Rare and Beautiful Trees,

The history of the origin and distribution of
rare and beautiful trees has always been source
of pleasure to the naturalist as we'll rs the lover
of Natures beauties
Among the many rare trees In our country the
Catalpa has attracted the especial notice of our
most distinguished botauists and travellers.
Michaux, who classes it "Bignonia Catalpa,''
says il is found in the Atlantic states, on the
banks of the river Savannah, near Augusta,
Ga, and West Of the Alleghanies, on the
Cumberland. Mutual, another distinguished
authority, says it is decidedly indigo.
nous to the United States, and appears to
have been introduced by the aboriginees, hence
its name, Cntnwha, from tribe of Indians on the
Catawba river. In most of the habitats where
he. has found it he is decidedly of the opinion
it has oeen introduced. 1t has been also found
on the banks Of the Wabash and in various other
localities, all indicating that it had been intro
duced by the seeds.
DR. Brendel cites Woffenhem, : German for
ester, in his notes on American Trees, who says
the tree is original in Florida and Carolina,
but has been introduced North. lie also speaks
of "Bignonia Catapa' rs q native of Virginia
and Carolina. and also OF Japan and the BAHIA
mas. Torrey, in his Flora Of the United States,
says it has evidently bean introduced, and
quotes Nuttals remark that it had been intro
duced by the aboriginies.
DR. Asa Gray. of Massachusetts, Mr.. Wood
and DR.. Darlington, Of Pennsylvania, speak of

specimens in the West of London, England, were
brought 10y Catesby from the Carolinas and
Georgia. In the climate of Scotland it becom es
almost herbacious, and in Russia il is IL hot house
plant 1t is likewise found in Austria, China,
Japan and France. The rapid growth of this
tree its rare beauty and easy propagation from
the sced, have led to its general diffusion, not
only for its ornamental properties, but from q
belief that it would be valuable in reforesing q

the Carolina Catalpa could not stand the climate
Of the more Northern sections. In the hunt nfter

We are little surprised that, under the pres =

mails throughout the South are not more fire.

the assertion 'at more than half the mail riders
nj the South are negros, picked up at the lowest
wages and without the least regard to their char

stealing and other crimes. from burglary TO petty
larceny, and served terms in the penitentiary or
County jail but that is not taken into conside

country is more congena employn ent than any,
