Uncle Toms
Chat.
Uncle Tom Acts Reporter.

Your Uncle Tom wants to turn
reporter. Uncle Cal Tate is in
trouble. He sold some perfume
few days ago to some young
ladies on short credit and Uncle
Jack Sloan has found it out and
wants Cal to let him collect it,
but Cal absolutely refuses for he
is jealous of Jack. They are
both getting rather tisty of late
and John don't want Cal to let
Jack collect the debt for he says
old Jack will go so often after
the money he would kill u good
horse. Now, | wouldn't have
said anything about this perfume
and debt business but | believe
they are at the bottom of an in
suit being thrown in the face of
your Uncle Tom which is causing
some of the young ladies to call
him an old bachelor. People
may call me one of Jno. Morgan's
horse thieves or one of Forests
cut Threats, but cant stand be-
ing called Il bachelor by a lot of
pretty girls; it's an insult, in
fact one of Mrs. Grundy's CORE
spondents limited as much. OF
course there are no old maids,
they are all married and have
families but Gal Tate and Jack
Sloan needn't think | wont tell
the girls the truth. Then the
idea of Rus Brown rearing back
in the buggy until he nearly
broke the back of the seat laugh
ing. 1t was u little too much ;
Fve waited for some apologies to
be made but none have been
forthcoming and | guess won't be.
| understand Cal and Jack are
regular church goers now and
try to 20 home with widow; |
never knew this until Jack told
me. You see they are sorter at
outs and | mean to make them
fight if | can, and Rus Brown
had better not laugh too much or
l'll tell something on him. He
seems to be agglng things up; he
is a sly old fox and his wife had
better watch him. He tried tc
sorter palm me off as q bachelor
once to u widow lady but | would
not let him. OF course l like
women, am no woman hater ant
bachelors are. Now watch Ca
and Jack at the picnic on the 14tl
inst. if you please and see if they
don't try to be the whole "it."

WMN tie fleet anchored In
E9VeN Topsail Inlet, Stede
Bonnet, VINO had not been informed OF
the intentions of the pirate, was
good deal puzzled. Since joining Black
boards fleet in the vessel which came
up from Belize, Bonnet had considered
himself very shabbily treated and his
reasons for that opinion were not bad.
During the engagements off Charles
Town his services had not been re-
quired and his opinion had not been
consulted, Blackboard having no use
for the one and no respect for the
other. The pirate captain had taken a
fancy to Ben Greenway while his con-
tempt for the Scotchmans master in
creased day by day; and it was for this
reason that Greenway had been Ia en-
on board the flagship, while Bonnet
remained on one Of the smaller vessels.
Bonnet was In discontinued and
somewhat sulky mood, but when Black
boards full plans were made known 10
him and he found that he might again
resume command of his own vessel the
Revenge, If he chose to do so, his eyes
began to sparkle once more,
Ben Greenway soon resumed his for
mer position with Bonnet, for it did
not take Blackboard very long to settle
up his affairs, and in very short time
he became tired Of the work of CONVEX
sion; or, to speak more correctly. Of
the bore of talking about it. Bonnet
was glad to- have the Scotchman back
again, although he never ceased to de-
clare his desire to get rid of this faith
full friend and helper; for, when the
Revenge again came into his hands
there we're many things to be done, and
few people to help him do it.

wake of that gallant vessel, the Royal
James, commanded by Capt Thomas.
The men looked at each other, but
did not say much. They were all
pirates, although few of them had reg
ularly started out on piratical career,
and there was nothing new to them in
this sort of piratical dishonor. So
whenever Stede Bonnet chose to run
up the jolly Roger, he might do 1t fol-

Poor Ben Greenway sat apart, his

PLANT LICE IN ORCHARDS.
and Ordinary Sprays Have Lit
tie Effect on Them.

Although plant lice probably often
occur in orchards, they are very sell
dom found in such numbers as to be
really troublesome or destructive A
noted exception was the past season
in New York state, probably on &C
count of the unusual weather condi-
tons, which seem to have prevented
the usual development of their nat
ural enemies, the lady beetles. There
are three kinds Of plant lice that may
occur on apple trees, namely, Fitch's
apple aphis, the Rosy apple aphis and
the Apple Leaf aphis. The last is the
only one that lives on the apple all
the year round and is doubtless re-
sponsible for the remarkable amount
of damage done in western New York
during the past season.
AS these insects feed somewhat after
the manner of a mosquito, by sucking
up the internal juices of the plant
through a long threadlike bill, there
fore the ordinary poison sprays, such
as bordeaux mixture or paris green,
have little or no effect on them. They
should rather be smothered and
drowned in emulsions of kerosene,
whale oil soap or tobacco. A spraying
of this kind should be extremely thor
ough, as the insects are not killed I'M
less hit with the spray, and they re-
produce very rapidly indeed.
