During the morning an effort was
made 10 organize the citizens to resist
the country volunteers that Governor
Tillman had called for Mayor Dargan
and other prominent citizens addressed
the men and advised them not TO make
any such demonstration, but to remain
perfectly quiet, as the understanding
was that Governor Tillman, upon the
advice Of General Farley, would do
nothing TO excite the people here, and
that the military would, under no cir
cumstances, be allowed 10 come here.
General Farley was of the opinion that
there was absolutely no occasion for the
bringing of the military.
The people here did not at all like the
idea OF having the telegraph Office put
under censorship At Columbia on their
account. With all Of the posse back in
the city, all of the constables out of the

would be prepared in the face of real

Young man, deeply enamored of one of
the members, was prevailed upon to
fall into the blanket from the top of
barn.
The life-savers gathered one after
noon, attired in becoming uniform,
and about twelve gathered around the
blanket and took firm grip. Then
the accommodating youth, for loves
sweet sake, climbed up on the roof of
the building, made ready, and jumped!
Each girl was gazing upward, and at
the terrible sight was so shocked that,
without thinking, twenty-four hands
went up to as many eyes to shut out
the view.
The brave young man is still con-
fined to his room, but his engagement
is announced, and his lawyer is en-
deavoring to collect his accident in
surance. At the last meeting of the
Upton Debating society it was pro-
posed to bring up the question:
whether it pays to be modern hero"
but as all the men having seen the
treatment accorded the invalid wished
to speak in the affirmative, the ques-
ton was dropped. The sad thing
about it is that all the youths are now

height, while the corps has dissolved

BULRUSH CATERPILLAR.
A Strange Entity Which May Be
Plant OR Animal.
Traveller from New Zealand Brings to
Chicago q Creature Whose Stem Is An
imal and Whose Head Is a Veg
etating Process.

Howard B. Gross. of Chicago, who
has recently returned from New Zea-
land, brought with him a specimen of
what is known as the bulrush caterpil-
lar in everyday parlance, but the sci
entific name of which is Hepialus
Virescens. This singular plant or ami
NAL, whichever it may be, is a puzzle
to scientists, who are unable to place
it in either vegetable or animal king
dom. In New Zealand it is called
"aweto" and the scientific name of the
fungus growth on the caterpillar is
Cordiceps Robertii. This combination
of plant and animal is probably the
most remarkable known, as the plant
kills and takes possession of the ami
NAL. The animal is the foundation
from which it rears it's stem and is the
only source from which it derives it's
support. 1t certainly forms most
surprising link between the animal
and vegetable kingdom.
The aweto is chiefly found at the
root of the rata (metrosideres robusta).
The plant in every instance exactly
fills the body of the caterpillar. In the
finest specimens it attains the length
of three and one-half inches, and the
stem which terminates from this met
amorphosed body is from six to ten
inches high; its apex, when in a state
of qualification, resembles the club
headed bulrush in miniature. There

SPARROWS ON A SPREE.
An Ingenious Planter Saved His CottoI
by Getting the Birds Dead Drunk.

An Ingenious Planter Saved His Cotton
by Getting the Birds Dead Drunk.
The English sparrows have proved a
nuisance in the cotton country, for as
soon as the pods open they pick out
the cotton and carry it off, and some
planters have lost, as they claim, hun
dreds of pounds in this way. There is
one man, however, on the Mississippi
that has not lost much, says the St.
Louis Chronicle. When he found the
sparrows were committing depreda-
tions he procured quantity of wheat,
soaked it in sweetened whisky, and
strewed it along the rows. The SPAR
rows found it and thought they had a
picnic.
So they had, but in fifteen or twenty
minutes were the tipsiest lot of English
sparrows ever seen on the face of this
earth. They rolled about on the
ground, falling on their backs and sides
and kicking their heels into the air
like a parcel of drunkards, all the
while uttering the most comical
squeaks. They did not have long to
squeak, however, for the boys gath
cred them up and threw them into
bags. The first day they gathered two
bushels of drunken sparrows. Three
or four days later the experiment was
repeated with almost equal success,
and from time to time since. They
made excellent potpie, but the surviv-
ors have evidently come to regard the
plantation as hoodooed, for now very
few come about it.

Experiments with Cholera Germs.

Mrs. S. G. FARMLAND has lately
placed on record certain experiments
of foreign Investigators on the vitality
of the cholera germ in relation to asso-
citation with different articles of diet,
which are extremely interesting. 1t
seems that the germs survive for five
days when placed on ordinary salad
leaves covered and kept at the temper
allure of a room. On cooked caulifiow-
ers they survived for ten days, but on
sliced strawberries they lived for TWEEN
ty-four hours only; juicy and sour
cherries disposed of the germs in three
hours, the acid apparently killing
them quickly. By 8 per cent. infu-
sion of black China tea the germs were
killed in twenty-four hours, a 4 per
cent. infusion destroying them in sixty
minutes. Pilsener and lager beer is
fatal to the germs in three hours, and
IN white wine the germs do not sur
xive more than five minutes, nor longer
than twenty minutes in red wine.

are no leaves; solitary stem COM
prises the entire plant, and if any acct
dent breaks it off second arises from
the same spot. The body is found
buried and the greater portion of the
stalk as we'll.
When the plant has attained it's ma
turity it soon dies away. These curl
GUS plants, when fresh, have the flavor
of nut. The natives eat them and
likewise use them when burnt as col
oring matter for their tatooing, rub
bling the powder into the wounds, in
which state it has a strong animal
smell. When newly dug up the sub
stance of the caterpillar is soft, and
being divided longitudinally, the in
testine channel is distinctly seen.
Most specimens possess the legs en-
tire, with the horny part of the head,
the mandibles, and claws. The vege-
tating process invariably proceeds
from the nape of the neck, from which
it may be inferred that the insect, in
crawling to the place where it inhumes
itself prior to It's metamorphos1s,
whilst burrowing in the vegetable soil,
gets some of the minute seeds of this
fungus between the scales of it's neck,
from which, in its sickening state, it
is unable to free itself, and, conse-
quently, being nourished by the
warmth and moisture of the insects
body, then lying in a motionless state,
they vegetate, and not only impede
progress of change into the chrysalis,
but likewise occasion the death of the
insect. That this negotiating process
thus commences during the lifetime of
the insect appears certain from the
fact of the caterpillar, when converted
into plant, always preserving it's per-
feet form. In no one instance has de-
composition appeared to have COM
menced or the skin to have contracted
or expanded beyond it's natural size.

CURED BY A FALL.
A Lady Freed from Her 'Intirmities by an
Accidents.

Accident.
One of the most remarkable cures
ever known in Maine occurred not long
ago in Portland, says the Lewiston
Journal. Three or four years ago a
lady in that city was afflicted with
what was supposed to be sciatic rheu-
matism. She lost the use of one foot
and ankle, then of the arm on that
side. Instead of growing better the
disease continually increased until the
whole side of her body was practically
helpless The doctors were not agreed,
some calling it rheumatism, others
paralysis, fall received a few years
before being by several supposed to be
the cause. But all treatment was I'M
availing. The disease, whatever it
was, continued it's slow but dreadful
progress until the lady was entirely
helpless, unable to move hand or foot.
1t was at this time that the miracle oc-
Cured. One day during the tempo
rary absence of her attendant in an
other room the invalid slipped from
her chair, and, being unable to support
herself, fell to the floor.
The family were much frightened,
but were treasured on finding that no
serious harm had been done; but
the wonder came a day or two later
when the helpless invalid began to as
tonish her friends by moving her hands
and doing things she had been unable
to accomplish for months. The recov-
cry was as steady but much more rapid
than the decline, until now she is fully
restored to her old-time health and
skill. Whether the fall Jared from the
brain clot of blood that was holding
her in prison or what the cause, it is
her from her infrmities.

THE quickest way to treat burn or
scald is to cover it with carron oil and
flour and bandage with linen. In case
of prostration from either accident ad-
minister a mild stimulant.
WHEN delicate person is fatigued
and has no appetite sponging the body
with bathing whisky, diluted alcohol
or milk will nourish the system and
produce rest ~ refreshing sleep.
A BUG in the ear may be drowned out
with little warm water. Apply with
a sponge or syringe, and after each in
lection incline the head with jerk so as
to dislodge the contents of the cavity.
