QUIN1NE.-This article of drug now COM
mands three dollars per ounce, and is one of
the most useful in the entire list of manufac-
tured drugs
Recently there has been an effort on the
part of prominent medical and scientific men to
induce Congress to set apart suitable por-
ton of the public domain for the purpose Of
cultivatng and growing the chinchona tree,
from which the useful and almost indispen-
sable article Of quinine is produced. This
tree is a native Of South America, and found
to grow only on the Andes, above what is
termed the cloud line of those high and ma
jestic peaks. and usually in greater quaint 'y
north of the equatorial line; hence for lis
cultivation in the United States the Sierra
Nevada range of mountains in California
have been selected by the parties who urge
the tr al of its cultivation in this country as
being the mountains most closely resembling
in soil and climate the Andes. There can be
no doubt of SUCCESS if the cultivation Of TIE
chinchona tree is properly undertaken and
attended to, as the results Of similar expert
ments by the English Government in the
Himalayas of India fully tests.

SHAKEspRARE's OccupAT1oN GONE. The
Mayor in well known town in Blankshire,
became the patron of the theatre under Mr.
M-y's management in 1850, and gave
an hundred guineas for a box for the season.
This lberality did not arise from any partic-
ular taste for dramatic literature; but he
paid thus handsomely for the box because he
was liberal man, liked going to the play
and his predecessor in Office paid that sum,
and he would not be oudone. He attended
every night, was always pleased aud was
very friendly with the manager. One night
Mr.. Ny made bis appearance in Ham
let, play which the Mayor had never seen;
and in the mad scene Hamlet appeared with
his dress in disorder. The Mayor took Of
fense at the exhibition, and DECLARED to his
wife and family, who were in the box with
him, his conviction that the actor was drunk,
and he would have no such doings if l.e could
help it. So accordingly he went around to
the stage, and waited at the side till the end
Of the scene, when he thus addressed the
tras sedan:
"Mr. Ny, till tonight looked up
on you as a respectable man, and now | see
you are given 10 drink for no sober man
would go before respectable audience with
his shirt front hanging about like that, and
bis stockings hanging down. Why, you
ought to be ashamed of yourself?"
The tragodian, astonished at the Ignorance
Of his patron, said:
"My dear sir, you are quite mistaken, I
assure you. ! only adhere to the authors
Instructions in respect to the dsordered dress,
to show"
"Who wrote this play?" demanded the
Mayor.
"Good gracious" exclaimed Ny, do
you not know Shakespeare wrote it?"
81 can't say that do" replied he; "but
will take care that he writes no more for
this house as long as have anything to do
with it, and 60 you may tell him.

TAKING MERSELF TO PIECES.
A TERRIBLE SCENE IN BRIDAL CHAMBER

Richard, retiring with his new made bride,
(Who seemed SO healthy and SO full of grace,
Fondly regarded her; but deeply sighed
To see her wash the bloom from off her face
"Most women paint" thought phlo-ophic Dick,
AS he impatiently sat upon a chair;
Aad then poor fellow! he turned very sick
To see her take off all her glossy hair.
''Some women are bald-headed, unused our friend
Bearing the sight as well as he was able
But fury will his sufferings never end?
She placed her teeth upon the center table.
She'll eat the less, " thought Rchard-''now
what next %
He ask d himself with a despairing sigh.
He watch d her closely, and was sore perplex'
When she took ont with sudden twist, eye!
Her cotton breastworks followed and false hips
Leave something for me, gentle wife, beg.
These words escaped from Richards trembling
lips,
AS she proceeded to unscrew leg
Thank God! that's all, cried Dick. with bitter
whim,
There's something left, though you have
taken half"
She forthwith cock, ID up her remaining limb,
And from it took an artificial calf.
Hold! sung out Richard in despair and shame,
Shaking from head to foot lest he alarm her
stop where you are--if you keep up the game,
There'll be nothing left Of my sweet qharmer.

A FIGHT1NG WIDOW -Telfair county,
Georgia, boasts of a ady-widow of a Con
federate soldier who is very social in a
small row. A pedagogue living on her land
threatened to walop her recently and pretty
soon thereafter attempted to carry out his
threat. He was the worst fooled man in the
Union. The widow knocked him down and
walked all over him; then she set him up on
his feet and .erked him out of his socks then
she snatched him baldheaded, and finally
wound up the ceremony by padding him
with board until he had the Mysteries.
