The Mosuult Tree.


A Texas paper contains the following interest
ing account of the tree concerning which so
much has been said as alfording gum which 1t
is thought will prove excellent substitute for
gum arabic, and the getting of which it is be-
lieved will ere long, prove profitable employ
ment for the Indians OF the West.
s.This is very abundant timber in many por-
tons of Western Texas, possessing some re
markable and valuable properties. 1t deserves
attention Although very compact and heavy
wood and generally free from rot, yet the centre
portion is generally shivered in circles often as
near as two or three inches of the surface. 1t
splits with remarkable accuracy through the
centre, and, although a scrubby low growth, its
great durability renders II valuable for posts and
fencing material. A considerable amount of
timber may be procured from it, and for furniture
there is scarcely any wood superior to 1t. 1t
takes a beautiful smooth polish, never shrinks,
although put together green The color IS at
first a bright brown, and with age assumes a
lighter bright brown. Perhaps no wood yields
greater heat than this when seasoned. The sap
portion is very thin, often not more than one
fourth of an inch thick. If the tree is hacked IN
the months of June or July, gum issues IN con-
siderable quantities, and hardens from the action
I Of a-e having all the properties of gum
arabic. The decayed wood by being burnt un-
der cover yields large amount OF benzolc acid
The burning of this wood IN stoves Is very dcs-

ly corroded both by the heat of the CRATE and
acid vapor of the burning fuel. To the soap
maker it furnishes material of Importance.
The ashes. instead of containing potash, as most
hard woods do, are carbonic acid and soda com
bined; and by putting say peck, and half a
bushel would do no damage, of fresh burnt quick
lime to the barrel of ashes, it will yield caustlc
soda lye that will make the very best soap. Cattle
are very fond of the ashes, as they lick them uI
whenever a tree is burnt upon the prairies.-
Another use. it is probable, could be made of the
ashes, which is to scatter say halfa bushel through
each load of corn as it is housed to destroy the
weavil. 1t would certainly do no mischief anC
would improve the shucks. As a fertilizer ther,
is doubt it would give valuable results upoI
worn-out soils, but it is not probable that th'
application will be made for many years, for tn,
soil upon which the mosquit grows is invariably
fertile and of great depth. This tree belongs t'
the family of acacias."

gold spectacles. and 81 in money, which was
stolen from the state room which she occupied
while passenger from New Orleans to Bayou
Sara The state room was properly fastened,
but was entered by some person, who stole the
articles in question
In giving the decision, the Court did not con-
slider it necessary to enquire whether the thief
was connected with the boat stranger. The
fact that some person entered the ladies' cabin on
a feloneous errand, exhibited want Of that are
and watchfulness which should always be OBJ
served in the police regulations of every boat
engaged in the transportation of passensers.-
The Court accordingly held that the boat was
responsible, and gave judgement fer the amount
claimed.
