The Hessian Fly.


j DR., A. S. Packard, of the en-.
tomological commission at w ash.
lington, treats in his recently
published report Oh 'The Hes.
sian Fly" of the ravages, habits,
enemies and means Of prevent
ling the increase Of this insect.
The preventative measures have
been summarized as follows:
First-It is advised to SOW a
Il part of the wheat early,and if
affected by the fly, to put in the
rest of the seed after September
20, which will in most cases save
the crop. BY destroying the
first brood the second will not
appear.
Second-Partially affected
wheat may be saved by the use
of fertilizers and careful cultiva-
tion, and if winter wheat, the
field may be recuperated in the
spring.
Third-It is stated that many
of the eggs and larv@ may be
destroyed by pasturing with
sheep, and close cropping of
winter wheat in November or
early December. Rolling the
ground will answer nearly as
well.
Fourth-It is advised 10. SOW
hardy varieties Of wheat, espec-
tally those which grow vigor-
ously. Diehl for early August
sowing, and CIawson for late.
Filth-Lime, SCOT and salt
are named as special remedies,
and it is also recommended TO
rake oil the stuoDle, but too
close cutting and burning Of the
stubbIe may result in harm by
destroying the useful parasites,
of which there are several spe-
cies. Indeed, it is claimed that
of all the flies hatch
ed are destroyed by these mi
mute parasites.
There are two broods of the
fly. The first deposits its eggs
from early in April till the end
of May, and the second appears
in August and September. The
eggs are laid on the leaves of
the wheat, and the young mag
gots, which hatch i'll about four
days, soon find their way to tke
base of the leaf, remaining be-
tween it and the stem near the
roots.

A Refusal at the Altar.

There was an astonishing ter
mination of a wedding ceremony
at San Francisco a few days ago.
The cards of invitation had been
duly issued and on the appointed
day a large number of guests
had assembled in the church.
The bride and groom elect took
their places at the altar, and the
ceremony had proceeded as far
as putting the decisive question
to the bride. When She was
asked, "Wilt thou have this man
to be thy welded husband" etc.,
to the surprise Of every one pres
ent the beautiful bride stamped
her foot, raised her head erect
and, with flashing eyes, exclaim-
ed:
"No, / will not. / hate him.
He has betrayed and ruined one
young lady already and ! refuse
to become the wife of such a
wretch"
The utmost confusion follow
ed. The clergyman stared a
ghast, and the visitors were
dumbfounded. The girls friends
tried to expostulate with her,
but in vain. She refused to lis
ten, and the gentleman and his
friends left the church amid the
greatest confusion.
The bride and her party soon
followed, and the occurrence has
naturally become the towns talk.

Singular Restoration Of Speech
I Belvidere (N. J.) Enterprise.l

lbeividere lN. ~ Enterprise.
Sometime since a man named
James Paul, resident of Ok
ford Furnace, Nj, while work
ing in the field suddenly became
aware of the fact that his power
of speech was gone. lie re-
manned in this condition for a
considerable period. The atten-
ton of leading physicians was
called to his case, but they were
unable to render any assistance
that tended to restore his isspeech.
He had almost given up all hope
of ever being able to express
himself again orally, and his
friends, too, thought that he was
doomed to go through che world
speechless. But a brighter day
was destined to dawn on our
friend. A few nights ago he
had a peculiar dream. 1t APP
peared to him that he could
talk, and was holding a CONVEX
sation with his wife: telling her
of his restoration of speech, and
his joy growing out of it. So
rejoiced was he that he sawoke,
and strange to say, his dream
was literally fulfilled. lie could
talk as fluently as ever, and has
retained the power of speech.

Seven Cures for Neuralgia.

Among the hints for relieving
neuralgia, we find the following
afioat in the newspapers:
/. Crate and mix horse-radish
in vinegar, the same as for table
purposes, and apply to the tenn
pie when the face or head is af-
fectcd, or to the wrist when the
pain is in the arm or shoulder.
2. A lady who has been troubled
with neuralgia in her head uses
a bag of hot oats at night as a
pillow. She says: "Ieat the
oats in O kettle over the fire or
in a pan in your oven. / have
never been troubled with neu-
ralgia in any place but my head,
so | cannot say how beneficial it
would be for neuralgia IN other
parts of the body. Another
cure is drinking hot lemonade"
3. Apply equal parts of cam
phor, chloroform, aconite and al
cohol for neuralgia. 1t will re-
lieve, and won't take off the
skin either. 4. One of the sim
plest remedies for neuralgia is
essence of peppermint. Battle
the part affected, keeping the
hand over it. 1t will burn and
draw, but not blister. 5. Let
Canada thistle be gathered fer
The purpose when in blossom,
Tried as other herbs. Turn boil
ng water OH a quantity of the
let them steep FIVE or
en minutes, turn out and sweet
IN to taste. Before drinking it
tx for a sweat in a warm room,
hen drink off the tea while it is
lot in large quantities. Follow
aking the tea for a few days
md you will effect a cure; don't
brink it hot after the sweat, but
,ither warm or cold. 6. Sal
lmmonia, half drachm, dissolve
II water one ounce. Dose, one
tablespoonful internally every
hree minutes. Z. Extract of
:elsemin (yellow jessamin) five
o ten drops, in about a table
poonful Of water; three doses
aiken at intervals of an hour a.
'art, not sooner, have relieved
cry severe attacks.

For Husbands Only.

A correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sun, writing from Califor-
MA, says" "A cure for wife whip
ping was authorized by the last
Legislature of Nevada. The au-
thorities of Austin, a mining
town in that State, have erected
a whipping post to punish sum-
marily wretches who abnse their
wives by blows. We wish it
were practical to apply appro-
pirate correction to the no less
unmanly tyranny of unfeeling
exaction and cruel words by
which too many husbands keep
their poor wives in neyer-ending
torment. If man had the brains
he boasts he would speak ever
kindly to the mother of his house
hold, if it were only for selfish
motives. Make your wife hap
py. by tender and affectionate
treatment, and you will make
your home a paradise more prec-
ious than gold and costly man
sions. We admire the HindoO
parable (and we believe its in
scription) that descr pes a wo-
man at the gates of heaven pray
ing that her naughty husband
might be admitted. "He was
ever kind and true to me, and if
you would make me happy l
must share with my husband" !"
Instantly the portals opened and
the angel bid them enter: "Be-
cause of thy wife's prayer thy
sins are forgiven. Who live i'll
harmony on earth, in heaven are
not divided"

He Betrayed His Ignorance.

Into one of the dry-gOods
stores entered a gentleman the
other day, and with the air of
one who had been used to this
sort of thing all his life, you
know, he said to the astonished
salesman: "Give me a yard OF
maroon-colored flannel to match
a baby, please" Correcting
himself hastily, he began again
81 beg pardon; / mean a yard
of flannel to match a maroon
colored baby-here (producing
a bit of flannel from his vest
pocketl. ] want a yard OF that. "

tne Remarkable Adventures of a
Eosed Mississippi Fiddler.


Eosed Mississippi Fiddler.
In 1863 General Pemberton
commanded at this point, Wash
: ington, Miss. Col. Hemingway
owned faithful slave-Pevton
by name--a noted negro fiddler.
known for miles around and
highly respected by both black
and white. When his young
master, w. Lynn Hemingway,
at present State Treasurer of
Mississippi, Joined the old Scar
, roll Rifles" he took Peyton a.
long as trusted servant. He
went with him into Virginia and
returned home in 1868. In Feb
ruary or March of that year a
faithful spy was needed to visit
the Federal gunboats then COM
ing down the river on Fort Penn
berton. Peyton at once under
took the mission, and represent
ing himself as a fugitive slave to
the commanders of the boats,
was we'll received. Being bright
far beyond ordinary he managed
to secrete their official papers,
maps, ETC., and escaped with
these documents to Fort Penn
berton. After the fall of Vicks-
burg, in July following, Peyton
went with his young master a.
gain to Virginia, where he re-
manned until the surrender of
General Lee. The former, be-
ing compelled to remain a num-
Der of days thereafter, in order
to comply with the formalities
of the surrender, sent Peyton
ahead of him to his home,
near Carrollton, Miss. On his
way, however, he was betrayed
to the enemy by some Confeder-
ate as the spy who had deceived
them above Fort Pemberton, was
and carried in irons to
New York, thence to Cuba, and
sold as a slave, together with
many others. The vessel on
which he was taken was a Fed
eral gunboat. In Cuba he work.
ed as a slave in factories for
nearly fifteen years, being en-
tirely cut off from all communi-
cation with home and friends.
He made seven attempts to es-
cape from bondage, all but the
last, of course, being unsuccess-
full. Finally he found an Amer
can vessel, commanded by II
Southerner, to whom he related
the history of his capture, en-
,lavement and forced exile, and
begged to be returned to his
nome and family. The captain
'ecreted him in the hold of his
7essel, carried him to Costa
Rica, thence to New York.
Peyton then worked his way to
Virginia, where a number of Ia
lies raised the means to return
lim to his home after an absence
If seventeen years. He reached
Winona, Mississippi, on the 18th
If April, 1880. Peyton says
hat numbers Of mulatto women
ire being constantly sold in Gu
"a as slaves. Northern men
marry them, take them to Cuba
IN a "bridal tour" and there sell
hem as cooks and fancy house
He saw one sold last
all by the man who married her
or $500; and further, that as he
anne through Cincinnati on his
Tay home he saw the man, and
ecOgnized him, who sold her in
Cuba. The facts above given
re from one of the most reliable
nd responsible gentlemen in
Mississippi, written to a distin-
'ulshed member of Congress of
hat State.
