THE EUCALYPTUS.

On the 18th December one of the de-
puties to the Italian Parliament, named
Comm. presented an order of the day, re-
questing the Government to promote the
cultivation of the Eucalyptus Gtobutus,
a tree which possesses the virtue of de-
stToying fever malaria. The Parliament
rejected the order of the day. But the en-
terprise OF some of the despised Religious
Orders has done to some extent what the
Italian Legislature declines to attempt.
The Trappists at the Convent of St. Paul
at the Three Fountains have successfully
undertaken the culture of this wonderful
plant, and proved that it can be made to
grow in any quantity upon Roman soil.
One Frederic Won Hellward, in the German
review, the Ausland, thus describes the
operations of the Trappists ;" When
visited the Convent of the Three Foun-
tains l saw young plantations of the
Eucalyptus, the taliest of the trees being
thirteen feet high. The Eucalyptus Globu-
ius possesses in an eminent degree the prop
erty of dispelling fevers and one may see
in Spain, Algiers, and Cuba, many tracts of
land which in a short time were purged OF
fevers by the Eucalyptus and rendered
salubrioue. The result was Obtained as
mach by the absorbent power of the roots,
which removes the humidity of the soil, as
by the balsamic and csmphorous perfume
emitted by the leaves. l was always con-
vlnced that the malaria of the Roman Cam
pagna could only be com Dated with sue
cess by means of the Eucalyptus The
only question in my opinion was whether
the climate of Rome would suit this pre-
cious aud delicate plant. My surprise was
great ia finding the question solved with
complete success. On my visit to the
the Trappsts and was permitted by the
monk who acted ae gardener to examine
everything infinitely and to collect all de-

Marietta Journal There are in
Georgia about 15O, 900 dogs, allowing one
dog to every seven persons. 1t is admitted
that the food required to feed a dog would
be amply sufficient to sustain and fatten q
pig. Then the food consumed by our pets
would raise $50 900 hogs every year, worth
$50, or $4,000, QUO for the lot, to say
nothing of the sLeep destroyed annually.
In the last sixty days sixty-four sheep have
been killed in three miles of Thomas II.
MOore's house in Cobb county. A dog law
becomes an imperative necessity.

IRISH STATIsTIcs.-Accordin to the las
quarterly returns of births, marriage
and deaths in Ireland, furnished by th
Irish Registrar General, during the quar-
ter ending with September there were r,
gistered in the 79l registration districts,
Ireland % 5S5 births. This number
equal to an annual birth rate of 243 p.
600 of the estimated population. TIL
deaths registered were 1920, represent
ing an annual mortality of I45 per 900
In the same period 13 ,033 persons emil
grated. An increase of 263 would, there
fore, appear to have taken place in the
population of ireland, which is estimated
to have been $500 ,494 in the middle of
this year. This is, perhaps, the first
quarter for over quarter of a century in
which the population returns of the coun
try showed an increase, and petty though
the figure of the increase may be, it will
be memorable as what we hope will be
the turning point in the long and ex-
hsusting process of depopulation to which
the country has been subjected. The
Irish birth rate was somewhat under and
the death rate slightly over the average
for the corresponding quarter of the prev
ious five years. The deaths from scarlet
fever, though still very numerous, con
tinue to decrease, and there has been a
gratifying decline in mortality from small
pox. The average price of Alb loaf,
during the third quarter of 1875 was I'd
being halfpenny cheaper than in the
corresponding quarter OF 1874. The ave-
rage prices per cwC. of potatoes in Dublin
were 2s I0l to As sd. against A 10 So 1Od
in the same quarter of 1874. Beef was
56s Cd to 79' Cd per cwt., against SIS Cd to
77s Cd in 1874. The average number Of
persons receiving indoor relief during the
came quarter was Al, 342 against Az, 794 for
the corresponding period of last year
while the numbers on the outdoor re-
lief were %, 467 against Dc, 6I3

Some time ago told you l would send

done by new settler in the pine woods.
/ find II more difficult task than pre-
snmed-there is 30 much TO say to give an
adequate idea of what has been accom-
plisbed that l am afraid in this short com
municatiOn, l shall fall far short of my in
tentioHs. If, however, 1t will be the means
of stirring up an interest in this sec
ton o: country shall he more than salts
fed.
About the early part of October 1874
Mr-a ship carpenter pretty we'll
advanced in years settled q tract of
land that he had just purchased i'll this
parish with the intention, as he then said,
of trying to make a living in the pine
woods.
His land was a thicket of pine saplings
and briars. No house to live iu-there was
an old hOuse on the place, aud this be took
down, and with the material put up a
smaller one-sufficient for himself, wife and
daughter-then commenced clearing his
ground for a crop.
He was without team, so built himself
a light cart that could be drawn by hand,
whereWith, aided by his wife and daughter
he hauled logo and rails to fence in about 6
acres If land, of which, however, only
were actually cultivated. On these four
acres he raised 35 bns. rice, IS bus. sweet
potatoes, bbls. Irish potatoes, bbls. COW
peas, , bbla. peanuts, s bbls. corn in slip
shuck and 600 stalks of sugar cane, besides
vegetables consumed during the summer.
The work was done with the hoe and
ax-excepting only about 10 days work
blowing and narrowing through the whole
year, digging sweet potatoes included.
Being Without capital Mr.--had to
give his individual labor to pay for mule
and horse hire-in other words exchange
work.
This does not look like any great thing,
but when you see, as have seen, wilder
ness transformed to q comfortable homo in
so short q space of time, it makes one won
der what this country could be, if We would
only take hold with a will and not only
talk bat work.
We must bear in mind that Mr. --

the field until this Year-also that this lie

gives promise of better things in the flu

forts 4.-..as sne Pole the establishment
of permanent stations of observation in
high lstitudea, whence, as occasion serves,
excursions may be made by sea or by
land. It is advised that the share of Ger
many in such An enterprise be limited to
" the great inlet to the higher Attic regions
situated between the eastern shore of
Greenland and the western shore of SpitE-
bergen. Considering the results of the
second German expedition, a principal
station should be established on the east
ern shore of Greenland, and at least two
secondary statious, fitted out for perman
ent investigation of different scientific
ern shore of Spitzbergen. For certain
scientific researches the principal station
! should establish secondary stations" AL
though much valuable information may be
gained even in this isolated investigation,
it is thought that" AN exhaustive solution
of the problems to be solved can only be
expected when the exploration is ex.
tended over the whole Attic zone and
when other countries take their share in
the undertaking. The commission re-
commends, therefore, that the principles
adopted for the German undertaking
should be communicated to the govern
ments of the states which take interest in
Attic inquiry, in order to establish, if pos
sible, a complete circle of observing sta
tiops in the Artic zones" A scheme of
this sorC, if properly carried out, would un-
| doubtedly produce more solid reSults than
| the international steeple-chase towards
the North POle;' in a series of unconnected
| voyages having no nObler purpose, az
| Weyprecht says, than "the mere sketch
| ing and christening in different languages,
of islands, bays and proIuontories buried
in ice, and the mere reaching of higher
ATTITUDES than those reached by our prede-
cessors."

LESSONS OF THE PAST.

The past 10 useless unless it teaches the
present. how TO shape the future. Ruins
are the most potent preachers. The stern
logic of events is more resistiess than the
cunning sy ffogisms of the schools II spten-
dor were strength, aud strength security,
men, in many epochs, might we'll have
fancied the ultimate social good attained,
and exulted in governments as permanent
as refined. How many ages OF experience
are thrown away, when we, OF modern
days, falsely arrogate to ourselves the
monopoly of civilization, and as falsely
conceive that there can be no retrograde
in the movement of our destiny Other
civilizations, more splendid and coDsum-
mate than our own, have frightened along
the past, and then faded again Ms utterly

Illuminated mists that crown the hiil-tops in

A hot lemonade is one. of the best re-
NEEDLES for cold. 1t acts promptly and eff

effects. Oue lemon should be properly

Drink just before going to bed, and do not
expose yourself the following day. This
remedy will ward off any attack of chills

AN HEIR TO MILLIONS THAT HE CANNOT
ToUCH.-Probsbly the wealthest young
man in this city is Joshua Montgomery
Sears. son of the late Joshua Sears, who
died February z, 1857, leaving his son
heir to his large estate. The heir reach
ed his majority on Christmas, but by the
terms of the will, which left the property
in trust, he now receives but a email frac-
ton of the estate. The elder Sears left
property of the estimated value of 81 500.
600, Alpheus Hardy, Horatio Harris and
Hugh Montgomery being named in the
will as trustees. Under their manage
ment the property has increased in
value until it amounts, according to the
assessors returns of May 1875, to 81, 026,-
400 in real estate in Boston, in addition
to investments in mortgages, ETC., ETC.,
of like value. Young Sears is at
present a student in Yale College, and has
been educated under the guardianship of
the Hon. Alpheus Hardy. He is a young
man of intelligence, and is said to be
possessed of many of the characteristics of
his father. By the terms of the will the
son was to receive $4,000 when he was
81, "a 600 annually from that age to 25,
$4,000 annually from % to 30, and S1O,-
600 per year subsequently. There seems to
be no direct provision in the will that the
son shall ever receive other of the estate
than the above save in the matter of his
education. Who will inherit this vast
property in the event of the son'R de-
cease is a question for the cOurts.-BOston
