Bugs on the Travel.

A curious sight in the counties of Pas
sale and Bergen, in New Jersey, is the
migration of the potato bug. Meadows,
wagon roads, and railroads swarm with
these pests, all moving westward In
some places they are so thick upon the
rails of the railroad as to impede travel on
an up grade. Where obstacles are met
they turn out of their way. Great num-
bers are destroyed by the feet of travellers
and the wheels of moving trains, but the
gaps thus made are soon filled. On the
coming Of winter they Immediately GO
into the ground.

What a Woman Did.

A brave woman, disguised beyond rec
ognition, followed her husband for a week
to recover her child. Finally she discover
ed that the little one had been left at con
vent in Atchison. She drove at once to
the retreat. Not knowing who she was or
what she came for, the sisters allowed her
to enter. She stated that she wanted to see
the little girl. She was restless and uneasy,
refusing to take a seat and walking the
floor continually until the child appeared.
Disguised as the woman was the child rec
ognized her at once and ran to her out
stretched arms, crying "Oh, my man.
ma" The woman hugged the child to
her breast with one arm and with the
other tried to open the door. Failing in
this, she called to the driver outside to
kick the door in. a scene of excitement
ensued for few moments there was des-
perate struggle between the sisters and the
determined woman, the sisters endeavoring
to retain their charge, and the mother
struggling to rescue it. The driver with
out, finally succeeded in forcing the door
open, and the woman, with her child in
her arms was set free. She placed the
child in the carriage, entered herself, drew
pistol, and pointing it at the terrified
sisters, said "Come and take my child"
and the hackman drove off.

The steamship England of the National
line, one of the largest ocean steamers
entering New York, lost her commander
overheard In very mysterious way on
the night of Sept 10, when she was near
ing the Banks of Newfoundland. Capt.
VIM. II. Thompson, the commander, It APP
pears, had not been very well since the
steamer left Liverpool, but had been able
to attend to his duties. On the night Of
Sept. 10 he was seen to pass the wheelhouse
and walk att That was the last that any
body saw him.
Capt Thompson's servant boy about
Is years of age was the first to discover
that he was missing. The ship was then
searched from stem to stern, but no traces
of the Captain could be found. After
about an hour and half Of fruitless search
it was concluded that the Captain must
have fallen overheard AT that time it was
of course useless to put about and make an
attempt at rescue, and SO the ship kept on
her course. First Officer Ellis took COM
mand of her and brought her into port.
The fact that the Captain had been lost
overheard was kept as quiet as possible,
but it gradually came to the knowledge of
all on board. The weather at the time
was fair, aud there was but litsle sea.

Mixed Theology.

A good story comes from our neighbor-
ing city of Newark, 0. The German Luth-
eran congregation being short of minister,
an occasional brother would supply the
pulpit. So it came the turn of a promi-
nent ex councilman of the Second ward,
whose characteristics as a speaker are
more forcible than refined. After entering
the pulpit ho rummaged his pockets and
not finding the sermon he had prepared for
the occasion, unconsciously broke out in
good "square Dutch - "Vat in ter teyil
did do nit dot sermon?"

Signs Of the Millennium.

The Interior, of Chicago, speaking
of spiritual Songs for the Sunday
School," of which Scribner d Co.
have printed 100000 copies, says:
lit may be expected that among
the signs to herald the dawn Of the
millennium, will be the publication
of hymn.book tor Sunday-schools
in which there shall be no doggerel
hymns-mere empty rhymes-and
no Jig tunes. Until then, there will
be more or less OF a popular demand
Tor these articles, which hymn-book
makers and publishers cannot well
disregard altogether. This latest
work OF DR.. Robinson (who, as a
hymn-book maker, is without peer)
is the most exceptionable, in this par
ticular, OF any book we remember TO
have seen. OF the 273 hymns in the
book, many are old and among the
most precious in the whole range OF
hymnology; while Of the new hymns,
some are beautiful, and almost all
are good. The music, too, is gener-
ally of merit. Indeed, taken as a
whole, we know of no other book so
excellent tor the Sunday school SER
vice OF song as this, nor so admirably
fitted for cultivating what is greatly
needed in all our Sunday-schools,- "a
love for really good hymns and good
music. We note, as special features
10 commend, eight missionary hymns
two of them home missionary-an and
ten hymns appropriate to teachers
meetings. A serious defect OF the
book, which ought not to be repeated
in subsequent editions, is the omls>
sion OF the names of the authors OF
the hymns and tunes on the pages
where they are touud, and the prin-
ting of them only in the index. Let
the children, at the same time they
learn the hymns, learn also the names
OF their authors. This they will be
certain not to do, where they have
to turn TO the index to find them.
In fneness of paper, clearness OF type
and beauty OF binding, the work is
equaled by nothing in its line. 1t is
a model"

Odd Dinner Customs IN Sweden.

The Swedes have a queer way of lo-
comotion at their meals. They often
fit about like flies, from one table to
another, and sometimes seem to turn
the menu topsy-turvy when they order
repast 1t is no rare thing to see
them begin with cheese and biscuit,
next proceed to ham and salad, with q
slice Of meat to follow, and then sud
denly start up in the middle Of their
dinner to swallow, while they walk
about, a plateful Of pea soup A habit
which they have of beginning each re-
past with what they call i" smorgOs,"
not merely leads TO much untidiness at
meal.time, but makes them seem con-
tented to live on bits and scraps. The
smorgos consists of little dishes, such
as slices of smoked reindeer, and
caviar, and sardines, with pickles,
cheese, and other whets provocative of
thirst These are fshed out with q
fork Of general utility, and laid on
thumb pieces of rye cake, thiclIly
smeared with butter, which serve by
way Of plate. Then they are bitten
into, regardless of the fragments which
may fall on other dainties (tOr your
true smorgos eater seldom sits to his
repast), and they are finally washed
down with a glass or two Of spirits
which stand handy by their side. Such
a prelude to meal is not merely un-
cleanly, but must vitiate the palate, and
iniure the digestion. Indeed, / feel
convinced that were the smorgosbOrd
abolished, not merely would the cook
cry in Sweden soon improve, but very
many of the people would be gradually
weaned from their weakness for strong
drink.-AU the Year Round.
