The "Lucky Escape"

On the night OF Oct. IA, 1851, toll,
swarthy young man with q companion
slipped into the George Inn, Brighton
eng. }, and said he would wait to meet
q seafaring acquaintance. In earlier
days the host had been employed in one
of the London palaces, and he recog-
nized in his seedy visitor Prince Charles,
son Of the monarch who, more than two
years before, had been beheaded at
Whitehall. After tho battle of Worces-
ter the young King had experienced
many adventures and worn many dis
guises-there was n price upon his
head; but the innkeeper, either from
loyalty or discretion, did not offer to
molest the fugitive or his companion.
The Captain Of a collier, Nicholas Tet-
tersell, then appeared, and took Charles
and his companion, who was the Earl
of Rochester, on board his vessel and
landed them in France, for which
service many things were promised.
The Restoration came, but none of the
gifts, and Tettersell therefore sailed into
the Thames aud moored of Whitehall,
where his dingy bark attracted the at
tention of the King, who, being thus re-
minded, gave the Captain ring, per-
petual annuity of GlOO q year, and took
the collier into the navy under the name
of the Lucky Escape.

Insects on Garden Vegetables.

In some localities one or more oLthc
cabbage worms is still troublesome
The most common of these are the
c~atorpillars Of medium sized but
TEXTILES, the wings Of which are white,
with . few black spots; there are three
distinct species, but all are similar In
their habits. Wherever these butterflies
are seen fitting about over the cabbage
and canlitlower plants, trouble from
+" worms may soon be expected
Safety consists in attacking them early.
Some worms cat into the forming head,
and when they have thus hidden moth
ing can be done. In small gardens
hand picking will answer, but where
there arc many cabbages this Is not
practicable. The Persian Insect Pow
der, tho Pyrethrnm, is the best, and safe
application. There are in some locali-
ties cabbage worms which come from
other butterflies, but they are TO be
treated IN the samo manner. The large
green caterpillar, Of the five-spotted
Sphinx, known as the tomato worm,n
is most destructive; II will oon leave
nothing but bare stems upon n tomato
plant, eating the green fruit rs well as
the leaves. When the tomatoes are
supported by some kind Of Il %trcllis, as
they always should be in n garden,
worms may be detected by the quanti-
~ OF large pellets OF droppings found
upon the ground. Where these are
seen tho worm should be sought for.
Stems without leaves also Indicate It's
presence. When not eating ii will be
found close TO tho stems. on their un-
der side, and as Il is Of nearly the same
color, may escape notice. The worms are
never very numerous, and manipulating
Is tho best way 10 deal with them. In
spite Of the horn at the tail end they
can neither sting nor bite. Frequently
one Of these will be found with its body
nearly covered with small egg-shaped
white cocoons, often mistaken Tor eggs,
Worms with these should not DO de.
stroyed. ~ they are too weak 10 Dc
much damage and the parasitic insect
should have time 10 leave these cocoons
as they are our friends and should b,
encouraged. The tomato.worm ma,
sometimes be found on potatoes. Amer
