Dr. Choppin, in the coarse of his re marks before the board, said the epi demic cases here are hibernated from germs left by the epidemic lost season. Such cases haro followed every epidemic during the past thirty years. There will be, perhaps, a few more of these cases, bnt S3 no foreign fever poison has been imported, there is no fear of an epidemic. One case is reported at the quarantine station end two suspicious cases of chil dren on Washington street. Chattanooga, Jaly 31.—This city has quarantined against New Orleans, com mencing August 1. No yellow fever here, nor any suspicious cases. The oity in in good sanitary condition, and tho quarantine is rigidly enforced. No out break of tbe f6var is apprehended. Hamilton Fisn, Jr., in a note to tno New York Tribune, copies from Boynton’s history of WeBt Point the following order from Genera! Washington on the subject of profane swearing. It will not, per haps, bs new to auy reader, bnt it is worth reproducing as the judgment of this great and good man upon a practice so silly and reprehensible that it is dif» ficult, if not impossible, to find or im agine a reason for its wide existence: Headquarters Moore's House. West Point, July 29, 1779. Many and pointed orders have been is sued against that unmeaning and abom inable oaatora of swearing, notwithstand ing which, with much regret, tbe General observes that it prevails, if posiible, tncra than ever ibis feelings are oontlnnally wounded by tbe oaths and imprecations of the soldiers whenever he is within bosring of them, The name of that Being from whose bonctifal goodness we are permitted to exist and enjoy tbe comforts of life, is incessantly imprecated and profaned in a manner as wanton as it is shocking. For the sake, therefore, of reUgion, decenoy and order tbe General hopes and trusts that officers of every rank will nse their Influence and authority to oheok a vies which is as unprofitable as it is wicked and shamefal. If officers would make it an nnavoida ble rale to reprimand, and, if that doer not do, punish soldiers for offenses of this kind, it oonld not fall of having tbe sired effeoi. 1—Prince Jerome gtiapoleon’s nickname of eion-FIcn’ was, it is said, obtained in his childhood at Btnttgart. where be was a great favorite with the late K-.ng William of War- temberg.

Address of Professor J. E. Willet on Entomology In Ita Relations to Horticulture, Before the Horticultural Society, at its Fourth Annual Meeting, July 29th, 1879, Mr. President and Members of the Georgia State Horticultural Society: la my first report on entomology, at your second annual meeting, I presented some thoughts on the origin, distribution and food of insects in general, together with the general methods of keeping them in oheck. I propose, in the present paper to discuss, in a familiar way, a much narrower topic, vis: The insects injurious to the cabbage, the squash and the tomato, with the remedies. INSECTS injurious to the cabbage—OUT WORMS. The first assailant of the cabbage, In the spring, is the ent worm. Harris and Riley describe at least seven cutworms and their moths. In the Northern States the moth comes cat in the summer, lays her eggs in autumn at the roots of plants and dies. The young larvae or cat worms feed on the plants or their roots until, driven down by the cold bslow tbe frost, they become torpid and lie asleep till the spring thaws them out and furnishes them appropriate food. Some ot onr cat worms may pass tho winter in the same way, which will explain their appear ance in the spring long before there is enough heat to thaw ont a moth, or to hatch one of their eggs. Bnt I am persuaded that many cf onr ent-worms pass the winter in the chrysalis stage, and that the moths come forth from them in spring and lay the egge which produce the later cut-worms. Thu3 there may be two broods at th9 Sonth where there only one per annum at the North. The transformations of the cut-worm at the Sonth require some study, as shown by an experiment of mine this spring. I placed, from time to time, grown cut-worms in a flower pot filled with earth and buried in the ground. Soon one moth came forth, but none since. I examined the pot July 16th, af ter, as yon know, an exceedingly hot and dry term. Iexpeoted to find nothing alive, bnt there were one living chrysa lis, one dead chrysalis and seven or eight living cut-worms, the latter, however, sorely shrunken and blanched. One worm had perfected a moth ia a few weeks, while, in two months, two had become chrysalids, and tbe others had undergone no change. REMBDIIS. There is bo remedy worth naming, ex cept digging up the worm!, one by one, where they have cat down plants. CATERPILLARS. The “worms,” which eat holes in the cabbage leaves at intervals dating the snmmer and fall, are tbe laruo or yonag of two white batteiflies. Oar native cabbage butterfly pieris protodice, I saw last fall, but hive caught none this spring or summer. Their caterpillars are of a light green color, and live mostly on the nnder side cf tho leaves. They web np, sometimes on the leaf, but frequently under leaves and trash on the ground.' The butterfly is white, with square black spots on the wings. The male has ton: of these epoto on each fore wing; the female four on each fore wing, together with a notched border of black, and on tbe hind wings a black border and shading of black, Our imported cabbage-butterfly, pieris rapae, is now much more numerous aid destructive. It is the common cabbage- butterfly of Europe, andVas doubtless tho familiar garden butterfly of our ex cellent President, in bis Belgian home. It was first seen in Amerioa at Montreal, in the the ysar 1857. It has been abont Macon, at least, two years past. I have caught it in every month, except Januv ry and February, since last October. The buttoifly doubtless survives the winter in Georgia. The mate has white wings, with one round black spot on each fore wing and on each hind wing; the female has two black spots oa each fore wing and one on the .hind wing. The cater pillar to of an olive color, and has the singular habit of always lying lengthwise, along one of the rib3 of the leaf, on the nppar side. It feeds on the bud-leaves and heart of the cabbage, and is the therelore more destructive than the other worm. This butterfly, being a now comer among up, has outstripped its insect enemies, and is hence so abun dant. But its enemy, an ichnenmen fly, bas been found in Canada and Ver mont, and will Eooa reduco its num bers. Remedies.—Hand-picking of the cater pillar ia one ot the be3t remedies. Hot water, nearly boiling, has bson used suc cessfully. The butterflies are easily kept in check by means of a hand net. the Harlequin cabbage bug. There appeared throughout the South, about tho time of the late war, a new enemy to the cabbage, a black bag rather prettily striped with red and or ange. This wes supposed to have been brought into tbe country, in Eome way, by the Federal army, and was generally dabbed the Lincoln bug. Its history has been studied since then, and tho Murgau- tia histrioniea of tho naturalists is found to have come from the (South instead of the North, being a native of Guatemala, Mexico, Texas aad Arizona. It had been probably kept ia its Southern home, un til the settling of Texas and the south ern belt of States with a civilized popula tion, which had gardens whioh famished it appropriate food. Finding abundant forage then, to the North it began its travel?, which may again be limited by its reaching a climate, whose winters may bs too rigor jas for its survival. It has gone rap’aly from Texas to Missouri in the W*ni, and along tbe gulf and Atlan tic o, .or North as Maryland and Dsla- wru: * It may have been a satisfaction to some, several years ago, to have known that this striped pcBt was going from cs to our Northern friends, instead of com. ing from them to ns. But, I believo we are better tempered now. The rapid spread of this harlequin cab bage bag, from Sonth to North, over thousands of miles,within onr own knowl edge, is to the natnrslist a fact as interesting as the migration of nations is to the historian. We have had, within twenty-five year3, in America, thres great migrations of in sects. First, that of the European cab bage butterfly. It was first seen in Mon treal in 1857; then “>*a New England along the different railroads leading from Canada; in 1870 in New Jersey; then in Philadelphia and Washington; and sub sequently in Georgia. This migration was from north to sooth, and has not been much noticed by ns because of the general resemblance cf this butterfly to onr native one. 8eoond,that of the Colora do potato-beetle. This confineditself to Us native homo in Kansas, Colorado and Da kota, until abont 1859; wben it began to eat tho potato leaves of tho new settlers, and, finding abundant food in tbe Irish potato, traveled eastward at tbe rats of seventy miles a year. It readied tbe At lantia coast in New England abont 1876, and crossed theaoe to Dublin, Ireland, in 1877. This migration was from west to east; and has been a terrible scourge'to the Western, Middle and Eastern States. And, third, that of the barteqnln cab bage-bug, from Bontb to nortb, as just described. The.harlequin is specially noxious, be cause, like all its great olaas, hemiptera, it finds ita food on the same plant alt its life. The caterpillar feeds on the oab* bage, bnt tbe butterfly subsists on honey from many kinds of flowers. A few of the harlequin bugs survive the winter. These lay their eggs on the oabbage and other erro tsrovs plants in ths sp ing. F Q a these eggs hatch young bugs, which suck tbe leaves of the plant, tbtongh all thalr charge, and continue tho same fed. even when they have attained w’njs and maturity of growth. Remedy— Hand {.taking is the only remedy. PLANT LICE. T.o oatbige plant loose, aphis Brassi eae, is so well known as to need no des- oripTo?. By Us nnmten it exhausts young plants, and frequently injures old and vigorous plants. There are many kinds of plant lies. Al most every kind of tree or herb is more or less Infected with a kind peculiar to it self. The dreaded grape philozera be longs to the Aphididae. I will say a few words on two pecnliarities ot tbe Aphi des. The first is an anomaly in their re production, which Is oonflned to very few olasaesof animals. I have known them survive a cold of fourteen degrees, and pass througb the winter. Now suppose one of these hardy females to bj quar tered on a oabbage plant. She will, as soon as the spring Is sufficiently ad vanced begin to prodnoe, not eggs, bnt living young aphides. These young, strange to say, are every one females. In dne time e&oh of these bring forth not eggs, bnt living young, and these young are all wingless females. Tnese prodnoo another brood of females; and so on, through the whole spring and £tunmer. Half a dezsn or more generations are thns prodnoed In six or eight months. Dnring this period the little colony is a mode female republic, with no* a m&te to dis turb the peaoefuljeerenity. If summer were perpetual this Rtrsnge parthenogenesis wonld continue forever, Bntthaooldof autumn breaks tbe spell; winged males appear in the later broods, and the females then lay the first eggs of the whole year. These eggs re main through the winter to be hatched in the next spring. The second pscnl- iarlty of th9 aphides is their friendly re lations with the ant tribe. Whenever ants are seen going np and down grape vines, apple and peach trees, the cotton plant, etc., it will be found that the plant Is infected with aphides; and that the ante seek them out, go among them, and fon dle ard caress them in a very familiar manner. Observations will show, that the ant has a good reason for these tender attention?. Tho aphides secrete a honey-like liquid, whioh they give forth almost constantly from two tabes The ants are fond of this secretion, lap it np most heartily, and, when the aphides are somewhat slow in giving forth the sweet drops, tbey gently remind them by familiar signs. REMEDIES. Tho cabbage plant louse has many natural enemio?. The most deadly of these, aro the meek-looking, gaily-colored lady-bird?. These feed on aphides almost exclusively, throngh their whole lives. I have watched them in crease in the spring, until nearly every nphia-infeotod plant had from two to half a dozen lady-bags; when they and the heat wonld be too much fox the aph ides, and would sweep them away in a few days. The gardener should oherish tho lady-bugs. O.her remedies'are tering infected plants with water nearly boiling hot, and with hot tobacco water, one pound to the gallon. INSECTS INJURIOUS TO THE SQUASH. of THE STRIFED SQUASH BEETLE. When the squash vines pat forth the first pair of teaves, the leaves are attack ed by a small beetle, with two black stripes on each yellow wing-cover; the inner pair of stripes, however, coalescing, eo 03 to form apparently three black stripes along the back. This beetle, Diabratica viltata, perforates the leaves and seems to poison them, so that the plant frequently dies in a few days. At a later period, the beetle will be fonnd hiding abont the root of the plant It is here engaged in laying eggs npon the stem. Wo have probably 3 or 4 broed] of the striped beetle daring the ssason. It hibernates, probably, both as a chrysa lis and as a psifect beetle. Remedies—When the beetle attacks the young vines, prompt hard-picking is the surest remedy. A few minates’ work, for a day or two, will destroy most of the beetles. Ashes sprinkled on tba plants, when wet with dew, seem very distaste ful to the insect. THE SQUASH BUG. When the sqnash vines begin to have a few rough leaves, the well known dark bag, eoreus irislis, called pumpkin bug in the Sonth, begins to be seen on the yonng vines. These have passed through ■the winter. They Boon lay Bmall brown egg3 in patches on tho leaves. From these hatch ash-colored lart to, resembling tho parents in shape, but without wings. They pierce the leaves with their beaks and suck their cap. If the colony on a leaf bo large, tbe leaf wilts, and the whole vine shows their presence, by its sickly appearance. A3 they mature, they collect at the root of the plant, and bore and suck the batk of the stem. Eggs continue to be laid during tho whole season, and brood after brood of larvso ooue forth to vex and annoy the gar- doner. If the bugs be allowed to breed undisturbed, ho soon gives op the field to them in despair. Remediss. As with all enemies, it is best to Etribe early, before tbey have time to marshall thoir forces. Compara tively few equaah-bugs survive the win- te>; but they are the parents of the sum mer host. By keeping vigilant watch, killing the bags, and tabbing the eggs from tbe leaves as fast as they appear, it is not difficult to keep the bags In ohcok. Some reoommend covering the bags; bat, > bytxcladlng otbor insects, whioh carry the pollen from flower to flower, wonld doubtless greatly interfere with the fruit ing cf the sqaaeh. THE EQUAEH LADT-BIRD. Every good role is said to have an ex- caption. So have tho lady-birds. The natnreliats never tire of singing their praises, as lhe tireless, relentless enemy cf aphides. But one lady-bird, at least, In America does not feed on aphideB. It is herbiveion;; feeding mainly on the leaves of the squash, pumpkin and mel ons. The sqnash ladybird, epilachua borealis, is a large hemispherical yellow beetle, with seven large black spots on e*oh wing-oovor. The beetles are first seen feeding on tho leaves, eating ont the psrenobyma, end rednolng tho leaves to a net-work. These beetles have prob ably survived the winter. At a later pa rted thair eggs are laid on the leaves, from whioh come forth curions oval yel low tervee, studded over with rows of haice. Probably two or three broods are produoed in a season. Remedies.—These beetles aro so con spicuous, and so few in number, that they are easily controlled by hand pick ing.- THE (QUASH BORER. I planted no squashes for several years on account of the fatal ravages of a borer which worked insidiously at tbe root, and kilted the vine suddenly and irretrievably in the period of a day or two. Sometimes the vine, when a runner, remained healthy at tho root, bnt was pierced at tho extremity in the bud; two or three inches wilted at first, but in a few days the whole vine succumbed. Every gar dener has had this vexatious experience. This year I planted the patty-pan squash again, in order that I might study this mysterious borer. The mischief at the end of the vices Lai cot occurred this year; and I am not prepared to say whether ths borers are identical or not. My vines ran the gauntlet of the striped beetle and of the cqaaab bag successful ly. In June, however, one vine began to wilt. I immediately examined the stem at the ground, and found a leaf with a hole in ita hollo w Btem. Cutting this off close up to the stem, 1 found a hole lead ing from the hollow leaf stem into the stem of the vine. In this stem were abundant evilences of mischief. The joints had been bored through, and the Btem hollowed out np and down. Abont two ijeh?3 above ground, nicely stowed away inaoavityaad busy feeding, lay the author of tho harm, a piump white grub with a dark head. It was three- quarters of an inch long. I found them of various ages and Bizes In other vines. Altar the exhaustion of the vines by age, heat and the worm?, I examined the earth st the roots, and fonnd the eacoons formed by the grabs after attaining ma turity. These cocoons ware about an Inch long, of a dar£ oolor and formed of grains of osrtb, cemented with a sort of gino secreted by tbe insect. The materi als of the ocooon is tough and leathery. Oao had been formed in a vice, which the grab bad not left. Some empty shells of the brown chrysalids were found on tbe enrfaoe of the earth; the ob-ysaiis of this borer hav ing the unusual power to mate its way cat of the cocoon, end to work its way np throngh two or three Inehee earth to the enrfaoe, where the moth cepes from it To effect this, there ere thirteen rows of small teeth half way aroand the abdom inal segments of the ohrysalis and all pointing towards the tail. Wriggling of the tail, then, wonld foroe the chrysalis heed foremost through the earth. It is probable that the moth gets its head ont of the ohrysalis skin, eats a hvls throngh the ooooon, and then makes its way thesurfaee protected by the ohrysalis skin, where it escapes folly and flies away. Dr. Harris desoribes the moth thus: ‘‘This is oonBptoaons for its orange-ool ored body, spotted with black, and ita hind tegs fringed with long c range col ored and blaok hairs. The hind wings only are transparent, and the fore wings expand from one inch to one inch and a half. It may be seen flying abont the plants.” By placing the eocoo&a In a goblet partly filled with damp earth, the pretty moth may be oanght. Dr. Harris first deeoribed this inseot, and named it egeria cucurlitae. It Is an interesting faot that it belongs to the same genus with the peach tree borer; egeria exitiosa ; the psar tree borer egeria pyri; the grape root berer, egeria polisliformis; and the currant borer, egeria tipuliforme. All have very similar struc ture and habits. Behidie3.—Examine the squash vines early in Jnne. By paring off the lowest leaves at the stalk, and some of the bark, the presence of the borer will be discov ered, and may bs pierced with the knife. If the soil bo then drawn over the Wound the vine will oontlnne to grow. I have described this insect at some length because it is less known than the other sqnash insects and much the most destructive. INSECTS INJURIOUS TO THE TOMATO. The cabbage and squash are perpetn ally harassed by insect enemies, and, when drouth supervenes, frequently die outright. The tomato has fewer enemias but they are interesting. I will describe two: THE TOMATJ WORM. This large green worm, with white Biashes obliqely across the sides, and with a short horn on the tail, is well known to all. It feeds usually on the leaves of the tomato, bat, when pressed for food, devours tbe greon tomato and the stems. It consumes a large amount of food and attains a length of two to three inches. The tomato worm, Macro3 sila Carolina, has & mortal enemy in a small ichnenmen fly, microgasier congre- gala, which deposits its eggs in its bedy. From these eggs batch small grabs whiob feed on the sweet juices of the worm till they attain fall growth, when they eat their way out of the ehranken bod y and spin little white silken cocoons attached to the body of the worm. Fully ons half of the August brood of tomato worms are decked with many of these little pen- dulous silken bells. If one of these worms be placed nnder a tumbler, for a few days, the little ichoneumon files will came forth from thecoceon?. Tomato worms thus pierced never come to matu rity. They should not be crushed, as thereby our valuable little friends, the ichoneumon flies, will also be destroyed. When the tomato worm attains matu rity, it leayes the plant and descends into the earth. Here it casts off its caterpil lar skin, and becomes a long, brown, chrysalis, with a long beak bent down along the side. It resembles somewhat a brown pitoher with a long handle. It passes the winter in this form, and is i’reqnently ploughed np in the garden in the spring. From this chrysalis emerges a large moth, with a very long proboscis. It flies at twilight, sucking tho flowers of tho petunia and of the James town weed; and from its resemblance to tbe ham ming bird, is frequently called the hum ming bird moth.- Every boy is familiar with it. I have not had an opportunity to verify it; bat etomologists agree that tho tomato worm is the same as the tobacco worm, thei great enemy of the tobacco plant. In the . Northern and Eastern States, they have another slightly different tobacco worm, called Macrosila quinquemaeulala. Remedies.—Hand-picking the wormB. Professor Glover recommends that a little cobalt or fly poison in sweetened water, be dropped into the flewers of the Jamestown weed as a poison to the moths. THE BOLL-WORM. Occasionally, a green tomato is eaten by a reddish, tawny caterpillar, one and a balf inches long. It is the boil-worm, heliothis armigera. It is a pernicious feeder, attacking cotton bolls, tho silk and yonng grains of roasting ears of corn, bean?, pumpkins, eto. It is proba bly known all over the world. If one be fed with tomatoes, in a covered vessel holding damp soil, it will, on attaining its growth, go down into the earth, and become a chrysalis, whence in three or four weeks will isane a moth, with pate yellowish wings, each with a dark spot and a blaok transverse band. Remedies.—They do not attack the to mate in each numbers 03 to require ac tive interference. CONCLUSION. This concludes my sketch of the in sect enemies of the cabbage, the squash and the tomato. Let me orga npon all who have gardens, to bestow some atten tion upon tbo insects hero described. This will easily lead to tba observing and destroying of other enemies of oar gar dens and of onr orchards. Especially get yonr boys to take an interest in these matters. Give them this report, should it be printed, and let them seek ont and study out tbe cabbage-butterflies, ths squash-lover, ths tomato-worm, etc., etc.; and, if they have a taste for such things, tho work cf ono year will greatly devel op them. They will find out what eye3 are made for; that tho little insignificant insects aroand n3 aro fall of the greatest wonders; and that in them they can find a lifetime of investigation both interesting and profitable. Just 6uoh work of your boys will give U3, in a few years, intelligent amateur entomologists; aad, maybap, (what we have not, to my knowledge, in the whole South—be it said to onr shame) a native skilled entomologist. As a help in these home studies of home insects, I am glad that there is a good book to be gin with. This is Harris’ “Icsects Inju rious to Vegetation,” illustrated edition by Flint. It was written as a report on noxiooa insects to tbe Massaohnietts Leg islature in 1843, intended mainly for far mers. Flint’s edition is enlarged, and has abont 300 beautifnl engravings. In vest $4 in this work, and, my word for it, this horticultural sooiety will feel the in fluence of the investment bifora five years have rolled aronnd.
