PoTATo BUa ENEMIKs. Colorado potatoe beetle, or potato bug, as 1t is gen. erally called, has just found its match in the shape of mite parasite. Professor
 Riley, at meeting of the St. Louis Acad- emy of Science, exhibited 8 potatoe bug which was so completely covered with 8 mite parasite that the point of 8 needle could not be placed on any part of the beetles body without touching one of the parasites. He estimated the number of mites at 800. The bug had been attacked by these enemies and killed. The potato bug seems to have 8 number of natural en- emes, such as the toad, the crow, the rose breasted grossbeak. and domestic fowls. There are no less than twenty-three insect enemies that attack to kill 1t. The bug has also been migi ating eastward across the continent for several years. until 1t has reached the Atlantic ocean. We hope it may find a watery grave, and let the waves sing it's requiem. Rocky Mountain Nesos'

MIsspRNT EvENINGS.-The boy who spends au hour of each evening lounging on the street corners, waste in the course of year 366 precious hours, which If ap, piled to study, should familiarize him with the rudiments of almost any of the familiar sciences. If in addition to wasting an hour each evening, , he spends ten cents for ci- gar which IS usually the case, the amount thus worse than wasted, would pay for ten of the leading periodicals of the country. Boys, think of these things. think of how much time and money you are spending and for what The qualification afforded by the lounge on the corner, or the cigar are not only temporary, but positively hurt ful. You cannot Indulge in them without seriously injuring yourselves. You acquire idle and wasteful habits, which will cling to you with each succeeding year. You may in after life shake them off, but the probabilities are that the habits thus formed in early life will remain with you to your dying day. Be warned then, in time, and resolve that as the hour spent in idleness is gone forever, you will improve each pass ing one, and thereby fit yourself for useful ness and happiness.

One of the effects of the Centennial, which is going to be felt similarly all over the world, and which is to be one of the paying results, is shown in the fact that an Austrian professor has been featuring upon American boilers and steam apparatus as judged by what he saw at the Exhibition. He unhesitatingly declared this country to be far ahead of Austria, not only in the amount, but in the quality of such products. He said our manufactures had way of proving 50 satisfactory that countries which got hold of them were bound to retain their hold and he cited Russia ordering large quantities gun powder from here because of the superiority of our manufacture. People who thought the Americans did nothing but raise crops and buy other coun- tries manufactures, had good deal yet to learn,

One of the most melancholy and remark able of Mir. Bergh's unfortunate successes is recorded in the New York papers of Thursday. Conrad c. Gargost was fined
 on Bergh's prosecution, fifty dollars fo, killing cat. The story the condemned man told. was in effect. that hearing hor. fible tumult with heartrending cries and shrieks of hateful force upon his house top he rushed in terror to the roof. As he burst open the scuttle and appeared, a cat, the direful spring of all the woes that had worried him, took fright at his coming and hastily retreated off the roof to the ground, making step five stories long, ending iO death. Ordinary persons would regret that the other cat or cats, for these warblers sing in chorus, did not die too; but Bergh, on the contrary, successfully prosecutes fol cruelty. On what the decision is based re. port says rot. It rests probably on the interpretation of the old principle of Eng- fish common law that "cat may look at g king" Of course, whoever kills the cal interferes with Its prescribed privileges.

The Bender family, in Kansas. some time ago, were detected in having com mitted lot of the most abominable and |. treacherous murders eyer heard of, lndlg- nation was intense, and parties at orce started in pursuit: but, though Renders were reported all over the country, not one was ever found and tho officers of the law were laughed at, as usual, for their Tn" efficiency. Now comes very rationtl cx- planation. A 'fiLe looking gentleman"has told some body that the Blenders were sus. pected defore they were detected. A vigi- lance committee met an1 took them away and forced confessions from them. These confessions were so horrible that the vigi- lantes strung up the whole lot. Then they went to the Bender home, and by what they had exorted, were able to point at once to the hidden clothes and treasures aud bones, and to expose all the rascality. This accounts for the absence of BenC CTS from the face of the earth. and has about it all the naivete and straightforward ness of western narration, carrying not on- ly conviction, but so to speak, execution also with it.

SWIMMING AMONG THE AsoRIGINRs.- Catlin states that the mode of swimming among the Mandans, as well as among most of the other tribes, Is quite different from that practised iu those parts of the civilized world which he had visited, and alleges that much of the fatigue and strain upon the breast and spine are avoided, and the strength and breath preserved much longer than by the usual method of nata- ton. He observes ''The 1ndian, ,linstead of parting his hands simmultaneously under the chin, and making the stroke outward in horizontal direction, causing thereby a serious strain upon the chest, thr ows his body alternately upon the left and the right side, raising one arm entirely above the water, and reaching as far forward as he can, to dip 1t, while the whole weight and force IS spout upon the one that is passing under him, and like paddle propel!ing him along. Whilst this arm is making half circle. and is being raised out of the water behind him, the opposite arm is describing similar arch in the ar over his head, to be dipped In the water az far as he can reach before him, with the hand turned under, forming a sort of bucket to act most effect lively as 1t passes in its turn underneath him By thls bold and powerful mode of swim- ming, which may want the grace that many may wish to see, am quite sure from the experence have had. that much of the fatigue and stain upon the breast and spine are avoided, and th at man will pre- serve his strength and his breath much longer Tn this alternate and rolling motion than he can in the usual mode of swim ming in the polished world"

And then Mrs, Merriweather's voice was heard floating over the front fence like the song of a bird ln the night t: ''Erastus Merriweather if you go off with out splitting wood enougd for the kitchen stove, I'll do some haymskipg in that car rotty head o'yourn thatll make you wish that this country never had president. ?

THE TRRRoRs OF THE LAw.-Many men in business circles in New York, remember James Fl. Elmore, and Aaron A. Degrauw. The former accumulated fortune of $200, 900 in che manufacture of gas fixtures, but not wishing to be idle or have his mind un- occupied, speculated little in stocks. He had an elegant country seat at Jamaica, and @ wife and family to whom he was greatly devoted. MT, Degrauw was also resident of Jamaica, was wealthy man, political leader, and friend of Elmore's. Togeth- CT they started the Railroad from East New York to Jamaica, and they had business in the coal and oil business. Degrauw fin ally accused Elmore of putting some worth less coal stock on him, and refusing to take it back for it's face. This led to lawsuit, and in short time there appeared upon the court calendars several cases. "Degrauw vs. Elmore," and "Elmore vs. Degrauw." These were lengthy suits, and nearly every trial resulted in favor of Degrauw. Then the cases were taken to the Court of ap. peals, sent back for trial, and again carried up. In the meantime these numerous liti' gations proved expensive and ruinous tc the defeated party, Finally Elmore wat taken sick. and for some time his recovery was considered doubtful. Then when he came out he was a cripple. The judg ments which had been obtained agains him were placed in the hands of tue Sheriff who proceeded with his levies, Mrs. Ell more and her daughter became sick from the trouble, and the daughter died, He mother followed her some time after, ant Elmore's fortune was swept away, leaving him dependent upon his friends. Even hi household effects were seized and sold
 His son Charles, Deputy clerk in th' Court of Appeals, left his position to rc turn home and aid his father in his trouble but he was killed on the Pennsylvania Rail road. Elmore's intellect finally gave way and he became maniac, and he has jus been removed to the Poughkeepsie Lunatit Asylum, where he will probably die.

A SINGULAR D1soovRRY.-A discovery of the first importance to mariners has been made by the United States steamer Gettys- burg, During the Getteysburg's voyage from FaYal to Gibraltar, she discovered an immense coral bank hitherto unknown. The observations taken locate the bank in latitude 36:S0, longitude ll:2S. The Get tYsburg anchored on the bank and surveyed 1t November 17th. Unfortunately she could not remain longer, but was obliged to proceed to Gibralter on account of short ness of coal and necessary repairs to ma. chinerY. A buoy was left and the pre- vious observations carefully verified on the following day, after which the Getteysburg steamed to Gibralter. During the voyage she experienced very rough weather and suffered considerable injury in gale. She will refit and return at the earliest day to continue her survey of the coral bank. As yet only anchorage depths were found, but the survey was necessarily very hastily made and the soundings were by no means complete, The least depth found was thirty fathoms lso feet), but this depth of water in mid ocean isn't significant. Tne commander of the Gettysburg believes that the coral rises to the surface on some part of the bank. Twenty miles west of the bank he found the startling depth of l6, 300 feet. and between the bank and cape St. Vincent IF, 900 feet. The bank is rich in valuable coral of delicate light pink shades. As a commercial discovery, aside from its possible importance to navagators. there seems to be millions in It." The discov- cry has created unusual interest among her majesty's naval officers at Gibralter. They regard 1t as an exceedingly extraordinary fact that it has so long remained unknown. considering the large number of vessels of all sorts annually passing near or directly over the bank. The commander of the Gettysburg has mailed full details of the survey to the navy department at Wash ingtou.
