A Complete Remedy for the To
baCcO Ely.

DIR. Sypert came in last week to
have published for tho benefit Of
the planting community, COM
plete and perfect remedy for fly,
and yet as simple as it is effective.
1t is simply to stretch over the
bed sheet, made of n thin, cheap
domestic, which can be bought at
five cents Il yard. 1t is called
quilt lining and brown muslin.
Five dollars will cover hundred
square yards Of bed.
DR.. Sypert has tried it and has
preserved the bed on which it was
tried while all the others near are
eaten W. tie puts it on, with a
few small stakes over the bed to
raise it above the plants. aud pin
ned down closely around the edge.
The plants grow we'll under it. i,
admits light and the bugs and flies
can't got in. The bed should be
swept clear of all bugs and trash.
DIR, Sypert has found the expert
ment SO completely successful that
he came in to get domestic to put
over his other beds where he has
plants coming up. The broom
with which the bed is swept should
be very fine so as not to tear the
plants. Those who use this NAV
we are assured, rest in perfect So
curity. Those who know DR.. Sy.
pert will not need to be told tha,
he mover speaks until he knows
what he says. The doctor Is ben
efactor, and the wonder is some
body has not thought of so obvious
plan before.-Uarkutlte Tobaeet

MORAL CoURAGE.-A great deal
of talent is lost in the world for
the want ofa little courage. Every
day sends to the grave Il number
obscure men, who have only re.
mained in Of obscurity because
their timidity has prevented thine
from making first effort, and who
if they could hvae been induced to
begin, would in all probability
have gone great lengths in fame.
RUMoR is no respecter of persons
Nothing is so great as to be above
its reach, so small as to escape its
scrutiny. Now it is busy about the
characters and souls of men, anc
anon it takes cognizance of tn,
cut their coats and the manner
of their salutation, building its
theories on one, and drawing it
differences from the other as thougl
it were dealing with solid fact
and foregone conclusions.

COLORED CONJURERs.

The Little Rock (Ark) Gazette
says: A few weeks since the grand
jury in Lincoln county was made
aware of the existence of u band
of negro "conjurers.7 One of the
party, who, it seems, had less faith
tn an his companions "peached, -
nd the secret was exposed. Off
GERS ofthe aw were at:onee placed
in possession of the facts, and
a in day or two the ring-leaders
were in custody. The negroes had
collected what they designated as
a "conjurirg mess,' by the aid of
which they were to become bold
and defiant burglars. The mess
was as follows: Two human fin
gers, u burnt COW norma saucer Of
lard, several pieces Of load-stone a
silve' threc-cent piece, some homo
made tobacco, pod of red
pepper, a piece of bamboo root, a
bird snest, some red flannel, a piece
OF skin from the heel of q hu man
being, some negro hair, large
needle and an earth worm. The
suprestitious gang proposed to
boil this. disgusting conglomeration
believing the fingers would burn
like candles, and aid them in their
criminal designs. The parties who
were arrested thought that who
ever inhaled the odor of the
"mess" would become unconscious
and that they could rob and per-
haps murder without danger to
themselves. The Herald, published
at Star City, says the grave of a
negro was robbed TO obtain the
fingers. which were cut from the
hand, and that the matter will be
fully investigated and the guilty
parties punished to the full extent
of the law.

PERSoNATING JURYMEN.-They have at

in the jury box and answered TO the name of
Angus Fraser, whom he had agreed to perSo-
nate for the purpose. On discovery of the
fraud being made, the man explained that ne
had done the thing in innocencs and Simpli-
city, believing 'it was a usual thing to do"
and that an official of the Court had told him
lit would be all right" The Judge there
upon discharged him with a repimand filming
the genuine Fraser $40, This does not tell
well for the Liverpool jury system or for the
anxiety of the Court to reform it. Such an
offence in this country would have met a
much more severe punishment and the Court
officer who connived at it would or ought TO
have been dismissed.
