chant living in Carthagena, who for seven
years had suffered from an attack of elephan-
tiasis He was in the last period of this terrible
disease-his body full OF ulcers and the fingers
ready to fall off. when q Caracas paper fell into
his hands announcing that the flesh Of the
turkey buzzard had been found to be q sure
remedy in Cuba. He has since been living on
the flesh of this 'sunclean bird for two
months, and was reported almost we'll The
nails and the hair have been reproduced. The
ulcers and protuberances have disappeared

HINDOO WHAT CROP.

The grain buyers had great dea. to
say last summer about the wheat crop
OF India. Here we have the figures:
IAN English paper informs US lthat in
1860, Calcutta exported only 1000 tons
of wheat. In 1875 she exported $4,000
tons, and for nine months OF 1876, 12O, 900
tons have already been exported, which
would be something over 100000 BUSH
els, counting 33 - bushels to the ton,
though the English ton is more than
1000 pounds"
All that fuss about four million bush>
els. About onc-eighth the wheat crop
of Minnesota for the year 1875. But
when the farmers were selling their
wheat one would have thought that the
Hindoo wheat crop was four hun-
dred million bushels instead of four mill
lions. And it must be remembered tina,
the wheat exports of Calcutta do moi
by any mean all go to England.

THE USE or TOBACCO.

We are sometimes inclined to think that the
injurious consequences resulting from the use
OF tobacco are rs great as those from alcohol.
To he sure, tobacco does not drive men to
murder and suicide and thus shock society
but it gradually undermines the system: and
prepares it for the use of whiskey, by creating
. demand for a more powerful stimulans
A recent writer on the subject SAYS:
The effect Of tobacco smoking AS described
by the Scientific American, are dlscoloring Of
the teeth by carbon, excitement Of the salivary
glands by the ammonia, headache and LASH
tude from the carbonic acid, nausea from the
bitter extract, and tainting OF the breath by
volatile epyreumatic substance The system
may become used to these things, yet Is made
liable to consumption, nervous exhaustion
paralysis and other ailments. To sumup the
evils: effects on individuals likewise efiec,
communities;thes in turn influence thetnation
No person that smokes can be il
perfect health,o and an imperfec
organism cannot reproduce perfect one
Therefore il is logical to conclude that, WEIR
smoking the practice of every individual OF
nation, then that people would degenerate into
physically interior race.

The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

furnishes . certificate sale: Now,
suppose q man invests five hundred
dollars in titles upon property actually
worth at least thirty thousand dollars.
At the end of the first. year the purS
chaser's hen on the property amounts to
1920, the interest having been $12O.
Then # the property is not redeemed, the
tax sale purchaser pays his second years
taxes. making his investment $1.120,
which at the end of the second year is
increased by $3.50 interest. At this time
redemption expires. and the owner must
either redeem or lose his property. II
he redeems he must refund to the pur.
chaser the ST. 900 paid in taxes, and also
the $500 interest; or. failing in this, the
tax sale purchaser acquires title to thirty
thousand dollars worth of property fol
$1,360. Do you see how good thing
the purchaser has?"
These are hard times and many hav,
failed to pay their taxes simply becaus,
they had not the money; neither tthei
labor nor their property would brins
money. Is it right or inst under sucl
circumstances to turn the property owe
to some heartless Spectator for ont
third Of its true value? Do not the cit
liens of a state deserve more mercifu
treatment? Is government instituted

for their possessions. yet he respected
property. The violence of his paper, at
periods, came from meaner natures en-
trusted with that power" George Alfaed
Townsend.
It was sad calamity for this country
when good old Horace Greedy was de-
feated for the presidency. He would
have been mediator between the pas
sions of his era. His taithfulness to Lbs
erty had given him the confidence Of the
north and of the negroes; while his gen
crosby and sense of justice had won the
hearts of the better elements of the south
He would have brought peace to that
troubled section protecting the black
man from the white, and the southerner
from the carpet Dagger. ;,
We fear that in the furnace of terrible
tribulation the country will yet recogize
the great loss it sustained when that grea
brain and broad heart were trampled In
to the grave.

bly,, there may be a "refuent wave,' pouring
over the exhausted lands Of the east.
That explanation is not sufficient
There has always been west behind
Massachusetts. The true explanation IS
that the powers of the general govern
ment have been employed for years to
enrich the manufacturing class at the
expense of the agricultural; and the res
suit is. great cities and deserted farms.
Here in the west farming succeeds SIM
ply because OF the virgin richness Of our
soil; but the condition of the west will
one dav be the same as that of Massa>
chusetts if the same forces continue tc
operate.
