An African Production that Erips With
Poisonous Moisture.
Everywhere the manchineel has the
unenviab bic reputation of being a most
dangerous tree, in the shade of which
it is never safe to rest. This evil repu-
tation has its origin in the poisonous
qualities of the sap and fruit of tree
OF this kind found in Africa-ths
arborescent eupncrbia. This tree has
a magnificent but most peculiar APP
pearance, and the thickness of its
foliage, which wholly excludes the
sun, seems to invite the traveller to
rest beneath its branches.
The negroes have a way Of taking
advantage of the delightfully."- cool
shade, and at the same time avoiding
the danger from the poisonous drop.

matched roof below the lowest
branches, and then repose in peace and
security.

says, Il asked one of the negroes who
stood near me, to GO and seat himself
under great euphorbia which stood
in the foreground. At first he hesitat-

yield, but not without raising his eyes
many times IN apprehension toward
the branches of the tree.

break off a branch-which / brough,

seeing me approach, fed in terror from
the shade of the deadly tree, gesticu-

language which / could not compre-

me understand that in touching the

''But the thing was done, and the

have imagined from what / knew OF
these plants in other countries-cover-

negroes expressed their fear. They

The Elko Independent says: at

Major Wooten but, be it as fair as an

know that his appointment was an in
suit to the people of this State and a
direct violation of the platform on which
Grover Cleseland was elected President
of the United States.
If Senator Gray of Delaware, had to
provide a place for Major Wooten, he
should have given him a position in his
own State and not inflicted him upon
the long suffering people of Nevada.

tasteful to us as the thieving ones OF
the South were to the Southern people
during the recon,truction period"

ents. We object to the principle and
think it incorrect and unjust. Major
Wooten as a representative of the car
