CARD FROM THE CLAIMANTS AGENT.
The agent Of the claimant, now engaged
in collecting evidence in San Francisco,
says in card which he handed member Of
the Bulletin staff:
al beg to return you thanks for the as
sistance rendered by you personally, which
led to my acquiring knowledge of matters
that might not otherwise have reached me.
Although ! am aware that newspapers have
been subsidized in other countries to write
down the claimant. decline to say anything
in his favor at present and | have TO ex-
press my regret that some journals in this
city usurped the functions of the jury, and
sought to prejudice the minds Of the public
against man whose personal liberty is now
in the balance. / trust may be excused in
saying their doing SO just now) is not war
rantable. The defendants case is before a
tribunal, where have no doubt strict justice
will be the result OF a prolonged investiga-
ton.
Il can not, however, avoid remarking that
although special paid agents OF the prosecu-
ton were in San Francisco for years, it seems
strange that the evidence now available
should not have been forwarded 4; and it was
not until discovered that such was about
being sent on the part of the claimant the
activity of those paid for discharging an i'm
portant duty was aroused, and activity be-
came the order of the day."
AGENTS FOR THE OPPOSITION AT WORK.
The agents of the family of the Duke of
Norfolk, who oppose the claimant, are busily
engaged in cleaning information relative to
the Osprey, which will also be forwarded to
England.
THE LATEST PHASE OF THE QUESTION.
Another examination of the Custom-house
records shows that the Osprey left here for
Java in 1852, and that until 1857 she was
engaged in the Australian trade, sailing more
or less in Australian waters, and several
times visiting Hobart Town, once the home
of the person who claims to be Sir Roger

SHADE TREES.

1t is well-known fact, that trees on
the streets of a city absorb, through their
foliage, n large portion Of the noxious
vapor and gases which are evolved by
the rays Of the sun. The comfort which
we enjoy from their cooling shade, and
the pleasure we receive from their gay
and enlivcning appearance, are not their
only benefits. The air is purer and more
healthfal thereby, and the exhilaration
of the system induced by breathing more
oxygen and carbon, draws our thoughts
to the bright side of nature and things
in general, thus acting as a preventive
against disease that easily preys upon
depressed spirits.
The effects of physical causes npon the
phenomena of mind, and the reactionary
power of mind over health, are necessa-
ry consequences from the unity of mans
nature. 1t is thought that the great and
exceptional healthiness ofCleveland Ohio,
may be at least partially attributable to
the abundance of shade trees, and we
note the fact as an additional induce
ment for all to plant when proper time
comes.

QUICK DIGESTION.

Of all articles of food, boiled rice is
digested in the shortest time-an hour.
As it contains eight tenths nutritious
matter, it is valuable substance for di-
ct. Tripe and pigs feet are digested al
most as rapidly. Apples, ifsweet and
ripe, are next in order. Venison is d.
gested almost as soon as apples. Roast
ed potatoes are digested in half the time
required by the same vegetable boiled,
which occupy more than three hours and
a-half-more than beef or mutton. Bread
occupies three hours and a,quarter;-
stewed oysters and boiled eggs are di-
gested in three hours and a-half-an hour
more than is required by the same arti-
cles raw. Turkey and goose are digest
ed in two hours and a-half-an hour and
a-half sooner than chickens. Rosted veal,
pork and salted beef occupy five hours
and a-half-the longest of all articles of
food.

MILK TREE,

MILK TREE.
In narrative of travels on the ANA
zen and Rio Negro, published some years
ago by Mr.. Wallace, he describes an ex-
traordinary tree, called the milk tree,
(which was one Of the first wonders he
saw near Para. The fruit is eatable and
full ofa rich and very juicy pulp; but
strangest Of all, Is the vegetable milk
which exuds in abundance when the
bark Is cut. II Is of about the consis-
tence ofthick cream, and but for a very
slight peculiar taste, could not he dis
tinguished from the genuine product Of
the COW. The traveller ordered man
to tap some logs that had lain nearly a
month in the yard; he cut several notch
es in the bark with an axe, and in min
ute the rich sap was running out in great
quantities. 1t was collected in basin,
diluted with water, strained and brought
up at tea time and at breakfast next
morning. The peculiar flavor of the
milk seemed rather to improve the quail
ty Of the tea, and gave it as good color
as rich cream. In coffee it is equally
good. The milk is also used for glue,
and it is said to be as durable as that
made use of by carpenters.
