SPECIAL NOTICES.
, Flower that Changes its Color.

Botany is division CT natural science
which treats of plants, and study of
Vegetable Physiology must be the foun-
dation of botanical knowledge study
only possible by the improvements in the
microscope and in organic chemistry. AS
plants are not scattered haphazard over
the earth, botanical geography must be
studied, and, with this, plant-history.
Botany will be applied to the wants Of
everyday life, as in Agriculture, Horti-
culture, or Medical Botany. Animals
often exhibit marvellous instinct in Sc
lecting medicinal herbs, and an observa-
ton Of their habits has often, even in the
present time, led to most valuable discov-
cries. And should man, with his knowl
edge and appliances, fail to discover less
than the brute? It is of Medical botany
we would speak, or of the HEPATINE
PLANT, discovered in Southern Nubia,
the Flower of which changes its color
with every change of the atmosphere.
The remarkable changes and variations
of this Plant and Flower have been for
years our special study, resulting in the
discovery of its possession of wonderful
medical properties, the existence and
value of which have heretofore been en-
tirely unknown to medical science. AT
ter much labor and scientific investiga-
ton, we have succeeded in extracting its
peculiar medicinal principles, which is a
specific and cure for all diseases of the
Liver, Stomach and Bowels; a perma-
nent cure for Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Spleen, Constipation, Jaundice, and all
Bilious Complaints. Of course we can
not send living Flower of this Plant to
all who read of Hepatine; but to all who
will send their address to MEhRELL &
CoUDEN, Philadelphia, Pa, with three.
cent stamp for return postage, we will
send FREE fac-simile of the Flower,
that will change its color just the same
as the real Hepatine Flower.

TINE, for sale by SIMPSON & SADLER,

Sir John Franklin.

History possesses fewer examples of more
heroic bearing and selfsacrificing efforts for
the advancement of the material interests of
mankind than that exhibited by this noble
martyr in his exertions to make discovery
which if accomplished would open to the
world advantages beyond computation.
But how insignificant are geographical dis
coveries, when compared with those that
benefit the human organization, showing
how in this life enemies may be vanquished,
how the brain may be invigorated and rem
dered capable of grasping the most abstruse
questions, whether scientific commercial or
mechanical. This can never be the case
while the body is enfeebled by disease The
blood must be healthy, all machinery of
body must be in perfect working order,
otherwise the brain is weak and total in
competency to grasp the great issues of life
is the result.
Such discovery has been made by DR..
Tut in his celebrated Liver Pills. They
have accomplished more good to the human
family than could ever have been attained
by the success of Sir John Franklin.

HOMICIDE.

On the night of the twenty-second instant,
Mr.. Allen S. Barksdale went to the house of
Mrs. Mary A. Gray, one of his tenants, and
a difficulty ensued, which terminated in the
death of Barksdale from a cut in the head
by an axe. Trial Justice J. L. Bryant held
an inquest over the body, and verdict that
the deceased was killed by an axe in the
hands of Mrs. Mary A. Gray, in self defence,
was rendered. Upon this, Mrs. Gray was
committed to Jail, and on Saturday last was
brought before Trial Justices John E. Brea-
zeale and G. W. Hammond, upon Habcas
Corpus. Gen. J. w. Harrison represented
the State, and Maj. John B. Moore appeared
for the prisoner. Mrs. Gray's affidavit set
forth, that on the night in question Mr..
Barksdale came to her house with drawn
knife, and threatened to cut her throat, be-
cause she had taken a warrant for him be-
fore J. L. Bryant, ESQ.,; that he then
rushed on her; She gave back to the corner
of her room; he followed and cut her; she
got an axe and struck him twice; he cuther
again; she tried to escape; he kicked her SO
that she fell, and he fell two; she got hoe
and struck him twice; he cut her about the
face and neck, and swore he would kill her
she then got the axe and struck him lick
which killed him; as soon as he fell she sent
for neighbors. No one was present except
her little children.
Doctors Scudday and Wilhite submitted af-
fdavits that the cuts upon Mrs. Gray were
from knife or some sharp instrument.
Mrs. Gray was bailed on her own recogni-
zance in the sum of five hundred dollars, to
appear for trial at the next term of Court for
this county.

Hints on Trestle Building.

MEssRs. EDIroRs.-The recent freshets
causing such general damage to the bridges,
&C., of this and the adjoining counties,
which finally ended in the terrible accident
at the Broadway trestle, whereby five lives
were lost and large amount of property de-
stroyed, call for some remarks upon the con-
struction of trestles in this country.
The "trestle" is eminently an American
structure, and for bridges of small span is
often preferred. There is no doubt that
when properly made, it is very good plan
costing less time and money than others,
but unless the following points are carefully
attended to, is subject to destruction as in
the Broadway case:
The first great care in building trestle is
to have good foundations for the benches to
rest on. These foundations should be of
piles, driven to depth of fifteen or twenty
feet, according to the quality of the soil
where the trestle is to be located, or excava-
tions made and filled up with masonry, or
even dry wooden wall in the excavation
filled with rocks, is far preferable to the
present practice. The next point for con-
sideration is the timber 1t should be well
seasoned, and every mortice ere receiving its
tenon should be filled with coal tar or some
such preservative against moisture and its
consequent rot. Now, these two simple pre-
cautions would prevent most of the acci-
dents we so frequently have to lament.
Most builders will object to the piles for
foundations as being too costly; but any
engineer can fit guides on the trestle he has
erected in which to work the driver and
drive the necessary number alongside the
"mud SILL" After they are driven, cut them
off to the proper height, move our benches
on them, wedge up tight and the thing is
done.
Let us now look at the present way of
erecting q trestle. The timber is cut in the
woods, carried to the mill, and in the course
of few days is framed into trestle, proba-
bly, its location is some narrow gorge in one
of our creeks, that with few hours rain be-
come torrent. The mud sills" (verily
they are well named) are placed on the mud
at best earth, and in some cases of extraordi-
nary precaution, few plank or old sills are
placed under them In the meantime, the
timber has partially dried and shrunk.
What is the consequence? Every tenon is
too small for its mortice, and only for the
weight on them or the pin through, it would
drop out In this fix freshet comes. The
mud (at best earth) soon washes out from
under, raft of trash forms against the
bench leg, or u log strikes it, carrying away
one bench, perhaps two or three to keep it
company, and the next train which comes
along goes down, and the whole country is
Mortified with the loss of life. People say,
"who would have thought water could do so
much harm?" 1t was not the water alone
that was to blame, but also the culpable
negligence of the builder. Well, I suppose
we must put up with the loss of q few lives
occasionally, until some one becomes inter-
ested enough in the matter to try what a
little legislation would do for it. What if
our able representatives tried it.
