HExDERsoxvILLE N. c., June 3d.
This quiet town has been thrown into a
wild state Of excitement BY romantic
affair which has Just come to light. On
March 5, man giving his name as q.
II. Carter Of New York came TO Hen
Jacksonville 10 live, and was soon mar
ried to Miss Josephine Bond, beauti-
full and cultivated young lady Of this
place. He had been living in Hender-
sonville about three months when he
met her. He was man Of culture and
refinement, highly educated, spoke sew
eral languages, and had Travelled all
over the world. He led a rather re-
tired life at first, but his polished man
ncrs soon made him very popular. He
represented himself as master me-
chanic, of New York, and gave as a
reason for his change Of abode that his
health would not stand the severe
northern climate He died a few days
ago. Here comes the strangest part Of
the mans eventful history. Soon after
his death q brilliantly dressed lady made
her appearance in Hendersonvillc, and
claiming that she was his only lawful
wife, had the body exhumed and taken
TO New York. 1t now turns out that
he had wife in New York, and that
the name OF Carter wss fictitious. His
name was William III. Whitelcy, a for
mer millionaire Of Brooklyn, N. Y. He
was fugitive from the State Of New
York, and policy-holdcr In the New
York Life Insurance Company for $780,
COO, and the builder Of st. Peters r. II.
Church. Brooklyn. He belonged to the
elite Of the town, and his wife was one
Of the leaders there in fashionable cir
cles.

Ants When these insects are trouble
some in the garden fiji small bottles
two thirds with water, and then add
sweet-oil within an inch Of the top !;
plunge these into the ground near the
nests or hills 70 within halt an inch Of
the rim, and the insects coming for a
sip will get into the oil and perish, as
il fills the breathing pores. The writer
once entrapped in pantry myriads Of
red ants In shallow tin cover, smeared
with lard, the vessel having accidental
ly been left in their track. Another
means of entrapping them, suggested
to me by Professor Glover, many years
ago, is TO sprinkle sugar into q dam
pened sponge near their haunts to at
tract the insects When they have
swarmed through the sponge it Is
squeezed in hot water, and the trap is
reset until the majority Of the insects
are killed.
Aphis-A remedy for plant lice upon
the terminal shoots of rose bushes Tor
similar hardy plan.s), said TO work like
charm, is as follows; Take four ounce 3
Of quassia chips, and boil for ten min
utes in gallon Of soft water Take
out the chips and add 4 ounces of
soft soap, which should be dissolved in
il as it cools. Stir well before using,
and apply with moderate sized paint
brush, brushing upward. Ten minutes
after syringe the trees with clean water
to wash of the dead insects and the
preparation, which otherwise would dis
figure the rose trees.
Scalc.--A French composition for de-
stroying scale insects, plant lice, etc (,
on fruit and other trees, is as follows !:
Boil gallons Of barley in water, then
remove the grain (Which may be fed 10
the chickens) and add TO the liquid
quicklime until 1t approaches the con-
sisfency of paint. When cold add 2
pounds Of lamp black, mixing it for a
long time, then add pound and half Of
flowers Of sulphur AMI quart of alco-
hol. The mixture is applied with a
paint brush, first using a stiff bristled
brush to remove moss, etc. II not only
destroys the insects but gives the bark

THE WAR ON INSECTS. -Cut-Uoy7ns
Where cut-worms are troublesome
in the field, very old and at the same
time very good remedy is to entrap
them in holes made near the plants, or
hills, II in the cornfield. An old rake
handle, tapcred At the end so as to
make a smooth hole, five or six inches
deep. or more, will answer very well
for this purpose. In the morning the
worms that have taken refuge in these
holes may be crushed by thrusting the
rake handle into them again, and the
strap is set for the next night. II is
always well In planting to make pro-
vision for the loss OF a stalk or two by
cut-worms or other causes, as it is easier
to thin out than to replant.
May-bcefles. These are the perfect
insects Of the white grub, 50 destructive
70 lawns, and sometimes TO meadows.
A French plan for destroying, or rather
catching the cockchafcr, a very similar
insect, Is 70 place in the centre Of the
orchard after sunset an old barrel, the
inside Of which had been previously
tarred. At the bottom Of the barrel Is
placed lighted lamp, and the insects
circling around to get at the light strike
their wings and legs against the tarrcd
sides Of the barrel, and either get fast
or are rendered so helpless that they fall
TO the bottom. Ten gallons Of beetles
have been captured in this way in sin
gle night.
Sings English gardeners place hand
fuls OF bran at intervals Of eight or ten
feet along the border Of garden walks.
The slugs are attracted 10 the bran, and
in the morning each little heap is found
covered with them. The ground is
then gone over again, this time the
operator providing himself with dust
pan and small broom and an empty
bucket, and it Is an easy matter TO
sweep up the little heaps and empty
