THE following on strychlne, is taken
from "Household words" :-"ln Ceylon,
and several districts of India, grows a
moderate-sized tree with thick shining
leaves, and short crooked stem. In
the fruit season, it is readily recognized
bv it's rich orange -colored berries, about
as large as golden pippirs, the favorite
food fmany kinds of birds, within which
are the fat round seeds, not an inch in
diameter, sh-grey in color, and covered
with very minute silky hairs, The
Germans fancy they can discover a re-
semhlance in them to grey eyes a1id
call them crows eyes, but the likeness
IS purely imaginary. The tree is the
strychnos nux vomica, and the seed is
the deadly poison nut. The latter was
early used as medicine by the Hin
docs, and its nature and properties un-
derstood by Oriental doctors long be-
fore it was known to foreign nations.
Dog killer and fish scale are two of its
Arabic names. 1t is stated that at pre-
sent the natives of Hindoostan often
take it for many months continuously,
inmuch the some way as an opium eat
er eats opium They commence with
taking the eighth part of nut day.
ard gradually increase their allowance
70 an entire nut, which would be about
twenty grains. If they eat it directly
before or after food, no unpleasant eff
sets are produced; but if they neglect
this precaution, spasms result.

The st. 10. papers are already anticipa-
ting another mighty rush Of gold hunters to
the Peak. We suppose thousands of people
are only waiting to be perfectly sure that
Greeley's statement is authentic. When they
are sure OF that, of they will 60, paying lit
tie heed to his earnest advice and remon-
ssrances. How powerful is the greed of
gsinP How strong the passion for sudden
wealthp Greeley's statement itself shows
that trip to the Peak at this season is worse
than wild goose chase, unless one starts
out with small fortune--and not so very
small either. And yet the remote chance
the one chance in ten thousand--that $500
may be picked up in day, will allure thous-
ands and thousands of adventurers. And
We fear We may anticipate a renewal Of the
horrible scenes Of suffering and crime through
which We have just passed.

State, where high winds and flying clouds Of

the growth Of the entire beard is found to be
