THE Potato BUG.-The ubiquitous po-
tato bug has made his appearance again
and goes for the young plants as soon as
they emerge from the ground with a vorac-
ity that the horse leech would be proud Of
Our attention was called to this pest by
reading a communication in one of our ex-
changes, which refers to the precautions
taken by the government of Germany to
repel the bugs if they succeed in crossing
the ocean and invading the German en-
pire. The sturdy old burghers of Ger.
many are convinced that Krupp guns and
Uhlan cavalry would be useless in con-
test with this enemy but with true Dutch
pertinacity they propose to fight them with
an army composed of all the men, women
and children in the empire. In order that
the juvenile part Of this host shall be able
to recognize the approaching enemy VIXEN
he arrives, artificial limitations of the bug
are enclosed in glass jars and placed upon
the desks of the school children, who are
required to familarize themselves with its
habits and appearance, and to wage a per-
sistent war of determination against it.
This may seem like wisdom to the law
makers of Germany, but to US it looks
foolish. If the German was as thickly
populated as the Chinese Empire, this sys-
TEN would avail but little. The time was
when a bull from the Pope would have
been solicited to aid in stamping the life
out of this pest. Absurd as this plan may
be thought now, it is little less so than that
now adopted. The smallest conceivable
portion of Paris green or other arsenical
poison judiciously applied never fails to
prove etficacious. 1t is notable fact that
although these bugs are SO fond of the
potato as to have derived their pane from
it, when they are hard pressed for food
they will devour the Sodom apple and the
egg plant which in some way closely
allied to the potato, and are members of
the same natural family.

TEA PLANTS. A lady residing in Elkton
recently received a quantity of tea plants
from the Department of Agriculture, at
Washington, and presented our FRIEND A.
W. Mitchell, with four of them. They
we're nicely packed in moss and looked
thrifty and promising. There appears to
be no reason why tea should not be sue
cessfully cultivated in the United States.
The plant from which it is produced is said
to be hardy and capable of resisting tbs
severity of the temperature when the Their
mometer is at zero. The trouble of pre-
pairing the tea for shipment so that it will
not be injured by transportation upon the
ocean adds much to its cost. For trans
portation by land it might be packed as
herbs used for medical purposes are. We
shall await the result of the experiments
now being made with much interest, and
hope they may be successful.
| THE CHESAPEAKE AND DELAWARE SHIP
CANAL.-An effort is now being made by
the merchants of Baltimore to revive this
enterprise which, in the future, may be of
much advantage to the citizens Of the lower
part of our county. The route of the pro-
posed canal will be from the Sassafras river
to Blackbird creek. The canal will be
about ninety miles long and navigahle by
the larges; vessels. The estimated cost of
construction is Sc, 600, GOO An act has been
passed by the Legislature of the State,
IL -, a., Ia.
the Company it's credit to the amount of
| $500, 900.
A memorial to Congress is now in the
hands of the Committee on Commerce of
the House of Representatives, which is
said to be unanimously favorable to aiding
the work to the extent SO, 100000.
The proposed work will shorten the route
from Baltimore to Europe to the extent of
$50 miles, and avoid the dangers Of the
capes at the mouth of the Chesapeake bay.
The idea of connecting the two bays has
been long entertained by the mercantile
men of Baltimore. 1t is to be regretted
that the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
was not made large enough fcr the passage
of ocean bound steamers.
He LIVED OFF THE FARMERs.-One of
our Elkton physicians recently overlook,
on the road near town, a genteel, we'll
dressed man on foot. The doctor kindly
asked him to ride, which courtesy the
stranger accepting, the following converse
ton occurred:
"You are stranger in this neishbor-
hood -
ooh, yes; l am travelling for the season,
hunting aoork.'
"Ah! Do you ever find any"'
No, sin" emphasizing his reply.
What is your business -
"Pm machinst by trade"
How do you live?"
"Lve off the farmers, of course. They
are able to stand it. They get plenty off
the land, and ought to share it with others"
You are an .Agrarian, then; you favor
an equal distribution of property
Eyes, sir. What right have some men
to hold all and Others nothing"
"You are Communist, too" said the
doctor.
"Certainly. If they refuse to gige, tits
our right TO take"
"Then,' said the doctor, stopping his
horse, take the road again; if you go
much further with me you'll want to di0ide
my team"
The Communistic tramp was unloaded
forthwith"

ton, on Monday evening next.
Two young gentlemen of Elkton paid
a visit to Chesapeake City last Sunday
afternoon, and, thinking their horse was
thirsty, they stopped at hotel to have
him watered; the hostler very foolishly
took the bride Off the animal, which be-
came frightened and started for home at Il
rapid rate, but soon changed his mind and
returned to the village, where the carriage
unfortunately came in contact with an OBJ
struction, which caused the breaking of
the shafts. Don't take the bride off a
horse when he is hitched to a carriage; he
can drink as well with it on, and will be
much less likely to run away.
They lived in the " Barrens,'' near the
Nottingham road, and got into a quarrel
about boy in the custody of Rachel Davis,
which led to her being assaulted by John
Shippers, who violently beat and choked
her, whereupon a lame man, one Knots by
name, came to Elkton and entered com
plant and swore out warrant before
Squire Foard, who placed 1t III the hands
of s. B. Foard, Jr., who arrested the par
ties aforesaid and brought them to Elkton,
where they had hearing before Justice
Foard, who held Shippers under $50 bail
for his appearance to answer at the next
court. Clinton Mccullough for the State,
J. E. Wilson for the prisoner. After which
the row was relieved about certain house
hold furniture claimed by the aforesaid
parties, whereupon Justice Foard, at the
instance of one John Hogan (colored), land
lord, issued distraint warrant for rent due
and in arrears; whereupon the goods were
brought to the "Dashaway Hotel" to be
disposed of according to law. SO endeth
this strange, eventful story, whether the
row will end here the future will determine.
