Bookstore of Messrs. Gray Ballantyne, on
Saturday last, by " q youth Of respectable con-

GEN. PIEncK ON SLAVERY AGITATION.
In the United States Senate on the 2lst
Of February, 1889, Gen. Pierce presented
an Abolition petition from New Hampshire,
which he accompanied with the following
remarks:
81 do earnestly hope, that every honest
man who has sincerely at heart the best
interests Of the slave and master, may no
longer be governed by blind Zeal and
impulse, but be led to examine this subject,
So full of delicacy and danger in all its
bearings and that when called upon to
lend their names and influence to the
cause Of agitation, they remember that
zoe iue ,tader written Consultation, ,shich
is the panop'y and protection Of The South

THE UPAS TREE OF THE IS'rHMUS.
From the Panama Herald, June l.


Some time since, we saw comments in n
United States paper upon an article taken
from Panama paper. (Which we do not
recoIlect.) stating that man named James
Linn had been found dead under tree on
the Gorsona road and that upon examining
the tree. the natives pronounced it highly
poisonous. producing death to any one who
should sleep under it.
Riding out upon the ''Plains." few
miles from the city, with friend. we had
the fortune to have several Of these trees
pointed out to US. As far around each as
its branches extended. the grass was dead
the ground almost bare, whilst all be-
you'd it was fresh and green. Each tree
seemed to form circle around it, by the
appearance presented by the dead and live
grass. They were all alike in this respect
and the trees all Of the same appearance
and character. Occasionally the skull OF
a dead mule or animal were to be found
lying either directly under the tree or near
by. indicating the effects of ITS deadly
poison. Anxious as we felt to procure
branch, and bring it to the city. that its
fluids might be subjected to chemical ana
lysis we we're deferred by the threatening
appearance they presented.
