ANOTHER REMEDY. A gentleman who has
seen it tried, writes as follows I'm view OF
the ravages made by the Colorado beetle it
may be interesting to your many readers to
learn au easy, cheap and sure preventive
of their further damage, to the potato crop,
which is by simply sprinkling the vines with
oyster shell lime. which must be done while
the dew is on. or Immediately after rain.
The beetle will disappear at once, and the vines
will assume healthy look. ''--Loudoun En-

WHY THE YOUNG MEN LOVED TO Kiss
HER--A young lady Of about sixteen Summers
called for glass of soda water. When asked
what syrup she preferred she glanced her love
ly eyes over the various pames which appeared
on the faucets of the fountain. She read over
the names Of strawberry, cream, lemon, etc.,
until she reached nectarlne.
"Nectariue p exclaimed the beauty. "Wha'
is that? What does it taste likeY'
The soda water man looked meekly at her,
and charmingly replied that it tasted as sweet
as young lady's lips.
Then I'll take glass, sir, with that syrup, y
said the charming young creature.
He Immediately prepared glass of the de-
lightful mixture and handed it over to the
young lady, who raised it to her lips which
witchingy parted to receive the contents. She
sippingy quaffed the cooling beverage, and,
handing back the glass; innocently remark
ed that now she knew why the young gentlemen
found so much pleasure in kissing her so often.

THE FRIENDS OF HENRY CLAY.
4 Boston paper publishes the following :


when Henry Clay, stepping into Lexing-
had long troubled him, had all been mysterious
ly paid, he exclaimed. with emotion Good
heavens did ever man have such friends
and such enemies as Henry Clay ?'' Iu quoting
this the Washington Chronicle remarks: I'VE
believe the Incident referred to, as regards Mr.
clay, is strictly true. 1t is we'll known that in
Philadelphia, the really great manufacturing
city of this cou6try, Mr.. Clay had hosts of ad
:mirers and staunch friends. These if we mis-
take not, learning Of the pecuuiary difficulties
OF their taVorlte statesman, raised the money in
small sums, by subscription, and quietly forward
ed the amouRt necessary for liquldating the debt
TO the Lexington bank
"Mr Clay, when presenting himself at the
Lexington bank counter, desiring to lift an
instaIlment of the paper against him, was ut
terly contounded and completely overwhelmed
with emotion, when the truth dawned upon
him that friends-true, kind loving and con-
slderate triends-had relieved him of fear
fully dragging financial weight. The trausac-
ton was accomplished secretly, efectually and
with remarkable delicacy. We are under the
impression there are handsomely bound books
IN Philadelphia at this moment containing the
names IN prot, OF those subscribing, together
Win kCepOStNo
This was an intended part of the details of
the generous minded conspiracy to make easy
the declining years of one, who, from his LOT y
position, had advocated faithfully aud well, the
advancement of the vital interests Of Philadel-
phis"
La comment upon the above the Richmond
Enqussr says:-"It may be that the Phadel-
pha admirers of Mr.. Clay did make up purse
for bis reliefon some occasion, but they had
nothing whatever to do with the generous and
unosteDtatious act above referred to. 1t is now
we'll known that the late Dr.. Mercer, of New
Orleans, who Away Ibid good by stealth and
biushed to find it fame, was the person who
so quietly extinguished Mr.. Clay's indebted.
ness at the bank 10 Lexington. The name of
his generous friend was for time kept secret
from the sage of Ashland, but he at length
found it out and expressed his gratitude in terms
of burning e!oquence. DR.. Mercer died six
or eight months ago, leaving large estate,
which was entirely dedicated to works Of
charity"

WASHINGTON, Mach 15.-About 1000
eolored labOrers, together with few whites,
marched in procession to the Executive
Mansion between and 9 O'Clock tonight,
for the purpose, it is SAID, of making COM
plant that certain moneys appropriated BY
Congress Tor the use of the District gov
eminent had been paid to the contractors
instead Of to the laborers employed by
them. The band, on approaching
the portieo of the Mansion, played
sHail 70 the Chief, when a COM
mittee Of labOrers went to the door
and through an attendant there informed
the President Of the presence of the crowd.
The attendant soon returned with the mes
sage: gThe President desires to be ex-
cused.n The spokesman Of the party, who
has been acting IS attorney for many Of
the laborers, then made speech, in which
he said:
ssFellow-citizens-Th President desires
TO be excused; in other words, the Chief
Magistrate cannot receive the laborers Of
the District Of Columbia, but we win, as
law-abidihg citizens, acknowledge his
mandate and retire. he added: "This
is the first time in the history
Of the American Republic that President
has refused to receive the delegated author

The crowd here cheered, and voices were
heard-"Hit him agin.'

THE TWO TILTONS.
An Amusing Episode of the
ScandaIOus Trial.
Beecher's Lawyers Barking up
the Wrong Tree.

New YORK, March 15.-Several ladies
have been added to the Plymouth delega-
ton, which is grouped daily behind Mr..
and Mrs. Beecher and their son. This
group is called "The Plymouth Jury" and
Mr.. Caldwell, who sits in the front row Of
seats and at the left end, has been designa-
ted "The foreman Of the Plymouth jury"
The number Of ladies' in other parts Of the
court room has largely increased.
The Sun says the public is spared a great
mass Of testimony that had been collected
for the great trial by the discovery that
there is alive Theodore II. TiltOn, and
that he has been divorced. Theodore Til
ton of the hotel and other scrapes was
heard Of in Albany and elsewhere, and in
the very worst scrapes a man could be in.
The story grew thrilling as it waxed more
damaging, ana the climax was capped by
finding in the Supreme Court the record of
Theodore TiltOn's divorce from his wife in
1871; but the name Of the wife was record
ed as Annie f. TiltOn. This spoiled
everything, and a closer inquiry found the
Theodore Tilton in business on Broad
way.
The witnesses examined to-day were
called to prove that, until his final rupture
with Beecher, TiltOn had not accused him
of anything worse than dishOnOrable pre-
posals to Mrs. TiltOn but had insisted that
his wife was as ''pure as an angel" 1t
was also stated by two witnesses that
Moulton had, az the time referred to, ex-
pressed his beliefin Beecher's innocence.

WHEAT CROP PROSPECTS IN MAU-
RY AND GILES.

Thos. H. Williams, Of Columbia,
writes as follows TO the Louisville Led
ger: "In reference to the wheat crop,
/ viii say that the average In Maury
county Is fully double that of 1874.
The early wheat is looking unusually
fine, but the late sowing not 80 hatter-
ing. On low, sp9uty lands the wheat
has been frozen out to some extent.
The prospect at present is full
" an average" II. M. Bugg,
of Brick Church, says in letter to
the same paper: "The prospect for an
abundant yield of wheat 1 viii say is
more aattering than usual at this sea-
son Of the year; particularly 50 with
the early sowing, which I think has
been injured very little, if any, by the
late freezes; late wheat, though Of
which there is not great deal, has Of
course suffered more. As to acreage as
compared with average years, / think l
can safely say that there is at least fifty
and, probably seventy-fve per cent.
more. Farmers are looking forward
with considerable interest to the wheat
crop, hoping to get some relief hnan-
ciallY therefrom.
