The Orange Watermelon.

Within the past year we have heard much
of this vegetable curiosity, yet we do not res
member to have seen any account of its origin.
Our friend, Charles A. Peabody, Esq. hor,i-
cultural editor of the Soil of the South"
Georgia, has laid us under Obligations for a
package OF the seeds. In his note accompany.
ing the seed, he says: "This melon is the
greatest vegetable curiosity ] ever saw. It is
as beautiful as it is curious, and as delicious
as beautiful. 1t is cultivated like the common
Kind, but it must not be cultivated near any of
the melon family. When ripe, the skin peels
as readily from the pulp as an orange, and the
pulp may be separated between the lobes with.
out displaying the seed. As a desert fruit, it
has no superior in beauty or lusciousness.
Mr.. Peabody has a few packages of the seed,
which he sends by mail, to the curious in such
matters, at ST. a package, pre- charlottesville

Another Phase Of Woman's Righs.--The
Philadelphia correspondent of the Baltimore
American gives the following illustration ofan
advance movement on the great question Of
Female Rights:
A man who has considerable property made
:.complaint yesterday, to the effect that his
wife had become so jealous in the cause of
Woman's Rights, that she had serious designs
of taking life. Among other things he alleg-
ed: "About four o'clock this morning | pre-
vailed upon her to go to bed. | went to my
own bed. When woke | found ons hand Of
my wife's having hold of my windpipe, the
other over my mouth. Her knees were on nv
breast. | pushed her off, went to the doors
and found them all bolted. She said she would
have my life. | went to my colored mans
room and remained till morning"

M NJ. BALLOU, who has edited the "Picto.
ltls rial' from the commencement, having
bought out the late proprietor, Mr.. F. GLEASON,
will conduct this popular and widely circulated

Arrangements have been made for representing
during the year views of the most notable build
ings and localities throughout the United States.

genius, such as have by their own industry and

In addition to these, various notable European
scenes and occurrences will also be given from
week to week, forming a brilliant illustrated
journal.
