The Striped Bug.

f. The striped bug has come, the saddest
er, iron-clad at that. He is unpleasant
it two ways. He burrows in the ground
so that you can not find him, land he flies
away so that you can not catch him.
He is rather handsome, as bugs 90, but
utterly dastardly, in that he gnaws the
stem of the plant close to the ground,
and ruins it without any apparent a6-
vantage to himself. / find him on the
hills of cucumbers (perhaps it will be a
cholera year, and we shall not want
any, the squashes (small loss) and the
melons (Which never ripen). The best
way to deal with the striped bug is to
sit down by the hills, and patiently
watch for him. If you are spry, you
can annoy him. This, however, takes
time. 1t takes all day and part of the
night. For he fiyeth in darkness, and
wasteth at MONDAY. If you get up be-
fore the dew is off the plants-it goes off
very early-you can sprinkle SCOT on the
plant (soot is my panacea; if l can get
the disease of plant reduced to the
necessity of the SCOT, | am all right) !;
and SCOT is unpleasant to the bug. But
the best thing to do is to set toad to
catch the bugs. The. toad at once estab-
fishes the most intimate relations with
the bug. 1t is a pleasure to see such
unity among the lower animals. The
difficulty is to make the toad stay, and
watch the hill. If you know your toad
it is all right. If you do not you must
build tight fence round the plants,
which the toad can not jump over.
This, however, introduces new ele-
ment. / find that have a geological
garden on my hands. 1t is an unex-
pected result of my little enterprise,
which never aspired to the complete
ness of the Paris +" Jardin des Plantes. -

Bismarck and His Dog.

Bismarck has always been fond of
dogs. When he was q student and a
country squire he never went out for a
walk without having a couple of honnds
at his heels. At Gottingen, where he
led wild, reckless life, he was summon
ed before the dean for entertaining some
boisterous friends with whom he had
travelled into the Hartz. With charac-
teriatic assurance he put on dressing
gown and riding-boots and startled the
venerable official by rushing into the
room with large bloodhound at his
heels. The interview was short one
and Bismarck and his dog went back to
their quarters. Four young students OF
the corps of Hanover caught sight OF
man and dog and began TO laugh. Bis
marck demonstrated, high words follow
ed, and each of the four challenged him
to a duel. The chancellor's favorite
dog for MANY years was Sultan, Dan
ish mastiff who invariably accompanied
him when he walked or rode at Varzin.

Bailooning i'm England.

A balloon with two men in the car
was waited gaily from Manchester a
fortnight ago, and when in the sky not
far from Huddersfeld was suddenly up
set by series of squalls. The two voy-
ayers managed by grasping the ropes
to avoid immediate death, and one OF
them ultimately succeeded in climbing
to the valve and opening it. The bal
loon then rapidly descended, and when
about forty feet from the ground the
heroes of the adventure either fell OF
dropped to the ground, fortunately es-
Gaping with their lives, but not without
severe injury. The balloon reached the
ground near Leeds, to the surprise and
alarm of those who witnessed its de-
scent, and whose bewilderment was in
creased by the fact that the car contain
ed only dog, two overcoats and pack
of cards.

Remarkable Restoration to Speech Of
a Beautiful Young Lady.

The Louisville Evening NeWs of June
9th says: The particulars of very re-
markable case were related to the NerS
representative this morning by gen.
tleman familiar with the particulars.
Miss Flora Rau is the daughter of Mr..
S. Rau, who resides on First Street, be-
tween Market and Jefferson, and is a
dry goods merchant. She is II years
old, and young lady of rare beauty
and accomplishments. About one year
ago her sister, very beautiful and es-
Unable young lady, aged 1Syears, died,
and since that time Miss Fora has been
in the habit of paying visits, at regular
intervals, to her grave. Mrs. Rau,
mother of Flora, is an invalid, and about
three months ago was suddenly stricken
down by disease, and for time her life
was greatly endangered. Miss Flora is
warmly attached to her, evincing for her
an affectionate tenderness rarely dis
played by a child for a parent, and
when the sudden visitation of illness to
the mother ccsurred she was so greatly
shocked thereat and her nervous system
so affected that she lost her speech, and
from that time until yesterday was una
BILE to articulate even the shortest and
most simple words.
On Tuesday little .three-year old
cousin of Miss Rau died, and the funer-
al took place yesterday. Miss Flora
desired to attend the funeral, but her
mother felt unwilling for her to go on
account of the deep grief she manifested
at the child's deathly bearing, that, in
her nervous condition, her health might
become more seriously impaired. The
young lady was persistent, however, and
was allowed to go.
And now comes the most remarkable
part of this singular case, mixed up as
it is with the dead and sick. AT the
funeral Miss Flora's grief found free ex-
preston in tears, but there were no 9th
er outward manifestations of it. On
her return home, however, she rushed
into the presence of her mother, ex-
claiming, sob, mamma, mamma, |
can speak, uttering the words in a
suffering, hesitating manner. And
now her speech is fully restored, and
she can converse with her friends as
freely as before the remarkable loss OF
her speech following her mothers per-
ilous illness. The Joy of the parents,
family and friends of the young lady,
who is great favorite on account of
her many accomplishments of person
and mind, at her restoration to speech
may be imagined, but not described.
Yet the singular manner in which the
terrible affiiction came, and the restora-
ton which followed, will certainly inter-
est the medical profession as much as it
has astonished her friends and acquaint-
ances.

And only this had either noted,

When breathless in the waltz they fioated.
