ORIGIN OF OPIUM.
A Lovely Girl, a King and a Sage Have
Parts in the Story.

According TO the Bengali legend
there once lived on the banks of the
holy river Congo, Rishi, or sage, in
whose hut, made of palm leaves, there
was mouse which became favorite
with the seer, and was endowed by
him with the gift of speech. After a
ed by cat, at its earnest solicitations,
was changed by Rishi into cat then,
alarmed by dogs, into dog then into
an ape; then inty bear then into an
elephant, and finally, being still dis
contented with its lot, into beautiful
maiden, to whom the sage gave the
name of "Postomani," or the "poppy.
seed-lady."
One day while tending her plants
the King approached the Rishi's cot
tage and was invited to rest and re-
fresh himself by Postomani, who
offered him some delicious fruit. The
King, however, struck by the girls
beauty, refused to eat until she had
told him her parentage. Postomani,
to deceive the King, told him she was
a Princess whom the Rishi had found
in the woods and had brought up.
The upshot was that the King made
love to the girl and they were married
by the holy sage. She was treated as
the favorite Queen, and was very
happy; but one day while standing by
well she turned giddy, fell into the
water and died.
The Risbi then appeard before the
King and begged him not to give way to
consuming grief, assuring that the late
Queen was not OF royal blood. Said
he. "She was mouse and, according
10 her own wish, changed her success
lively into cat, dog, an ape, bear,
an elephant, and lovely girl. Let her
body remain in the we'll ; fill up the well
with earth. Out of her flesh and bones
will grow tree, which shall be called
after her, sPosto > that is, the poppy
tree From this tree will be obtained
q drug called 'opium,' which will be
either swallowed or smoked until the
end OF time. The opium swalIower or
smoker will have one quality of each Of
the animals to which Postomani was
He will be mischievous

Iuarrelsome like dog filthy like an

everything low, base, and impure,
whether he wishes to choose a wife or
a language. From beginning to end
of the "Grandissilnes" the creoles are
represented as the basest population on
earth.
"The partnership between the two
Honore Grandissimes was imp ossibie,
and the words of the white brother
that Honore f. m. C. "was the lawful
son by the laws of God" meant that
the black mistress of a white man, by
Gods justice, was a lawful wife and
her child legitimate, white the white
woman to whom he was legally mar
ried was only paramount"
The speaker concluded by thanking
Mr.. Cable for the few compliments he
had unconsciously paid the creoles, and
took leave of him finally, preferring
that he be left to the judgment of the
"Americans" of Louisiana.

CMBRELLA CHINA.

THIS tree, sometimes called the Texas
China, is becoming quite common all
over the country AMI is one of the
prettiest, if not the pretticst, Of all the
trees we have. Like everything else
whose origin is not known, there are
all kind Of fables accounting for its
origin. Some say, the berry from
which it originated, was found in the
craw of a wild goose others that a
TeXian who had for riding switch, a
twig of the common china, threw it
down and sticking into the ground,
small end foremost, took root and made
the umbrella china, and there are other
stories of the same sort.
This China is native Of Syria. 1t
was brought 20 Europe and is common
along the shores of the MEDITERRANEAN
sea. y gentleman from Texas, travel
ling in southern Europe, brought home
in his vest pocket few seed aud plan
ted them. This, we suppose, is their
first introduction into America and
hence by many they are supposed TO be
of Texas origin.
Just after the war, in 1866, Gov.
Moorc's family were returning to Lou
i5iaua from their exile in I, xas and on
a farm belonging TO Mr.. CundiH, 90
miles east Of Crockett, were growing a
number of Umbrella ChinaS. Tom
Hays ana Bun, then chiidrcn, gathered
q lot OF the berries To shoot from their
pop guns, as they travelled homeward.
After reaching home some of these
berries were found in the bottom of the
hack and Tom Hayes planted them just
outside of the hot house on MOorelaud.

DIRECTIONS FOR PUTTING UP A
BARBED WIRE FENCE.

The height of an ordinary fence is,
say four feet. First fasten with staples
the wire to the starting or end post,
which should always be of good size,
say GxS or sx1O, and firmly imbedded
in the ground below frost, and well
braced. Then two men carrying the
spool OF wire between them, unwinding
as they go, to the next straining post
| which may be set 800 to 400 feet from
| the other-applying the stretcber TO
| the wire and strain it up as tight as
possible; after fastening securely, go
back and staple to the intermediate
posts, which may be set from one to
two rods apart /; 20 feet will be found
to be good distance.
Before stapling the wire to the corner
post, leave enough hanging at the end
to insert into the ground as conductor
OF electricity. Many miles of wire
fence are ruined by the great volume Of
electricity passing over them during
storms.
If there is a long distance of fence to
be built, the spool of wire can be at
tached to the end Of q wagon box the
the rod which passes through the spool
resting on the edge Of the wagon box,
thus allowing the wire to unrolI freely.
In putting up the wire it will be
found the best way to put up the top
line first. In regard to the number Of
lines of wire to be used for fence, it
varies according to circumstances For
cattle, two lines arc thought by some
large stock-raisers to be sufficient, put
ting the lower wire 30 inches and the
IL inches from ha hat
three wires are generally used, and
make good substantial fence, the
lower wire - inches, the middle &c
inches from the ground. For perfec t
fence and one that will keep out dogs,
pigs, poultry, etc, use four lines of
wire. Put lower wire four inches, next
II, next 2l, and top line IS inches from
the ground.
y high barbed wire fence composed
of many strands, say . to 10, is highly
ornamental for gardens, parks, orchards,
graperies, dowcrbcds, private grounds
or lawns, aud impas5able by man or
beast; and is the only fence or barrier
that obliges every man or animal TO
enter the premises through the gate.
Vines cling naturally to such IA fence,
and present beautiful living edge.
In regard TO the distance apart that
posts should be set: Most farmers
having been accustomed to putting up
n board fence, with post 6 to II feet
apart, find it hard to adopt the way Of
putting them from rs to 80 feet from
each other for barbed wire; but it
should be remembered that there is no
strain against a barb fence, it affords
no resistance TO wind or snow, and
cattle cannot get against it to push it
down

POMPElI IN DANGER.

that the labors of excavation which
nave been slowly progressing for almost
l3O years might be rendered void at
any time by the freaks of Vesuvius.
Pempeii lies at the very foot of the
mountain.
The excavations began in 1855: but
the whole OF the old city has not yet

SLOW work to resurect wealthy place
which once contained at least 20, 900
inhabitants, from such deep tomb of
ashes and scoriae; and furthermore
the work had to be prosecuted with
extreme caution. Reckless haste might
result in the destruction of priceless
works Of art "a too sudden exposure
to light and air might cause master
pieces OF fragile material to crumble
into dust. 1t has been hoped that fur
ther researches would be rewarded by
the discovery of precious manuscripts.

Of this kind, and deprive the world of

What has already been discovered
would not indeed be lost to human
knowledge; for whole libraries of ex-
haustive works have been produced
upon Pompeii the silent streets have
been photographed, the interiors have
been drawn, the frescoes have been
copied, the most precious objects have
been transported to the Neapolitau
Museum. What would be lost totally
would be the actual vision of the CITY
itself, and the hopes of future discoy-
cry.
AS a consolation we may reflect that
the city was entOmbed by a great many
eruptions; and that shortly
after the first or second, the ruins were
pretty thoroughly searched by the an
clients; so that it ii not altogether prob
able any further discoveries Of extraor-
dinary importance could be made.
There have been very few bodies found
in the ruins, although we know that
great numbers of the citizens perished;
and very few gold or silver objects have
been found, although Pompeii must
have been rich in them. This would
indicate that the ruins had been we'll
searched eighteen centuries ago, when
the asil-depos:t was shaiiower than it
is now.
