Worse thar the Colorado Beetle.

Pail Mall Gazette
A specially undesirable class of i'm
migrants has recently settled in Brit
ish South Africa. An insect called
the Australian bug is said to have
been introduced s me four years ago,
together with a plat which had been
procured for the Botanical gardens at
Cape Town. Tie progeny of the first
arrivals has multiplied exceedingly,
and SO much mischief has been done
by it that very general, and evident.
ly only too well grounded, alarm as to
The results Of its further increase has
been ielt for some time. The Austria
liam bug is apparently more dangerous
neighbor than the Colorado beetle 1t
attacks tree3-usually those of the fin.
er and more useful species. Some
handsome oak trees in the grounds of
government house at Cape Town
said to be one hundred years old-were
reduced to such a state that they had
to be cut down. 1t is particularly hos
tile to fruit trees, and on a single es.
tate is reported to have destroyed no
fewer than 800 orange trees, thereby
causing enormous less to the owner.
As yet no means of stopping the spread
of this formidable pest has been de-
yised; but as it has been noticed that
it does not attack the Australian gum
trees planted in the Cape Colony, it has
been ggested that by a judicious in
of these with the fruit and
other trees liable to its ravages the lat
Ter may be stopped.

Poor Mems Wiyas.

| Tribune and Farmer
Tho trouble is, none of our young
women are willing to become poor
mems wives professedly, even though
they may be so in reality. The girl
who marries upon a thousand dollars a
year looks forward to a life spent in
secOnd.rate boarding houses, from
which she will squeeze out certain
cheap dOmesticity and some expensive
pleasures. The children which heaven
may send are not thought of nor pro-
vided for. 1t is a question whether
the young wife can make herself q
dress or prepare herself wholesome
mealOf victuas. She marries for free
dom, 10 have a good time, spendmoncy
which she neither earns nor helps TO
earn--fOr heaven knows what--but
certainly not to make a comfortableif
humble home for her husband.
Many Of our American girls will be
surprised to learn that the Princess
Louise frequently makes her own pas
try, and makes it well, too. On ore
occasion, some apricot tarts OF her
making being praised hy q guest, the
royal lady wrote ont a recipe, with the
words underlined: "If you desire to
have an apricot tart properly cooked,
always make it with a crustl' The
story has point, and the point is that
no one can never know how TO do a
thing too well. One of the great hin
drances against getting a good wife
arises from the false basis upon which |
society is constructed The idea that |
equality is the peculiar birth-right Of |
all Americans is erroneous. Where |
every person thinks h9 or she 10 rs
good as the next, there is always the |
opposite proof Of incompetency. 4
person is neither better nor worse than
another except in that degree Of worth
which is honestly sought to be attained.
But the disposition Of young women
of the present day, (ond the 3lne ynay
be said largely Of young men, though !
perhaps not to the same eXt2nO is TO /
think they are rs good as every one
else, without taking the trouble to be
50. From this erroneous belief arise
many of the evils from which society
suffers.

Bayard TAYLOR on the Chineee.

Bayard Taylor says of the Chinese,
in his work entitled "India, China and
Japan" published in 1855: at is my
deliberate opinion that the Chinese are
morally the most debased people on
the face Of the earth. Forms of vice.
which in other countries are barely
named, are in China so common that
they excite no comment among the
natives. They constitute the surface
level, and below them are depths and
depths Of depravity so shocking that
their character can not even be limited.
There are some dark shadows in hu-
man nature which we naturally shrink
from penetrating. and made no effort
to collect information Of this kind; but
there was enough in the things which
l could not avoid seeing and hearing
which are brought daily to the notice
of every foreign resident-to inspire
me with powerful aversion to the
Chinese race. Their touch spOllution,
and harsh as the opinion may seem,
justice TO our own race demands that
they should not be allowed to settle on
our soil. Science may have lost some
thing, but mankind has gained, by the
exclusive policy which has governed
China for the past centuries"

The amount of lawlessness along the
advanced line Of the New Mexico and
Arizona railroad, says correspondent
of the Tombstone Nugget, is scarcely
credible and fearful to contemplate.
There is gang Of thugs and thieves
following the advance guard of the
constructionists who scruple at nothing
and regard murder and robbery their
legitimate vocation. A party of these
roughs, while passing the camp of the
O'Donnell Brothers, contractors, the
other evening, fred volley into the
camp without any provocation what
ever. One shot took effect on Mrs
0'Donnell, an aged lady, the mother Of
the brothers, producing a.dangerous
wound.

Anecdotes Of Correggio.

From Mrs. Clements "StorIes of Art and Artists, in
ST. Nicholas for May
There are several anecdotes related
of the great Correggio; one is that,
vixen he first saw ane of Raphael's
great pictures, he gazed upon it long
time, and then exclaimed, enthusias
tically: 81 also am a painterl" and, ]
dare say. he then felt himself moved
to try if he, too, might produce pictures
which should live and bear his name
through future centuries.
When Titan saw COrreggio's fres-
Goes at Parma, he said: "Were ! MOI
Titan should wish to be C0rreggio."
Amibale Caracci, another great artist,
said of Correggio, more than a century
after that masters death: ale was the
only painter" and he declared that
the children painted by Correggio
breathe and smile with such grace that
one who sees them is forced to smile
and be happy with them.
AT Seville, in Spain, there was Il
large picture by Correggio, represent
ing the shepherds Adoring the Infant
Saviour" and during the Peninsular
War l00S-1N, when the people of
Seville sent all their valuable things to
Cadiz for greater safety, this picture
was cut in two, so that it could be
more easily moved. BY some accident
the halves were separated, and after.
word sold to different persons, each be-
ing promised that the corresponding
half should be delivered to him. Great
trouble arose, because both purchasers
determined to keep what they had. and
each claimed that the other part be-
longed to him; and as they were both
obstinate, these half-pictures have re.
mained apart. 1t is very fortunate
that each of them forms fine picture
by itself, and perhaps they thus give
pleasure to a greater number of people
than if they were united.

How to Treat a Cold.

Scottish American.
When you get chilly all over and
away iUto your bones, and begin to
shuttle and almost struggle for your
breath, just begin in time, and your
tibulation need not last very long.
Get some powdered borax, and snuff
the dry powder up your nostrils. Get
your camphor bottle and smell it fire.
quently; pour some on your handker-
chief, and wipe your nose with it when
ever needed. Your nose will not get
sore, and you will wonder what has be-
come of your cold. Begin this treat
ment in the forenoon, and keep on at
intervals until you go to bed, and you
will sleep al well as ever you did.
