THE BOIL WORM AND CATERPIL-


A planter of this county showed us, few
days ago, branches of cotton stalk from which
he thinks he has obtained clue to the origin of
the cotton worm or caterpillar which has. of
late years, so ser ously injured the cotton crops.
The stalks are perforated on the Interior and
on breaking them open small louise or dor
mant chrysalis is found in great numbers The
gentleman who showed them to US conf ctures
that the moth or cotton butterfly deposits its
eg on The leaves and in the stalk of The cot
ton plant. From the former come the cater
pillars which devour the green cotton, and the
latter serve 10 perpetuaie The race. If these
conjectures be true, and tliey seem to us ex-
ceedinglv probable, our planters have it in their
power to exterpae the caterpillar They have
only to gather the cotton stalks off their fiolds
and burn them, and thus destroy the egg or
chrysalis which perpetuates the caterpillar
race. Our informant states that the stalks are
full of these embryo creatures, and he intends
% verify or refute his conjectures BY placing
some Of the stalks in positions in which he
can observe the development of the chrysalis

Wnman,s Prarogatiua.

We heard a story the other day which
may be worth repeating. 1t was Of very
amiable and very valuable married lady.
She took her seat IN the railroad car, be-
side her husband, and departed for the an
cient town Of Badensburg. Before the
cars were well under way, she discovered
on the seat before her an old female ac-
quaintance, and as soon as the formalities
of delighted recognition were over, they
began conversation, if that can be dee
med such wherein one party is sole talker
and the other sole listener! Suddenly the
cars stopped.
Oh my, said she, and on she went, in
continuation of her attenuated narrative.
Step OUT my dear. said the husband.
Just wait, said the lady parenthetically
and on spun the thread of her story.
The cars are starting, my dear. said the
indulgent husband.
Ask them to stop one minute, said the
eloquent lady.
Chew-chew-chew! began the engine.
You'll be carried 10 Baltimore, shouted
the bewidered husband, as he appeared to
recede in the distance.
Oh, oh! screamed the lady.
Oh! the lady's husbands left, shouted
some of the passengers.
| don't think the lady herself's right re-
piled a gentleman who had note to take
up that day at the Union Bank, in Balti-
more.
Oh my! let me out! screamed the dis
tressed lady.
By all manner of means. said the gen.
tleman who was starring at the apparition
of protest.
Give me your hand madam. quick. said
the conductor, as he jumped the lady to
the side of the road and in an instant re-
gained the platform.
You've got long mile to foot it back
wards, you have, shouted young gentle
man from the car window. But just as
the noise of the enginery began TO grow
thick with its .chew-chew-chew, the lady
ran up TO the side Of the car. opposite to
where she had been sitting, and shouted
to her acquaintance inside

Old Maids

Blessings on them! We love to converse
with lady who has been denounced as
an old maid, by the ignorant and the
thoughtless She is kind, substantial, intel
Iigent and correct. We know Of but few
maiden ladies who have not superior intel
lects-beauliful to gaze upon they may not
be--but they have mental beauty that
cannot fade, that will grow with more
freshness, as Time dims the rosy flush of
youth. What ladies set up business for
themselves and make money? The un-
married. Who are our best female au-
thors! Old maids. Few men appreciate
them-few study their character, and con-
sequently, the most talented Of the fcmae
sex remain in single state. They have
more respect for themselves than 10 hatter

themselves forward to catch a beau, or do
