He states that it furnishes peculiar ex tractive matter, cal let 1 Eucalyptine, said by some to be as excellent a reme dy against fever as quinine. That it is a powerful tonic nnti diffusible stim ulant, nnd is an excellent antiseptic application for wounds. Dr. M. C. Maclean, of England, says: “ With the exception, perhaps, of subcutaneous injaction of morphia, I know no remedy so efficacious iu al laying pain, calming irritation and producing sleep as to be compared to eucalyptus globulus. In the annual record of Science and Industry, it is stated that M German physicians have found a tincture of the leaves of the eucalyptus globulus to be a remedy for intermittent fever. Dr. Lorimer gave it to fifkv-three patients, of whom forty-three were completely cured. In eleven of theeisee, quinine had been used without effect, aud nine of them had been cured by the eucalyp tus.” Dr. A. B. Stout, of California, write?: “The Eucalyptus is not less precious for its medical virtues than it is ornamemel in ar'oorculture nnd use ful in ti e arts. Its chief value is as a sedative mid antiseptic in asthma and throat diseases, nasal catarrh* ami af fections of the muc ms memb ane. I had prepared cigarettes with c .arselv powdered leaves. These produce a de cidedly anodyne and antispasmodic e.S feet, "There can he little doubt hut that the oil of Eucalyptus and Eucnlyp- tiue, when it can lie procured, will be available against malarious diseases of all types, aiid that the presence of the trees, cultivated in gardens, contributes to sonify the atimispltere from those emnnatious which give rise to epidemic disease.” When young, the Eucalyptus is ex tremely delicate, and at tender age, is said not to be able to resist a tein- perataro lower than 27 degrees, Fah renheit, though young trees are now growing in the south of England that are said to have survived two winters without protection. Some experiments have been tried in Charleston. 8. C., that seem to indicate this freewill flourish well in that latitude. The young trees in California are said to bear a temperature as low as 10 des grees, Fahrenheit. If half that is said in regard to its hvgeoic properties be true, it would be invaluable in certain portions of our State. Every effort should therefore he made to ascertain whether it can be ncclimnted or not. It probably will flourish in and near marshy regions in the southern portiou* of Georgia. Even ifit cannot ue acclimated tobecome a useful forest tree, if the leaves have the medicinal qualities attributed to them, it would be of profit to cultivate it as an annual. A gcntlemin trough) me some leaves that he took from a young tree growing in Charleston that was twelve feet high, though only ten months old. I am informed the ex periment to raise the eucalyptus in Au gusta has been made with care, and has not been successful. The winter proved too severe. Some time since, being interested in the discussion of the virtues of the eu calyptus, I opened correspondence with the reputed discoverer of its merit*. Sir Win. Macarthur, of New South Wales. He informs me by letter, that his attention was called to this tree by observing the comparative health of the population of the marshy regions during the summer. He writes: “The population of Sydney and suburbs, I think, verges on 120.000. This pop- in gold,) were obtained from Australia, by citizens of Albany, Ga* I am in formed that some young trees six or seven feet high, are now growing iu Albany, raised from those seed, and that they were unprotected during the winter. The inference is, that they will flourish in that climate. Those left exposed, that were not transplanted, flourished best. W. LeRoy Broun, Georgia State College of A. & M. A., June 2nd, 1675. Miscellaneous Selections. THE SHOT THAT KILLED BISHOP POLK. To the Editor of the New York Herald: In your review of “Sherman’s Memoirs,” what purports to be a state ment of the manner in which Gen. Polk was killed is given, from which it appears that Sherman called Gener al Howard's attention to a group nf officers on Pine Mountain, and “ or dered him to compel it to keep under cover.” Will you permit one who was attached to Gen. Howard’s head quarters, and who was by his side dai ly on the Atlanta camp tign—one who, with Howard and others sat our horses beside the Fifth Iudiaua battery that fired the fatal shot—to give the true story from tny notes mode that morn ing and published in a Western daily a few weeks afterward T There cer tainly is a grievous error either in your review or in Sherman’s descrip tion of the tragedy. Gen. Sherman was not there, anil could not liave $een the shot fired. Gen. Sherman may have, however, as he rode to the rear, where he met Howard, called his .at tention to what he (Howard) would see when our party reacned Gen. Da vid Stanley’s front.

Shtowd Simon Short sewed shoes- Seventeen summer’s speed ing storms, scattering sunshine, saw Simon’s small, shabby shop still standing staunch; saw Si- rnon’s self-same squeaking sign still swinging swiftly, specifying, ’Simon Short, Smithfield’s sole survi ving shoemaker. Shoes soled, sewed supcrfincly.’ Simon’s sed ulous spouse, Sally Short, sewed shirts, stitched sheets, stuffed so fas. Simon’s six stout stuidy sons, Seth, Samuel, Stephen, Said, Silas, Sliadrach, sold sundries. Sober Sotli sold saddles, stirrups; sagacious Stephen sold silks, sat ins, shawls; skeptical Saul sold silver salvers: selfish Sliadrach sold salves, shoe-strings, soaps, saws, skates; slack Silas sold Sally Short's ntuffed sofas. Some seven summers since. Simon’s sec ond son, Samuel, saw Sophia So- phronia Spriggs somewhere— sweet, sensible, smart Sophrouia Spriggs. Sam soon sh<» wed strange symptoms. Sam seldom stood selling saddles. Sum sighed sor- rowfidly, sought Sophia Sophrouia Sprigg's society, sting several ser enades slyly. Simon stormed, scowled severely, said Sam seemed so silly singing such senseless songs, strutting spend -thrift, scat terbrained simpleton. "Sam’s: smitten—Sam’s spied some sweet heart.

It was just after sunrise. A mile or two iu rear of the advance Howard met Sherman, but the conversation bettveeen them i did not hear, as the two Generals conversed aside. Howard and staff joined Stanley and hi* staff on the road, in full view of Piue Mountain, and :ts we drew rein and exchanged greetings, Staulev exclaimed : , , f* Howard, do you see that group up there on the Croat of the mountain? I tvouder who they are.” We ad brought our field*glasses to bear upon the point indicated, and could plainly see three persons stand ing in front of the line of breast-work*, and n larger group in the background.

Howard, who had suggested tiiat Bishop Polk was in the party, made no objections, when Stmiley turned to Captain Simonson, his chief of artillery, with the remark: * Simonson, can’t you uulinibcr, put a shot into that group, and give the Bishop a morning salutation ?’’ .... - ng salutation r to party strength'; by coiinscllin HUry! was Simonson s laconic 'SLniffrS Inwards nnstn.t reply. And away he gallop*! to the the introduction of this tree. In noted district in Algiers, noted for the prevalence nf fever, this tree was tried on a krge scale, and in a short time the place was rendered healthv, and the marshy places dried up. In an other noted fever spot, where marsh water prevailed both winter and sum mer, Dr. B. states that the whole dis trict ' was dried up by 14,000 of these trees, and the inhabitants now enjoy excellent health. In Cuba also, the health of the marshy districts is being greatly improved where this tree has teen introduced. A special instance ia given of a station house on a rail road where the dimate was so pesti lential that officials could nut be kept, now rendered healthy in consequence of the planting of a few Eucalyptus trees. Instances.are given of its" ben eficiol effects in improving the climate in portions of Fiance, Spain, Italy and Germany. This testimony is very general in favor nf the effects of this tree in improving the dimatio condi tion of countries liable to malarious in fluences.' Dr. Bentley states'that this of swamps bordering upon the suburbs and railed “Botany Swamps.” In the mott crowded parts of the city, amongst a low, ill-housed, dissipated population, the death rate. I believe, rarely r aches above 24 per 1,000. In the suburbs, even to the edge of the swamp*, only from 14 to 18 per 1,000, and usually greater in winter than in summer.” *' These facts,” he adds. “ lead me to believe myrtaeeous vegetation as the nwsible purifier of the atmosphere. There is an agreeable fragrance, a sort of balmy, camphorous odor, quite pets ceptible at night, especially? in low, awampy places. That the Eucalipti, a most numerous genus, oonstituuog the greatest portion by Air of our forest trees, all possess foliage abounding in essential oils which contribute largely to the favorable conditions.” But I will not lengthen thisartide by giving farther interesting extracts. I desire to call the attention of the residents of the Southern portiun of Georgia to the reported virtues of the Eucalypt is, and to state that, for the purpose'of 'giving the oedinutioo of tree is’commonly re.arded as being ibis tree a fell trial, 1 have very recent servieealtle ia destroying malaria in two ly received a quantity of seed, both of ways—both by its tar spreading roats 1 the Eucalyptus globulus and the Euoa- acting like a sponge, and Unfit pump-1 lyptus rostrate. These seed were re litg np water and draining the ground; ! ceived front Sir Win. Manarthur. and also by “emitting odorous anti- Camden Park. New 8outh Wales, and septic emanation* from its leaves.” The foliage of the groves diffuses, it is said, an “agreeable, aromatic, cam- phoracious odor ini the aurrouodingair." By the grew absorbing power of the trees, the raarehy places are quickly dried. All the species have evergreen from Baron Von Mudler, director Bo tanic Garden*, Melbourne, Australia. I will take pleasure iu distributing the seed on application. Where great care is used the seed should have a very light covering of earth, as cabbage reed, and re|ilanted leaves. The flowers, pinkish or white, | when three or fbur inches high, and are beautiful. The elegant appearance of the tree* and the agreeable nature | of their odors, render tiiem favorite objedbref edtnW • This tree is al*o said to be of a very rapid growth, an rapid ** that any man in twenty veare, could find himself, if he choose," surrounded by a forest ol bis own planting.” In its native coun try, it grows to an immense rue. With the exception* of the California conife rous tree, it is said to exceed in dimen sions any tree in the-world. In some cases in Australia, it has tero known to attain tho dimensions of 350 feet in height, and 100 feet in circumference. These trees have been very largely introduced in California, and are now extensively cultivated there for their many valuable qualities. The climate and soil of California appear very-ta- well watered. The Eucalypt us rottrata, “ red gum,” ia very: valuable for the extraordmanr endurance of the wood Underground, and for thia reuon, ia highly valuable for fonea-posts, piles and railway aleepers. The wood ia said to be “so soft at first, as to render the felling, splitting and sawing up of the tree when green, a very easy pro : cess; but when thoroughly dry, be^ coming hard at oak." Possessing there qualities, this species would he of great value as a timber, tree. The reputed power which this tree possesses of de stroying malaria, render* it an object of special interest to us of the South. Experiments should be made by ou; people in various localities, to deter mine the question whether it will flour ish in our soil aad climate.

A lew minutes later a section of the Fifth Indiana Battery (Simon son’s) was uulimbered within twenty- feet of ns. The Lieutenant sighted the gun nnd the shot exploded over and to the right of the group. Here my memory tails me, but my impres sion is a second shot was sighted and fired by the Lieutenant with no better effect. Simonson, when the gun hud been reloaded, dismounted, and said, * Here, Lieutenant, let" me try it.” He tuok the range and the messen ger of death sped on its mission. Our glasses were beat upon the group, and we observed a commotion us the shot took effect 'll! the group that scattered to the rear. While Simonson was upon his knees sighting the gun for auotber discharge, (Japtaiu Leonard, Chief of Howard’s Sivual Corps, fit ting ou his horse betide me, read the Confederate signal code that our offi cers had interpreted at Lookout moun tain and caught the words: General Polk is killed!” With a look of amazement, Leonard turned to Howard and Stanley and exclaimed: * Bishop Polk ia killed!” What?” exclaimed Howard, ‘‘have , ,on interpreted the tigual correct ly?” r't “Yes, General; Simonson’* last shpt killed him.

Three years thereafter, we caught trout weighing nine pounds, and any quantity of bream ot large afro. , ... Reporter—Why did the addi tion of tropt' increase the size of the bream? Doctor—-It H a well-known fact that a pond of itself, supplies a limited amount of food for one species of fish. Bream not being piscivorous, they increased beyond the teeding capacity of the pond, and as a natural cottsequeuce when not getting sufficient food, they were of small size. The trout feeding entirely upon other fishes, devoured immense quanti ties of the small"bream ; conse quently, more food was left for those remaining., Reporter—Wlmt vur’n ty of fish do you think best suited for ponds in this section of the State? - >.i Doctor—Perch, bream, trout and red-fcprse.

As he happeneiV one day to be in this disguise with his mistress and her female com panions, celebrating on the sea shore the rites of Ceres Elcusina," gang of pirates came upon them- by surprise and carried them all off. The pirates, having conveyed them to a distant island, got drunk for joy, and fell asleep. Hymen seized his opportunity, armed tlto virgins, and dispatched the* pi rates; after which, leaving the la dies on the island, he went iff haste to Athens, where lie told his adveiiture to all tho parents/ aud demanded her lie loved in marriage ns her ransom. His re quest was granted, and so fortu nate was the. marriage, that the name of Hymen was ever after ward invoked in nil future nup tials, and in progress of time, the Greeks enrolled him among their gods. •" ■ '. : MWcrifi!
