Sale of a Famous Trotting Stallion.

The telegraphic announcement made
few days ago that the famous trotting STALL
ion, Black Cloud, whose brilliant perform
ance upon the turf last season won the as
tonishment and admiration of horsemen,
had been sold by the estate of the late An
drew Cutter, of Parma, Mich, to N. V.
Wagner, Esq, Mayor Of Marshall, Mich,
has proven to ;9e correct. Black Cloud is
a marvel of beauty, and is perhaps one of
the handsomest horses in race that ever
trotted upon the American turf, having
record of 2:174. He is large, finely pro.
portioned, and as black as black can be-"
His hair is as fine as silk, and as soft as
velvet, his name and tail are long and
heavy, the latter almost touching the
ground. The noble animal passes into ex-
cellent hands. The purchaser, Mayor Nj.
Y. Wagner, is not only an admirer and lov-
er Of good horses, but is also first-class
business man, of energy and enterprise.
He is large manufacturer, and is the busi-
ness manager of the Voltaic Belt Co., of
Marshall, Mich, whose appliances have
been so persistently and skillfully adver-
tised. Black Cloud has been placed in the
hands ii a noted Chicago driver, who will
ca.upaign him this season.

Turnip Flea Worms.

The turnip fly, which everywhere
visits and feeds upon the first leaves of
the young turnip, is a small, black,
jumping beetle. and is often called the
turnip flea, and sometimes Black Jack.
The beetle feeds only on the young
leaves, and not on the rough ones. If
a turnip crop can be carried through
the first week after it is out of the
ground, or until it is in the rough, it is
safe from much further harm from the
insect. The best means, therefore, of
guarding against injury by the beetle is
to have the soil rich and in the best con-
dtion to push the plants along strong
and rapidly from the first. In our own
practice we have found that dusting the
plants as soon as they make their APP
pearance with fine air-slaked lime,
wood ashes, or with plaster (gypsum),
has the effect to protect the leaves to
great extent, while it in no way Injuries
or checks their growth. These rene
dies are very generally recognized and
applied. 1t is true that the insects are
not wholly deferred from their attacks
by the application of these substances,
and, if the stand is a poor one, it may
be destroyed in spite of all efforts to
save it. A thick seeding is desirable,
and then, if the plants come well and
the powder is applied as soon as they
are out of the ground, and repeated as
often as necessary to keep the leaves
covered, sufficient number for a good
crop can usually be brought to perfec-
tion. As often as rains wash the pow
der off the Dlant if muSt ba reduSted
and kept covered until in the rough
leaf. 1t is best to apply the dust in the
morning when the plants are moist
with dew, or otherwise to have one per-
son go forward and sprinkle them,
while another follows scattering the
powder.
Worms at the roots of house plants
can be destroyed by the use of lime
water. Take lump of lime, six or
eight pounds, and slake it in pail of
water, and when it has settled pour off
the clear liquor and immerse the pot
in it, letting it stand fifteen or twenty
minutes; and then take it out and allow
it to drain. By this means earth-wOrms
will be destroyed, or they will come to
the surface and can then be removed.
The small white worms that are some
times found in pots Of plants may be
destroyed by the phosphorus on COM
mon matches. Take three or four
matches and stick them into the soil of
the pot, phosphorus end into the soil,
and also insert two or three into the
soil at the bottom by thrusting them
upward through the drainage hole

An Extraordinary Eye.

There was an occurrence in Northern
Liberties yesterday which beyond doubt
has no parallel in any known history
While John Daniel, or Hughes, negro,
better known as ''Pop-Eyed-John, was
walking along the street, his right eye
popped out and fell down on his cheek.
1t hung there for several minutes, and
John was frightened out of his wits for
fear he had lost his eye. He laid upon
the ground and gave vent to his grief
in loud groans, and while he was strug-
Cling around the eye quietly resumed
its position in the socket, and to John S
great surprise and happiness he could
see from it as well as ever. The gen.
tleman who reported the occurrence to
us says that it was witnessed by seven
ty-fve or eighty people. Columbus

The most difficult punctuation Is

While more boys are born than
girls it is a singular fact that there is a
surplus of female population. 1t is
easily accounted for. Fooling with toy
pistols, playing base ball, and falling
off cherry trees, all boyish pastimes,
are six times more hazardous than
wearing corsets and jumping the rope
500 times in one inning.-Norristown

There is no excuse for the young
man who complains that his tiance
kisses him so much he can't get a
chance to engage her in rational con-

Sodium is substance which seems to
have been created especially to meet
such case as his. As soon as any
moisture touches it it bursts into flame.
