IsAtuUrallun Vwtutltm a Preventive, of Malarial li.aer This ouostion has been much dis cussed among neiontilio men during the past few years ; the results are such as to demand the attention oi an who resiile in malarious country, and can hardly fail to oonviueo all that there it possesses a wonderful power to conn to raot agne and all malarial disease. Attention was first called to the sub ject by a French exploring expedition which visitod Australia many years ago. The surgeons connected with this ex pedition observed an entire absence of ague and fever in that part of the world, and were thns ld to innniro as to any local causes which could account for the absence of these diseases in places where the clemonta of malaria aboundod , namely : a warm climate, and an abund ance of decaying vegetation, and swampy lands. The most prominent fact which arrested their attention was the abundant growth of a apocios of treo which filled the atmosphere with a powerful aroma (the Eucalyptus or Quia Tree). They made many ex periments on tho leaves, gum, wood and bark, and discovered sonie of its wonderful curative properties. They also collected seed from the treo, and planted them in the French Botanical Uarilen. It would occupy too much spuco to detail all the steps by which they arrived at the conclusion that A antral ian vegetation podseiutoa power ful anti-septic and anti-malarial utili ties. Suflloe it to say that their ex periments resulted in the planting of millions of Australian trees in the milarial districts of Southern France and Algiers, tho astonishing results of which are given in this brief sketch. Dr. do Pietra Soutra, a dulegate from the Climatologieal Society of Algiers, communicates to the Horbunne (a medical institute in Paris) the result of an investigation made in Algiers, to ascertain the importance of tho Euca lyptus tree in relation to public health. It annears that reports were received from fifty different localities, where the aggregate of trees planted is nearly million, and from their reports tbe fol lowing conclusions have been drawn : "That it is incontestibly proved that wherever it has been cultivated, in termittent or malarial fever and agne has considerably decreased both in intensity and frequency, and marshy and uncultivated lands have been ren dered healthy and quite transformed. Similar results have been obtained in Corsica, where it is computed there arc 000,000 trees of the Eucalyptus Globu lus in fall growth." M. Trother reports to tho French authorities as follows : " About twenty miles from Alga at Pondouk," he aays, " I owned a property noar the river Hamyze ; the emanations from which produced intermittent fever among the farmers and their servants every yeur. In the spring of 1807 I plantetl upon this farm 13,000 plants of the Eucalyp tus Globulus. In the July of that year, the season in which the fever usually appear, the farmers were completely free from it, though the trees had scarcely attained a height of more than eight or ten feet. Since that time the settled population has boon entirely free from fevers." " On the banns of the Yar ii situated a garrison house ; tbe malaria made it necessary to change the guard each year : two years ago M. Viilard, the engineer in charge, planted a number of Eucalyptus trees in the vicinity of the buildings, and since tuat time mm post has been tbe most healthy in the country." The following is the latest evidence obtained : Fermerly it was impossible for the workmen of the great Iron mines of Motka El Halid in French Algiers, to remain there during the summer ; those who attempted to do so died, and in order to work the mines the company was compelled to take tbe laborers to the mines from a distance by railroad every morning and carry them back at night. The company planted more than 100,000 Eucalyptus trees, and now the laborers are able to live all the year through at the scene of their labor. Tbe entire works, and tbe rail way leading to them are bordered with thick belts of these trees, and each of the miners has his cottage and garden surrounded by them. The following is condensed from a paper read before the Royal Society of Melbourne, Australia, iy the president, entitled, "Is Australian Vegetation Fever-Destroying : " In the Eucalyptus tribe we have a vegetation absolutely Australian, as it exists in no other part of the world ex cent where it has been planted from Australian seed. If, therefore we pos sess in a very high degree an immunit from fever maladies, can it bo traced in any way to this order of vegetation ? For this purpose I propose to refer to the chemical properties ot the iuca lypti as a whole, and specially to those which are known to possess curative and anti-malarious finalities. The chemical contents of a Eucalyptus tree are neither poisonous nor virulent ; they include a Tan n ate Gum Resin, a Volatile Acid and a V olatilo Oil, pos sensed by no other plant in existence, It is in these three bodies we have the key to the question before ns. Part of these constituents is retained in tL tree till set free by the art of man, and part is given off to the air by the forr.es of the plant in union with atmospheric agencies. Let us therefore inquire what is its probable sanitary effect. " There are upwards of 150 varieties of the Eucalyptus tribe of vegetation ; some of them have their modicioal ?ualities in the leaves, some in tbe bark which is very bitter) , and others in the juices which exude from the tree in the form of gum. All the species are more or less medicinal in the leaves, wood, or gum. Some species are emi nently so, and contain such extraor dinary curative properties as would hardly be credited, were they not well attested by so many eminent scientific men. Four-fifths of the area of Southern Australia is covered by Euca lyptus trees, which are constantly giv ing off this volatile oil and acid. These exhalations may properly be called the fragrant breath of the tree, and are in such minute particles that they are in admirable condition to be received into the system. These, like other volatile oils, have the power' of changing oxy gen into ozone, and there, is no doubt that this change is constantly going on in Australia, giving a large supply of this -life-giving principle to tbe atmos phere. The truth of this can be illus trated by spreading a small quantity pf the Eucalyptus oil in a sick chamber, or by adding it to a small quantity of stagnant water, and the pleasure of breathing an improved air will imme diately be manifest. From all this we may gather tliat there is an active agency existing in our vegetation over that or other countries, and tuat, from all known evidence, it is of an invigora ting and healthy character. All this testimony confirms tbe ex perience of Australia no fever or aguo existing there in thoso diittriots where tho Euaalyptus grows, though ttioro are all the elements of malarial disease around, but in those parts of Australia where they do not grow, the full effect of malaria is felt, and fever and ague prevails. Nothing the writer can say could add to this amount of evidence, thut tho Eucalyptus is a Fever-dostroy-ingTreo I Exciting1 It nn on a Bank. Mr, Joseph Smithers is a retired banker, worth, it is said, two millions of dollars. About twonry-flve or thirty years ago, with tho small remnant of a shattered fortune, when tuero existed an immense excitement about the rapid advance of property in tho moro popu lous great norUi-cstern city of 0 , he pulled up stakes, left tho scene of his many disasters, emigrated thc.ro, and opened a small broker's shop, loan ing money at usurious rates, and still ing ral estate on commission. He also made investments in ground as he could spare the money, and made sev eral sub-divisions of lots in the suburbs of tho place, which, paid him very uauusomuiy. 10 illustrate, there is one instance in point whore ho pur chased an acre of ground for 81.000. which he subdivided into lots fifty and one hundred feet frost each, lie ad vertised them, offering rare induce- menu to poor men who wishod to se cure homes by paying part cash and obtaining credit for tho remaining sum. And such was tho rapid increase in the vaiuo oi property there at that time. combined with the advantago he gained y uivi.ting me ground into lots, that in ono year's time, the acre for which he paid $1,000 yielded him 810,000. and in less than five years instead of a poor man, as he would have continued to re main had he sot changed the socne of his derations and embarked in this enterprise, he was now one of the rich est men in the city of C . In the ever memorable year that there was such an immense run on most of the banks all over the country, tho heaviest run in that city was on the banking house of O. Sc Co.. bnl Smithers pos sessed such unlimited confidence in their ability that he came to their aid at this critical time, and supplied them iw uivuey witu nnstiuiou liurralliy Poor persons frightened out of their wits, were frantically rnshing on the bank, many of thorn with checks for not more thau 810 or 20, which sum, though small was their all and they conld not afford to lose it. The bank had nobly and unflinching ly withstood the rnn during the entire proceeding day, and the following morning an immense crowd had as sembled in front of the bank blocking np the entire sidewalk ; and when the doors were thrown open the rushing and jamming was terrible to behold. Men with pate faces were there. som of them hatless, others costless, and poor women with their haggard coun tenances, fearful of losing their small pittances, all they poaaeaaed npon earth. One old colored woman edged her way throngb the crowd, saying : " Ie only got 011, but breas yonr life, honey, I wants dat shoo, and I isn't gwino to leabo dis bar bank till I done got dat' aartin." A poor old Dutchman, jammed and frightened to death nearly, exclaimed: "Mine Gott in Himmrl, vos a countre do is i I loosed me all mine moonish, Oh, mine Gott, mine golt vas ail gone I Vas I vill doen T Und mine poor frow and mine children." Oach, bo j ilners f said an Irishman, " will ye Ik afther dryin np there now, Dntcby ? Hhnre and there's other paple get moony in this bank leides yer silf ." " How you vas know I vas Tutch, yon ole Irish potatoes pags?" rctarnod the German, pretty mad. ' Shnre and I'm afther smillen tbe sonrkrout," re joined tho Irishman. The crowd swayed to and fro, push ing and tramping. " Ouch, my toes 1" says one. Pot your toes in yonr pocket," replies another. The siege almost eqnaled that of Sevastopol. G., the banker, who was cool, calm, and self-possessed, on the preceding day. now almost began to lose confidence himself, and manifested considerable fear, as was plainly visible as to the re sult, should the rnn still continne. Such was the serious complexion of affairs when, in tho midst of all the excitement, Smithers, tbe well-known banker, appeared npon the scene. He was ro'jognizol by many who were prcKut immediately. With his gold spectacles on and gold cane in hand, he elbowed his way throngb the crowd. " Make a little room, if you please, gentlemen, he said : " you shall all soon be satisfied, if you will have a little patience." And looking behind mm, lie was I art tier neard to exclaim " Hurry up, my men 1" And there, following in his stens. were four men bearing two large bas nets, which were stacked to the very tops with bank-bills of the denomina tions, as were plainly discernible to all. of five, tens and twenties, The money was deposited behind the counter, and. as the men piled it up in full view of the astomshed and enraptured be holders. Smithers, in a loud tone of voice that could distinctly be heard all over the room, exclaimed : " If you want any more, Mr. G., just sena me word. The effect was electrical. People be gan to feel assured, and, as confidence was gradually re-established, first one. then another could be seen pressing his or their way through the crowd, nearly as anxions to get ont and take their de parture as they had been a few minutes previous to gam an entrance. In an hour's time the crowd had entirely dis persed, and by noon the excitement had completely subsided. Others who came subsequently, upon learning the facts, would tear np their checks and o away laughing. - Tbe credit of it. dt Vo. was saved and established by the noble aid and friend ship of Smithers, tbe banker, who. was once ruined himself by the same pro cess. G. & Co.'s banking house to-day is the safest in the country, but they have never forgotten that critical hour. nor the friend in need who then proved to them to be a friend indeed. &.
