U'sstio in Cniao* cv a InoMonvs—A
yeaog loestlo ran ihr engine “Gonrdin” on the
South Carolina Kstlroed the other day, and
give it snob n turn as it never had before. Tbo
boy knew something scoot engines, and, when
nobody was looking, jumped aboard the “Goar-
•lie,” open'd tbe throttle-valve as wide na pos
sible, and then went down tbo ringing grooves
like lightning, lie blew the whletlo at each
crossing, knocked over one or two oars, and
only stopped wbon his engine gave on!, and
1 oiling np prepentlTely to raking
e new start. He was not captured, for he had
tbo demon of speed In him, and mado for tbe
woods, beyond ell endeavor of sane man lo
etch him.
Tu following eurioos epeoimen of Jspsnoso
English was received by the superintendent of
e San Frsnoiseo street railroad from a gentle-
Mr. Davie* Historical Society Speech,
which fs construed by some of the leading Bad-
leal paper*of tbe North aa a declaration of ua
di ing war against tbe dominant Slates, pleases
those people mightily, They here not read
anything ftr a long time which appear* to do
than so couch good.
01 course, a* the “friends and defenders of
the Union per excellence" they feel a great deal
or inusard regret at anything which indicate*
the perpetuity of disunion sentiments amd
longings in eight millions of white people of
the United States. Of oonrte they are bound
to feel regret, or oonfea3 themselves ahameless
hypocrites, who are merely trading in Union
sentiments end don’t like to have them too
common no ae to impair the market.
But candor oompels m to say that if they
feel any grief, they bide it completely. They
rejoloe over their Interpretations of Ur. Davis’
speech “ae one who findeth great spoil.” They
prooced to argue at length that these are the
true sentiments not alone of Ur. Davie, bnt of
every Southern man, women and child, negroes
alone excepted, and all tbe telk’of newspapers
and pnbllo men of tbe South that they ere wil
ling to live quietly and peaceably under lb* lews
end government of the Union Is arrant hypoc
risy. Ur. Davis tells the truth and ell the rest
ere lien.
Now a man believes just what ho wants to
believe. These peddlers in Unionism want to
believe that every Southern white man is hoe
tile lo its existence—why! Because they hare
need that opinion to fill their own pockets, and
they hope to use it for that purpose a good
wbilo longer. If the; really cared for tbe Urn
ion Ihry would be slow in accepting any one
man’s testimony egalnst tbe ooncnrrent voice
of pnbiio prints, legislatures and conrentlone.
The proposition wonld seem preposterous. But
wishing to believe, end wishing their party end
their readers to believe tbit the Federal Union
will be perpetually menaced, down to tho end
of lime, by the Southern whites, and therefore
it wilt be necessary to repress the people and
keep them under a qxsel military domination,
they wonld aooept any one man’s testimony
against tbo voioe of tho people.
And this illustrates the true spirit of that
corrupt and selfish party. They would gladly
redoes tbe Union party down to the ten thou
sand leaders end fuglemen, if they could safely
do it, end then divide the spoils per ospltum.
When it corass to dividing tbe spoils tbe fewer
tbe Union men tho bolter and the heavier tbe
dividends. The war for the Union now has
taken the form of Treasury grab.
THE GEORGIA FBEH.
A Hob or Hsu ok tbk Bsupsoe. — Tbe
Memphis Appeal thus reports some remarks
made at Grenada by Ham Carter, a Mississippi
negro loader: “It happens," said Ham, “that
yon, not we, must succumb. You may not like
it, bnt there is no help for you. We havo the
nnmbers, and do not propose to yield an inch.
Yon may think this Bsdioal, half negro, half
carpet-bag mongrel government, as yon call it,
insufferable. It will become more and more
intolerable to yon. Yon mast odneate all these
colored people. We make you pay now for
four mouths* schooling for our children; yon
shall pay for nine months' per annum. You
mast stand aside, too, and be satisfied to see us
msnage sll tho affairs of tho county and State.
You don't like it I see you don’t," continued
11am, “and if you can't bear it and ean't get
into that new State of beatitude you were fix
ing np at Jaekson, Tennessee, a few days ago,
let me advise yon, young man, let me urge yon
affeotionately—go west”
And aa another illustration of tbe prliry of
conciliating tbo o>operation of tbe negroes,”
tsbo tbe following from the Bicbmond Whig:
A leading Virginian statesman, who to day
Andrew Hammett was found guilty of *ha
murder of Mr. Boekmore in Wilton Superior
Court on Thursday, and on a recommendation
to mercy by tbe jury was sentenced to the peni
tentiary for life.

with a good word for Maoon and her reeonreea.
Her jobbingtnds is a steady, solid traffic. The
house of Boas Jt Coleman alone sold a million
dollars worth of dry goods last season, and will
do even better this year. There ere other firms
there who do equally as welL Tho dry goods
jobbing trade of Maoon extends over a large
area throughout Eastern and Southeastern Ala
bams, West and Middle Florida, Southwestern
Georgia and other parte of the btate. In addi
tion to this branch of trade, the provision bosi-
neaa there baa become in enormone item in the
commercial statistics of the State. Maoon has
everything in her favor. A united community
of business men, a wide and prolifio field to
work in, end unsurpassed facilities are ergu-
menta In favor of Macon which cannot be set at
naught by envious rivals.
Tnz Savannah Chamber of Commerce, on
Wednesday, adopted the resolutions of the
Maoon Board of Trade, which, in cnbatenoe,
pledgee the former body lo tbe support and en

Tax Noetu Gzoeqia Oottob Clop.—The
CartertersTille Standard end Express says
The cotton crop in this section is fine in ap.
p-eranco—too fice in onr judgment, for the
weed Is so luxuriant and large that it will be an
acoident if half of the bolls will open. It al
ready 00vers the ground completely, and effect-
ualiy exoludes the sun and air from tbo mass of
fruit on the lower limbs; and failure ini dis
appointment we fear will be tbe result, if some
measures are not adopted to let in the sun and
air.

Govs&bobs Burrs and Josbson.—Under this
head, tbe Colnmbus Sun takes the following
extraordinary view of tbo meaning of cx Gov.
Johnson’s last letter:
close of tho last canvass, to satisfy hiunelf,
approaobed a leading old colored mao, whom
be bad known from boyhood, with the follow
ing toqulry: ‘Uncle Jseob, toll me candidly
why did yon all go for Grant as against
Greeley, yonr life-long friend?’ Uncle Jsoob,
hesitating awhile—’Because you white people
went for him.' White Virginian—'Suppose we
bad all gone for Grant, what then?’ Uncle
Jaoob, promptly—‘then master, wo would
have gone for Greeley.’ And yet it Is the white
man cf Virginia who draw the line of oolor.”
Old Corruption Cameron on Grant and tbo

A Herald correspondent who bw been spend
ing a few days at Bedford Spring*, Pa., found
old Corruption Cameron there »nd straightway,
after the msnnsr of his kind, prooeeded to in
terview him. In Tepiy to a question what he
though of the third term Agitation, old Corrup
tion said:
While a third term is possible I cannot think
it probable. I sgreo with the Herald in the prin
ciple it makes, that no matter bow good and pa-
triotio a President may be the oonititntion
should not be so framed as to make the people
depend on the magnanimity or patriotism of any
to Speln, who wanted to irqnlra into the **
posiibUtty or introdnoiog street cars in Yeddo:
"Sir, I heard that yon were railroad oumpany.

Buies House of representatives, who lives Deer

and a trnor patriot or more ooneoientiuns and
bonsat man does not live. I wonld trust him to
any extreme; bnt, then, as the Herald says, we
may not alwavs hive a Grant in the chair, and
it in
aoaxBvr mx fbxbcxx-xxs or thus libkbtt
to depend for onr right* on the magnanimity of
one man. Bnt I cannot think it possible that
Grant wants another term. He has often ex
pressed to me a wish to get bsok to his farm—
away from tho cares of office, where he might
enjoy peace and qnietneae for the remainder of
his life. Hie amoition has been satisfied. He
has been the commander of tbe largest armies
the world ever sew, and stand* with W**hing-
ton, Jr {Tenon, Jackson and Lincoln In seeming
the suffrage* of the people. Th«°.J>» has been
prudent in his investments, which wtU give him
an ample competenoe to live on. No, I cannot
believe that he will be a candidate for a third
term; and ae for the office-holders around him
forcing and flattering him into running again,
I don't fear, aa he is not the soon to be moved
by either force or flattery; and yet we oannot
ted what may happen.
UBCOut'a Dxa.'ax.
Lincoln was Grant'* counterpart in patriotism
and honesty, and yet I know thatit washis desire
that he should have a third term. Seward and
Stanton were for a third term, »nd the policy of
the administration was to have been shaped to
ttut end.
Correspondent—Why, thi* i* not generally

Senator Cameron—I don’t know how well

nor Johnson will call cut a reply from Gov.
Smith, and that tbo unpleasant controversy be
tween tbcm will be resumed. We hope not,
and really we do not eee any oocaaion for it.
We do not understand er-Governor J. aa mak
ing any charge of deception against Governor
Smith, and until be daea ao, we think that the
Governor may very properly let the oorre-
spondenoo cease. The ex-Governor’a denial
that he intended in hie previona letter to acquit
Governor 8. of a “rumored’’ charge of decep
tion towards himself, does not amount to an
affirmance or endorsement of that charge, and
It seems to na that the Governor wonld be over-
eeuaitive so to aanstrne it.
It strikes ns that onr cotemporary has a very
carious idea of the amount of seisibillty neo-
eatary to render a man amenable to tho charge
of being “overaentltive."
Who Shall wx Sikd to thi Llqiblxtdee ?—
Tbe Athens Watchman has this under the above
bead:
A gentleman informed us the other day, that
after listening to Governor Smith’s admirable
address. In which, among other things, he urged
the people to send their best men to the Legia*
latnre, he asked that gentleman privately how
are the people to know who are their beat mvn ?
The Governor, in anbstanoe, replied: Send
those who do not want to go—men who have
bnalne«* of their own to look after. Yon may
rest well assured that the man who ia moat anx
ions to go is preoisely the man who ought not
to be eleoted. Wo hope tho people will act on
this sound and sensible advice when a no’her
election shall be held. The Governor ia right.
The man most anxious to go ia preoisely the
one who onght not to ba Rent.
But how are yon going to find that out?
The men who aro keenest lo hold office gen
erally protest almost with tears in their eyes
that they don’t wsnt it—that they are “no
politicians”— that they have more business to
attend to than they know how to get through
with—that it wcnld be too great a sacrifloe of
their priralo interests, etc. Why Lord bless
je, Mr. Governor aad Mr. Watohmau, this not
wanting to go is one of tho very commonest
tricks of the hungering, thirsting demagogue.
We thought yon were bettor posted. Yon
mutt find some other recipe for manufacturing
a Legislature of “best men.”
A warns in the Athens Watchman charges
the “city father*’’ of that plaoe with loaning
the oity money—whloh tho writer parenthioally
and plaintively says has been wrung “from the
hard earning* of honest poverty”—to rich
speonlators in Angnsta.

Will it Pat to o> Wot?—The Gwinnett
Herald asks and answers this question aa fol
lows: .
We met a yonng men about a weak sines en
hie return from Texas. Ha informed na that
J, e TU raised in Gwinnett, but about two years
rinoe like a great many of the young men of
the country, got en idea that he must go Wait

there had led him to believe that it w*a a land
flowing with “milk and honey. He aeoord-
ins lett the “old worn ont field** of Georgia,
and after looking around, settled down in Texae.
After two jeon straggling wltt tho chill* aim

baggage end returns to the lend of hie nativity.
He now asya that old Gwinnett, taking every
thing into oonaideration, ia the bast eoantry ha

Thx Star also says that “that spirit of self-

Safety In Oeenn Travel.
Tho loss of the steamship Atlantie, of the
White [Star line, and the City of Washington,
of tbe Inman lme, both of which ran into
shallow water end foundered on the rocks, hss
set inventive minds to thinking whether some
device oonld not be mado to prevent such acci
dents in the fotn’e. One inventor, Mr. E. D.
Gird, of Syracuse, N. Y., has a very simple
plan which bu already attracted the attention
of eome of tbe steamship owners. This plan
is based on the law of apeeifio gravity, which
makes the pressure exerted by a column of
water twenty fathoms deep end much greater,
of coarse, then that exerted by a column only
four or five fathoms In depth. Tho apparatus
oonslsta of abollow lino or flexible tube, at the
lower end of which is a weight and an air-
chamber, with a pisiou, upon the outer surface
of which the pressure is received. The upper
end of this tabs is attached to tbo ship in tbe
engine room, and a pre;.snre-gnage, resembling
an “aneroid” barometer, indicates constantly
tbe depth at which the weight is depending
with as much accuraoy, it ia claimed, as the
steam guage indicates the pressure on the
boiler. As the vessel nears land tbe air-cham
ber comes towards the scrfaoe, the pressure be
comes less, and the resnlt is told by the guage,
which ia constantly beforo the eyes of tbe en
gineer. An alarm bell is also attached to the

Tito Nlacara Tragedy—An Appalling
Tragedy.
Mack’s Niagara Letter to tbe St. Louis Democrat]
I have bad the curiosity to inquire a good
deal about the young people who went over the
falls in a host about six weeks ego. The trag
edy hss boeH well written and universally read—
how a young man, with his intended bride and
her brother, hired a boat a few miles above,
and, in attempting a pleasure ride, were car
ried into the current and swiftly dashed over
the falls. I yesterday visited tbe place where
the boat was hired, and talked with many who
were familiar .with all the inoidents of the aad
happening. I was astonished to hear them
all agree that on the part of tbe prinoipal aotor
in tbe maltor, it vn h coo cf deliberate eni-
cide. He bad ran away frem home with his
father's money, and was shout to make a for
bidden marriage. Ha had got his license, and
was to have been married that afternoon. He
proposed a boat ride, to whiob his intended
bride and her brother contented. He hired the
boat in what ia called Chippewa creek, wbioh
emptie* into the Niagara liver, abont two miles
above the falls. Ho was warned of the danger,
ons onrrent in tho middle of the river, and said
be had no intention of going into it, hot pur
posed to stay in tbe oreek, or oonfiae himself to
tbe quiet water along tbo shore of tbe nver.
He pulled directly for the middle of the stream,
which he knew to be inevitable death, and when
the strong onrrent struok the boar, and headed
her for the rapids and the falls, he made no
effort to avert his fate. A young xnan who
saw it all aBsnred me yesterday tbst it was
clsar oaae of intentional destruction—and
that after the strong current had been reaoh-
thtre wns still Fulvatiuu possible in
steering from tbe shore before she had strnck
tbe rapids, but that no effort of the kind was

Ibe Miserere nt »l. Pelrr’it.
From Emilio Oaatoiar’a Now Work ]
There is one Rrand and BUblime ceremony,
the Mteerere of St. Peter’s. The mcB'o ia ex
quisite, the effect surprising. Borne saw, in
the sixteenth century, that Protestantism
surpassed her in music, sa aho excelled Pro
testantism in tbs arts of painting, sculpture
and architecture Vo prevent this inferiority,
she naturally sought » maider of song, and
found the anbiimo Pdeatitna tbo Michael
Angelo of the lyre. Tuo Pope forbade the re-
production of hi* Miserere, in order that it
should bo heard oaly lu that ohorch whose
gigantic arches were «nnp!ot« ly in Larcuocy
with its sublimity. Oa* day a u< too joatb
heard entranoed iLe Miserere. Th - ' outb,
who may be celled tbo ltsphael if masie,
learned it by heart and divulged it to ths
world. HswaiMi’Zin. The German peaiua
camo to steal tho secrets of too Lilin
genius in the eternal war between both
raoc*. No pen can d» scribe the solemnity
the Miserere! The night advances.
The Basilica is in darknera. Her altars un
covered. Through the open arches Ultra pene
trates the uncertain light of dawn, which
seems to deepen the dark shadows. The latt
taper of the tenebrario ia hidden behind the
altar. The oatbedral resembles an immense
mausoleum, with the faint gleaming of funeral
torches in the distance. The music of the Mis
erere ia not instrumental. It is a anbiimo choir
admirably combined. Now it oomes like tbe
far-off roar of the tempest, aa the vibration of
the wind upon the ruins or among the cypresses
of tombs; again, like a lamentation from the
depths of the earth, or a moaning of heaven's
angels breaking into sobs and corrowfnl weep
ing. The marble statnes, gigantie and of daz
zling whitenes, are not completely hidlen by
the darkness, but appear like the spirits of past
ages coming ont the sepnlohres and loosing the
shroud to join the intonation of this canticle of
despair. The whole church is agitated, and vi
brates a* if word* of horror were arising from
tbe stone*. This profound and sublime
lament, this mourning of bitterners dying
away into airy circles, penetrates tbe heart
by the intensity of its sadness; it is tbe
TOice of Borne supplicating Heaven from
her load of ashes, ae if under her aackoloth she
writhed in her death agony. To weep tiros, to
lament ae the prophets of old by the back' of
tha Euphrates, or among ths scattered stones of
tbe Temple, to sigh ts this anbiimo cadence, be
comes a city whole eternal sorrow baa not
marred bar eternal beauty. Thus she ia eu
slaved. David alone can be her poet. Her
oantiele ia majestio and nnequaled. Borne!
Borne 1 thou art grand, tbon nrt immortal even
in thy desperation and abandonment! The
hnman heart shall be tby eternal altar, although
the faith that has beeu tby prsitige shall pen
ish, aa the oocqusata that made tby greatness
have departed! None can rob thee of thy God-
given immortality, which tby pontiffs have sns-
atained, and which tby artists will forever pre
serve.
The Badieal pro lent. President of
the Utailed states Senate.
Tbe Chioago Times has the following pen
photograph of the Hon. Matt Carpenter, one of
tha honorable Senators from Wisconsin, and if
Grant and Wilson shonld die, the xnan who
wonld preeide at the White House. It’a a lively
picture for the Yonng Men’t Christian Associa
tion and other trooly loyl and piotts people of
the Badieal persuasion to oon template:
An illustrious visitor shook the dost of the
Garden City from off his feet on yesterday. He
left for the happy hunting ground* of the grass-
grown streets of Milwaukee, and took with him
no regrets from the inhabitants of Chicago. He
passed through the oity, as one-third of the
travellers in thia world do, only to admire its
beauties and marvel at its unparalleled pro
greas; he left it, hurriedly, for the oily’s good,
illustrious and infamous at onoe; the incarna
tion of the seven deadly sins; the third in sno-
oeasion to the throne of the United States; and
the chief of sinners. A compound of cuticle,
bone, and muscle; a mixture of wit; sot de-
banohee, and gambler; the third oemmoner
in the realm, and more oommoa than any;
wearing the livery of society, and work
ing in the interests of the devil. He
registered himself, in a bold hind, as “Matt
H. Carpenter, Milwaukee,” and was not re
quired to pay in advanos. Bnt then ha brought
uinch luggage, and his back-pay scrip was not
all nsed np in haek fares at Long Branch.
Matt Carpenter ia a pnblio man, a good deal
in th* eame way that many a brazen huzzy is a
public woman. He la public property, aa muoh
ao aa the lowest Cyprian. He quotes scripture
freely, and is strong on the nse of dash words;
bnt Ids researches in the holy word never got
beyond the recital of the doings cf Susannah
and the elders, and the way the weak-kneed
nsaimist went for the gorgeooa blonde, Mrs.
Uriah. At odd times be goes to tbe play, bnt is
very even in hia attendance on the opera
bonffc. The ballet, he thinks, is “ devilish
good,” and whisky punches the care for all ills.
He is a great drinkor, and from hia early days
consecrated himself to the bottle. He narrow
ly escaped death onoe by refusing to relinquish
his hold on a demijon of bonrbon, and was
ever after under Uie control of democratic
ideas. He made a powerful constitutional
speech oo oue occasion, and lay around help
lessly drunk for days on another. His hair is
fluffy and hia wit weak, bnt his back ia as broad
as the road that leads to destruction, and his
red orba twinkle under heavy eyebrows, as did
the light in the burning bush thst soared the
first geologist. Matt ia held in high respect by
absent friends, and is damned by moat of those
who oome near him. He is magnetlo in his
attraction, and will lie ton missionary colleotor
and give buttons to n blind disciple with as
easy nonobalanoe aa he reoeivea back pay cr
preaohes a temperance leetnre. His ability as
a poker player wonld stamp him aa one of the
pasteboard nobility, and the way he pnllb in
the Jack in “seven-up” is prims facie evidence
of hia relationship to the great prototype of
knaves.
PUBLIC SALE GRANDEST SCHEME EVER KNOWN!
It. D , a distinguished I’reach advocate, was
recently condaoting a suit for separation
brought by a woman against bsr husband.
Tbe counsel for the latter having exhausted
his stock cf arguments, proceeded to read to
the court a number of letters written by his
client to the plaintiff before their marriage,
copies of which hid previously been served
upon his opponent “The oourt shall de
termine,” fce oiled, “whather the writer of let
ters glowing with so pure and tender a £tme
of love could be otptble of commuting the
enormities charged against him.” M. D.,
quietly placed an open volume upon tbe
Judge’s desk, observing aa his opponent began
to read, “The court would perhaps like to fol
low the text.” The letters hid been stolen
from Bonsseaa’* “Ncuvelle Heloise.”
Another Application lo Caterpillars.
The Tallahassee Floridian of last Taesday
suggests another dose for tho oo'.ton caterpillar
in the following:
Ksbocebz Oil.—Experiments havebeen mado
in this oonnty upon the caterpillar with kero
sene oil, and it is found to do splendidly, at
least for tbe time. Tbe worms keel over as
readily and completely as with the Paris Green
or Arsenio, and it seems that it is nothing but
tbe smell of tbe oil which kills them. At least
so say thoso who havo tried it. Tha oil oan be
diluted so aa to make oue gallon do for an aore
of cotton, which rednoes the oost to something
like 20 or 25 cents an aore. It ia only necessary
to threw in a little lime or other alkali to make
tbe oil mix with the water, and yon have the
thing acmplete.
With the oil remidy, the Paris Green, Ar
aenio and other com pounds which will no donbt
bo disoovered, we think it ia sife to prediot that
the day or the caterpillar haa past and the peat
will hereafter be numbered among tbe many
terrible ev.ls which have at different periods
enrstd tbe race and blighted the labors of man.
Point Cleab Luck.—A correspondent of the
Mobile Bsglater tantalizes up country people
with a report of an am&tenr marooning expedi
tion from Point Clear:
And such luck aa they had 1 What a 1st of
iPL 1 .titi n /L thir.Ji ibyv u heoA'rbr J rvhoreu twnU

homewards, well laden in baskets, there to lay
aside their fisher gtrb and pnt on oivitized
suits.
Tueue is a town in Kennebeo ocuoty, Miioo,
whore one man holds the offiio of Grand Master
of tho Grand Lodge of Masons, Noble Grand
of an Odd Fellows’ Lodge, President of a
Yonng Men’s Christian Association, Superin
tendent of three Sunday-schools, Justice of the
Peace, and foreman of a jury, besides holding
official position in three distinct Temperance
organizations, and attending to hia regular
business aa an insurance agent. That now ia
the eoxt of man to play a hnrdy-gnrdy with
one hand and a fiddle with tho other, a bag
pipe wilh hia elbow, and a brass dram with
one foot, while he whistled an aooompani
ment and nsed hia spare foot to kiok a dog,

A Trade-Union Sample.
Tne strike of sixty men in a single rolling-
mill in Ghioago, says the Commercial Adverti
ser, a few days ago, threw fifteen hundred men
ont of employment. This may havo been fan
to the sixty, but It was very hard upon the re
maining fourteen hundred and forty. All be
longed to a Trade-UnioD, and when the s-xty
quarrelled with their employers on a question
of ten cants’ pav, the others had to “go ont,” or
be tabooed and persecuted. It was a signal
illustration of tbo beauties of tho Trade
Union system. The rebellions sixty were
finally beaten, and returned to their work, but,
in tho interval, the fourteen hundred and forty
stood unwillingly idle, while their families
wanted bread. That is to say, oounting the
usual average of five persona to a family, more
than seven thousand persons were left to suffer
while the sixty strikers fought ont ths battle
with the masters. The Chioago Inter Oosan
says this Union of the iron-wotkers “is one of
the strongest organizttions of its charaoter in
the count'V, being seoond only to the Typo
graphical Union in capability to enforce iu or
ders.” The injustice and tyranny of the whole
system ia exhibited in a very strong light in
this instance.
Thx Floeida Oottob Chop.—The Floridian
of the 19th says:
The caterpillar, wo believe, remains abont in
tfafu quo. Several planters have been eaten
entirely ont, and many others are apt to be.
Tbe crop, it is thought, will turn out mnoh bet
tor than last year, though nothing like it prom
ised a ehoit time ainee. Three or fonr weeka
ago, the prospec: for a largo erop was perhaps
finer than any year since the snrrender. A very
large quantity of improved seed was planted,
and tha erop had been well cultivated and was
fruiting finely; but alaa for human calculations
man proposed, but the caterpillar has dia-
posed almost aa fully aa usual.
There seems to be no doubt that the “poison
business” will pay, and next year the planters
will take time bv the forelock and get the start
of the worm. Bnt query—how many of us will
go under between now and then?
Doss Putt describes tbe British House of
Peers as “a body of men exceedingly qaiet and
unpretending in manner, not remarkably strik
ing in countenance, and to badly dressed that
it seemed an affectation.”
