ABSENCE OF MIND. The latest in.
stances of absence of the mind on rec
ord we have before us. Tho first is
the story Of the teacher who entered
the recitation room on the day of tho
public examination, with hit in hand,
walked lire,;ly ap to the stove, OPEN
ed the door, picked up a stick of wood
put his hat 10 the stove. shut tho door
laid the stick fwood on tbs table and
took his seat perfectly bewillered and
astonished at the shouts of the audi
ence. After a time he cody arose,
took tho stick of wool rs if it was his
hat and walked out, shortly after
which something heavy was hoard to
fall on the floor Of the cutry and tho
conclusion was that the unfortunate
teacher had t. cometo.'
And the second is likewse-wilh a
difference. A young lady was comb
ing her hair before mirror. Having
finished, she cleaned both comb and
brush, gathered up the wisps Of hair
aad deposited them carefully iu tho
sink, and then proceeded, with equal
dcliberation, t. empty the basin Of
water upon the glowing coal within

Poisonous Effects of Orange Peel.

Many years ago, says DIR. Gibbons,
two little girls, sisters, four and six
years OF age, were seized with violent
inflammation of the bowels from swai-
lowing the rind of an orange. One
of them died Of convulsious, and the
other bad a narrow escape. Quite
recently, child something over 4
year old was attacked with violent
dysenteric symptoms, for which no
cause could be assigned. The attack
came on during the passage Of the
family on the steamer from San
Diego. The symptoms were idenli-
cal with those which had previously
been not ced to arise from poisoning
by orange peel; and on inquiry, we
were informed that it had been play
ing with an orange, and Bibbling of
it Just before the attack of the dis
ease. The discharges from the bow
els were frequent and painful, and
consisted of blood and mucus At
ter week of severe enteric infla-
nation, the child died.
We have no doubt that the disease
was brought on ty the rind of the or
ange. Though but a small quantity
must have been swallowed, yet very
small quantity Of such an indigesti-
bic aud irritating substance will Of
ten produce the most serious consc-
si,ia,.res. The oil. of tie rind is
highly acrid, and agds greatly 10 the
nOxious quality of the indigestible

practice among children at some of
of our public schools to eat the rind.
and that juvenile merchants have
been known to trade Off tie inside

Tobacco.

in the eighteen tobacco growing
States Of the Union the past vc;n',
was 27377j,0O0 pounds OF this
amount Virginia produced Gj.0O0OD0,

Ohio, 100000; Illinois, 100000; !;
MARYLAND, H,j00,O00 The remainder
was grown By Massachusetts Con-
necticut, New York, New jersey,
Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, West Va.
Tennessee, Indiana, and Michigan,
New Jersey growing the largest
amount of those last mentioned. The
entire crop was estimated tO be equal
in value to So, ,206 ,325. The yield
per acre was larger in Massachusetts,
:han in any other State, being l,200
pounds. In Virginia il was AS
pounds; and in Kentucky Gb!
pounds. The difference in the yield
between the New England States
and The Western and Southern
States, is owing TO the difference in
cultivation; and it shows the West
ern and Southern planter how mach
greater he might make tie amount
Of his crop il he would give it q
higher state of cultivation by a lib

have a great influence on the Eu-
ropean markets. The tea plants is

first harvest takes place towards the

and dried with the greatest care and
ceremony; they are stored up i'm por-
