The peach originated in Persia and
Northern India, and IS of the same ge-
ms as the almond. The nectarine diff
fers from thepeach only in being smooth,
while the peach is downy. 1t is a mere
variety, probably produced and assured
ly preserved NY cultivation. The free
stone peach Of the French is their
35ecIse, while the clingstone is their
pavie. A remarkable variety, of Oli-
nese origin, has the fruit compressed
and fattened. with almost evergreen
leaves. The peach is cultivated widely

the East, in South America and Austria

raise superb peaches, and have often
orchards containing from %, GO to 25,-
600 trees. The quantity Of dried peach
es is reported to be steadily increasing,
while peach brandy is diminishing.

the fruit is much like the bitter almond
in its properties, and the blossoms ex-
hale an odor of bitter almonds. Both the
stone and blossoms are used in the manu-

more than 100 varieties of the delicious

There has been considerable addition, not
only to the aggregate population, but to the
rate of growth, though the lower average in
the previous decade was unquestonably due
partly to the war and partly to the defective
enumeration in the Southern States. The lat
ter cause also gives tho South better showing
in the comparative exhibit than that section
under other circumstances would have.

It will be seen that Alaska and the Indian
Territory are not included in~the statement for
1880. There were in 1870 about 100000 In
dams sustaining tribal relations. None of
these are included in the count for purposes
of representation. When the Indians and the
inhabitants of Alaska are added, it is probable
that the total population will be found to ex-
coed 80, 100000.

of population in each group from 1860 to 1870,

A POEM BY 8. L. CLEMENS

Did he take the prize? Yes, he took
the prize. The poem and its title didn't
seem to go together very well but no
matter, that sort OF thing has happened
before it didn't rhyme, neither was it
blank verse, for the blanks were all
filled-yet it took the prize for this
reason no other poem offered was really
worth more than about $3.50, whereas
there was no getting around the petrifed
fact that this one was worth $40. In
truth, there was not q banker in the whole
town who was willing to invest cent in
those other poems, but every one Of
them said this one was good, sound, sea-
worthy poetry, and worth its face.
Such is the way in which that strug-
Cling young poet achieved recognition at
last and got start along the road that
leads to lyric eminence whatever that
may mean.
Therefore, let other struggling young
poets be encouraged by this to go on
striving. MARX TWAIN.

A Tale for Struggling Young Poets,

Mark Twain contributed the following
amusing sketch to a publication in Buff
falo, printed in the interest of the Ho-
meopathic Fair +:
Well, sir, once there was young fell
low who believed he was poet; but the
main difficulty with him was to get any
body else to believe it. Many andmany
a poet has split on that rock-if it is a
rock. Many and many poet will split
on it yet, thank God. The young fellow
[ speak Of used all the customary de-
vices-and with the customary results
to-wit He competed for prizes and
didn't take any; he sent specimens of
poetry to famous people and asked for 8
"candid opinion" meaning puff, and
didn't get it; he took advantage of dead
persons and obituaried them in ostensi-
ble poetry, but it made him no friends
certainly none among the dead. But at
last he heard of another chance there
was going to be a.homeopathic fair in
Buffalo, accompanied by the usual inof-
fensive paper, and the editor Oh that
paper offered prize Of 50 for the best
original poem on the usual topic OF
"Spring no poem to be considered
unless it should possess positive value.
Well, sir, he shook up his muse, he
introduced into her rousing charge OF
inspiration from his jug, and then sat
