Vegetable Ivory.

The Colonies and India furnishes
some interesting particulars re.
spccting the so called vegetable
ivory" which is now SO much used
us n substitute for ivory. Tho
vegctablc-ivory-nut is the produce
Of a species Of palm found wild In
South America and Africa. In
side the hard shell is the white
kernel, which being softcr than
ivory and easily carved. as well as
readily dyed, and being less brittle
than bose, is largely used IN
making buttons, &C. The nnripc
nut consists Of q green shell, con.
tanning o watcry anid, which, as
the nut ripes, gradually thickcns
until 1t becomes pulpy mass. and
eventually hardens into solid mat.
ter. Thc water, though bitter to
the taste, is wholesome, and often
renders invaluable services to
travellers, who cannot otherwise
obtain water to drink. Tho tree
(Phytclcphas macrocarpa) on
which the fruit grows is unlike an
ordinary palm, having little or no
stem and dropping downward, es'
pccially when the weak branches
are ovcrwciyhtcd by the six OF
seven punches of nuts, each con-
tanning six or seven seeds, incloscd
IN thick heavy shells and outer
sheath, and weighing altogether
from 2Oto "a pounds. Mature.

Some two weeks since Mr..
Frank Leatherman while Oh Bayou
Sara about eight miles from town
observed q portion oftho remains
of some animal imbedded IN the
bluc clay which forms the second
bank Of the creek. The action of
water had washed away the soil
and some six or eight feet below
the surface, the clay was reached.
Mr.. VIM. Ash, upon seeing a tooth
Of the animal that Mr.. L. had pick
up, determined TO have a look at
the jaw-bone to which 1t had been
attached, If possible, and with the
necessary tools, proceeded to dig
up such portions Of the skeleton
a. he could find. He succeeded In
unearthing portion OF the lower
jaw, about four feet long, with
several large teeth attached, also
the bones Of a fore foot, perfectly
articulated and connected with the
bones Of the leg. The span Of the
bones was more than two feet In
diameter. He also unearthed the
axis aud atlas bones IN o fine state
Of ofpreservstion. These latter may
be seen at Robinson 4 Wctherill's
drug-storcs
Also varsous ribs, aud one Of the
fore-leSs which was about eight
feet long. One Of the teeth
though not whole weighed six and
a half lbs. Many remains Of these
monster pschyderems have been
found IN that portion Of the county
One Of great size was found on
Hooks Greek many years since.

Gentlemen: Your letter Of The
18th of June was handed me, just
before leaving home, by Gen.
West, with the request that |
would reply to it. Having con-
sentcd to address the people upon
the political situation and issuea
of the day at the request a. our
frletids, We cannot consent to di-
vide time allotted for speaking at
our several appointments With
others. We might add that we
can see no particular good to the
cause which would likely result
from controversy among those who
are of our opinion upon the pend
Ing financial question however
much they may differ as TO the
speediest means Of accomplishing
the object in view.
Very respectfully yours &c.'

Of Gen. Vests speech at Brandon

Right here is where We and oil
other Democrats differ with Gen.

DISCLAIMER NO. I.


Editor Picavunc:
A brief space in your columns is
solicited for the following disclaim-
crs:
First, that l ever said, a. some
Of the city papers have il, "that
hybernated germs would mot pro-
duce an epidemic Of yellow fever"
! never in my life gave. utterance
to such an opinion. What l did
say was that many of the best ply
sicians who had ever lived in New
Orleans held to the belief that
those cases Of yellow fever which
were supposed to originate here
were incapable Of producing cpl
denies. 1then added that at least
one notable example was on record
showing that the Information of
the cause Of yellow fever did not
deprive it Of the power OF produ-
cling very fatal and sweeping epi-
demic. This example was The
town Of Canton, Mississippi, in.
fected from bedding packed away
in boxes IN the town Of vicksburY
ID the Fall of 1854, and opened in
the town of Canton in June, 1855.
DISCLAIMER sECONL.
I have never professed to have
any special inf0rmation concern
ing the individual characteristics
Of yellow fever germs, whether
hybernatcd or freshly imported.
On this point | have supposed that
it was the province OF good sense
that tho result of either class
would bc yellow fcver or no dis.
ease at all; just as ono should cx-
pcct the grain Of oats taken from
last years harvest, and tho grain
of the same cereal taken from the
wrappings Of the Egyptian num-
my, would each one produce oats,
il it grew at oil.

ONE WEEK IN WALL srReE1.

October 14tb, 1878, it sold at SO. "a, u
fiuctuation of 9.3-S per cent. in seven
days; II, 500 shares sold on n margin OF
one per cent. required an actual capital
Of S12, 500. The same stock delivered
at 96.3-4 gave q profit of 9.3.S per cent.
on livestock or 1887. 60per 1o0shares. On
the whole II 500 the actual profit was
SLY, 1s7. so or 9.3S times the capital
used, in one week. This is a single
case taken from the official record Of
the Stock Exchange, and shows how
money is made SO rapidly in stocks.
Few people, however, have the neces-
sary cash to put up In order to realize
such immense profits rs these, but cap
ital in any amount from SO to $50, 600
can be used with equal success by the
new combination system of operating
in stocks which Messrs. Lawrence &
Co., Bankers, N. Y. have established.
BY this method of pooling thousands of
orders in various sums and operating
them as one immense capital, share
holders realize large profits divided pro

ate probably. Stocks and Bonds want

What a Girl Did.

While a Boston young oma was
recently witnessing the practice of a
Rossville Staten Islandl rife club, she
said she could surpass the best shoot
ing Of the day. A rife was given her,
and she did this by making 20 in a pos
sible Is, off hand at 200 yards. Suisse
quently, while practioing with a Sring-
field rifle weighing II pounds and 70
grains, with a 7-pound trigger and a
recoil of 70 pounds, out of a possible IS
she made % points. At its next regu-
lar meeting she WAS elected an honorary
member of the club. Experienced
marksmen consider 1t something of q
feat to kill q gull sitting upon the wa
ter, but this young woman bagged four
of the birds with her rifle while spend
ing a few weeks at the seaside last
summer.

building the projected Darien canal,
seems like a ''dog in the manger poll
cy." If the canal be built. the foreign
powers, whose money is invested, will
see to 1t that the region of country
through which it passes is not troubled
with instructions and revolutions.
But then that duty involves perpetual
occupation of the district, and in a lit
tie while, European nations will con
troll 1t more completely than they dc
Egypt. This would never do at all on
the American continent. Still the diff
iculty might be arranged by establish
ing q free IONS on the isthmus.
