"Heavens what an angel is Fanny Wilding!''
Had she ever refused an offer Of marriage?-No!
for palpable reason--nobody had ever made her |
ono. She was like fine frcwork, entertaining |
to look at, but dangerous to come too near her
bouncing and cracking in the open air gave lus- |

THE GRUB OR CUT WORM.
The farming interests of this country, have |
long and Intellectually sought for some mode to
the depreciation of this worm, so destructive
to the prospects Of agricultursts in the staple
article of Indian corn The writer Of this, is fully
confident from analogy that the following if care
fully adopted will perfectly secure the corn against
the influence of any insect or worm, accustomed
to injure it, viz
Take one gallon of common fat or slusb, and one
quart of spirits Of turpentne, let them be put to-
gether IN tight barrel, (having one head out,
and being well stirred, add half a bushel of un-
Stacked lime. In this condition, the lime should
be carefully Stacked, and intimately mixed with
the other ingredients, and water gradually added
until the barrel is full
As soon as the corn makes its appearance above
the ground let portion of the mixtures be applied
by means OF a common watering pot to the amount
OF about a teacuP full to each hill Of corn, and
there IS scarcely doubt but the worm will vacate
the indentical spot from the adherence that all
kinds OF worms and insects have to even the very
smell Of turpentine.

bout the collar or lower part Of the STOCK and par
ticulariy in the spring. The worm is then below
the surface, and the rain which percolates through
the ashes, becomes ley, which settling into the
worm holes destroys the insect. Whatever pre-

in the spring, that the frosts of winter may de-

The FRENCH INDEMNITY GoLD-There has
been a good deal of inquiry among the claimants
under the French Indemnity, as to the fate ofthe
gold that ,ras imported at their erpcnsc but
which never came into their hands, The follow
ing extracts Of letters from REUBEN Nj. Wurr-
NEY to JOHN A. WILLIS, ESQ., Cashier of the
Farmers and Mechanics Bank at Detroit Mich
igan, throw some little light upon the subject:
july 8, 1896.
DEAR SIN: You will be informed by the Treas
ury Department that the Indian Department will
have occasion, between this and the LIST of October
Tor from seven to eight hundred thousand dollars
1 n md Mr. u... &C
day that he should want from two hundred to two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars of the amount
IN specie. 10 meet this, it has occurred to me
! that YOU will have to send abroad for specie.
have, therefore, thought proper to inform YOU
no1 gos6' :" almost any quantity, be had at the
Bank Of America, at Ncr York, ,chich has been
received from France, and is andcr the control Of
the Treasury Department; and l would recon-
mend that the two deposite banks at Detroit mite
together and send to New York, and obtain TWO
OK THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, with
which to meet the wants of the Indian department.
1t viii be GOOD POLICY for the banks to do So as it
will be aiding in carrying out one of the perna-
nent measures of the Admins trtion-that of cir
culating gold.
If you should conclude to adopt these suooes-
lions, please inform me- and will obtain such n.
struct'ons as will enable you to obtain the gold
without difficulty gnu
! Yours, truly

1t appears from these letters that il was never
the intention OF the Government to give the bene
mt OF this gold to its real owners vas imported
1t the e[Pcsce Of tie claimanfs to be circulated
through the country in aid Of the deposite banks
, and to swell the glory Of the Administrator.
One fact, mentioned by Mr. Webster. in his
speech at Wheeling, is especially worthy Of the
calm and deep reflection Of the American peoole
The charter Of the first Bank of the United St.,es
expired IN 1911, and in a single year, specie nav
ments were suspended throughout the country
The charter Of the United States Bank exp;red e
1886, and again, IN single year, specie payment &
have been suspended throughout the countrv.-
