A writ* In the Quitman South
says: While at Oualcy I counted
on a pomegranate tree in my broth
er J. A. Ousley’s back yard, 185
pomegranates. An sore planted in
pomegranates, 15x10, would con
tain 315 trees, and these would
average In four years fifty to the
tree, making a total to the acre
15,750 pomegranates, and these, at
4 cents apiece, would yield a yearly
income of $730 to the acre of trees.
These trees, attaining age, will
yield as the one named above.
This Iruit is said to furnish for the
sick room the finest acid known—
superior to the lemon—and will
keep after being cut for days, no
none of it is lost, ft makes a fine
beverage for those who arc well.
Properly prepared with nice white
sugar Is exceedingly toothsome.
Our climate suits the pomegranate,
they flourish here, and I am glad
to sec some aro turning their at
tention to the growing of this de
licious fruit, and soon to be the
most popular fruit grown. In
our LeContc pears and pomegran
ates south Georgia has a boom.
Tho Emperor of Annam has a
large piece of water in his palace,
in which lie keeps his reserve treas
ure, to bo touched only in case of
absolute necessity. The money
not intended for use is placed in
the hollowed-out trunks of trees,
wliioli are thrown into the water
To keeo away thieves, and prevent
the King himself from being tempt
ed to draw upon this reserve fund
without sufliciont cause, a number
of crocodiles nre kept in the water,
their piesence, and the certainty
of being eaten alive acting as a
wholesome rcstrnincr and Insuring
the security ol the royal treasure
in a most effectual manner. When
it becomes indispensable to draw
upon this novel style of bank the
crocodiles have to be killed: but
this can be done only with the Em
peror's permission, and after the
matter ims been duly approved by
the Minister of Finance.
Fay Tampieton, of opcra-bouflc
fame, is the daughter of Mr. John
Tcmplotou, the Southern manager.
Sbo was born Cristmas night, 1865,
at her father's homo in Floridn.
The papers in announcing Fay’s
birth said that a now star had come
to tho manager’s company in tho
person of a daughter. Some days
after this Mr. Temploton received a
letter from n Western manager
saying, “Cau give your daughter
six nights for her best piece.
Wlmt aro the lowest terms?” The
answer returned was: “All right.
My daughter is sixteen days old,
and best act is a crying chorus; but
wait sixteen ycais, when, if her
voice docs not break, sho shall
come to you ns a star.” The en
gagement was filled.
