A Foe Coming.

According TO the western journals, an army
of invaders is now marching eastward from the
Rocky mountains, which threatens the United
States with greater and more lasting injuries
than any foreign foe could inflict.
When Colorado began to be settled, wild po-
tato was found on the eastern slope of the
mountains, which was infested by the larvae OF
specie of beetle called Doryphora decemliniata.
This creature soon attacked the cultivated pota-
to, and, under the name of the Colorado potato
bug, began its eastward advance. 1t entered
Wisconsin at the southwest corner, in 1862 !;
northern Indiana in 1867; southern Illinois in
1868, and is now moving on, with its front form
ing an irregular line. extending from the north
western borders of Ohio to places south of Indi-
annapolis. Within seven or eight years, at most,
it threatens to reach the Atlantic coast, and to
destroy or seriously limit the culture of the po-
tato throughout the northern states.
The ravages of the insect are committed in
the larva, which is Matched out of the egg while
the potato plant is young and tender. 1t is de-
scribed as plump "bug," about half an inch
long, of ga Venetian red inclining to a cream
color" black head and a double row of black
spots or "dots" along the side. The eggs are
laid in groups of twenty or thirty on the under
side of the leaf, and the last brood of each sea-
son upon reaching the proper state hide in the
ground until the following spring, ready to be-
gin depredations on the new crop.
No etfectual remedy against this insect has
lowing directions for fighting them:
Watch for the beetles in early spring. when
the vines are just peeping out of the ground
Ensnare as many of them as you can before
they get chance 10 pair, by making a few
small heaps of potatoes 10 the field planted; to
these the beetles will be attracted for food,
and you can easily kill them in the morning.
Keep an eagle-eye for the eggs which are first
deposited Cultivate well by frequently stirring
the soil. Surround your fields on the outside
by rows of such tender-leaved varieties as the
Mercer, Shaker Russell and Early Goodrich;
but, above all, isolate your potato field as much
as possible, either by using land surrounded by
timber or by planting in the centre of corn
field. Carry out these suggestions thoroughly
and you will not have much use for Paris green,
and still less for the scorching remedy"
Some farmers assert that common sawdust
sprinkled on the vines, will drive away the
bugs. But the methods by which they are to
be finally eXterminated do not seem to be salts
factorily ascertained.-N. Y. EUe. Post.

The new revision Of the Bible, now in pro-
gress in England, under the charge of the
Canterbury conyocation, is made with great
care and labor, and, so far as can be learned,
with sound Judgment as well as learning. Mr.
Vance Smith, the only Unitarian member of
the commission, whose cooperation was SO ex-
tremely Objectionable to some OF his colleagues,
gave some information about the work in
speech lately delivered at Birmingham He
thinks that the version will be greatly iu-
proved, hardly any verse standing altogether
unchanged, and yet, SO great care has been
taken to retain the style of the translation
now in use, that "any one hearing it read
would hardly know that it was new version.
The literary value Of the present version of the
Bible can hardly be oyerestimated. 1t has had
more influence than any or all other books in
preserving the language from change and main.
tanning a uniformity of speech in all countries
where the English language is used. The great
advances made within the last two centuries in
linguistic science disclose many inaccuracies in
the text then!used, and many instances of in
adequate rendering; but, with all its faults the
Bible as we have known it would hold its own
against any mOdernized version, however accu-
rate and scholarly, that should sacrifice the IA
miliar style around which all our associations
cling.

NOT TO BE BEATEN.-A New Hampshire
man and man from Ohio CHANGED to meet at a
public dinner in New York The man from
Ohio suggested to himof the Granite state that
it might be advantageous to him to remove to
the West, especially if he proposed to follow
the pursuit of a farmer. The Yankee could not
see it.; there was no state in the Union equal to
New Hampshire. He of the Buckeye state
could not agree to this. Ohio was inferior to
New Hampshire in no respect, while in many
respects she was superior. The Yankee de-
manded to know a superior feature. The Buck
eye commenced to enumerate; but as fast as
he presented his claims of superiority, his an
tagonist unhesitatingly swept them away by
bold and vigorous declarations to the contrary.
At length, when all other sources of argument
had been exhausted, the Buckeye confidently
observed:
''You will at least allow that Ohio Justly
claims superiority over New Hampshire in point
of the extent of the territoryP'
"No, sirP promptly and emphaticaly re-
sponded the Yankee. "Your state spreads out
because it is fiat. Look at the mountains of
New Hampshirel Goodness mercy Just roll
'em out fiat and they'd make territory enough
to cover up the whole of Ohio and fiji up big
slice Of Lake Erie?"

There are people so foolish as to say, though
not TO believe, that there is danger that General
Grant win endeavor to overthrow the republic
and establish on its ruins military despotism.
The malignity and mendacity which can pro-
mitigate such statement while conscious, as
no one can fail to be, of its utter want of foun-
dation, is obscured and lost in the folly which
suppOses that this preposterous invention can
gain credence anywhere, or obtain for its author
or publisher anything but ridicule and contempt.
Still more absurd are the pretended fears of
those who say that if Grant himself does not
wish to hold the government by force, in case he
should not be reelected by the people, the radi-
cal leaders will compel him to establish mon
arehy. Its reported, not on very good authority,
perhaps, that Ex-Governor Holden has expressed
his wish that Grant may be emperor, with his
son to succeed him as emperor" Mr.. Holden has
been lmpeached and removed from his Office of
governor Of North Carolina, either Justly or un-
justly, and bis opinions are now Of small conse-
queDce. We have never had very high opin-
jon of bis wisdom or patriotism, but we do not

A SINGULAR PREDICTION FULFILLED
Robert Coniugsby writes as follows to the Lon
don Times: "The public does not seem to
know that the demolition of Vendome column
is no sudden freak, but an act of vandalism or
justice, whichever you please, which has for
years been resolved upon. In May, 1865, was
one evening driving through the Place Vendome
with two well known French repubicans-M
Edmond Potonie and NJ. Ellie Reclus; as we
passed the column, the latter, who is now
director of the national library under the COM
mune, quietly pointed up at it and said-an
English friend being with me-'We four shall
outlive that As cautious witnesses say, we
then had some further conversation on the mat
ter. What ] heard then from one or two gen.
tlemen, whose names | have mentioned, and
afterwards from their friends, has caused me to
keep that column in my minds eye ever SINCE
In 1868, while in the United States, | read a
newspaper account of the death of NJ. POtonie,
and the prophecy about the column Immediately
REQUIRED TO me. Soon after my return to Eng
land, however, received letter from my sup
posed deceased friend, who, was glad to find,
had only been killed by an American journal
ist, so it was still possible that M. Reclus'
prophecy might be fulfilled. On the 10th of
May, 1871, as nearly as possible-I believe al
most TO the day-six years after the evening |
have alluded to, we four being still alive, down
the column came. | thought in this doubling
age the evidence of even lay prophecy's fulfil
ment might be of service to the faithful. This
note may also help to convince those who think
the commune mad that there is at least con-
siderable method in their madness"

An indianapolis man is in luck. His name
is Caldwell, and he is peculiarly fortunate in his
grandfather, who was named Cozine This
Cozine owned eight acres of land in New York
city one hundred years ago, which in 1913 he
leased for ninety-nine years, and then went to
Pennsylvania, thinking no more about his city
property. Mr.. Caldwell's family have for many
years believed themselves to be among the
numerous heirs of Anneke Jams, who have per-
sistenty worried the Trinity church corporation
with lawsuits. But recently Mr.. Caldwell has
discovered that he had something better than
an in6nitesimal share of whatever claim that
celebrated old lady left to her descendants
Some papers in his possession proved on inquiry
to be deeds establishing his title to the eight
acres Of land which his grandfather, Cozine,
owned. This is in the heart of the city, 'front.'
ing on Broadway and Fulton streets, and, as the
lease is now about to expire, this was just tbs
time to press his claims. He put himself
therefore, in communication with wander
bilt, one of the Astors, and Others" thu
present holders of the property. They gladly
awaited themselves of the opportunity to pay
him one million dollars for his claim, with
which he went home and excited the envy OF
the Indianapolitans. Even this success does
not satisfy him, however, and we are told that
he has his eye on two hundred acres of land in
Harlem, for which he thinks he can persuade
Mr.. Vanderbilt the present occupant, TO give
him another million or so. Holders of real es-
nate in New York are getting very uneasy, as
they see Mr.. Caldwell's avidity for their acres,
and the remarkable fascination he seems to ex.
ert upon millionaires, compelling them to yield
at once to his demands. Probably it is shame
at having succumbed so readily to his wiles that
leads these people whom he has 1eeeed to deny
that they have paid a million dollars, or any
other sum to anybody under such circumstances
as have been above narrated, or that they have
ever seen or heard of Mr.. Caldwell. That gentle.
man, however, has his million, so the Indian.
apolis papers say, and their denials make nc
difference TO him.

A F1eHrINe FAM1Lr.-The Rev. Henry CLAW

A FIGHTING FAMILY.-The Rev. Henry CLAW
Trumbull, in his address at Hartford on memo
rial day, told this story of some Maine BOYS:
Another soldier recall-or rather family of
soldiers, from the state of Maine. father and
five sons enlisted early in the war in different
Maine regiments. One son was wounded at the
first Bull Run fight. After years service, the
father was mustered out for disability, and re-
turned home. A second son died at Antietam.
A third fell dead at Port Hudson. A fourth
was bayonetted to death at Gettysburg. The
fifth was severely wounded at Deep Run and
went home on furlough. The son who was
wounded at Bull Run received another wound
before Petersburg, and was also sent home.
Leaving the stage coach at the point nearest his
fathers he started on foot across the field to the
familiar farmhouse. 1t was after nightfall. A
binding snowstorm prevailed. Weak from his
wounds, the bewildered soldier dropped exhaust
ed by the way, and the next morning he was
found dead within stones throw of the dear
old patriot homestead. Then the sole surviving
son Of the five went again to the front. 1t was
there that met him, in the latter months of
the war: and he asked me not to count him

light duty, instead of actively with his company.
