TT HAS COME AGAIN.
The Sea Serpent Reported Cruising Off
Georges Shoals.

Boston, June 22.-The sea serpent has be-
come visible again. The evidence for his latest
appearance is of kind that will greatly
strengthen the faith Of his friends and equally
embarrass his enemies. The steamer Vene-
tian Of the Leyland line is nov lying at pier B
Hoosac tunnel docks, where she arrived this
morning, Sitting in his little cabin, COM
pletely enveloped in a cloud of strong tobacco
smoke, Chief Officer MUM, b8onzed, stout,
and strong as becomes seaiaring man and
Scotclrnan, showed a representative of the
Times rough sketch, and told him the follow
yesterday it was calm, with Slight haze
and smooth sea- During the day we wit
nessed the strongeot mirage that Captain
Trout or / ever saw on tho water. The
steamer Manitoba was eight or nine miles
south of us during the day and appeared TO our
view upside down. at times we saw the
whole vessel distinctly, while beneath her we
saw as distinct an image of her inverted, with
a clear space between the hulls. At times tho
two vessels would become a solid mass 100 feet
in height, with nothing else visible except tho
funnel and the tops OF spars, both above and
below the mass. About seven in the evening,
Captain Trout and myself were standing on
the saloon deck. j was looking through the
long telescope at the Manitoba, when Captain
Trout caught my arm and asked what was that
in the water. / brought the telescope to bear,
and could see about thirty feet OIL don't
OF darker than mud, lying in the water about
500 feet away on the port side. 1t was not
straight, but lay in an undu!ating line and
seemed to be enc foot in width across the back.
1t appeared to be going in southerly direc-
ton, head away from the chip, and moving
slowly.
Captain front ran for his binoculars, as it
was difficult to keep the long telescope fixed
Oh the object but just as I've got the binoculars
to bear, the thing disappeared off the port
quarter. We watched, but could not see 1t
again. What it was, don't know. 1t was

ROCKY MOUNTAIN LoCUsTs.
The Enormous Damage Done by tile Insects
in the Northwes.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, juno 15.--Professor Otto
Lugger, the entomologist of the state unworthy,
has been up in the Ottertall locust region, and
has brought back interesting reports of his OBJ
seryatons there. 1t appears that the condition
OF things up there is very much worse than Is
generally supposed. The region infested by
the locusts consists of some 100 square miles,
and Professor Lugger states that he found the
locuSts averaging twelve to the square inch
They are the genuine Rocky Mountain locusts
that have done so much damage i'll these north
western regions in the past Their actions are
not, however, after the ordinary pattern of the
conduct of these insects, and so afford chance
for much interesting study. They have made
this region their feeding ground for four years
In each year they have done much damage,
but never so much as they are doing now, for
the reason that they are swarming in so much
greater numbers.
The inhabitants fear that if the report got
out that the grasshoppers We're doing damage
again that it would be a great injury to the
whole region, The professor thinks this course
has resulted to their detriment. If some vigor-
Gus action had been taken at the start, tho To-
Gusts might have been eXterminated. Now it
will be great fight.
A great deal of daI1age has already been
done and good deal more must be done in the
future. Twelve insects to the square inch
means enough to destroy about all the vegeta-
ton that can grow in one season. IN fact, there
are parts of the country where every trace of
vegetation has been eaten to the ground. This
entails much suffering already and gives
promise Of SO much more that the farmers in
many instances are moving out of the country.
Prof. Lugger came back for help. Governor
McGill gave him four car loads Of materials,
and thus equipped the professor has gone back
to fight the enemy. The main weapon is
sheet or canvas, Is feet wide, stretched over a
frame. There is trough at the upper edge of
this which is kept filed with petroleum. This
is allowed to run down gradually over the can
vas. Thacanvas is drawn along over the fields,
and the Ioousts, flying up against it come in con-
tact with the petroleum-saturated canvas A
single touch is enough to kill them.
This method Of warfare against the insects has
been found to be very effective, but when such
large areas arc infested it is, of course, pret-
ty big undertaking TO attempt to exterminate
in that way.

III ihA'iSs
From the Baltimore American.

The statement is made that an old, wornout
Mississippi plantation was bought for song by q
northern man, and that in two years he made it
pay S1000l in strawberries alone. The inference Is
that brain is the thing to pow into the southern
soil" While this true of the south, it is equally
true of all soils is the man behind the farmwho
makes or mars it, and this fact cannot DO confined
to any section where agriculture has its many vic
TINS and few successful followers The British farmer
has brains, but free trade has crippled him. as well
as foreign competition. The west and the Railways
have hurt some forms of eastern agriculture. Many
a northern man has regretted investing in southern
plantations. Some have prospered. Weremember
notable instance of this. Just after the war
O confederate general, who practieed law
with some success, sold his farm at a good
price to yankee soldier" The farm was not
naturally rich, and the general who had sunk
much money on It, parted from il gleeiully. He
came to town and told his friends with chuckle Of
triumph, that he had gotten even with one yam
kee and proposed to lesurely belol2 that unhap-
ny man starye to death" The yankee was hard
worker himself and had an industrious family. The
farm was nursed we'll manured, diligently cuiti-
waited and pieuted fer q variety CT crops. Instead
of starving the yankee grew rich, and the ex-con
tcderate general lived long enough to know that
the farm he had sold as good for nothing was one
Of the most valuable and productive In the state.
Brain is the thing to plough into the soils of oil
sections Intelligence must be backed by economy,
thrift industry, and an adoption Of means to ends
1t very often happens that men who succeed in mer-
chandising prosper at farming, when applying their
executive talents TO the new pursuit Some men
mako money naturally at anything they undertake,
because they are equipped for success. Some men
fall at everything, because they either do
not observe and carry out Indispensable rules for
prosperity
The American farmer has Che best market for all
he can raise at home. This is specially true where
population is great and manufactures thriving.
With brains and industry, there is little doubt OF
success in agriculture, and this is true generally
all sections. There welltodo farmers north and
SOUTH and there plenty who growl at their lot.

MRS. PARSONS LOCKED UP.
The Widow of tho Executed Anarchist
Agein Behind the Bars.


Agein Behind the Bars.
From the Chicago Herald,
Mrs. Lucy e. Parsonswa arrested last even
ing and once moro was locked behind the bars
at the Armory police station. 1t was about
1880 o'clock when Mrs Parsons, accompanied
by John Schneider, appeared on Clark street,
near Monroe, in buggy drawn by u bay horse,
and bearing on its sides placafds reading: Let
tho voice OF the people be heard" and my
silence is moro terrible than speech" a dense
crowd soon gathered, when the word spread
that Mrs. Parsons was in buggy, and the
progress of tho vehicle toward Madison was
very slow. Mrs. Parsons stood up and began
scattering handbils, advertising her late nus
bands book on anarchy. Mt Madison street
Officer Flayin appeared on the scene and took
Mrs Parsons and her escort TO the Central sta
ton, where they we're booked for violating the
ordinance prohibiting the distribution of hand
bills on the street. Schneider. who was one Of
Parsons's intimate friends, and was foremost
in the plan to keep the editor in hiding, went
with the Ofiicepquietly enough, but when Mrs.
Parsons was brought before Desk Sergeant
Spencer there was a storm.
''You blue-coatcd murderer" she screamed,
"the souls Of my husband and his companions
will creep from their graves to haunt you, your
children and your children's Childreni"
The Infatuated woman was then taken be-
fore Chief Hubbard, and from his Office TO that
OF Inspector Bonfield. Here she broke out
again into torrent OF inyectiye, which was
only ended when tho chief Of detectives or
dcred that she be taken away. Then Mrs
Parsons broke down. and said: Before you
lock me up I wish to tell you that l have two
small children at home.'
"You should have thought Of that before"
said Bonfeld, and Mrs, Parsons and her escort
were placed IN the wagon and taken TO the
armory. The ofiensc for which thoy are ar
rested Is not very serious one, and is punish
able by a 50 fine. Mrs. ParEons got into tho
same kind Of a scrape once before, and Justice
Lyon allowed her TO 90 with suspended fne
which she will nov probably have TO pay.

FARMS AND FARMERS
Short Talks With Men Who Guide
the PloW.
Many Questions About the Farm, Answered
by Dr.. W. L. Jones, Formerly of
the Southern Cultivator.
Keep the Surface Level.

The summer solstice is at hand the sun is
almost vertical above us, and is pouring down
his heat with great power. The hot soil is
giving up its moisture to the heated air with
great rapidity, and crops are liable to suffer
from an insufficient supply of water. How
shall we prevent it? First by keeping the
surface as level and flat as possible. Do not
bed up the land in cultivating the crop.
Ridged land presents much more surface to
the air than fiat land. A straight line is the
shortest distance between two points; curved
line between the same points will be longer.
With tape line. drawn tight, measure the
distance between two rows several yards
apart; then measure the distance between
them by having the line drawn slack and
hitting the inequalities of ridges and hollows,
and see the difference. Have flat running
plows, therefore, that skim the surface thor
oughly, but throw little dirt. If you run three
burrows in row, good plan is to run the
center or middle one first and the siding
burrows afterwards. AT the last blowing it
would be well to run harrow, adapted to
width of row, and leave the surface entirely
fat. Much of the washing OF our bare cotton
fields during tho winter is due to the land
being left ridged at the last working of the
crop. Both the preservation of moisture and
of the soil itself demand fiat cultivation, par
scularly on rolling lands.
Do not overlook the importance of having
an abundant supply of forage for the winter
and spring Early amber cane and peas may
still be planted. The first can be fed green in
autumn and well into winter; the second can
be cured for later use. Rich lots from which
grain has been taken may be used for either of
these crops. But in running lands SO heavily
II ought to be helped with manure for every
crop. Quick-acting fertilizers are best for
these crops, as they will now have compare
lively little time in which to grow. Ammo
MATED fertilizers or mixture of phosphate
and cotton-seed meal viii be good for the
amber cane; q mixture of phosphate and
kainit will be better for peas. Drilled or fodder
corn may also be sown still on rich land or in
bottoms. Nothing will yield more, and though
its quality is not the very best, it is good, and
In combination with food rich in albuminoids-
like peas-makes an excellent ration for horses
and mules; in combination with cotton-seed
meal it will furnish admirable food for cows
