Paris Green and Potatoes,

The inquiry is repeatedly made, if
the use Of paris green for killing the po-
tato beetle is II dangerous to all who
eat the tubers, and we rece lily met with
three intelligent persons who invariably
refused to eat mouthful unless assured
that paris green had not been used ON
them. They ascribed several existing
epidemics to the u-e of such potatoes.
In answer to the inquiry, we may state
in the first place that paris green is in.
soluble, and that the potato cannot in
any way absorb it. This would seem to
be sufficient reason. But others may
be added, among which are the facts
that the poison is not applied to the to-
Der, but to the leaves above ground, and
the potatoes cannot get at it; and also
that the quantity is 80 minute when
spread over an acre, that the iron which
is in nearly all soils in far greater guam
tity, neutralizes the poison at once as
soon as it reaches the ground and before
the potatoes could possibly come in CON-
tact with it. Millions of persona eatsuch
potatoes daily, year in and year out, and
most of them live.-Country Gentleman.

THE PRESS.

Where bird and mammal first saw light.
The gods in council found for power
A storage in the giants might.
Then Hercules in triumph roamed,
And mastodon and mammoth grew:
Then ponderous strength was found in aesb
And force no other measure knew.
Swept on the tidal wave of Time,
Past Roman arms and walls of stone:
Swept on the age of intellect,
Until the press in power shone.

Nor governments with armed hosts,
Explosives or electric force.

Another African Exploration.

The Vienna correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph says: "The
expedition which DR.. Holub is about to
undertake into the interior of Africa
will, if he carries out his present inten-
tions, prove only second in importance
to Livingstone's and SANKEY'S out of
those hitherto accomplished in that con-
tinent. DIR. Holub hopes to cross Africa
from north to south-from Port Eliza
beth to the Mediterranean. This gigan-
tic enterprise, as conceived by the AUS
TRAN explorer, will not be mere voy-
age Of geographic discovery, but, if sue
cessful, will prove of immense benefit
to science at large, contributing valuable
additions to ethno!ogy. botany, geology
and natural history. The results of DR..
Holub's first African expedition justify
great expectations as to the second. DR..
Holub has given the correspondent
some few particulars of his proposed
journey. It will, he states, be divided
into three parts-a tour Of four to seven
months through some of the civilized
parts of south Africa; through the west
and eastern provinces of the Cape Colo
nv, Gri4ualand West and the Orange
Free state; journey through the Be-
chuana kingdoms toward the north, of
similar duration; journey north of the
Zambesi, as far to the north as it is posi-
BILE to penetrate, with the intention of
reaching Egypt and following the Nile
to the Mediterranean. He intends to
prosecute researches in botany, zoology,
geology, ethnology and anthropologv,
and make, when possible, daily observa-
tions with his astronomical instruments.

A YANKEE GIRLS PLUCK.
She Horsewhipped q Memb Der of the
Legion of Honor in Paris.

She Horsewhipped Member of the
Legion Of Honor in Paris.
Lucy Hooper's letter in Philadelphia Ledger.
I recently heard of an action on the
part OF a young American girl toward a
French woman-insulter which has filled
my soul with admiration and delight.
The young lady in question, who is a re-
fined, modest, and high-bred young
girl, is staying with some members Of
her family at one Of the prominent ho.
tells on the avenue de l'Opera. As her
dress and manners are alike unobtrusive,
she has never hesitated to go out alone
whenever business or inclination i'm
PEELED her to do 80. One would fancy
that on that wide, brilliant avenue, in
broad daylight, a quiet. modest young
lady, IN the city deemed the center Of
the worlds civilization, would be per-
tectly safe from annoyance or molesta-
ton of any kind; such was not the case.
For few weeks past, whenever sh e
ventured out alone she was followed and
accosted by stylish-dressed individual
about 43 years old, wearing the red rib
bon of the Legion of Honor in his but
ton-hole. This parsonage would not only
follow her but would address her in Lam
guage of the fulsome, CORY plimentary
style, would thrust his face under her
bonnet, would go a few steps in front
of her and would then look back and
leer at her, and in fact he conducted
himself IN the manner that welI-bred
Partisan gentleman usually considers
proper to assume when he meets an I'M
protected young girl. This went on for
some time to the infinite annoyance of
the young lady. Her tormenter never
made his appearance when her brother
was with her, or when there was police
man in hailing distance-on these occa-
Finally, the other day, the affair cana
to climax. The young lady was return
ing to her hotel about three o'clock in
the afternoon, when her persecut or
made his appearance and began tor
menting her as usual. The
hunted girl, worried, wearied, and ex-
asperated, WIS at last wrought up to the
highest pitch of Indignation and nerv-
GUS excitement, CHANGING to pass cab
stand, by sudden impulse she snatched
one of the drivers whips from it's socket,
and, turning on her tormentor, she cut
him sharply across the face with the
lash. Being taken by the surprise, he
started back. and let fall his hat. AS he
stopped to pick 1t up she followed up
her advantage, raining blow after blow
upon his head and shoulders, so sunni
ing and bewildering him that he was
some time in discovering his lost head
gear, ev ry moment of which she en-
ployed to the best advantage. At last,
catching his rescued hat, he fled from
the scese as fast as his legs could carry
him, followed by the laughter and jeers
of the whole line of cabmen who heartily
sympathized with the brave young her.
Dine of the scene. And so one Of the
woHlan.insulters of Paris has at last met
with his deserts, and at the hands Of an
American girl! I feel inclined to cry
with the jolly old tabman, when he re-
ceived back his useful whip, "Bravo,
Mademoiselle! That was we'll DONE"
