Throughout the whole southwestern portion If
the Union the oat crop has suffered from terrible
blight which, from its reseEnbiance TO the fungous
suhstsnce that sometimes attacks wheat BY tbat
name. has been called RUsT. So far as ne are in
formed, rust in oats has hitherto been unknown.
We have never heard or read of anything of he
{ kinf in ahy section % the country The fact that
ID Is fhus nnsual opens aWide and uteresiine 5sld
70 The naturGlisl and in this case The entomolo
gis as it invites investigation in channel so far
as We can ascertain, heretofore unexplored
4 While in West Tennessee, q short time since. we
took occasion zanne the blade Of the oat under
microscope, and we're greatly surprised Miih, The
phenomenon which the glass revealed. Sincethe
We have followed up those examinations, BY the aid
OF more powerful Instruments at the Medical Co..
eee in this city, in company with several scientific
gentlemen, among whom. we're Drs. Briggs and Bu-
ohanan, Of the Medical Faculty.
The cause of ali this destruction OF the oat crop
Is a living worm too small 10 be plainly seen with
the naked eye. A single blade or leaf Of the oat
sometimes contains hundreds of them They lie
encased in the tissues of the leaf or blade where
they have been terminated, beneath the ep dermis
or thin pelliee over the exterior portion Of the
blade ana as they progress in development the skin
of the leaf is raised into curious puffy bisters The
growth Of the worm subsequently ruptures these,
aud it escapes 10 feed on the plant. When first re-
leased from their covering they are of beautiful,
clear, red color almost transparent but soon begin
to change color and form, getting more opaque and
dark in appearance, until, in the course Of trans
formation they become a black bug, with legs and
wings, when they attack the head or grain Of the
OATS --.
Under the microscope the dust which remains on
the leaf closely resembles that the wings Of but
teThies.
How this innumerable army Of infniesmaI worms
originated is yet mystery. 1t is singular fact,
however, that wherever the greatest quantity Of
rain has fallen, there the oat crop has Jared the
worst. In our recent trip through West Tennessee
we saw but single field Of oats between the Mis-
,sssppi and Tennessee rivers which vas not total
failure, or into which it would be folly to put a
scythe blade, That field vas near Denmsrk, in
Madison county, and was sown very early. 1t is
we'll known that more rain has fallen IN West Ten
nessse this season than in any other part Of the
State: hence The extreme wet weather must have
had some agency in the production Of this animals
cule II is also well known that moisture aud heat
will produce and multiply animal life millions per
hour, and therein judge is the secret Of this de
struction Of the oat crop Il is Of those cases
of natural phenomena which occur only at certain
stage in the growth of plants, and under peculiar
states of temperature aud weather Il msy happen
next season, or it may not occur again for many
years.--SOUtberH HoRestea. ---r

III .Tho Living and Deaa AronrOe.,E

e.
\ The Richmond South, in commenting upon the
contrast between Monroe living and Monroe dead,
says it is twenty eight years since James Mons
roc left Virginia to reside in New York. If tradi
ton speak truly he departed under circumstances
not very ereditable to the character Of the State
whose annals he had illustrated by his wisdom and
his virtues. Although he had been engaged in almost
every variety of civil employment, from the lowest
and least profitable to the highest and most lucra-
i've in his old age he retired private life without
the resources even Of comfortable subsistence. His
poverty was not the result of vice incidence, bat
10 the entire devotion of his energies to the service
of the country. His virtues were universally
rovered, aud he was already chief among the
historic worthless of Virginia. Nevertheless, hewas
reduced to the sad necessity of giving up his pro-
perty for the satisfaction of creditors and Of remov
ing to another State that he might enjoy protection
under the roof ola generous descendant. In short
time after his residence in New York. he died. it is
said, of vexation at the delay in allowing long
standing claim for balance adjustment Of his
accounts with the Government. %. . ="
After twenty Eve years of repOse in another State,
the remains of James Monroe are deposited in the
eoll Ot HIS AaJLfity. tAB'nie5 WIZ oASA'iJ
the exile of the aged patriot, and made no effort to
tighten his sorrows, now receives his bones with
every demonstration Of respeottOr his memory. The
contrast is striking and instructive, between the
recent pageant andthe spectacle of the old man
vending his solitary way with lettering step to
another State,-oovered with glory, but clad in
poverty, surfsited with applause, but wanting the
means Of a decent livelihood, renowned in history
ion he exploits of his craftsmanship and his valor,
butheglscted at home in he Obscurity Of helpless
old age. Such are he freaks of fortune such the
caprioious gratitude Of Republics. The associates
of the living Monroe in Virginia administered no
relief to MS necessities but suffered him 30 subsis
il distant land, and upon Che bounty OF generous
beaefaotor. A generation passes away, and the
ashes oEthe dead patriot are reclaimed by his native
State, with an oslentation of homage and muuf-
cenee Of expenditure that would have gaddeued his
soul, and aIle7ia ed the burdens of his declining
years. These posthumous honors cannot compensate
the neglect of our fathers, but they attest own
appreciation ofthe personal virtues and public SER
vices which are imperishably associated with the
name of James Monroe
