if the new incumbent refuses the receipt lor the

held liable for the cost of exchanging them into

Natural Anti-Miasmatich. —A recent number
of a Western paper contains a very readable edi

of certain kind of vegetables in preventing such
miasmatic diseases as fever nmPague, etc. It
calls tbo attention to the well known fact that in
many of tho most miasmatic portions of the
Southern States, tho negroes guard their cabins
with sunflowers, “ to keep off the fevers,” which
their white" owners considered an idle supersti
tion, uud not a sanitary precaution. Investiga
tions seem to prove thut tho negroes wore right.
Within the last few years miasmatic fevers
have become so prevalent iu certain portions of
Belgium that the government was compelled to
take the matter iu hand, and appoint medical
boards ami try and devise a remedy. There
has been one complete success. A remarkably
unhealthy estate was selected, and a largo quan
tity of suutlowor seodplanted around the cottages
and buildings. As the plants grew fevers disap
peared; uud iu a short time there was not u ves

effect but wliat was tho cause V Analysis aud
other experiments followed, uud the facts were
disclosed, first thut tbo sunflower draws all its
sustenance from the air, malting a very slight de

of tho stalk, was nitrogen. Tho mystery was
