A new plant has been added to the re sources of our tropical and seini-tropical regions—a new textile, which will furnish theworld with clothing and the means of knowledge. We have aeon, within a few days, long skeins of cotton-like fibre, cotton-like in whiteness, softness, and fine ness, but much stronger, which is now pro duced at the rate of five crops per year, In the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico, where it has been cultivated for five years by a Bel glen naturalist and botanist, who went there to pursue his favorite studies and oc cupations in a soil and climate which favor them. This plant, called the ramie, is a native of Java was introduced thence into the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris, by some French sa vant, in 1844; was regarded then as simply exhibiting the wonderful advantages of the tropics, being too delicate for open air cul ture in cold climates. But having been planted and tried in warmer climates than that of France, yet not so equatorial as that of Java, it has been found to do as well in them. It is due to M. Bonito Roezl, formerly chief of the Horticultural Institute of Bel gium, now of Santocomapran, San Andres Tustla, State of Vera Cruz, Mexico, that we can now pronounce it a naturalized plant of this continent, and to his present visit to this city will speedily owe its introduction into the field culture of the Gulf States, to which it will permanently pertain. • Thramiee (its Javanese name) is la plant like hemp, contains in its stalk the fibre for which it is raised, and which is grown like the sugarcane, from being planted in lengths or from its stubble; with this advantage over the stubble of the cane, that each sue eeeding year it grows better, and that in tuba una Lower Mexico it will furnish five, and here at least three cuttings in the year. By a new pros ess and some simple ma chinery invented by Mr. It., the lint can be prepared from the stalks, taken fresh from the ground, in twenty-four hours. We all know that months of labor and the entire discoloring of the fibre follows the treat ment by the ordinary proves of flax and hemp, while the ramie conies out white, clean, pure and unhurt. Bight hundred pounds of lint to the acre is to be expected from each cutting of full growth, In lidr land. The culture is simi lar to that of cane; but as the plant, when mice set, is hard to eradicate, grows vigor ously, and defies the in tluenee of grass or rival plantsomitivation is only needed to promote its growth. When ripe, it should be cut ; but neglect to do this causes no special damage, so that it may wait days or weeks the will of the free republicans of Mexico and the Union. The fibre is long, line and strong; the plant easy to raise, and hardy in a southern latitude; its preparation for market is simple and cheap in cost. Under these circumstances, we may safely pronounce that it will at an early day take high rank among our staples.—V. 0. Pienyaite. Interesting, Legal Decision The ease of M. J. Sinsebiglu vs. George A. Gourley, which has just been decided In ravor of the defendant by the Court of Com mon Pleas of Armstrong county, has been one of unusual interest, and created con. siderable excitement and sympathy in the neighborhood. B. 1•'. Gourley, after having paid his addresses to the pl..intiff for some considerable time, enlisted in the Sixty second Pennsylvania Regiment, in this city, In lstlt, :cud died after serving a few months. Before leaving home, Gourley sent two notes, amounting to WO, to the plaintiff, with the request that in case he never got Lack she should use them. After his death, his brother, G. A. Gourley, be came his administrator, and had the body embalmed and brought home for interment at considerable expense, and also paid sev eral debts, using the money for that pur pose which the notes called for. The plain tiff then entered suit for the value of the notes, claiming them as donationes mortals causa, while the defendant alleged that they should he devoted to the payment of the funeral expenses and debts in the first place, and the balance go to his mother. At the first trial before Judge Buffington, the plaintiff obtained a verdict for the amount of the notes, when the defendant's counsel sued out a writ of error, and upon the ( . 11,10 being argued before the Supreme Court, the judgment was reversed and avenire de novo awarded. The recoed, however, remained in the Supreme Court for a year, when a re-argument was granted, which resulted in remitting the case for a new trial. The case was tried again before Judge Buffing ton, last week, and resulted in a verdict for defendant. The verdict appears to give general satisfaction to the citizens of Arm strong county. The Crimes of the Late Burglar llloomed Crimes greater than those previously al leged against the burglar Monzani, who was shot in his tracks in Brooklyn. N. Y., on Sunday morning last, have been developed. It is now believed that he murdered his first wife and child, by drowning them in New town ('reek. The story is common in that township, that a few years ago he took them out on the creek in a small boat and return ed some time afterward, saying that the boat upset and they were both drowned, which appeared a very improbable story at the time, and more improbable now that his bad character has been revealed. It is also believed by Mr. Francis Smith, who was shot in his bed-room at his residence South First street, during the small hours of the morn ing of a Sunday in December, 1865, and nabbed of 31,200, that Monzani committed the deed. Mr. Smith examined the body of the criminal after his death, and expressed the belief that ltlJ was the man. The fact that Monzani deposited a large sum of money in the Kings County Savings bank about this time is additional proof against him in this matter. That he assassinated officer :John Iliuwell it is firmly believed will be fully proved at the inquest on Fri day night. The right name of the monster was Thodaldi 11. Monzam. He had accu mulated considerable real estate by his villainies, and owned property in Kings and Queens Counties. Congressman Morrissey The Washington correspondent of We Boston Trace/ter describes this noted char acter as follows: Professional physiognomists and micro scopic examiners may say what they please of the tell-tale countenance of this ex prizo fighter and present faro-banker; I look from no closer point of view than the gal lery, and thus inspected Mr. Morrissey is an exceedingly handsome man, and one of rather prepossessing appearance. His figure is very large and imposing, and I doubt not there are several eminently respectable legislators of untrustworthy phsique, who would he wiling to change records with him if his sups vb chest and shoulders could be thrown into the bargain. His complexion is particularly delicate, with no traces of hard usage or high living in the smooth white cheeks, with their suggestions of pink. He wears a full though not long beard, which looks at a distance very soft and silky; and his hair, not yet beginning to thin out Its in the ease of nine Congress men out of ten, has that intense earliness, coiling up in ten thousand little ringlots without a suspicion of wooliness, which is very rarely seen in Americans. His in jured nose hardly amounts to a disfigure ment. Bravest of the Brave The telegraph brings the sad, although not wholly unexpected news, of the capture oi Fort Buford by the Indians, and the murder of the entire garrison Fort Buford is at the mouth of the Yellowstone River, on the Upper Missouri, and was garrisoned by only about fifty men. Again and again have the Yancton, Sioux and Tetans made hostile demonstrations around the little fort, and as many times have they been repulsed by the daring and bravery of the com mander and his handful of men. Colonel Rankin, who held the post, sent word at least a half dozen times to the authorities at Washington, begging for an increase:of force or release from so perilous a position. But the Department heeded not his entree ties, and now he and all his men, with the families of a number, are murdered. Ills own wife, it is reported, he himself shot, to prevent her from falling into the hands of the Indians. Seldom has a man fought harder than did Colonel Rankin. He killed three hundred red skins, and wounded a good thousand more; but his own life was the cost thereof. When will the govern ment put an end to these brutal outrages? How long will It suffer its soldiers to be murdered outright?—New York Evening Gazette. Ynneral of Senator Biddle. The remains of the Hon.

But as the fashi..nable gatherings, in view of which these elaborate toilets have been prepared, are esteemed successful according to the intensity of the crowding which takes place in them, the streaming tails of the ladies are soon twisted into rolls which produce, whenever their wearer makes a turn, the most comic effect. The train, in feet, behaves just as does the tail of a tine Angora cat, or any other animal whose caudal appendage is too long for the rest of its bedy.—Paris Correa. Death from Tight Lacing A distressing case of foolish yielding to the dictates of vanity occurred at Dayton last week. A young lady had been in the habit of lacing very tightly for along while, and had caused a hook to be placed in the wall of her room, and she would fasten her corset-strings to it to enable her to draw her corset tighter. She had done it so long with impunity that she grew careless, and the other day, in repeating the torture, she threw herself too heavily on the corset stringe and broke a blood vessel, from which she died in a few hours. A sad com mentary on attempting to make the form, from a mistaken idea of beauty, different from what it naturally Is. Escape of a Murderer HUDSON, N. Y., April 2.—Last evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, John Welch, who was confined in our jail charged with mur dering his wife at Germantown a few weeks ago, made his escape in a very mysterious manner, accompanied by John Hagadorn, who was confined for a minor offense. It is supposed they must have had a false key or invented an instrument to unlock the door. The turnkey entered the jail about 7 o'clock, and found everything al: right; he re-entered again about 8 o'clock to lock the prisoners in their cells, and on going to the cell of Welch found it vacant. Think ing be might be in Hagadorn's cell, he pro ceeded there and found that vacant also. A thorough search was then made, and it was ascertained they had both fled. The Sheriff offers a reward of $2OO for the capture of Welch, and $5O for the capt ure of Hagadorn. Descriptions of the fugitives have been sent to all points where they would be likely to turn up.—N. I'. Tribune. Stierldan's Removals In Louisiana The Secretary of War, a few days ago, sent a message to General Sheridan request ing a report of his action and the causes of the removals, but the report has not been received, though momentarily expected. The subject bas been informally discuss ed in the Cabinet, and it was understood to be the sense of the Administration that the military commanders are not warranted, under the Reconstruction act, in removing civil officers, unless they are in some way obstructing the execution of the law ; and that when such removals have been made, even upon good and suf ficient grounds, the law does:not authorize a military commander to appoint their suc cessors. He can assign military officers to official duties which civil officers fail to ex ecute, but tie cannot appoint Attorney Generals and other State officers. 'rhis is merely the informal conclusion of the Ad ministration, but the subject haenot been regularly before the Cabinet nor referred to the Attorney General. 'ttoruemS-at-`gaW. A. J.

REPARATOR CAPILLI Throw away y .ur false frizzes, your switches, your wig— Destructive of comfort, and not worth a fig ; Come aged, come youthful, come ugly and fair, And relolce in your own luxuriant hair. ItEPARATOR CAPILLI. For restoring hair upon bald heads from whatever cause it may have fallen odt and forcing a growth of hair upon the face, t has no equal. It will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest face In from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to three months. A few ignorant practitioners have as serted that there is nothing that will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions are false, as thousands of living wit nesses (from their own experience) can bear witness. But many will say, how are we to distinguish the genuine from the spurious? It certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the dif ferent Preparati t or advertised for the hair and beard are entir ly worthless, and you may have already thrown away large amounts in their purchase. 'To such we would say, try the Reparator Cappilli ; it will cost you nothing unless it fully comes up to our representations. If your Druggist does Lot keep it, send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, together wig h a receipt for the money, which will be re turned you on application, providing enthe satisfaction is not given.
