A Lout four months ago the writer visited and described the luxuriant pear orchards and vineyards in the vicinity of Thomasvillc, which have so gristly enriched their owners, More recently he has continued his investigations a. other points, nolu. lily, Sniithvillc, Butler, Genera and Hawkinsvilte. The result of these observations i is the profound conviction that no i other description of husbandry will compare in the value and certainty of its returns with the rearing of fruit and the manufacture of wine for market. Gentlemen of unquestioned rclia. bllity who cultivate groves of or- angesin Fioiidaaud Lc Conte pears in Georgia, emphatically affirm that the latter are more prolltable, cer tain, and very much less expensive than the golden fruit of the “Pen. insular State." It was for tills reason that Mr. W. W. Thompson, who is an c.\. tensive orange grower in Florida, has of late ycurs turned his alien, tion exclusively to the opening of pear orchards, and vinevards in Southwestern Georgia. Tbo wrltera few days ago visited his famous “Lo Conte Nursery” in the environsoi Smithville.Ga.,nnd saw this remarkable pear and other fruit trees in their greatest per fection. On au area of 22 acres costing $30 peracre, Mr. Thompson, who began operations in 1880, lias 1,700 flourishing I.s Conte pear trees, 200 of the "Keifer” variety, and 100 -‘Orcntals.” ] The "I.e Contes" tire cone-like aud beautiful in form and bloomed j for the first time the present sea- I son. They will average a yield of j tier, bushels to each tree next year. This variety of (tear will gener ally bear the fifth year from the cutting, and four years after put ting out the rooted young trees of one year’s growth. The cuttings should be 12 to 15 inches in length,and may be iuserted from September to January about live inches apart, in trenches lflincli- cs deep, with about three iuchcs of well rotted stable or cowpcn manure at the bottom and then filled in with surface soil, the rich scrap ings of fence corners, or woods’ cailh. Stick the cuttings straight down so deep that only about two or three inches will protrude above ground. In dry seasons they should be watered und the soil kept loose and sell cultivated. The proportion of -‘slips” that will “catch” and grow olT varies with the vicissitudes of tho seasons. One fourth may be considered a fair average. Tbo writer put out 3G cuttings In his garden in January, and everyone of them budded and appeared to be ! doing well. Hut the cold winds [ and frosts of April nippeil all save j two or three. Those that can ho | relied upon to live may be kuown ; by the pinkish tinge of tho new ; leaves, lu extraordinarily favora ble seasons over 50 per cent hare boon known to stand. They will grow upon sandy or stiff soil, and may bo cultivated with success ns far North as New England. No clearly deflueil case of blight has ever been discovered in a Lc Conto pear orchard North or South, and llie demand lor young trees is con stantly increasing in every section of the Union and even in t.ie Cana das. Mr. Thompson has put out the present season 500,000 Lc Come cuttings and 2,500 Kcifcrs. The price of rootlets of a year's growth is $20 and upwards, accord ing to size, |>or hundred. Ife is waking another nursery and orchard at the distance of a Conte pears, a goodly number of year old rootlets, and thousands of nuttings that will he ready for market next year. There arc muny other pear or chards in the same vicinity and the people of that section will soon reap a rich harvest from the sale of this luscious fruit. At Uutlor wn had tho pleasure of meeting Mr. J. K. llospess, who unites in his person n happy com bination ol the religious journalist, larmor and Iruit and stock raiser. Mr. K. informed the writer that hia peach orchard numbered 4,600 trees, 3,000 of which arc now in full bearing nnil loaded witli fruit In addition lie has 700 LeConte pear trees 11 is difficult to decide whether he is most enthmed with the success of his journal, the Gos pel Messenger, which boasts a cir culation of 4,500 and is tho organ of the Primitive Baptists in the en tire South, or the wonderful suc cess of his l'ruit operations. His testimony is very pointed ns tu tbo superior profits or that branch of agricultural industry. R. A. Paschal, of Geneva, is also a striking illKtslration of the same truth, albeit he gives honey, poul try and bntirr a place also in tho picture. He allowed the writer no less than twenty varieties of pigeons nil occupying the snmo cote, and yet cacti species preserved intact. His plan is to mate them nt the proper time himself, and after couflning the pnir for a day or two turn them loose again. Iu every instance they prove faithful to the conjugal relation, and strange to relate their marital rights arc respected by the entire community ot birds. There is absolutely no crossing of breeds but every couple rears its own family without strife or bickering. This affords a salutary lesson to the bipeds of tho human race. Mr. Paschal derives a handsome rercuuo from his bees. Last year the colonies averaged one hundred pounds each of press ed honey which was eagerly sought alter in the market. By nil inge nious revolving machine the liquid honey is extracted, leaving the comb intact and ready to be refilled again bytbeindustrious little creat ures. Tho operation is repeated more than once during the season with the ahovo result. At this time Mr. Paschal has 55 hives and expects to sell over 5,. 000 pounds of honey. All of the work is done by him end one addi tional hand, who also cultivates the orchard and assists in the (arm. Hero wore to be seen also 700 choice LeContc pear trees, n flour ishing vinoyard loaded with grapes and an orchard of peaches and plums. But the pride and pet of tho own er was his bcnl of seven Jerseys of the finest and most celebrated atrains. These are of great value and the butter ot the finest quality. Tho vineyard of Mr. Starowaki nt Hawklnsvillo is exceedingly pro ductive and his Concord andScup- pernong wines are in great teqnest. The united testimony of tho wine growers of Georgia is that the grape crop is the most certain of all others in this latitude, audjtlic day is not distant when it will become one ol tho most important as it already is, profitable industries of the Commonwealth.

To a |ioIitieal opponent who had taunted Lincoln with his youth, he replied: “Live long or die young, I would rather die now Llmi), like tho gentleman, change my politics, aud, simultan eously with the change, receive an ollico worth $3,00(1 per year, and titen have to erect a lightning rod over my house to protect n guilty conscience from an offended God."

He was attired In the Turkish costainc, consisting of a short Jacket, bine vest embroid ered and covered with bell-buttons, baggy breeches, yellow sash, goat skin boots, and red fez; his hair was short, (ace dark, with bright, gleaming eyes and a fierce mons- taolu-. He was above the medium size, and withal n pleasant-looking fellow. “Now, nty aon,” said tho Cap tain, “bow ranch do you ask for the horse?" Making a salaam, tho Kurd an swered: “Master, If thy servant hath found favor in thine eyes, thou shall have the horse for 200 se quins." “O Father of the Faithful, hear tbo thief!” shouUd the old fellow with the swivel neck. “Two hun dred sequins for the brute, when I will sell my beautiful beast (or 100." “You nsk too much, my son,” said the Captain. “Thou seost, O Frangistani, that my horse is swift as au arrow from the bow, and that he sprlngetli like a jackal. See his loins; they are in strength ss the lion.” “I see all these things, O child of tho faithlul, but yet thou askest too much.” “Well, please God, thou wlltbuy htm (or 150 sequins." “N.iw may dogs defile thy grave, thou robber!” shouted the fellow who sported the blue gabardine and yellow slippers. “Wouldst thou client the stranger within onr gates, when for eighty sequins he cau buy my beast, the prido of Bns- sora, instead of mounting thy old camel, which is fit for nothing but lepers to ride?" “1 will count down in thine hand twenty sequins with the Sul tana of Frangistani thereon for thy horse.” said the Captain. “What hath thy servant do-ie to thee, O master, that Inou should thus revile him? Say eighty and we shall rejoice.’■’ “No; I will give thee twenty." “Fiftv sequins and he is thine.” “No.” “lte is of the children Arahy, but still thou mayest have him fur forty.” “Twenty, or we shall dopnrt In peace.” “In Allah’s name, say thirty." “No.” “Well, thou sbalt have him for twenty; but ho kind to Solim, for he Is a good horse, and loves not beating.” An extraordinary sceuo took place a few days since at tho Leek Cemetery, tu England, on the oc casion of the luneral of a retired farmer. On arriving at tho grave, the officiating clergyman, the Rev. W. Boris lord, viear of St. Luke’s I.eok, pointed out that tbo corpee’s feet would not point to the east ward, and although tbo sexton told him that tho gravo was in a similar position to hundreds of others, and showed him tho bead- stonos in confirmation, the clergy man Insisted upon bis point, refer ring to tho difficulty which wonid be experienced on tho day of res-' urrection if Ihe oorpie was placed otherwise than with his foot to the east. A rule was procured, when it wus found that the gravo would just take the coffin the reverse way, and the ceremony waa then proceeded with.

Words of a True Man. Medl-satoa. Tbc Augusta News, a few days ago, remarked that husbands gen erally dined out on cleaning up days. 11 never was more mistaken. Some married men may, but true husbands never. Tbo writer has been married slnco 1847, and bu never saw tho day that be prefer red dining away from bis family, lie, like all other busbnuds that appreciate their wives, bod rather eat bread and water only at home than sit down to the inoal sump tuous dinner unaccompanied ny bis wife.
