In advocating the advantages of
this or that climate or altitude,
writers overlook the influence of
food, the immunity from phthisis in
some races; the prevalence of phthi.
sis in the Caucasian race, and the
crosses OF this race with the negro
and other dark races. The length
of time the locality has been settled,
the crowding of persons in towns
and cities, habits and occupations of
residents, and numerous other i'm
portant points in the etiology of
phthisis. DR.. Rush remarks, (Med.
Enquiries, volume l, page 81, that
pulmonary consumption is unknown
among the Indians in North
America" AS the Indians inhabited
each State in the Union, we might
use it as an argument to prove that
high or low attitudes are favorable
for the climatic cure Of phthisis
Such line of argument would ap.
pear ridiculous, yet writers of to-day
use such arguments to establish their
theories. In support OF this theory
that phthisis is more prevalent in
warm than cold climates, DIR. Jones
makes the following statement "In
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick,
where the temperature is very low,
the disease is less frequent than in
jamaica" and cites the British
army reports as authority. To il
lustrate how much dependence there
is TO be placed i'll this statement, we
shall quote from the tables OF DR..
G. I. Balfour, complied from the
Reports OF the British War Office,
with regard to the admissions and
deaths from tubercular disease
among British troops per 1000

The Florida .Agrtculturist::

Adttor OF Ihe Florida AgricultUriSt:
am in frequent receipt of letters
from people in almost every portion
of the United States, making in
quiries in relation to South Florida,
and Of Manatee in particular, the
tenure OF which are about as follows ::

Are there any reliable papers pub
lished iii your section, through which
an intending settler might better in
form himself in relation to the nat
ural resources and productiveness of
the State 2"
To those inquiries l have usually
replied by mail, and endeavored to
answer the leading questions, but for
general information IN relation to the
State have referred them to The
FLORIDA AGR1CULTCRIsT, and for
local information relating to the
vicinity of Tampa Bay, to the Su9a-

At this present time the quantity
of their letters remaining unanswered
are appalling to one who has only a
very limited portion OF time at his
disposal, and busy, as one must neces.

thousand orange, lemon, and olive
trees to look after, with the other co.
existant demands upon his time and
attention inseparabie from plantation

l would respectfully ask the privilege
Of replying to the above through its

many recent inquiries, would give to

Insect Destroyer.

Editor the Florida AgricuHuriSt.
In your issue OF September %, you
publish note from Beaumont, Texas,
which accompanied an orange ard
twig covered with the worst kind of
scale insect, and you suggested many
remedies but none among them will
be found as effectual for this purpose
as the Fertilizer and Insect Extermi-
nator manufactured in Jacksonville,
and which see you advertise in
your columns.
Some time since l purchased some
of this article and found it not only
etfectual in destroying the insect but
my trees have put on a more vigor-
Gus growth, and are more improved
by this fertilizer than by any l have
ever used. Many other cases Of its
successful use have come to my
knowledge; and believe it to be
Just what is needed here in Florida
for our orange trees, TO tertilize and
destroy their insect enemies.

Correspondence OF The True Northerner.
The great boat race, that has been talked OF
for weeks. that has filed the columns OF tbs
newspapers. that caused an adjournment OF
Congress. and much neglect OF government
work in all the executive deparments,--the
great y boat race-has been rowed, and the
nation may now 50 its accustomed ways IN
peace. Washington Is used to tiuxes IN the hu-
man tide. Crowds come TO see the Inaugural
ton of President, the opening OF Congress- or
the unveipg Of 4 bronze horse surmounted by
the eiigy OF general, but seldom II ever mas
Washington seen bigger crowd than assem-
bled to witness the poorest, tamest, spectacle
that was ever enacted on land or water. IL
Hanlan and Courtney were able to excel by
half tue best time they have ever made, they
would not be worth looking at; but tens OF
thousands of peope-reiined ladies and intell-
gent men. generals, admirals, senators ana
iuJoes waited for three hours in the broilIng
sun because. forsooth, these two brawny, vul-
gar sports preferred to delay the race until the
close OF the evening, or Two hours later than
the appointed time. Really II is time the Amer
lean people had done with this dedication OF
mrscle Il is silly and vulgar. The glory OF
opr age i in its intellectual trlumphs over
physlca! nature, and if the hundred thousand
people pevspring on the banks OF the Potomac
had ho.annahed and hallelujahed to the little
steam, tugs and yachts that passed and repassed
during the race they would have shown much
more intelligent appreciation OF their era and
ITS achievements.
THE Senate is more engrossed with the sub
iect Of adjournment than anything else. The
members OF the committee on appropriations
cav they can get rid OF all the appropriation
bills by the 91st instant, but the Democrats IN
sist thai some law to regulate the count o. the
electoral vote must be passed prominent
Democratic Senator SAID this morning, Unless
we pass Law to govern the count, our having
a majority in both Houses OF Congress will not
do us any good. The Republicans will declare
that the Y!ce-Pgesident has the right to count
the vote. and they will enforce this at the point
OF the bayonet il necessary This being the
state Of feeling among Democrats, it bids fair
TO delay final adjournment for some time. Any
proposition to regulate the electoral count cil
lead 20 partisan discussion. The Democrats
will naturally want to hold al the advantage OF
the majority. and the Republicans will fight
anything that does not give them far square
show. Therefore, az it is plalR that the Demo-
2yais meap ie attempt he passage Of law,
M Ii '.ances O. early adjournment are growing
beautifully less.

Dominion OF Canada, dealing with its political

ful suggestion by Professor Proctor that these
two phenomena are intimately connected. The
re-appearance of the sun-spots, and the recent
rumors OF financial panic, give interest TO
this paper. Schuyler's Peter the Great Is in
