The Cottony Maple Scale.


ORDER HEMIPTERA; FAMILY coccIDAE.
This scale insect stands prominent amons
the species which have been especially abun-
daut during the past summer. Circumstan-
ces appear to have been particular favorable
to its development, and although it does not
spread rapidly It's general appearance this
season has caused considerable alarm in many
States. 1t was sent to US during the spring
and summer by correspondents in New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, illinois, and Miss
ourl. For the past thirty years it has at
uacied considerable attention as damaging
shade trees, particularly the naples, in differ
ent paris OF the country, occurring in ex-
traordnary abundance from time to time,
and then almost lost sight of for several
years. 1t is more particularly Northern
insect, and although it is often numerous in
Virginia and Missouri, we have never re-
ceived it from, nor heard of its occurrence in
the extreme Southern States.

The ordinary tood-plant OF this species Of
bark-louse is the Soft or Silver maple Acer
ddscdyrPum), but previous to 1879 we had
not only found 1t upon the other species o;
Maple, but also upon grapevine, Usage
more Rose, Currant and Spindle tree Euony-
mus. In addition to these plants, MIR. Put
nam mentions Locust, Sunac, wild Crane,
Box-elder, Beech. and Willow. With regard
to the specific identity OF the individuals from
all these different plants there is still r, om
for doubt, though in 1875 we successfully Y
transferred the species from Maclura and
Wits 10 Quercus. We wrotU Mr.. Putnsm.

"Sheet-Yron Jack"

.sSheet-Iron Jack" an audacious
brigand, fifteen years ago was terror
to Several counties of northern Califor-
MIA. He was well educated, handsome,
tall, the son OF minister, so all ac'
counts agreed, and his name had been
gained BY the immunity from bullet"
wounds that he appeared to possess.
Men did not hesitate to declare That
they had seen good shots fired point
blank ut his breast and miss him square
E. He became known as the most OK
pert horse thief in tho region, and IN
Vulnerable exploits Of his are related III
Shasta and Tehama counties. On one
occasion he threw his pursuers OIL his
track, assumed a disguise, met the
sheriff's party, delighted them with his
songs and stories, put up with them at
Il little village inn, and during the night
escaped with three of the best horses
in the party, after having turned the
others loose in the woods and leaving
saucy and funny letter of thanks end
ing with an apt Latin quotation for the
sheriff, whose wrath was of such an
abiding sort that brief would have been
Jacks life-lease had he been overhaul
ed; in less than two minutes he then
were assuredly hauled over and dang
ling from an oak limb.
One of the most characteristic feats
of this fellow was performed at "a noun
tain ball in log cabin. Young people
had assembled from many miles dis
tant, some of them coming days
journey. The ball had hardly begun
when Il tall, black-haired, well-dressed,
handsome stranger appeared and ex-
cited much comment. A particularly
handsome young girl was taken out on
the floor by her partner, and suddenly
the stranger stepped up and with great
politeness requested tho gentleman to
resign the lady in his favor. He whis-
pered his name in the young mans
ear, paid compliment to the young
lady, took her for and led the dance.
Word went around that Sheet-Iron Jack
had come there to dance with all the
pretty girls; that he had several re-
volvers, never missed q shot, and prob
ably had friends hid within call. The
long and short of it was that the thirty
young men present were terrorized.
and, one after another, the brigand
danced with the prettiest maidens in
the room. Then he bowed to the ex-
cited assembly, stood in the doorway
second, said mockingly that it was a
pity the men were not as brave as the
ladies were handsome, and disappeared
in the darkness.-Net0Y York Commercial
44dvertiSer.
A Frenchman sent a circular to all

conceal bad teeth" three, because 1
wish to conceal the length of my

twenty-one, "because I was soldier;;''
sixty-tiye, ''because my wife likes it,

PITTSBURG, Feb. 23.-There is now hardly
any doubt that j. W. Gorsuch and Samuel
Fielden, the, anarchists, are streneruuSly
laboring to bring about demonstration by
the laborers of this vicinity. They
openly advocate revolution in their
harangues. Thomas A. Armstrong, OF
The Labor Tribune. who has opposed vic
lent measures, has sbeen warned in a latter
to modify his csnsures. He says he knows
that something unusual is going on among
the laboring classes, and believes the dis,
turbing element, is slowly gaining suprem-
acy. There is no doubt" he says, that
the workingmen are greatly wronged, and
they would rather die by violence than by
starvation. There will be- a conference of
the agitators on Sunday to agree upon pro-
gramme Of action. GorSuch and Fielden
have apparently gained much influence
among tho workingmen

departure of the Scots Grays from the capt.

tensity of feeling was manifested. Tn

multitudes that it was almost impossible for
the soldiers to force passage. As soon as
the guards came in sight the air was rent
with cheers, and long after they had passed
out Of view the enthusiasm continued
to find expression in repeated huzzas.
When they arrived at the bridge the
guards found the prince of Wales, accom-
panied by his daughter, waiting to bid them
Godspeed. The prince signaliz ed the event
by appearing in the uniform of the guards.
He addressed them, encouraging them tc
high endeavor, and expressing the hope that
the necessity for their absence from Eng
land might beiof brief duration. The royal
party remained while the guards embarked
upon q steamer to take them to Gravesend.
