THE HISTORY OF THE PEACH.
From the Hearth s. Home.

Artemus Ward is credited with the
saying that when he boarded around at
different places, he always liked to eat
hash, because then he knew what he was
eating Now that tho peach season is
about opening, such of our readers as
would like to know something of the
history of that delicious fruit, will be in.
terested in the following facts, which we
have taken from Fulton's work on Peach
Culture 4: A4Vs o. . a*a
The peach is supposed to be native
OF Persia, and it's botanical name refers
to that origin. 1t is known to have
fourished in both Persia and China at a
very early period, and was highly valued
in both countries. 1t has often been
found growing spontaneously in Asiatic
Turkey. It is mentioned by Pliny, and
several other classical writer's, and many
anecdotes are related of the generation
and even superstition with which it was
regarded by the Asiatics. Thefe is no
doubt but it was one Of the "Trees of the
Garden" which God planted in Eden,
and which were to nourish and cheer our
first parents in their pristine purity and
happiness. It is not mentioned in the
Bible, but its congener, the almond, is
mentioned several times, and as early as
the days of Jacob. And we find, when
he was preparing his presents for the
Governor of Egypt, he commanded his
sons to take "myrrh, nuts, and almonds"
as gift showing the esteem in which it
was then held. Again, in the directions
for making the golden candlestick, among
the ornaments, the myrtle and almond
are mentioned as of the chief.

history in the reign of the Emperor
Claudius. It was highly valued by the
patricians of Rome, and was cultivated I
BY them as one of their choicest luxuries.

climate, however, prevents its general
cultivation, and it is only grown on walls
or under glass, and the fruit is seldom
seen except on the tables of the aristoc
racy.
Even in France where the climate is
much milder, it is not always reared
without protection, and the fruit has
never gone into general use, but is del
icacy confined to the wealthy alone, the
cultivation being confined principally to
gardens.
In. China it is extensively cultivated in
the gardens Of the rich, and has attained
an extraordinary size. But of their man.

policy heretofore pursued by that an

hoped for, more accurate and complete

Chinese are great gardeners, and much

Hon. A. S. Wood, member of the
Legislature from Yazoo county, and who
has been patient for several months in
the Lunatic Asylum, committed suicide
on Sunday evening last about eight

bar of his room window. He employed
for the purpose long towel, such as is
used on rollers, one end of which he fas-
tened to the bar, and making a loop Of
the other end. placed it around his neck.
His head, when found, rested against the
window sill, the distance from which to

feet. He evidently threw the full weight
of his body on the towel in a desperate
resolve to make the work quick and
effectual He had been seen in the pas
sage about fifteen minutes previous, and
was found dead by one of the attendants
who had entered the room with medicine.
The deceased was a native of Vermont,
and thirty-six years of age. He was
committed to the Asylum soon after the
adjournment of the Legislature; had
frequently applied for a razor, and on
one occasion was detected putting a
carving-knife in his pocket while at table
The deceased had informed the Superin
tendent that he had fit of insanity about
fifteen years ago, and that the disease
was hereditary.
