bicycle than wagon. Men will buy
shot guns and pay cash for them
when they have to give their notes in
payment for utensils which they must
have to earn their living. They pay
the retailer hundred per cent. profit
on beer without a protest and then
kick on 10 or 20 per cent. the grocer
or dry goods dealer asks. Billiards at
% cents a game does not seem very
high to them, but bread tickets
thirteen for dollar make them grunt.

Yesterday was a lively one in political
circles. Democratic candidates were en-
deavorina TO get in their final blows
which would make them the nominees at
to-day's primary. and Republicans were
holding street corner "confabs" as to
the ACCESSIBILITY Of putting UP q ticket.
A paper was circulated among the
candidates for the Councils on the
Democratic tickle: |denouncing rs untrue
certain statements which ave appeared
in print. Here is the paper:
Norfolk Va, April 27th. 1886.
To the Public
Among the many unfounded and I'M
1ustiiable attacks made upon us since we
became the candidates of the Democratic
party for the City Council, the following,
which appears in yesterdays Pilot,
seems. from Its directness of charge. to
ZION referred to from the Pilot Is as fol-
lows. namely
Councilmen pledging them to do things
you cannot approve If this is not true
let them publish the paper.
This is not only untrue but without the
slightest foundation. With the single ex-
ception or what was necessary to qualify
foui, and five OF chapter al of the Acts
OF the General Assembly of Virginia.

been asked to sign none. We have
pledged ourselves TO nothing and have
not been asked TO pledge ourselves to

about us TO the sense of justice and right

WE SHRIMP.
A Lively Little Creature. q scavenger ana
Glutton

GlutSon.
The shrimp Is scavenger. 1t will eat !
almost anything. 1t is a greedy creature. |
1t may often be seen in aquarium tanks to |
seize pieoe Of food Weighing more than |
itself. II this scrap should be lying on |
the bottom, the shrimp with Its FIRST effort |
upon swooping down upon 1t might raise |
1t clear and then DO compelled to drop 1t,
or to sink with it again to tho bottom,
there to attack it pieoemeal. Tho shrimp
is often put In aquarium tanks to help
keep them clean. It seeks out and eats
neglected scraps and little bits OF food put
in for other marine animals, but which
tho others may have missed, and which
may have settled down in orevicos or other
by places. But while the shrimp is thus
useful as scaveDger 1t Is necessary at
feeding time to see that 1t does not get
also the food intended for the other ami
mails. The shrimp is exceedingly quick
in movement, and 1t may dart down and
seize the food out of tho grip of an animal
much larger than itself, and 1t would bo
equally ready to tako food from the help
less sea anemone or the fighting crab. y
tiny shrimp would not for n moment hest
| tate to feed upon dend fish held in the
| grasp of o lobster, trusting to its agility to
| escape if the lobster should resent the in
| trusion.
/
| hold it's own remarkably we'll for one OF
its size life is by no means all plain sailing
| for it. There are other creatures of the
| sea that are quite as quick and quite as
| merciless, and that snap up tho shrimp
whenever they get a chance. Here may
| be n dead menhaden lying on the bottom,
with 500 shrimps at work upon 1t, pulling
and hauling. One shrimp may get an OK
ira big piece, only to be attacked by three
or four other shrimps that leave the men
baden and fight with the shrimp that has
the fragment for the possession of that.
The water is alive with shrimps about the
dead fish.
Along comes a big weakflsh or q striped
bass. The weakflsh may see tho shrimps
| feeding from distance OF 10 or ~ feet
away II the wealsfish ever laughs, 1t prob
ably laughs on an occasion like this. Ii
may approach along the bottom, or 1t may
, dart down obliquolJ and dash through The
mass of shrimps with open mouth sweep
ing away n dozen Of them and dispensing
: the rest The dispersal, however, is likely
to be but temporary. Tho weakflsh is no
{ apt to return to this particular quarry. L
, seems to regard the meeting with TIN
/ | shrimps around the menhaden as only al
incident of its days meandering, and i
goes its way and the shrimps return t.
their prey.
But it might be that little school q
bass comes along, four or five or half
dozen of them, and these might follow u
the first dash by pursuing the shrimps VI
til II they had not annihilated them, the
had effcctually dispersed them.-New Yor

Grow Eosca This Way.

Roses must have rather heavy soil.
Mako up your compost Of loam having
considerable clay in It, and some old, thor
ouglly rottcd COW manure. Drain tho pot
well. for the roses will not thrive with
stagnant water at its roots. In potting
your plant 10 sure to have the soil firmly
packed h'uut the roots. A loosely pottcd
rose will not grow until the soil becomes
compact, and often Is will die before this
takes place. DO rot use large pots for
young plants. 4 or 6 inch pot Is quito
largo enough for year old plant. AS tho
roots I'll tho soil shift to pots of larger
size, being careful not to injure young and
tender roots in doing 1t.
Cleanliness is of great Importance In
rose culture If neglected, plants will
soon become infested with aphis, and this
insect, If unmolcsted, will soon ruin a
plant The remedy for this pest Is fumi-

cation of an infusion of sulpho tobacco
