UG351 llEADACI1E Is the faVOrlte sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever
from the natural state Of the brain, and view
ed in this light it may be looked on as a safe
guard intended to give notice Of disease which
might otherwise escape attention, till too late
to be remedied; AMI its indications should
never be neglected. Headaches may be class
flied under two names, viz: Spmptomatic and
Idiopathic. Symptomatic Headache is exceed
ingly common and is the precursor Of a great
variety Of diseases, among which are Apo
plexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis
eases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic
OF disease OF the stomach constituting sick
headache, Of hepathlc disease constituting BILL
tous headache, of worms, constipation and other
disorders Of the bowels, as we'll as renal and
uterine affections. Diseases Of the heart are
very frequently attended with Headaches; An
emia and plethora are also affections which
frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic
Headache is also very common, being usually
distinguished by the name Of nervous headache,
sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of
apparently sound health and prostrating at
once the mental and physical energies, and in
other Instances it comes on slowly, heraldcd
by depression Of spirits or acerbity of temper.
In most instances The pain is in tho, front #
the head, over one or both ey cs, and sometimes
provoking vomiting; under this class may also
be named Neuralgia. .
For the treatment Of either class of Head
ache the Cephalic Pills have been found sure
and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains
in few minutes, and by its subtle power Grad
'cating the diseases of which Headache is the
unerring index.

What is Martial Law!

A contemporary, in speaking of d" Mar
tial Law" term now in so general use,
says it is generally and vaguely held tc
be suspension of all ordinary civil
rights and processes-and as such, APP
proximates closely to a military despot-
ism. 1t is an arbitrary law, originating
in emergencies. In times of extreme
peril to the State, either from without OF
from within, the public welfare demands
extraordinary measures; and martial law
being proclaimed, signifies that the oper.
alton Of the legal delays of justice is sus
pended by the military power, which has
for the time become supreme.
1t suspends the operation of the writ
of hodeas corpus !, enables persons charg-
ed with treason to be summarily tried by
Court Martial instead of Grand Jury
justifes searches and seizures of private
property, and taking possession Of public
highways and other means of communi-
cation. Involving the highest exercise
of sovereignty, it is, Of course, capable
of great abuse, and is only to be justified
on emergencies of the most imperative
and perilous nature, such as now appear
10 exist in Baltimore and Washington.

Flat Culture.

The Hortculturist had an editorial on
"Flat Culture" from which we make the
following extract:
For a number of years there has been
a diversity of opinion in regard to two
strongly contrasted modes of culture, the
one termed Flat Culture" the other
Killing" The distinguished feature OF
the first consisting in leaving the surface
of the soil level, and that of the latter
consisting in drawing masses of earth up
10 the plants in the form of hillocks or
ridges, according to the mode of plant
ing adopted.
The advocates for billing" principal
ly claim that it retains moisture" :. de-
creases the evaporation" and strength
ems" the plant, but how they do not ex-
plain but we question the truth of these
points, where by fiat culture the soil can
always be kept open and porous, and Its
absorbing powers more fully retained. In
regard TO the decreasing evaporation
by billing, it is so transparent that evap.
Grafton is increased by the operation, thai
we leave the point without further com.
ment for the present. 1t is we'll under
stood that billing and ridging were intro
duced to get rid of surplus moisture
Killing, also, is said, strengthens the
plant, the word being generally used il
a mechanical sense for instance, it Ii
conteuded that corn, when billed, is les.
liable to be blown down"
The Honiculturist then comes to thu
following conclusion
Killing, undoubtedly, has its plac,
and its advantages, and they are chiefly
found in moist climate and wet, hea
Wy, undrained soil. Flat culture, W,
think, will prove the system for our eli
mate. Let it be more commonly trieC
and adopted as its advantages may seen

UNITY OF THE SPECIEs-A JUMP TO A
CONCLUSION believe that animals
have descended from at most only four
or five progenitors, and plants from an
equal or lesser number. Analogy would
lead me one step further, to the belief
that all animals and plants have descend
ed from one prototype. But analogy
may be deceItlul guide. Nevertheless
all living things have much in common,
as their chemical composition, their ger
minal vesices, their cellular structure,
and their laws OF growth and reproduc-
ton. Therefore L should infer from
analogy that probably all the organic be-
ings which have ever lived on this earth,
have descended from one primordial form,
into which life was first breathed. -Dar-
