jphishey Root.-Somc time ago, wrote
YOU that there was such a thing in this
country as a "whiskey root; )" you disbclicv-
cd. now take my revenge by sending
you the the specimen. 1t is what the In.
dians call "1Ic-o-ke." 1t grows in South
crn Taxas, on the range of the sand hills
bordering on the Rio Grandc, and in gravel.
sandy soil. The Indians eat it for its exhila-
raing effect on the system, producing pre-
cisely the same as alcoholic drinks. 1t is
sliced, as you would a cucumber, and these
small pieces chewed, and in about the time
as comfortably tight-cock- would "stir
the divinity" within you, this indicates
itself; only its effects arc what I might
term little k-a-v-o-r-t-i-n-g, giving rather
wider scope to Imagination and actions.
1t can be sliced and dried, and in this way
the Indians preserve 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 tho only specimens sent from the State.
l wish you would have these analyzed, and
publish the result.-Ieras Cor. New Or.

Lam1"s IN Uorscs.-My attention was
called to this subject by passing black
smith shop, and seeing horse refuse to sub.
init to the barbarous operations Of having
the iampas, as it is termed, burned out.
Now, Sir, to save the noblcst of animals
from that unnecessary torture, will briefly
State my practical experience. Itfrcuuen,ly
happens that horses are brough to me with
the bars on the palate in Il state of tune
faction, causing an unnatural prominence of
the lower ridges Of the palate. l would
not trouble you on this supposed maladv,
but 1t has called forth nlliction Of great
torture on the animal. Lampas is neither
more nor less than torpidity Of the YES
scls OF the palate, caused by an inilamma.
tory condition Of the germs which frequent
y attend the tcetbing process. In such a
case we ought, instead of burning out, re-
move the cause by lacerating the gums, and
this is seldom called for. 1 find that in
tumcfaction of the mouth, arising from
whatever cause it may, Indicate cooling and
astrlngent washcs-a weak solution of alum
is very good, or al infusion of witch.llazel
Or bayberry bark, will answer the same pur-
pose.
The practice of burning out lampas has
received the seal Of the ancients. but, I
trust. in this age of progrcssions, such an.
cient barbarities will be superseded by prac-
teal science

wise:
A short time since a hiyhwayman under
took to rob Major Jones. lie met Jones III

TO yield. JIiyhwayman then took Jones by

for half IN hour. At the expiration oi
that time Jones caved, and the lishwayman
commenced rining his pockets. The con.
tents amounted to eighteen cents.
"ls that all you've got?"
"l;vcry darncd cent"
"What made you fight so long"
"Didnt want to be exposed. bad enough
to have only eighteen cents; but great
deal worso to have the world know it,"
The highwayman was SO well pleased
