An Aristocratic Card Swindler.

A London correspondent gives def
mite information about the aristocratic
individual said to have been expelled
from the Marlborough, Turf and other
clubs for cheating at cards. The
person is by marriage related to a
distinguished Scotch family, and en-.
ioyed the special friendship of the
Prince of Wales. His salary as a
governmental official being small his
friends were astonished at his luxurious
methods of living. He was an indus
trious card player, and it was observed
that he never lost. A committee was
appointed to watch him, and the COM
mittee reported that at whist he
frequently dropped a court card when
dealing, but that the deal nevertheless
came right, the last card going to him
instead of the right hand player.
After he had taken up his cards he
stopped down and picked up the fallen
card, as if he had just dropped it.
The Marquis of Huntington and tho
Hon. IL. Petere were deputed to go 10
him and give him the choice of with
drawing his name from the Turf and
Marlborough clubs or of submitting TO
a vote of the members. He chose 60
Withdraw. He also retired from the
official seeretaryship which he held, but
receives Il retiring pension.

Anything looks well, in fact, that prom

knows why these suckers are allowed to

object, it looks well to him. Now.
these suckers are allowed to grow and
reach mp to the branches for the pur-
pose OF protecting the trunk from the
scorching rays of the sun, rs well in
winter, when the bark is frozen, as in
summer. Then, if blight attacks the
top and spreads so that you have to cut
1t completely off, as you will see has
happened here in several cases, these
shoots can be resorted to for a new top,

THOUSANDS OF TESTIMONIALS

THROUGH all the ages of study and
investigation which have marked the
path of scientific discovery, one espec-
tally alluring object has tempted the
inquiries and speculations of philoso-
pliers. 1t is what the wizards and
witches Of olden time, the jugglers Of
India, soothsayers of Arabia, Magi of
Egypt, necromancers of Turkey and
the Orient, and alchemists of civilized
Europe have sought but sought in
vain-a vegetable non poisonous EEirir,
which, by cleansing the blood, remoy-
ing from the system all impurities,
strengthening.the nerves, the muscles,
and the brain, and vitalizing every fibre
Of the system, should bid defiance to
the corroding hand of disease.
DIR. Walker, of California, discovered
an herb, the properties of which, if
they do not entirely fulfill all the con-
ditions above mentioned, have at least
proved themselves etficacious in all OF
them this herb Doctor Walker has
made an ingredient in his famous WIN
EGAR BTrTERs, which can be obtained
of any wholesale Druggist throughout
the country.-Com.

Trim for Cnf Worms.

The American Agriculturist gives the
following: An old shovel handle is
split for about a foot with a fine saw.
The split portion is soaked in boiling
water to soften it, and the ends are in
serted into holes made into hoop or
ring of wood two inches wide, one inch
thick, and eight inches in diameter In
the bottom of the ring there are insert
ed number of pieces of an old broom
handle projecting two inches and placed
not more than quarter of an inch
apart. When this is pressed into the
earth around hill of corn or a cabbage
plant, it leaves a circle of small round
holes two inches deep with compact
sides and bottoms. The cut worms fail
into these holes III their nightly ram
bles, and they may be found and de-
stroyed in the morning.

Inseet-Ilating Birds,

DIR. L. M. Brener, in the last number
of the American Naturalist, thus writes
1.-THE most noticeable of all the de-
stroyers Of the canker worm is the
common cedar bird, which devours
them to an extent perfectly enormous.
Next is the purple grakle, which also
feeds on them as long as they last.
The house pigeon, if in any numbers,
is an Invaluable bird. See, for in
stance, Il garden, corner of Summer
and Shestnut streets, Salem, where the
pigeons make canker worms q thing I'M
known. Among the other birds, all ex-
cellent so far as they go, are the chip
ping sparrow, the song sparrow, the
purple finch, all the vireas, white-eyed.
red-eyed, yellow-throated, solitary and
warbling, the king bird, the cat bird.
the downy wood pecker, the summer
yellow bird, Maryland yellow throat.
the blue bird. The blueiay eats their
eggs in the winter, so does the chicka-
dee. The latter eats their grub also and
the worm too. The common gray
creeper, which is with us only in win
ter, eats the eggs Last summer had
a nest of golden-winged woodpeckers
breeding on my place at bingham.
Some of them dug into my barn and
passed the winter. Only a part of my
trees We're protected by belt Of
printers ink and some of them were
partially eaten, but this winter very

selves, and / gave my friend Colaptc8

lot of worms myself and they eat them
as if they were used to them. The old

nearly forgot the two cuckoos, yellow
