wonderful accounts of the Upas tree. In
the location where this modern Upas tree
was discovered there is constant and
dense collection of carbonic acid gas con-

by breathing this poisonous gas. The
cause of such an abundance of gas being
collected in the locality of thes trees is
unknown.

his limbs and body swollen, and death soon
followed. Cattle avoid eating or rumlnating

The New French Empress.

A correspondent OF the N. 7. Post give:
the following account of the antecedents o.
the lady who has so suddenly been elevated
to the dignity of consort of Napoleon III.
"a worthy Scotchman, by the name ol
William Kirkpatrick, was for some time
the American consul at Malaga, and, fail.
ing in business. was succeeded by George
C. Barrel as United States consul at Mala-
ga. This was, I think, under President
Monroe's administration" n."
MIR. Kirkpairick's eldest daughter Maria,
or ":Mariquita, as she was familiarly call
ed and known by all Americans there, was
very fine, dashing lady, and married the
Count de Teba, younger brother of the
celebrated Palafoix, who behaved so gal
lantly at the seige of ZaragoEa, and who in
reply to demand Of surrender, declared
he would continue the defence by "War to
the knife" The Palafojx family embraced
numerous titles, and was singularly brave
and noble. This husband OF Maria Kirk
patrick Count de Teba) was gallant SOL
der, and so cut up by wounds as to be un-
able to mount his horse without aid, and
when in the saddle looked more as if he
was hooked on than seated there.
The new Empress of the French is no
doubt the daughter of this Countess Teba,
"Mariquita Kirkpatrick" who was the
daughter of William Kirkpatrick, late UNI
ted States consul at Malaga-=not British
consul-not Fitzpatrick-and not Irish.
Ifthe new Empress Of France was Count
ess Teba, as stated, then her mother is
dead, as also is her father, and she took the
title of her mother. The name Montego,
under which she passed in Paris, is perh APPS
one of the family names or titles Of the Pala-
folk family"
On the 23rd of January Napoleon address
ed long and able document to his officers
of state, in which he informs them formal
ly Of his intention to marry Mmlle Eugeni
Montego. He says he conforms to the
wish ofthe Nation in marrying, but in the
selection of partner he casts away old
political traditions. Royal alliances sub
stitute family for national interests, and be-
sides it was humiiating to 90 begging for a
wife of royal blood. For 70 years past for
eign Princesses had ascended the French
throne only 10 De unhappy WIN the eAceP-
ton Of Josephine, and she was not of a
royal family. He sneers at Austria for
Jumping at an alliance with Napoleon, and
sarcastically altudes to the long chase of
the sons of Louis Philkppe after wives
He instances the circumstance of Louis
Philippe taking for wife the Duchess OF
Orleans, Princess of the third rank, and
for himself he says he does not want any
monarch's alliance. He admits that he is
Par7enue, but Parxenue elected by a
great nation and therefore determined to
select a wife to please himself. Being more
free therefore, he will not be the less
strong. He says the lady is Catholic,
and endowed with every virtue, and be will
soon at Notre Dame present heE to the Peo-
pie and the army.
