Old Time Target Shooting
1 Tho following reminiscence is revived
by tho Iioston Traveller: Just as we
aro interested about nflo shooting now
because of -the skillful shots made by
some olonr nilemen in the British
islands, wero men interested, here
and hercajjout, a hundred years ago,
concerning, riflo shooting in that army
which had shut up the British in Bos
ton. 3Ir. I rothingham, in his most
readable History of the Siege of Bos
ton," suys, when referring to matters in
that army, in' tho latter days of July,
1775 : " Tho Southern riflemen attracted
much attention. They had enlisted with
great promptness, and had marched
from four to seven hundred miles. For
a short hmo largo bodies of them
arrived H bainp. They wero remark
ably stalwart, men, dressed in white
frocks or riilo shirts and round hats, and
were H,ill(ul marksmen.
4 At a review a company of them, while
on a quirt advance, fired their balls
into objoots of seven inches diameter, at
a distant of 250 yards. They were
utationt'dm the lines, and became terri
ble to tho British. Tho accounts of their
prowess Wjlo circulated over England.
One of them, taken prisoner, was carried
there, and Uho papers describe him
minutely -gara remarkable curiosity."
So there was ono American rifleman in
Kngland lUKI&uiy a8 the English
inon were thinking of American rifle firing,
as they jifo now. Mr. Frothingham
quotes fr$ a letter, dated July 19, 1775,
in which it Is stated the general uniforms
of tho riflemen are made of. brown Hol
land and Osnaburghs, something like a

TJie Countess Handkerchief.
The French papers are full of a societv
scandal or divorce in high life of the
Count di Hello from his wife. The case
was begun years ago in Portugal, land
came up, in May last, before the court
of appeals, which denied the motion for
a separation. .As the count and lovely
countess were well known to manv
Americans in Nice during the winter of
1872, a few details of the cause of their
domestic troubles may not prove unin
teresting. The rich Russian Prince de
N gave a grand soiree at his elegant
villa, and invited several American offi
cers, who were then with the fleet at
"Villefranche." Among the invited
guests were the count and his wife.
During the evening they were both in
troduced to the young and popular
Vicomte Gustavus Lilio, an officer with
a glorious record for one so young, and
belonging to one of the most illustrious
families of Belgium. He was the beau
of the evening and the pet of the ladies
but sumse it to say Lilio fell desperate
ly in love with the beautiful Spanish
countess, and she with him, though her
prida forbade her to admit the possibili
ty of such a thing. Yet she was proud
of her conquest, and accepted marked
attention from the handsome officer. It
was her first meeting, though they were
not unknown to each other. During the
evening the foolish wife wrote a few
lines on a slip of paper which she in
tended to give the young viscount to
caution him against her jealous husband.
During the dancing the enamored pair
stole into one of the fairy, bpudoirs, and
a tete-a-tete was pleasantly progressing;;
and a rendezvous passionately solicited
by the viscount, when, with trembling
hand, she handed him the few lines she
had. written, wrapped in her handker
chief; "Read .this a little later,." said
she, and started to enteY4lto ball-robm,
but was met, face to face, by the infuri
ated husband, who had missed them
from the room. An ironic smile was on
his lips. " My dear viscount," said he,
" if I mistake not my wife quite mon
opolizes your soci ty. It is nearly two
hours since you left the ball-room, and
the guests began to inquire for you."
While thus speaking he reached his
hand to take the handkerchief, which he
recognized as his wife's, when Lilio
drew back in indignation, exclaiming:
"This handkerchief is not yours."
" Pardon me," said the count, "it bears
such a strong resemblance to that of my
wife's, and if hers, she must have given
it to you." " You are mistaken," said
Lilio; " it was not given to me I took
it." " The handkerchief is worth two
hundred louis, and if you took it you are
a thief," was the retort.
At this, the row began; hot, angry
words were exchanged. The result was
a challenge and a duel arranged to take
place the next day. During this dis
pute, the poor countess . fainted on a
sofa. Two American officers went as
seconds for the count, and the antago
nists met a short distance from Ville
franche. As the moment drew near,
the young Belgium asked a special favor
to be allowed to wear his white vest, giv
ing as a pretext his fear of taking cold
and the contes began with swords. At
the first "pass " Lilio's sword fell from
his hand, the saber of his adversary hav
ing pierced him tb the "heart. He fell
without a word dead. His " seconds "
in examining his wound found the fatal
handkerchief pierced by the sword of
Mello and saturated with his heart's
blood. These are the details' of Mia
cause for which the count asked a seper
ation on suspicion'of his wife's1 infili!
ty, and which was denied by the highest
uuurt oi irortugai.

An Unlucky Ship,
The steamer Abbotsford, of the
Philadelphia-European line, which re
cently went ashore on the coast of Wales,
has had an unusually hard experience,
as detailed by her former captain to a
reporter. He said : We left Antwerp
on the 24th of November, 1874, for
New York, with 400 passengers on
board, and all proceeded well till we ar
rived in the straits of Dover, where we
stopped for five or six minutes to 'land
our North sea pilot. While so stopping
and while our pilot was stepping into a
boat tho steamer Indus, belonging to
the Pennsylvania and Oriental steam
ship company, ran into us, carrying
away our stem to three feet above the
water line. The Indus was bound down
channel, like ourselves, and the collision
occurred through the Indo trying to
shave us too closely. The case is now
pending in the English admiralty
courts. The following day I steamed up
to the Victoria docks, London, where
we transferred our passengers to another
steamer and the Abbotsford was repair
ed, necessitating a delay of one month.
On the 22d of December we again
sailed "for our destination with forty
nine passengers, and all went well until
we arrived in thirty-five degrees west
longitude and about fifty degrees west
north latitude, being about 950 miles
across the Atlantic,, when one day we
encountered a very heavy gale, and lost
our propeller, which had broken off,
leaving no J vestige behind. What
caused it to snap off like this is a mys
tery to me. j It had been in use for
eighteen months previously and had
never shown any signs of weakness.
Having lost pur screw we were convert
ed into a sailing ship, and, for reasons
of prudence,! I determined to put back,
to Queenstown, and headed the shipper,
that place. At ti is time terrible gales
prevailed, and no less than ten steamers
had recently foundered - in tho bay of
Biscay.
We arrived off the Irish coast on the
8th of January, and while off the Fast
nets, heading for Queenstown, during
the prevalence of a very heavy gale,
sighted our sister steamer, the Pennsyl
vania, and 'signaled her to stand by,
which she responded to. Tho gale was
blowing dead on the shore, from the
southwest. . jThe Pennsylvania then at
tempted to take the Abbotsford in tow,
and while endeavoring to do so the
Pennsylvania struck us on the port bow,
staving in about forty feet of the ship's
side, .'"above j water line, and the sea
washed in and out with therolling of the
steamer. Several boats were smashed
cn the Pennsylvania. Our next effort
was to beat joff tho land, which we suc
ceeded in doing, the Pennsylvania stand
by us in case of further accident. The
following morning at seven A. m., the
wind having gone down, the Pennsyl
vania towed the Abbotsford from Seven
Heads, and towed her till three p. m.,
when the tugboats Achievement and
Lord Raglan fell in with them off the
Old Head of Kin sale, where the hawser
with which the Abbotsford was being
towed parted. The Abbofsf ord was then
taken in tow by both tugs, towing her
safely into Queenstown, where we ar
rived at half -past eight p. m;., on the 9th
of February.
The Pennsylvania then proceeded on
her voyage! to Philadelphia. After mak
ing temporary repairs to our ship we
were towed to Liverpool, and there
placed on the dry dock and fitted with a
new propeller. Shortly after the vessel
arrived there smallpox broke out among
the steerage passengers, and a number
of them were removed to the infirmary
at Liverpool. The repairs being com
pleted, the vessel at last set sail for
New York pn the 24th of February, and
after remaining there some time went
round to Philadelphia and commenced
running in the American line.
A Terribte Accident.
Amelia Harp, a widow lady, aged fifty
five years, Iresiding with her sister, Mrs.
Thomas Evans, also a widow, some five
miles southeast of here, says the Read

der peculiarly distressing circumstances.
Mrs. Harp, better known by the name
of Schweuk, her maiden name, was as
sisting in putting away hay on the mow
,of her sister's farm. The hired man,
Mjf. Charles Hesit, drove into the barn
with a load, previous to which he per
suaded Mrs. Harp to ascend to the mow,
as it would be more convenient for her
to reach there than after the- team -had

the woman had preceded him, young
Evans tossed the fork up to the mow, at
which moment Mrs. Harp raised her
head and horrible to state received one
of the prongs , in her right eye. The
point passed upwards and penetrating

death in less than ten minutes. The
sad affair paralyzed the lad, and it was

The mileniutn of Journalism
In a recent book on journalists and
journalism, the author says that we shal
see the time when the strictly profes
sional education of journalists will be far
better than it is now. We shall see, too,
a better appreciation of journalistic
honor ; and a professional esprit de
corps that will discourage the habit of
perpetual personal attack upon individu
al editors,! rather than upon the news
papers they conduct and the
they advocate. Why should it not be a
universally accepted rule that public dis
cussion has nothing to do with the edi

Parts Green and, the Potato Bug,
Prof. A. J. Cook, of the agricultural
college, writes as follows to the New
York Herald : . I hear that many fann
ers call in question the method, recom
mended for applying paris green to rid
the potato vines of the Colorado beetle.
Were we sure of such dry seasons as. we
have had for the last two or three years,
there is no question but that the water
application, or the mixture with plaster
would be preferable ; for then their use
would be both economic and safe.
Plaster with the green, in proportion of
thirty or forty parts of the plaster to one
of the green, will, prove effectual, and
the plaster mixture does not form a
paste, and so never kills the vines. The
plaster, too, is cheap, and may be of
value to the soil, so that a large applica
tion is not costly nor dangerous. But
suppose a pouring rain comes on the
night succeeding the application ; the
mixture is washed off, and the day fol
lowing another application is to be made,
and here is where the expense appears.
Now, the flour mixture cannot be
washed off, and if used sparingly will not
injure the vines. It is not difficult to ap
ply it in very slight quantities, and by
making the mixture strong six parts of
flour by measure to one of the green
we shall still have sufficient green to
prove effectual even though the mixture
be applied ever so sparingly. As before,
I advise just as little as can be seen on
the vines and no more. This is very im
portant. The advice I gave was given
as the result of numerous experiments.
I have known applications of the plaster
mixture and of the water, mixture to be
washed off almost as soon as applied.
The flour mixture cannot be washed off ;
so I would say still that - the - flour mix
ture, if applied as 'stated, will, take the
seasons togetherVbe the ciost tatisfaar
tory, as salej'; always"effect"ua1, and will
take the least amount of green. On oc
count of ease of application,' I doubt not
that the water mixture will come into
most common use. If any ono wants to
sow on thick and unsparingly then let
him use the plaster, one of green to fifty
or sixty parts of plaster ; but if he wants
to be sore to save labor, then let him use
the flour. . ; .....
In the last monthly report from the
United States department of agriculturo
the chemist, William McMurtie, states
that large quantities of paris green, say
nine hundred pounds to the acre, are in
jurious to vegetation. That we nor our
descendants may never reach this
amount perhaps it would bo well to
study how to use the least amount and
still accomplish our purpose.
The JElcho Shield.
After one of the closest contests . that
has yet taken place at Wimbledon, the
Irish eight were declared the winners of
the Elcho shield. This victory makes
them once more champions of Great
Britain, and will do much to console
them for their defeat at Dollymount.
The success of the Irish riflemen will
give general satisfaction in America,
where they have secured so many friends
by the manly way in which they accept
ed defeat at the hands of their American
opponents, both at Creedmoor and Dol
lymount. No doubt something of
national self-gratification will enter into
the feeling with which we regard this
last Irish success. In defeating the
picked teams of England and Scotland
the Irish riflemen make good their boast,
that though unable to defeat the Ameri
cans, they could beat any team in Great
Britain. The work done by the English
and Scotch teams shows them tojiave
been selected with care from the very
best material available, and their defeat
is practically a second victory for
America. The absence of Messrs. Pol
lock and McKenna from the Irish eight
makes the victory won by the Irish the
more significant, as they were replaced
by marksmen confessedly inferior. The
team which ha3 carried off the trophy of
championship is unquestionably inferior
to the one defeated at Dollymount, and
this fact enhances the significance of the
defeat suffered by the . English and
Scotch riflemen. By the victory of the
Irish eight America assumes the cham
pionship of the world, and we gain all
that a victory at Wimbledon would have
given us had our riflemen been admitted
to compete by the authorities of the
English National Rifle Association. We
hope the invitation extended to the rifle
men of the world by Colonel Gildersleeve
to take part in a grand contest for the
rifle championship of the world at Phil
adelphia riext1 jip SWH ' bb accepted,- so
that a decisive trial of may be had:
Habits of the Ostrich
The greatest feat of an Arab hunter is
to capture an ostrich. It is the largest
of living birds, and probably the swiftest
of all living animals. Being very shy
and cautious, and living on the sandy
plains, where there is little chance to
take it by surprise, it can only be cap
tured by a well-planned and long-continued
pursuit with the swif est horses.
The ostrich has two curious habits in
running when alarmed. It always starts
off with outspread wings, against the
wind, so that it can sent' the approach of
an enemy. Its sense of smell is so keen
that it can detect a person at a great dis
tance, long before one can be seen. The
other curious habit is that of running in
a circle. Usually five or six ostriches
are found ia a company. When dis
covered, part of the hunters, mounted
on fleet horses, will pursue the birds,
while the other hunters will gallop away
at right angles to the course the ostriches
have taken. When these hunters thfny
they have gone far enough to cross the
path the birds will be likely to take,
they watch upon some rise of ground for
their approach. If the hunters hit the
right place and see the ostriches, they
at once start in pursuit with fresh horses,
and sometimes they overtake oue or two
of the birds, but often two or three of
the fleet horses fall, completely tired out
with so sharp a chase.
The best homemade fireproof safe is
a hole in the ground, well lined with
brick and cement.
