FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS.

The old phrase, s'There's many Il
slip 'twiXt tho cup and the lip" is
literal translation of an old Greek hex
ameter line, and when we talk of smil-
ing through tears we are quoting
Homer. The happy expression, "NW-
Ian q,tOd tetigitH non O1?aarit,' is the
phrase employed by DIR. johnson in his
epitaph on Goldsmith to express the
genius of his friend. The line so often
attributed to Shakespeare, GA fellow
feeling makes one wondrous kind"
was written by Garrick in the occasional
prologue spoken by him on leaving the
stage. Owen Felthan, the author of
the "Resolve,' is one of those unfortu
nate men who have written many
good and pithy things while Others
have usurped the credit of them such,
for instance, as "NVithout {: certain
modicum of chaff the horse is apt to
bolt his oats,' which has been SO dex
terously applied. Macaulay has the
reputation of many brilliant epigram,
for which he was indebted far more to
his gigantic memory than to his origi-
nality.
The oft-quoted image of the traveller
from New Zealand taking his stand on
a broken arch of London Bridge to
sketch the ruins of st. Paups, is bor-
IOWcu IOUl l1OTdcc "SlpOle. 'luc
Imitation Of Christ" Hebert's "Jacula
Prudentum," )" and Frunklin's works are
the great storehouses of many proverbs
and quotations. From the first we
have "Man proposes but God disposes."
"Of two evils, the less is always to be
chosen.' clearly to bed and early to
rise makes Il man healthy, wealthy and
wise" is from Franklin; so also is
ssGod helps them who helps them
selves;" "IIe that goes borrowing
goes Il sorrowing;' "Continual drop
ping wears away stoncs," though the
germ of this, by the way, is to be found
lin Lucretius and Ovid. ltabclas has
given us many popular phrases, such
as "IIe thought the moon was made of
green cheese;' "By robbing Peter he
! paid Paul;'' "Thc devil was sick, the
devil a monk would be, the devil was
we'll, the devil Il monk was hc.' The
phrase, "Nar even to the knife" was
the answer of PaiafoX, the Governor of
Saragossa, when he was summoned to
surrender by the French, who We're
besieging the city, in 1908. One of the
sources from which many Of our popu-
lar quotations have flowed IS Lord
Roscommon's "IlsSay on Translated
Verse; :" for example, the coupfct so
confidently attributed to Pope, elm
modest words admit of no defence, for
want of dcccncy is want of sense" and,

friend.'
An immense number of counterfeit
nickels are annually received by the
New Orleans street cars on account of
fare. The "Picayunc" says: On Mon
day last IA large and heavy bag, con-
tanning 47,OO0 nickels, was taken from
the Office of the City Railroad, on
Canal street, in charge of the treasurer
of the company, and carried TO the
river, where it was placed in Il boat,
which was rowed to the middle of the
stream. The bag was then thrown into

SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE-THE
SEDUCER SHOT.
George c. Harding Shoots Sol. Moritz
lor >educing his Dauo hter, and the
Daughter, Commits Suicide.

ABOUT one o clock on the afternoon
OF last Thursday, the city was startled
with the reporte that a fatal shooting affra;
had Just taken place between George c.
Harding, editor OF the Suday Herald, and
Solomon Moritz, we'll known clothing
merchant of Washington street. The ru
NOR was but too true, and the details OF
the affair make up another sickening chap
ter of crime. The facts, as near as can be
ascertalned at the time of writing, are as
follows:
Mr.. Earding had cause to suspect the
existence of improper relations between
MIR. Moritz and his daughter, Miss Flora
Harding, handsome and accompl plished
young lady of about twenty years of age,
and, on Wednesday evening, took occa-
sion to have an interview with the daugh-
ter, in which he frankly stated his sus
picions The young lady, overwhelmed
with grief and shame, confessed all, and
gave the name of her seducer, Mr.. Solo,
mon Moritz. The relationi existing be-
tween Mr.. Harding and Mr.. Moritz were.
and have been, of the most friendly char.
acter, and the families of each were upon
the most friendly terms. This lent al ad-
ditionl pang to the outraged feelings of Mr..
Harding. If an enemy or stranger had
by some insidious method ATTEMPTED to
destroy the peace and honor of his house.
hold, it would have been a wrong unbear-
able; but that professed friend and conf
dant should so far forget every obligation
of honor, as to blast the good name OF one
in whom every hope was centered, was a
GeeG that fired the brain of Harding.
Mr.. Harding remained at home We'd
nesday night, racked as may be supposed
with the most excruciating mental tor.
ture. Rising early Thersdy morning, he
went to his daughters chamber, and rap
ped repeatedly, but receiving no response,
apprehensiye of the worst consequences,
be broke into the room and found her in |
an unconscious condition, evidently from
the effects of poison. Medical aid, was
summoned, and the proper restoritiyes
and antidotes administered.
The poison taken. proved to be opium,
but it had not been, taken in sufficient |
quantity to be fatal, and by o. clock the
unhappy girl was supposed to be out Of
immediate danger, and Mr. Harding went
down to the Herald Office to attend to his
duties there.
Int the girl was determined upon sui.

DESTROYING THE OHINOH BUG.

A correspondent OF the Lawrence
Journal, writing to that paper, says:
On the 18th inst, we saw the wheat
fields could not contain the bugs any
longer. They were in frightful COM
motion, as though startled by their
own incredible numbers. Many of
them went direct to the corn. On the
18th we got u barrel of coal tar and run
some temporary lines as checks along
the railroad where the bugs were
thickest. On the 10Th we cleared a
track on the wheat side of the railroad
and permanently fixed our head
quarters. With the use of tcakettles
we located our tar lines, and resolved
to defend them or perish on the ground.
We had no experience in the matter,
and therefore were always driven by the
rude hand of necessity. At about 3 o.
clock in the afternoon the bugs pressed
on our lines in such force that in many
places they would gorge, bank up, and
roll over the lines by millions. The
best we could do was to draw tar switch
es on the line and bag and burn them,
for which purpose we kept constant
fires along the line. They would often
pile up so that we could dig up COM
mon size barn yard shovel full of clear
bugs. On the Goth we dug pits of
twelve inches square along the line,
with switch IS of tar to guide the bugs
into the pits, and traced the top of the
pits around with tar, except the en-
trance, to keep them in. This worked
we'll. One pit filled to the depth of
six inches in one day, another four in
ches. We also ran several inside lines
and dug pits SO as to have two chances.
One main head line was nearly one
quarter of mile long, with twelve pits.
About sunset we would burn them all
out. We cannot think of placing the
bugs destroyed thus at less than one
bushel per day. The northwest corner
of the wheat field joined our meadow.
Here we kept tar lines and pits, and
thereby saved our timothy with but lit
tie damage. Our roasting-ear patches
of corn were greatly exposed. Around
one placed pine fencing boards, one end
under the earth set aslant, and on the
upper part which stood above the earth
we ran the tar. This, did not give sat
isfaction from the fact that the tar
soon died away, and the bugs walked
over. We then placed the boards on
edge, ends together, earthed up on
both sides, made the outside rather
smooth so the bugs could travel with
but little obstruction. Then took strips
OF cloth one and half inches wide,
doubled them lengthwise, tackled them
on to the top edge of the board, straight
edge out, let it project little over the
boards, then with a brush or swab
tarred the cloth WE'LL Old woolen
clothing or grain sacks will answer.
This we give as the best plan found
among our experiments, and do not
think it can fail.
