AaßgggL THRILL.
THE ARMY WORM.
Wc find in the last St. Martinsville Ga
zette, an article of the Franklin Republi
can, in which it is stated that the Army
\V ’orm dies as soon as it receives its full
growth, which is about an inch in length,
and that its nature is “something similar to
that of the silkworm.” The whole of this
statement is false. The silkworm does not
die when it receives its full growth. It
changes to tho chrysalis state, then pierces
its cocoon which envelopes it, comes forth
a moth, lays its eggs and dies So it is
with the army worm. The egg from which
it is hatched by the heat of the sun, is de
posited on the tender leaves of the plant.—
In this climate the egg hatches very soon,
the caterpillar eats ravenously and grows
fast. Instead of weaving a soft covering
such as that of the silkworm, it seeks a
place of concealment in the earth, when it
casts offits skin and assumes the chrysalis
or nymph form. Thus it remains until it
comes forth, a moth or butterfly, the follow
ing season. Some insects pass two or three
years in the state of larva and chrysalis,
but whose existence in the winged state, is
limited to a few hours.—When ploughing
ground, immense quantities of the army
worm pupa are sometimes seen, but few
persons imagine that if not destroyed by the
birds which follow the plough, they will a
gain be disinterred in time to destroy the
entire crop.
Our belief is that wc shall always be
subject to the ravages of this worm, and
that they will increase rather than diminish
because, as land is now better drained than
formerly the worm in the chrysalis state
will be more likely to survive the winter,
but more particularly, because the number
cf birds which fall a prey to the sportsman,
i3 yearly increasing. Black birds and rice
birds are known, during the ploughing sea
son, to feed on those grubs, each one of
which would otherwise produce its hundred
fold. It is said of the crow, that “he des
troys at least five hundred pernacious grubs
and insects for every grain of corn which
he pillages from man.” It is thought by
by some that we of the South need no legis
lation in regard to birds, because they are
eo numerous. Insects are proportionably
numerous, and this State is as much in need
of legislative enactments on the subject as
any other.— American Farmer.
WATER-PROOF DUBBING FOR
LEATHER.
Keep your feet dry and head cool. —To
it'Wider leather water-proof, and at the same
time to preserve its elasticity, is a matter
of great importance, as it increases its du
rability. and protects those who apply it to
shoes or boots from the mischievous effects
arising from damp or wet feet. The fol
lowing receipt followed out carefully, it is
believed, will effect this object.
Take a pint of linseed oil, two ounces of
bees-wax, two ounces of spirits of turpen
tine, and a half an ounce of Burgundy
pitch, and slowly melt them together, con
tinuing to stir them so as thoroughly to in
corporate them, being careful not to set the
mass on fire, as the ingredients are all com
bustible. When this compound cools, it
will be found to bo about as elastic as leath
er ought to be. If it were harder, it would
cause the leather to crack or break when
bent; and if it were softer, water would en
ter and wash it out. To apply it, re-melt
it, warm the shoes or boots, and put it on
with a small brush or a sponge, or piece of
cloth tied on the end of a stick ; continue to
warm it in till the leather is well saturated
with it, and particularly the bottoms of the
coles and heels. It should always be ap
plied when the boots or shoes are new, and
then lay them by to season some time be
fore wearing. Leather thus treated will
be found impervious to water, and will
wear twice as long as that to which it has
not been applied. The writer has used this
article for many years, and can testify to
the great benefits derived from it; and he
has no doubt but his shoe-maker’s bill has
been reduced to one half by the use of this
composition ; and what has been saved by
doctors’ bills he is unable to estimate.
Common grease applied to leather tends
to rot it, and it is soon washed out in wet
weather.— Farmer’s Cabinet. O.
WASPS THE FIRST PAPER-MA
KERS.
The wasp is a paper maker, and a most
perfect and intelligent one. While man
kind were arriving by slow degrees, at the
art of fabricating this valuable substance,
the wasp was making it before their eyes,
by very much the same process as that by
which human hands now manufacture it
with the best aid of chemistry and machine
ry. While some nations carved their re
cords on wood, and stone, and brass, and
leaden tablets, —others more advanced,
wrote with a style on wax, —others em
ployed the inner bark of trees, and others
the skins of animals rudely prepared, —the
wasp was maufacturing a firm and durable
paper. Even when the papyrus was ren
dered more fit, by a process of art, for the
transmission of ideas in w riting the wasp
wa3 a better artisan than the Egyptians ;
for the early attempts at papermaking were
so rude that the substance produced was al
most useless, from being extremely friable.
The paper of the leaves of the plant dried,
pressed and polished ; the wasp alone knew
how to reduce vegetable fibres to a pulp,
and then unite them by a size or glue, sprea
ding the substance out into a smooth and
delicate leaf. This is exactly the process
cf paper-making. It would seem that the
wasp knows, as the modern paper-makers
row know that the fibres o: rags, w hether
linen or cotton, are not the only materials
that can be used in the formation of paper ;
she employs other vegetable matters, con
verting them into a proper consistency by
her assiduous exertions. In some respects
sho is more skilful even than our paper-ma
kers, for she takes care to retain her fibres
of sufficient length, by which she renders
her paper as strong as she requires. Ma
ny manufacturers of the present day cut
their material into small bits, and thus pro
duce a rotten article. One great distinc
tion between good and bad paper is its
toughness; and this difference is invaria
bly produced by the fibre of which it is com
posed being long, and therefore tough; or
short and therefore friable.
The wasp has been labouring at her man
ufacture of paper, from her first creation,
with precisely the same instruments and
the same materials ; and her success has
been unvarying. Her machinery is very
simple, and therefore it is never out of or
der. She learns nothing, and she forgets
nothing. Men, from time to time, lose
their excellence in particular arts and they
arc slow in finding out real improvements.
Such improvements are often the effect of
accident. Paper is now manufactured ve
ry extensively by machinery, in all its sta
ges ; and thus instead of a single sheet be
ing made by hand, a stream of paper is
poured out, which would form a roll large
enough to extend round the globe, if such
a length were desirable. The inventors of
this machine, Messrs. Fourdriner, it is said
spent the enormous sum of 40,000/. in vain
attempts to render the machine capable of
determining with precision the width of the
roll ; and, at last accomplished their object
at tile suggestion of a bystander, by a strap
revolving upon an axis, at a cost of 3 shil
lings and sixpence. Such is the difference
between the workings of human knowledge
and experience, and those of animal in
stinct. We proceed slowly and in the dark
—but our course is not bounded by a nar
row line, for it seems difficult to say what
is the perfection of any art ; animals go
clearly to a given point—but they can go
no further. We may, however, learr. some
thing from their perfect knowledge of what
is within their range. It is riot improbable
that if man had attended in an earlier state
of society to the labours of wasps, he would
have sooner known how to make paper.—
We are still behind in our arts and scien
ces, because we have not always been ob
servers. If we had watched the operations
of insects, and the structure of animals in
general, with more care, we might have
been far advanced in the knowledge of ma
ny arts, which are yet in their infancy, for
nature has given us abundance of patterns.
EXPEDIENT OF A NEEDY TRAV
ELLER.
j We have heard the story of an English
half-pay officer living at Florence, much
in debt, and desirous to get to England, but
unable to procure his passport, without
which he could not be permitted to depart,
on account of the interference of his credi
tors. lie one day, in a coffee-house, fell to
abusing the Grand Duke in very outrageous
terms, in consequence of which he was next
day conducted to the Tuscan frontier by a
police officer. The following expedient,
related by a London paper, is much less
obvious and more ingenious :
John Kilburn, a person well known or.
the turf, as list seller, &e., was in a town
in Bedfordshire, and as a turf phrase is,
“ quite broken down.” It was during har
vest, and the week before Richmond races,
(Yorkshire.) whither he was travelling,
and near which town he was born ; to ar
rive therein time he hit upon the following
expedient: He applies to an acquaintance
of his, a blacksmith, to stamp on a padlock
the words “ Richmond gaol,” with which,
and a chain fixed to one of his legs, he com
posedly went into a cornfield to sleep. As
lie expected, he was soon apprehended, and
taken before a magistrate, who, after some
deliberation, ordered two constables to
guard him to Richmond ; no time was to be
lost, for Kilburn said he had not been tried,
and hoped they would not let him lay till
another assize. The constables, on their
arrival at the gaol, accosted tho gaoler with
“ Sir, do you know this man ?” “ Y'es, ve
ry well: it is Kilburn ; I have known hirn
for many years.” “We suppose he has
broken out of your gaol, as ho has a chain
and padlock on with your mark ; is he not
a prisoner?” “ I never heard any harm
of him in my life.” “ Nor,” says Kilburn,
“ have these gentlemen, sir; they have
been so kind as to bring me out of Bedford
shire, and I will not put them to further in
convenience. I have got the key of the
padlock, and I will not trouble them to un
lock it; lam obliged to them for their kind
behavior.” He travelled this way about
170 miles.
ROASTING A MAN TO DEATH.
We copy the following account of an a
bominable outrage from the N. O. Picayune
of Aug. 14:
Some four weeks ago, a young man
named Riley, a member of the Marion Ri
fles, and employed by a merchant in Com
mune street, left this city for the purpose of
seeing some friends in Bayou Sara. He
made an agreement with the officers of the
United States, going up to St. Louis, to pay
part of his passage in money, and to assist
in wooding. On the first night that he star
ted, he was called up; but having indulged
rather freely in liquor with his friends in
New Orleans previous to embarking, he
felt sick and fatigued, and refused to obey
the summons. The mate and engineer of
the boat swore that he should do as he pro
mised, and he still refusing, they took him
by the heels and dragged him somewhere
near the mouth of the oven, or at least so
near that he fell by the fire. Being much
intoxicated, he laid there until his back
and neck were burnt in a horrible manner.
Someone or two of the passengers, seeing
him in this situation, removed him to his
berth, where, and espite of their treatment, he 1
died in three or four hours afterwards.—
The officers then wished to bury the body
on shore, hut the passengers insisted upon
having him taken up to Natchez, where an
inquest was held and a verdict given in ac
cordance with the above facts. Tho steam
boat immediately pushed up the river.—
Yesterday, a letter was received by his
friends in this city, informing them of the
nature of his death.”

NEW-YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
PROSPECTUS.
rgl HE Publishers of the New-York Tribune,
~S~ encouraged by the generous patronage and
hearty approval which has been extended to their
Daily paper since its establishment, and which
has already rendered it the second in point of cir
culation in the city, propose to publish, on and j
after the 18th day of September, a Weekly edi- i
tion, on a sheet of mammoth size, excluding all
matter of local or transitory interest, and ealeu- ■
lated mainly for Country circulation.
The Tribune —whether in its Daily or Week
ly edition—will be what its name imports—an
unflinching supporter of the People’s Rights and
Interests, in stern hostility to the errors of super
ficial theorists, the influences of unjust and im
perfect legislation, and the schemes and sophis
tries of self-seeking demagogues, ft will stren
uously advocate the Protection of American
Industry against the grasping and to us blight
ing policy of European Governments, and the un
equal competition which they force upon us, as
also against tiie present depressing system of
State Prison Labor ; it will advocate the resto
ration of a sound and uniform National Cur
rency ; and urge a discreet but determined pro
secution of Internal Improvement. The Re
trenchment, wherever practicable, of Govern
ment Expenditures and of Executive Patronage,
will be zealously urged. In short, this paper
will faithfully maintain and earnestly advocate
the Principles and Measures which the People
approved in devolving on Whig Statesmen the
conduct of their Government.
But a small portion, however, of its columns
will be devoted to purely Political discussions.
The proceedings of Congress will be carefully
recorded; the Foreign-and Domestic Intelligence
early and lucidly presented ; and whatever shall
appear calculated to promote Morality, maintain
Social Order, extend the blessings of Education,
or in any way subserve the great cause of Hu
man Progress to ultimate Virtue, Liberty and
Happiness, will find a place in our columns.
‘The Weekly Tribune will be published eve
ry Saturday morning in Quarto form on a very
large imperial sheet, (31 by 42 inches,) and af
forded to Subscribers at TWO DOLLARS a
year. Six copies will be forwarded a year for
Ten Dollars, Ten copies for Fifteen Dollars, and
any larger number in the latter proportion. Pay
ment in advance will be invariably required, and
the paper stopped whenever the term of such
payment expires. Subscriptions are respectfully
solicited bv

PROPOSALS
FOP. PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION
A FULL REPORT OF THE
GEOLOGICAL & AGRICULTURAL
SURVEY OF THF
STATiE ©!F
rjnilE Legislature, at their last session, deem-
A ed it expedient to discontinue the salary of
the State Geologist, in consequence ot the em
barrassed finances of the State. By this unex
pected movement, the subscriber is deprived of
the means of completing the survey ot the State,
on the original plan: if done at ail, it must be
at individual risk and expense.
It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the en
lightened citizens of Georgia, tliat by following
out the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and
pursued witli unremitting energy to the present,
tiie State has been contributing her mite, hum
ble as it may be on the part of her agent, to the
cause of general science in our country, and the
advancement of intellectual improvement among
her citizens, in accordance with other States ot’
the Union. There is but one alternative. In the
present situation of the survey, the work must
either be abandoned and the important informa
tion obtained by four years investigation of the
Geology of the State, lost to her citizens, or the
! subscriber must depend for support, on individ
ual patronage. He is determined to make an ef
fort for the benefit and honor ot his adopted State,
to proceed with the survey. From former ex
perience of the unbounded liberality and gene
rous hospitality of his fellow citizens, in differ
ent parts of the State, he is confident that, in
making an appeal to their sympathy and patron
age, it will not be made in vain.
That a complete survey may be made of the re
maining counties of the State, and tiie whole
consolidated and published for the information
and benefit of the citizens, public patronage is
most respectfully solicited. A work of this kind,
is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising
an area of sixty thousand square miles, being
destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or
history of the same. A majority of the citizens
must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the
rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci
ties of the different sections. Favored as the
subscriber has been, by four years labor, as
State Geologist, in different parts of the State,
in collecting materials for a complete report ot
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, he trusts that he shall be able to
meet the approbation of his fellow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that the
proceeds arising from subscription ior the work
shall be appropriated to the completion of the
survey of the remainiug counties of the State,
and that they shall be finished as they will bo
needed for publication. •
