% A BLIGHTED VINEYARD. last
Saturday Prof. Cook, of the Agricul-
.tural College, visited the fruit farm of
Edward Lyon, on Crosse Isle, below
Detroit, to Investigate the grape blight
i'm that vicinity. He found the beau
tiful vineyard of Mr.. Lyon suffering
from the blight, the fruit being
withered and, worthless. Two years
ago this vineyard brought its owner
an Income of 5000. He has num-
Der of varieties, and none were entire
ly free from the blight, although the
Rodgers No. . and the Salem were
not so badly affected as some others.
The Rodgers No. A, Concord and Clin-
ton were very badly injured. Prof.
Cook thinks the blight was principally
caused by too much dampness,
although the grounds are nicely
drained. He recommends pruning
heavily, drain the grounds as thor
oughly rs possible, and not allow too
much fruit to hang on the vines. We
said that the professor ascribed the
principal cause to dampness, but he
also discovered the 2ohylloGerd in con-
siderable numbers--the insect which
has caused such havoc in the vipe-
yards of France. This insect has also
been detected in other vineyards by
Prof. Beal,, apd the. day is not distant

SIEGE OF GIBRALTAR. },

The most memorable, in some respects, OF
all the fourteen sieges to which Gibraltar
has been subjected, was the last, called the
great SIEGE" one of the mighty struggles Of
history, which began in the year ITO. The
famous General Elliot was commander OF
the fortress. Spain, in alliance with Franc,
and Morocco, endeavored to surprise Gibral
tar; but Swedish ship gave Elliot tn,
alarm. The. garrison comprised five com
panies Of artillery, and the whole force was
lie, than 5000 men. The enemy's force wa
1900. The siege began by the blockading
of the port, and camp was formed at San
Rogue, with the design of starving out the
gan rison. When the English governor re-
solved to open fire upon his besiegers a lady
in the garrison fired the first shot. Never
did a siege of war rage more furiously than
did this for nearly three years. The gar
rison was often reduced 10 sore straits for
food-"a goose was worth a guinea"-and
Elliot tried upon himself the experiment of
living uI On four ounces Of rice day for a
week.
. Exciting stories are told Of privateers that
ran in amid terrible dangers, with pro-
visions, and Of the storms which threw well
come wood and cork within reach Of the be-
sieged. The rock at one time would have
been taken had not Admiral Rodney, who,
sailing off the strait, captured a feet OF
Spanish war ships and merchantmen, and
clearing the strait Of besiegers, brought his
prize into port. But all danger was not yet
averted; Gibraltar was again blockaded !;
scurvy broke ont in the garrison, and Morec-
co refused her harbors to English ships. The
enemy crept closer and closer 10 the fortress;
but relief coming now and then enabled the
English still to hold out. The lombard
ment was fearful to endure. The city; was
almost destroyed scarcely house habitablc,
aud those left pierced by shot and shell. AT
one time the desperate garrison fell 70 pltin-
deripg the town; Elliot shot the leader in
this Outrage. The long agony, full Of ter
rife combats and frightul priyatiops, ended
by, the final abandonment Of the seige early
in 1884. Ifin that year the English had 10
make up their minds that they must let 90
their American colonies, they had at least the
consolation. that Gibraltar was atiiI theirs.

THE oovENANTER TO HIS SWORD.

Fathers made a succesS against the tyranny
Of the British throne, was but a continuation
of the old Covenanters struggles, and was
largely aided by their sons in this land
