manners and habits of English bed
bugs, which are supposed to belong
to the same breed as the American
insect. 1t seems that the bed bug
has eyes, but shuns the light. He
frequents cracks and creyices in the
bedstead, the floor, the ceiling, the
walls, and ensconces himself in the
seams of sheets and pillow-slips,
where he patiently waits from
dewy morn till eve, and when the
lodger retires for the night he sal
lies forth, armed with the weapons
supplied by nature, aud drinks the
blood of his unconscious victim.
An English expert stated that it
was very difficult to eXterminate n
colony Of these insects. Scalding
them only causes them TO increase
and multiply, and crushing them
facilitates the Matching of the eggs.
The only effectual remedy is poison;
by the use of a mixture sold by tho
druggists a settlement of bed-bugs
may be strangled In couple of days;
but they will come again, as they mi
CRATE in families, going from board
ing house to boarding house, and
generally selecting the best. These
and other facts were urged upon
the attention of the court by Mr..
Bishop, who also claimed that his
client had never agreed to take the
room for month, but merely on
trial. Judge Thayer did not admit
the applicability of the English ca
ses cited, but took the matter under
advisement.

A GIANT OF THE REVOLUTION.
Peter Francisco Who Dealt Destruc-

Fact r,on6

Cor. Petersburg (Va.) Appeal.
The allusion in a recent letter OF
your Louisa correspondent to the
old revolutionary giant hero, Peter
Francisco, revlves many traditions
and "reminiscences of the wonderful
performances and daring deeds of
that extraordinary man, My faith
er, recently deceased at the adj
vanced age of ninety, we'll remem-
bered him, having frequently seen
him in his native county of Buok-
ingham, and related many anec-
dotes of his stirring and perilous
adventures and hairbreadth escapes
as he heard the recital fall from the
lips of the giant himself. He de-
scribed him as six feet one inch in
height, his weight 26O pounds, his
complexion dark and swarthy, fea-
lures bold and manly, aud his
hands and feet uncommonly large,
and his thumbs being as large as
an ordinary mans wrist. Such
was his personal strength that he
could easily shoulder a cannon
weighing LOO pounds, and he had
seen him take a man in his right
hand, pass over the floor and dance
his head against the ceiling with as
much ease as if he had been doll
baby. The mans weight was 195
pounds. Partaking of the patriotic
enthusiasm of the times. he enter
ed the American revolutionary army
at the age of sixteen. He was pres
ent at the storming of Stony Point,
and was the first soldier, after Maj
or Gibbon, who entered the fort
ress, on which occasion he received
a bayonet wound in the thigh. He
was at Brandywine, Monmouth and
other battles at the north, and
was transferred to the south under
General Greene, where he was en-
gagged in the action of the Cowpens,
Camden, Guilford Courthouse, etc.
He was so brave and possessed
such confidence in his prowess that
he was positively fearless. He
used a sword with a blade five feet
long, which he could WELD like a
feather, and every swordsman who
came within reach of him paid the
forfeit of his life.

GOD KNoWETH BEST.

Saint and sinner must alike feel
the sweet inspiration of this noble
poem. We do not know the name
of the author, but we recognize him
as the poet of faith whose fervent
and pious soul has consecrated his
muse to the higher purposes of re-
ligion.- ED. CITIZEN,
Sometimes, when all life's lessons have been
learned,
And sun aud stars for evermore have set,
The things which our weak Judgment here
had spurned-
The things DER which we grieved with
lashes wet
Will fash before us, out of lIfe's dark night,
AS stars shine most in deeper tlnts of blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans were
right,
And how what seemed reproof was love
most true.
And we shall see how, while we frown and
sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me;
How, when we called, He needed not our cry, !,
Because his wisdom to the end could see.
And even as prudent parents disailow
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from US now,
Life's sweetest things because 1t seemeth
good.
And if, sometimes, commingled with ife's
wine,
We find the wormwood; and rebel and
shrink,
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for our lips to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father 50,
But wear your sorrow with obedient gracel
And you shall shortly hear that heightened
breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His
friend,
And that sometiraos, tf1e sable pail of death,
Conceais the fairest boon His love can send.
II we could push ajar the gates of life,
And stand within, aud all Gods workings
see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
Ard for each mystery could find key
But not to-day. Then be content, poor
heart
Gods plans, like lilies, pure and white,
unfold.
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And if, through patient toll, we reach the
land
Where tired feet. with sandals loose, may
rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,
think that we will say "God knoweth
best r'

The New York Clipper tells a
good story about a "drive" which
was perpetrated on Connecticut
Western conductor Few days ago.
A man boarded the train at a way
station and paid his fare to a point
q few miles distant. aOn reaching
his destination he concluded to
proceed to a further station, and
finally continued on until he reach
ed Winsted. Each time he paid
his fare in cash to the conductor
instead of buying a ticket at the
station, although by this means the
passage cost him considerable more.
At last the conductor spoke to him
of this, and suggested that it would
be economy for him to buy tiCkct,
and asked him why he didn't.
"Well," said the passenger, "I'll tell
YOU. Some time last summer L got
into a little trouble with this com
pany, and they used me mighty
mean, so l just said to myself:
That Connecticut Western Com
paIy won't never get another cent
of my money, if / lived hundred
years. and they won't, and that's
why pay my fare to the conduct
ors." The conductor dropped the
conversation at that point.

Daring Robbery.

Three robbers, armed to the teeth,
recently broke into a Prusslan's
house in Constantinople. He gave
Hp his watch and $40 in Turkish
money, but they wanted more.
They bound him hand and foot,
and compelled him to tell where
they would find the key of his bus
mess safe. This safe happened to
be on the third floor, at the top
of the house, and thither the three
robbers hastened, leaving the own
er bound, and threatening TO return
and shoot him if he called for as
sistance. But as they went up
stairs, his wife, who had been
watching what was taking place
from another room, slipped quietly
in and cut the bonds of her hus-
band. Arming themselves with re
volvers, the pair crept quietly up
the stairs, came upon the robbers,
and without a word shot down two
of them. The third threw down
his weapons and begged for mercy.
The Prussian bound his late assall
ant fast, and left his wife to watch
over him with a loaded revolver in
her hand, fastened to the nearest
police station. There he found the
officers in charge absent, and on in
curing tor a sub-officer was told
that both of the latter were also
away. Thereupon the Prussian
asked four of the men to accompany
him to his house and take tue
bound burglar into custody Ar
riving in the room where the two
men had been shot, the zaptlehs
looked at the two corpses. and the
prisoner. and recognized in the
former the two suo- officers, and In

SKIN GRATING.
A Successful Result Of an Extraor-
dinary Operation.

The medical fraternity of Daniel
sonville, Conn, ,and, in fact, through
out the whole of Windham county,
are greatly interested in the exper-
iment of skin grating, which has
been going on there for the past
twelve months, and which has final
ly proved a gratifying success. On
the 3Ist of December, 1878, Jesse,
an eleven year old son of Mr.. Ed
win Morgan,an influential citizen of
Canterbury, an adjacent village, fell
into a shallow vat containing So
luton OF potash in boiling water.
He struck on both feet, the liquid
coming nearly up to his hips and
instantly the skin of the legs COM
menced to peel off. With remark
able presence of mind the lad leaped
to the floor, where he lay uncon-
scious for some time. 1t was found
that the flesh on both legs had been
so horribly and thoroughly boiled
that no cells remained for a new
skin to form a growth upon. The
boys life was one of excruciating
agony for months. The scared
members began to turn under the
body and actually ''fexed" or knit
to the back of this thigh. Last
April a young physician, George j.
Ross, of that town, finding that his
older brother had given the case up
as incurable and one which must
speedily result in death, determined
to attempt the salvation of the lads
life by skin grating. He was
"pished and poohed at" to use his
own words, by the old heads Of the
profession without mercy, but the
boys parents Imploring him to un-
dertake the operation he was finally
induced to try it. Over two thou
sand gratis were used, the mother
of the child, q noble hearted Irish
coachman in the family, the lad
himself and many of the neighbors
submitting portions of their cuticle
Tor the operation. A prevailing de-
sire was manifested to have the
child live without becoming s Grip
pie. Hundreds of visitors flocked
to see the patient and lmplored DR..
Ross to try a piece of their skins in
the operation. The pieces OF flesh
we're pulled of with forceps and
were about three times the size of
the head of a pin. The process Of
grating is similar to that employed
in horticulture. One of the limbs
looked as though pi.ted with small
pox. The gratis grow fastest in
the spring months. One of them is
put on a muscle, where it sinks in
and deposits cell, after which the
top sloughs of. Although the work
is not yet complete the legs are
nearly restored to their normal and
natural functions, and the child can
walk a short distance without a
crutch, but is still very weak from
exhaustion end emaciation.

Bed-Bups in Court.

The following is taken from the
local court reports of the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat:
Mr.. Campbell o. Bishop appeared
before Judge Thayer yesterday, and
urged his motion for new trial ia
the case of Peckham VS.. Garvey.
1t will be remembered that the de-
fendant, Dick Garvey, the railroad
ticket agent, was sued by the land
lady of a fashionable hashhouse
for a months board, and pleaded
bed-bugs in bar. The room had
been engaged for a month, but the
lodger decamped the second day,
because he went there to eat, and
not TO be eaten. He testified that
the bed bugs preyed upon him
worse than a guilty conscience, and
he could not sleep. The jury gave
the landlady verdict for half the
amount claimed. Mr.. Bishop ar
gued that the instructions were er-
roneous, and the verdict ought TO be
set aside. He cited a number OF
English authorities in support OF
his motion, and one or two OF them
seemed exactly in point. The law,
as laid down on the other side OF
the water, is that when a man rents
a furnished room the landlord guar
antees that it is habitable and
wholesome. If his slumbers are
disturbed by bed bugs, he has the
right to abandon the premises
without notice, and is not bound 10
pay any rent for the time he has
taTded. A case was cited in which
the witness gave full details of the
