WHENCE sTRYcHNINE Is PRO-
DUCED

The source from whence the poison,
which has gained SO world wide a celebrity
recently, is obtained, is thus noticed in
Dickens Household Words:
.In Ceylon and several districts of India,
grows a moderate sized tree. with thick
shining leaves, and a short, crooked stem.
In the fruit season it is readily recognized
by its rich orange colored berries, about as
large as golden pippins. The rind is hard
and smooth, and covers a white, soft pulp.
the favorite food of many kinds of birds,
within which are the fat, round seeds, not
an inch in diameter, as grey in color. and
covered with very silky hairs. The Ger
mans fancy they can discover @ resem-
blance in them to gray eyes and call them
crows eyes, but the likeness is purely i'm
aginary.
The tree is the strycbnine nHr rOmica.
and the nut is the deadly poison nut. The
latter was early used as a medicine by the
Hindoos, and its nature and properties un-
derstood by Oriental doctors long before
it was known to foreign nations. Dog
killer and sFish-scale' are two of It's Arab
ic names. 1t is stated that at present the
natives of Hindostan often take it for many
months constantly, in much the same man
ner as opium-eaters eat opium. They
commence with taking the eighth of a nut
day and gradually increasing their allow
ance to an entire nut, which would be
about twenty grains. If they eat directly
before or after food, no unpleasant effects
are produced but if they neglect this pre-
| caution, spasms result"

GOOD FOR EVIL

Why will not parents more generally
instiii iato the minds of their young ones
the principle of overcoming evil by good !!
How much bitterness, rancor aud strife
would be avoided, did they but urge on
them the propriety and wisdom of either
not noticing an afront. or injury, or else
by kindness and gentleness. showing the
aggressors their error. But too constantly
are children enjoined to give blow for
blow, lest they should be termed cowardly.
True courage is that which can bear and
brave the taunts Of piaymates. rather than
offend loving mother by disobeying her
commands:
Johnny Wilson sat on the stairway, cry
ing as though his young heart would break.
I took him on my lap, and told him to tell
me why he was crying.
BILLY johnson was just above me in the
spelling class. and because / turned him
down he got angry. At noon was flying
my kite on the plain. he came up asking
me to let him fly it. Thinking it would
make US good friends let him, but on pur-
pose he let it 60 into tree and tore it.
Ill be revenged, yes. I'll be revenged!'
do good for evil" said 1.
II will try" came sweetly from Johnny's
lips.
That evening, as Johnny was engaged
in famous game Of ball, Billy came up
and wished to play. but could not, as he
was odd.
"Here. Billy. you can have my place."
said Johnny.
Billy looked at Johnny a moment in
silence. and then said, Johnny, 1 tore
your kite; am sorry;; mine is behind that
tree, it is yours; and after this we shall be
good friends"
That night, as Johnny knelt and said
" Forgive US our trespasses as we forgive
them that trespass against u.s." he felt that
he had forgiven one who had trespassed
against him.

E Nathaniel r. Stinson, editor of the
New York Day Book, was arrested on
Saturday, on complaint of the District
Attorney. who charges him with encourag-
ing illegal gambling. 1t appears that on
the lst instant, an advertisement of q
Georgia lottery appeared in the paper.
and attention was drawn to it editorially,
but strange to say, in the same issue an
editorial article appeared, calling upon the
District Attorney to use strenuous efforts
to suppress gambling, and stating that
Police Justices were no better than State
Prison birds. The District Attorney took
the advice of Mr.. Stinson and promptly
caused his arrest.

WHIsKEY RooT.-Some time ago wrote
you that there was such thing in Texas
as whisky root - you disbelieved; 1 now
take my revenge by sending you the speci-
men, 1t is what the Indians call "Pie-o-
ke." 1t grows in Southern Texas on the
range of sand-hills bordering on the Rio
Grande, and in gravel, sandy soil. The
Indians eat it for its exhilarating effect on
the system. producing precisely the same
as alcoholic drinks. 1t is sliced as you
would a cucumber, and these small pieces
chewed, the juice swallowed, and in about
the same time as comfortably tight cock
tails would .'stir the divinity" within you.
this indicates itself; only its effects are
what might term little more k-a-c-o-r-t-
ing. giving rather a wilder scope to the
ina ginaticn and actions. 1t can be sliced
and dried, and in this way the Indians pre-
serve it, then parch and serve it up as coffee
or tea. 1t is evidently of cactus species,
and it resembles that more than any other
plant I have never seen this particular
root mentioned in any work, and believe
these-and specimens sent to the editor
of the Southern Cultivator-to be the only
specimens sent from the State.

From the YorkyiIle Chronicle.]
HEART RENDING AFFAIR.

At this late time, We stop the press to an
nounce an occurrence, most painful in
character; our particulars are from James
Jefreys, Esq, Magistrate. and Mr. w. NJ.
Kerr, the acting officer. In fit Of anger,
one John Fee, living on Builoch's creek.
in York District, few days since, shot his
mare, some cattle and hogs, and on Sunday
he set fire to his dwelling which was lock
ed, and the key afterwards found on his
person, in which his three motherless chill
dren. aged from five to fourteen years are
supposed to have perisbed.
It seems a Peace Warrant had been is
sued against him on complaint of neigh
Tor; that when the officer went to arrest
him he was seen to be fortified (as it were)
in one of his barns, armed with a gun and
swearing to shoot any who would approach
him. There were sixty or seventy persons
leaving the house when Mr. Kerr arrived,
whom he summoned to accompany him to
the barn, but the cry was "he will shoot
somebody" So, they refused with the ex-
ception of John Hartness, and brother;
VIXEN they got to the barn stratagem had to
be resorted to, which was effectual in Sc
curing him.
The prisoner stated that the children
were at a certain house, which was known
to be incorrect-he then said he had last
seen them at 1.-The Spring." but the pre-
sumption is, that they have perished in the
flames.
The poor apology of ''intemperanee," we
learn, cannot be urged in this instance;
Fee is said to be r,orose man, one not
given to the soft and easy impulses of
nature; an enemy to the world, he became
so to his nearest and dearest kindred. We
forbear comment, as the matter must un-
dergo judicial investigation.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL TRI-
UMPH.-The Lowell News says that some
twenty seven months ago young man
named VIM. X. Foster had the whole of
one elbow joint torn out by an accident.
He was taken to the hospital, where DIR.
Kimball, advised by Drs. Graves and
Dickey. proceeded to saw off the frag-
mentary bones, shortening them some two
and half inches, and then uniting them SO
as to make a new joint and arm. He
moves the joint with perfect ease. though
not quite SO fully as the other, and can.
as he says. hold out twenty-five and half
pounds with the hand at arms length.
The arm is now nearly three and half
inches shorter than the other, and is good
and reliable arm for all the purposes of
labor to which Mr.. Foster is called.

AWFUL SHIPWRECK.-An extraordinary
case of double shipwreck is reported in the
St. Christopher (West India) papers. The
Rosapella left Dominica early in May for
the Spanish Main. On the night of the
l4th of May storm brewed up, heavy
sea struck the vessel and she became a
total wreck. Nothing was saved but a
trunk of money, and with this the Captain
and Supercargo got ashore. They then
purchased a cargo Of sugar. and chartered
the Esther, of Curacao. After embarking
the second time, fearful tornado struck
the schooner and she instantaneously went
down. Twenty-one persons were washed
off, and with great difficulty avoided the
vortex of the sinking vessel. The boat
fortunately got adrift, but the plug was
out. For three hours they madly strug-
gled to stop the hole, and at last it was
done. But meanwhile the sharks had taken
off several of the miserable men. and only
thirteen succeeded in getting into the boat.
They picked up the oars. 1t was quite
dark, and when morning came they saw no
land in any direction. For four days and
three nights the wretched men, without
morsel of food and scarcely vestige of
clothing, labored at the oars, and on tho
morning of the 9th of July. the BOAT reach
ed St. Christopher, ten men being alive,
but all in the last stage of exhaustion.
One died almost Immediately on being car
ried ashore.
