THE readers of The REPUBLICAN will II o
doubt be gratifed in finding Mr., Julius Lans'
burgh's carpet and furniture advertisement
in our columns. The great success attained
by this merchant is due principally to the
fact that each and every article ut his i'm
mense establishment Is warranted and sold at
a price that leaves but small margin OF
profit 1t is pleasure to see his crowded
floors with eager buyers and the pleasant and
attentive salesmen, who seem to outrival each
other in endeavOring to please their many
patrons Mr., Lansburgh has always been a
great advocate of printers ink, and conf
dentially tells us that he attributes his success
in business to the fact of placing his ideas be-
fore the public in the newspapers in the shape
of advertisements. Hundreds of orders come
weekly to him from towns in Maryland and
Virginia, and it keeps his corps of packers
constantly employed in executing the same.
1t would be advisable TO glance over the
prices enumerated in his advertisement.
Changes will be made each and every week,
and goods advertised at price for a certain
period will not be sold at tho expiration of
same, We conclude by introducing Mr..
Lansburgh to those who are not acquainted
with him, and feel happy in doing So as We
are confident that it will be mutually agree
able,

Spare the Destroyers of the Potato Bug

Spare the Destroyers of the Potato Bug.
A number of insects aid the farmer
and gardener in keeping the greatest of
check. The Lady-bugs or Lady
birds, in their larval state, are among
the most effective enemies of the potato
bug" doing valuable service in destroy
ing both eggs and larvae. The mature
lady bugs are red, pink or bright color,
with small black dots, and should be
known and protected by all farmers.
Some of the tiger beetles do good
work against the potato beetle. The
Lydel5a dOryph0rG is an internal para
site, closely resembling a common fly,
and is one of the most efficient destroy
ers of the Colorado beetle. The female
fly attaches single egg to the body of
the potato larva. The small footless
maggot soon matches, burrows into the
body of its victim, and finally destroys
it. This fly may be seen buzzing about
in the summer, and at times is so abun-
dant in potato fields, as to remind one
of a swarm of bees.
A species of mite [Uropoda An,eri-
c0nG) attacks the beetle and sometimes
so covers its host that no part of the
beetle is visible. This external parasite
is about the size of small pin head,
and is yellowish brown.
Several birds feed upon the potato
beetle, among which is the too much
prosecuted crow. This sable bird will
even dig into the earth for the hiberna-
ting individuals. The services of the
common quail are underrated in this re-
spect. The rose-breasted grosbeak has
a fondness for the potato beetle, and
does much good by feeding upon it.
Ducks and chickens have learned to eat
the Larvae, and some fowls have over
come the native dislike for the mature
insect Thirty or forty perfect beetles
have been found in chickens crop.
Among quadrupeds the skunk some
time eats the potato beetle, while the
common toad and black snake feed free
ly upon this pest of the farm,
The various poisons employed. among
which Paris Green and London Purpla
take the lead, are effective and easily
applied; but every precaution should be
taken to favor the natural enemies, and
thus help to adjust the system of nature
that it viii favor the healthful growth
of all farm and garden crops. Spare
the insect and other enemies of the po-
tato beetle, and there will be less need
of applying dangerous arsenical COM
pounds -AmericGn AgricuLturist for

Peter DOoper Liberal Distributions,

During the winters of 1915, 1856,
and 1867 the suffering of the poor in
New York from privation, cold, and
want of employment were unpreceden-
ted in the history of the metropolis.
Every day during these long winters,
from o'clock in the afternoon until
$50, Mr.. Peer Cooper sat in his office
or library Oh Lexington avenue, and no
one, however shabby in dress, was re.
fused admission. On the table before
him were piled hundreds of newly coined
half-dollars and piles of one-dollar
greenbacks, and these piles were replen-
ished every hour by the servants in at
tendance. His rule was to give every
applicant half dollar in any event, and
if the case seemed to be specially ur-
gent one, the donceur was doubled,
with request either to write history
of the case, have it authenticated by
some clergyman or other authority, and
send it in for further consideration. As
early as 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon
crowds of poverty-stricken people-men
and women of every nationality and
position in life-might be seen gathered
in front of the Lexington avenue resi-
dence, and the amount expended often
amounted to $500 in single day, ir-
respective of the special cases that were
more carefully inquired into, and in
which special aid was given. Most of
the applicants were strangers, and many,
of course, were downright frauds But
the old man proceeded npon the prin-
ciple that it is better to be deceived by
many than to deny one deserving suffer-
er. He could afford, he used to say, to
give half dollar to anybody who asked
for it, irrespective of the merits of the
applicant, and time did not permit him
to inquire too minutely into the circum.
stances. His heaviest week during any
season aggregated $1,000; it was con-
siderable money to spend on mendi-
cants; but, as the old man said, the
ministers would take care of those who
belonged to their denominations, and
some one must take care of those who
were neither Episcopalians nor Metho-
dists, Presbyterians nor Catholics. 1t
was those who had no religious atfilia-
tons who were most liable to suffer
without any resources or remedy; and
it was for this class that he kept up his
distribution of half dollars-NeU York

4 Three-Cent Stamp Worth 500.

In 1886, while awaiting supplies from
the department at Washington. the
postmasters of certain cities were au-
thorized to issue stamps temporarily.
Among others so issuing was the Post
master of Brattleboro. Eight hundred
stamps were printed, and of these one
halt were burned Collectors have been
in search of some of these stamps. and
it was considered hopeless matter to
procure one of them. One collector,
however. who was shrewder than the
rest instituted search for the en-
graver, whom he found residing in
Springfield, and be had still remaining
seven OF the precious squares, which he
disposed of TO the collector for seventy
five cents each, besides furnishing in
dubitable proof of the genuineness of
the issue, the very existence of which
was doubted. The fact of the purchase
leaked out, and dealer offered 81
apiece for six of the seven. This was
refused by the original purchaser, who
demanded five times that sum. and be-
fore the money reached him, although
it was sent with promptitude, he had an
offer of 80 apiece. Being an honest
man, he stuck to his first offer, and
parted with six for $50. The most pre-
cious of the lot. which bore the engrav-
err name, he retained possession of, and
this is the one he has now sold for S1OO
