we would have to rely upon Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota and other states for our supply.
In the light of the present such a belief
seems ridiculous, and yet we all know that it
was frequently expressed. Hundreds Of
thousands of pounds of -four were in the
early years of white settlement in the Hills
shipped into the country. Now the tide has
turned the other way, and hundreds of thous-
ands of pounds of flour produced here are
being shipped out. Some of the Indian
agencies get their supply in this quarter.

Among the inhabitants of Watts street,

itself up with Canal street in some
what bewildering fashion. there has
been some excitement recently on &C
count of a rumor that young and beau

ter there were bets as 10 whether IL was
only $500, 600 or 81. $50, coo. Those who
were apparently the best informed said
that the estate included one of the
largest breweries in Munich, and that

The PersimmOn.

What's them things, misterp" asked
a countryman of Fulton market fruit
dealer, pointing to a peculiar looking
fruit about two inches in diameter, of
terra-cotta color, closely resembling an
apple in shape; and having a needle.
like point at one end and something
like an acorn-cup at the other. There
was malicious twinkle in the dealers
eye as he said:
''Why, these are the celebrated Ten
nessee persimmons! Haven't you ever
tasted them? Try one.'
1t was not mellow but il looked
tempting, and the countrymanG teeth
soon met beyond piece the size of
silver dollar. The one piece satisfied
him, evidently, for all the astringent
qualities of green persimmon began
tongue, his teeth and his lips. His
mouth was growing smaller by degrees,
he could not laugh with grace. he could
not be angry, he could not articulate:
yet all the time he had the mortifica-
ton of seeing the dealer and his neigh
bors well-nigh convulsed with laughter.
With a smothered oath he went out,
and. mounting his wagon. drove away.
''These persimmons," says the
dealer, ''came from farmer near
Nashville, Tenn, who makes a specially
of growing them. He finds it a profit
able business, and has brought the
hitherto almost worthless fruit to high
state of perfection. These specimens
are green, of course, and were sent to
me for comparison with the Japanese
persimmon. find them larger, but
can not Judge of their flavor till they
are ripe, which they are not till they are
bitten by the frost. Frost mellows
them and removes all their strngency,
makes them as sweet as sugar and of o
delicious flavor.
The persimmon, indigenous to the
South. grows upon small trees seldom
exceeding fifty feet in height, and in a
wild state the fruit is small and unat.
tractive, though extremely sweet after
frost. Children are fond of the persm.
mon, but they are most popular with
the 'possum, who walks forth nightly to
regale himself and become a victim OF
the boys and dogs who know just where
to find him. A persimmon tree is
'possum's Eelmonico. Some people
have experimental with persimmons in
various ways. and l have known them
to be dried and pre- scd, in which con-
dition they eat as well as the dates Of
Arabia. The farmer from whom these
came has realized as much as ten dol.
lars bushel for his cultivated variety,
and, l understand, he has devoted
goodly portion of his land to a persim-
mon orchard, with the intention of show.
ing the American people just what can
be done with n product which grows in
every old field in the Southern and Cen.
trail States and has heretofore been
looked upon as little else than a nui-
sance. ~ Y. Tribune.
