The Anthremus scrophularie.

The Anthren,us scr0phxlari4 has sp-
pesred among Us. 1t 10 . very common and
destructive European insect, but has not
until recently been detected in the United
States. Its peculiar forte is the eating of
carpets, and hence the familiar name "car-
pet bug" which it has won. 1t belongs to
the family Dermestid9, which comprises
several of our most injurious depredators
on animal substances, and is entirely differ
emit in appearance and in habits from the
we'll known carpet moth. 1t cOnceals itself
beneath the borders of carpets nailed to the
floor, and eats away those portions. Coca
si0nally it locates itself in the cracks of the
floor, following which it outs across the en-
tire breadths of carpets, leaving . line
which seems to have been ont by the scis-
sors. 1t destroys new as we'll as old car
pets, and, if allowed to breed and multiply,
may reduce ne to bare floors soon.
Professor j. A. Inter, State entomolo-
gist, describes these interesting Anthrenaus
one-tenth of an inch in length, thickly
clothed with numerous short bristle-like
hairs, and terminating in q pencil of these
forming Q tail. 1t Is exceedingly active in
it's motions, and glides away very rapidly,
and eats Only during the summer months.
He said:
II captured several of the larvG and fed
C00m upon pieces Oh carpet IN OrO0F 10 rear
them. In September they had evidently
matured and had assumed their quieecent
pupal state within the skin of the larva,
first rent by split along the back for the
escape of the perfect insect. At this stage
l was led by q study of it's character to
refer it, in all probability, to the genius
Anthremus. Last week / had the very
great qualification of obtaining from
the pupe the first example of the per-
feet insect. 1t was q very minute beetle,
approximately one. tenth of an inch in
length, but beautifully marked in pretty
arranged combination of red, white and
brown. had, beyond doubt, correctly re-
ferred it to its proper genus. The detec-
ton of this insect adds to our fauna another
species of the dreadful genus Anthremus,
perhaps to equal in it's destructive agency
the well-known museum pest, the A. uarius
formerly known as Il. musgorum), the OBJ
trusive guest of all our collections of
natural history. whose ravages it seems i'm
possible fully to guard against, and 80 ex-
ceedingly difficult to control"
So prevalent has this pest become in
Schenectady, New York, that the carpets
all over the city have had to be taken up
and cleaned. In Utica it has caused serious
alarm. Carpets are not, however, its only
food, as it infests wearing apparel hanging
in closets or laid away in drawers. Unlike
moths, it is said to prey upon cotton

Who Made Hard Times?
From Colonel Ingersoll's speech:

Whenever Democrat talks to you about
hard times tell him: "Your party made the
hard times" Whenever Democrat wants
to get sympathy on account of the national
debt tell him: "Your party made tho ma
tionsl debt" There was Q man tried in
court once for having murdered his own
father and his own mother. He was found
guilty, and the Judge asked him: what
have you to say why sentence of death
should not be pronounced against you'"
Nothing in the world, judge" said he,
"Only hope your honor will have pity on
me, and remember that I am q poor
orphan" loud laughter.] The Demo
cratic party made this debt; the Demo-
cratic party caused these hard times, and
sympathy from the people because the
Democrats are suffering such hard times.
Laughter and cheers
We want no more imitation. We simply
want to pay our debts as fast as the pros
perity of the country allows it, and no faster.
Every speculat0r who was caught
with property on his hands upon
which he owed more than the property
was worth wanted the game to go on
q little longer. Who ever heard of q man
playing poker who wanted to quit when he
was the loser' He wants to have fresh
deal. He wants new sight, and don't
want any man who is ahead to lump the
game. It is so with the spectators in this
country. They bought land, they bought
houses, they bought goods, and when The
Crisis and the crash came they were caught
with this property on their hands, and they
want another imitation. They want another
into the middle of the great financial
stream. That is all. Every lot in this city
that was worth $4,000 and that ia now worth

POINTS IN Corn CULTURE.-A corn
grower in the corn State of Illinois,
makes the following points:
l. In the fall and winter the ground
should be plowed from eight to ten inch
es deep, but in the spring from four to
six inches is deep enough. 1t does not
pay to go down in search of a new farm
at that time of the year.
2. It does not pay to plow corn stalks
under in the spring unless the land is
wet or liable to bake.
3. Corn, drilled one stalk in a hill,
does not grow SO strong at first, and is
harder to Keep clean than if planted two
or more together.
4. Corn checked and plowed both ways
is injured more by storms and drought
than if drilled.
5. Two stalks every two feet has proved
the best with me.
6. Corn that is we'll narrowed and then
ploughed twice, will be cleaner and grow
better than if ploughed three times with
out being narrowed.
We should be pleased to hear the views
Of our corn growing readers on the culti-
vation of this. important staple. 1t will
be useful to compare ideas and methods
of practice, and lessen the cost of a bushel
of corn, if possible.

AN ECCENTRIC TTAvELLER.-Among
the arrivals from the South at Camden Sta
ton recently was rather eccentric-look-
ing old man, apparently about si1ty-fve
years of age, who was attired in knee
breeches, buckle shoes and other garments
of Colonial style. The only thing modern
in his makeup was an old slouch hat,
which looked rather out of place. His
hair is exceedingly long and arrangediu a
queue, and altogether he was the most
sngular-looking individual that has been
seen in this city for long time. He
stated that he was from Boston, and had
been hunting for the last three months
in the interior of Florida. His baggage
consisted of several packages of sugar
cane, palmetto leaves, bear skins, deer
antlers, ETC., which he claimed as bag
gage, saying that he intended to utilize the
the bear skin in provising uniform in
which to visit the Centennial. With the
stag antlers he said he intended to make
a crown to wear on the same OCCASION
He spent most of his time in Baltimore
in wrangling with the officials about his
baggage, and would, he said, institute d
suit for damages because they would not
check it as wearing apparel. AS the
New York train left he was still relating
his grievances to a sympathizing au-
dience on board of the train.-Bdlttmore

OAT STRAw.-On the first of last April
one of our shrewdest surburbans came
into town with an open wagon loaded
with oat straw, which he was anxious to
sell to those about putting down their
spring carpets. He accordingly drove
through tie more quiet streets, crying
"Oat Straw p at the top of his voice.
When the wagon was half emptied, some
fellow put the stump of lighted segar
under the straw and left it to take care
of itek He rode along, crying Goat
Straw !" until, by and by, small boy
said:
"Mister, your cart is a6rew
He had it full in mind that it WAS the
first of April, and took no notice of it,
but kept on.
"say," said gentleman as he parsed,
"your straw is smoking"
"So's your aunt" he replied, looking
very cunning.
"Mister |" screamed red headed wo-
man from an upper chamber window,
'your straw's burning"
"So's your thatch, mum; put your
head in bucket of water, mum, and
'stinguish it. Oat StrawW
Thus he went on, touching his nose at
some alarmist, and replying to Others,
till he met policeman.
"See here" said that functionary, "are
you cussed incendiary, going to burn
the town? Your wagon is all on fire" J"
He dared not reply saucily, but with a
grin assured the man of buttons that he
knew chalk from cheese on the first Of
April, when his horse was suddenly
seized by the head and turned around,
the wind bringing the smoke full into
the drivers face.
"Fire" he yelled. Goat Straw!-

A HUNDRED YEARS TO COME.

In these days when the Centennial reign
in every story and song, we may fitl
pause to read the following beautifu
lines:
Where, where will be the birds that sing
A hundred years to come?
The flowers that now in beauty spring,
A hundred years to come?
The rosy lip, the lofty brow,
The hearts that beat so gayly now?
o, where will be loves beaming eye,
joys pleasant. smiles, and sorrows sigh,
A hundred years to come?
Who'll press for gold this crowded street,
A hundred years to come?
Who tread yon church with willing feet,
} A hundred years to come?
Pale trembling age. and fiery youth,
And childhood with its brow of truth
The rich, the poor, on land and sea;
A hundred years to come?
We all within our graves will sleep,
A hundred years to come?
No living soul for rs will weep
A hundred years to come.
But other men our lands will till,
And other men our streets will fill,
While other birds will sing as gay;
As bright the sunshine as to-day,
A hundred years to come.
