Sanitary Influence Of the Eucalyptus
Tree.

The culture of the eucalyptus in AL
seria is strongly recommended in a re-
port by British Consul Playfair. Ow-
ing 10 the destruction of forests in that
country the climate is changing in an ap-
preciable degree every year, and the
question of restoring the wood that has
been lost is most important one. tits
hardly more than Is years since the
first eucalyptus trees were introduced
into Algeria, yet their growth, as shown
by Consul Playfair, has been extraordi-
narily rapid, aud some remarkable ex-
amples are given in the report of the ac-
ton of the eucalyptus in improving the
sanitary condition of unhealthy districts,
and in dissipating miasmatic influences
which created havoc among the colo
nists in the first years after the conquest.
For instance, formerly it was impossi-
BILE for the workmen at the great iron
mines of Moka-el-Hadid TO remain there
during summer; those who attempted
to do so died, and the: compaay was
obliged to take the laberers to the mines
from distance by train every morning
and carry them back every might. From
1858 10 1870 the company have planted
more than 100, 600 eucalyptus, and now
the workmen are able to live all the year
through on the scene of their labor. The
entire works and the railway leading to
them are bordered with thick belts of
these trees, and each of the miners has
his cottage, and kitchen garden sur
rounded with them. u

Eccentric Mr.. Sammons.

One of the most eccentric persons in
this section of the country, says letter
from Orange County, N L., is Mr. Jno.
S. Sammons of Callabar, town of Craw-
ford, a few miles from this place. Sam
mons is an old man now. He is the
same person who bought a coffin for
himself, predicting that be would shuttle
Off his mortal coil u years ago. His de-
mise, according to his own Calculation,
was to have occurred August 20, 1856,
and he has, therefore, Outlived his al
loted time about 21 years. Sammons
has had his coffin, which is a metallic
one, on hand ever since that time. He
also has three other coffins on hand at
his house-one for his dog, one for his
cat and the third for 'sThe Queen" as
he terms his servant girl or niece. A
few days ago he went to Newburgh TO
sell two lambs and to visit Washington's
headquarters in that city. While in
Newburgh he spoke of his coffin. He's
% years of age, in good health, lives
carefully and prudently, attires himself
in garments in style far from fashion,
able, and is bachelor. He has dug
vault on his farm at Callabar, and has
ii ready to receive his body when he
leaves this world. One of the cofiins
was recently purchased by him while OH
a trip to New York.

Yet happy were they, pitiable as was

what we had ourselves seen; of the lat

Effects Of Imagination.

The case is that of Henry C. Ersh-
man, residing near the boundary of the
county, near Sweetwood, who is large
owner of iron-Ore lands, and the pos
SCISSOR of considerable property. Up to
within several weeks ago he was hale
and hearty, and, Notwithstanding his
abundance of this worlds goods, he gen.
orally wore one suit of clothes during
the week and on Sunday. Several weeks
ago he was startled because he imagined
that a very foul smell either came from
his ears, or mouth, or the pores of the
skin. He was greatly alarmed, and inn
agined he was sinking into galloping
consumption, aNd was gradually decay
ing. He was unable to sleep, became
haggard and emaciated, and even his
friends began to imagine that his end
was near at hand. He dressed him.
self regularly, and was determined
TO keep on his feet He went
into the fields and in the
woods determined to fight down
the disease, but wherever he went the
same dreadful stencil and feeling came
DER him. Finally an old woodchopper
met him in the woods one day. The
woodsman had a long talk with him, and
he stood quite close to examine him.
Then the woodsmar asked the sick
man for his coat. 1t was examined.
The woodsman carried it away twenty
yards, and il was discovered that the
stencil followed. The coat was then
examined and dead mouse
was found in the lining. The mouse had
by some means gotten into the lining of
his coat and died there, and its decay
ing remains caused the unpleasant
efliuvia. When this was made known
the sufferer gained courage, and as he
slowly realized what imagination had
done, he rallied and was sOon on IA
vorable road to the best of health again.

The Ruling Passion Strong in Death.

The superstitions of the Chinese are
sometimes very curiously exemplified.
The other day woman died in the. city
she was the wife of a charcoal dealer,
who for a long time had boarded money
secretly, the fact being hidden even
from her husband. When she fell sick,
she took her dollars and concealed them
under her pillow, her avarice extending
so far-the ruling passion strong in
death-that when she died her hands
were found clutehing number of the
coins so tightly that it was impossible
to unlock the fingers. Of course, firmly
as the muscles may haye been set, it
would no doubt have been possible for
the husband to have wrenched or cut
them apart had he wished to do so; but
no. "She stuck to her dollars during
her life," said the widower, sand she
clings to them still more desperately
in death; let her have them undisturb-
ed" And so the corpse was buried, its
dead hands clasping the dollars with a
desperate grip, while the rest of the
poor creatures savings were put into
the coffin and buried forever with her.

A Valuable Soldier.

They have a model soldier among the
Light Guards. He believes in doing
duty right up to the handle. The other
night, at Columbus, he was put on
picket duty, with the usual instruction
to admit none but those who gave the
countersign. which for that night was
Jack Robinson.'' Sc a
So our Light Guard determined that
no man should pass him without saving
the mystic words, .sJack Robinson"
He paced up and down his Beat with
military precision, and sure enough
after awhile along came a belated Guard,
masking his way back to camp. Down
came our picket to present arms, and in
stentorian tones he called out:
"Halt! Who goes there, friend or
foe?''
"Friend."

A HoRRID NIGHT.

Nature viii assert herself. About l
o'clock in the morning we turned aside
into a field where the barley had been
reaped and piled into small stacks.
These we tore down, shook some
sheaves ont as fodder for our horses and
others as beds for ourselves, and, throw
ing ourselves down, fell into dead slum-
ber. But there was no long rest for US.
At 5 O'Clock we were aroused by the IL
dings that the Bashi-Bazouks were close
to US, and the near firing told of the ac-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-12-13

The Custom House struggle, at the last,
was short, sharp aud decisive. Those who
encouraged the President, at such a political
crisis, to insist on again making the fight,
viii do well now to consider with
some care the result. The Presidents
forces were mustered and led by Cen
cral j. B. Gordon, of Georgia, and his
supporters consisted of 20 Democrats and 3
Republicans. His opponents numbered all the
Senators of his own party > only excepted. The
situation is unfortunate and embarrassing for
Republican President, who must be supported
by the Republican party, unless his Admins
trati0n is to pass into the limbo of Johnson
lied or 1ylerzed failures. But The TRIBUNE,
at least, cannot be blamed with having shirked
the unwelcome task Of pointing out the danger
in advance and at the very time when tlatter-
ers and false friends were prophesying only
smooth things.
Once in a while, some careless reader, after
hasty glance at these faithful warnings, has
said, "But why is tins I thought you sup
ported the Presidents policy. You mustn't
d" go back on him."
We do not mean 60. We even insist that
his Administration must not go back on
him. We have most earnestly sup
ported, and do now support, the policy
OF the Cincinnati platform and the Presi-
dents letter Of acceptance. We believe
IN reconciliation. We are glad to see State
Governments at the South that can stand
by the consent of the governed, without
the prop Of the United States bayonets. We
heartily favor a Civil Service wherein there shall
be 10 removal except for cause, and no
appointment save for merit. And, above
all, we honor and glory in the Presidents
brave stand for honest money and
the honest payment of our debts. No
body can be blind to the Presidents high pur-
pose, and nobody can be insensible Of his pure
motives and his lofty character. We have had
very few Chief Magistrates whose patriotism
has been 50 free from all admixture of selfish
ness, and whose ambition has been so noble.
None Of us can fail to admire the honesty with
which he stands by his word, and the calm,
buoyant, amiable temper in which he meets
opposition. If We did not believe that such a
