After the snow is gone and a
few days of genial sunshine)
warm up the hillsides and val
leys, then will spring up the
delicate, modest violeis and oth
er lovely wild flowers that grow j
spontaneously all over this coun
try; the air will be redolent with |
their sweet breath, and in the
ecstacy of the transformation,
the music of the feathery tribe
and the readiness of the speckled
beauties of the finny tribe to
bite, the snow and ice and rigors
of winter will be forgotten.
Without a touch of “the beauti

A plague of anaila, or aluga, aa the af
flicted people call them, lately struck
Jeffersonville, Ind., In full force, and
Instances are cited where persons have
been compelled to move. Their flrat
appearance was after the flood of Feb
ruary, 1884, but they have never been
so bad aa at present. The pests are
not exactly like a snail, bet resemble
them in some respects. They have no
■hells and are night raiders, aaya the
New York World.
At no place in the otty where the
flood water failed to reaeh has one of
the slugs been seen, but in the moet
fashionable quarters the peata are
numerous. In sine they range from
one to six Inches in length, being from
n quarter to an Inch in diameter. It ia
not until ten o'clock at night that the
snails come out of their hiding places,
under houses, and' slug hunting partiee
have become fashionable.
Armed with a lamp and a cup of salt,
the people hunt for the peat, and when
a slug ia found its days are numbered,
for the smallest particle of salt means
death. The more salt the quicker the
work.
They leave behind a slimy track, that
furnishes a clew to theip movements.
In some places fine carpets have been
ruined, the slimy tail eating like acid.
One of the most peculiar character
istics of the slugs is their ability to get
their large bodies through a small
• pace. They flatten out almost as thin ;
as a knife blade a Mowing them to crawl
