thusiastic Blaine and Logan meeting was held at
Charlottesville, tonight, and was addressed by

send Mr.. Grifiths to any part of the State in the
campaign. He will take care of himself and the
Republican cause. The people of Hancock
county will want to hear Mr.. Grifiths often.

good account of itself in November.

Twenty Years After.

Elkhart journal,
Mr.. David Frankfoder of this city, one of the
general agents Of the Mccormick Reaper Compa-
ny, tells a story that would go to prove that there
are exceptions to the general rule of the old
Arabian who used to say to young men, lit is
of little use to form plans Of life, young man."
when speaking of the future. Mr.. sFrankfoder
tells hat during the war he was serving in the
Army of the Cumberland, being in the Sixty
Seventh Regiment of Indiana Volunteers, Com
pany K, of which Stanton J. Peelle, the present
rightful congressman OF the Indianapolis Dig
trict was lieutenant, and he was orderly ser
geant. They were both young men and bunk
mates. One evening after a day Of skirmishing,
and when they had both had some very close
calls from rebel bullets, as they were
lying in their tent near Hillsboro,
Tennessee, Lieutenant Peelle turned to
Mr.. Frankfoder and said: well. Sergeant, what
will you do when you get homer sOh, l don't
know; turn my hand to something; but | want
to see first whether there will be anything to go
back to before saying. much about going home
What will you do when you get back, Lieuten-
ant!' well, | am going to go to college, and
try to get an education; then l am going to study
law; then ! will go to indianapolis and practice,
and | will join the church and do the right thing,
and get the confidence of the people, and then I
am going to Congress, and want to see that the
right thing is done for the soldiers Mr., Frank
FODDER said they both laughed at the time, being
only about twenty years Of age, and left their
plans for the future, But Mr.. Peelle seems to
have worked up to his idea steadily, and in his
case, at least, plans of life amounted to some
thing more than day-dreams, as he has followed
almost precisely the plan as laid down in the tent
at Hlllsboro over twenty years ago.

Potato Bug Poisons.

The Country Home.
When the Colorado potato-bug was disturbed
in his Rocky Mountain residence by the advance
of civilization he began to move east, crossed
the Mississippi river, and now threatens to estab.
fish himself in Europe, having taken passage by
steamer and been seen crawling along the quays
of foreign ports. 1t may perhaps be said that
he will be as desirable an immigrant as many
that they send to us.
When the persevering beetle first made him
self known to Eastern farmers he seemed to
threaten the ruin of every potato field on the
continent, but it was soon found that he was the
most easily observed of any of our troublesome
insects, and could readily be poisoned by Paris
green. This is a cheap combination of arsenic
and copper, known to chemists as arseniate Of
copper, and in the best state for use it contains
from 55 to so per cent. of arsenic. Its
great use in potatogrowing has led
to its adulteration, and much of the green now
sold does not contain half the poison that it
should have. When pure, a pound of the green
may be mixed with $50 to 200 pounds of plaster,
and be thoroughly effective If applied in the
morning when the dew is on the plants. If ap-
piled wet, half a pound to forty gallons of water
IS strong enough. AS it is insoluble in water, ii
must be frequently stirred when applied.
London purple is much advertised, and has
been used instead of Paris green with good re-
suits. This is an a~rseniate of lime, and is a by
product IN manufacture of aniline dyes. Before
It was used as an insecticide it was of no value
to consumers, and it's cost is only in the packages
and transportation. It should be sold anywhere
at from 10 to 10 cents per pound. The
efficacy of this poison appears to be nearly equal
of that of Paris green. It works more slowly,
and its effects are not apparent until two or
three days after its application. It is much less
poisonous to the human system than Paris green,
and is more adhesive to vegetation; its color
readily indicates where it has been used. It's
most effective mixture seems to be one pound Of
purple to forty of -four or other substances.

A Courteous Professor.
Boston Advertiser.

BObIUM AuF6IJIseF,
fessor a.. S. Packard, whose sudden death last
Sunday viii be felt by every graduate of Bow
dom College, is one which illustrates his cour-
tesy as well as his delicate sense of humor. A
gentleman, who is now a physician of this city,
having a sunny room, allowed a neighboR to use
his acknowledges for the ripening of some fine
pears, which the possessor saidhad been sent him
from home, but which had in reality been feloni
ously distracted from the orchard of Professor
Packard While the fruit lay there, slowly
reddening, temptingly. the professor came one
day to the room on an errand. No word or look
gave sign that he recognized his former prop
erty until he rose to go, when he remarked,
pleasantly: You have some fine pears here,
Nh. G, think you will find those on the left
hand a little the highest flavor. I've taken great
pains with that graft c., although innocent,
was too much confused to reply.

JUNIUs BRUTUs BOOTH.

for His Brothers Crime.
louisville Conrier-JournaI.
Zone of the most excited mobs 1 ever saw in
my life was the one which attempted to hang
Junius Brutus Booth, at Cincinnati, the morning
after Lincoln's assassination
Emile Beulief was the speaker. He made the
remark in conversation with some friends, last
evening
Il was then a clerk at the Burnet House he
continued II had gone there with Captain Sflas
Miller, who had purchased it just prior to that
time. Junius Booth was billed to pay there,
and arrived at the hotel on the evening when his
brother shot Lincoln.
He came down stairs the next morning, and
after breakfast was on the point of going out to
take a stroll. | had just heard, a few minutes
before. that the people were in atumult, and had
torn down his bills all over the city. He came
up to the desk, and as he did so I informed him
that / thought it would be best for him not to 20
out in the streets. He looked at me in amaze
ment, and asked what meant Haven't YOU
heard the news? said L He replied that he had
not. ! didn't like to say any more, and he
walked off, looking greatly puzzled. Going to
a friend, who was standing near, he asked in
rather an excited manner what that young
man meant by talking that way, and wanted
to know if I wasn't crazy, The man told
no, that | was the clerk. More mystifed
than ever, he returned and demanded my reason
for the remark. / saw then that he was in igno-
rance Of the tragedy, and reluctently informed
him that his brother had killed the President.
He was the most Mortified man that I ever saw,
and for the moment he was overcome with the
shock. suggested to him that it would be bet
ter to go to his room, ard he did so, being ae-
companied by one or two Of his friends.
81 had scarcely gone up stairs before She
room was filed with people. The mob was fully
800 in number, and wanted to End Booth.
They were perfectly furious, and it
was with the greatest difficulty that
we checked them by the story that
their intended victim had left the house. They
would have hung him in a minute if they could
have laid hands upon him, so great was their
rage. They returned almost Immediately, but
by this time we had removed Booth from his
room to that, of a friend The mobwatched the
house so closely that it was four or five days be
fore he had a chance to leave. We finally Snug
gled him away, however.
I've seen four or five different accounts Of
that circumstance. but none Of them were cor
rect. The story that he was disguised as a wo-
man to effect his escape is all wrong. He left in
his ordinary clothing"

Monsignor Capel at Madison, Wis.
1t is a remarkable fact that the English and
English-speaking people have always neglected
one study which every other nation insists upon
as the foundation of all studies-the study of
their mother tongue. TIL Greeks and the Ro-
mans studied their mother tongue to perfection.
No man among them was considered educated
who was not thoroughly familiar with his mother
tongue. If l were called upon to define an edu-
Gated man, | should say it was the man who
knows his language best.

Comfort for Hay Fever sufferers.

New York Mail and Express.
One Of the most remarkable things about the
hay fever is that it attacks only persons Of
AngloSaxon blood and is mostly confined to the
upper and middle classes of them. 1t is, there
fore, an aristocratic disease, q fact which may
be of some comfort to those who suffer from it.
The scientific explanation of this fact is that
persons Of this raceand social position possess a
certain peculiar idiosyncrasy, dependent,perhaps,
on abnormality in the mucus membrane This
il both lucid and satisfactory.

Hartford Cry, July 21.-The Democracy of
this place and vicinity, last Saturday night,
ratified the nomination of Cleveland and Hen
bricks. Extensive preparations had been made
and celebrated speakers from a distance were
advertised, but not present. The stand was
draped in flags and bunting, and rows Of Chinese
lanterns festooned the trees. There was a bril-
liant display of fireworks and music, n a
small cannon, manufactured expressly for the
campaign, was initiated. Speeches were made
by B. A. Van Wrinkle. ex-senator Briscoe, and
E. Pierce. The Grafton of the evening was de-
livered by DR.. 3. G. Davidson. There was no
enthusiasm, and many Democrats went away in
disgust. The nominations fell like a wet cloth
on the Democrats. One old veteran who had
voted the ticket for forty years said that the
finale of his Democratic career was now at hand
