Potato Bugs.

There is no abatement to the pota-
to-bug nuisance. No laws, no voice
of public opinion, no sedative, no ex-
tinguisher can silence him. For a
time, while the snow covered the
earth, and while the tender shoots
of Spring began to appear, the pOta-
to-bug was not. Men foolIshly fan
cied that he was gone forever. But
his season of privacy was brief. As
the season for potatoes and nOmi-
mating conventions drew near; he
crawled to the surface once more.
He recounted the fearful doses
which he had suffered during the
previous season. He looked long
ingly to the green fields now thriv-
ing beneath the peaceful sunshine,
and announced himself ready to be-
gin again. This is a bug which new
er says die, and he is ''to the fore"
as long as life lasts. Let no man
question the wisdom of Providence
which permits the existence of the
persistent and everlasting potato
bug. Like all other evils, he has his
uses. He teaches US patience; and
his vitaIiny in defeat, his refusal to
be thoroughly dead while potato
tops last, should be an example. If
he fancies that this is his world, as he
doubtless does, and that the uni
verse is touched by his wrongs and
prosecutions with Paris green and
soap-suds, so does mankind, in some
of It's aspects, resemble him. The
potato-bug does we'll to be of good
cheer. He is a perennial nuisance.

A new Steam Street Car-,rhe COnfed-
crate General ImbOden's
Invention.

General John D. Imboden has in
vented and perfected a system of
steam Tor street cars that promises
TO influence IN a large degree the
railway companies and public in
their decision as to whether steam
or horsepower shall be generally
used for the lOcOmOtion of these CON
vevances. There will be a public
trial of the invention to-day. The
engine is an independent sub-motor
"a complete machine of itself, and
can be attached to any of the pres
ent horse-cars. 1t is simple, easily
handled, cheap, and, better than all,
causes no discomfort to passengers,
1t being out of their sight, smell
and hearing. 1t has its own frame
work, wheels and springs, carries its
coal, water and engineer, and sus-
talns half the weight of the car and
passengers, the other half being car
ried by single pair of car wheels
just in front of the rear platform.
The car body is pivoted at its front
end, on the engine, resting on bed
plate and springs over the boiler.
The engine has four driving wheels,
with a wheel base of only four feet,
and, owing to the simple, pivoted
connection with the car body, it is
capable of curving freely. The boil
er is horizontal, with simply a verti-
Gle furnace and steam dome under
the drivers seat, which is outside
the front of the car.
This ''test" car has been made of
the same size as that of an ordinary
horse car, so as to demonstrate
thoroughly that, in order to convert
the latter into a locomotive, nothing
is necessary but to take off It's front
wheels, put this handy little engine
in their place, and nail up the front
door. The interior and the rest of
the car can be left intact. The new
car occupies four feet less space
than one of the dummies now in use
on Market street, and ten feet less
than horse car, the horses being
dispensed with.
General ImbOden is the sole inven-
tor. He was Brigadier- General of
Calvary in the Confederate army,
and district commander of that por-
tion of Virginia, west of the Blue
Ridge. He has resided in this city
little more than a year, having
come to the Centennial Exhibition |
as judge on the group of hard
ware, cutlery, and finer productions !
of metal; and also Chairman of the |
Judicial Committee on the exhibit of |
Tobacco. One day, while riding out
to the Exhibition, he saw two street !
car horses Frustrated by heat, and |
then, for the first time, he thought
of inventing something to relieve
the noblest of quadrupeds, as well |
as to give more agreeable travelling |
accommodations to the public.

Out of Work.

This is the cry in every town and
village throughout the entire coun-
try from Maine to California, and
still there are two sides to the story,
for nine out of every ten of the men
who cannot find anything to do,
would not accept work at fair wages
II offered them. As a good sample
OF their earnest endeavOrs to find
work, we may cite a recent instance
occurring in Indianapolis, Qnd.,)
Where several thousand men demand
ed work or bread. The proprietors
of stone quarry at Vandalia offer
ed employment to large number of
these, and free passes were given for
the railroad. Eighteen accepted the
passes, but only five used them, and
not one of the latter went to work.
Is it any wonder that business flags
and capitalists prefer to loan money
at three per cent. rather than risk it
where they will be at the mercy of
Trades Unions and untrustworthy
laborerS generally? No sooner does
a man get the foundation of build
ing fairly under way, than the ma
sons and other laborers employed
strike, and force him to pay higher
wages or lose that which he has al
ready invested.
A few DAYS since the foundation
stone for a new silk-mill was laid in
Paterson, n. j., and the next day
the operatives in all the other mills
struck, declaring that if business was
good enough to insure the building
of another mill, it was good enough
to pay better wages in those COM
pleted; and this is the way it seems
to go in all branches of business
the laborer blocking up the path and
preventing a revival of trade and
better times generally. 1t looks very
much to us as though it was the
poor who were making hard times,
instead of capitalists and "blOated
monOpolies;" at least, we know it is
so in this city, if not elsewhere.

In the woods of Nevada.

A book agent of this city has just
returned from the Bonney Lake
country. The agent one day stop
ped at a cabin situated in the edge
of the foot hills. Before reaching
the cabin about dozen dogs OF
assorted sizes and unrecOgnizeable
breeds started up from under stunt
ed pines or came running from sheds
about the place, yelping and bark
ing like a pack of coyotes. In the
wake of the dogs swarmed forth sew
en- or eight bare-headed, f1axen-hair-
ed children, plainly all of one breed
the forest breed, the juveniles
were followed by a gaunt, saffron
complexioned woman, of about forty.
BY cooking for many years before
an open fire, she had become as et-
fectuallv smoked-cured as any herln.
To the woman who thus appear
ed the agent made known his ouSl-
ness.

Birds, Fascination for Light.

Prof. Spencer F. Baird, in let
Ter from Cape Hatteras, published in
the american Sportsman, says:
"On the night of October II, 1876,
l was on the top of Cape Hatteras
light house. 1t was a very dark
night and 'misting.' The wind was
blowing thirty-fVe miles per hour
from the northeast. AS soon as it
was fairly dark 1 could see thou
sands of small birds flying around
the leeward of the tower. 1t was a
grand sight, as the lens of the light
would perform its steady revolution,
throwing its dazzling rays upon
them while seeking shelter by how
ering close up under the lee of the
tower. As soon as the light would
fall upon them they would fly from
it and come in contact with the
lantern with such force that they
were instantly killed. At one time
the whole element was ablaze with
them shining in the rays of the
light like myriads of little stars or
meteorS. The moon arose by ten
o'clock, which Afforded them light
to 90 on their way south flor they
were coming from the north and go
ing down the coast SOUTH. L do
not think one bird stopped or went
into the woods at all, as not one was
seen, for 1 particularly noticed.
After the moon was up one of the
birds came striking the lantern gloss.
| went out and gathered from the
balcony of the watch-room and lam
tern three hundred and fifty dead
birds, beside one hundred and forty
more that were picked up next
off the ground at the foot
of the tower, which had been blown
off the balconies. They were a Spe,
cies known here as myrtle bird or
winter yellow bird. They are about
the size of the sparrow, with gray
back and head and yellow breast.
They are excellent food"

DIsgusted win Base-bnnIng.

A writer in the New \ ork Iri6-
tl,e saws of base ball: "The game
has assumed the most serious gamb-
linc aspect. 1t is wasting the time
of men and women, and utterly un-
fitting children to pursue their school
studies; in short it is, by example
and Precept, sapping the very fOun-
dation of virtue and industry. The
newspapers, especially the country
ones, are largely to blame for the
present furious mania. VIII you
not raise the warning cry against
the great evil, and thus arouse the
nation to a Just sense of its responsi,
bility? Do this, and God and every
true father and mother in the land
will bless YOU" The writer is evi-
IDENTIFY sincere, and his sentiments
are very nearly correct; but we feel
strangely impressed that he IS an
amateur who has retired in disgust
after vainly trying to stop "hot-
liner" with his front teeth.

American PIOughs in Russia

The recent victory of American
implements in Russia has some pic
turesque features. When Mr.. Ko-
lyszko returned from the Philadel-
phia exhibition and told what he
had seen, the English dealers in
Russia became alarmed and began a
newspaper campaign against Ameri-
can implements. They especially
attacked our ploughs, aud said that
English ploughs | would be used
throughout the whole continent of
America were it not for our tariff.
Mr.. KOlyszko challenged them to
trial, and the day and place were ap-
pointed. The English went to the
spot a day ahead of time and plough
ed a piece of soft ground. Mr.. Ko-
lyszkO arrived next day with Ameri-
can ploughs and experts. He found
that what was left to him was land
of the worst nature, covered with
shrubs and very uneven. knowing
what American ploughs are, howev-
er, he went to work and showed
the English and Russians what they
had not seen before. With these he
cut the earth and matted roots with
the greatest ease, very much to the
surprise of all spectators, who decid-
ed the victory for the American
ploughs complete.

Back of the lost Aztec cities there
are in this region of the country not
merely traces, but very well preserv-
ed ruins of the dwellings, of people
who lived so long ago that not his
tory or tradition, or even legend, has
kept even so much as the shadow of
their memory. They were and are
not, is all we know. Prof. Tuckner
of Hayden's q. S. Survey, has made
quite study of their remains, and
has given some interesting details
concerning their discovery. At first
the existence of these cave dwellings
were unknown to the party, but one
of them, sharper-eyed than the 9TH

Growing Old.

It's the solemn thought connected
with middle life that life's last bust
ness is begun in earnest; and it is
then, midway between the cradle and
the grave, that man begins to mar
vel that he let the days of youth go
by so half-enjoyed. 1t is the pen
sive autumn feeling; it is the sensa-
tion of half sadness that we expert
ence when the longest day of the
year is past, and every day that fol-
lows is shorter, and the light fainter,
and the feebler shadows tell that ma
ture is fastening with gigantic foot
steps to her winter grave. So does
man look back upon his youth; when
the first gray hairs become visible,
when the unwelcome truth fastens
itself upon the mind that a man is
no longer going up hill, but down,
and that the sun is always wester-
ing, he looks back on things behind.
When we were children, we thought
as children. But now there lies be-
fore us manhood, with its earnest
work, and then the grave, and then
home. There is a second youth for
man, better and holier than his first,
if he will look on, and never look
back. +. w. Robertson

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
Summer months, the lethargy produced by the
heat takes away the desire for wholesome food,
and 'requent perspirations reduce bodily energy,
particularly those suffering from debilitatng dis
eases. In order to keep natural heslthful ac-
tivitY of the system we must resort to artificial
means; fOr this purpose Schenck's Weed Ton
ic is very effectual. few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to The enervated
body. For dyspepsia it is invaluable. Many EN-.
inent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can ever be permanently cured by the drugs which
are generally employed for that purpose The Sea
weed Tonic in its nature is totally different from
such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or
acids; in fact it assists the regular operations of
nature, and supplies her deficiencies. The Tonic
in its nature so much resembles the gastric Juice
that it is almost identical with that fluid. The
gastric juice is the natural solvent which in
healthy condition of the body, causes the food to
be digested and when this juice is not excIeted
in sufficient quantities indigestion. with sll its
distressing symptoms follows. The Sea Weed
Tonic perfoms the duty of the gastric juice when
the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is sold everywhere by all Druggists.
