Killed by n Pun.

A traveller from India relates to This and
That the worst pun ever known inf that
country since the arrival of the English. 1t
was commencement day at one of the
schools, and the girls were out on the play
ground amusing themselves before they
should be called Presently n hungry lion
that had wandered away from the junglcs
bounced in among them, carrying off the
lovcliest and plumpest of them all, with
her composition in her pocket-a pretty
schoolgirl essay on kindness to animals.
AS soon as the horrible occurrence be-
came known the principal sailed
out Mt the head of determined
company of armed men. They soon came
upon the lion. No girl was visible, but the
king Of beasts was licking his chops and
wore II look of contentmcnt not to be mis-
taken. The principal advancing, cried out
"Atrocious maraudcr, where is my sweet.
girl grad. you atc?' The effect was
startling. The lion trembled, sanl;
in his tracks, and in few minutes
had brcathed his last. The princi
pal claimed the hide, alleging that he alone
had killed the monster, but some of the
company were mean enough to send to tn,
newspapers report that the pun had moth
ing to do with the death Of the lion, ant
that the brute had persisted in consequence
of the sweet girl and her composition hav
ing disagreed with him.

vANpERRILT,s DOUBLE TEAM.
II Covers Mile in 2:2l94 Making the
Hest TimP on RecOral.

w. II. Vanderbilt yesterday drove his
double team, Small Hopes and Lysander, to
his top wagon mile in 2:2i2 on the Fleet
wood track. He had made wager of $50
with William H. Harbcck that he could
drive the team this week in 2:25 or better,
and yesterday was selected as the day to
make the trial. Mr.. Foster Dewey was re-
quested by Mr.. Vanderbilt to select the
timers and he chose George Ferguson, Sol
Saylcs and Joseph Agostina to act with him
self in taking the time. The track was in
excellent condition, and quito u number OF
gentlemen were present TO witness the trial
Mr. Vanderbilt's team was in first-class con-
dition, and showed to excellent advantage as
he drove them around the track preliminary
to the start. After making one circuit the
team was started on the mile which was to
decide the wager. They trotted off at al
unusually rapid pace, covering the first
quarter-mile in 0:35. The second quarter
was made in 036, giving Ill for the half
mile. The third quarter was trottcd in
0:36l and the fourth and last in 37l, max.
ing the time of the last half-mile 1:13Y, and
of the full mile 2;2i2 This is the best tim,
on record for double team, and Mr.. Van
derbilt won his wager and put his team OF
the record as the fastest which has up /,
this time trotted against time. He wa.
warmly congratulated by his friends as h,
stepped from the wagon.-[N. Y. Times

About Grapevine Flea

At the last meeting ofthe Maryland Acad-
envy of Sciences Mr.. O. Lugger read paper
upon the "Lifc-history of the Noxious
Grapevine Flea-beetle (graptodera chalybea
illg.V that is now doing great mischief TO
the cultivated grapevine in different parts
of the State. He said that although the
brightly colorcd beetles, varying in colors
from steel-bluc to green, and even purple,
were so well known to every grape grower,
yet comparatively few ever connected them
with the disgusting little shiny brown
larvae, which generally prove still more in
furious than the beetles themselves by rid
ding the leaves in the carly part of sum
mer. This Larvae, when fully grown,
measures about OBS inch. 1t has black,
polished head, livid brown sub-cylindrical
body, which is paler beneath, bullying seq
ments, anda row of six shiny black cle-
waited spots on each joint, each of which
gives rise to II single short stiff hair. The
beetle, which Is found in all parts of the
Union and Canada, feeds habitually upon
the alder, as well as upon the wild and cul-
tivated grapevincs. 1t hibernates in tor
pid state under any shelter, and is aroused
to activity quite carly in the spring, when
it does the greatest damage by boring into
and sc0oping out the unopened bud, thus
blighting the grape-grower's hope for an
abundant crop. AS the leaves expand, the
little, jumping rascals feed upon them, soon
pair, and deposit their small orange eggs in
clusters like the beloved Colorado potato
beetle. These eggs hatch into the darlx-col-
Ored larvae that are found so numerous at
this season of the year. When full grown
they descend from the vine and bury them
selves in the earth, where, after forming u
little earthen cell, they change to pup@ of
deep yellow color, and in about three weeks
more issue as beetles. There is luckily but
one brood annually. Like all other flea
beetles, they jump about very energetically,
and are consequently very difficult to man
age during the summer months, but can be
destroyed in great numbers while hidden in
a torpid state in their retreats. Clean cul-
ture and general cleanliness in vineyard
will, to great extent, prevent this insects
undue increase. The larvae can be more
easily destroyed by an application of dry
lime, used with bellows or a common sand
blower. This has been found more effcctual
than either I've or soapsuds, and is the safest,
as lye, if used too strong, will injurc the
| leaves

EUT0T Evening CTTIc:
A number of articles have appeared in
the city press lately of II desparaging char
acter in regard to the Chief of the Bureau
of Statistics. To those who know anything
of the matter, the authorship and animus
of the articles are well known, but 1t has
been insinuated that parties, at present con-
nected with the Bureau, have assisted in
the ISLANDERS, and it is for this reason that
we ask you to publish this as denial to
that assumption. The clerks in the bureau
recognize the efficiency of its chief, and do
not side with disgruntled, disappointed
and transferred clerk. If that clerk desires to
disseminate such slanderous assertions, let
him do so without trying to implicate other
clerks in his falsehoods. Please give this Il
