Original stanza by Father Ryan

Richmond State.
The following lines were written in
1888 and sent to lady friend in Rich
mond by the late Father Ryan, poet
priest of the South, while he was on a
visit to this city. They were never be-
fore published and have now added in
terest as relic of a singularly-gifted
scholar and Christian too early gone to
his reward:
In the eclipses of your soul
Ah me: then shadows fall
On You and me, and ALL
wonder where the regions whence they roll.
And when you cry,
oh God give more OF rest and less of Night;
And when you sigh,
Oh! Christ! give less of dark and more of
Light
Then read these lines Of mine
And may my blessing shine
And brighten every day
That meets you on your way.

Animal Attachments.

"Furpg isrit Il said the keeper of
the Baltimore Zoo to a Herald reporter,
show different kinds Of animals and
birds will become attached to each other
when Gagged up together or confined in
adjoining compartments! Now, there's
that ring tailed monkey, for instance,
he has been making love to the BOBBY
owl. The latter sits blinking in the
next cage, and the poll parrot and the
tomcat in that cage over there are as inti-
mate as two burglars planning to crack .
safe.
"The funniest thing in the whole lot,
however, is the way that snake in the
cage over here crawls through the wire
snd twists itself around the white
monkeys tail. Talk about a monkey
and parrot time, the antics Of that
monkey aud snake lay ak over anything
in that line. They play the mischief
sometimes, too. The other day while
performing one of their double.trapeze
acts the snake must have bitten the
monkey. for the latter got mad and
swung himself around with the rapidity
OF roulette bali and dashed through
4
into the next cage. He kept whirling
the snake about, knocked down three
doves in the pigeon loft, broke the glass
out Of the east window, bursted through
the wire netting and started on dead
run for Woodbury.. Before they got to
the edge Of the woods the monkey dart
ed up q tree. The monkey is up the
tree yet, but he is minus his tail The
snake didn't want to follow the animal
np the tree and twisted itself around the
base Of the tree, while the monkey made
a desperate plunge and parted with his
caudal appendage.
'sThe snake then crawled back to the
Zoo and entered its cage and hung the
monkeys tail up on the imitation tree
stump and went TO Sleep"

Farm and Garden Notes.

Don't fail to have a good garden.
Moss in meadows means wet, poor soil
underneath.
If there is spare time put the gates and
fences in order.
A good way to distinguish mushrooms
is to sprinkle salt on the spongy or under
side. II it turns yellow, the specimen is
poisonous; if black, it is wholesome.
The cultivation Of the potato crop
cannot begin too early or be too thorough.
The period of growth is short, but we
ought to give them every possible chance
while growing.
A good force-pump with which the
orchardist may apply insecticides early
in the season and thus prevent loss from
insects, is one Of the requisites of the re.
muneative fruit farm.
It is the lively, snowy tree crickets
that cut off leaves, stems and blossoms
of the grape, girdle the stems Of rssp-
berries and cause twig blight in apple,
ounce and other fruit trees.
A farmers wife tells the Farm and
Home that if butter makers will put their
cream through thin linen bag JUST be-
fore churning it, they will no. be both
cred with white specks in the butter.
A New York farmer states that he
used only coal gas tar to prevent the
rayages of the potato beetle. He puts
gallon of tar in a tub, over which he
pours boiling water. which is allowed to
settle and cool. This is sprinkled, over
the vines with an ordinary sprinkler. A
gallon of tar, costing seyenty-fiye cents,
sufices for several acres of potatoes.
There is greater demand for ever
green corn than for any other. It is
late, and, therefore, preferred for can
ming. 1t is very large and sweet, and,
therefore, in demand for soiling and en-
silage. Being late and large, it is diff.
cult to cure the seed without fire heat,
which should always be given, to have it
safe from freezing when cold weather

The Destructive Teredo.

Those who have watched the vessels
hauled out on the marine railway and
noticed the pieces OF planking taken
from them, will have seen that some Of
them are completely hoheycombed. This
is caused BY the fayages Of the teredo, or
ship or pile worm, one Of the greatest
pests in Southern waters. The works
on this subject say:
"The shell ia thick, short and globu.
laf, widely waived, open in front and be-
hind, lodged at the larger or inner ex-
tremity of q cylindrical tube, partly or
entirely lined with calcareots matter.
and often open at both ends, The valves
are reduced 10 mere appendages at the
foot; in the centre Of their circular open
ing this organ is protruded, the whole
forming very effectual boring appara-
tus, which is indicated by their peculiar
shape, strength, arrangement Of the val
yular ridges, and greet size Of the adj
Quoted muscle. The animal is elonga-
ted and worm like, the length being due
chiefly to the prolongation backward of
each respiratory tube, the siphons Of
which are provided with two calcareous
triangular, dattened plates, the palettes
Of which are always turned to the exter-
nal aperture. They attack wood i'm
mersed in water, boring in the direction
of the grain, and only turning aside
when q hard knot or q companion ia
struck, the presence Of the latter being
detected by the sense OF hearing. The
dust OF the rasped wood is introduced by
the cavity into the mouth BY the foot
and swallowed, being usually found fill
ing the long intestine. +"
In the construction of the wharyes in
this harhor, palmetto piling brought
from the small islands on the Florida
coast have been found to Withstand the
rayages of the teredo better than any
other material. The cost OF replacing
the piling destroyed by this marine nui-
sance in these waters will amount to
thousands Of dollars annually, and yes-
sells not coppered or having their bot
toms sheathed with metal have TO be
hauled out every three months for
repairs. Some years ago brig arrived
here from an English port, and lay at an
chor in the stream for several weeks
during the summer. The craft was not
coppered, and on returning to her home
port was hauled out, when il was dis.
covered that the bottom had been COM
plately honeycombed by the teredo, and
it had to be replaced by new planking.

Hillsboro recorder., 1888-07-19

a small quantity Of superphosphate may
be dropped By the side Of each hill, and
if the soil is free from stones the cover
ing may be done BY the use Of tho
plough.
Ashes are recommended very highly by
some in the planting of potatoes, but we
are compelled tosay that our experience
has not encouraged their use, but this
may have been because of some peculiar
ity of the soil. As soon as up the potato
crop should be hoed and kept clean Of
weeds or grass; there is nothing that
will affect the growth Of the tubers more
than thick growth of weeds in the
rows. Clean culture is always to be rec
ommended, but with potatoes it seems
TO be an absolute necessity. --Ne1 FORK

Rats in China.

A plague of rats is reported in China,
which recalls the German legend Of the
rats Of Hamelin. Certain postal routes
have had to be changed in Outer Mongo-
liza on account Of the honey.combing OF
the whole country by myriads of rats,
who have burrowed and eaten up the
pasturage SO extensively that the supply
OF food for camels and horses is greatly
diminished, and the burrows are danger
Gus to all mounted travellers and couriers.
The prize offered by the Australian Gov
eminent for Tiddance of the rabbits
which infest that country may afford a
suggestion to the authorities in China to
offer inducements which N. Pasteur OF
some unknown Wilmington may find
advantageous enough 10 undertake the
task of Kidding the country of these
yermin. .-..

4 POST. T.0FFICE ROBBERY.
How the Thieves Managed to Get

up into Minnesota TO investigate rob
berry. The postmaster was d well-to-do
German merchant, whose greatest ambi-
tion is to be postmaster. He has o son,

tered the building and the safe was
opened and robbed. When / got on the

thought OF The administration, but we
got TO business finally. He showed mo
how the burglars got into the building

Planting Potatoes.

The potato Is ono Of the important
crops OF the farm, and one which under
ordinarily favorable circumstances can
be grown with as little trouble az the
average u crops. Within the past few
year., or since the advent of the Colorado
beetle, cultivation has been attended
with more trouble because OF the extra
labor required 20 destroy the beetles or
their larye. The last season was an un-
favorsble season because Of a blight that
largely affected The crop, reducing il in
the aggregate amount very much. With
proper care potatoes can be grown upon
almost any coil that is reasonably dry,
and that Is possessed Of fair fertility, al.
though sandy loan is usually prefer.
able. This vegetable will usually sue.
cced fully as well aud probably better
upon q soil that has been devoted 10 pas.
turage for some time. It seems 10 thrive
best when obtaining a share Of It's
nourishment from an old scd, and another
important consideration Is that with such
conditions the tubcrs are usually cleaner
and smoother than when grown upon
old land o. that has been under previous
cultivation for little time.
Potatoes will seldom do well II planted
upon the same soil for q succession Of
years; the tendency Is 20 roughness ard
scabbiness. The soil, as before sug
geyted, should be fairly fertile, and ans
supposed deficiency should be provided
for By an application upon the surface
after pioughing. which should be 20 q
depth Of six Or eight inches, and then
thoroughly incorporated with the soil b.
means Of narrowing. UBe important
point 70 be secured, Is q light soil. a
the potato will seldom thrive In one that
il compact and hard. II this condition
cannot be secured by the usual tillage oi
the soil, il should be provided for bj
other means, and one Of the best is 4
use some coarse strawy manure placed
in The funow with the seed.
After thg surface d made mellow b.
sufficient narrowing. the field should b
funoged 20 mark the rows, and thes,
furrows should be made 10 q goot
depth, a. We believe, all things con
sidered, Tat IL is better 10 plant 10
considerable depth. We have consider
able faith in home manure for potatoes
having always secured good and salts

Il has been stfegn in the fufrow and thi
