BUG.

The comparatively high. price. {! Of
wheat may lead farmers to SOW large
quantities Of this gram the coming
Spring, right in the face Of threatening
danger from the ravages Of the chinoh
bug in regions go infested. It is true
early sowing and early ripeuiug may
prevent the worst consequences, but il
is not to be relied upon with certainty
Early sowing % = we'll pulverized soil,
seeded with not less than one aud q
half bushels per acre, Of plump, healthy
grain placed within half an inch OF the
surface Of tho ground, are prerequisite
to success.
It has been hoped that the severity
of the Winter would tend to lessen the
number of bugs the coming year, but
THIS does not follow rs natural consc-
quence. 1t is denied by entomolo9ists
that the chiuch bug winters above tho
ground in corn.stalks, but our observa-
ton is different, for We have fourd
them alive and apparently healthy 10
the Winter under the blades, and
among tho busks. Our Observable IN,
too, is that the bugs do more damage to
wheat sown on corn-stalk ground, than
upon stubble ground plowed in the Fall.

From The Tribune Of the PSI.
For several days past the road west d

We are very much pleased to learn that

ore lending substantial aid "a. tho further
ance Of the object.
On Tuesday night last, As We have been
Informed. one, Pete Banigau. stepped into
Dave Mullsn's Saloon, with drawn revol-
YER, and at once avowed his intention Of
shooting the proprietor of that institution.
At the time Of his entrance, a. our intorms-
ton goes, Mullen and = man named
Harding were engaged in game Of cards.
As Banigan prenared to put his threat into
execution, Harding and Mullen's wife
sprang toward him, Harding grasping the
pistol barely and tried to prevent him from
shooting; Banigan, however, seemed bent
upon shooting Mullen, and in his attempt
to 90 so pulled the trigger just as Harding
stepped in front Of him. The charge took
effect in Hsrding's left breast, passing
within one inch Of the heart and coming
out Of the back, striking Mullen in the
thigh near the groin, inflicting very
severe wound, though not serious. Ban
igan fed through the front door into the
street, but was followed by Mullen who
fred teur ehots after him but without effect
Banigan was at once arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Cassety, and committed to Jail.
Medical aid was summoned to attend the
wounded men, and their wounds were
dressed. Al the time Of this writing,
Harding il said to be doing as well ~ the
serious nature of his wound will permit,
and it is believed he will recover but the
surgeon in attendance assured him that
had the bullet gone half IN inch nearer the
heart death would probably have been the
instant result. The pistol WAS . large
navy revolver, and piece Of asrding's
shirt was blown clear through him and was
afterwards taken out, with the bullet, from
Mullen's thigh. The fracas was OCCASION
ed by falling out tho day previous be-
tween Mullen and the asssilant, tho de-
tails of which We know not nor care not.
Banigan was to have hearing on Thurs
day At 10 o'clock. Tho result will be men
toned in our next issue.

A rather discouraging account OF the
South African diamond fields is given BY
correspondent who has recently returned
to England from the Cape. lie estimates
that during the spring Of this year the val
ue Of the stones discovered did not exceed
225,000 PR month, while at the various
camps no less than 10000 people we're en-
gagged either diging or supplying the
wants Of the diggcrs. Since then. how
over, the supply has been nearly trippled,
owing TO the discovery Of q small field Of
extraordinary richness. Nearly four ifths
of the whole amount of the diamonds dis
covered come, it is calculated, from a lit
tie hillock Of only 20 acres in extent, to
which half the mining population aocked.
Under these circum stances, it is not proba-
bic that the present extraordinary yield
will be long maintained, depending as it
does, on casual '6nd," and not on the
average richness Of the fields.

GOOD on BUTLER.

A rather amusing story is in circula-
ton at the expense of tho eminent
Gentleman from Massachusetts, com.
moLly called "Old Strabismus." At
the Presidents lcvee the other nj ght,
which was densely crowded, an old lady
from the interior somewhere, iu faint
ing condition, requested her husband
to get her an leo.
"Can't be did," responded "hub," in
some irritation "thero amt no refresh
wents here"
"Don't believe it. Didn't We get pleh-
~ at Bclknap's the other evening :" tho
good woman said angrily; "now go and
get me an ice and some lemonade"
81 tell you, now, don't be fool ;
there amt no refreshments, everybody
says so" grunted tho lord and master.
"You arc quite mistaken, sir" said
the Hon. S. S. Cox, who happened to
be near, and who never lozes an oppor-
tunity to put in a joke. "The Prcsi-
dent always provides substantially.
There is his butler, whose business is
to show ladies to the supper room," and
tho Hon. little jester pointed to Gener-
al Butler. "YOu'll find HIM q little
stuck up and cross, but you mustn't
mind that; tell him to get you ter
rapips."
This was said so gravely that the
t~o struggled through tho crowd to
where General Butler stood talking to
some ladies.
II say, mister, I am told you are the
butler" said the man.
"1'm General Butler" replied Old
strabismus pleasantly, thinking the two
some country people filed with admira-
ton of his greatness.
| II don't care whether you are gen.
eral butler or not, but my wife wants
some terrapins aud lemonade.
"Sir 2" snorted old B. in Amusement
and disgust.
"Oh ! don't take on airs, old cock.
Come, now, hurry up those tarrapins:"
"You must be drunk, sir you must
be drunk !"
"No he ain't," scrca ned tho wife.
"He's Good Temp'ar; he amt drunk,
but guess you are."
Roats Of laughter greeted this, 10
which s. S. Cox was forced to Join.
General Butler Redeemed in the faos,
aud began putting bis cheeks out in tho
most violent manner.
II don't understand this extraord;-
nary conduct. What do you want, sir
what do you want p
:Terrapins, I tell you"
"Whet do you take me for, you Gus
sed fool ?" roared Benjamin..
"You call me a cnssed tool and I'll
hit you on the snoot,'' screamed the
man.
At this juucture an officer Of the
police seized the belligerent husband
aud led him away amid much laughter.
Butler, turning suddenly, saw the mis-
chief maker.
~ say, Cox, did you do that I"
"Weli, yes, I'm afrail I did,"
"Well, owe terrapins. aud I'll pay
you, mind that-1'll pay YOU"
And the two walked lovingly away.

THE HORSE AND THE STABLE.

Stabling horses in tho summer time
causes more labor in the care OF them
than pasturing. But the advantage of
stabling over pasturing are sufficient
to compensate for the extra amount Of
work. The work horse needs great
deal of care in the stable in hot wealth
Or.
First, his stable should be kept clean
and comfortable. Enough litter should
be used to absorb all the wet, and moth
ing is better in hot weather for litter ir
the stable than dry earth. 1t deodorizes
as we'll ~ absorts, and makes the stable
sweet and pleasant. The manure should
be deposited At some distance from the
stable door, and no pools OF water, or
soaking from manure allo.ed to stand
near. Plenty Of air aud light the sta.
bled horse needs likewise.
Next, tho horse requires thorough
grooming i; the curry comb should be
faithfully used every morning, followed
with tho brush and wisp, till his coat is
clean aud glossy. Otherwise the sta.
bled horse becomes dull and spiritless
droops, though we'll fed, and is liable
to colds, levers, and distempers. If his
skin is not kept clean and pores open
~ is the case when he runs in pasture
it cannot ba expected that no will re.

should DO something more than dry hay
and uuground oats. These are not thu
