DEATH FROM EATING THE MAGNOLIA LEAVES
The George Collier, on her way up, had on board
a small number of German emigrants, taken
from ship in New Orleans, all healthy and in
good order. Shortly after the boat left for this
| city, she had occasion to stop and take on wood
OF some point on the coast, and as soon as the
boat made landing, the Germans all went on
| shore aud while there ga hered large quantities
| of the leaves and flowers from the magnolia
trees which they took on board boiled and ate,
from the effects of which one man died and four
others came near dying They had mistaken
the leaves of the magnolia for cabbages, sup
posing that in this fertile country, cabbage
grew wild and from sixty to seventy feet high
as does the magnolia on the coast The leaves
of the magnolia very much resemble those of
cabbage, but are poisonous. [St. Louis Repub-

one arm across her mothers breast pail
which had been leaned against the wall by the
side door, was torn into q thousand pieces, Mrs
