A Rag-Picker's Luck.

Washington Star: In New York
the other morning, a rag picker found
an old envelope, in the upper left-hand
corner of which was dark brown
rectangular stamp, finely engraved,
reading, BratGleboro; VT, 2. O., 5
cents" with the initials "F. NJ. p in
the center. 1t was cancelled and had
the post mark Brattleboro, VT" TO
its right. Thinking he might sell
the stamp he took it to Mr., Henry
Collin, of 70 Nassau street, who
paid $500 for it. The rag
picker was positive that
Mr.. Collin was a lunatic, and was con-
firmed in his belief when the money
was placed in his hand. He did not
wait to count it, but bolted. 1t is the
ouly cancelled Brattleboro stamp
known to be in existence. Eight IN
Cancelled stamps, left over STOCK" are
in collections and are classed as
gems and are worth $1,000 each.
This cancelled stamp is almost price,
less, and the bidding for it among the
philatelomaniacs of the world will be
spirited. Even the $4,000 collection
of Baron Edward Rothschild and the
score of almost equally valuable COL
lections in England and this country
will lose one-half of their interest

Loss ofthe Steamer Eagle in Is udson River
PoUaHKEEPsIR, August s.-fhe
steamer Eagle, from Newburg Tor Al
bany, burned to the waters edge, this
morning, near Milton. The passen-
gers and crew were saved. The pas
sengers were all landed safely at Mil
ton dock. Some freight was saved.
The steamer was then towed to East
shore and beached. Loss, $4,000.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The steamer Eagle left here this
morning with twenty-five passengers
and considerable freight for Albany.
At 7:45 smoke and flames poured out
from beneath the crank room. The
flames spread with great rapidity be-
meath the boiler and engine room.
Streams of water turned on were un-
able to subdue them. The boat headed
for Melton dock, and the passengers
were landed before they knew of the
fire. There was no alarm or confu-
sion, the officers acting promptly and
the crew readily oEeying orders. The
crew succeeded in removing most of
the freight. A horse was burned to
death. The fire soon communicated
to the upper portion. The steamboat
Lefevre, with an excursion party,
came along and lowed the burning
vessel to the east side of the river,
where the Eagle was burned to the
waters edge and her hull beached. At
l o'clock this afternoon the vessel was
a smoking wreck, the only upper por-
ton of the wreck unconsumed being
the flagstaff at the bow. The boat |
was built in 1852, and insured for
S25, 700. The fire caught from the
kitchen stove below deck.

ARCTIC EXPLORERS.

| PORTSMOUTH, N. H., August L.
The Greedy relief squadron arrived in
sight early this morning. The ALI
ance put out, at a. NJ, from Ports
mouth, with orders relative to hold
ing reception on Saturday, but
Secretary Chandler has since changed
the time, and appointed l O'Clock p. m.
to-day for the naval reception III the
harbor. The programme which was
arranged for Saturday will be SUBJ
sJ2ntially carried out. Mrs. Lieut..
Greedy arrived at noon with Gen.
Hazen and party. Lieut.. Greely'S
mother is also here.
AT JUST ABOUT SUNRISE
this morning, the United States
steamer Alliance, which had been sta
toned outside the harbor in expectan-
cy of thr early arrival of the Arctic
fleet, discovered a double line of smoke,
and steaming out soon became aware
o. the arrival or the Greedy arctic re-
lief expedition. The announcement
of the Alliance was brought into play
and gun after gun tbuudered forth
peals of welcome, 10 which The can
doubtless il grateful recognition.

TIE BEAR AND THET1S
and Alliance steamed - the point of
the Isle OF Shoals, where the first stage
of the honeward voyage of the Greedy
relief expedition vas finished.
Gracefully they came into the har
Dor, with yards squared and stacks
pouring forth clouds Of smoke, fully
CWeaty-four hours before the fleet mad
been expected. There was little about
the three vessels to denote the severe
experience which two. Of them had
passed through.
When it became known the Arctic
had arrived outside Of the
harbor. the excitement on board the
men-of-War at anchor was intense.
Shortly after s o'clock the welcome
news of the safe arrival OF the Greedy
fleet spread throughout the city, and
when the Bear and ThetlS had
arrived off Newcastle. Secretary Chan
dler dispatched a steam launch to
Commander Schley, with orders that
the Bear and Thetis should remain in
the citing till preparations for their
reception could be completed. The
secretary of the navy then proceeded
to the Talapoosa, and orders were
given at once for the entire squadron
of vessels in the harbor to prepare
for the reception of the
ARCTIC HEROES.
All the naval vessels were decora-
ted with American flags at the top of
the masts. At noon the press boat,
the government tug Leyden, steamed
down the river, aud came
to anchor where a good view
of the ceremonit S might be obtained.
AS the Leyden steamed down the
river, those on board the old ship Con-
stitution ran up the shrouds, lifted
their hats and waived and shouted
cordial salute. Other vessels in the
lower harbor were decked in the gay
est colors. The flag ship Tennessee
displayed the acting admiral's broad
pennaat at the mizzen mast. The
Tallapoosa gave to the breeze the col
ors of secretary of the navy. The
ships soon got under way and
steamed down the river at noon.

Journal.

A great number Of remedies have
been proposed or used for this formid-
able insect, commonly known as the
green worm" Some of them have
obtained credit by using where the
worms were few in numbers. Pro-
lessor Lazenby says he has tried lime
water, tar water, copperas solution,
whale-oil soap, brine, powdered tansy,
tobacco water, and pyrethrum, the last
being the most effective, both as pow
der and in solution. In powder il
should be mixed with twenty parts Of
-four, buck-wheat being best, and in
solution a tablespoonful in twelve
quarts Of water. Dr. Sturtevant,
Prof. Cook, and others have success
fully used the kerosene emulsion,
made of one ounce of hard
soap, one pint of kerosene, and six
quarts of water, well churned together
and constantly stirred during applica-
ton. 1t will destroy the worms if
they are thoroughly wet, and should
be used when they first make their ap-
pearance. It should be thrown with
some force, using fountain pump.
Milk, sweet or sour, may be used in
place of the soap. On a small scale
an egg-beater may be used for mixing
the ingredients. More recently bran
and -four, and especially buckwheat
flour, have been recommended, and APP
pear to be effectual, if used when the
worms are quite young: when mature
they do not care cent for it. A
small handful will be enough for a
cabbage head. 1t should be used
when the dew is on. Two or three
applications may be necessary. Hot
water. at temperature of about $50
degrees, will destroy the young worms,
but some skill is required to adapt the
heat to its intended purpose without
injuring the plants. Boiling water
may be used if instantaneously applied,
the water partly cooling in the air as
it passes from the rose to the cabbages.
