C A M PBEJLL & JONES, MACON, GA., A new and somewhat singular mate rial for railway and tramway sleepers has lately been introduced in to England, this material being glass toughened by a process discovered by Mr. Frederick Siemens, of Dresden, Owing to fur. Sicmen’s patents for the most recent improvements in his process not yet being completely soc.ire-.l-, we must' postpone for the present any dot al.of thetjugheuing process itself, bat wc mast-state that its effect appears to-be. to secure a product diFering essentially from glass t rnghened by the well known proc-ecs of M. Del a B-lsUe, inasmuch ns. when brokeu it does hit fly to pi-ces like glass treated by the. l.st mentioned process, b:it merely frac.'ires soiflowbat like cast iron. The material used by Mr. Siemens lor his sleepers is glass of the common est kind moulded tp a,ny desired form. Tko.sleepers are beiug introduced into thufesuiintry Mr, Hamilton Lindsay Bucktml!, vlio has lately laid soine of them on the line of North Metropolitan Tramways at High Street, Stratford; The sleepers iu this case lire of exactly thh same section as the wooden lohgita hal sleepers they have repfiftSd, namely rcct:ngnlar. 1 inches wide by 6 Inches dec-p, tho ufiper side beiug moulded as to accurately fit the rails. They are laid in lengths of 3 feet, and to avoid the danger of settlement at the joint bearing plates, 10 by 5 inches by 11 inch, are placed at these points, these platue being ulu uti iz.-d for effecting the securing of the rails by a fastening which obviates the necessity of mould ing any Ui/Ie iu the glass. We may add luat samples of the. sleepers above men tioned have been tested by Mr, Kiical- dy, and"their average breaking weight when resting on supports 3J inches apart has been found to be about five tons, this being probably ub ut two thirds of the resistance which wool 1 be afforded by a good pine sleeper ol simi lar dimension. It mu ft, however, be borne iu mind that, whereas the timber would become depreciatM by use* the glass promises to be practically inde structible by moisture, etc. At the works of Mr. William Houdey- son, a plate of Mr. fcsiejne'js’ toughened glass, 9 inches a<pu' - u by 1$ inch thick, embedded in iu gravel ballast 9 inches deep, an.1 having uu its top a wood packing 1 inch thick, and a piese of rail, was subjected to the ac.iou of a falling weight, the blows being delivered on the’rail. The weight was 9 C >vt., and bljws were successively being delivered- by letting tail weight fall from he gilts o' 3 feet,5 feet 6 inches, 7 feet.TO feet. 12 feel (5 inches, 15 feet, 17 feet 6 inches, and 20 feet. (Jades the list mentioned blow the rail broke, the glass, however, being uuinjured. As a higher fall could not be obtained, and a- greater, weight was not available, a singller section ol rail was substituted for that previou «ly employed, and the glass was broken by a second blow of the 9cwt. falling 20 feet the plate being diivon through the ballastiot ) the hard grou id. A cast iron plate, 9 inches square and 1 inch thick, tested .in a similar way, broke with a blow from the 9owt., weight dropped 10 feet The cost of the toughened glass is stated to bo about the same per ton as as that of cast iron, but as its s, ec-ifi gravity is only about one third that of iron, cost of any art cle. of given dimen sions is of course materially less. The material hasms.yet.beeu too recently in troduced, aud too little is known of its characteristics, t > euable any very de cided opinion to be loomed as to its fu- tnre capabilities; but'the results of the experiments so far made with the ma terial am ceitaiuly of an exceedingly promising chnractor, and the further development of its application will be watched with much interest.—Engineer- FRUIT TREES BAR AND RESTAURANT, Of tficTarietres Best Adap ted to tills Section.

But it is also an established fact that they do not remove the cause, that pro duces the Chills. For if they did, the Chills would not.return on the 7th, 14tli, ,21st or 28th day. Then is it net money LOST to attempt in' permanent)^ cure the Chills with Quinine or Cinchonidia, when they do not remove the cause from the system that produces them? For until the cause is removed, the Chills will relurn. The BAGU1NG AND TJLfciS FUBNISHED REMEMBER I ONLY CHARCE GEORGIA HOMEINSURANCECO TOTAL ASSETS' - - 8544,72105.

TLe Scientific America?i describes there plants and their effecis, as follows; Theyare found growii g from two and three inches high to ten or fifteen feet; in the old ones the stem is whitish, and red berries nsualij grow on the top. It emits a. peculiar, disagrcable smell, but is best known by its leaf, having a point on the top, and is jagged all around the edge, like tlie nettle. All the leaves are large, some larger than a saucer. Sometimes, says a traveler, while Shooting turkeys in the scrubs I have entirely forgotton the stinging tree till warned by its smell, and I have then found myself in a forest of them. I was only once stuug, and that very lightly. Its effects are carious. It leaves no mark, but .the pain is maddening, and for months the part when touchetl is tender in rainy weather, or when it gets wet in washing etc. I have seen a man who treats ordina ry pain lightly, roll on the grpun I iu agony after being stung, and I have known a horse so entirely mad liter getting into a grove of the trees, that he rushed opemmoathed at every one who approached Jinn, and had to be shot in the scrub. Dogs when stung will rush around, whining piteon dy, biting pieces from the affected part. The small stinging iiees, a few inch es high, are as dangerous as any, being -hard to see, and beiioutly imperiling one’s ankles. The scrub is nsnally found growing among palm trees.
