Both were youz and both was verdant; havii been raised in the wilds of Wef ern Virginia, neitber of them hi ever been fifty mile.s from, bomx They had heard of railways, steai boats, locomotives and hotels b bad never experienced the coi fort,g of any of the Torementic ed institutions. J.ams and Li had determined on this, the mc important event in their lives, visit the city and see the worl particularly that portion of known as Parkersburg. No wc der that they wore amused and d lighted,wheni the locomotive steal ing and snorting, wit.h the beau ful crimson cars followi ing it, car ina sight. "Those your trunks ?" said t baggage master.. "Well, I sorter calculate then 'em," said Jeems. The trunks (a spotted ha trunk and a very old-fashion valise) were soon in the baga car, followed by Lize and Jeei "I'll be darned if railroads ai -a- ine thn, said .Teems. seati himself on his luggage- and care fully holding up the tail of hi: tight-waisted blue, adorned witi resplendent metal buttons, out o0 the dust. "Lize, sit here, by me.' "Come out of tat," said th< baggage master, "you are in th( wrong car." "The hell I am! D'ye 'spose don't know what I'm 'bout' These is my traps, and I calculat< to stay whar they ar'. Keel quiet, Lize; they say we've got t fight our way through the work anyhow, and if that chap with thl cap on wants anything, why, Ii his man. Don't want any yei foolin' 'round me!" Here the Captain interpose< and explained matters, insomuel that Jeems consented to leave hi traps a n d follow the captain What was his delight when hi surveyed the magnificenc of thi first-class passenger car1, in t which be was ushered. His im agination had never, in its wil< flights, pictured anything half si gorgeous. He was aroused fron the contemplation of the splendo around him- by the shriek of th iron horse. "Jew hillikins! what in t h thunder 's that?" e x c I a i-n e Jeeins. "That's the horse squealin when they punch him in the rib with a pitch fork, to make him g along," said a sleepy individuw just behind him. "Look h e r e, -stranger," sai Jeems, "I know you think I'm darned fool; maybe I am; bu there's one thing I know, an that is, that yoa'll get you Imouth broke of you don't keep i shut. I don't say mudh"-just a that moment they found then selves in Egyptian darkness, an then there was a scream almo, equal to that of the engine, fror Lize, as she threw her arm around the neck of Jeems. "I knew it !" exclaimed tb sleepy individua!; "we are all losi every moihe's son of us. W can,prepare to make the acquaain ance of the old man in black, wh tends the big fire down below." "Oh, Lord!Jeems, what will b come of us ? I felt skerry abou gettin' on the outlandish thin at fast." . "Keep quiet, Lize I hollori won't do any good now. Ef yo know any prayer, now's you time to say it for bpth of us." "What's the. matter here? sai the astonished conductor, comin up as the train emerged once moi into the light." "That's just what I'd like I know," said Jeems, when he sa Lize and- himself were still aliv "We've just passed through E ton's tunnel," replied our poli captain. "How far are you g ing" "Well, I reckon we'll stop Parkersburg." "Show your tickets, if y< please." "Sartinly, Lize, you got son with you! Let this gent look 'em." Lize drew a piece of white y per from her reticule, and with smile, handed it to our friend, t caltainl, who read:. r "The pleasure of your compai is respectively solicited," etc. e "What's this?" said the capta: "Why, that,'s one of the tiek< y to our welddin'; that's what y aked for,hain't it ?" said the son I, what surprised Jeemns. - "Whaw! whaw! whaw !" w~ the discordant sound that ar<( e from the seat of the sleepy loC individual. S A bland smiie passed overt face of the captain, as he expla .ed the meaning to our verdt ~friend. He had no ticket, but v lingly paid his. fare, and the tr: sped on to its destination. I wonders did not cease here-p: sently our pert newsboy .Billy, tered the car, and steppimg up Jeems, he asked: "Have a Sun, sir ?" ."Wa'll, if I havemywya e , the fust one will be a son1, ~ e,tin," said Jeems. Lize blushed "Don't count your chickens fore they are ha:ched," said Bi tas he hastened to the next car. d In due time the train stoppec , the big depot in this city.

The baggage was sent up n't< the usual promptness, anid fi-j..s were soon making t I toilet for dinner. Jeems had hi coat off in a jiffy, and Lizes h:ai fell gracefully over her shoulders "That's a deuced pretty torsel! Jeems said, cycing the bell-cord "wonder what it's fur," catehin% hold of it. "Look, it works i there on a sort of a thingumboh I'd like to have that torsel to put o: my horse's'head next muster day see how it works," said he givin it a pull. Presently the door opened, an' the sable face of one of Africa% sons was thrust into the room i with the inquiry of "Ring, sah ?

"Tee-bee! Tee-lice!" was th only audible reply from the Aabl s gent as he hurried down stairs. : Dinner came and was dispatel: I ed with a relish. Jeems and hi bride took a stro,1 ovcer the cit3 seeing the lions and other sight until supper time, which bein tI over, they retired to their room! i The gas was lit by the servai r who received a bright quarter to t bis services. Jeems was last t bed, and according to the rule i - such cases, had to put out th I light which he did with a bla t from his lungs.

FIGHTING THE WORM. THE co'r'rON CATERIL.LAR. EF'E' 'lALLY FLANKED-TiE ESUILTS I NO LoNGER non,rrmj.. Tie Tallahassece Floridian con tains the details of some experi ments roceeitly inade in t hat-vicil: ity with a mixture of Paris green and flour to destroy the cotton cat erpillar, and which proved entirely successful. The information is con tained in a letter from Messrs. Earle & Perkins, of that city, who, one day last week, visited the Lake plantation of Mr. Henry Winthrop, of Leon County, and witnessed the application ol the mixture to a cut of live acres. The compound was one pound of Paris green to twentv-four pounids of' flour, and the result is stated as follows: At the time of the experiment the entir-.e cut had Caterpilltr in all stages. The application was made on the centre rows, by dusting the 0 poison over the top of the plant vith a comnimon sifter. In twenty four hours not a live caterpillar was to be seen. We examined the cut carefully; the top leaves looking as fresh and vigorous as if the pre paration had not been applied. On a portion of the leaves we found " quite a number of dead worms, ' but none living, although the bot I tom leaves showed no signs of poison. Two feet from this stalk, > and where the poison had not r been applied, we found a stalk I containing about fifteen cater e pillars, green and black, busy C eating the cotton ; so numerous were they that we eeunted five d worms on one leaf. We were told by the manager that where c the poison had bcen applied a a number of the worms had died, e f:dling to the ground. and were it eaten by the chickens, yet the e chickens still live on. We exam ined the cut where the poison had - been applied and could find no k worms, which demonstrates to our k satisfaction that even if they do o not cat the poison, the prepara. - tion being distasteful, the worms e desert the plant and seek mnro e healthy quarters. A preparation of one pound of e Paris g r c e n and twenty.four pounds of flour was made and dust ed in our presence over the cottou containing the worms. In fifteen S seconds one caterpillar leaped from the stock and was eaten by the W chickens, others crawled to the main body of the plant, working their way to the ground, whilc e others remained in a sluggish con L dition, a sample of' which we e brought to our office and in a short n- time'this pest wvas dead as Hector. ig We have since been told by par. d ties who visited this cottc,n in th' oafternoon that no sign of' cat er'pillair could be seen, yet th< c. application had only been made Sthat morning. We visited thi: dcut the next af'teriioon in company r> with Dr. A. B. Hawkins, W. R e- Wisn Geo. Lewis, Chas. O e- Pearce, Mr. Winthrop, Mr. Pag< r and a colorecd man f'rom Mr s Pearce's place, examined the cut and after a dligenit search not: he worm could be found. Mr. Pearc nfl noticed live worms on a stalk tha is. had not received the appilicatioi hand dead ones on the r.;xt rov where it had been applied. All o l. .the parties left fully convincel 'lthat it was a complete success 'as Wednesday the first applicatio. a was made, and on Friday nigh this cut wvas visited with a ver; as heavv rain, and still the poison rt ie main'ed on the p)lant, the flou if making.a paste whieb is diflicul t- to wash off.
