MISTAKEN IDENTITY,

The most ludicrOus case of mistaken
identity that we have heard of lately is
said to have occurred in Montreal last
week. through the unfortunate resemb-
lance OF two young gentlemen, residents
OF that city. One of them, it seems, was
recently married, the other is still bach
elor. In the early part of the week, as
we are informed 10y the correspondent of
the Mail, the married person went to q
dinner party. The unmarried one, as it
so happened, was similarly occupied on the
same evening, but, unluckily for his repu-
tation, he made miscalculation as to his
capacity for native wine, and spoiled his
nights amusement. While glimmer OF
reason remained, he endeavored to get
home without attracting attention. By
the time the poor young man reached a
cab stand, his mind had become so con-
fused that he was unable TO remember
either his own name or the name of the
street in which lived. AS he was engaged
in gesticulating somewhat wildly to the
cab driver, a friend of the yonng gentle
man, happening to pass, noticed his plight.
and, ceniounding his identity with the
latter, pushed him into cab, whispered
to driver, and continued on his way
The result of this friendly act was the
conveyance of the unmarried man to the
house of the married man, where his la
mentable condition, as may easily be sup
posed. created anything but pleasant
surprise. The young wife was, Of course,
deeply mortified at the figure he cut in her
fathers house. Subsequently, as he lay
asleep upon sofa, the father-in-law en-
tered the room to demonstrate with him.
After wasting much good advice, the
father-in-law suddenly discovered the mis-
take that had been made by his daughter,
and was in the act of trying to persuade
the latter, probably much against her will,
that the intoxicated young man was not
her husband, when the real husband put
an end to the dispute, and greatly in
creased the embarrassment of the house
hold by letting himself in at the hall door
with latch key Nea0 York Times.

THE BEST INSECTICIDES,

The injuries caused by insects to certain
crops, are in many cases only to be pre-
vented by the use of poisons; and it is
matter OF much importance to select those
which shall be most efficient, while at the
same time, least likely, by their color and
character, to involve danger in their use.
The preventation of the ravages of the
Colorado potato beetle, which have been
SO serious within the las two years, can,
it is said, only be accomplished by the APP
plication of Paris green or Schecle's green,
an arsenite of coppers and the practical
success of this treatment has induced the
United States Agricultural Department to
invite experiments as to its effect upon
the cotton worm. 1t is estimated that
loss of not less than quarter to half
million bales of Gotten takes place annually
from this cause alone, which, at 300 per
bale, would amount to from $25 ,0O0, 900
to $50, 100000
A circular has accordingly been trans
mitted by the Department to its correspon-
dents in cotton growing countries; and
the monthly report of the Department for
November, contains digest of the replies
to the queries contained therein. The
general conclusions at which the Depart
ment arrives are that the use of one part
of Paris green, pure and unadulterated,
mixed thoroughly with 25 or 80 parts of
flour damaged flower being good enough)
answers perfectly well, and has proved OF
such utility as in many cases to have
saved the crops.
Parts green or arsenic, mixed with WA
ter, and sprinkled over the plants, has
also been used with satisfactory effect
The latter application should be made
moist, and before using the former, it is
desirable that the plants be wetted by rain
or artilicially, in order to cause the dust to
adhere to the leaves. The poisons should
be applied on the first appearance of the
caterpillars, and also as soon as possible
after the second crop of worms is seen.
Caution must be exercised to be
on the windward side of the plant
when dusting the poison upon it. and not
permit cattle to feed on the foliage.
Large flocks of turkeys have been
found very efficient in destroying the
worms, both in the case of cotton and to-
baccO.

H PRICE OF COAL.

Mr.. Macdonald, the WorkiDg-class mem
her for Stafford, in a speech at Glasgow,
advised the Miners delegates to limit the
output to the utmost, and so keep up the
price of coal, aud with it miners wages.
He argued that manufacturers always did
this when markets were gIutted and
profits low, and why should not the mi
ners7 The Spectator answers the three
"whys' in this manner. Because the mi
ners have the monopoly of digging an arti-
Gle of primary necessity to the community,
and manufacturers have not. Because
their implicit contract with their employ
ers is 10 work hard for wages agreed upon
BY themselves. Because the system of
light work involves violence to all compe-
titors who would work hard, and who
must be driven from work if NJ. Macdo-
maids advice is taken. His recommended
ton is not that they should fight the mas
tiers, which may be fair, says the S, but
that they should plumber the community
for their own advantage, which is not and
annot be justitable.
1t is gratifying. however, that coal has
fallen still further in price and that accord
ing to the papers by last mail the old
price has almost been reached again.
Cheap Goals would make our Steam Plough
work again, and, it is to be hoped, also
save trees in several localities of this ISL
and. 1t will also reduce the price Of
iron, which the Tariff Revision Commission
should take note of.

land. and to the expression of an earnest desire
that what has been lost may one day be regained.
In such a verdict the German Government will
find grounds for fresh accusations. You may re-
member a case that occurred after the war. A
carter in the Vosges who had accepted employ
ment from the Germans was laid hold of by
Francs iyeurs and shot for aiding and abetting
the enemy. The practice cf those Volunteers was
rough and ready, and they did not generally
trouble themselves to weigh the legality of their
acts. They looked upon tho man as a traitor to
his country, and shot him accordingly, without
going into the delicate question whether the coun-
try could at that moment be considered French,
or how far compulsion might have been used.
The Prussians brought the free-shooters before
the Assize Court, and. as might be expected,
they were acquitted, which gave rise to endless
denominations, to imputations upon French juries
and the French tribunals. and to an amount of harsh
language and unpleasantness which NJ. Theirs,
who then occupied the unenyiable post of head OF
the Government, has certainly not forgotten. 1t
is easy to foresee that the present affair, if driven
to e~xtrpmities, will probably have equally dis
agreeable consequences, and it is to be hoped that
the German Minister may yet think better of it,
and may recognize the i~mpolicy and cruelty of
driving to the wall q Government which has re
peatedly and unquestionably manifested a sincere
desire to grant proper satisfaction and t. place
itself on as amicable terms with its late antagonist
as the circumstances of the case permit. An
oyerbearing policy at Berlin could hardly be en-
dorsed by public opinion in Europe.
