THE LECONTE PEAR.
So many inquiries continue to flow in
abont this pear that it would seem nec
essary to employ a correspondent to per
petually repeat its history and charac
teristics. I£ everybody subscribed for
this magazine, we would endeavor to
to write one exhaustive article on the
subject, but now. we shonld have to re
publish said articlo about every two
months, and that would be impractica
ble. Ever ready, however, to accommo
date all inquiress to the best of our
ability, we proceed to repeat, briefly,
some of tbe things heretofore Baid
about this famous pear.
Its origin is not known, but under
stood to be a cross between the old
Chinese sand (a worthless fruit) and
some good pear,which gave the LeCon
te the extraordinary vigor and fruitful
ness of the Chinese sand, and the juicy
excellence of the good pear. The pa
rent tree-is in Liberty county, Georgia,
sent there forty years ago by Major Le-
Conte (now dead), and is the greatest
bearing pear tree of any pear tree known,
having borne thirty-nine bushel* of
pears at a singleJ.erop. It has no “off
years,” but continues to bear the same
heavy crops every year; has shown no
disease, blight or 'insect destroyer up
to this date. It received, its* name from
Major LoConte.
During the^ t eml war, the breaking
up of society in LibertyEcounty dis
tributed many of its most intelligent
and useful citizens along among the
southern counties of Georgia, border
ing upon the Florida line, and some of
those citizens took with them to Thom
as county cuttings of the parent tree,
then called the Chinese sand pear. Tho
cuttings grew readily, produced fruit in
three and four years, aud attracted the
attention of the horticultural society of
that county. That society gave it the
name of the introducer, recommended
it to fruit growers, and it soon acquir
ed a wide reputation. Small orders for
the youug trees have been filled for
many sectious in the South, and some
have ordered largely, but the supply
has been limited aud many of them not
filled. Thomas county is the chief prop
agating locality up to this time, and she
will be able to supply between live thou
sand aud eight thousand plants this fall.
The plants sell readily at one dollar
each, one year oldj^from the cutting,
and are from one to ten feet in height,
according to soil and management.
They often grew fifteen feet high in a
single season. After the roots are form
ed tho young plants are exceedingly
hardy; may be kept out of the ground
for a considerable time, if kept damp,
and grow readily with great vigor, on
almost all kinds of soil, *but luxuriate
in a deep, rich sandy loam.
The plants (rooted) ’may be'pufc^ou%
from October to March, and the cut
tings from August to March. There is
no certainty abont rooting the cuttings
—no management, science or experi
ence have yet discovered the secret of
their flokleness. The most careless
management has sometimes been success
fnl side by side with utter failure on tbe
part of science and experience . . They
remind ns of the old negroe’s explana
tion of bis absent master’s coming: “If
he come, he come; if hejio come, he
no come.”
The frnit of this pear is bell-shaped,
of a rich creamy, yellow Color when
ripe, very smooth and fine looking, and
one of the best pears we have for ship
ping, They ripen in July, and are sold
in Northern markets the*present season
for §4.50Jper crate of one bushel each

Wgaa^T^q Nickle Conns From.—
Few people are aware that the nickle
from wliich oar smaller coins are made,
comes from a single-mine, which is the
only one in the country that is now be
ing worked. This mine is situated in
Lancaster county, Pa. It has been
worked for seventeen years, and devel
oped to a depth of two hundred feet.
The length of this lode is between two
and three thousand feet, and it produ
ces from four to six hundred tons per
month, employing in the working of
the mine a force of one ’hundred and
seventy-five men. j§In the arts, nickle
is rapidlytfgrowing into favor, as a
substitute tor silver in pU, ting steel, iron,
aud p|bpr metals. Its commercial de
mand is rapidly increasing; and as it is
much cheaper than silver, it will un
doubtedly be adopted in the manufac
ture of many articles as a substitute for
that more precious metal. One mine,
the Minela Motto tract, Missouri, was
was worked from 1850 to 1855. The
ore was the sulphuret, associated with
lead and copper. Abont §100,000 was
realized from the croppings of the vein.
Croppings of nickle are found also in
Madison, Iron, and Wayne counties,
Missouri. The refined metal is worth
three dollars per pound.
Cettwaxo’s surrender to his British
captors was a dignified one. Finding
escape impossible hetasked to be shot,

LITERATURE AND JORNALISM
CONTRASTED
In a paper in Scribner for October on
“.Tonraalism as exemplified by the
late Mr. Bagehot,” the writer sayst
Literature aud journalism are not on
ly very distinct, they are very far apart;
they are m some particulars almost ir
reconcilable. Tbe one point which they
have in common is^tlmt the profsssors
of both express ideas by means of al
phabetic writing. Authors usually
write short articles before they write
books, and these ore printed in news
papers. It thus happens that there
are few^men of letters, particularly in
this country, who have not written in
newspapers. This is about the sum of
connections between the two pursuits.
In almost all tpespeets they are separate.
The success of a man of letters depends
upon the high excellence of his few
productions. The success of the jour
nalist depends upon the average excel
lence of his many writings. One, or
ten, or a hundred goodarticles.no more
make «^,good| journalist than one swal
low makes-a summer. In the next
pia ce literature is written to last. Bnt
in writing for newspapers it should
never be torgotton that that which is
written to-day mast be printed to-mor
row, and ^iU have been turned int
wrapping paper,,by the day;following.
The truth is that very fine writing is out
of place in newspapers. The capacity
for doing and writing is rather a disad
vantage® than an advantage for the
journalist. The journalists who possess
this abitity succeed rather in spite of it
than on account of it. A strong desire
to say things perfectly is a hindrance
to a newspaper writer. There is not
apt to be more than one perfect expres
sion of a thought, and a writer who
has, who thinks he has, achieved this
does not care to express it in another
and a cheaper way. Now if there Is
one thing in which a journalist must
excel it is in the capacity for incessant
and infinitely varied repetition. The
Journalist should not, therefore, think
of himself as a literary man. But he
should think of himself a% a man of
affairs. He should write as if he were
counseling the public as to what they
should do in the business of the day,
and he should'givev to that council the
best reflection which the well-known
and understood limitations of his busi
ness will allow. A newspaper writer
should not make the writing of pleasing
articles the object of his life. The sole
aim of the literary artist, like other ar
tists, is very properly to please. But
it willl net do for the journalist to
make a pursuit of tickling men’s ears;
he mast seek to effect things. If the
journalist’s object is merely to write
pleasing articles, his is one of tbepoorest
business in the.world. Thia is almost
tho only trade in which the worker
does not improve as he grows older.
The writer of pleasing articles is no
better at fifty than at thirty; indeed he
is not so good, for at fifty he has lost
the zest in ink and, paper and a fresh
proof which he liad at thirty. In all-
most all callings the mind is constantly
getting 'new thoughts, which instruct
it for the future, and the judgement ,is
undergoing, from day to day, a process
ot education which never panses.
“Shall Ido this or that?” the nS worker
asks himself almost honrly, and in his
own mind argues the “pros” and “cons”
of-the oase with thoughts which are
scarcely ever turned into language;
Which, indeed, most.men would be -in-
caple of taming into langaage. It is
only the journalist who takes the right
view of his business who gains with
years this eduction of the judgement.
His facts increase rapidly; his studious
ly formed ideas have been corrected
by the observation of events which have
token place under his own eyes; his
opinion, therefore, is worth more at
fifty than at thirty; his judgement is
stronger and he is an abler man. Not
only will his writing he more profiting
and instrncting to the reader: to seri
ous readers it will even be more pleasing.
THEiLATE DECLINE TN„COTTON.
Notwithstanding that cotton opened
on the 1st inst. at the fair price of life,
that the experience of the year past had
demonstrated.that s crop, of 5,000,000
bales was not too mnoh for the wants
of the; world, and that during the
spring and summer last spot cotton had
ad vauced.to‘12fc., and ‘-futures” had
been quoted at a considerably higher
figure evenThan that; and notwiahstand--
ing too that the crop this year was sever
al weeks laferthan last year, and the pro
tracted drought of-tash spring, together
with caterpillars, rust and various
unfavorable circumstances later on-oll
combined to make the present crop a
short one; sitll, in sp%e of sR fhess
reasons for anticipating that’a.fair aver
age range of prices would be steadily
maintained, the.stuple has rapidly de
clined, quotations for middling yester
day being 9jo., a falling off during the
past three weeks of abont lfo. per
pound.
The reasons to be assigned for this
decline are, first, the depressed condi
tion of the trade in England. Many
millsjhere have olosedj.doorsjaltogeth-
er, in others the operatives are on a
strike against a reduction of wages,
while in others still the short time sys
tem has been adopted, Thus in various
ways the demand for the raw material
abroad has been largely) lessened and
the cotton trade is entirely unsettled.
Again, operations seem at this time to
be mainly confined to the speculators,
who, by means of combinations, every
now and then force the staple np or
down as they can control the market—
a condition of affairs'which gis anything
bat healthy. Besides thesp, although
the crop is later than was the .case 'last
year, still it is being rnshed now [quite
quite freely to the market, notwith
standing that there is, as we have stated
no steady and health^ demand. These
are, we have no*doubt, the reasons why
cotton eowiaaods at^this low figures.
This state of affairs ,| it is evident,
cannot long continue. There is really
no telling how soon orders m ay crowd
upon the English'mills, and thereby
cause a sudden and extensive demand,
which’will immediately oause prices to
advance. When this revival of foreign
trade may occur no one :an tell, but it
may, we think,.be stated aa a^oertainty
that the experience of last year will be
repeated this, and thut before the close
of the season’-kigh prices will’, again
prevail.
In view of all^the facts $pd reasona
ble probabilities,it certainlyis better that
planters who can do so should, hold
back their crops. To sell in a dull sea-
son’like the present, !isS.certainly v to - en
sure them small ruturns, while, to say
the least, the chauces for future im
provement are much greater tiian ftr
any long coutiuued declinej.from pres
ent figures.** Of course many planters are
fromivariouscanses’-unable.to hold their
crops but for those who can do so, it
seems* to us by far their wisest course,—

An Honest Confesion
Of Gen. Albert t Sidney Johnston it is
related that one day in Utah when his
command was two days distant from a
mailing station, he found that a cap
tain had returned to the camp forget
ting to post a letter which the General
had entrusted to him. But all the
commander said was.- “I£can imagine
no excuse for such carelessness, Cap
tain.” Not long Rafter, the General
himself,.discovered* in.a winter coat,
which had been packed away, a letter
which long time before he had reeeived
from the surgeon, with the request
that he post it. He had_ taken it to
the station; torgotton to post it,) and
GeneralLee asked a.s
whom he found eating green persim
mons, if he did not know they were
.unfitfor food. ‘Tam not eating them
forfood, General,” replied the maD,
“I’m eating them to draw my stomach
nptcgt my rations.”
it had remained in the pocket for six
months. The conscientious General
first apologized to the snrgeon, and
then be sent for the captain and said;
“I beg yogr pardon for reproving yon
for an offence in which I myself set the
example.” •
A Growl at^Oub Legislators.—T fce
Legislature of Georgia has refused to
prohibit its members from accepting
free passes on railroads. Tbe refusal
might have been based on the ground
that legislators onght to have sense of
honor and decency enongh to decline
such compromising favors without be
ing compelled to do so by law; bat it
was ppt. The members were indignant
not that their integrity shonld be doubt
ed, bnt that their long enjoyed privi
lege of getting free passes should be en
dangered, and they hastened to lay tbe
proposition very emphatically npon the
table. It is a significant fact that
in this connection that the Georgia Ieg-
islature has voted to release a railroad
from the payment of a large nmonnt of

RE AT, ESTATE IN LEADVILLE.
The October Scribner contains a nota
ble paper on LeadvRle, written by Ern
est Ingersoll, and illustrated by Mrs,
Mary Hallcck Foote and Mr J H. Mills,
from which we quote this account of an
interesting phase of mining life:
All this excitement and influx of mas
ses of men and the consequent irregular
squatting anywhere os* unoccupied
ground, began at once to produce dis
cord and a fever of speculation in real
estate. A certain, corporation claimed,
to ova tbe whole town-site nnder a pat
ent from the government, and tried to
exact payment from every tenant; but
the illegality of this was asserted, aud
pending decisions.* everybody not only
laughed at the company put proceeded
to buy and sell original squattei-claims
as though no better title was ever in ex
istence—a supposition probably true at
that time. Town lots rose from noth
ing to fabulous prices in a day, and for
tunes were made and opportunities neg
lected accordingly.
Next came a period of “jumping,’’that
is, getting forcible or fraudulent posses
sion of property. Men would call with
paper having a legal appearance and
politely inform some man occupying the
cabin they coveted that they had bought
the property from the owuer.
“You know, pard,” they would re
mark affably, “that you just settled
down here ’cause it was convenient like,
and nobody said nothing about it; bat
now the owner thinks he orter have
some good from his property, and we’ve
bought it. We don’t want to be onpleas
ant, but it looks like .yoijt’d have to va
moose.”
“That’s all right,—no offense,” the
shaggy-headed cottagers would reply,
quietly; “bail reckou ef the owner ox
anybody else wants this yere cabin
they’ve got to take it, and they’ve got
to hold over me, and get up ’ally in the
mornin’, too,” and he lays a loving
hand upon the hilt of his six-shooter,
while the would-be-jumpers anathema
tize their way ontof the door.'
There wore, however, clear cases of
tenancy of land where no title was held,
and here tbe occupant, if unruly, was
likely to fiud his cabin timbers falling
about his ears iu the middle of the
night, under the vigorous stroke of a
band of citizens who proposed to see
the real owner put into possession then
aud there. Heedless fellows would in-
sistwpon putting their trading shanties
or dwellings-housea anywhere in tbe
streets aud alleys set apart for public
use, and then down would come a
squad of police, hitch a span of horser
to the underpinning and raze the ob
struction in ten minutes. Hard words
were a matter of course injall these lit
tle public and private transactions in
real estate and every day or two a man
was shot or beaten half to death; bnt
public opinion and the numerous wit
nesses quickly and loudly decided the
right of the case,and thecoromer’s jury
was very likely to formulate the popu
lar verdict. Truth to say, 'tii& voxpqpu-
li in these cases was usually atiout right.
Outside of a case of robbery by “bunko
thieves,” if a man gets shot in Lead-
ville, it is safe to conclude that he has
got his deserts.
Speculation in town-lots did not last
very long, however, and now real estate
is down to a pretty solid basis of value.
The probability is that the future will
see a decline in prices, as a whole, rath
er than enhancing of the value of real
estate within the corporate limits, as
no doubt Leadville has seen her highest
tide-mark of population.
HQ9SSN WITCHCRAFT.
One year ago two boys in Zanesvlle, {
O., got into a quarrel, and one was eat-
in the head by a stone thrown by the ]
other, named DarnelL The wound bled
profusely, and the mother of the injur
ed boy followed his assailant to, his
home, gave bigg, &. sharp talking to for
his crigal conduct* and, in the presence
of the Darnell boy and his mothe, ex
pressed the wish that the boy might
loose tbo nse of a foot, or that one of
bis feet might be raised from the floor,
never be permitted to^kpnpto it again,,
short time after this the Darnel boy,
npon whom this nnnatnral curse was
pronounced, was attacked with a pain
in the hip, which grew worse day. by
day, T he'cords'of his leg finally began
to contract, and his knee gradually
bent, until, alarmed at the situation,
physician was called in. The physician
treated him for intractable iheu^nar
tisrn, but he got no better. It began
to shrivel np and becnme’$$i absolute
deforiipjte, and withal very painful. Fi-
nairy the family changed physicians,
aud the second one pronounced it hip dis
ease at once, and so treated it, His leg
was lanced, aud, though at first; confin
ed to his bed, he was soon able to use
crutches. A few weeks ago the mother
was called to the bedside of the boy by
his piteous cries, aud complains of
something crawling up his leg. Brea
ently the pain all concentrated at the
sore, and the boy in the presence of his
mother, with his fingers pulled out of
the sore a few hairs matted together,
lot of thread, some very coarse, and
small piece of something resembling
piece of match. Aronnds this substance
was very tightly wound a white cotton
thread. Tbe wound bled profusely af
ter these articles were-extracted. This
operation has since been repeated
number of times, and on Wednesday]
small piece of bone comb, with the teeth
broken off, was taken out. A woman
ia the neighborhood claims to have
power over witches, aud says she will
cure the boy thereby.—Cincinnati En
