Luscious Peaches.
WHERE THE DELICIOUS FRUIT oRIGI-
NALLY CAME FROM.

WHERE THE DELICIOUS FRUIT oRIGI-
NALLY CAME FROM.
We are now at the very height of the
peach season; the fruit is coming in in
ample quantities and excellent quality,
aud very heavy business is being done.
The peach originated in Persia and
Northern India, and is of the same
genius as the almond. The nectarine
differs from the peach only in being
smooth, while the peach is downy. 1t is
mere variety, probably produced and
assuredly preserved by cultivation. The
free-stone peach of the French is their
peche, while the clingstone is theirpavie.
A remarkable variety, of Chinese origin,
has the fruit compressed and hattened,
with almost evergreen leaves. The
peach is cultivated widely in Southern
Europe, in many parts OF the East, In
South America and Australia, though it
has never, it is believed, attained the
perfection of the fruit in the United
States. New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaw are, Mary land and Ohio raise
superb peaches, and have often orchards
containing from 10000 to 25,000 trees.
The quantity of dried peaches is reported
to be steadily increasing, while peach
brandy is diminishing. Peach water,
obtained by bruising the leaves of the
tree, mixing the pulp with water, and
distilling, is not only employed for
favoring, but in medicine as a sedative
and vermifuge. The stone of the fruit
is very like the bitter almond in its
propeaties, and the blossoms exhale an
odor of bitter almonds. Both the stone
and blossoms are used in the facture Of
a liqueur called Persieo. In the Old and
New World there are, it is said, more
than 100 varieties OF the delicious fruit.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN-The Globe
Democl at has been endeavoring IN re-
cent issues OF that paper TO make con-
siderable political capital out of let
Ter published some time since in the
city OF Memphis than it possibly could
anywhere else; that it was written by a
Republican and sigEed "Southern Dem
ocrat" for the purpose of misleading the
public, and in order to furnish "bloody-
shirt" material for such papers as the
Globe-Democrat, which delights in war
ring against the South. Moreover, the
letter was investigated, the authors real
name ferretted out and he was found to
be life long Republican. As the whole
affair was fully ventilated In all the
Memphis papers and the letter condemn
ed in most unmeasured terms by all
classes of citizens, white aud black Dem
ocl ats and Republicans and as the Globe
ID, mocrat seems to have received the
Memphis papers all the time, the fact is
obvious that it does not hesitate to re-
publish document which it knows to
be fraudulent and which vilifies and dis
gTaces really grateful community. 1t
even eagerly hastens to commit this un-
pardonable outrage, and all for the sake
Of spreading on" little more of its
"Southern outrage" business, in which
it continues to indulge, Notwithstanding
the speeches Of ''its own Ulysses" to the
contrary. In conclusion allow me to
ask you to publish this letter and the
subjoined extract from the Memphis Ap-
peal, so that this whole matter may be
placed tr1lthfullv before the neonle

A DELIBERATE FORGERY CONFESSED
1t turns out, as we expected, that the
written Of the communication published
in the Avalanche on Sunday morning is
a Republican. Men often steal the liv-
cry of heaven to serve the devil in, and
it seems that this dirty and unprincipled
Radical stole the name of "Southern
Democratic" for the purpose OF serving
the Northern Republicans. One Repub-
lican, who seems to be the friend of the
forger, is emphatic in asserting that no
one dares to tell the writer to his face
that he has perpetrated fraud. If the
coward will come out from the impene-
trable masked battery behind which he
shoots his arrows of falsehood, thou
sand Democrats in Shelby county will
tell him to his face that his depravity
and baseness are without parallel in
the history of Memphis politics or the
annals of redemptlonless scoundrelism.

Books FOR BOYS from Lee Shepard,
Boston, Mass.-The greatest difficulty for
parents Is to find suitable books for boys

firm Of Lee & Shepard are in perfect SYM
pathy with the boy-mind, and looking over
their books, we saw some that would make

are largely against financial success in 1t.
The man OF society who Is attracted
from the country To the city usually fails
TO calculate his own inSignifcance when
he encounters numbers. The man of So
cial consideration in the country needs
only To 60 TO the city TO find SO many
heads above his own that he is counted of
no value whatever, "Who is he?" "What
is he?" and 'sWhat has he done?' are
questions that need TO be satisfactorily
answered before he will be accepted, and
even then he will need TO become posi-
tive force OF some sort In society 10 main-
tain his position. City society Is full OF
bright aud positive men and women, and
the man and woman from the country
bring none OF their old neighborhood
prestige with them TO help them through.
To sum mp what the city man really
feels in regard TO the coming OF his coun-
try acquaintances to the city, il would be
not far from this.-viz:
lst The chances for wealth are as great,
practically, in the country as in the city,
and the expenses of living and the risks OF
disaster much less.
I'd. The competitions OF city life and the
struggles to get hold Of business and sal
aried work are fearful. No man should
come to the city unless he knows what he
is going TO do, or has money enough in
his hands TO take care of himslf until he
gets living position or becomes satisfied
that he cannot get one. Even today, with
the evidences of renewed prosperity all
around Us, there are probably ten applica-
tons on file for every desirable place, and
no man living here could help friend to
place unless he could create one.
Sd. That the social privileges OF the
city may be greater, while the opportuni-
ties OF social distinction and the proba-
bilities OF social consideration are much
less than they are in the country.
4th. That in many respects there Is
nothing In the city that can compensate
for the pure pleasures OF country scenery
and country life and neighborhood asso-
Citations.
5th. That city mans dream of the fn-
ture, particularly if he ever lived in the
country, is always OF the country and the
soil. He longs TO leave the noise and
fight all behind him. and 90 back TO his
country home TO enjoy the money he may
have won.

WHERE ARE THEY?

The same old river rolls along.
With current deep and slow:
But where are they who trod Its banks
hundred years agos
Hither the youths and maidens came.
As now they gaily come.
To sport beneath the orchard tree,
And watch the fragrant bloom.
They talked and laughed. they danced and
sung;
They told the story old.
That charms and thrills the human heart
TIL death has made IL cold.
And life looked bright. and earth looked
fair;
They could not feel it true.
That just Ike shadows they must pass.
Or like the morning dew.
There seemed to be much need Of them;
For service from their hands
There rose. whichever way they turned.
Importunate demands
How could the world 90 on" they thought,
without Us in our placer"
Yet on their rivers pleasant shore
They left no single trace.
Old messy. crumbling grave stones tell
On yonder hillside fair
Where sadly dust to dust was laid;
But they were never there.
The grasses wave. the Spring birds sing.
The gentle south winds blow;
But where are they who trod tho banks

"a SORT OF MILDEW."

DIR. Alonzo Garcelon Is the present
Governor of Maine by virtue Of having
been third on the list Of candidates voted
for at the election In 1873, and having
been selected by Republican State Sem
ate as choice Of evils between himself
and Mr.. Smith, the Greenback candidate.
One cannot help wondering what sort Of
q man Smith must be, that Garcelon should
have been preferred to him. Doubtless
Garcelon has developed his capacity since
the choice was made. Holding an Office
for which only pitifnl minority Of the
voters Of Maine supported him, 1t Is not
strange perhaps that he should hold ma
jorities in something like contempt. Be-
Tag Governor in spite Of them, why, he
reasons, should he not continue so? Or If
not he, some other representative OF q
beaten minority? And II the people OF
Maine have submitted for year to the
rule of minority Governor, why should
they not submit to the counting in Of a
minority Legislature, the election Of mi
uority State officer and minority United
States Senator? So Garcelon and his Co
conspirators have counted out the Repub-
lican majority In the Legislature and made
their arrangements to steal the State. All

The Fiji Times reports that canoe
containing twenty-five natives was upset

that the capsize occurred in locality in

sters seized their victims one by one, de-
vouring % out OF the 25 unfortunates
whose lives were thus placed at their
