ANEW and valuable trestle Bridge has, been patented

attained by the structure is spoken of as being wonderful.
The inventor feels confident tnat no weight which could be
placed upon it, could break it down. This consideration,
taken together with the economy with which it may be built,
will render it worthy the attention of all who are interested
in the rnbjoct. This bridge is adapted peculiarly to Rail
roads as well as county roads, as it can he made of any re
quired span, so as not to obstruct the navigation of streams
when rafts or boats might be desired to pass, and can also
be built at a very moderate expense. . , . cw

The Fugitive Slave Law. An indictmet having;

acuse, N Y., as a fugitive slave, the trial came on in
the Circuit Court on Monday last, the charge being U r
kidnapping a free man. On Tuesday Gerrit Smith,
one of the counsels for the prosecution made a tremen
dous speech which occupied seven hours in the deliv

quitted the prisoner
The Tribune and the Whig Platform. The
New York Tribune cordially endorses ihe nomination
of Gen. Scott, but ridicules ihe idea of the Whig Plal
form settling the compromise question, and adds:
' But by the question 'thus settled, 'the plank ev
idently mean to cover all questions relative to slaveiy,
and to denounce all discussions, criticism or remon
strance respecting the existence of slavery in this coun
try a perilous and wrong. All this is alike futile
and preposterous; we defy it, execrate it, spit upon
it"
Magnanimity of General Gass The able corres
pondent of the Philadelphia Ledger relates the follow
ing of Genneral Cass.
" General Cass having been accosted to-day at the
National Hotel by one of his friends, who observed
that republics were ungrateful, the old statesman
instantly checked him by assuring him that the repub
lic of the United Stales had been remarkably grateful
to him. I crossed the Alleghanies on foot, said
General Cass ; I rowed my own boat on the Ohio ri
ver; and irom that humble position I have been exal
ted by the gratitude of the republic into every station
of honor, trust, and emolument, except one, and for
that one I have once been nominated, through not
elected. If there be a man in this nation who has
reason to thank the republic and the people for fa
vors bestowed on him, 1 am that man.' The would
be flattered was snubbed. Let every American state
man set a similar example of forbearance and selden
ial." A Factory Girl in Luck Some three years
since, a poor tartory girl working in one of the vil
lages on the Blackstone river, in Rhode Island, was
given a sealed letter by a maiden aunt, with a solemn
injunction not open it until she was 18 years old. The
git was then 15. On the 23d of last month, being

directions for her to obtain a fortune of $3,000 willed

Whnt a blessing 5t Is for a togae to have lome
" standing" in society ! We have seen a man sen
fenced to three years imprisonment for stealing a
half barrel of s"ugar. 1'rne it was a second offence,
and was law. But then be wore a ragged coat, and
his face wot e a rougher hoe than tbe lily fingered
gentry around him? Nobody, of course. "Shut
up the loafer ; who cares for him?" Is tbe language
and feeling of all " respectable people." We have
seen care-worn faces confined to prison for an equal
length of time, for offences scarcely greater, and
where we kneie that want had driven to madness and
desperation. Society, especially "respectable peo
ple,"' (that means rich, now-adays, you know,") said,
serred 'urn right," and piety and philanthropy
slept easy.
A short time since, a tnan stole some $90,000 from
the Suffolk Bank in Boston stole it .genteelly ; and
he was called a " defaulter." He was not a thief j
oh ! no, not he. lie was a defaulting bank officer.
Able counsel aided "him in his defence. He Was tried
amidst a group of sympathising ' friends, and hun
dreds prayed, as does tho mockery of an old indict'
ment : " May the good Lord send yon a safe deliv
erance.'" He wore fine clothes. Then he had done
up the thing on a mngfiificent scale, too. This ia
why he hni friends around him, and was not called
a thief. This gigantic default made bis sin white
as snow in the eyes of his friends.
Well, this man Mr. Brewer was his name was
the other day in Boston, found guilty, and sentenced
to one day's solitary confinement and three years in
the State Prison! The humnhe judge expressed
much sympathy and regret at being obliged to sen
tence him so long. If he had made his whole pro
perty safe, he gets $30,000 a year for his services to
the State. Whether he has done this or not, he will
be respected when he comes out, and perhaps be
pardoned before his time is out.
Suppose a man had stolen a horse with a hundred
dollars : would he have been sentenced to less than
three years 1 The probability is, he Would have
received six years, if he was a poor man, and was
not able to wear a fine coat. What encouragement
there is tor honesty am ing the children of ignorance
and want, when they see men who get good salaries
stealing their 100,000 at a time, and receiving a les
sentence than those who steal $100 to save them
selves from starvation 1 But there is aristocracy of
thieves, as well as other professions.
Providence Mirror.
The Food of Man.
Bayard Taylor now traveling in Africa, prcsehts a
very different opinion upon the vegetable and meat
eating natives from that which vegetarians promul
gate. They boast of the superiority of the rice and
milk eaters. Taylor boasts on the opposite side of
the road. Here is what he says ;
"The scenery of the Nile, southward from Shen
dy, is again changed. The tropical rains, which fall
occasionally at Abou Hammed and scantily at Ber
ber, are here periodical, and there is no longer tho
same striking contrast between desert and garden
land. The plains, extending inward from the river,
are covered with a growth of bushes and oaarse grass,
which also appears in patches on the side of tho
mountains. The inhabitants cultivate but a narrow
strip of beans and dourra along the river, but own
immense flocks of eheep and goats, which afford their
principal sustenance I noticed a new kind of grain
called 'dookhu,' of which they plant a larger quan
tity than of dourra. It is a germinaceous plant,
somewhat resembling " timothy gra," but with a
larger head and heavier seeds. They make from it a
coarse, black bread, which they say is more nntri
tious than wheat. Mutton, however, is the Kthio
pian's greatest delicacy. Notwithstanding this is
one of the warmest climates in the world, the peo
ple eat meat whenever they can get it, and greatly
prefer it to vegetable food. The sailors and camel
drivers, whose principal food is dourra, are. notwith
standing a certain quality tf endurance, as weak as
children, when compared with an ablebodied Euro
pean ; and they universally attribute this weakness
to their diet. This is a fact for lank Sylvester Gra
ham to explain. My experience coincides with that
of the Ethiopians, and I ascribe no small share of
my personal health and strength, which the violent
alternations of heat and cold have not shaken in the
least, to the fact of my having fared sumptuously
every day. If I had adopted a diet of rice and wa
ter, or bran and turnips, I should not be here togivc
this testimony."
Set a Good Rauiplr
Nothing is so c.isy done as to preach and talk of
obligations which we are under to do justly and walk
humbly; but it is altogether a different matter to
write, and preach, and talk simply by example. And
yet, though the former be useful, how much more
valuable and effective is the latter ? What are those
most beautiful essays on the cardinal virtues, com
pared with the excellence of the life in Which those
virtues have a living and vital existence? It was
not alone the doctrines advanced with such dignified
and persuasive eloquence, by our Saviour Jesus
Christ, nor the wonderful miracles performed by
him, which made the hearts of men follow after him,
these were rendered doubly effectual by the exam
ple which he set at all times, even under the most
trying circumstances.
And so it is now, in an humble sense, by mere hu
man hopes. Men may preach and the world will
listen, but profit comes by example. A parent, for
instance, inculcates gentleness to bis children by
many sound precepts, but they see him treat his
beast in a rude and angry manner, and, in conse
quence, his instructions are worse than lost, for they
are neither heeded or respected. His example, as a
gentle and humane man, would have been sufficient
for his children, without one word of command.
Men are just like children in this respect, and imi
tate a good example, while mere words, no matter
how good and true, without such example, will pass
into one" ear and out at the other.
Transplanting In Dry Weather, r GfotillnrV
Many people, in " waiting for a rainy tay," defer
transplanting so long that it is impossible for the
plant lo arrive at full maturity and perfection in the
C roper season, and as the chief value of many vegeta
tes depends upon their being early and seasonable,
we will furnish our readers with a method by which
they can transplant any plant shrub, or even tree, at
any time, without check or drawback.
In the first place, get a tub or bucket partly filled
with rain water, into which stir sufficient black muck
or fine leaf mould, from the woods, to make the mix
ture of the consistence of morter. Having prepared the
ground properly for your plants by manuring, spanding
and raking, make a good roomy hole for each plant,
placing in the bottom of it a little well-rotted man n re,
if you wish. Over this manure, sprinkle a handful of
good surface soil, keep the rootlets of the plant from
actual contact with h Then, with a common trans
planting trowel, raise the plant from the bed gently,
with all ihe earth that will adhere to, the roots dip
the roots into the thin batter or morter of leaf-mould,
or muck, before alluded to, (which must be well stir
red,) and then set the plant into the bole, already pre
pared. After settling it the proper depth, yon may
pour a little water around it, and fill up with dry earth,
letting no water or moisture come to the surface, as this
would produce evaporation.
The best time for transplanting, according to tb
method, is from four o'clock P. M. until dark, ar the
dews of night will assist the plant in obtaining a fool
hold in its new situation. Should the next "day be
very hot, and the plant tender, you may shield it from
the mid-day tun by sticking up a broad shingle of
stave on the south side of it ; but this will not gener
ally be necessary.
This plan will do for Tomatoes, Cabbages Eg
Plants, Sweet Potatoes, or any other plants; and (f
properly and carefully performed and tha plant wa
tered for a few nlghu after re-setting. aot one in fifty
will fail to grow and produce finely. ;
So, Cultivator. '
