The Sanitarium of tlie Con tinent. CHARLOTTE JOURNAL. The facts, presented in my circular re lating to this extraordinary place, were obtained, partly, by personal observation for several years, but chit fly, from infor mation given me by the baud of Nortlu rn colonists referre 1 to, and by these who have resided at Highlands from its begin ning, until now" Its altitude, according to the measure ment, last summer, of Prof. Gibbes, of Charleston, is 4,000 feet ; according to the measurement of another Professor, from another point, 4,40q feet. That "fluwers bloom in mid-winter," may be witnessed at any time, by inspect ing the beauiiful flower-plot in open air, in front of the fine residence of S. P. Rav enel, Esq. ; whence, fragTant specimens have hetn sent me, ioletters, at dffcrent times during this winter. The following statements are taken from the pamphlet of Mr. S. T. Kc-lsey, the f under of Highlands: "As tbe Blue Ridge approaches its south-western terminus, it rises with its outlying spurs to the greatest average height near the poiut of intersection of the State lines f North Carolina, South Car olina and Georgia, and to the northward of this point, spreads out into an undula ting area Highlands embracing about 200,000 acres of land, at an average al titude of about 4,000 fect above the ocean. The climate with reference to agriculture, is all that can be desired. While not so damp as to be injurious to the most sen sitive system, it is ecfEciently moist to carry on vegetable growth with remarka ble-regularity even in the occasional ab sence of showers. A drougth, to material ly injure seasonably planted crops, has never been known, while the character of the soil and subsoil prevents damage to growing crops from excessive rains Rains are, probably, nowhere mDre evenly lii-tributed throughout the seasons, and vioh nt storms of wind are unknown, while sleet storms occur very rarely. Lawns and pastures keep their rich, green color during the driest seasons, an invaluable consideration for ornamentation or profit able graziug. Nt only is the climate favorable to vegetable growth, but it is equally favorable to health and vigor of man and beast ; the extrems of heat and cold biting avoided, owing to our altitude aud latitude.' And the farmer, grazier, fruitgrower, dairyman and housekeeper, alike find themselves enabled to accom plish more hero than eUewhere, in the Northern, Southern or Western States. We have few days in winter so cold, that out-door labor is unpleasant. The mer cury rarely falls lower .than five degrees above zero, and the ground is never fro zen more than a few days at a time. We rarely have snow over ' four to six. inches in depth, and it seldom remains more than a week. - The relief from severe winds affords great satisfaction to fbnror reel dents of Wt6t(n' praries. The climate of Highland it unsurpassed in the United .States lor " sucdefsful fruitgrowing. The winters are so mild, that the trees are not injured . By,; eey ere freezing and remain healthy and thrifty ' to good old age. There is along the slopes "of the Blue Ridge, a belt from 100 to 300 feet above the .valley s, where Spring and Fall frosts ' do -not occm. Vegetation of all kinds within the limits of this zone, is untouch ed by frost, and such is its protective in fluence that Isabella, the most tender of all native grapes, has not failed to pre 3 nee abundant crops in twenty six succestive years. Nor has fruit of any kind ever been known to be killed within the Ther mal Belt. The late Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati, said : "Were I young agaiu, on the slopes of the Blue Ridge I would plant the vine and make my fortune." There are large quantities of cheap land within the no-fr st belt, that ean be util ized for- fruit raising. Highlands is the natural business centre for a large section of country. The town occupies a beauti ful undulated plat, just at the foot of Stoo ly Mountain. The streets are planned with reference to the surface, so that miles of pleasant drives will be secured, sometinMjs straight and sometimes Wind ing, but as nearly level as desirable. There U great abundance of water pow er in this regioD, and in every direction from the village. For good sleep, good appetite, and good digestion, we unreservedly commend this country, and whoever enjoys these llcBsings, and breathes life-giving air, and drinks the best of water cannot long remain an invalid. Here follow testimo nials from distinguished physicians. Tbe following is from the pen of the la mented Dr. G. W. Kibbee, the inventor of the fever cot, whose heroic efforts to stay the yellow fover at New Orleans, are well known. He had traveled extensive ly and resided in different States including the Pacific slope, and his critical obser vations are worthy of a careful study ; he says : Owing to its being at the South eastern premises of the Blue Ridge Moun tains, the town of Highlands, Macon county, N. C, offers natural inducements to the health seeker, that can be found in no other part of the Unired States, southern California ntt excepted. It is situated on an undulating plain, whose general level is about 400 feet above the ocean with mountain peaks all around, some of which Bhoot 1000 to 1200 feet. The abruptness of the ascent to this ex tended elevated region, places it at once in the upper strata of air, high above the malarial influences of the low lands sur rounding it. These circumstances com bine to give Highlands, a mild, temper ate moisture in tLe atmosphere, that i peculiarly sootliiiig to the irritated serous surfaces of the lungs of consumptives, and quieting to rxciiing nervous systerr.s, giv ing an exemption from colds, hay fever, catarrh, and other annoying ailment3. The healing, soothing qualities of this atmosphere are entirely unknown to de bilitated persons who remain in the ordi nary atmosphere of the Uidte Ltates, the hygrometry of which is so variable. This evenness of temperature and moist ure extends through the wh le year, makiDg the climate the best winter resort for consumptives and dyspeptics, from either Noith or South, that can be found on this continent and probably the whole world, as I know of no spot on earth, con taining all the advantages of this South ern moat elevated point of the Blue Ridge." Dr. H. P. Gatchell, formerly Professor in the Cincinnati Medical College, states : ' "When two members of my own family were attacked by pulmonary consumptian they were ordered to the mountains of North Carolina. Highlands is situated upon a plateau 4,000 feet above tho ocean level. There is no other plateau this side the base of Reeky Mountains, of equal altitude and extent; no other capable of sustaining any considerable population. The soil like that of most of the flat ridges and mouniain tops of North Carolina, in general is very fertile. This high, cool land has its own mountain peaks rising above the general suface; and contributing by condensation of cloud3 that often rest on their summits to the numberless springe, which are sources of innumerable streams of clear, cold, soft water, tenanted by my riads of sp ckled trout. The summers of this region are delightful and its winters are mild, as compared with th se of the more Northern States. The summer mean oi Highlands ia between 6G and 67 degrees; its winter mean between 34 and 35 degrees. Highlands is the best place of resort for consumptives as jet known in the TJi-ited States. Physicians have at last discovered the mistake they made, in sending consumptives to Minnesota and other states in a high latitude to die. Highlands is much more favorable to in valids than Colorado withi s variable and extreme climate. The total mortality for California is twenty-five per cent, greater than the average for the United States. Diseases of the nervous system, especially apoplexy, paraCsis, and insanity, prevail to an extent unknown elsewhere, and malarial disorders occur at an altitude of 9,000 feet. . Florida is, on the whole, in consequence of combined heat and humid ity, and intense malarial influence, the most trying of the Gulf or Atlantic climates The number of deaths from malarial dis eases in Texas, far exct ed that of any other State, Florida excepted." Prof. Guyot, who visted this section repeatedly, years "ago, states : "The cli mate , of this tlevated legion is truly, de lightful. ; In summer, tbet temperature scarcely ever rises . above . eighty degrees, the nights are cool, and the mildness of that healthy, bracing air, is both invig orating and exceedingly pleasant. Even in mid- winter, snow remains but a short time on the ground, and the summits of the high mountain peaks are never cov ered throughout the winter with a cap of snow. While the nights and early part of mid-summer days are cloudless and beautiful, about noon thick clouds may suddeuly mount up to the zenith, or gath er about the highest peaks, and copious rain fall for an hour or two, the sky then becoming clear and cloudless again. Both showers and cloud-mists on the mountains contribute to render it ti e best grass re gion in tho South, and one of the best in the whole country." Prof. Richard Owen, M. D., late State Geologisi of Indiana, visited this secti n several years ago. He says: "From Whiteside mountain, (four and a half miles northeast of Highlands ) the town of Walhalla can be distinctly seen in a clear day; indeed, there is a prospect all around, to at least double that distance, or about sixty miles where other ranges of mountains show themselves. The whole view is as fine as any I ever rec ollect seeing, except, perhaps, in Switx erland, even finer, I think, than from the Crttski'l mountains, or from the Rodky mountains in New Mexico, or from the Sierra Madre, near Monterey, in Mexico. There are no miasmatic diseases ; chills and fever are unknown; physicians have but little to do, and drugs are scarce. During over six weeks of constant riding, I was frequetly overtaken by rain, and had Si-ldom an oppoinity of getting my clothing thoroughly dry ; yet, I never caught cold, or experienced ahy disad vantage to health." Other interesting testimonies . could be cited, verifying the statements in my Cir cular, but these are sufficient. The impudent anonynou9 effusion, as sailing the Circular, (in the New South's issue of December 31st, but not seen till to-day,) is beneath notice. A. W. Miller. Charlotte, N. C, Jan. 30, '83. FACETIJ33. Remarkable Occurrence. An Arkansas local slibquizcs thus: Some of our exchanges are publishing a curious item to the effect that a horse in Iowa pulled the plug out of a bimghole of a barrel for the purpose of blaking his thirst. We do not see anything cxtiaor iHuary n the occurrence. Now, if the horse had pulled the barrel out of the bunj;h( lo and slaked his thirst with the plug, or if the barrel had pulled the bunghole out of the horse and slaked his thirst with the plug, or if the plug had pulled the horse out of the barrel and slaked his thirst with the bunghole, or if the bungholo had pulled the thirst out of the horse and slaked the ping with the barrel, or if the baml had pulled the horee out of the bunghole and plugged his thirst n ith the slake, it might be worth while to make a fuss about it. Taking: Advice. There was a young man at the Central Market on Wednesday who looked the perfect specimen oi the greenhorn. His hands were large and red, his clothes did n't fit, and his cowhide boots had just been rubbed down with fried meat gravy. He was looking at everything with open mouth when a couple of young meu who had been driven in by the rain commenced to guy him. One of them asked him if he was on a bridal tour, atfd the other insist ed on calling him Shakespeare. Liberal offers were made for his coat and boots, and an attempt was made to secure him for a lecturing tour through the country. The young man took everything in a calm, matter-of-fact way until a gentleman came along and said to him : "See here, my friend, why do you stand all these insults f "Are they insulting me T'' "Of course they are." "And should I resent it V "Certainly you should." "Then I will. I didn't know exactly what to do, but thought I'd hold on for advice. If you say go in and slam 'em, I'll do so." "I would." "Then I will !" "In the coolest kind of a way he re moved his coat, rolled it up and laid it down, placed his hat on the bundle, and without a word ot warning he waded in and knocked cue off the end of the bench and the other clrar over it, and then gave each a lift with his cowhide. He won a complete victory inside -f two minutes without receiving a scratch, and as he put on his coat he said to bis adviser : "Much obliged for your kindness, stran ger. If that's the way you do here in De troit I'll have six months sickness on my knuckles for the next chap who asks me if they had to hire a hall to finish my boots in ! Weed out your stock and get rid of the poor milch and butter cows. The profit in a dairy comes wholly from the good cows, while the poor ones not only do not pay for their keep, but they reduce the profit made by the others. RELIGIOUS. Tflalce all Sure. BY REV. C. H. SPURGEON. A house had been rapidly run up. It was six stories high, and built of stone, with thick walls. All had proceeded with out hindrance, and the roof was being placed upon the structuie. It was, how ever, wretchedly put together, and the foundation was bad. What mattered t It locked substantial. Plastered . over it would make an attractive hotel, for it was admirably situated ; and if it did not stand for ages yet it would serve for immediate use, and bring in a good return, and then it could be s ld, and the new comer would have to look to repairs. So thought the builder, and he was no more of a rogue than others are who think only of them selves and the immediate present. Had all gone smoothly so might it have been; but things did not go smoothly, for there came a waterspout upon the hills above the town, and the rain fell in tropical abundance upon the town itself. A flood rushed into the streets, and swept by the wall of this new fabric with tremendous force. It lasted scarce half an hour, but it was a torrent, four feet deep, of mud and water, driven with great velocity, and it did a vast amount of mischief in that space, eveu to the drowning of six or mTe human beings. When we saw the fine new hotel that was to have been, it was shored up with immense timbers, for the foundations were giving way, and the walls were ready to come down in a heap. Everybody said, "It must be taken down." This is after the fashion of many a man's religion. It is a fine pile, and prom ises great usefulness to the man himself, and possibly to others. True, it is some what of the kind known as "a contract job," yet it is fairly well put together. Not much cement of grace, no solid foun dation upon eternal verities such things are rather old fashioned ; but in lieu of these substantial matter a good deal of stucco and plaster of Paris has been used, composed of charity to all denominations, and broad views on spiritual subjects. The lofty edifice might have stood a life time at least if the weather had been pro pitious, but alas ! an unusual temptation happened, and in a few minuted the struc ture would have gone to the ground if it had not been propped .np with extra hypocrisy and cunning deceit. As it is, it will have to be taken down sooner or later, and it will be better sooner than biter. The hotel is a wretched object now, and hardly safe for those who pass by ; it muet come down. But what a waste of lubcrl What ruinous expense in putting up, tak ing dowD, and putting up again. The like is the case, of the bably-built profess or ; his condition after his late temptation by no means commands respect. To what purpose has been his waste of professional zeal ! What cost yet awaits him ! Getting np the name of a Christian man, repent ing of the deceit, and clearing one's self of the falsehood, and. then going to God in sincerity so as to get upon the true foundation ; all this makes up a length ened process. How much better for the professing man to have taken heed to his building at the first ! Solidity turns out to be economy. Truth pays best. Wood, hay and Btubble may be cheBp at the mo ment, but before long they prove to be more coBtly than gold, silver and precious stones. When the fire comes, see how they are whirled away in clonds of smoke, while the poor builder loses his all. Mark how in another case the flood saps and mines the lower tiers of stone, and makes the wall heave, and ahift, and bulge till great is the fall thereof. Lotus learn rrom the follies ofothers. Fires and floods will come to us also, and we shall be doubly blamed if they find us unpre pared ; for as we are forewarned we ought to be forearmed. God grant that we may be. Take heed to thyself, good master, and do thy work for eternity, for any thing less lasting will bring thee misery. Dig deep ; build firmly, and be prepared for the un expected. The motto of the Armorers' Company in the olden time is a wise counsel for every man among us. Leave nothirjg uncertain in thy soul's affairs, but make all sure. Sword and Trowel. "'Wh soever' and 'whatsoever' are two precious words often in the mouth of Christ. 'Whosoever will may come Whatsoever ye shall ask in my -name that will I do.' 'Whosoever' is on the outside of the gate aud lets in all who choose; 'whatsoever is on the inside, and gives those who enter tbe free range of all the region, and treasury of grace, 'whom soever' makes salvation free; 'whatsoev er maes it full." Professor Hoge. . It is said that John Wesley was once walking along a road with a brother, who related to him his trouble, saying he did not know what he should do. They were at that moment passing a stone fence to a meadow, over which a cow was looking. 'Do you know," said Wesley '.'why the eow looks over tho wall t" "No," replied the one in trouble. "I will lejl yon," said Wesley, "because she cannot look through it; and that is what yon must do with your troubles ; look over and above them." My bark is wafted on tbe strand ' ' , By breath divine; And on the helea there rests a hand Otber tban naine. One who was known In storms to sail, I have on board; Above the roaring of tbe gale I have my Lord. Dean Alforix Useful Books. . . Any of the following named hocks sent by mail on receipt of price.
