Potato Bugs.

The Aledo Mercer county, Illinois)
Record says that these pestiferous little
insects have already made their appear
ance in that vicinity in vast numbers.
They can be seen any warm day, trav-
crsing fields and prairics in quest of
food. If steps are not taken to prevent
their ravages the crop of early potatoes
will be devoured a. soon as it appears
above ground. An aggressive war
upon the insect at this time, would
greatly reduce its numbers, if not Grad
icatc it, and also save the crop.

What is the definition of kiss ? is
. question that has been often asked,
although the article itself has been far
oftener tried regardless of any explana-
ton as to its meaning. A German love-
letter, written in 1859, thus defines it !:
"What is kiss : 1t is as it were seal
expressing our sincere attachment; the
pledge Of future union; human heart,
= present which, at the time it is given,
is taken from the impression of coral
press crimson balm for love wound
ed heart delicious dish, which is
eaten with scarlet spoons; sweet
meat which does not satisfy our hun
ger; fruit which is planted and gath
cred At the same time; the quickest ex-
change of question and answer between
two lovers; the fourth degree of true
love-"

TTON.

BALTIMORE, October 4.
The Triennlal General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States assembled at Emmanuel Church, in this
city, to-day. The ediace was crowded during
the morning exercises. The Right Rev. Johns,
of Virginia, preached sermon, after which
the bishops were called to order by presiding
Bishop Smith, OF Kentucky. resolution was
passed to proceed In body to Grace Church
for organization, at which place their lord
ships, the bishop of Lich6eld and Right Rev.
DR.. Venable, bishop of Nassau, were present.
Among the deputies on the floor were the
Hon. Hamilton Fish and ex-senator Steven
son, of Kentucky. Also, the Rev. Mr. Hally,
the colored rector OF Trinity Church, at Port au
Prince.
Among the questions to be considered by
the convention will be the report OF the com.
mittee on rubrical amendments. which Is like.
IL to provoke o discussion on some of the
principal points on which the high church and
low church parties are at issue. The differ
ences between Bishop Whitehouse and the
Rev. Mr.. Cheney, of Chicago, and the rela-
Tying, Jr., to his bishop, will also have to be
settled, as we'll as the recent new departure of
Rev. Mr.. Thrall and other ministers and con-
gregalions with respect to the revised Book of
Common Prayer, so that on the whole the pro-.
ceedings promise to be highly interesting.
Applications will probably be made to the
convention for the further division of the AL
bany diocese into the sees of Troy and Ogdens.

Il RIDE ON THE N4RF oW GAUGE.
Grace Greenwood writes as follows to the

Grace Greenwood writes as follows to the
ew York Times:
should have chronlcled some tire ago an
excursion on the Denver and Bio Grande
Narrow Gauge Railway. We went cut about
fifteen miles-as far as the rails were then
laid. II was charming day. We hal a pleas
ant company Of citizens and tourists, and all
went "merry as marriage bell' In the old
days, when marriages were of some account.
On this railway you are struck at once with
the reduced proportions OF everything, from
the locomotive, which seems like mall va
riety of the Iron horse"-a very little mus
taug-to the windows and lamps In The cars.
The cars themselves are bright, pretty,
dIminutive affairs, cosy and comfort able. It
seems like playing at railroading, spi clally as
0ton. Never have l known train glide
along so smoothly and quietly. The little en-
CINE "buckled right down to her work" like
Chiquits, and made no ado about it or several
miles, when, I grieve 10 say. she suddenly
baked, and had TO be switched We look
another horse and went on merrily 10 the end
of the road. Here we all alighted, and watch
ed the men laying rails and driving spikes;
The remorseess officers Of the road insisted
on your correspondent paying her way by
driving spike. 1t was cruel tax on my
stmnscniar Christianity" The newspaper re-
mort said that drove the spike home tri-
imphantly.n But really thought 1t wouldn't
isgo home till morning" This narrow-gauge
road. when finished to El Paso, will be won
derfnl route-for pleasure as well as commerce
Nas it will be almost unrivalled for variety and
Grandeur of scenery. The mountain views,
fhe nicture OF river, and park. and plain, De-
tween Denver and Colorado City, are espe'
cially magnificent
