[From The Sunny South.] 2’oisoiihig by Peach Ket-nels. BY E. M. PENDLETON. The recent poisoning of a wedding party at Dalton, by eating custard fli voted with peaedi kernels, has caused us to send you the following scientific facts: Peach kernels naturally are nut poisonous, but may become so under the action of heat, either in the animal stomach or during processes of cooking. They contain, in common with the bark, leaves and kernels of cherries and bit ter almond, and some other members o‘ the family Rosace as, two substances known in chemistry as amygdalin and synnpfasc. Rv digesting peach kernels in water forsevera! hours at an increased temperature (1000 degrees Farenheit or more), the latter principles acting as ■i ferment on the former (benzoic aldehyde). This oil contains a large per cent, of prussic acid, the most dead ly poison in nature, When freshly pre pared, a single drop placed upon the tongue of a eat or small animal will produce instant dentil. AHhbugh n> 1 '"• * m-duTne in ex treme dilution, it sometimes produces death, as in the case of the lamented Dr. Raker, of Macon, who took an over dose through mi- take to encourage bis patient to take it. The first symptoms arc headache, giddiness and nervous irritability, followed by drowsiness, blindness an 1 faiutness. It is a sedative p ison, lienee ]. ost~ mortem examinations exhibit no abra. sions of the stomach, and of no other organs, only congestion of the brain, which is produced by other diseases in articvlo mortis. Unfortunately for the cause of justice and humanity, chemi cal science can throw but little light on i the investigati n of poisoning in such cases, as the smallness of the amount capable of producing death, and its dis position soon to be resolved into other substances, prevents its detection by the most sub'le analysis. The remedies are chlorine ammonia, artificial respiration and cold affusion. Where a physician is not at hand large doses of hartshorn may keep up the flagging energies of life. We tinders! nd that it is very fash ionable for ladies to use peach kernels lor flavoring custards and preserves. — There is much more risk attending tli former than the latter, as custards are eaten at once, before the prussic acid has been dissipated into its basic ele ment. Preserves are generally kept for a time, and thus lose their pnisnu mis qualities. Some seasons develop more of the noxious principles in fruits than others, and some varieties of peaches and cherries have more of them than others. Asa general rule, the more bitter the kernels, the more prus sic acid they are capable of evolving. One Winston was (and probably 13 now) a negro preacher in Virginia, and his ideas of theology and human na tore were often very original as the fol lowing anecdote may prove. A gentleman thus accosted the oid gentleman one Sunday : “Winston, I understand you believe every woman has seven devils. How can you prove it ?” “Well, salt, did you never read in de Bible how seven dabbles were cast out’n Mary Magdalen ?” “Oh. yes! I’ve read that.” / “Did you ebber bear of 'em bein’ oist out of any odder woman, eah V* No, I never did.” “Well, den, all de odders got ’em yet.” in Bags- ■* tftr —— Hotel courtesy— inn atteati t.f.i.l ...

I have seen faith transformed to mean doubt, hope give place to grim despair and charity take on itself the features of black malevolence, all because of the spell of words of scandal, and the ma gic mutterings of gossip.

A mirror in Ihe A most remarkable discovery is re ported from the astronomical observ ati m established by the Russian government several years ago at Pauilateska, the highest point, with one exception,on the Himalayan range. For several months a peculiar bright spot had been dis covered, shilling from the extreme edge of the moon’s disk, at a point where in> mountains break the continuity ot its perimeter. This light suddenly disap peared and remained invisible for near ly twelve months. It has lately reap peared in greater brilliancy than ever, and the immense power of the telescope attached to the above observatory, s>> well known in the scientific world, has developed the fact that the light pr >• cceds from some huge burnished sub stance, acting as a mirror, which must be at least 100 feet in diameter. The most astonishing thing in the matter is the almost complete proof that this is actually a mirror of artificial construc tion, and the theory of the savans at Pamlateska is, that it is erected for ob servations of a scientific character..inn cipally to observe the phases of the earth’s surface.

IJe sighs heavily and looks nut the west window at a crape myrtle tree; she sighs lightly and gazes out the eait window—at the turnip patch. At last lie remarks: “This is mighty goetj weather to pieJfl cotton.” “ 'Tis that, if we only had any to pick ” The rocking continues. “What’s your (log’s name ?” “Connv.” Another sigh-broken stillness. “What is he good fur?” “What is he good fur ?” said he, ab stractedly. “Yonr dog, Cooney.” ‘ Fur ketehin’ possums.” Silence of half an hour. “fie looks like a deer dog.” “Who looks like a deer dog?” “Cooney.” “He is—hut he’s kinder an’ gr-ttin’ old an’ slow now.

She does not know it at least does not seem to be aware of it.
