B?MBERO/iOcfc.. 15?Ifcmay be of gen-: eral interest to know whaf; new agricul? tural enterprises are springing up among tbe farmers of this section of the country. These new-enterprises are generally the offspring of necessity, occasioned by the unprofitableness of cotton raising. A pleasant drive yesterday afternoon in company, ,-with J>t~-0., IX ,Eaustrof. this town, to bia plantation, situated about six milesjDUtheaat of .Bamberg,- brought your correspondent faceSto face with'-one:' of these new?p'erhaps-th'e- latest?ibdus-' tries, a pecan orchard. Several years ago Dr. Faust found cot? ton growing unprofitable to him, and be determined to. rent out his lands and practice his profession; But before leav? ing the farm be planted a small orchard of pecan trees. He was convinced that peacRus would do well and bear.'fruit fully by an experiment of>hiB^inj[)thei?s,'who fifteen years ago, planted some of the pecans in her garden, never dreaming, perhaps,.that at her age she.,would, live to enjoy any of the benefits of her exper? iment, as she was then 65 years of age. But, to the contrary, those trees came up, grew and thrived, and several years before her death bore fair crops of nuts. Now these same trees will .yield 40 to 50 pounds to the tree, of the finest pecans your correspondent ever saw.; fc, ... ? ^-H Dr. Faust at first planted only a few acres.about eleven years ago, and the trees of that orchard are beginning to bear very nicely. Two years ago this crop was growing so finely that he was encour? aged to-plant :|wenty=five acres,Nailer which in a few years will be bearing well ! 'Dr. Fau8t;say8i.they are of* very, little trouble to raise/as they are as hardy, as a hickory tree, and ;as little liable to be disturbed by stock. - The' only difficulty he has ever found in raising tbem is at . the, beginning, therground moles will -destroy i some of the seed, and a little later on something will burrow out the roots. He examined to find the cause, and found the roots to be very sweet,- and concludes that the sweetness accounts for their destruction by tbe. unknown destroyer. ?^ t . !?, ? Of Cjourse it "requires a^ongU?me and, I .much patience to: wait for anything like a substantial revenue from a crop of pe? cans, but not greater than that required in the orange-growing industry of Florida - and California; :*n^when,r once the' orchard ^established," n?thing^lifce' r?in 1 or drought,- heat or c?l? ^an*materially affect them.

Black's, S, C, Oct. 24.?In attempt? ing to dig a well on their place, near this town, on the line of the Three C's Rail? road, the By en Bros.,, farmers, found that which may be of more Value to tbem than water, and in the meantime of inter? est to all. At a depth of twenty feet they struck a limestone formation, which gave out a hollow sound under tbe tools used in. further progress of the work. '?; A few feet of the atone had been removed, and a workman,.striking the point of a'bar forcibly into an apparent seam in tbe rock, was surprised, first, to Bee a hole open under him, and to see his bar- die-' I appear wholly from sight, the rush of air following this breakthrough the may.be I roof j of ..a large cave or cavern, was accompanied by a loud noise and contin? ued into, tbe next day. The workmen were terrified, .and hastily leaving the well;; refused to' return to tbe work. Later the depth of the hole was attempt? ed to be measured by use of a long pole, but it failed to reach anything s?lidj":and ?when dropped 'gave: back':no'i'.oounckto those who listeued;at the^operiing. ^ '' Ajfi this conncc^pjoM^ remembered hat"a well dog ^upon tbehNorth'west-side of Whit taker Mountain, some years, ago, was-abandoned for some reason?the dis? covery of a large cavern without apparent bottom.

A Vincennes, Ind., special ? to the Cin? cinnati Enquirer says: There occurred at the Kaox County Fair a scene never I before witnessed by.'the oldest resident," and one that will be remembered to their dying day by all who saw it. It was a rattling fight between two stallions The animals were being exhibited, when a team of horses ran away and darted among the blooded stock.. IcBtantly all was commotion. The blooded mares began neighing, wMiich two stallions seemd to interpret as a sort of battlecry. They broke away from tbeir keepers and dashed at each other like mad. Both snorted terribly, and tbe fire seemed to j' flash from their eyes. With open jaws they bit each other's necks, pawing and tearing up the ground for a space of twenty feet. At last by some means they got loose, and, each backing, a few feet, they whirled and commenced kicking each other.. The sharp corks on the hind shoes.dresrblood from the flanks of each and left enormous welts and cuts. Then one of them, with an instinct that seemed human, suddenly whirled to the right and grabbed his opponent by the neck, trying at the same time to get his forefeet npon his shoulders. They struggled and .struggled, the sweat and blood pouring from their wounds. The farmers about were panic stricken. A couple of cow boys got stout ropes and tried to lasso them. This was no easy effort,, and at? tended with considerable danger. Before it was accomplished the animals made a final vicious dash at. each other, and while linked in each other's ferocious embrace the cowboys got in their work and succeeded in securing them. Tbey were delivered over to the keepers, who led them away covered with blood, limp? ing lame and sore., No such scene ever before transpired in onr midit, and is the talk of the County"! ? The rains in Mexico have ceased and all the waters are receding. Official figures state that the losses throughout the country by tbe floods exceed $3,000, 000. _ . ? A new use for worn but saws has been found. Instead of throwing tbem in the yard or sanding them to the junk shop they are gathered up and used for the making of surgical and engineering instruments. The enterprising individ? ual who originated this economical way of providing himself with"first class ma? terial at fourth-class prices seems tobe making tbe fortune he deserves. The waste of a few years ago seems to make the fortunes of nowadays. ? Voltaire said: "In twenty years Christianity will be no more. My single band shall destroy the edifice it took twelve Apostles to rear." Some years after his death, his very printing press was employed in printing.

Flood; * v Mr. Flood is dying at Heidelberg, Ger? many, cf fatly, degeneration of the kid? neys, thT disease whichTwas discovered (not invented) fifty years ago by . Dr. Richard Bright and still bears bis name, and which has in the last score of years become epidemic among rich champaign drinking Americans. He. may be dead "beforVthese lines;reach'^Vreader. Not all Jiis "mUlions;'can. boy "a^moment's delay.'*' Let every bealty poor man who reads give thanks that be enjoyB tbe one thing without which life has no pleasure and which money cannot buy. Mr. Flood is one of the four orignal "bonanza kings." Nowadays tbe name is given to every western man who has 'gathered much money ; but it belongs of right- only to :FIObd; Mackey, Fair and O'Brien, because they, discovered and owned the "bonanza," or enormeus vein of silver ore in the Comstock lode at Virginia City, Nevada, from which more than two hundred million dollars worth of fine silver has been taken ?tbe largest deposit ever discovered. .-.The whole four were Irish-Americans. Flood ?was:born in New York city in 1826. What he did from that time till 1849. when, he was twenty-three years, old, is.- not known. Iu '49 he went to California, and returned a year later with $3,000. Within a few months he struck up a partnership with W. S. O'Brien who had come from Ireland a. child and was. ?then about'Flood's'ege. ,-Thay.went to California, and hi the spring of 1851 opened a drinking bar in the city of San Francisco. Of course,'they made money; anybody who had whiskey to sell in San Francisc in those days could make money. They also made the acquaintance of Mackey and Fair, who were practical miners, having one week their pockets full of gold dust and the next not the price of a meal. A partnership was en? tered intoinl877, by which^ Flood and O'Brien, the"1*prosperous saloon keepers, furnished the money to keep Mackey and Fair, the adventurous miners, in the fields This arrangement resulted in the 'acquisition of the Comstock lode, Which had been discovered in 1859, and yielded fairly well from the start. It was not, nowever, till 1875 that thu bonanza, tbe .richest find that mortal miners ever made was strack- From that day these four uneducated Irish-Americans have been numbered among the world's greatest capitalists. And it ia to be said of them and for them that they all had capacity enough to keep their money and handle ItHwel Theyi became greats- bankers, established ;thee Bank of Navoda with H0)D?O,000 capital, and^wrecked the Bank of California, though they after? ward relented and restored it. Fair bought him a Nevada senatorship. Mackey laid an ocean cable, translated his wife from tbe landladyahip of a log boarding house in a mining camp to the leadership of fash ion in Paris, and mar* ried his daughter io the prince off Colonna, who has one of the,longest ped? igrees ionEurope. Flood never got into golitics, nor much into the newspapers, nt he built himself a palace on Nob Hill, San Francisco, and ? another at Menlopark,a fashionable seaside resort!" on tbe Pacific coast, and he made his money felt in.tbe mining-stock'exchange. .? O'Brien died ten years ago.. Fair and Mackey, who are several years younger, j and who:mined while Floqd,and O'Brien sold 'whisky, are still hale and hearty. Transplanting' Trees. In the the opinion of Viok's Magazine, I an excellent'authority on all such mat? ters, a large proportion of trees is Jost from stransplanting in the spring for the reason that the tops are hot reduced suffi iently.w. The tree, as it is received from je nursery-may have a well formed ead, anrXpne does not want to see it de , ^rmedJ":not knowing that it is a necessity, |}pGrhapt?,;to its^'life, certainly to its well? doing, and also that the surest way to preserve the head in good form is to cut back severely all tbe ybucg branches. In the same way shrubs, and especially rose bushes, are transplanted with the desire to see bloom at once, and with the result of a feeble growth the first year. The danger of such newly transplanted subjects in a dry time and under a scorching sun in very great. On the I other hand, if tbe branches are closely pruned, growth usually proceeds prompt? ly, and at tbe close of autumn tbe plants are amply provided with new, well ripened wood, able to bear tbe coming cold season. The dangers that attend tree, planting in spring time are greatly ^^'enejd^byrf very eariy^mlanting, btty (.usually early~pldoting i3v<impracticable, and therefore the most careful attention afterwards is demanded. In our own experience the best success.has resulted in transplanting trees and shrubs in tbe I fall, in properly prepared soil, and giving 1 winter protection by mulching with litter or leaves. 'Such subject? usually start to grow promptly in spring, and have al? ready made a fine growth before spring planted trees have started. We do not hesitate to advise fall planting in climates' not more aav are than our own.

An Ansonia lawyer was sitting on the step's of the Central House, in New town, Conn , on Saturday, when a pretty young lady passed out of the hotel and up the street. ''Taere goe< a remarkably pretty girl,'' exclaimed a gentleman converging with him, "and there's q'lite a little ro* mance connected with her, too." The legal gentleman was all attention at once as his friend continued : "Sho belongs down in Baltimore and ber father is a wealthv liquor dietillerof that city. She's got a cool $200,000 .in ber own right and a decisiveness about her that means business. She located at the George Hotel, Black Kock, this sum? mer, corning there all alone. A young man sitting al; her table attracted her attention. She spoke to him one evening after be bad met ber but three times and she broke him nil up by asking him if be was married. He replied that he was too poorly situated for marriage just then; he hadn't much money and had to sup? port his father. 'Well, I've plenty of money,' she said; 'why don't you marry me?' The young man embraced both the proposition and the young lady. She returned to her borne in Baltimore, told her father about tbe circumstance, got bis consent and returned to Black Bock with her father,, was married in Bridge* port, and she and ber husband are passing the remainder cf the season in Newtown as happy as turtle doves."

A young man is invited by vicious companions to visit tbe theatre or tbe gambling-room, or other haunts of licen? tiousness. He becomes dissipated, spends his time, loses his credit, squanders prop? erty, and at las( sinks into an untimely grave. What ruined him? Simply "do? ing what the rest did." A father has a family of eons. He is wealthy. Other children in the same sit? uation in life do so, are indulged in this thing and that. He indulges bis own in the same way. They grow up idlers, triflers and fops. Tbe father wonders why his children do not succeed better. He has spent so much money on their education, has given tbem so great advantages; but alas, they are only a Burce of trouble and vexation. Poor, man, he, is just paying the penalty of doing as the rest did." This poor mother strives hard to bring up ber child genteelly. They learn what others do?to paint, to sing, to play, to dance, and several useful matters. In time-they marry; their husbands are unable to support their extravagance, and they are reruced to wretchedoess. Tbe good .woman is astonished. "Truly," says she, "I did as tbe rest did."

It is said on the best authority that 30,000,000 bushels of salt are consumed in this country. Tbe a re rage American gets away with fifty pounds of salt every year. Tbe quantity takes at a time is so small that a person hardly notices it, but a year's consumption of salt by one person is almost a bushel. An Englishman gets along on twenty two pounds a year and in France an ordinary man swallows eighteen pounds between New Year's day and December. If calculations amount to anything there is no danger of a scarcity of tbe sailine article, for a famous statis? tician has declared that if all thesalt in tbe ocean were piled together, it would make a bulk equal to 30,000,000 cubic miles.
