"Sure Death to Potato Bugs"

A FEW days ago a Detroiter had occa-
sion to visit small town in the interior
of the State. There was q big crowd
in town, owing to the advent of q cir
Gus, and spectators of various kinds
we're on hand early and numerously.
One of them was shrewd-looking
Yankee, whose stock in trade consisted
of little packages about the size and
general appearance of sticks of sealing
wax. They were neatly wrapped. and
on each wrapper was the legend, "Sure
death to potato bugs" In expatiating
on the efficacy of the, discovery the
vender declared that the legend truth
fully represented its value, but he was
particular to warn al purchasers MOTTO
open the packages and expose the
preparation to the air until the very
moment they we're ready to use it. The
Detroiter. however, thought he would
invest ten cents by way of Investigation.
and he purchased one of the neat little
packages. He carefully unrolled it
and discovered that it consisted of two
bits of wood-0nly this, and nothing
more. The "directions'' were as fol-
lows: 'First catch the bug between
the ends and then press hard" It is
perhaps superfluous to add that the
shrewd Yankee found himself hard
pressed before he was able to get clear

Best Husband In the World.

A CORRESPONDENT of an exchange
writes from Brookville, Penn: A let
ter from lady residing in California
recalls a romantic episode connected
with the writer. The lady, school
teacher in this county, estimable and
we'll educated, who had passed out OF
her twenties, but was of q very ro-
mantle and imaginative disposition,
about two years ago, while on q visit
to Franklin, Pa, formed the acquaint-
ance of lady who had brother, .

brother had written to his sister to
procure him q lady correspondent in
the East. The sister showed this let
ter to Miss s., and after some persua-
sion and warm praise of the absent
brother, obtained her promise that if
he would write to her she would reply.
Soon after her return home she re-
ceived a letter, and this was the be-
ginning of a very animated corre-
spondence. Photographs were ex-
changed. and finally the gentleman
proposed and was accepted by the
lady. But now came the startling
proposition for her to join him in San
Francisco, where they would be mar
ried. To this the lady demurred, but
after good deal of pleading upon his
part, and the plea that his business in
terests would not allow him to come
East for some time, she consented, and
he sent her money to defray the ex-
penses of the journey, and about .
year after the correspondence began

he turned and faced the animal, which
came rushing at him with its head bent
low, intent on goring him. Smith
jumped to one side and again dealt the
beast terrific blow with his club.
The steer, however, succeeded in
wounding him in the left side with his
horn, and in an instant had turned
around for another charge. Smith
called Justify for help, and at the same
time threw away his club and took q
large clasp-knife out of his pocket and
opened it. The wild brute was again
on the man, and caught Smith on his
horns, one of them penetrating his alb
domen. Smith clutched the other horn,
and with his right arm dug his knife
in the brute's right eye. The steer bel.

and again came at his enemy. The

his forehead, but glanced of, inflicting,

ANOTHER very remarkable instance,
we are informed, has just come to
light as to the preserving or petrifying
effects of nitrate of soda. A we'll
known and influential city firm, who
have extensive connections with South
American planters, miners, etc., have
recently received from Peru curiosity
in the shape of what may be termed a
crystalized female body, which, as their
correspondents advise them, was some
short time since discovered by a set of
miners at Pisague, in that country,
completely imbedded in one of the
great nitrate of soda deposits peculiar
to the district. The body is described
as having the appearance of petritied
mummy, and is stated to be in singu-
lar state of preservation. This curios-
ity has already been seen by some of
our best known naturalists and ana
lysts, and it is believed that the woman,
who apparently was of middle age,
must have persisted through accident
or design at remote period of the
past, as some even 60 50 far as to say
1000 or 5000 years ago. That her
death was violent there is little room to
doubt, inasmuch as when discovered
the body was in a recumbent position,
partly on the side, with chest slightly
crushed as if through severe fall, the
legs drawn up, and the fingers and toes
contracted. The hair is in q most per-
feet state, and maintains its contact
with the skull in a peculiarly astonish-
ing manner, and the mouth is open,
displaying the teeth and tongue, which
are plainly visible. The extremities
are remarkably small and perfect, even
the nails being in their respective
places. The hair on the head, we
should add, appears to be plated in a
very peculiar manner, and is of great
length and thickness, though in some
parts detached, owing to part of the
skull having been destroyed. The
curiosity at present is at the Office of
the firm, who have imported it from
South America, but we understand that
arrangements are being made that it
shall be publicly shown at the West
minister Aquarium at an early day

A Desperate Struggle with a Steer

The cattle-pens at Butchertown, a
western suburb of this city, we're the
scene of terrific combat this after
noon. H. Smith, butcher of power
full physique, entered pen to drive a
steer into the slaughter-house. The
steer became enraged and made rush
at him. Smith lodged the animal and
struck him over the head with q club
which he had in his hand. Smith then
tried to escape, and made q rush for

The British Victory in South Africa.

Ulundi seems to have been another
Waterloo on q small scale. Like
Gettysburg it was fought on the Fourth
of July, but unlike the American battle,
second day was not needed to end it.
Lord Chelmsford's dispatches show
that he was fortunate enough to per-
suade the Zulu King to attack him.
Cetewayo. In truth, seems to have been
ut fault in two things: he did not choose
his own ground. and he failed to effect
a surprise. The result, therefore, is
not strange. The British force was
five thousand, and that of the Zulus
twenty thousand men. Such are the
estimates as reported by the English.
Experience suggests that if the British
numbers are rated little higher and
the Zulu numbers little lower than
these, the result will not be far out of
the way.
At six clock on the morning of July
4 the column of Lord Chelmsford
crossed the Umvolosi River. The pas
sage of the stream was not disputed. 1t
appears TO have been CetewayO's belief
that if he could get his foe massed in a
compact body he could overwhelm
him. This, in any case, is what he
proceeded to try to do. By eight o'clock
the British, safe across the river, were
thrown into = hollow square. They
had twelve cannon and two Calling
guns. Four thousand of their troops
were Europeans and the rest were ma
tives. The Zulu army attacked their en-
envy on four sides at once. That they
fought desperately, we may be sure. But
the discipline of the white soldiers, their
splendid arms and the skill with which
they were handled carried the day.
The Zulus, as is said, were four to the
English one; but the Zulus fell as the
battle went on in the ratio Of ten to
one. BY and by their line on one side
wavered and fell back. A column of
lancers, preceded by heavy fire no
doubt. tore after them. The black men
on this broke and ran. Their other
three lines thereupon recoiled also.
The English then took the offensive in
all directions; and the decisive battle
of the campaign, the battle that will
probably make of the doughty Cete-
wayo an English vassal, was lost and
won.
Had the Zulu King fallen on the field
or had he been taken prisoner, the CON-
sequence of this defeat might be termed
a certainty. But Cetewayo took care
to save himself when he saw the day
was beginning to go against him. He
is said to have fled to the north, and,
if still indisposed to make peace, he
may yet give the English much trouble.
Still, he will certainly be made to I'M
derstand that the longer his submits
sion is deferred the worse will be the
terms that can be granted to him, and,
willy and desperate as he is, even
Cetcwayo must see that half q loaf is
better than no bread. The battle oil
Ulundi will push back the Zulu frontier
many a mile if the customary British
policy is to be enforced in South
Africa, and if the Zulu King insists
upon another campaign it is morally
certain to cost him a further indefinite
sacrifice of territory in the future.
The chances, therefore, seem on the
whole to be favorable to q speedy
peace.-N. Y. Evening Post, july "a.

Brides Dresses, Etc.

The richest bridal dresses worn re-
Gently have been made of white satin,
trimmed with lace. Cut in the princess
style, the overdress of lace, or lace ar
ranged as scarfs, forms the entire drap-
cry. The garniture consists of flowers
in masses and trailing fringes. The
prettiest bridal dress Of the season was
OF rich white satin, covered with
myriads of rows of finely-plaited Bre-
ton lace, and garnitured with natural
rosebuds and orange blossoms. No ar
tificial flowers were used. The veil
was attached to a full, close wreath of
the same flowers, but the bouquet was
composed entirely of white rOsebuds.
The effect of Breton lace is particularly
soft and foamy. much more becoming
to youthful brides than heavy point
lace. A very pretty and much more
simple bridal dress is of white barege,
trimmed also with quantities of deli
cately plated Breton lace. The garni-
ture of this dress is white satin ribbon.
No flowers used, except q great bunch
OF natural lilies OF the valley and white
rosebuds at the front of the corsage.
Artificial flowers are not now consid-
cred distingue as garniture for bridal
dresses.
Bridesmaids adopt the English fash
ion of wearing large quaint hats or
bOnnets. At q recent wedding the
bridesmaids wore princess dresses OF
pale pink, q combination of silk and
brocade. and large hats of the Gaines
borough shape, trimmed with Breton
lace and immense crushed roses.
A white India null scarf is novelty
for trimming round hats. It can either
be wound around the neck as q scarf or
used as veil when necessary. Shirred
hats OF ecru batiste, trimmed with Al
gerienore silk, are worn to match cos
tunes. Blue and ecru flannel dresses
are worn by misses at the seaside.
Broad belts are worn with most toilets
and costumes. Basques are made OF
different material from the costume.
Thread mitts in all colors are now i'm
ported, and are less expensive than silk
ones, while they are capable of more
service. The ecru mitts are the most
useful for they can be worn with any
color, and also with black or white.
New scarf ties of India null, folded
double, are gathered at each end with
three or four trimmings almost like a
tassel, the lace at the extreme ends be:
ing gathered closely together. Bows
of lace and crepe muslin, about -four
inches across, are made in the butterfly
shape. The ulster has become an in.
dispensable part of the regular travel
ing outfit. A leather belt and poke,
are also useful and pretty. The bag
holds tickets, change, and handker.
chiefs securely, SO that man is moi
essential as ticket bearer and change
carrier.
The newest walking boots for ladies
are cut on the same principle as a gen.
tleman's shooting boot; the front Of
the boot and the tongue in front are
cut in one, and the laced pieces open
out wide, so that there is no pressure
on the instep, and they are slipped or
and off easily. This renders them yer,
convenient for summer excursionists. -

he had caught him playing horse with

How Pittsburgh Man Blundered in q
Matter Of Bullion.

Two miners sat down in the wilder
ness of Southern Utah few months
since to MUNICH their bread and then
pursue their wanderings and their
search for wealth. They were "pros-
pectors," who, having left the beaten
track of treasure-scekers, wandered
off, to the amusement of their fellows,
into the comparatively level country,
where months of searching had re-
vealed nothing.
1--WE had better get back into the
mountain country, Jim," said his
"pard.'
As he spoke his tool struck some
thing few inches under the sand, and
the prospector found q fracture on the
rocks and picked up small, yellowish
piece of stone.
"What's that?'' said Tom, as he saw
with what feverish earnestness his
"pard" examined the piece.
"Egad! think it's horn silverr'
They were out of provisions and
clothes; they had not means with
which to pay the fee for securing their
"find." After opening up their prize
sufficiently to show that vein of ore
existed they offered it to Mr.. Ben Nor
gan, of Pittsburgh, who is operating
smelling works few miles below Salt
Lake City, for eighteen thousand dol
lars. Mr.. Morgan sought the advice
of the superintendent of the Ontario
Mine. Together they examined the
new -" tind," and unfortunately for the
genial Ben they decided it was not
worth risking the money on. The
miners continued to open their vein,
but soon again were stranded, when
one of Them wrote to two Irish friends
who had already lost money on sup
posed " finds" and besought them to
try their luck once more. After much
importuning they invested enough
money to give the miners good start,
when the development of the mine
proceeded rapidly. Four shafts were
sunk and number of intermediate
galleries run which connected the
shafts. The work was pushed solely
with a view to show the magnitude VI
the deposit. 1t was the marvel of the
whole country. Conservative old en-
gineers measured the ore bodies act
ually in sight, taking nothing for
granted, and made numerous analyse
in all parts of the mine to determine
its richness, and the most cautious
calculated tie silver in sight as worth
twenty.seven million dollars. Jay
Cooke, hearing of this prize, secured
an option of a one-half interest for
two and one-half million dollars for a
short time, and Fastening eastward he
induced a number of EDglishmen in
New York to invest, and they took il
at this price, the four original owners
declining to sell the remaining half at
any price. This is the now famous
Horn Silver Mine," or "New b.
nanza," around which town has in a
few months clustered called Frisco -
and to which one mine the Utah South
ern Railroad will this summer be ex-
tended nearly three hundred miles,
