The eommili>ner of agriculture,
Hon. J. T. Henderson, in anewer to
mimerone letter* concerning the pret
ence of caterpillar*, give* the follow
ing valuable information:
* Report* hava reached this offlee Of
tlie appearance of caterpillars in aov
eral iocalllio*. Commencing this ear
ly, If the eeaaon* is moists and favora
ble, much damage to the ootton orop
may be expected. Ae.in the case of all
evil visitations, prevention ii more to
be relied on than cure, the use of
Paris green and I/Htdon purple as a
means of destroying cotton cate pil
lars is no longer an experiment.
There is no debbt that the ravages of
this pest can be diminished end often
entirely prevented if operation? are
promptly begun. In August. 1883,
Inspector Rogers wae sent to the farm
ofMr. B. 8. Kittrall, of Oconee, John
ii n county, with the viow of tes-
Ing the cflScacy ot London purple as
a destroyer. The following extract
from circular No. 46 [from this de
partment] give* the method used by
Colonel Rogers, and the result of the
experiment.
One pound of the London purple
was diffused in 100 gallon* of water
In the first experiment am! sprayed
upon the cotton plants by niotns of a
cheap tin Awn (costing
42.. V)). On the morning,
while Mi. find
worm
oin
Hr then m \ i",
at tlie rate the
don purple toNN*NB n< ° r wsler
and appliml it in the seme fh+i, wliere
the caicrpillars were quite Burner
oos. It was fonud that this applica
tion not only destroyed the worms,
but also seriously injured the plants.
He theu hit upon a medium strength
’of one poll ud of the purple to 80 gal
lon* of water. The result of Ihls ex
periment was more satisfactory, the
worms being effectually destroy! and,
and the foliage not matnriatiy injured.
He now* recommends a mixture of
one pound of purple to 80 or 90 gallons
of water.
The details of the experiment were
quite simple and may easily be im
proved upon by the exercise of a lit
tle ingenuity. The pump was car
ried and operated b* one by one per
son and the poisonous raiyjpre in a
bucket bv an assistant, operating on
eight stows at a time.
In igfger qperations, a'lmrrol con
taining the mixture mar be mounted
on the axle of a pair of wagon wheels
and connected with the pump by
means of a flexible rubber tube.
The London purple may bn bad at
most drug stores at about sixteen
cents per pound. It doe* not dissolve
ih Water, and the mixture must be fre
quently stirred up lo prevent set
tling. The pumps or sprinklers may
be bad at any large household fur
nishing store.
If inconvenient lo procure London
purple, Paris green will answer the
purpose equally as well, using one
pound well atirred in
of cheap fionr, and sprinkle (lie same
on the plant while wet with dew.
through a flno cloth. The purple,
however, coal* less, per acre, and may
he more expendiiiotily applied. Twen
ty-five gallon* of the poisonous water
will be sufficient for one acre accord
ing to the estimate Of Mr Rogers.
The experience of every cotton plan
ter whose crop ha* suffered from cat
erpillar visitations in the past will
enable him to locate the portion of the
field where the worms will first ap
pear and there to commence opera
tions assoon as a few become visible.
It 1* important to destroy the first
and second broods, and thus practi
cally limit the third and latter broods
lo such small number* that no materi
al damage will result. The cost of
material ond appliances, and the
amount of labor required to effectual
ly check the progress of the caterpil
lar, Is so small, that a planter who
permits his crop to be destroyed or
materially injured, is without excuse.
It is new cheaper, being offered in
Atlanta at ten centspcr pound.—Com

Tnisyear’e assessments of property
for taxation in New Orleans show
the valueof property in the city to be
#124,976,778, an increase of #10,347-
964, or 9 per cent oyer last year. The
Tinies-Domocrat says that “the great
er portion of this increase i* due* to
tlie more thorough and efficient work
of the assessors, the discovery of prop
erty that had hitherto avoided taxa
tion, and ihe increase in personal
property discovered, the cash value
of merchandise, money loaned, etc.”

VANDERBILT’* OUAT WJSALTH.
A Xew York correspondent of thej
Indianapolis Journal speak* as fo!-j
low* about the wealth of Willian H.j
Vanderbilt:
, “His wealth is largely in Govern-j
ment bonds and railroad securities.
He lake* an inventory of his wealth j
once a ye*f. In January, 1883. bc i
told a friend that he was worth 1194*.
000.000, and added: “I am the rlcheß
man in the world."
In Kuglsnd, the Duke of We*t3
minster it said to bo worth #200.000.
000,#>utit is mostly in house* and
land*. It doe* not pay him two per
cent.” Thie was an unusual outburst
of boastfnfneae on hie part. A year
ago be had #.>4,000,000 ip Govern
ment 4 per cent, bond*, but the
amount wa* afterwards reduced to
#35,000,000, partly fbr the purpose of
aiding Ms eon*, who lost #16,000,0u0 in
Wall street speculations. Later qn,
however, he purchased aboat #IO,OOO,
000 mere of the 4 por cents. *d he
has beside# #4,000,000 in the Govern
ment bonds that pay him 3'f per cent.
His Government bonds are worth as
perr as can be stated, #79.0004100. He
owned, a year ago, #240,1100 share* of-
Michigan Central; 300.000 share* o#
Chicago Jc Northwestern: 300,000
share* of Lake Shore: 90.090 shares
in the Chicago A Rock Ishtnd Rail
Road; 29.909 shares in other railroads
so that in ah he held, approximately,
810,000 share* of railroad stock. A
large part of these stocks he still
owns, though he is reported lo hare
sold considerable Lakeßhere stock.
He owns #21000.000 worth of mfl
r>ad bend*, it 1* said, beside* #3,200,
000 worth of State and City Bonds,
ami ho* #2/100.000 in varione manu
facturing sun k* and mortgage*. He
values Ms house on 6th Avenue S
#3,000,000; the Art rattery being
worth, with It* content*. #1,0094)01).
He sold Maud 8. tv #49,000 hrtt year.
Hl*ordinary expen*** in a year, he
ha* said, were #2004#. but “hi* boll.”
given in 1888, cost him #49.969 extra.
Mrs. Vanderbilt's diamonds are valu
ed at #176,000. He Wear* rone Him
self. A Wall street statistician. In
referring to Mr. Vanderbilt'* weal h,
said: "From hi* Government bonds
he draw #2.375.909; from Hroed
•lock* and bonds. #7,3#5,#00; from
miscellaneous eecurttiee, #576,t)0;'
total In round number*, # 19,350,000 a
year. His earning* are thus #2B.#ot>

a minute.
This wa* n year or more ago, when
his wealth wa* computed at #200,000,
000. The mine of his securities Imm
“decreased” since through the "herd
times.” The depression In trade ha*
not improbably reduced his wealih
nearly #SOi4JO(W)t)O, but hie fortune
and hla Income are, of roorae, still
fabulous.
TU UV HAXX BO* IT.
The Hebrew word “sbeol,” ha*
lately been brought into prominence
by being tubstitwted in the revised
verson of the Old Testament for the
familiar “lleU." It w<mhl appear
that the revisers could not find as
English expression for “sheol" which
satisfied them, end 'therefore they
have transcribed it just aa It aland*
in the Hebrew text. Originally, how
ever “hell” Ilka the Greek “hadea,”
wa* the exact equivalent of “sheol,”
both being tha designation of a vast
hollow, or cavern, under tbe earth
where the apirit* of tbe dead were
supposed to dwell, not in torments,
but stdl in darkness and discomfort
The place of punishment was called
by the Hebrews in the later days
“Uchenßa," from the name of the val
ley near Jerusalem, where rubbish
and ordure were east and whtre fires
were kept burning to purify the air.
The Idea of “betl" as a place of tor
ment, i* a modification of the origin
al conception, but it ba* become so
firmly established that the word no
loeger answer* to the Hebrew “eheel”
and has therefore, properly been dis
carded by the rerieers.—New York
Sun.

There were several dozen of the hy
gienists in council, each with his in
dividual hobby. Each thought all
the others were wrong. Each was
sure that his own hobby was the only
correct one. A gentleman present
said he had taken Brown's Iron Bit
ter* for debility and dyspepsia, and,
though he didn't want to make a
fuss about it, he knew the use of this
great tonic to be better than all the
notions lie had beard advanced in tlie
council. One practical cure is worth
thousands of guesses and notions.
Thousands of happy convalescents
speak gratefully of Brown’s Iron
Bitters.
It is probable that the JewUJi citi
zens of Atlanta will give some puplie
■ expression to thcr regret at the death
of Sir Moses Montcfiorc.
