A Child’s Demotion.
CARL MICMMrNQER.
Chapter 11.
I entered. And there, upon the
floor, lay a man, an invalid, whose
pale, emaciated face, and hollow
sunken eyes almost made mo shudder
as I beheld them.
There was no fire, Two children,
a boy of eight and a girl of five,
crouched by the side of the low bed,
vainly endeavoring to keep warm.
There wore no chnirs, no cupboard,
no dishes, no wardrobe or trunk, no
comforts ut .di—utter destitution.
I went to the invalid man, and
!• ad started to ask him a question
relative to himself, when I was struck
dumb by recognizing the man who
lay before me.
“Louis Melbourne!” I exclaimed
when I had recovered from my sur
prise enough to say anything.
We had been classmates at College
and had kept the blaze of friendship
b rning years thereafter. He went
away, and I had not seen or heard of
him for many years. lie had been
wealthy once, hut now he was but a
wreck of his former self.
The man looked at me along time,
without speaking, then light began
to rfeak into his eyes, nnd he held
out his hand to me, and he said
“Carl 1”
I had him removed to rAy own res
idence, and soon had him in a Warm
bed and comfortable. Under the in
fluences thrown around him he soon'
began to improve.
“Carl,” said he to me one day,
“you do not know what a treasure I
have had in my little girl. I should
have died long ago had it not been
for her attention, I lost all my prop
erty by fire some years since, when I
was on the road to fortune. Since
that time my svife died, and it lias
been as much as I could do to get
along. Until about *year ago, when
I wtvs taken down with rheumatism,
I could manage to get along; but
through the last year our support
has fallen upon my little girl. She
has never complained, and her devo
tion is truly wonderful. When 6he
has made friends and they have given
Ler presents, she has always, preserv
ed them for her brother and sister.”
I thought that he would get well,
but I was mistaken. Ho took a re
lapse, and died in a few weeks.
The child, en have always been the
light of my household.
[the end.]
A little boy, carrying some eggs
home from the store dropped them.
“Did you break any ?” asked his
mother when lie told her of it.
“No,’’said the little “but
the shells came off some of’em.
If there is anything iu the world
more dangerous than a buz-saw it
must he nitric acid. A German
essayist, in speaking upon this
subject, says that when “Eenaoyl
naphtylamide is treated with ni
tric acid, two isomeric menonitro*
benzoylnaphtylamides are formed
—one yielding monoeamidobezo
naphtylamide, the other ankydro
benzodiamidonaphtatene !” Of
course ear reader will appreciate
this iinformation.

Harris of the Savannah News is
probably as bad a boy as wields the
pungent quill, in Georgia. Here is
the way he thumps Joey Brown, In
the riba:
It is said that the students in the
State University have to spread the
butier on their bread mighty thin.
The Trustees are supposed to be ta
king steps to interdict fritters and
molasses pudding. Jos Brown’s
blue-stem codards will be used at din
ner and fried over for supper.

Orange Culture in Couth Georgia
According to Dr. W. B. Folks,
oiks of the editors of the Valdos
ta Times, the opinion that oranges,
can be raised In (Southern Georgia
has just been verified.. JuSt after
the war, Mrs. Ligbtsey, residing at
Dupont, on the Atlantic and Gulf
Railroad, received trom Florida a
barrel of swoct oranges. She
planted tho seed in drills in her
yard and on her plantation, a lew'
miles from Waycross. They came
up, grew finely, and are now la
den with a full crop of the golden
fruit. These trees are now in the
third year of bearing. They have
withstood the slight frost and cold
of this climate, and have not been
attacked by any blight, or inject.
The fruit is fully matured, sweet
and good, and in no wise differ
from tho Florida orange. The
fruit is in all styles, fronx the
bloom, half grown to full ripe.
These experimental groves are in a
luxuriant state of growth and give
promise of fully demonstrating the
fact that oranges can he successful
ly grown in Southern Georgia.
It is also proper to remark that
Mrs. Lightsey lias a large demand
■ for het orange* at A cent apiece
on the threes.
Dr. Folkes continue* : “This
perhaps being the most extensive
experiment tried in the orange
Culture iu this section, we take
pleasure ia introducing •‘sugges
tion of Mr. i . F. Hunt* an od*ea
te4*and scientific gentleman, who
is a machinist, and has traveled
and witnessed the growth of or
anges in different latitudes- lie ug
gests that evergreens be planted*in
drills,east and west, and the or
ange trees be set on the south, side
of these evergreens, which will be
a protection from the frost and
cold noTth winds, following the
principle of growing small fruits
iu the Northern States and Eu
rope—on tlie Boutli side of the
brick or stone walls—also, that a
stump or log be kept burning at
the cold Changes of weather, the
smoke being a sure preventive
against blight by frost. We re
gard these suggestion as behftg val
uable as an introduction to the or.
ange culture in our soction.
Knowing our soil to be well adap
ted to the growth of such fruit,
other improvements will soon fol
low, and Southern Georgia will
soon contribute a full share of a
tropical product.—Now it will
take but little trouble or expense
to plant a grove of an acre in or
ange trees ; do it, good people of
Southern Georgia. Make the ex
periment, follow the plan here laid
down—you have but little to risk
—and you may be giad you are
the fortunate owner of such a val
uable piece of property.”
The Macon Telegraph & Messen
ger is deservedly the merst popular
newspaper published in Georgia.
The Telegraph is the first paper that
we remember to have read, in our
early childhood and we expect to be
a constant reader of it as long as we
live. Though we have a large num
ber of exchanges "nour table, yet we
would not be without the Telegraph
& Messenger for any amount of mon
ey. It is to day the most solid, sta
ble and reliable newspaper in the
State. Long may it flourish to lead
conservative journalism of thg Em
pire State.
