Orchards for Profit.


We take the following from the South
ern Culticator, which we commend to
the careful consideration of the hum
dreds in our immediate vicinity, who are
contemplating the planting of extensive
orchards for profit. The article is from
the pen of d. Redmond, Augusta, Ca,
who has probably had more experience
in the business than any other man in the
South. A friend and subscriber to the
Cultivator desired to know what fruits
would you consider the most paying at
any point convenient to the Macon and
Western or Central railroad, for ready
Northern shipment ?"
1--WE reply" says the Cultirator,
"such apples as the Red Astrachan,
Red June, Red Margaret, Julian, ETC., all
early varieties, to reach New York in
June or July. Also, where the soil and
locality are favorable, such peaches as
Hale's Early, Early Tillotseu, Early
York, Crawford's Early, etc.-any free
stone variety, of good quality, that can
be shipped before the last of July or first
of August A high hill should be
selected for peaches; they should
be planted very carefully, trained in
pyramidal form; shortened in, on
Downings plan, every fall; MANFRED
with ashes, leaf mould, etc, and kept
free from borer, curculio and other insect
pest-an application Of gas-tar to the
collar Of the tree and six inches Of the
trunk shove, will keep the bOrer away.
"Great care must be taken in gathering,
packing and shipping early fruit. The
business Of oreharding for profit in the
South must be studied, and careless

New MEMPHIS THEATER.-The muddy
condition of the streets, and the threat
ening clouds a-sky Notwithstanding; the
attractive bill presented drew full and
fashionable house to the theater last even
ing. The inimitable Joe Jefferson i'm
personated for the third time, to the de-
light of all present, the title part in
Boucicaults dramatization of Rip Yam
'Winkle, in which he is Appropriated by
no living artist. We have already al.
luded st some length to the piece, and
had we not, there are few gene
raj readers who have not perused
the fiction from which it is
taken. In the hands of less skill
full performer the dramatization would be
pronounced inferior to the original, as it
unquestionably is in many particulars I;
but in the hands of Mr.. Jefferson all the
strength and beauties of the novel are
preserved and most faithfully presented
in the play. Who does not forget the
actor and see the veritable "Van Wrinkle"
himself, when the old man, bewildered
by the incredible metamorphosis that
has taken place during his nap
of twenty years, wakes to find
himself forgotten, and in his own home
Enoch Arden lke-another reigning in
his stead. His remembrance Of all be-
fore his sleep as on a yesterday, with an
inability to reconcile himself to the
events and changes during the void Of
twenty years between, even his own fears
at last that there is some dread mistake,
and his slowness in drawing from his
daughters heart a recognition, lest she
should disown him like the rest, through
all this Mr.. Jefferson plays wonderful
part, art imperceptibly conceals art, the
actor is forgotten-only ivan Wrinkle"
exists. An illusion is created which
false gesture, a mis.intonation would
once for all destroy. Rip Van Winkle
is on the bills for tonight, and cannot
fail to refill the house.

adjustment, are nightly growing in favor
