BEWARE OF THE PoKEa aPLAYERs.--Paymaster
Wasson's 8 explanation to the court martial shows
simply that he was very poor but sanguiue
Poker player. He nearly always lost, but he
hoped "hs luck would turn" but it did not and
having once started down hill, "everything
seemed to be creased for the occasion" The
deficit in his accounts, at first about S2,OOO
grew to $4,000, and no doubt would have kept
increasing had he succeeded in conccaling it
for a time longer. Maj. Wasson's experience
is not n new uuc, and II only goes to eontirss an
impression, already quite general, that poker
player is not q safe person to handle other

the heroism Of the engineer, who, instead of
jumping from the engine after the train left the
main track, occupied himself during the run Of
20 yards to the scene of the collision in revers-
ing the engine and putting on the cir brakes
The accident was caused by the carelessness Of

CARPENTER BEES" Mr.. Editor 81 disooy-
cred pair of insects that looked like bees in
my yard. They have taken up their quarters
in hole bored by them into white pine frame

boring from the surface and made hole 4 of an

not something unusual for bees to drill holes in
that manner in wood? J.L.P.
1t is not unusual for particular species Of
bees, sometimes called carpenter bees" to bore
into posts and the woodwork of houses, espe-

of decay. On the country, that is the habit Of
the bees of this species in constructing their
nests, which are very interesting objects for OBJ.

PEA VINES, CURING GREEN.--We desire some
information in regard to peas and pea vines. Is
there any process by which the green vines with
peas on them can be cured in the green state so
as to get full benefit of them in feeding to
stock &c. o. b., Selma Ala.
ER.-There arc several ways of curing
pea vines, but all embrace one essential point
they must not be exposed to the sun after they
are wilted : if they are, the leaves will drop off
and be lost. very successful, but trou ublesome
plan, is TO build pen foot high, Of rails or
poles; make an open floor across the top with
the same, then build up pen again two feet high
and fill with pea vines; then put another floor
and build up and fill again with vines, and so
on, as high as desirable, and put n temporary
roof over the whole. This arrangement admits
Dir freely and the vines cure well. They should
be cut after the dew is off and hauled up and
put in pen at once. Another plan where we'll
imbcd old field pines are convenient. is to trim
oil the small leaf: bearing branches from the
main limb and cut off the ends of the latter in
such manner AS to have the skeleton tree that
is left, cone-shaped Bild m open foundation
around base of tree, one that will keep vines off
the ground also give free ventilation. This
done stack up the green vines around the skele-
ton tree. comb down and bring it into ordinary
stack shape The limbs keep the vines from
settling down close and give free ventilation
through the mass. Still another method is, to.
rake the vines into . swath aud then roll them
over and over, getting more into the roll until 10
is say two feet in diameter. These rolls arc
then leaned up under shelter to cure. Pea vince
can be cured also by putting in small high
shocks-cut after the dew is off and shock at
once. Make diameter ofshock very small, and
height as great rs possible. Cultivstor.

FOlger Made Happy.


A Treasury official who. is one of the
few bureau officers having Judge FOlger's
confidence saws that one evening last
week the latter went to the White House
and had a long private talk with the
President. Judge FOlger told him frank
IV that he was aware that efforts had
been made to induce the President to ask
for his resignation, and under these cir
cumstances he thought it best to come to
an understanding without further delay.
He then said his resignation was at Mr..
Arthur's disposal. The President eX-
pressed his regret, and asked if he wish
ed to surrender the portfolio. Judge
FOlger told him that he did
not: but he preferred to do
so rather than continue by sutferance
and have the administration look upon
him as an incumbrance and DEAD Welght'
He spoke feelingly Of all that he sur
rendered to 90 into the Cabinet, but eX-
pressed his entire willingness to retire
rather than continue in an uncertain posi-
ton. President Arthur's reply was suf-
ficiently reassuring. He told the Secre-
tary that there was no intention Of disturb
ing him. and that he had entire conf
dence in his administration OF the Treas
ury, So tar was he from wishing his
resignation that he desired MN 70 re-
main as long as he would. Judge FOlger
left an Interview, which he had
sought with some misgivings, perfectly
satisfied. This week he has resumed his
work with genuine zeal, in marked con-
trast with the Indifferent manner which
he has shown for several months. Those
about him have noticed the increased IN
terest which he manifests, though a few
know the cause. 1t is settled now that
Judge Folger can hold his position as long
as he wishes, and it is fair to expect that
he will now undertake some changes IN the
department, from which he has hereto
fore been held back, through fear that be

SAM CoILYER,s INvENTIoN.
The Veteran PugiIist Tries His Hand
at Making Swimming Machine.
7 fttttIttttl 1IttN Y tdJH.
The victorian n11Oilis. Son, InIl


The veteran pugiliss, Sam Collver. who
has been in this city for some time train
ing Michael Cleary for his set-tos i'm the
ring, has just completed a new swimming
apparatus of his own invention. by which
he hopes to realize renown as an inventor
as well as sordid gain. He has been busily
engaged for some months past in a second
story room over Cleary's saloon hammer
ing and pounding, and the sporting fra
ternlty frequenting the place have been
at loss to know what sSam Collyer
was driving at" The apparatus was
completed to-day, and a reporter of the
NelcS was shown the mysterious con-
trivance. Its workings were not fully
explained, however, as the patent has not
yet been applied for. The principle Of
lOcOmOtiOn that is involved is the same as
that ola screw-propelleds steamboat. A bar
with thread cut in it is fastened on the
side of each leg of the swimmer, and the
motion that is made by the lower limbs in
swimming works two screw propellers,
one on each foot. The screws
are about six inches in diameter and of
sufficient pitch to give the swimmer a
great impetus. The workmanship on the
machine is very fine, and the entire ap-
paratus is made of steel. COllyer intends
to offer his invention to the Live-saving
Service for use in the ocean. COllyer is a
practical machinist, having been in the
employ of the government making the in
tricate locks and fittings for the govern
ment ordnance. Hehas not worked at his
trade, however, since he Joined the sporting
fraternity a number of years ago. Sam
proposes to give an EXHIBITION with his
machine as soon as the water in the river
is warm enough. If the invention proves
as great a success as is anticipated, it is
very probable that Collyer will challenge
