FRoM THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION. Lieut.. +. j.
Thomas, third United States artillery, arrived at
New Orleans, on the 18th instant, from Santa Fe,
by way Of Ell Paso, Chihuahua, and Monterey.
Lieut.. Thomas received letter from member Of
the boundary commission, dated after he left FL
Paso. The following 10 an extract: .aA
"Thc commissioners (jointly) have fixed the
starting point. We have secured the copper mnes
and large tract OF country on the ella, which we
did not expect. Col Craig starts for the copper
mines on the 10th january, TO establish post"
We have already stated that the commissioners
have agreed that the starting point shall be at the
intersection Of the 32d parallel of latitude with the
Rio Grande, which is about eighteen miles north
Of FL Paso. The Galveston Nss0s says:
From this point the treaty provides that the line
ella, and thence follow that stream TO its juncture
strike the ella, or any of its branches il is then to
proceed west till ii approaches the nearest point TO
tho ella, from which point the boundary IL then to
run due north to the ella.
1t ID now ascertained that the only branch of the
ella the western line strike connects with the
ella scmc fifty or one hundred miles west of the
copper and gold mines, and runs in a northwesterly
direction, leaving the mineral region considerably
within the United States.
1t 70 yet doubtful whether this west line will oven
strike this branch OF the ella at all, in which case
il will have to little beyond the meridian Of
one hundred and nine degrees west, which il the
nearest point to the main body of the ella, being
about one hundred miles to the south. This bounda.

OF New Mexico, as understood by the Mexcans and
takes in large portion Of country that has always
belonged to the State of Chihuahua.

Jay Bradley, man of liberal education, q Greek
scholar, and formerly an editor Of paper died in
Boston Jail on Thursday, where he had been con-
fined for week past for debt. He was in the last
stage of consumption when sent to Jail, and could
scarcely get up the steps for weakness. The cred
itor peremporily refused to release him unless the
money was paid. Deceased had certain rights in
property that were not available at the present

WALNUT LEAVES IN THE TREAT
MENr OF DISEASE.

Dr.. Nesrier, physician at Anglers,
France. has published a statement Of his
success in the treatment of scrofulous dis
ease. in different firms. by preparations Of
walnut leaves. He has tried the walnut
leaves for ten years. and out of56 patients,
afflicted in different forms, 81 were COM
pleteIy cured, and there were only four
who appeared to have obtain ed no advan-
tage.
The infusions Of the walnut tree leaves
are made by cutting them aud infusins
about good pinch between the thumb and
fore finger. in half a pint Of boiling water,
and then sweetening it with sugar. To a
grown person NJ. Negrier prescribed from
two to three tea cups full If this daily.
This medicine is slightly aromatic bitter.

have caused any unpleasant effects. 1t

digestion. and 10 the functions imparts
much energy. 1t is supposed to act upon
the lymphatlc system, as under its influ-
ence the muscles become firm, and the skin
acquires ruddier hue. Dry leaves may
be used throughout the winter, but a syrup
made OF the green leaves is more aromatic.

leaves mixed along With clean lard. and a
few drops Of the OIL Of bergamot is most ex-

the leaves is excellent for washing them.
The salutary effects Of this medicine do
not appear on a su,den-no visible effect
may be noticed for 20 days. but persever-
ence in it. says NJ. Nesrier will certainly
effect a cure.
AS waInut-tree leaves are plenty and
cheap enough in America. and as the ex-
tract Of them Is in no way dangerous nor
unpleasant to use; and as scrofula cases
are not uncommon. trial of this siMpl
medicine should be made. In directing
attention to it, good results may be expect
ed. 1t is our opinion that every country
has within its own borders those medi-
cines best suited to the wants Of its inhal.-

medicines are, should engage the attention
Of our ply sicians.
