POISONING THE PoTATo BUG "A letter
from Professor McMurtrie, of the national de-
partmcnt of agriculture at Washington, 90 the
subject of the potato beetle and the remedy Is
published. This gentleman is reputed to be
the most thoroughly and minutey Informed
scientific man in the country on this subject
10 particular, he has made constant expert
ments With view TO ascertain the effect of
mineral poisons, and especially those contain
Jog arscuc. Oh the health Of plants. This is a
point Of great interest," inasmuch as it has been
found that the potato bug can be extermiDaed
by poison, and Paris green Ia mixture of arse
nite and acetate of copper is the cheapest
and most easily applied poison adapted to this
use. Fears, however, have been raised that
the poison which kills the grubs of the bee.
tie may enter iuto the composition Of the
plant, making the remedy worse than the evil.
Upon this point Professor McMurtrie's ex,
periments tend to dissipate all fears. 10 the
plants that were killed. in the plants that were
STUFFED, and 10 the plants which grew to full
perfection, with the varying amounts of Paris
green Mingled with the soil Of his pots, the
most rigorous chemical analysis could detect no
trace of arsenic 10 the composition of the plant
itself. As to the effect on the growth of crops
he has found that the ntermixture Of this pois-
on with the soil in large quantities destroys
vegetable growth, but that 10 the small quant-
ties requisite for destroying insects it does not
Interfere with or impede it at all.

A HORSE TURNS A BACK SoMERsAULT.-
\ horse in Worcester, Massachusetts,, which
evidently wished to obtain mention in the
newspaper, cut up a singular capcr exactly in
front of the Gazette office the other morning.
Il is handsome black horse, belonging to
Tom Sloane, and attached to a light ,lIIbury,
was trotting smarty along, at the time meE-
toned, when his hind feet slipped on the pave
ment and he fell directly back ward, turning IA
complete back sonersaut and falling fat upon
his back, his legs sticking straight up 10 the
air and his head under the body OF the vehicle.
The whole was but the work of an instant and
how it was all accomplished was wonder even
to those who saw it done. The vehicle was DOT
injured, and only two or three straps of the
harness were broken.

THE FREDERICK Will CAsE.-A decision
was reached ia the United States Supreme
Court last week in the famous Broderick will
case, and the event recalls the checkered
career of the California Senator. He was born
in Washington city, where he learned his trade
of stone mason, and shortly afterwards went
North He first came into prominence as chief
of the New York fire department, where be
achieved great popularity. When the gold
fever broke out he went to California, and was
soon elected to the State Legislature. Subse
queutly he was elected to the United States
Senate, and became an auti.slavery champion.
In 1859 he was challenged by Davis S. Terry,
an accomplished duelist, and was killed, his
dying words being, They have killed me for
opposing the extension of slavery. . During
his lifetime there was none to claim kinship to
him. He devised his property to personal
friends, aud after his death certain persons
came from Australia to claim the estate on the
ground that they were his sisters children.
lie died 10 1857, and the contest has been go.
ing on ever SINCE The Supreme Court sus-
tains the WILL which settles the matter.

The Ench d nfed Island.

[Some of the newspapers have published 3
nil ca of poetry under the title THE Magical
islo in the River Of Time" by B. F. Taylor
The original appeared years before the war,
without any claim of authorship, and is far more
beautiful than Mr. Taylor's imitation We are
not certain that the version given is absolutely
correct but at least it is much superior to the
imitation.
A wonderful stream is the river Time,
AS it runs through the realms Of tears,
With faultless rhyme and musical chime,
With broader sweep and surge sublime,
And blends with the ocean of years.
How the winters arc drifting like flakes of snow,
And the summers like buds between,
And the year in the sheaf, so they come and 60
On the rivers heart with its ebb and flow,
AS it glides in the shadow and sheen
There's magical isle in tie river Time,
Where the softest Of airs are playing;
There's clouiless sky and tropical cime
And song rs sweet rs Vespers chime,
And the Junes with the roses are straylng.
And the name of this island is Long Ago."
And we bury our treasures there:
There are brows OF beauty and bosoms OF snow
There are heaps of dust. but we loved them so
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings,
And part of all infants prayer;
There's Lutte unswept, and harp without
strings;
| There are broken VOWS and piecas of rings,
| And the garments that she used TO wear.
There are hands that are waved whom the fairy
shore
! By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear, through the turbulent
roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before
| When the wind down the ri,e is fair.
Oh! remelu bcred for aye be the blessed isle,
All the day Of life until night
When the evening comes with its besullt Il smile
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile,
May that island of souls be in sight.
