To destroy scale-bugs on lvies, use, soapsuds. Wash each leaf carefully both sides in good, clean soapsuds, and you will find that, after persistent use (not once only, nor twice perhaps) for a few weeks, those pests will disappear. Do not put them into the wash water after washing, as some recommend, for the lint from the clothes will cling to the stems and leaves, so that it is a trouble to get it off, and beside, the vines are apt to become injured by hand ling, but take dish of water, small cloth, step-ladder, and go to work. It is a mistaken idea that ivies do not need sunshine. To be sure, they will grow when out of it, but place them where they can get the morning rays, if possible, and they will repay you for your kind ness by growth so luxuriant and vigorous that you will be amazed.

They were sitting under a tree at the evening hour, and the happy bride said, You are not afraid of the falling dew?" He had been thinking only of the sunset, but at these words he ut tered deep sigh. "The falling dew, 7" he muttered, "ah, my dear, if you only knew how afraid of it am you would pity me-" "Then let us return to the hotel at once," she cried. But still deeper sigh filled his manly breast. "Ah me, that's just the trouble. It is the falling due of that hotel bill that wrings my heart"

BURIED IN THE EARTH.-As a Kansas City lawyer was going to his office the other day he noticed red suspender lying on the top of some freshly caved earth. He stopped to pick the suspender up, but it stretched and refused to come, Digging down with his hand, he soon found the dead body of boy. Much alarmed, he began to dig with spade, and to his horror unearthed the bodies of two more, who had been buried alive by the caving in of an embankment on which they had been playing the night before.

Near the close Of the eighteenth cen.
tury was brilliant Towering time of
idyllic fancy. The most beautiful berg
cries in the world were invented. Itwas
the time of Boucher, of Vatican, and of
Sancre; but shepherdesses in silk petit
coats and in powdered perTuqueS were
met with elsewhere than on snuff boxes
and the tops of doors. Marie Antoi-
nette had brought with her from Austria
rural tastes; and, as a relaxation from the
WEAKNESS Of being queen, she some
times dreamed that she was shepherd
ess. Trianon seemed to her just the
very place to realize her idyllic vision.
One day, when she had assembled at her
rural home all the royal family and some
of her intimate female friends, she
plunged with her guests into the groves
Of Trianon to show them new wonders.
BY degrees the groves grew denser and
developed into small wood. The sand
ed alleys of the English garden disap-
peared, and the guests walked on moss
A brook, which was called river, and
which obeyed more natural impulse
than the gardeners hand, was seen run
ming through the meadow. The brook
was crossed by bridge, which had been
made very narrow to give the illusion OF
danger. In the fields which now came
into view there were some beautiful sheep
and beautiful cows. The horns of the
COWS were not gilt, but the sheep were
abundantly adorned with rose-colored
ribbons. Suddenly at the turning of a
road, hidden under hawthorn and sweet
bIiar, the guests found themselves in q
village. A small church rose in the midst
ofa small open space; the house OF
the priest was close at hand. Two OF
three cottages, humble satellites, en-
vironed it. Thereupon was revealed
to the gaze the house of the bailiff, with
dairy, and stable and small mill,
whose joyous click-clack blended with
the bleating of the lambs and the lowing
Of the cows. The queen could not con-
tain herself with delight when she an
nounced to the company that the king
was to be the bailiff of this charming vii
lage, that the Count d'Artois (afterward
Charles Ky was to be the miller, and that
she herself in the dairy was to look after
the making of the cheese. 1t scarcely
needs to be said that the dairy was OF
white marble, and that arrayed on stands
in it were the busts of celebrated shep-
herds. At the entrance of the village
no doubt to complete the illusion-a
small island had been created, called the
Island of Love. In the middle of the is

ment do not constitute q crime, the

Act 1878, sec. 268.


If the District Attorney should
insist upon going to trial upon an
Indictment which charged no public
ofense, I would not hesitate to ar
rest the proceedings end quash the
Indictment.


The question here is, whether the
Court will proceed with the trial
of this case, knowing that no judg-
ment can be pronounced against the
defendant upon any verdict which
the jury may find. Would such pro-
ceedings be of any advantage to
public justice? Would it IN any
wise tend to vindicate the majesty,
of the law to proceed with trial
knowing that no punishment can be
inflicted for the violation thereof? :?
Manifestly no public good can re-
suit from such trial. This is nos q
private action; it is a criminal cause
instituted and prosecuted for the
public good by the Territory.

1t is perhaps unfortunate that we have no law
in this Territory for the punishment Of libel as

business Of the court to expound the law, not to
enact 1t.


Touching the question as to ne suficiency Of
the Indictment in charging the crime as defined
by statute, the law declares that the publication
must be "willfully made" The Indictment
charges that it was ''malicieusIy done." think

Ordinary humanity, when re-
leased from the tolls of the day, is
prone to seek rest and relaxation.
The boys scorns all such effeminate
ideas. He is composed of but
three parts-legs, arms and yell,
and the yell is the biggest part of
him. His legs and arms have been
kept in irksome compulsory quie-
tude all day, and must now be ex-
ercised. His voice has been seeth-
ing and swelling in him for hours,
and must have vent.


AS soon as he is clear of the
school house step he stops and de-
liberately yells yell that is ear
splitting, but which has no more
object, meaning, or direction than
the midnight vociferation of mule,
and yet he appears at full run with
his arms flying about like the scin-
tillations of a pin wheel. He is no
respecter of persons and is utterly
indifferent as to whether he runs
down a smaller boy, spins an aged
citizen three times around or mash
es girls hat over her eyes in his
headlong career.

the houses as he rushes by in o

There is but one thing that has

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-More
than three months ago General NJ. G.
Butler, of South Carolina, introduced
in the Senate resolution ordering an
investigation of the charges which
were then so freely made respecting
the bargain which he had entered into
to obtain the votes of Senators Patter-
son and Conover, and, through them,
a seat in the Senate. At that time he
was, or at least professed to be, exceed
ingly anxious to have the resolution
passed, and he then declared that it
was wonderfully strange and wonder
fully unjust that Senator Cameron, of
Wisconsin, should object to its passage
without debate. Since then, however,
General Buffers ardor in the direction
indicated seems to have cooled consd
erably, and the resolution in gu estion is
still lying on the Clerks desk, neglect
ed and apparently forgotten. OF
course it would be gross violation Of
Senatorial etiquette for any one but
General Butler to call the matter up,
and as be does not seem to be at all
concerned about it, now that he is Sc.
cure in his seat, it is probable that it
will be heard of no more. If the in
vestigation is ever begun, however, it
might not be amiss for the Senate at
the same time to enquire into the
causes which led to the co lfrmation of
Northrup to be District Attorney of
South Carolina. In this connection it
may be stated that the Committee on
Privileges and Elections will shortly
report in favor of seating Mr. Corbin
in place of General Butler. AS the
Senate now stands, however, that is
with Conover and Patterson in favor
of the hero of Ham burg, the lawful
claimant cannot hope to receive his
due.
