pot are very much annoyed and disturbed by

trans. therefore
of the calaboose be directed to go to the depot
at the hours of arrival Of the evening trains,
and remain there as q police officer until all
evening trains shall have departed, and see
proper order is maintained in and around

Mr.. Russell warmly favored the resolution,
and hoped the loafers would be kept away
from the depot. A few arrests would do
good. Mr.. Walk said that sometimes the
loafers crowd the passengers out OF the depot.
Mr.. Russell thought the agent ought to be
authorized 10 make arrests. Mr.. m
said the mob In the city Is the one that gath
ers at the depot, and it ought to be broken
up. The resolution was adoped.
Mr., Walk moved that the marshal notify
Mr.. Mosher to open the alley In old town
which he had closed. Carried.
Mr.. Homer said that as the city had raised
| dram shop licenses 500 mole than 1t expect
| ed to do, he moved that the ordinance com
| mittee be instructed to prepare an ordinance
| reducing the license on billiard tables, from
$50 to $40 a year. He thought billiards a
harmless amusement, and If people will loaf
around the saloons, 1t would be better for
them to play more billiards and drink less
whisky. Mr.. Winsor said the city needed all
the revenue 1t could raise. We now have .
large lot of bills on hand, and he knew of at
least $500 more yet to come, and they can't
be allowed, because we don't know how we
can pay them. There are persons In this
city who are watching us, and If we exceed
our authority, every one Of US will have to
answer before the courts. Mr.. Howell said
the young men do not have to play billiards
or cards. If they want amusement they can
start a debating society. Mir. Hicklin warn
ed the counc against meddling with the
license ordinance. He believed that II the
city should reduce the license $40, the county
court would raise it 5000, and then the coun-
Gil YOU be estopped from again asking any
favor OF the court, and would appear In the
light of men who had broker their word.
After considerable discussion, participated In
by the mayor, and all the members, the mo-
ton was lost.
Mr.. Howell moved that the poll tax Of
Thos. Hare be abated, as he is oyer age. No
action.
Th mayor appointed jesse Hamlet keep
er Of the calaboose for the ensuing month.

The Journal as gravely discusses the flop Of

70 the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Your issue of this date contains eablegram
| which says: 1.-THE London Standard says: In
fusntial Irish Americans have urged Mr.. Par
nell to issue an address to the Irish voters in
America requesting them tosupport Blaine and
Logan, in hopes that their election would result
in fomenting difficulties between England and
the United States.' etc. Now, sir, while j do
not believe that there is word of truth in the
statement and also that it is put out
in order to scare away from the Re
publican party all that element in the
United States that would rather do amy
kind of toadying, and bowling and seraping than
fight for their countrys rights, nevertheless,
it is q foregone conclusion that most of the in
f1uential Irish. Americans, as well as thousands
who are not so influential. will vote for Blaine
and Logan at the next election and they will do
so regardless of the desire or opinion of Mr.
Parnell or any other Irishman. outside or inside
of America. It is in the air, and cannot be set
aside for all the various reasons leading to this
result have been steadily shaping themselves
during ten years; and you would be astonished
il ycu had the opportunity to see
and converse with Efishmen all over the land
With what breath of satisfaction they are able
to say, Il will vote for Blaine and Logan, any
how 1t puts one in mind of swimmers who
have been some time under water. just popping
their heads up and breathing freely and loudly.
You can depend upon it, Mr., Editor, that for
every Republican political dude or eunuch who
is deserving the party through fear Of electing
Mr.. Blaine, he will gain one hundred honest,

About Potato Bugs.

u.
When they attack young potato plants so
early, and in such numbers, ] think hand-pick-
ing is the best way Of managing them for the
following few weeks. If left to themselves,
they retard the growth of the young plants, and
do them great damage and if Paris green is
used while the plants are tender, it, too, will
injure them But if the old beetles can be kept
in check until the potatoes got good start, at
about the, time the young Larvae appear, Paris
green can be used to good purpose and with
little or no injury to the crop. do not like the
plan of mixing the Paris green with -four ashes
or lime, and using it dry. My experience with
it in that form has shown it to be more ex-
pensive, less effective. and requiring more labor
III its application. Besides, do not like to
breathe the air when filed with PARTICLES ofsuch
dust
A large brook passes through my farm, and
with team and barrels can soon have plenty Of
water close to my potato field then take a
pound Of Paris green and mix with it three pints
of water OF this mixture put large spoon
fui into q TWO gallon watermgpot and fill it with
water. can pass across the piece at a brisk
walk, sprinkling the tops, and doing good work.
The advantage Of wetting the Paris green in the
quart and q half of water is twofold- 1t saves
frequent handling Of the dry powder (which the
slightest breeze will scatter through the air, !
and in this wet condition it will mingle with the
water when put into the watering-p0t SO much
more readily than will the dry powder, and two
thirds Of the time required in stirring will be
saved.

are farmers who never taste grape, who know
nothing Of the varieties, who deny themselves q
luxury because they do not take the trouble to
have them. The cost of the vines is trihe,
and as the grapes grow and produce everywhere
in this country, The reason why they are not
grown more extensively is not easily ex-
planned. One thing we must advise farmers
to do, and that is to deliberate the Fox
grape wherever it is found. Some farmers con-
tent themselves with them, and win not look
around for other kinds as long as the Fox grape
annually bears few scattered punches Of thick
skinned unpaatabe berries. We must war on
the Fox in order to Introduce something better.
There should not only be grape.vines on the
farm, but they should be from all the varieties
early, Medium and lateand the kind best
adapted to the soil and climate selected, and
grown in such numbers as to make the fruit
plentiful during the grape season.
