The Girl and the Kadi.

from Dr. Jessup's "Syran Home Iife."1
Once there was very little girl who
bought very little house, and while
she was sweeping it she found a very
little coin. Then she bought little
di66s (molasses) and put it on the
shelf but there came little fly and
drank it up. So the little girl went to
the Kadi and complained of the little
fly, and said, go Kadi, Judge rightly,
or may your eyes be blindedw Then
the Kadi called and said, depart, you
foolish and shameless girl, for you have
spoken impolitely to the Kadi." Said
the little girl, ~ will not go until you
give righteous decision. Then said
the Kadi, "Tell me all your case" So
she began as follows:
80 Kadi great. I am very small"
Said he, ''Tis because you not tall"
" o Kadi, bought little wee house,"
Said he, "Big enough; you are as small as a
mouse!"
go adi. swept it with all my might"
Said he, "No doubt il clean and bright"
" O Kadi, found a coin so Vice."
Said he, "'Twill do for the Kadi's fee!'
90 Kadi, purchased dibbs so sweet
Said ne, For sweet girl that meet"
F." O Kadi, placed it on the shelf
Said he, You were keeping it for yourself!'
go Kadi, the little fly one day
Flew down aud took it all away:
And now / come to plead my cause,
beg you Judge her by the laws
Said he, "Whene'er you see a lily,
bid you smite it till it die
The Kadi's words were hardly said
When she esped upon his head
A little Ny, who gravely safe
Upon the Kadi's shaven pate.
So, taking the slipper from her foot,
The Kadi's head she hercely smote,
Saying " Whenever you see a fly,
bid you snite it till II die -
The Kadi groaned from smarting pain,
When she her slipper raised again
To smite fly upon the pate
OF the Kadi's grave associate.
This Naieb grave now sued for grace
And said, " Whate'er adjOins my face
Is mine by heritage and right,
And you've no legal right 20 smite;
But in the noble Kadi's name,
I'll give YOU justice all the same
Then filing her hands with shining money,
He sent her home to eat bread and honey.

The MI. VERNON CoMpANY's New MlLL.-The
employees of Mount Vernon cotton duck mills, on
the Falls road, had holiday on Saturday last,
it being the occasion of trial of the fire arrange
ments of No. mill, which have just been CON-
pleted. The new mill is said to be the largest
cotton duck mill in the world, and is unsurpass-
ed in the completeness of its precautionary fire
arrangements. In addition 10 the usual pump
pressure there is an engine always in readiness to
bring $50 pounds pressure on more than twenty
streams in various parts of the building The
main stand pipe runs from the engine house along
the fire escape ladders and corridors on the out
side of the building. Valves are so fixed on the
corridors that if any floor portion of the build
ing was burning, with one movement of a wheel,
that portion would be instantly flooded with
water and steam by means of four inch pipes
An arrangement peculiar to this mill is system
of perforated steam and water pipes covering the
sides and ceilings, whose streams intersect each
other in such way as to reach every portion OF
the apartments. The work of fixing the fifteen
miles length of pipe which the mill contains, and
ali the connections, has been prosecuted actively
for six months, and as its ompletion finished the
mill in every part, Saturday was set as day OF
mutual congratulaton between workmen and
employers. The stockholders of the Mount YER
non Company were shown through the mill and
witnessed trial of the fire apparatus.
AT L. M. the women and children operatives
in the mills gathered on the hills to see the fire
department trial The Woodberry band was
stationed in the cupola of the new building and
played, while the stockholders of the company
and invited guests from Baltimore watched the
work OF extnguishng sham fires. AT signal
from Mr.. A. II. Carroll, fire alarms for eight diff
fereut portions of the village were struck by the
bell, within the space of half an hour. The OBJ
ject was to test the fire arrangements and see how
quickly they could be worked in the event OF
such fire as destroyed one of the mills over
year ago. The male operatives, directed by
Overseer Wm. 0. Smith, labored well and show
ed that TWO powerful streams could be directed
on any borton of the village five minutes after
an alarm. AS the alarms were given from points
of which the operatives had not been informed
the test was considered reliable by the owners
Upon an alarm from No mill TWO inch streams
reaching height OF SO feet were directed on the
the mill two minutes after the last stroke o. the
bell The affair ended with a banquet at the
beautiful residence of Mr. A. Ii. Carroll who
during the evening was serenaded by the Wood
berry band.

PREsEsrA-roN.-on last Friday evening, 18th

whose choice wines flowed freely.

MEETING IN THE FIRST DISTRICT.

The SEVEN YEAR LoCUsTs.-lf tine "seven
year ocusts" are "on time" they will put in
their appearance this summer in this section
of the country. They appeared in 1860, and
again in 1867, in the month of June, and will
probably do so again this year. They first APP
pear in the form of sluggish and unsightly
brown beetle, and emerge from the ground
through small round holes, the ground in some
places being so thickly perforated as to re-
semble q honey comb. When they have
emerged from these holes they crawl up and
attach themselves to weeds or trunks of trees,
and thus remain basking in the sun until the
perfect locust is matured. In the course of
few days the locust bursts its crude, brown,
beetle-lik shell and flies off, like another per-
feet and entirely different insect leaving the
husk still adhering TO the tree or weed upon
which it was fastened, with a clean-cut slit, as
though done with sharp knife, in the body
from which the locust made its escape. The
liberated locusts at first spend a few days in
merrily singing songs Of rejoicing over their
advent to a new existence, the noise made by
them in some localities being almost deafen-
ing, although not particularly unpleasant
They very soon, however, address themselves
to the chief business of their ephemeral exis-
tence, which seems to be to adopt the means
to propagate their species after lapse of sew
en- years. They may be seen at this time in
countless myriads, slowly crawling along the
snlalIer OrdHcHes Vi young trees, anu lnuuS-
triously perforating them at intervals of about
quarter of an inch with a sharp, lance like
instrument, with which they are provided. In
these missions they deposit their eggs. The
wounds they make in the wood are so poison
Gus as to kill the branches in which they are
made, and these in the latter part of summer,
or the early part of autumn, drop to the ground,
when the eggs find their way into the earth
and appear in the form and manner described.
We have carefully watched the whole process
from the first appearance of tie locusts in the
form of beetles until the dropping of the dead
twig, and our description is from personal OBJ
servation. With the wonderful instinct of
self preservation, with which benefcent ma
ture has endowed her creatures, the locusts
choose high and dry ground as the field of OPP
Grafton, gravelly ridges being their favorite
resort They never seek a swamp or low
grounds in which to perforate the trees and
deposit their eggs. The short history of the
locust is replete with the impressive lessons
of the perfect and marvellous handiwork of ma
ture.-Er.
