EUCALYPTUS TREES FOR MALARIA.-
1t seems to be authentically stated that
about 100000 eucalyptus trees have
been planted on a large tract of land
in the Roman Campagna, by the Trap
pists, to whom the tract was granted
by the Italian Government. The vast
marshes in the vicinity of Rome have
exhaled deadly vapors for many CEN
turies, and no device hitherto employed
has diminished their malarial influence.
But the planting of eucalyptus trees
has already made Ire FOntane, the
abbey of the Trappists, habitable
throughout the whole year, although
the monks have heretofore been COM
PEELED to desert it during the sickly
season.
The result has excited the wonder OF
the Italian Government, and the intel
ligent people everywhere are discus
sing the Importance of introducing the
eucalyptus in every malarial region
where it will grow. The tree is useful
for building ships and bridges, and also
for railroad ties, and as its growth is
rapid the considerations in favor of its
introduction are many.
The eucalyptus thrives in France
Spain, Portugal and Italy, and in Aus
tralia it is especially fourishing. 1
may not prove adequate for the remov
al of the box of quinine pills from thu
pocket of every resident of New Jerse.
but it certainly will thrive in the South
where its influence is so much neede,
to cOunteract the miasma which pro
duces deadly fevers and devourin,
epidemics.

THREE TROUBLES,

Three carpets hung waving in the breeze,
Abroad in the breeze as the sun went down;
And three husbands with patches of dirt on their
knees,
whacked whacks that were heard for miles up
and down.
For men must work and women must clean,
And the carpets be beaten, no matter how mean,
While the neighbors do the bossing
Three housewives leaned out of their windows
raised
OF their windows raised, where the lightstream-
ed in;
And they scrubbed and scrubbed till their heads
grew daze,
And their ears were filed with a horrible din
For the pots will fall and kettles go bang,
And boiler refuse in the attic to hang,
While the husbands do the swearing.
Three husbands went out in the hay mows to
hide
In the hay mows to hide, ':here their wives
ne'er looked.
Each said as he rolled himself DER on his side;
al guess l will snooze, for know am booked.
For men may swear, but women may dust:
And before move that stove that must,
I'll stay right here till morning!
Three judges sat on their benches to judge
Three cases tnat came from house cleaning
row.
The parties asserted they never would bulge
But wanted divorces right here and right
now"
So the men went off, and the women went home
And hereafter will do their house cleaning alone,
While their former partners snicker.

A New York paper says: 1.-The
liquor interest is rapidly gaining con-
trolling influence in the Democratic
party in all the great States of the
West. 1t has the Ohio Democracy
completely under it's thumb and no
man hostile to it can be nominated on
the party's ticket this year. In Indi-
ana a similar situation exists. The
subserviency of the Illinois Democracy
to whiskey has been strikingly shown
by the defeat Of a license law during
the present session of the Legislature.
The brewers and saloonists have also
determined, it is said, to force the nom
inatiOn of Carter Harrison upon the
party as its next candidate f.Y Govern
or. In Michigan, Iowa and Minnesota
the Democratic leaders are c0quetting
with the rum sellers aud stand ready
to do their bidding for the votes they
claim to be able to bring to the party
In all these States, therefore, the Re.
publicans must be prepared to see the
liquor league combine with the DcIA.
ocracy and become a potent factor in
politics"

THE FRUIT EXCHANGE.-The Della
ware Fruit Exchange helda meeting at
Dover last Wednesday. The Secretary
reported that about One-iifth of the
commission men in the leading cities
had agreed to take chairs in the EX-
change and that the enterprise was
favOrably regarded by nearly all with
whom he had communicated. The
meeting was addressed by number
growers and others. Ex-Congress-
man Martin, William Dean and Geo.
w. Bush spoke in favor Of the estab-
lishment of the Exchange and George
w. Cummins and David J. Cummins,
of this town, discouraged the project,
expressing the belief that it was i'm
practicable. 1t is evident that the
peach growers have little faith in the
feasibility of this proposed Fruit Ex-
change, but number of them are will
ling to give it trial, and have there
fore done nothing to discourage its
warm advocates.

The Star-route trial furnishes evil
dence that the Americans are not a
taciturn people. The government
counsel have been talking for weeks
and now the counsel for the defence
have their turn. They agree, however,
at starting that they will not talk
longer than week each, and as there
are seven of them it will only require
seven weeks for them to finish. But
after that Government Counsel Mer-
rick is to speak in closing, and it is
fair to presume that his may be a two
weeks effort. After this, the ordinary
congressional speech will be considered
a mere nothing.

SHADE FOR CATTLE.-We regard
shade as indispensable to thrift and
comfort to cattle in Summer, and give
no credence to the claim that cows will
make more milk, or steers put on more
flesh when deprived of shade. We feel
to give animals thrift and comfort, and
when we impose conditions that make
comfort impossible there will not be
much thrift. The COW that is COM
PEELED to Craze in the hot sun, when
she desires shade, will give no good re-
turn for what she eats, and the OK that
cannot refresh himself by shade, when
the sun burns his flesh, will make no
profit for his owner. We feed cows for
milk, it is true, but they do not require
ali the time to fill their stomachs. To
do well they must have time to rumi-
nate, and in the hot weather shade is
needed to make progress complete
that is to say, shade is the condition Of
comfort, and if not provided, the best
returns for what is eaten will not bC
mad.

HENRY WARD BEEcHER has just at
tanned his SEVENTEEN year. In his earlier
days of gospel work, he was an enthus-
last but recently he has cooled off con-
siderably. Sometime ago the devout
members Of his church were shocked
upon reading his views expressed in the
North american Rtaieso, and the veneer
able old teacher was called on to explain
why he so nearly repudiated the doctrines
which for years he had espoused. Since
then the breach between him and the
rigid adherents has been gradually
WIDENING, until now he seems to be more
Of free-,hinker than a religionst. De-
spite these trials, however, he has attained
MS seventeen birthday. Every man is
