Pertinent Questions.

Mrs. III. X. Ingram in closing an
article defending her conclusion
theory, closes with the following
In conclusion, let me say that scl-
ence has in this subject a fine field
for exploration, and one presenting
almost virgin soil. Many of the
positions SO far held must be re-
signed or modified. Those who
hold that neat, filth and moisture
are predisposing causes must ex
plain why heat, filth and moisture
produce yellow fever in one place
and not in another in the West In
dies, and not in the islands and
cities of the Eastern seas and Ia
dia; why on the western coast oI
Africa and not on the eastern; why
In New Orleans and not In Rio
Janeiro; why in Memphis and not
in Helena; why on the east side OF
The Mississippi and the Rocky
Mountains and not on the west
Those who claim that it is caused
by exhalations from marshes, must
show why it has devastated move
than once Cedar Key and islands in
the Gulf of Mexico, which are sim
ply patches OF pure white sand
why it has visited and almost de
populated the Dry Tortugas, which
is a solid rock; why it frequently
plays in and about Vera Cruz,
which is one of the best drained end
cleanest cities in the world. Those
who talk of altitude being safe
guard must account for Chattanoo
ga, two hundred feet higher than
Nashville, which has never had it in
an epidemic form. Those who con
slider the Ohio valley exempt, as
some of the learned physicians of
that valley proclaim, must account
for Hickman, and possibly in a few
days, for Louisville. Blessed be
cleanliness! it is next to godlness;
but those who see in filth an invit
ing cause must explain the univer
sal tone of the dispatches, from
those coming from Memphis to
those from every little town, village
and hamlet west of the Tennessee
river 1t has been, without excep

A clergyman said he once visited
a lady of his parish who had just
lost her husband, in order to otter
her consolation, and upon her earn
est inquiries as to the reunion of
families in heaven, he asserted his
belief in that fact. When she asked
with anxiety whether any time must
elapse before friends would be able
to find each other in the next world
he emphatically said, No, they will
be united at once" He was think
ing of the happiness of being able
to offer the relief of such faith,

tions by exclaiming sadly, "Rell, his

Between 1900 and 10000 ALI
gator skins are tanned yearly, which
are consumed by boot and shoe
manufacturers in every portion of
the United States, as well as export
ed to London and Hamburg. The
alligators formerly came almost en-
tirely from Louisiana, and New Or
leans was the great center of bust
ness. The Florida swamps and
morasses are now the harvest fields;
and Jacksonville, in that State, the
great depot. The alligators often
attain a length of eighteen to twen-
ty feet, and frequently live to a very
old age. The hides are stripped off
and the belly and side parts, the
only portions ft for use, are packed
in barrels, in strong brine, and
shipped to the northern tanners,
who keep them under treatment for
from six to eight MONTHS, when they
are ready to be cut up. So far, the
leather has been mainly used in the
manufacture of boots and shoes, but
handsome slippers are also madeof 1t

1t has been observed, for some
time past, that there is growing
feeling of discomfort with the cur
riculum of our average schools. A
celebrated German professor, not
long since, in inveighing against
the practice of "cramming," alluded
to il as peculiarly an Americanism,
and used IL as an illustration of the
mistakes of educators. SUndoubted-
IN the learned gentleman will lind
many to agree with him, even IN
America. But it is observable that
there is a disposition to shake OF
some OF the evils of the past, and
the candid mind will acknowledge
that our public schools are improv
ing year by year. A radical de
parture is made in Boston this term
by making the teaching in the pri-
mary departments almost entirely
oral. with object lessons and hard
Iy anv use for text books. The
changes are experimental, but the
principle is 10 simplify the studies
and reduce the number OF text
hooks IN use while giving really
mure cum prehensive lessons.

Peace and Wheat.

The kilograms are intimating sostrong-
~ that Turkey is DESTROYS OF making
peace. and peace will affect grain in de-
gree so important, that report recently
made by the American consul at Odessa,
l.. Z. Dyer, Esq., has become OF great
interest. The New York Journal Of
Commerce says Of it:
Some OF the statements from our min
listers and consul5 about the American
avnnrt business. latel v. JsR3}sliine. by
way of change from this rose-cOlored view
OF the American trade, we have a very
blue and bearish report from the United
States consul at Odessa about the grain
crop of South Russia for the current year.
He says 1t Ia the largest harvested for
twentyefi years, was well gathered, and
mostly in good condition. The consul
ventures to think that this unprecedent>
ed crop, when it can be got to market,
will mo doubt haye depressing influ-
ence upon the price of grain from other
cOuntries-a fact that Is worthy Of note
by American exporters OF grain" But
those exporters will also bear In mind
that not bushel of this grain can be
moved out till the war ceases, the Russ
SLAMS being effectually blockaded In the
Black sea by the Turkish feet. With the
war suddenly over, and winter coming
on, probably the bulk of the crop could
not be shipped till next spring. The sv-
erage annual export of wheat tor eight
years from Odessa and South Russia,
from 1865 to 1876 (omitting 1875, for
which no returns are at handy, was less
than fourteen million bushels. The In.
crease on this must be very large to pro-
duce the result confidently predicted by
our consul at Odessa.
