To us it seems apparent from the
results in this trial, the Beeeher-Til
ton, as well as in a thousand other in
stances which have occurred and are
constantly occurring, that some new
plan is needed, some substitute for
our jury system, has become, or is
fast becoming, a necessity. The civ
ilization of a century or two clings to
this system, which for so long a time
was considered the great bulwark of
freedom, and it may take a long while
to work out the cure for the faults
which it is so easy to see exists in it
at the present time. The question
is worthy the attention and earnest
thought and labor of our best and
most earnest and philosophic states
men. There is need of a great im
provement, and the subject cannot
long rest without exciting discussion.

THE DAILY TIMES.
I Wlirnt Nurture Growth In the Fall 1m
wliat !m Wanted
Winter wheat is most apt to he
iujured by alternate freezing and
thuwiug, to a great depth. When
the ground is frozen deeply, |the
wheat plant does not, and cannot,
“heave out.” When wo have a
deep frost, then a few days of mild
er weather thaws the surface, ami
a very slight frost following, this
will snap the wheat roots and
leave them on the surface and tills
occurs alike on drained or undrained
soil. There is no absolute remedy
for this evil, but it can be palliated
by encouraging a different habit of
growth of wheat roots. Here
comes in the advantage of a rich,
mellow and shallow sect! bod for
wheat, with a hard underpan, repell
ing rather than inviting fall growth
of wheat roots downwards. There is
no use trying to get long, deep
roots on the wheat plant in the fall.
Ton chances to one, if we do, the
freezing and thawing of winter will
break the roots and injure, if not
distroy, the plant. Better far, in fall,
encourage a strong growth of roots
near the surface, forming a mat
through tho soil which, when frozen,
shall rise and fall together. This is
not mere theory, but a fact I have
often noticed ou tho laud once
plowed, with a rich and shallow seed
bed.
The advantage of surface manur
ing for wheat, as also of superphos
phate and other commercial fertil
izers drilled in with the seed, seems
to lie largely in promoting a large
surface growth of wheat routs. This,
with the leaves of the plant, prevents
deep freezing, and keeps the wheat
roots under a mulch, which makes
tho soil light and promotes rapid
growth in early spring. Avery small
quantity of any rich fertilizer will
thus adu immensely to the yield—not
entirely by its direct effect, but in
preventing winter-killing and heav
ing out of the plant. In no other
way can I explain the extraordinary
results I have known from a small
application of superphosphate—often
ten and fifteen bushels of wheat, or
600 and 900 pounds, from 200 pounds
of superphosphate. [Cor. Country
Gentleman.

A correspondent of the Department
writes from Jefferson county, Ala. and
sends a description of a grass which
made its appearance In that county,
on the Little Cupuba river, and "is
new to all who have seen it.” It was
discovered two years ago. It spreads
rapidly on bottom lands, but. not on
upland. Last year, T. K. Truss sow
ed one acre in wheat on rich bottom
land in Cupuba valley. After the
wheat was gathered, the land not be
ing plowed, this grass came up spon
taneously. In the autumn hecutund
baled il, and sent it to a commission
merchant in Birmingham. The bill
of sale was as follows: Twenty bales
of hay, s,466pounds, $101.7(1, expenses,
$12.55; net profit $92.21. As to the
quality of the hay, it, is pronounced by
livery stable men equal to timothy.
He forwarded with this reporta spe
cimen of tlie seed and a stalk of tho
grass, measuring nine feet in length;
but those have not been received.

Investigation of A licked Fraud*.
New Orleans, August s.—Special
Treasury Agent, T. G. ICingella, has
been employed all this week in inves
tigating the charges made against
tho superintendent of labor in the
Arehitectoral Department of the
Custom-house, by the laborers re
cently discharged. They allege that
they were to receive three dollars per
day and were paid only two and a
half to one arid a quarter. The in
vestigation is aimed particularly at
Col. Morse, who has been in this de
partment of the government many
years. It is far from complete, and
will be rigidly pressed by Mr. Kin
sella, and the result reported to tho
Treasury Department at Washing
ton. So far the payrolls as signed
by the complainants do not sustain
tho charges. On the other hand,
they were shown to have been dis
charged for neglecting their work.

More Whiskey seizure*.
Chicago, August 5. - One of Wash
burns’secret service detectives yes
terday made a seizure of about four
hundred barrels <■[ whiskey, which
he found Hi the Chicago Canal and
Dock Company’s warehouse, near tho
corner of Taylor and Canal streets.
He discovered the whereabouts of the
stuff some time last week, but de
ferred making the seizure for reasons
best known to himself until it was
observed that some freight ears were
standing suspiciously near tho place,
wheD he preferred to wait no longer.
On looking the barrels all over he
came to the conclusion that they con
tained whiskey. This key, and on
comparing stamps, his suspicions
were confirmed. The stuff belonged,
for the most part, to the firm of Ool
sen & Cos. It is estimated to be worth
between $30,000 and $35,000.
Revenue.
Washington, August s.— The re
ceipts to-day were: from internal
revenue, $337,621 29; from customs,
$896,435 90; the amount of national

Treasury to-day for redemption ag
gregated $780,565.

Parker Unraprs from Jail.
Columbia,. B. 0., August s.—Parker,
the South Carolina defaulter, Is out
!of jail. The jailor reports that he
I was In jail at 10 o’clock last night,
| and must have left between that hour
and 11. Just before 10 a bottle of
I brandy was sent to him from Hardy
j Solomon, part of which was found in
his room afterwards. It is said that
he climbed out through the scuttle
hole ami down the lightning-rod.
Upon the lower {insulator of tho lat
ter was found a piece of his mosqui
to-net, which he had wrapped around
his hands to protect them, and at the
foot of it was his pistol. Alexander
Mattison and Parker’s colored driver
have been arrested and arc now in
jail on the charge of assisting him by
bringing his two horses to meet him
at the Jews' burying ground. The
horses were brought back to their
stable last night. Tho above is the
statement received at tho Sheriff’s
office.
Siltiqiftisloit lit tironklyn.
New York, August s.—The Foster
Brothers, carpet dealers, in Brook
lyn, have suspended. Their liabili
ties are estimated at $265,000 and
their assets at $200,000. All tho cred
itors are New York merchants; none
of them will suffer by the suspension.
It is expected by the firm that in a
few days satisfactory arrangements
will bo reached in the meantime
business will go on as usual.

The Freshet*.
Cairo, 111., August 5.--The Ohio
river here lust evening was at 44 feet
and 5 inches ou the gauge. The news
about the river is very discouraging.
A big rise is coming out of the Ten
nessee and Cumberland rivers, also
out of the Wabash, consequently at
Evansville and Paducah the water is
coming up fast. <Tho rise horo dur
ing tho past twenty-four hours is nine
inches against eleven inches tho pre
vious day. If tho Ohio continues ris
ing here at. the same rate for tho next
twenty-four hours it will bo from four
to six miles wide from Columbus,
Ivy., up towards Paducah, Ky., for a
long distance-the depth at present,
as indicated on the gauge, being
forty-seven feet at Cairo. The Mis
sissippi river will overflow the Mis
souri shore, and the Cairo levees will
be in danger.
It is Impossible to estimate the un
easiness felt and the damage done in
tho Ohio and Mississippi valleys. It
looks now as if there was to boa rep
etition of dangerous floods of other
years, which destroyed tho Mississip
pi levees and millions of acres of
crops. Tho weather to-day is warm
and a little cloudy. The oldest river
men hero say they never saw such
floods in July or August. There is
danger all around us.
Memrhis, Tenn., Augusts.- A boat
that came up last night, reports two
foot to spare on the leveo. Iu Bolivar
county, Mississippi, they think them
selves safe. Tlioy arc patrolling the
leveo constantly. The Arkansas
shore is overflowed iu several places.
Here tho water is one foot below the
high water mark of last Spring, and
28 inches of that of 1867. It has risen
two inches since yesterday.

Within the lust ten years the progress of dis

the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial aud industrial
activity has been commenced.
Largo accessions to our geographical kuowl
edge have been made by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
Tho great political revolutions of the last de
cade, witli the uutural result of the lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are iu every one's mouth, and
of whose lives every oue is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which the de
tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or iu the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place iu perma
nent and authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish an uccurato account of
the most recent discoveries in science, of overy
fresh production in literature, ami of tho newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and care
ful preliminary labor, aud with the most ample
resources lor carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype plates havo
been used, but every page has been printed ou
new type, forming in fact a now Cyclopiedia, with
the same plan and compass us its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements iu its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict the most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although Intended for Instruction rather than
embelishment, no jjains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopnidia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is Bold to Subscribers only, payable,
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
cow’s udder and kept dry for years, then mois
tened, and the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
in it and drawn gently on tho arm, so as not to
draw the blood, will so impregnate and change
tho entire system as to prevent the party so vac
cinated from taking the most loathsome of dis
eases (small pox) for an entire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change au unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious cllmo, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere the x>oison malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize aud
destroy the poißon, known as malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we have prepared it. and applied it, aud proved
it iu our Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt—aud
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the worst malarial districts without tho fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills and Fever, Bllllous or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation aud Hem
orrhoids, aud that it will cure all the above dis
eases, except the worst cases of Billious and Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, as it corrects the humors of the uody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, and thus enabling it to per orm its various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria in
the least.
It ha* been tried iu thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can bo obtained Irom tho proprietors iu
any quantity at the Powell Building, Junction of
Broad and Peaclitreo streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cuie or the money refunded.
N. B.—None genuine without the trade mark
is stamped upon them.

Atlanta, Ga., June 5, 1875.
Messrs. Love A Willson: Gentlemen—lu April
last I was taken sick with regular Fever and
Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had
run on mo for two weeks, 1 was induced to try
one of your Auti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, and simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left mo entirely, with a good appe
tite aud clear skin; aud in future, il I should ever
have a Chill or Agile, I would want one of your Pads,
aud no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
so unfortunate as to have Chills and Fever may
be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts,
I am, respectfully, etc.,

Dus. Lovk A Willson:
On the first (lay of December last I was taken
with Chillß and Fever in ThomasviUe, Houthwes
tern Ga., and was treated for the same by three
eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
for a few days at a time. It made such inroads
ou iny constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be iu tho first stages of consumption,
wh en I accidentally met up with Drs. Love A Will
sou’s Auti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured
me. I have had but one chill since, and that was
the first day ufter putting it on. lam now in as
good health as I ever was in my lile, and think
this Belt a Uod-send to the afflicted.

Cannon House, Atlanta, Ga., June 4,1875.
Borne nine years ago I contracted malaria in
Savannah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, ever since, until I met up with Drs. Lovo A
Willson’s Auti-malarial Belt some three months
ago. I have worn it continually, and have had no
chill since, and find my general health, which
has been poor, much improved. I would recom
mend it to others suffering with malaria.

aud other remedies, and that they failed till they
