A Medicinal Tree.

A writer from Paris says, there is a palm tree Tn South America, Pdpaya cdri na. which posseeses very remarkable pror. critics. It's sap isa very powerful digestive agent. Digestion Is a very complex act Meat is dfgestcd in the stomach; feruIas, already modified by the saliva, achieve their transformation in inc ntestines, while fatty matters are only digested in the intestine. Hence, the explanation why some persons can digest meats and eggs without difficulty. while their stom- achs are rebellious to ftculent and fatty substances. Individuals on the other hand, who cannot eat veal, can partake of fatty preparations and pastry without in- convenience. Thus each organ has Its role. and on their state of health depends the integrity of digestion. Inhabitants Of cities suffer most from dyspepsia, that is, from an alteration of the digestive fer ment. IL is to this latter class of sufferers that Messrs. Wurtz x Bouchut have h. vestigatcd the action of ;he Papaya. The latter gentleman has cxperimcnted with the preparation since two years. and with The Panaya is more generally known in America as the mellon tree;" the fruit is rose coIored, sweet. and is eaten ike an ordinary melon; The trunk and the velns of the leaves contain bitter, milky sap or juice. which after a short exposure to 10 ihe air. rInits an odor resembling rot ten cabbage. The sap cxudes when an inciSion is made m the trunk: it immedia. tely coagulat-s, and separates into two parts, a more or less souble pt.lp, and :. limpid colorless serum Now if this juice in its natural state be placed .a contact with raw meat. fibrine, the .sl,itc of eggs or gluten, it will sOf' n these substances in few minutee, and in some hours dis solve thetu at a temperature of 40 degrees ccntigrade. Milk is rapidly coacyiafed by inc juice, and its cascine c-eeipitaied and dissolved. False membranes from erour, and intestinal parasites. as tape. worms etc, arc similarly disoosed of In few hours. If beefsteak bsacsit I'D iH morsels, placed in a satieer containing some pnpaya juieee eets'ey, vii be seea so gradually disaPpesr, to met away a- if they were Jumps of sugar Clearly. the psaaya contains afsru4zn resembling that peculiar to carstvorous plants. as the drosera. z.sperilies. etc. Vegetable pels<in is not sxactIya novelty, but that 5n the sap of the papaya is stronger than ] what is eeereted by the stomach. and I,os. sesses this superiority, that it can dissolve nitrogenous matters not only in the pres cnce of d small quantity of acid, but even in neutral medium, or one slightly aka. line. While weak digestions have reason to rejoice, it is not less important to bear in mind the efficacy of the preparation in the treatment of croup and of tape worm.

Mr. Seabrook offered n memorial to the Con-
gress of the United States, in relation to rail
road tariffs; follows:
Whereas Doubts have arisen whether the
Legislature of the State of Mississippi can con-
stltutlonally enact a law regulating the tariffs
on Interstate railroads, and the treights on
navi gable streams in this State; and
Whereas, Unjust discrimination is made on
all railroads in this State, as well as by steam
ers and other water crafts, on said navigable
streams, respecting tariff and freight rates in
favor OF different localities along said roads
and streams; and
Whereas, Gross injustice is thus done to per-
sons passing freight over said roads and
streams, by leaving them to the mercy of
large and powerful corporated monopolies
without any means of resisting their extor-
tiOnate and unj ust demands; therefore
Be it resolved, by the House of Representa-
uves, the Senate concurring therein, That we
the representatives of the people of the State
OF Mississippi, do solemnly memorabilia the
Congress of the United States to provide, by
appropriate legislation. some adequate means
OF restraining such unjust discrimination by
the passage of a general law regulating the
tariff and freight rates on all railroads and
Havigable streams in the United States
The memorial was adopted by a vote of 62

the unity of feeling between the races in this
House, and look upon the same as a favorable
omen for the peace, quiet and good order of
the State in the future.

which he has discharged his duty.

RAILWAY TARIFF.
MINORITY REPORT.

Mr. SPEAKER: The undersigned members
of your Committee Railroads do not con-
cur with the majority in their adverse report
on Senate Bill No. 90 for the following rea-
sons:
First. We do not believe that the cases cited
in said report are parallel or that the decision
of the Courts relied upon and referred 20 by
the majority are applicable to the case under
consideration, and hence not y criterion as TO
what the Courts would determine in regard to
the cOnst, tutionality of this bill.
Secondly. We believe that the objection
urged against this bill, that tits an illegal in
reference with the chartered rights of Rail
road Companies, is not well taken; for we
think that corporations enjoying the priv
ileges that the Railroads do. by reason Of their
original charters, and other legislation In
their behalf, should at least be so far subject
to legislative control as TO enable the Legis-
lature acting for the people Of the whole State
to protect them from such determinations as
in some cases render Railroads curse rather
than a blessing.
Thirdly. And whereas. we know that the
citizens of this State have been and are yet
being charged exOrbitaut and unjust rates
and tolls by the Railroads throughout the
State; and that there are unjust dscrimina-
tiOns against the people Of certain localities
and
WHEREAS, This is a question: that has, and
is likely to agitate the public bid and be
source of trouble and contemiou until the
people are relieved, or until they find that re-
lief is impossible; and
WHEREAS, the legal anI constitutional
questions involved in this controversy be-
tween the people and the Railroads, are ques-
tons about which the most learned LAWYERS
and judges differ in opinion we therefore
think il he Imperative duty of this Legisla-
ture to pass such a bill will do justice TO
the railroads, and ut the same time grant the
relief prayed for by the people, so that the
matter may, if necessary, be brought before
the Courts of the State, and receive a judicial
construction by our own Courts, and let its
be tested aud in our opin-
ion this bill has been well matured that IL may
at least give fair opportunity to TEST and
settle this vexed question.
Respectfully submitted,
