J3$$ima. We learn from an intelligent friend who lias 

 long been afflicted with Ibis most distressing complaint, 

 that the fumes of burning paper, saturated with a solu- 

 tion of saltpetre gives him perfect relief. He keeps a 

 quantity of the paper — which lias been simply soaked in 

 strong saltpetre water, and afterwards dried — constantly 

 an hand, and on the recurrence of a paroacyam i 

 almost instant relief from burning half a sheet or a sheet 

 in his room. Others who have been similarly affected, 

 have tried it with a corresponding benefit. In no < ase 

 has it been known tii fail, 90 far as his information ex- 

 tends. Wedeem the testimi 13 u to .. irrant the 

 publication of the prescription which g< n.iinly lias the 

 merit of simplicity. If it shall pmve generally efficacious 

 its value is beyond price. It can Ik 1 readily tested. —

The Mrial Plant. Tlie burning sands of hot climates. 

 even at Karsfields of the Cape of Good Hope, which are 

 so arid and scorched that no water can be extracted 

 from them, are the media in which the most succulent 

 vegetables of which we have any knowledge, flourish and 

 evolve; so deleterious., indeed, is a wet season to their 

 growth, that they are destroyed by it. There are also 

 various tribes of vegetables that are destitute of roots 

 sjid which can only be supported and nourished by the 

 air, and by the moisture which the atmosphere contains. 

 A large portion of the class Fuci,havenoro6t'whatever; 

 -and it is stated that the /TCrial Epidendron, (the Epiden- 

 tlron Flos rEris.) denominated serial from its extraordi- 

 nary properties, and which is a native of Java, on ac- 

 count of the elegance of its leaves, the beauty of its flow- 

 er, and the exquisite odor which it diffuses, is plucked 

 op by the inhabitants and suspended by a silken cord, 

 from the ceiling of their apartments, from whence it 

 continues from year to year to put forth new leaves, to 

 display new blossoms, and enhale new fragrance, al- 

 though led out of the simple bodies before stated. — Lon-
