CAR PEDDLERs-And then were the ped
oilers. l bought out the popcorn boy TO get
iid of him, because l was trying TO compose
81 poem for young lady's album and dld not
want 10 be disturbed. But he came right
back with stock of peanuts. / took few
and hurried him away, and he retuned with
some ice cream candy. l don't like ice cream
candy and peanuts together, but invested at
once, because an inspired rhyme had been
borne to me, and wanted to set it down be-
before it slipped my mind. Then the scouI-
drel came back TO me with tobacco and cigars,
and afterwards with oranges, imitation ivory
baby-whistles, fig-paste and apples; then he
went away and was gone sometime, and
was encouraged to think the train had run
over him. He was only keeping his most ma
lignant outrage TO the last. He was getting
his literature ready.
And from that time forward, that degraded
youth did nothing but march from one car to
another, and afiiict the passengers with
specimen copies of the vest blood-and-thun-
der romaDces on earth, "The Perjurers
DOOM" and "The Desperado's Revenge"
were some of his milder works, and on their
backs were pictures of stabbng affrays and
duels, and people showing other people over
precipices, and wretched wood cuts of women
being rescued irom terrible perils of all kinds
and they are always women who are so
criminay homey that any right-minded man
would take a placid satisfaction in seeing
them suffer sudden and violent death. But
that peddler boy pedded those atrocous
books right along tor hours together, and |
gave up my poem at last, and devoted all, my
energies to driving him away, and trying to
say things that would make him unhappy

The "kangoroo droop,' now fashionable,
is thus defined in New York letter: "To
make the thing perfect,a glove with three or
four buttons is selected, SO that the wrist NAV
be as long and as small as possible. The
wrist OF the lett hand and also that of the
right hand, if it is not engaged with an Al
pine parasol, is brought close to the breast.
ana then the hand is permitted to fall, palm

This is the present attitude of locomotion bv

gests the loveliest helplessness imaginable.

No HUMBUG.-Mr. Z. B. Warner commu-
statistics in relation TO the potato bug, that
will perhaps explain its mnltitudinous visita-
tion in the States east. From careful obser-
vations he finds that thirty three days COM
pletes the cycle OF one generation from fertil-
cation to the pupa state, or about three crops
annually in this latitude, Seven hundred OF
these bugs are the average product of single
female, from which the family grows IN the
second generation 10 245O 900, and in the lhiid
to $500 900, which must be considered as
very respectable increase.
A further calculation shows that one fe
male bug can thus expand itself into total
production of sixteen hundred and sixty-sX
bushels of average sized bugs in little over
three months! Any one looking over the gar
dens and potato fields at the present time,
will conclude that several Of these females
must have already made fair start the D, es-
ent season. The person who can turn Them
into some economical use, may not ouly make
fortune, but get universal vote of thanks.
II they are TO develop on the theory proposed,
We shall be forced before tall TO annex Cana
da to get storage room. What are now to be
seen are only the first effort. What will the
next be? 1t is said that they do not relish
Paris green as an article of diet; and now
that the Communists have been duly put
down, perhaps the Parsians may see hope III
vast demand ior bug poison on this side OF
the ocean. Who knows but the bugs are to
give birth to new industries, and to an i'm
porlant change in human food? Greater
events have followed from even less causes.

yicted of the crime. He was confined in the
Greene county Jail, and few evenings after
wards the jailor heard a noise: which led him
to suppose his release was being attempted,

rushed to the Jail, to find it on fire lie could
