Injuries the plant by retarding it's growth,

lungs are to animal life.
Where scale or red spider have accumu-
lated, as they will in warm, dry atmo-
sphere, or in dark situations, whale oil or
soap suds showered over the leaves and
sponged off on the under side, or turning
the bottom up and dipping the whole down
into the decoction, will remove the pests.
Where plants are crowded into too small
space, they will generate the aphis or green
fly, and the "Trip and mealy bug. Smok-
ing or washing the plants thoroughly will
destroy these also.
Above all, give your plants plenty of
fresh air and all the sunshine possible.
But few plants will grow in the shade, and
this class chiefly belong to the begonia
family and few varieties Of vines; among
them are the smilax and the ommon ivy.

PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES,
FROM
Damaging Testimony against SEN.
atOr Sargent.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 5.
Pay Inspector Fulton, yesterday, in
the Spalding Court martial, testified
for the defense that in May, 1874, both
he and Paymaster Clarke urged Gen.
Watmough to send solne one to relieve
Spalding here. Watmough referred
them both to Senator Sargent. They
waited on him and ne said it made no
difference to him who relieved Spald-
ing, but that he wanted Pinney TO re-
main in the Office As Chief Clerk. Pin
n.y was a good man and made a good
speech. Witness continued that the
reason he or Clarke did no. relieve
Spalding WAS because neither OF them
would retain Spinney. The above evil
dence has caused much comment, to
the effect that Sargent runs not only
the civil patronage OF the Government
on this coast but also the army and
navy.

On the night of the Sd instant, Mrs.
Margaret Lyman, wife Of John Ly-
man, died at her home in Virginia
City. Her husband had on that day
been fined $3.50 by the Police Judge for
brutally beating her, and there is but
little doubt but that she took her W
life to rid herself of the cowardly brute
who it appears had for q long time
been in the habit OF abusing her most
s~hamefully. The following letter was
found upon her person. HE has done
things that bring me to my death, so l
hope that God will reward him ac-
cording to his deeds. John Lyman
has so many times threatened my lite
that 1 had to do this. I hope that this
house, and everything that is in it. will
be given to my two children, Johnny
and Howard O'Neill." The husband
has been arrested for the murder. but
the probabilities are that he is only
guilty in a moral point of view and
that he can not be held legally re-
sponsible for her death.

Three New Industries.

Three new industrial enterprises are
struggling for existence and awaiting rec0g-
milton in this country:
l. The fax industry, by which some $685.
600, 900 annually could be saved which is
now paid to Europe. We have all the fer
tile soil, and our people are waiting to raise
the fibre. Who will see to it that this in
dustry has helping hsndq
The sugar beet industry. BY which we
could easily save another $25, 900 600 which
is now paid to assist elave-hOlding Spain.
There are successful mills in California and
one in Illinois. Our farmers want the en-
plOyment, and will not some one give this
industry lift
3. The alapacs industry is apparently
more firmly established than either of the
others, and is more hopeful of success.
The mohair is raised to q considerable ex-
tent in Georgia, Kansas and Nebraska, and
more largely still in California and Oregon.
Three factories are already in existence-
one at jamestown, New York, one at Chic
opee Falls, Massachusetts, and one, the
oldest and most successful, at Holyoke,
Massachusetts. These industries are justly
a part of the pursuits of our people, and
should be encouraged until firmly estab-
lished. 1t can not be said that pro-
sgement to mOnOpOlies. The farmer
must first raise the beets, the fax
and the mohair, then the IN 4chinist must
furnish the machinery, the lumberman and
brlckmaker the building materials, and the
laborer and operatives must he employed
in all the branches to do the work. In the
beets there will be food for cattle and fer
tllizers left from the product Of sugar; in
the fax there is eeed and tow as we'll AS
fibre, and in the mohair the goat furnishes
near, enriches poor soil, and the pelts are
SO valuable that these animals are raised in
one section in Californis for their pelts alone
for mats, mittens, etc Shall we have these
three additional sources of wealth estab-
lished?-N Louis Journal.

A 6HO6TLY WARNING.
BY ETHEL c. GALE,

l call it ghostly warning because.
though it came not in the night-watches.
IN far-away tones, from the thin lips of a
filmy apparition, it did come to me in he
name OF dear friend long since gone to
the Unknown Land.
In the spring Of 1875 I visited New
YORK, and, wishing to be entirely free for
the business which necessitated nv pres
ence there, instead of going to the house
OF relative, engaged board in convent
ent locality under the same roof with an
acquaintance. Excepting this lady, one
friend and cousin, no one to whom
was known was, during the first week,
aware that was in the city. This cousin,
very favorite one, then CHANGED to be in
America for few weeks, having left his
wife and family temporarily alone in their
home at Paris. AS G-'s evenings
hung rather heavily on his hands while
away from his family, to which he was
always devoted, he was good enough to
enliven by his welcome presence many
OF mine, which otherwise would have
Oeen as dull as evenings in a boarding
mouse 1uii OF strangers must always be,
One morning, perhaps the third or
fourth after my arrival, came the warning,
delivered IN a very straightforward, pro-
salc, unghostly way by the letter carrier.
One always examines the outside of a let.
ter to see whom it is from, probably for
sne same reason that leads one to listen to
what other people say about ones friends
before hearing what these have to saw for
themselves. looked at this letter Curl
ously. 1t was postmarked in the citv at
nve O'Clock OF the previous afternoon.
YET IL was directed in hand had never
expected TO see again save when looked
with fearful eyes over bundle of yellow
old letters tied up carefully in corner of
my desk at home. 1t was curious. I
thought, that this rather peculiar cbiro-
graphy should be duplicated. Then
1 observed, with a start, that the
middle name in the direction was
not that which belongs to me, but
one which had adopted for two or three
years of my childhood, preferring it to
the family name which my parents gave
me. had outgrown this whim and re-
turned to my baptismal name, but the
friend referred to always took sort of
pleasure in reminding me of this and sew
eral other childish fancies which we had
held in common. No one now living, SO
far as Was aware, SO much as knew that
had ever signed the name now saw be-
fore me.
So my curiosity was well awake before
