Value Of loads i'm the Garden.

. WE encourage the harmless toads to
linger about our cabbage and other vege-
tables as they devour every insect that
comes within their reach. Toads thus far
this season have kept our squashes and
cabbage plants as free from all insects as
the plants can be kept. Instead of being
hateful and repulsive animals, toads are
the most innocent creatures that ever ate
indiscriminately anything that had life
that they could swallow They are worth
more per head to the horticulturist than
chickens, even allowing that chickens did
not scratch.
DR.. Harris reports an interesting expert
ment with toad in it's efforts to swallow
squash bugs, which emit an odor exceed
ingly offensive. DR.. Harris supposed the
odor of the squash bug (coreus trist6s)
would protect it from the toad and to
test the matter he offered one to a grave
looking 6ufo under cabbage He seized
it eagerly, but spit it out instantly, reared
up on his hind legs and put his front feet
on top of his head for an instant, as if in
pain, and then disappeared across the
garden in series of the greatest leaps a
toad ever made. Perhaps the bug bit the
bitter. Not satisfied with this, DR. Harris
hunted up another toad, which lived
under the piazza and always summed him
self in one place in the grass, and offered
him a squash bug, which he took and
swallowed, winking i'll a very satisfied
manner. Twenty other fine bugs follow
ed the first in few moments, with no
difficulty or hesitation Gin the taking or
the swallowing, though from the wrig-
CLING and contortions it appeared their
corners did not set well within. The
stock of bugs being then exhausted a
colony of smooth black Larvae was found
on a white birch, each about three
quarters Of an inch long, and over one
hundred of these were fed to the waiting
toad. Touching one of them with the
end of straw, it would coil around it,
and then when shaken before the toad he
would seize and swallow it, at first eager
ly, but with diminished zest as the num-
Der increased, until it became necessary
to rub the worm against his lips for some
time before he could decide about it. He
would then take it and sit with his lips
ajar for short time, gathering strength
and resolution, and then swallow by
desperate effort. There is no telling
what the number or result would have
been, as the dinner-bell rung as the 101st
disappeared, and by the close of the meal
he had retired to his hole, nor did he APP
pear for four days in his summing place.

DON'T let the flies locate in your nose.
A man at Castleton, vt, blew a worm
half an inch long from his nose a few
days since, which was preserved, and,
after four days, entered the chrysalis state,
and, six days after, Matched into a large
green fly. Inquiry developed the fact
that fly had suddenly entered the per
sons nose, some time previous, and con
siderable difficulty was experienced in
dislodging it. The ova was doubtless de-
posted at that time.

THE RUMORED STRIKES.

Not few rumors have been placed in circula-
ton during the past few days in regard to pro-
posed strike among tae employees OF the street
railway companies. Yesterday some enterprising
attache OF an evening newspaper added the Car
penters and Painters uniens to the tail OF their
sensational kite. Though there Is no prospect Of
strike at present, 1t may be well enough to state
the exact position OF AFFAIRS among the working
men and their various organizations. 1t is well
known fact that in all the trade unions the ques-
tion OF strike has been holly debated ever since
the last snowfall and the anxiety 10
dc something desperate has grown greater
with every hour that has passed since
st. Patrck's Day. The great numbers from the
bosom OF the working class which that Saints cele
bratOn brought into the streets warmly encouraged
Citizen Banks and the other radicals to undertake
a new labor crusade. On the other nand Kelly and
their fellow citizens at heart and who have not yet
got through shedding tears over the misery en-
tailed by last summers strike, cOunselled modera-

It will be in motion before the middle OF May is
pretty certain.
At Germania, Teutonia, Masonic and Military

A Theatrical Contrctemps-ssFernan
Suit for Damages.
Before Judge Davis.
James Schoneerg, the stage manager OF Wallack's
Theatre, has brought suit against Arthur Cheney
for damages in failing, as alleged, to fulfil con-
tract to perform version OF SardOus play of "Fer-
nande" in the Globe Theatre Of Boston. The suit
came to trial yesterday. In April, 1870 Mr. Schon.
berg prepared his translation OF this popular
drama and advertised that he was ready to nego-
tate for It's production with theatrical managers.
In response to this advertisement John ii. Selwyn,
manager OF the Globe Theatre, sent telegram
inqulring the terms upon which copy
of the play would be furnished. He was informed
that $50 would be charged for each performance.
These terms, as alleged, were accepted and o
manuscript copy OF the play was sent on by Mr..
SchOnberg. All due preparations were made for
Its performance, and the play was announced for
the 7th Of May. The play however, was net pro-
duced though several subsequent announcements
were made OF Its coming production. Meantime
another version was produced in this city, Mr.
Schonberg claims 81 600 damages. The principal
defence is that the version OF Mr. Schonberg was
not adapted for scenic representation and that 1t
could not be properly produced. The trial will
probably last several days, and will give theatrical
managers an opportunity as experts to pronounce
upon the necessary features to be incorporated in
play TO guarantee its popularity and success.
