A Polish Greeting.

The Rev. A. Mielcuszny, pastor of o
Polish church in New York city, has re-
Gently received from his countrymen in
Europe an address in the Polish Ian
guage on the occasion of the centennial
of American independence, which,
translated and undersigned by the Poles
here, will be sc mt to President Grant in
Washington. The text runs thus:
"AMER1cANs-A hundred years has
passed away since you attained by your
spirit and arms your independence, one
of the dearest national treasures, and
you have begun to build up the land of
your fathers, which has attained such
great prosperity. In this Unreasonable
undertaking Poles took part, and the
Poles of to-day, who keep in their hearts
fervent love for these treasures, are
struggling for the same. The Polish
people, wrestling during q hundred
years with their enemies, who are try
ing to extirpate them, see in your pro-
gress their own, and they have mani
tested their sympathy to you in your ma
tional struggle. The grateful American
people have immortalized the memory
of mutual feelings by the erection of
monuments to Pulaski and Kosciusko,
whose names are engraved deep on the
hearts of all. Happier than we, you
have reached new world; you are the
vanguards of liberty, and you give an
example of adherence to faith and opin-
ions to all men. Europe may well be
jealous of you in this matter. In the
present festival time of your national
jubilee, the Poles in the midst of their
ruin and oppression, but full of faith in
the restoration of tho liberty of their
fatherland, reach the fraternal hand to
you, wishing you splendid existence,
and still greater development of your
national life. United with you through
the ties of national efforts in tho holy
cause of independence, we say, may the
United States of America long pros

A Tiny Watch.

A matchmaker of New Castle has in
vented piece of ingenious mechanism,
which is thus described It consists of
a set of gold studs, in one of which is a
miniature watch, which keeps excellent
time. The combined weight of the two
studs and the watch, which are all con-
nected together, is one ounce and a
half. The face of the watch is about the
size of silver three cent place, and with
its surroundings of gold, looks much
like small compass. When the watch
and studs are on shirt front they are
about two inches apart, and by turning
the upper one Tin the same manner that
stem winding watch is wound) the
timepiece is wound. In setting the
hands the lower stud is revolved. The
most remarkable thing about the time
piece is that it is not like ordinary
watches. but has a pendulum resembling
that OF q clock. The pendulum will
move correctly in whatever position the
watch is placed-even when it is re-
versed and run at the top instead Of the
bottom,

fury in some OF tho churches in Italy,
but it was not until the eleventh century
that glass windows were seen in Eng
land. Previous to that time, shutters
made of wood, strained linen cloth, Or
paper soaked in oil, were in fashion,
and continued to be used for two or
three centuries longer by the common
people, glass being luxury that only
the rich could afford. So lite as the
year 1867 there is en- account of a survey
of Amwick Castle, in which the recon-

The Potato Beetle.

A letter was read at the American
farmers club from II. b. Byington, AL
bion, N. Y, who desired to hear the men,
bers' opinions as to the most effective
remedy for the potato bug; also, if
there is not some less dangerous remedy
than the paris green so largely recon-
mended.
In reply President N. G. Ely read a
letter from Professor Packard, which
has recently been published by the Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station at Mid
dletown, Conn. In this Professor Pack
ard stated that the potato bug may be
looked for early in June. Its eggs will
be found on the under surface of the
leaves. The beetle itself is roundish
insect half an inch long. 1t is larger
than the lady bug, which it resembles.
The grub is thick, fat, and orange red in
color, lives about ten days on the leaves
and stems, after which it enters the
ground to become beetle. Thus near
ly all the life of the insect is passed on
the plant. The offspring of last years
beetles will begin to lay eggs in about
fifty days from the time the egg from
which itself sprung was deposited.
Probably not more than two crops of
them will appear in our climate, but each
female is capable of producing 900 eggs.
The remedies suggested in this letter
are hand picking, both of the mature
beetle, the grubs and the eggs. These
should all be burned. Paris green is
also largely used. 1t may be mixed
with plaster, -four or fine dry earth, and
busted on the plants from a sitter, or APP
piled stirred up in water, about table
spoonful to bucketful, and thrown
from syringe or sprinkled from wat
ering pot. In either case care must be
taken not to breathe the dust or handle
with the naked hands. Professor Pack
ard advised that no time be lost, as the
beetle has appeared in alarming num-
bers in many parts of the East.
John Crane again advocated the paris
green thrown on in sprays.
E. Ware Sylvester thought the great
secret of success lay in attacking the
beetle early, and approved of paris
green in the proportions advised in the
letter, thrown from watering pot with
a small rose perforated with small holes.
DIR. Trimble agreed in the main with
Professor Packard's statements, but
could not comprehend that the female
lays so many eggs.

A Singular Man.

An eccentric man, who died short
time ago, had left written directions mi
nutely describing how he wished to be
buried. On the hillside above his resi-
dence he had prepared for himself q
sepulcher cut in the solid rock, with a
stone fitted into the opening, that was
to be sealed up with cement. He de-
sired that no sexton, undertaken or
hearse should be employed at his funer-
al. His coffin was made by a workman
from blackwalnut which he had kept in
his house for this purpose. The coffin
was to be sealed up in lead lined box.
The funeral was to take place immedi-
ntely after breakfast, and the only ser
horses were to convey him to the tomb,
and he had selected eight pail bearers.
These directions were followed at the
funeral.

Singular Trance Case.

In the Brooklyn, IN. W trance case,
so-called, q few days ago, there was not
left o shadow OF doubt that Ida Wal.
theirs was dead, but the remarkable fact
in connection with the case is that her
mother narrowly escaped burial alive in
Germany. A case very similar to that
OF Mrs. Walthers is recorded early in
the century at q place called Hay, in
Wales, in the person OF q woman named
Prosser, who had for O long time been
ailing. Her body was laid out by an
experienced nurse, usually employed on
such occasions, who on returning to the
house, in about six hours, and observ-
ing that the hands had been moved,
concluded that some one had been in
the room but on going up to the sup
posed corpse, was staggered at the
words: "Do not close my mouth for
! am not quite dead" When Mrs.
Prosser recovered sufficiently to sit up
in her room, she declared that she had
heard all the conversation which passed
relative to her funeral, but, from ex-
treme weakness, had not the power Of
speech or motion. It is in warm weather
that the greatest danger of o mistake &C.
cars, more especially in the case OF poor
persons in crowded quarters, who are
naturally anxious to be relieved as
speedily as possibly of such an encum-
brance. The system which prevails in
Mayence and other German towns would
be likely to prove great boon to many
poor families. The body is removed to
a place especially appointed, oil pre-
cautions being meanwhile taken to &c.
cure immediete attention should the
supposed deceased give signs of life.
That the apprehension of this dreadful
fate preys upon the minds of many, is
evident from the requests made and
directionsleft. The late Lord Lytton was
mUst urgent in his injunctions on this
point, leaving, if we remember Alright,
orders that even surgical operation
was to be performed to ascertain beyond
a doubt that he was dead. 1t may have
been that this was suggested by the ex-
perience of an English peeress who
revived when in her coffin, in oonse-
quence OF n person cutting off her finger
to secure q valuable ring, keepsake
which she had requested to have buried
with her. NJ. Bouchut says that the
only infallible tests, without resorts to
such expedients rs these, are the stetho.
scope and decomposition. The former
in capable hands amply suffices. How
ever, deathlike may be disappearance,
the beating of the heart is always per-
ceptble in the case of those in whom
life is not extinct.
