t seems that the compound is sometimes used for blasting purposes in coal and iron mines. Kach canister is of a square shape, about fifteen inches in length and six in width, consists of tin, is covered with wicker- work, and packed in a large hamper, the vacant epace being filled up with straw. It is called Nobel's Patent Nitro-Glycerine.

Each vessel is labelled ** poison, ’ and contains |

a series of inetructions o! which the following |

business, and the reports they bring back are paintul in the extreme. Broken merchants in every town and village, fine plantations sold for less than a moiety of their value, planters hopeless- ly involved in debt—these are matters of every- day observation. In some towns every store is shat up by the sheriff, and the goods when sold bring up a mere song. In short, there ia no money im circulation. If a planter bas a few bales of cotton, and the claims upon it would swallow it up over and over, as is very often the case, be senda it to market under another name, that he may save something for the support of his family. This may not be morally rigbt, but how few have the courage to take the bread out of the mouths of their children. This picture is far frou being overdrawn, nor does it represent the condition of but a single State. It is almost everywhere the same. A northern gentleman passing through here only a day or two ago from a tour of observation in the South gives a tright- ful statement uf the condition of things there. In Alabama, for instance, where the negroes have absolute sway, he says the fine eottun lande of that State are actually selling for thirty or forty cents per acre, which sold before the war fur more than as many dollars. ——— i

We often bear of the lost arte of ancient eivili- zation. We are often called upou to admire the splendid temples, the magnificent theatres, the ajestic monumental piles, the exquisite statues, and the splendidly-cut gemma of antiquity. These external weworials have been left behind by the Greeks and Romans, those colossal nations of early times. Ot their social condition, we know only what is gleaned from their literature. We are aware tbat they had physiciaus, but we are ignorant of their mode of treatment. The few medical writers whose work have come down to us, seem to have knowa early as much as the modern faculty; indeed, the latter appear to have relied upon Galen for the rudiments of their profession. We have often wondered whether they possessed at any time in their history, such medicines as have been given to our age by the celebrated Holloway. We conclude that they had not.
