"The leaves of the elder if strewn among
corn or other grain when it is put into the
bin will efectually preserve it from the raw.
ages of the weevil. The juice will
also kill bedbugs and maggots. Insects
never touch elder bushes The leaves OF
elder scattered over cabbages, cucumbers,
ssuashes and other plants subject to the
ravages of insects, effectually shields them
The plum and other fruits may be saved by
placing on the brances and among them

In sH LATIN The following is said to
be portion of the suppressed testimony in
the trial of the assassins:
Judge Holt-Mr. Murphy, were you at
Ford's Theater on the night of the assassin

Mr. Murphy.-I was, indeed, yer honor.
Judge Holt.-Did you see j. Wilkes
Booth jump from the box after shooting,
the President?
Mr.. Murphy.-Bad cess to him, 1 did
yer honor.
Judge Holt.-Did you hear what be said,
and if so, what was it ?
Mr. Murphy-I heard what he said very
well, yer honor; and all be said was I'm
sick; sead for Meginnis." [Sic Semper ty-

PETROLEUM IN AsIA-It seems almost
surprising that petroleum should have been
known so many hundred years without being
turned to some practical account by human
enterprise Natural oil-springs have been
known in Asia and some parts of Europe
from very early period but the idea of
boring into the earth and reaching the res
ervoir from which they are supplied never
occurred to any one until the extraordinary
development of the Pennsylvania oil region
by American energy. And now, strangely
enough, citizen of the United States is
the first to call attention to this important
source of wealth in the old world, and un-
der his direction such results have already
been secured as to promise to create petro-
leum fever in Europe something akin to
that experienced in the United States. Col.
Gowan, of Boston, who, it will be remem-
bered, had the contract for raising the Rus
sian ships sunk in the harbor of Sebastopol,
accidentally stumbled last year upon some
oil wells in the Sea of Azof, which he
bought, and the company formed by him,
and now operating them, has just paid a
handsome dividend. He has also purchased
fifteen acres of ground on the Island of Sa.
mos, including the identical oil springs spo-
ken of by Herodotus, 450 years before
Christ, but which no one from that day tc
this thought of turning to use. The fact
that this spring still flows would seem to in
dictate that the supply of petroleum which
may be drawn from the bowels of the earth
is practically nexhaustible. 1t is not un
likely that deposits of petroleum are to be
found much more generally distributed
through the earth than has hitherto beer
supposed

Has with thy love perished,
And now l am free.
No more can ! meet thee,
Thou falsehearted one,
Or with smile greet thee,
As oft have done.
But banished forever
Are memories of thee;
care not if never
You once think of me.
Farewell, then, thou false eHs,
Thy love l resign,
Nor am l undone
Since false love was thine,
Ineer shall regret
That thus we did sever
But ask to forget
Forever and ever.
