Proeress Ortue ReyoIution.-

new light dawned upon me world
with the Introduction of PLANTATIos Biz.
TENs twelve ye4rs ago. Drastic purgation
went out-restoration and renovation came
in. The eyes Of the people were opened to
the great fact that the way TO cure disease
10 to strengthen and support it's victims,
not to place them at its mercy by depriv
ing them of the little strength they have.
IL soon became evident that as m ans of
infusing vitality into the feeble system,
regulating the s.cretion., curing indige.-
ton, and reforming bilious habit of body,
no medical preparation then known was
at all comparable TO the new restorative.
Since then hundreds of attempts have been
made to rival the Biiters. Theg have all
failed, and the GRAND REvoLUTios IN
MEDICAL TREATMENT, which was commenc
&c in 1860, is still in progress. Nothing
can stop it, for il is founded on the princ-
pie, now universally acknowledged, that
ply sical vigor is the most formidable an
iagonist Of all human ailments, and exper-
fence has shown that Plantation Bitiers IS
a peerless invigorani, as we'll as the bes
possible safeguard against epidemic dis
eases.

Growth OF Timber in lows.

A. R. Wright, Of this city, who has
given good deal Of thought to this
calculation to the growth Of timber in
Iowa, asserts that cottonwood, maple
and some other kinds Of timber are
more profitable crops than either
wheat or corn. Any person who has
lived at any given locality in Iowa for
ten years, can look back on the green
prairies Of ten years ago and see the
same prairies covered With groves,
ten, twenty and even Thirty Test in
height. When this ssory q toldto .
stranger il seems q ,eystesy 10 him
why a region SO favos1e " the

Durability Of Timber.

An experiment to determine the
comparative durability Of different
woods is related in Youngs Anaals
Of A1ricmitMc, which viii be much
more satisfactory than any speculative
opinion, and it is to be much regret
ted that such experiments have not
been oftener made.
Inch and . half planks Of trees from
thirty to forty-6ve years. growth, af-
ter ten years standing in the weather,
were examined and found to be in the
following state and condition:
Cedar, perfectly sound; larch, the
heart sound, but sap quite decayed;
spruce fir, sound; silver fir, in decay |;
Scotch FIR, much dccayed; pinaster,
quite rotten; chestnut, perfectly sound
abcle, sound; beech, sound; walnut, in
decay; sycamore, much dccaycd;
Difch, quite rotten.
This shows at once the kinds that
arc best adapt ID to resist the weather,
but even in the same kird Of wood
there is much difference, and the OBJ
servation is as old as Pliny that, "the
timber Of those trees which grow in
moist and shady places is not SO good
as that which comes from more ex-
posed situations" and Fitruvious has
made similar observations.
Also split timber is more durable
than sawed timber, for the assure in
splitting follows the grain and leaves
it whole, whereas the saw divides the
fbres and moisture finds more ready
access y The internal paris q the
wood.
Split timber is also stronger than
sawed, because the 6bres, being con-
tinuous, resist by means Of their lon
gitudinal strength; but when divided
by the saw, the resistance depends on
the lateral cohesion Of the 6brcs, which
in some woods is only one twentieth
Of tie direct cohesion Of the same
fibres. For the same reason whole
trees are stroger than specimens, I'M
less the specimens be selected Of q
small grain, but the difference in large
scantlings is SO small as not to be
deserving Of notice in practice.

The chances to make money are the

1t is good rule that "Ifyou want
to make money ypn must go where

And il he has anything to sch, it re-

one wants it, but because none are
able to pay. On the contrary, if he
wishes 10 buy, he will have long
trip bywagon to the nearest railroad
town-no roads or bridges, and prob
ably without Inhabitants. When he
gets there he finds that railroad that
has amonopbly of the transportation,
has taxed what he wishes to buy all
