ANOTHER BoURBoN.-A writer in one
of the magazines, emulous of the fame
acquired by the inventor of the Indian
Dauphin Williams, starts the story that
the real Louis Napoleon died in fit, in
a drinking house in New York, some
years since, and that a Yankee named
Bowen, who had long been his compan-
ion in dissipation, assumed his name,
sailed Immediately for Europe, attended
Queen Hortense in her dying moments,
imposed upon the French people as a
genuine Bonaparte, and finally succeed
ed to the imperial throne.

SrRYcHNINE.-This poison, which

It is wbitish crystalline substance.
and is extracted from the nut of a tree
called nur oomica. This tree grows in
Ceylon, is of moderate size, and has
thick, shining leaves, with short,
crooked stem. Ia the fruit season it is
readily recognized by its rich. orange
colored berries, about as large as golden
pippins. The rind is smooth and hard,
and contains white pulp, of which ma
ny varieties of birds are very fond :,
within this are fat, round seeds, not an
inch in diameter, covered with very
beautiful silky hairs, and of an ash gray
color. The nut is the deadl Y poison,
which was we'll known, and its medicin-
al properties well understood by Orien-
tai doctors long before Europe or Amer

fish scale are TRANSACTIONS of two of
its Arabic names
The natives of Hindostan often eat it
for months, and it becomes a habit, like
opium eating, with the same disastrous
results. They commence with the ia
king the eighth of nut day, and
gradually increase their allowance 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. The chemical
tests for it are numerous, but only one
or two can be relied upon as thoroughly
accurate.

ENCOURAGING PREDICTIoN.-The
following hopeful prediction was made
by Senator Seward in speech on the
treasury note bill
ain my judgment, the acceleration of
business is going to be rapid just in pro-
portion to the rapidity with which bust
ness has declined and | expect to see
every day, and every hour of every day,
marked by rise in he prosperity of the
country, graduated just exactly by the
suddenness of the depression. The
causes of the disaster are gone. think
there is nothing before us but a great
revival of business and plethora of mo-
ney to revive it in all departments. I
may be mistaken in this, but l am will
