Growing Tea in G-eorgia.
Those who have investigated the sub
ject know that the obstacles to growing
tea successfully, as an article of com
merce, in much of Georgia and part of
other southern states, is the want of
experience, but chiefly of cheap labor.
The tea tree of China has" been grown
by several persons in Georgia, from the
Piedmont region to the sea coast. The
shrub is a hardy and vigorous evergreen,
and thrives as well with us as it does in
China and Japan. It grows ’ from three
to five feet high—a neat, compact, laurel
leaved shrub, with pretty, white flowers
in spring and, is quite ornamental.
It is perfectly hardy; will stand any
exposure in this climate, as has been tes
ted in this city (Athens), and many other
localities in Georgia."
A well-grown shrub five or six years
old, will yield, in a season, three to six
ounces.
It is now generally admitted that there
in but one variety of the tea tree grown in
China—the apparent difference being the
result of altitude, aspect, soil and cultiva
tion.
Seedling plants can be purchased of
some of our nurserymen at reasonable
prices, and they are easily propagated
from seeds (which they bear at three to
four years old) and stool cuttings.
It would be an easy matter for any
family that has a home and a few feet of
ground, to produce their own tea and a
little to sell. Its general introduction for
home use, would most likely lead to its
production for market. There would be
many things for our people to learn to be
able to manufacture the article as we get
it from China ; but a very good tea, and
free from adulteration, can be made by
simply picking and drying the leaves in
tho same manner that sage leaves are
cured.
The different qualities of the commer
cial article is the result of the (aside from
the soil, cultivation, etc.,) time of picking
the leaves, the manner of curing, and the
amount of adulteration.
The shrubs can bo transplanted any
time from November to April.—Rural

Delicate Classification.—Major Ben
Perley Poore, clerk of the printing re
cords of Congress, is compiling a new
Congressional directory. He is fond of
"doing” biographical sketches, and with-
al may be said to have sometimes, if not
ofteuer, made his clerical lips familiar
with the polished pedal coverings of the
mighty of the laud. The French call it
!>oot-lieking. Some delicious bits of
character painting are to be eliminated
from the “Major's” next compilation, but
domestic information is still receivable,

gress whose wives accompany them he
"■ill use the (asterisk.) In designating
those who are “accompanied by other
khhes,” he will have.to use, we suppose,
the — (dash), which may mean that the
piarital relation of the member indicated

reference to some dashing daughter of

'BlI supply the “void” in the heart of
the member indicated. The Nashville

u * the Major in thus embracing a large
humber of members under one classificas

ence Marryatt Ross-Churcli, the welt
known novelist, daughter of the late
Captain Manyatt ; Mr. William Crooked
*. R. S., editor of the Quarterly Jour,ud
of 'Wc-e, and Mr. W. H. Harrison,
Society:” nt ° f the Ethnological
began a scientific investi
gation of the phenomena of Spiritualism
four years ago. He was at 1 that tS
skeptical of a spiritual agency in this
connection; but believing hi the reality
of some of the phenomena produced, he
determined to apply to it the severest
sts, and, if possible, to ascertain for the
cause of science its origin and character.
Di fits early investigations he was assisted
by Huggins, the eminent astronomer, and
Sergeant Cox. The former had to with
draw after a short time on account of
other engagements, but put on record
nis opinion that the phenomena were new
and remarkable and should have tho
attention of scientists. Sergeant Cox
continued the examination with Mr.
Crookes and independently, and leached
the conclusion that he had discovered
new force in nature, which he called
/psychic force. This view he embodied
in a pamphlet which was published about
three years ago.
Mr. Crookes continued his experiments,
after being adandoned by his co-laborers,
publishing the results from time to time
in the Quarterly Journal of Science,
with engravings and explanatory diagrams.
His principal tests were applied to the
powers of Home and Miss Fox, both
American mediums, who have been resi
ding for some years in England. His ar
ticles attracted much attention as they
were published, and some very severe
criticisms from other scientific men. No
table among the latter was Dr. Carpenter,
who wrote for the Loudon Quartely Re
view on the subject. His theory of the
phenomena is that they are apparent
only, not real, and are the result of “un
conscious cerebration.”
In a late number of the Quarterly
Journal of Science, Mr. Crookes pifb-
lished some further reports of experi
ments, and announced that a collected
and digested resume of all of them, to
gether with the conclusions which lie had
been able to reach in reference to them,
were being prepared and would eventually
appeal' in book form. Since the above
announcement Mr. Crookes lias been in
attendance upon phenomena more extra
ordinary than any upon which he has
made a report in the Quarterly Journal
of Science. We find in the London
Spiritualist a letter written by him deci
ding a part of this phenomena, and its
tenor leaves no doubt that Mr. Crookes,
who began his experiments as a skeptic,
has become a full convert to Spiritual
ism.
The phenomena may be briefly deserib
ed as this: Among the persons in Eng
land possessing mediumistic powers is a
young girl of fifteen years of age, Miss
Florence Cook. Mi'. Crookes vouches
emphatically for her respectability and
heringenousness. Her powers have been
submitted to the severest tests at Mr.
Crooke'sown house, and under conditions
which he has himself dictated, and he
does not seem to have a doubt that they
are genuine. While in the trance state,
about three years ago, a luminous form
began to appear near her person. This
has, in the course of time, developed into
a full-grown woman, and not merely the
form of a woman, but a flesh and blood
one, which appears Suddenly, w alks, talks,
permits itself to be touched and embraced,
and melts away into nothingness before
the eyes of the company. This spirit
says that her name is Annie Ownes, that
she died a hundred y. ars ago in Wales,
and that her nick name is “Katie King."
She is described as very beautiful in face
and figure, wearing long hair of light
auburn, which hangs in ringlets down her
back and each side of her head, reaching
nearly to her waist. On the occasion of
her later appearance she was dressed in
pure white, with low neck and short
sleeves. She wore a long white veil, but
this was drawn over her face but seldom.
Mr. Crookes says:
“Photographymay, indeed, give a map
of her countenance, but how can it repro
duce the brilliant purity of her complexion
or the ever-varying expression of her most
mobile features, now overshadowed with
sadness when relating some of the bitter
experiences of her past life, now smiling
with all the innocence of happy girlhood
when she had collected my children round
hor and w r as amusing them by recoimting
anecdotes of her adventures in India.”
Recently “Katie,” as she is called
throughout all the reports of the seances,
has announced that her “time was up,”
and that after a certain date she would
not be able to appear again. This time
was fixed for May 21, and previous to
that she gave three seances, at which Mr.
Crookes and family, Mr. Durfphy, barris
ter-at-law ; Mr. S. C. Hall, F. S. A., Mrs.
Ross-Churcli, M. E. Bouland, LL. D., Mr.
W. H. Harrison, F R. S., President of
the Ethnological Society; M. Gustave de
Veh, Mr. and Mrs. Cook, the parents of
the medium, and a few other ladies and
gentleman of respectability were permit
ted to be present.
One account of the farewell scene is
written by Mi*. Harrison, the President
of the Ethnological Society. He says
that on this occasion Mr. Crookes led the
medium, Miss Florence Cook, into the
dark room used as a cabinet at 7; 25
o'clock, p. m. The medium laid down on
*the floor, with her head resting on a pil
low, and at 7:28 o’clock, p. m., Katie,
the spirits voice, was first heard She
walked out from behind the curtain at
7:30 o'clock, p. m., dressed in a long
white low necked robe, as usual. The
medium was dressed iu a high gown of
blue merino. During nearly the whole
seance, while Katie was in the room con-
versing with the persons present, the
curtain of the cabinet was drawn back,
and everybody could see the sleeping me
dium, who did not stir from her original
position, bat lay quite still, her face being
covered with a rod siiawl, to keep, the
light from it There was a good light
during the entire seance.
Katie talked about her approaching
departure and accepted a bouquet from
one gentleman and a bunch of lilies from
Mr. Crookes. All tho sitters clustered
closely around her. She sat on the floor
Fiitfr 1 fashion, divided the flowers into
bunches, tying them up with blue ribbon.
She wrote parting notes to some of her
friends and one to her medium, and se
lected a fine rose bud for her as a parting
rift She then took a pair of smssore
end cut off a quantity of her hair, gmng
everybody present a liberal portion. She
cut pieces from her dress and then made
it whote again. Mrs. Ross-Churchy m
the letter appended, also speaks of tins
carious performance. She gave porting
instructions to Mr. Crookes and prey
ed further developments m the future,
though not in person, as now. Then she
saidthat her power was fading and she
most go. She bade ail farewell m the

seances, he says: 4 ° 1
“Kahe muffled her medium’s head up
m a shawl, to prevent the light from
falling^pon her face. I frequently drew
the curtam on one side when Katie was
standing near, and it was a common
tnmg for the seven or eight of us in the
laboratory to see Miss Cook and Katie
at the same time, under the full blaze of
the electric light. We did not on these
occasions actually see the face of the
medium because of the shawl, but we saw
her hands and feet, we saw her move
uneasily under tho influence of the
intense light, and we heard her
occasionally. I had one photograph of
Hie but Katie is Seated in
front of Miss Cook’s head.”
As a further evidence of the distinctness
of the medium and the strange visitor,
Mr. Crookes writes:
“One of the most interesting of the pic
tures is one in which I am standing by
the side of Katie; she has her bare foot
upon a particular part of the floor. After
wards I dressed Miss Cook like Katie,
placed her and myself in exactly the same
position, and we were photographed by
the same ameras, placed exactly as in the
other experiment, and illuminated by the
same light. When the two pictures are
placed over each other these two photo
graphs of myself coincide exactly as
regards stature, etc., but Katie is half a
head taller than Miss Cook, and looks a
b\g woman in comparison with her.”
Mr. Crookes gives substantially the
same account as Mr. Harrison of the final
seance. Having made her farewells to
the company, she walked with Mr.
Crookes into the cabinet. Stooping over
the sleeping medium, she touched her and
said: “Wake up Florae, wake up! I
must leave you now.” Miss Cook then
woke up and tearfully entreated Katie
to stay a little time longer. “My dear,
I cant my work is done. God bless
you, Katie replied, and then continued
speaking to Miss Cook. For several
minutes the two were conversing with
each other, till at last Miss Cook’s tears
prevented her speaking. Following Ka
tie's instruction, Mr. Crookes then came
forward to support Miss Cook, who was
falling on the floor, sobbing hysterically.
He looked round, but the white-robed
Katie had gone. As soon as Miss Cook
was sufficiently calmed, a light was
procured and he lod her out of tho cabi
net.
In concluding this account, which is
communicated to the London Sjnritmilist
Mr. Crookes says:
“The almost daily seances with which
Miss Cook has lately favored me have
proved a severe tax upon her strength,
and I wish to make the most public ac
knowledgement of the obligations I am
under to her for her readiness to assist
me in my experiments. Every test that
I have proposed she has at once agreed
to submit to with the utmost willingness.
She is open and straight-forward in
speech, and I have never seen anything
approaching the slightest symptom of a
wish to deceive. Indeed, I do not believe
she could carry on a deception if she
were to try, and if she did she would
certainly be found out very quickly, for
such a lino of action is altogether for
sign to her nature. And to imagine that
an innocent school girl of fifteen should
bo able to conceive and then successfully
cany out for three years so gigantic an
imposture as this, and in that time should
submit to any test which might be im
posed on her, should bear the strictest
scrutiny, should bo willing to be search
ed at any time, either before or after a
seance, and should meet with even bet
ter success in my own house than at that
of her parents, knowing that sho visited
me with the express object of submitting
to strict scientific tests—to imagine. I say,
tho “Katie King” of the last few' years to
be the result of imposture—does more
violence to one’s reason and common
sense than to believe her to be what she
herself affirms.”
The letter written by Mrs. Ross-Churcli
is oven more circumstantial, and as it
gives a better idea of the alleged phe
nomena than either Mr. Harrison’s or Mr.
Crookes accounts, we reprint it entire:
To the Editor of the Spiritualist :
As the genuineness of Miss Cook’s me-
diumship has been so publicly called in
question lately, I think it but a just re
turn for the kindness which enabled me
to be present at three of her last seances
to bear witness to what I experienced
there. These seances took place on the
9th, 13th and 21st of the present month.
I will not recapitulate what so many
have told of the appearance of the spirit
of “Katie King," nor of the means taken
to prevent any imposition on the part of
her medium. This has all been repeated
again and again, and as often disbelieved.
But I find Sergeant Cox, in his late let
ter on the subject of Miss Showers’ me-
diumship, say that could such an end bo
attained as a simultaneous sight of tho
apparition* outside the curtain and the
medium within, “tho most wonderful fact
the world has ever witnessed would be
established beyond controversy.” Per
haps Sergeant Cox would consider a
sight of both medium and spirit in the
same room and at the same time as con
vincing a proof of stem truth. I have
seen that sight
On the evening of the 9th of May Ka
tie King led me, at my own request, into
the room with her beyond the curtain,
which was not so dark but that I could
distinguish surrounding objects, and then
made me kneel down by Miss Cook s
prostrate form and feel her liands and
face and head of curls, whilst she (the
spirit) held my other hand in hers and
leaned against my shoulder, with one arm
round my neck. I have not the slightest
doubt that upon that occasion there were
present with me two living, breathing in
telligences, perfectly distinct from each
other, so far at least as their bodies were
concerned. If my senses deceived me;
if I was misled by imagination or mes
meric influence into believing that I
touched and felt two bodies instead of
one; if “Katie King,” who grasped and
embraced and spoke to me, is a projec
tion of thought only—• will power, an
instance of unknown force—then it will
bo no longer possible to know “who’s
who in 1674," and we ahould hesitate to
turn up the gas incautiously lest half our
fronds should be but projections of
thought and melt away beneath the glare,
ever Katie King was on the
of the 9th of May, she was not
To that fact I am ready to
tmy most solemn oath. She re
peated the same experiment with me
on the 13th, and on that occasion we
had the benefit of mntural sight also,
as the whole company were invited to
erowd round the door, whilst the curtain
was withdrawn and the gas turned up to
the frill, to order that we might see the

Miss
b rwT^f e ' Pobe d 8 pi*i^ stood beside her
On Hie 21st, however, the occasion pi
Katie s last appearance amongst us, she
was good enough to givo me what I con
sider a still more infallible proof (if one
could be needed) of the distinction of her
ideality from that of her medium. "When
she summoned me, in my turn, to say a
few words to her behind the curtain, 1
again saw and touched the warm, breath
ing body of Florence Cook lying on the
floor, and then stood upright by the side
of Katie, who desired me to place my
hands inside the loose single garment
" hich she wore and feel her nude body.
I did so thoroughly. I felt her heart
oeating rapidly beneath my hand, and
passed my fingers through her long hair
to satisfy myself that it grew from her
head, and can testify that if she be “of
psychic force,” psychic force is very like a
women.
Katie was very busy that evening. To
each of her friends assembled to say good-
bye she gave a bouquet of flowers tied
up with ribbon, a piece of her dress and
veil and a lock of her hair, and a note
which she wrote with her pencil before
us. Mine was as follows: “From Annie
Owen de Morgan (alias Katie King) to
her friend, Florence Marryatt Ross-Church
with love. Rensez a moi. May 21,1874.”*
I must not forget to relate what appeared
to me one of the most convincing proofs
of Katie’s more than natural power, name
ly, that when she had cut, before our eyes,
twelve or fifteen different pieces of doth
from the front of her white tunic as sou*
venirs for her friends, there was not a
hole to be seen in it, examine it which
way you would. It was the same with her
veil, and I have seen her do the same thing
several times.
I think if in the face of all this testi
mony that has been brought before them
the faithless and unbelieving still credit
Miss Cook with the superhuman agility
required to leap from the spirit s dress
into her own like a flash of lightning,
they will hardly suppose her capable of
rewearing the material of her clothing in
the same space of time. If they can be
lieve that they will not find the Spiritual
istic doctrine so hard a nut to crack after
wards. But I did not take up my pen
to argue this point, but simply to relate
what has occurred to myself. I could
fill pages with an account of these three
seances, but doubtless you will receive
several letters on the subject, and I shall
not trespass longer on your space, par
ticularly as I have only written this as a
testimony to my complete faith in Miss
Cook’s mediumship, and my pleasure at
having been permitted to judge of it my
self.
I am, dear sir, yours faithfully,
Florence Marryatt Ross-Churcb.

A Big Fleece.
We thought on reading the report made
to us, and published this month, of the
result of Genl. Goe s sheep shearing, that
it exceeded anything of the kind we re
collect to have heard of, with that breed
of 6heep, or perhaps of any other—but
the June No. of the National Jive Stock
Journal, since come to hand, shows that
in wool growing, as in every thing else,
the Gold State, California, outstrips all
others in the weight of her ffeeces. Doubts
were expressed of the correctness of the re
port by a correspondent of the Journal,
but the editor is furnished with the affi
davits in due form, as to the truthfulness
of the statement, of which he says “the
genuineness of these documents we have
neither the right nor inclination to call
in question.” The French Merino ram
Napolcan TV., belonging to the late Mr.
Robert Blacow, of Centerville, California,
is the hero of this wonderful flock, and,
according to the report, sheared 51 ^ lbs.
fleece. The widow of Mr. Blacow sends
to the Live Stock Journal, the following
letter, accompained with the necessary
proofs:
“I was not aware that any comments
were being made in regard to the weight
of the fleece taken from the French Mer
ino ram Napoleon IV. until a copy of the
Journal was given me by a friend. I at
once took steps to prove that this is not
“a California humbug,” but a living fact
—that the sheep and fleece are now on
the farm, and can be seen at any time. I
have had charge of Mr. Blacow’s sheep
for some time, and know what we say
about them are facts, as we do business
in no other way.
When Napoleon IV. was two years
old, I clipped from him 4<i pounds, one
year’s growth; at three and four years I
was not there, but know the parties well
who sheared him. At five years old, I
sheared him again. At six years old we
intended he should carry his fleece, and
be exhibited at the State fair in Septem
ber; but in this we failed, as his fleece got
so heavy that it reduced his weight about
100 pounds; and in July we were com-,
pelled to shear him, when his fleece was
sixteen months growth, and not twelve,
as you have it.
Some of our ewes shear from 25 to 35
pounds; the flock on the average yielding
23 pounds.
If this proof is not considered satisfac
tory, I hope that some of our Eastern
friends who were so badly “choked” with
the “big fleece," will satisfy themselves
of the filing by coming to our State and
inspecting the flock, which numbers near
ly six hundred head. They were originally
imported from the French imperial flock
at Rambonillet.
I enclose affidavits, as requested, and
also a few samples of wool.
