Yesterday a boy aged fifteen, named

the upsetting Of an old dng.out in which
he and two other boys we're riding. The

The Indians Of Peru and Bolivia
are greatly addicted to the use of a
stimulant obtained from the leaves
Of the coca (erythroxylon cocoa,
a shrub idigenous to the country,
and extensively cultivated along the
Amazon. The usual mode of en-
ploying the stimulant is to chew the
dried leaves with a little finely
powdered unslaked lime, or with
the alkaline ashes of certain plants:
yet an infusion Of the coca is some
times taken in preference. Its
effect is narcotic and tonic, and
under its influence great and pro-
tracted exertion can be endured
which would otherwise be impossi-
bic. 1t also renders respiration
easy in the rariied air of high alti-
tudes. The peculiar properties Of
the coca have lately been the subject
Of Investigation among scientific
men, with the view of learning the
ultimate results Of its use upon the
human system. Contrary opinions
have been expressed, based upon the
testimony Of travellers, some of
whom declare it to be, in the end,
most d~eieterious; and others, that
it is, on the whole, most beneficial.
AT a recent meeting of the Edin-
burgh Botanical Society, Sir Robert
Christison read a paper detailing
his experience in the use Of the
coca. He had found the leaf to be
both a preventative of fatigue and
a restorative Of strength after
severe bodily exertion. His first
experiments made with the leaf
were in 1870, Two Of his students
had come home thoroughly tired
out with a sixteen-mile walk. In
stead Of having dinner, they each
took an infusion of two drachms of
coca. Presently all signs of fatigue
vanished, and they promenaded
Princess street for a whole hour
with ease and enjoyment. On re-
turning home they ate an excellent
dinner, felt light throughout the
evening, slept well and got up re-
freshed and active next morning.
Similar results were obtained in she
case Of other students, some of
whom had done a 30-mile walk; and
Sir Robert has also made expert
ments upon himself with q coca
leaf Of an equally successful and
comfortable nature"

The Game Law,

A great deal has been said about the
game law that was enacted by our late
legislature, aud q few of both white aud
black have expressed themselves as be
ing dissatisfied with it, and contend that
it deprives them not only of QUE of their
pleasures, but of one Of their privileges,
and hat it was passed for the benefit Of
a few individuals, meaning those VIII.
live in town and hunt in the fell of the
year with settlers, Such notions as these
are perfectly absurd, for any sensible
