A Jmqav Joke. A case came before a Gettiuui Judge iii Chicago, in which a young taan pleaded the minor's acL The Jude wouldn't take the young man's oath as to his age, and even when he brought family Bible the old follow scowled, and said lie didn't believe the Bible nor any thing iu it. t Ha,' he said, 'youdiuks pekausdot pook Bays Methusala v8 a dousaud years olt dot 1 beliefs him !' 'Uut,youi honor.'pleaded lawyer I toy tic, we have a man here who lived on the same street and in the same bouse with my client, and he will swear that the young man is only niueleeu years old. The wit ness remembers the very night he was born, He went for the doctor, your honor, aud he was born just nineteen years ago.' Xo, Mr. Hoyue ; I gives my judgment against dot young man. I can't take any man's evidence on a ding vot has happened nineteen years ago. Uf he swear dat dot young titans vas porn las wwk den I be liefs him 2 PiiOViNo an Alibi. The followiug took place iu an attempt to prove au alibi : Attorney !$. 'You say that Ellis plowed for you all day on the 29th of November ?' "Witness (referring to his book) 'Yes.' S. 'What did he do on the 30th. W. 'Ho chopped wood.' S. On the 31st V W. - 'That was, Sunday, and we went a-squirrcl-hunting.' S. -What did he do on the 32 1" 'He thrashed the wheat on that day.' & What did U do ou tbu 33d V AV. 'U was raining and he shaved out some handles. ' What did he do oil tlie 31th T V. 'He chopped wood.' S. 'What did lie do on the' Hut before the question could be finished the witness' wife seized him by the collar and wliibked him outside of the witness- box," yelling in his affrighted ear, You old i fool ! don't you know there are wily tturty one days in the month of November 1' A clergymen once preaclied a very long semon from the text : Tbon art weighed iu the balance and fonnd wanting.' ' - After the congregation had listened about on hour, some began to grow weary and went out, others soou followed, greatly to the annoysvoesj of the minister. . Where ipoi t stopped in his sertuou and said : 'That is right, gentlemen, as fast as you are weighed pass out' No one else passed out. A Geumax who had not jHud much at tention to learning English, had a horse stolen from his bam one night, whereupon he advertised as follows : Vou nite, de oder day, ven I vas bin avake in. ray sleep, I hear someting vat I tinke vas not yust right to my barn, aud I yunt out fchuiups in bed and ruus mit de barn out ; and ven I vas dere cooui, 1 secz dat my jag gray iron mare, he vas beu tied loose and run mid de stable off; an ever who vill him back bring, I yust so much pay him as vat bin kustomary.' When old Lord Holland lay dying Oeorge Sclwyn, who had a morbid love for seeing corpse's, executions, deathbeds, and the like, was a constant visitor of his. If Mr. Selwyn calls to-morrow,' said the mas ter of the bouse, 'be sure he is admitted ; for if I am alive I shall be glad to see him, and if 1 am dead he will be glad to see me' a stroke of humor only surpassed by Sclwyu himself, who, when the friends of Charles James Fox were discussing a project for paying his gambling debts, and wondering how he would take it ; that is, if he would not be oTcnded at such an offer ; 'Take it !' cried the wit; wby, quarterly, of course.' A Well-Knows man of fashion recent ly engaged an Irishman as valet. The first morning he rang for his servant and or dered him U bring his boots. In two or three minutes the man made his appear ance with one buttoned boot and one Well ington, which his master naturally eyed with the greatest astonishment What on earth have you got there, Dennis ? Are you mad ? Couldn't you find any other boots in my wardrobe V 'Oh, yesk sir,' re plied the Irishman, 'there 'p another pair like this 1' . A yocng bootblack olwerved a neighbor poring wisely over a newspaper, whereupon he addressed him thus : 'Julius, what are you looking at dat paper for ? You can't read ?' .'Go away,' cried the other, indig nantly : 'guess I can read ; 's big enough for dat.' 'Dig enuff!' retorted the other scorn fully ; 'dat ain't nuffin. A cow's big 'nuff to catch mice, bat she can't.' Mabv,' said John Henry, as bo reclined in the arms of his loving sweetheart, 'can you tell me why my head at present is like what I was last uight ?' 'No, dear ; why is it f 'Because,' murmured John Henry, abseutly, 'it is ou a bust.' The resem blance was not discernible the next mo ment. A Cleuotman, iu a strange parish, wishing to know what the people thought of his preaching, interviewed the sexton, and asked him what the people said of Mr. Johnson, his predecessor. 'Oh,' replied tle sexton, 'they say he isn't souud. 'Well, what do they say of the new minister ?' Oh, they say he's all sound.' 'What do you consider the object of legislation ? 'The greatest good Ut the greatest number.' 'What do you consider the greatest number ?' continued his lord ship. 'Number one, my lord,' was the commoner's prompt reply. At a recent moeting of a society com posed of men from the Emerald lse, a mem ber made the following motiu : 'Mr. Presi dent, I move yees that we whitewash the ceiling green, in honor of the owld flarg.' A N ERGO who had learned to read, wish ing to give an idea of it to some of Ids ac quaintance who had never seen a book, said : 'Read in' is de power ob liearin' wid de eyes instead ob de car.' 'The day U Dot far distant,' say a Ilaleigh paper, 'when the world will begin to look on death as a journey to another country.' Yes ; and the journey is one on which we can all of us go as deadheads. And did you hear him call her 'my dear,' or anything like that?' asked the hwver.

We have on several occasions drawn our readers' attention to this great enemy of the potato, but if the hundredth part of the reports we bare of its do ings In the west were only true, it would still be worth while to have weekly notes of caution on the part of potato-growers east to look out for him. We do not, for instance, believe that my raida of the beetles start for the nearest church ipire when .they arrive In a new neighborhood, and smilingly watch tbe farmers for miles aronnd dropping potato sets, and calculate to an hour how long It will take for them to drop just down on them as they push through the ground to de vour the whole crop ; but we do believe it ia, figu ratively speaking, worth our potato-growers' while to look from church-steeples or auy other intellectually high place that will aid him In see ing the destructive insect before he comes loo near. Every day we are learning some new fact about the destructive power of the thing. In the case of most insects they appear only at cer tain seasons. If we keep them iv for a few weeks we are safe for the rest of the year. We have supposed from what we have read about the Colorado beetle that it ravages were con fined to midsummer and autumn, bnt the Cham paign, Illinois, correspondent of the Cotutry VtnUtman tells ns that It appeared in that sec tion this season as early as the twelfth of May. It is by no means certain that the insect will be very troublesome this side of the Alleghanies. There are little peculiarities of climate which insects can detect, though we with all our science cannot, which are often to work to restrain cer tain species withh. certain limits. It is not in nature that any one thing shall override the earth. We have in the east a small beetle with three lines instead of ten, as in the Colorado one, and much smaller every way, which feeds on the potato, though not to any serious extent, wmcn specie we believe is not known in those regions where the great enemy abounds. It may be that each of these is'to keep to its own boundaries. It is also true rhat though a few scattering cases have occurred of the insect hav ing been caught in Pennsylvania, and no doubt there have been hundreds not seen for every one taken, they have not as yet made themselves seriously felt. We have some hope from these considerations that we may escape, and our seaboard States become the potato-growers for the whole Union; bnt this is mere speculation, and we would not have our friends abate one Jot of their interest in making themselves acquainted with the insect or in keeping a sharp lookout for him. Gtrman tomt Telegraph. Kemedt fob thi Striped Bco asd Colorado Potato Beetle. Take one part Paris green and fifteen parts calcined plaster; mix well, and with a common dredging box dust the vines when wet or dry. Once or twice geneially is sufficient. It may be nsed, with great care, on squasncs, mnskmelons and cucumbers. The watermelon, however, does not bear such treat ment, I give my experience iu the business, limited as it is, because I know with what diffi culty cucumbers and other vines are protected from the striped bng. x. w. g. To the above we would add that Paris green mixoJ with tweuty parts of flour or the same of plaster, scattered over the leaves of the infested vines, will destroy the larva of the potato bug. A small tin box eith the bottom punched full of holes, like a common pepper box, attached to the end of a short stick, will answer for dusting poison over the vines. An application should be made npon the first appearance of the small larva npon the vines, and repeated as often as necessary to keep the pest in check. Neighkora should unite in this war upon the beetle, and if they will do this there need be no failure of the potato crop. Paris green can be purchased at any of onr drug stores. JCuUUtoitn Journal. Th New Scbstitcte roa Coal. It was stated a short time ago that a Belgian peasant had made the extraordinaty discovery that earth, coal and soda, mixed together, would burn as well as, if not belter than, any other combusti ble. The fact has since then been proved be yond a doubt. The parisian paper, the JfoniUnr, has gong so far aa to make the experiment at ita printing office. A correspondent of the Journal f Uh Society of ArU has aiso tested the com pound with the most satisfactory results. Tha mixture was made as follows: To 15 1b. of mould were added 3 lb. of powdered coal; also one pint of a solution of common washing soda, water, on pint ; soda, one ounce. The mas was worked np after tbe fashion of mortar, and then made into balls about the sua of a large orange. Half a dozen ball ia the wet state were pnt on a coal fire, which was not burning very brightly. In a short time the moisture was driven off, and the ball quickly became red-hot, giving out a strong heat, and apparently burn ing slowly without falling to pieces, the soda no doubt acting as a lux. The ball, on being touched with a poksr, broke into lumps, which burnt like cinders, yielding a fire dear at tha top. It was observed that alter the moisture was driven off (he ball burnt without smoke. The ash was apparently of a heavy character, different from coal ash. Packixq Plants to Travel Loss Distances. In packing plant for transmission to distant places, Dr. Thurber sayj there is more danger from too much than from too little moisture. The best packing material I sphagnum or bog most, and thi should be just so damp only as to bo ' elastic to the touch. Plants packed in this, If not too damp, will remain for week un injured ; that is, if the plants are at rest. An other thing is to pack close. If sending by post take a piece of strong brown paper ; lay the Just damp not wet moss upon it ; put the plants upon the moss, aud more mos over the plant. Then begin at one end of the paper and roll np hard, secure with a string, and then put another paper over for directions. So, in packing in boxes, use the moss just damp, and have the box full and crammed down hard, so that there can be no possibility of moving or shaking in transit. HOCMEIIOLD. Lemon Pie. Three eggs (save the whites of two), juice and peel of one lemon, one cup of boiliag water, one tablespoonful of corn meal, one cup of sugar. Bake. Grate the lemon and pour the boiling water over tbe juice and peel ; beat the eggs with the corn meal, and add to the boiling water ; let it cool before adding the su gar. Beat the whites of tbe two eggs with one tablespoonful of sugar, and pr?ad over the top of tbe pie. Have the under crut of pastry. Ham Cake. A capital way of disposing of the remain ot a bam and making an excellent dish for breakfast is : Take a pound and a half of ham, fat aud lean together ; put it into a mor tar aud pound it, or pass it through a sausage machine ; boil a large slice of bread in half a pint of milk, an beat it and tbe ham well to gether ; add an egg beaten np. Put tha whole into a mould and bake a rich brown. Paper Pillows. Excellent paper pillows may be made of old letters-the stiffer the paper tbe better. Newspapers will not do. The paper should be cut into slips, and rolled round an ivory knitting-needle ; it is then almost like a spring, and make a much better enshon than the torn paper, being more elastic. Roecmatism Remedy. One Samuel Deaton, Cbristiaatburg, Ohio, who had the rheumatism nineteen years, says the following U what cured him : "One quart of rye whisky, one ounce of wild cherry bark (root), one ounce of prickly ash root, one ounce of yellow dock root, one ouuee spikenard root, one ounce of gum myrrh. If ose Dottle don't cure yon, try another. Take three drinks a day. Two bottles cared me." Filter for Cistsh Water. Perforate the bottom of a wooden box with a number of small holes ; place inside a piece of flannel, cover with coarsely powdered charcoal, over this coarse river sand, and on this small pieces of sandstone.. AitT is.Greeshoisks. Lump of soft putty are excellent traps for ants. Lay them around where the ants most frequent, and as soon as the lumps are stuck full of them, work the putty over, ants and all, and re-set the same lump as a trap again. Feepixo Calves n Transit. The best way. it to take a large basket of eggs along, and when! tbe calf begins to make too much noise, break one and thrust it down his throat, shell and all. This will satisfy them for some time, when It may be repeated. Fed la this way they win ride quietly, and will not shrink half so mnch.
