Mr.. Henry Cheneworth reported at
the State Horticultural Society of
Kentucky, that he has found linseed
oil good remedy for pear blight, and
gives the following experience:
| determined at once to give it
trial, and selected for the purpose a
Bartlett pear tree, which ] had par
ticularly priced on account of its
growth and beautiful form, but which
had recently blghted 50 badly as to
constitute an unsightly object to look
upon. After removing three large
branches, forming two-thirds of the
tree, and scraping off from what was
left of the tree all loose bark with a

with paint brush to the trunk and
limbs remaining thereon, as high as
| could reach. The result was all ]
could desire-new shoots put forth
below the point of amputatiOn, and
the tree has grown with health a d
vigOr ever since, now some seven or
eight years, and shown but little in
clination to blight.

about ten years upon my pear trees,
but have neglected to apply it until
admonished by the appearance Of
blight of the necessity of doing so.
have not lost pear tree in the mean
time, except, number of Louise
Bonnie De Jerseys, to which attached
no value, and therefore did not apply
the oil to them. As to the power of
the oil to prevent blight altogether, if
applied in time, can only state the
fact that | have a number of Bartlett
and Flemish Beauty trees, about eight
years old, to which | have applied
the oil each year since they were
planted, and. they have not as yet
shown any blight.

1t appears that Mr.. Kitten, says the
San Francisco Post, was invited to a
party at the house of one of our local
Plutocrats, large importing mer-
chant, and attended the same with his
wife, as would any other expected
guest. To his surprise, however, he
found the company sitting solemnly
round as if at concert hall, and him
self at once pressed to "play some
thingu by his host. The courteous
Frenchman complied, and in response
to repeated requests, continued to en-
hours, when at last he was thoroughly
fatigued, supper was announced, and
the host rose and said. You've got

old fellow. Now if you'll play these
young folks few quadrilles and polkas

said: a" Pray, let some whisky, lemons

fixing his eyes on the host, "mix us

an awful silence, and then the shoddy-

off the joke, prepared the drink and

Several Southern cities, notably
New Orleans, are discussing projects
for establishing bagging factories. The
Wilmington Star, which has for years
been urging upon the people Of North
Carolina the policy of diversifying
their industries, published an article
recently in which it treated the sub
iect with remarkable candor. 1t is
said:
"There are two jute factories now
at work in the South, one at Charles
ton and one at Columbus, Georgia.
These factories are compelled to pur--
chase at present the raw material
in New York, and in spite of the eX-
penSe incurred, the factories make
good returns in the way of profits,
These factories are managed by per-
sons skilled in the business. If they
could import the jute direct, or raise
in the States in which they are located,
and then would get experienced man
ayers, the profits would be much
larger and the business consequently
much more satisfactory. "-EX.

1t is asserted that DIR. Affenberg has
cured a woman who had been severely
bitten by mad dog, and who showed
unmistakable symptoms of hydrophoo-
bia. He injected curare, (woorall pol

three grains within five hours. The
curare counteracted the effect of the
poison producing the hydrophobic

death by paralysis of the heartand res

however, Kept up vital action until
the crisis was over.

PeICin Ducks.

No variety of poultry that has ever
been brought to public notice, has
attracted 50 much attention for their
many coed qualities, and in so short
a space of time, as this variety OF
ducks. Many writers have eXtolled
them in lOng-winded articles, but
their good qualities are so self-evident,
that they are very readily summed up
in a few words. They are great
layers; laying as many eggs AS a
good hen in the course of a year.
Their yield of feathers is nearly as
great as from an ordinary goose.
Their quality as a table fowl is equal
to anything served up in the way Of
domestic duck. And the farmers and
fanciers of this country are largely
indebted to the importer for this
acqusition.-Cor. Country Gentleman.
We are introducing this variety Of
duck here and they are hard to beat
in this line.

The result of Mr.. Balbirnie's inves-
tigations is this: The maiden name
of General Jackson's mother was
Vance. She married the generals
father, Andrew, at MahaIatelt, IN
Antrim country, Ireland, in l765, ana
afterward they emigrated to America,
where, two years later (1767), Their son,
Andrew Jackson, Miss Vance's lineage
is traced by Mr.. Balbirnie to Rev.
John Vance Tor Vans) vicar of kilma-
BRENNAN, Donegal county, Ireland,
whittier he had had fled from Scotland
on account of religious persecution IN
in the early part of the seventeenth
century. This clergyman was son
of John Vans, of Barnbarroch, Wig
tonshire, Scotland, who was lineally
descended from Harold, Lord VauX,
of Normandy, through Hubert, one OF
three brothers, sons of Lord VauX, all
three of whom accompanied William
the Conqueror to England at the Con-
quest in 1866. These three brothers
were ennobled and became the heads
of three great families, two in England
and one in Scotland ole of the former
terminating in the celebrated Lord
Broupham, of VauX. Huberts son,
Randolph, carried the name to Scot
land, where he and his descendants
acquired large estates, and filled for
many generations the most exalted
stations in church and state, his blood
filtering even through the royal line
before reaching the veins of Sir John
Vaux. The original name was VauX,
Vaus, or de VauX, (Latin, de Nalli-
bus), changed in Scotland to Vans,
and in Ireland to Vance-the two last
being pronounced aIille-Vantz. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Balbirnie, Andrew
Jackson's great grandfather's great
grandmother great and grand is the
English language y was Margaret
Kennedy, daughter of John, LORD
Kennedy, one Of the regents of Scot
land. This Lord John Kennedy was
the grandson of the Princess Mary,
daughter of king Robert III, who was
himself great grandson of Robert the
Bruce, and consequently was of the
blood royal. So that if Rev. John
Vance was the ancestor Of jack
son, as Mr.. Balbirnie. asserts, then
Jackson was of the blood of the Eng
lish royal line of Stuart.

A SHAMEFUL PRACTICE.

A humber or the boys Of this city
make practice Of occasionally as
sailing the weak and foolish old men
OF the class to be found in ali COM
,munities; especially when one of
them, as is frequently the case, is
overcome with liquor. This at the
time appears TO lle fun for the boys,
but II IS torture to the helpless VIC
tim of their taunts and missiles, aud
the fact that he is either drunk or
half.witted only adds to The coward.
ly nature. of the attack. !. IT one of
the sufferers should sometimes be-
come exasperated by the torments
which are inflicted upon him and re-
sort to the use of fire arms, he would
doubtless be punished, but the aver
age jury, would, upon having the
Eeovocation explained, be inclined to
mercy.
Last week an old helpless colored
man passed through town, and after
having been forced to submit to
some cruelty and great many in,
dignilies by grown men who should
should have known better, and who,
Il is only fair to suppose, would not
have done so had they been sober,
was afterwards beset by crowd OF
boys who followed him out of the
city, and only retired after he had
lain dow.l exhausted and cried for
mercy.
The fact that the old man was
drunk does. not make the conduct of
His prosecutors any less reprehensi-

now through fear of doing injustice,
owingto sbs difficulty in, getting any

4, A MILD CAMPAIGN.

The TINES, in q Iafe issue, con
.gratuiatcd It's readers on The prospect
of q campaign which. would not be
conducted in the spirit Of Siolent per-
sonal abuse, which has marked the
Presidential campaigns of previous
years. The Gold Hill News objects
as follows:
The campaign in Lyon County
may partake of pastoral, church pic
mic character, but hardly So else
where, The Democratic papers have
thus far only made Garfield gu, to To-"
the most consummate scoundrel that
ever went unhung. but TINT is only ii
commencement. The Republican pa
psrs merel v make preliminary men
ton that Hancock ism military matt
met; cewardly woman butcher; an
aristocratic brute in epauettes a
sbrainless powder monkey; a biubber-
chopped hog, etc. As they get
warmed up to their work they Will
drop these mild expressions for
stronger and more expressive terms.
Long before the campaign is ended
both candidates will become firm be-
levers in their own total depravity,
and neither of them will think life
worth living any longer.
AS the assertion of the TIMES was
only general, and did not include,
without exception, all the rabld po-
litical sheets of either side, we don't
teel very much sat down upon, but
are sorry the News is willing to ad-
NIT that the, Democratic papers have
made Garfield out to be the wicked
man hereinbefore set forth. The
general impression is that few hot
, headed Democratic journals having
no reasonable political arguments to
advance, attempted to make him out
j, to be corrupt but failed, their princi-
pal charges having been disproved by
j, Democratic evidence. The defense
of Hancock's character will be left
to Democratic journals. However.
Notwithstanding the seeming RANGER
of the News, and the real rancor of
number of journals on the other
side, it is our impression that this
campaign will, as it should be, be
conducted with less of personal ami.
mostly and abuse than any proceed
