A FEMALE MISUNDERSTANDING news
papers for some time past have been telling
strange stories of the miraculous feats of a
Miss Hurst, of Georgia, but as they were
supposed to belong to the hackneyed order
Of spiritual manifestations, little attention
was paid to them. A few days ago, how.
ever, Miss Hurst appeared in Washington,
and exhibited some of her strange powers
in the presence of several professors of the
Smithsonian Institute as well as number
of members of congress. 1t issufficient to
say that her feats were rather out of the line
of ordinary spiritual manifestations, and
created unbounded establishment. A World
correspondent writes:
In the clear lightof blazing chandelier,
in the presence of about fifty watchful peo-
pie, the Georgia girl showed herself the
possessor of most curious strength. With
her hands resting lightly upon the handle
of an umbrella held by a stout young man
from among the spectators she was able to
shoot the umbrella through space by sim
pie exercise of her will. Congressman
Reese, of Georgia, who Is very powerful
man. tried to hold a chair in his arms while
Miss Hurst rested her hands lightly upon
it. The chair was forced down in spite of
the most violent struggles of the muscular
Congressman until it was about two inches
from the floor. Nov push the chair down
10 the floor" cried Father Hurst. Mr..
Reese changed his resisting powers and
bore his whole weight upon the chair with.
out being able to make ii touch the floor.
This experiment was repeated with two
men, and then three tried to hold the chair
still under the touch of the young woman,
but in vain. 1t was tested in various ways,
but no one was strong enough to resist the
so-called force. There is no claim upon
the part of the Hurst family of any super
natural explanation of the young woman's
powers. For nine months she has been
the possessOr of the nervous strength eXhib
tied this evening. She can raise chairs in
which stout men are seated by simply plac-
ing her palms on the back of the chair
This was done this evening with various
well-knOwn gentlemen who were present
Miss Hurst is a strong, healthy looking
country girl. She claims to be in perfect
gale of spirits when exhibiting her strength,
and laughs neryously at every movement
OF the strong men in their mad struggles to
resist the highest pressure of her hands.

Deer Park.

The season has again opened at Deer
Park, as will be seen by adver of the Park
elswhere. Already the never.ending stream
OF summer visitors has begun to flow into
the Park from all pats of the country
The popularity of this famous resort grows
with each succeeding season. and ten years
from now, when the railroads shall have
discovered it, will doubtless be furnished
with grand hotel and all the paraphe.
MALTA OF genuine summer resort.
To adopt remark in Hnper:; Very
few La Sale county people appreciate the
beauty of their surroundings, and, in fact,
the like is true of Americans in general
about the things nearest home. If they
did, and completed the natural beauty by
art, the whole valley of the Illinois from
the old widow Brown Ford" to Starved
Rock and the Deer Park road would be
made grand boulevard, making one of the
finest drives in the West But these things
cost money, and though La Sale county is
rich II is not yet rich enough for that kind
OF luxury. But we doubt not it will one
day come, when the development of the
resources of this valley will demand a
business road over much of that ground.
OF the seventy and odd thousands of in.
habitants of this county, and the one hun
dred thousand it will have not many years
hence, only small proportion are or will
be able to make the annual summer pill
grimage north or east. The stay at homes
need places for recreation The county
has endless possibilities rs a great summer
land. Its many mineral springs, pictur
esque drives, and lovely spots like Deer
Park will be fully utilized
For this year, Mr. Clayton, at the Park,
has been making some improvements: but
his labors have been chiefly directed to
getting possession of the land surrounding
the Park. There has been a constant dan
ger of the establishment of brush whisky
shops and other nuisances, TO avoid which
Mr.. c. has secured all the approaches
which forever stops any annoyance of that
kind. Hereafter, then, improvements of
substantial nature will follow rapidly. As
the work would interfere with the comfort
of guests, they will be delayed until after
the season is over. But in the meantime
all necessary arrangements for the conven.
fence of guests has been made. and the
Park as ever will be a delightful place TO
visit.

THE MAPLE LOUISE.


As this insect is at present doing n great
deal of damage to the soft naples in this Vi.
cinity, information in regard to its natural
history and how to fight il will be of inter-
est. Mr.. O. G. Gibbs, in a communication
in the Chicago Tribune, has the following on
the subject:
In the report of the State Entomologist in
the transactions of the department Of agri-
culture of the state OF Illinois for 1877, at
pages 800 to 1871, there is a treatise upon
this insect. As its present depredations are
serious matter TO the owners Of shade trees,
condense from it the principal points which
will be of practical interest to tree-owners.
The technical name Of the insect among en-
tomologists is the Lecanum acericola. II is
first noticed in the spring as white waxy
scale like substance adhering TO the under
side of the twigs These are the adult fe-
males from the previous years brood. Their
development is described as follows in notes
taken at Peoria in 1877 From May 10 to
June = the female gradually enlarged from
deposition of eggs within the abdomen. June
6 eggs commenced to issue from the abdo-
men, and deposited upon the twigs, June
10 young lice were first discovered but depO-
siton of eggs by the adult females still con-
tinuing. June II young lice crawling quite
actively and settling upon the under sides Of
the leaves. July adult females mostly
dead. July 10 male pupae easily distin-
guished. August 20 males and females cop
ulating. September 8 males disappeared
young females still on the leaves. September
30 females moving from the leaves and set
Ting down on the lower sides Of the limbs
for winter quarters, where they remain in n
dormant state till spring
Remedies-When first Matched they are
weak and can be easily destroyed by almost
any poisonous solution sprayed so freely
upon the trees ~ TO saturate the foliage.
White hellabOre has been found effective in
the proportions of one pound to twenty gal |
Ions of water. A solution Of tobacco and
soap is also good, as would also be solution
of arsenic in the proportion of one pound to
400 gallons of water. 1t should be dissolved
in boiling water, and no stock should be al |
lowed to Craze under trees sprayed with it |
until there has been sharp rain to wash |
from the grass what may have fallen upon it, !
What is known as the Excelsior force pump,
sold by all dealers in seeds and implements,
costing 50 retail, furnishes probably as cheap
md effectual means for spraying trees to de-
,troy the insects as can be found Readers
will notice that the time for attempting their
destruction is as soon as possible after the
7oung are Matched, which in 1877 in the
altitude of Peoria was about the middle Of
Iune. The presence Of these insects upon
rees will be readily recognized by the un-
Healthy and wilted appearance of the foliage.
While they rarely if ever kill tree, they
heck its growth and destroy the beauty of
is appearance for the season, and no owner
f fine trees can afford to permit them to
york unmOlested.

You all know It is true,

There Jimmy g., and Johnny A., and
Stephen you all know who,
And all the rest of the star-route buns
Sail around In the same canoe.
They say he Is a statesman great,
Though once dove in the mire-
The time he got the Mulligan letters
And threw them in the fire.
He says, "You know they would ruin me;
What better could doy
For, sink or swim, | was bound to save
Jim Blaine and his motley crew"
Oh, when he got in the Garfield crowd
He did not know what to do,
Until he got at loggerheads
With Chill and Peru.
Says he, ave will 20 over there
And belt them black and blue,
And learn them not to turn up their nose
At Jim Blaine or his motley crew.
Stephen, he got in dirty scrape;
The gang they helped him through;
And now he Is down in New Mexico
Believing for the crew.
He says, "Hurrah for Jimmy Blaine;
We will stick to him like glue,
And give old Arthur the great big run,
For he don't stand in with the crew"
The Arthur boys have the stomach-ache now,
They don't know what to do,
When they think Of the rottenncss Of
Jim Blaine and his motley crew.
Just one word of advice, boys,
And then will say adieu;
When you go out on election day
Don't vote for jim Blaine or his crew
