The Brisbane (Australa) Courier
publishes the following official telegram
from Mr.. Walker Hill, the Government
botanist, dated from Cardwell, and re-
ceived by the Queensland Secretary for
Lands Since the 20th of November
we have examined the banks of the Mul-
grave, Russell, Mossman, Daintree and
Hull rivers and have been more or less
successful in finding suitable land for
sugar and other tropical and semi-tropi-
cal productions. The ascent of the
summit of Bellenden Kerr was success
fully made by Johnstonc, Hill ana eight
troopers. at $500 feet in height we
observe an undescribed tree with Grim
son flowers, which excels the Poinciana
regia, Colvillia racemusa, Lagersstroma
rega, and the Jacaranda mimosifolia; !;
at 4 400 feet tree fern, which will ex-
Gel in grandeur all others of the Albo-
reous class palm tree at the same
height which will rival any OF the Brit
ish-lndla species i'll gracefuIness. On
the banks of the Daintree we saw Il
palm tree cocoa, which far exceeds the
unique specimen in the garden of the
same genera from Brazil in grandeur
and gracefulness. While cutting a
given line on the banks of the River
Johnstone, for the purpose of examining
the land, an enormous fig tree stood in
the way, far exceeding in stoutness and
grandeur the renowned forest giants of
California and Victoria. Three feet
from the ground it measured $50 feet in
circumference at 55 feet, where it sent
forth giant branches, the stem was
nearly so feet in circumference.

book. He seized the volume and veri-
fed his suspicion. The innocent note
that he had written was actually trans
formed, by the simple process of reading
it with the wrong column as Il key, into the
incoherent hlt obviously impolite letter
which had wrought such unhappy conse-
quences.
Pennington sank into his chair utter
lv overwhelmed. He called himself all
the choice names that old Morris had
applied to him, together with a large
selection of other epithots. He spent an
hour in this profitable occupation. At
the end of that time he had formed n
resolution which he proceeded to put
into immediate execution.
He rose up, and, going to his trunk,
took out his secret society emblems and
solemnly threw them in the CRATE. He
next sat down and wrote twelve separate
designations for twelve different lodges.
Then he wrote a solemn pledge never,
to the day of his death, to meddle with
cipher or any other mystery, and finally,
writing out a full history of the cipher
letter, sent it, together with the book
which he had used as key, his pledge
to solemnly abstain from mysteries, and
an humble apology, to old Morris.
OF course his explanation was accept
ed and Mary forgave him. Several years
have passed since that event, but if you
wish to make Pennington Smythe blush
with wretchedness, all that is necessary
is to ask of him if he knows of any
good, trustworthy cipher.

The Early Crop of congressman.

Candidates for Congress are coming
out with the flics-and about as numer-
ous. it isn't 50 true as it used to be,
i'll politics, that the early bird catches
the worm. The people are doing more
thinking about these things than they
once did, and result of the thinking
is that they are doing more than they
once did in the way OF selecting their
own public servants. Perhaps aspirants
may infer something to their advantage
from this observation. We don't pre-
sume that all the names that have been
mentioned have been given prominence
through the efforts OF the parties thus
brought before scrutinizing public !;
but we presume most of them are like
Barkis, which is not saying that there
are not very good Barkises. The self
will of the people, however, will assert
itself, and We hope the prevailing indie
pendence of the present time may in
no case, through indiscretion, lead to
the sacrifice of the best man.-Siour

The DelusiOnS of Drink.

There are men who honestly believe
that alcoholic drink is good for them,
yet there is no one of them who would
touch it except as Il prescribed medi
cine if it were not for its pleasant taste.
The delusion touching it's healthfulness
grows out of the desire to justify an APP
petite which may either be natural on
acquired. IF man likes whisky or
wine he likes to think that it is good
for him, and he will take some pains to
prove that it is so, both to himself and
others Now, alcohol is pure stimll-
liant. There is not so much nutriment
in it as there is in chip. 1t never
added anything to the permanent forces
of life, and never can add anything Its
momentary intensitication of force is a
permanent abstraction of force from the
drinkers capital stock. All artificial
cxcitements bring exhaustion. The
physicians know this, and the simplest
mans reason is quite capable Of com
pretending it. If any man supposes
that daily drink, even i'll small quanti-
tics, is conducive to his ealth, he is
deluded. -,Scri6nCr'S.
