SPANISH FLIES AND BLIND STAG,
CAUSE.-THE Planters Banner says
Spanish or blister flies have done
much damage to many gardens, and
even fields of corn, in this parish,
this season. 1t is the first season
we have ever had them in our gar
den in this parish We were often
visited by them in Texas. We have
fought them with fire and dirt, hav-
ing burned swarms of them and bu-
ried millions of them alive, and still
they made many heavy meal at
our expense.
The blind staggers RACES among
the horses of this parish and Terre
bonnie to some extent. We have
heard of the loss of fifteen or twenty
horses by this disease. A good
remedy is said to be found in using
blister flies on creased swab run
up each nostril of the horse troubled
with this disease.

CAPT. NJ. j. SHERiDAN.--This ca
pable officer and excellent man hav-
lug resigned his position in the army,
has returned to his home IN Indiana.
For nearly year past, Capt. Sheri-
dan occupied the position Of Provost
Marshall at this place, the delicate
and responsible duties of which he
discharged in a manner which spoke
volumes in his favor MS n conscienti-
GUS and impartial functionary. 1t
affords us pleasure, now that he has
gone from among US and our remarks
cannot be taken as prompted by a
desire to praise him to his face, to
bear our humble testimony as above,
to his personal and official worth.
Should he ever have occasion to re-
visit our city he will not fail to meet
with that friendly welcome among
our citizens which will go to prove
that their esteem and appreciation of
him are as enduring as the principles
of honor which characterize the true
gentleman and soldier.

~ The editors of the Wheeling
Intelligencer were told the following
story few days ago, by a gentle.
man who had just arrived from Park.
ersburg:
He had hardly got to sleep when
he was awakened by "blue." Upon
lighting a match he found bed bug
half an inch in diameter. He threw
the bug, with the match, into a basin
of water which stood at the head OF
the bed. This process was repeated
several times. AT last he was ava
kened from sound sleep by what
he thought was some person singing.
He threw up his window, but could
not find the cause of the sweet
sounds; but, at last, he happened to
look in the basin, when he found
that the bugs had constructed raft
out of the matches he had thrown in,
and were towing it around the basin,
singing:
ga life on the ocean wave,
A home on the rolling deep,n etc.

The THEsPIANs.--Our citizens,
as also visitors to our city, will
please bear in mind that the Thes-

ment in theatrical way on to-mor-

friends and let them see that their
efforts to please and amuse, are not

and to borrow an idea from Hamlet.
"Look to the players; see them
well bestowed"
The object of the Thespians is to
build up reading room with the
pro.fts which shall accrue from their
perfor uauces. A most worthy OBJ
.ject, truly.

STAGE NoNsENsE.--An exchange

STAGE NoNsENsE.--An exchange
remarks:
We were speaking to friend the
other day, respecting the merits of a
celebrated tragedian," when he had
occasion to comment ON the rant OF
the stage-the loud mounting, the
outrageous gestures, the furious roll
ing OF the eye, the stride, swords that
rattle in the hilt, and all the "pomp
and circumstance Of tbs modern
drama.
Fancy this style carried into real
life. On being introduced to lady
you would say, throwing yourself into
a splendid attitude:
"Most gracious madam, on my
knees ! greet YOU" impressively
placing your right hand on your
heart.
To creditor who would not pay
Fraudulent knaye! payest thou me
not? By yonder sun that blazes in
the zenith, thee will | sue, and thou
shalt see thy impious name flaming
the streets on posters huge"
At dinner: SHOW, by my soul,
and all my highest hopes, those
beans are royal. Were [ Jupiter,
beans should grace each kingly
banquet. What, no! waiter, bring
hither more beans ;"
To your wife: Madam, beware
thou dost excite me not; else being
too hot with wrath do myself some
harm. A needle here--a button on
that shirt-and see it instantly per-
formed. Do it! Not leave the task
to me-
To your butcher: "Thou ensan-
guined destroyer of bovines, send
me some mutton and some beef; and
mark you let it be tenderer than
love, and sweeter than the bees rare
burden. would dine to day"
To friend: Excuse rash in
trusion on your grace, but hast thou
in thy box portion of that plant
ranked by the botanist among genus
mic0tiani 2" Or, "Most noble friend,
wilt thou partake with me some
strong libation2 Thou lookest dull
to-day; twill cheer thy sinking
heart"
Reply: "Oh, noble soul alas,
not all the wine of Bacchanalian
revels could ease the sorrow here
here! here! (Left arm struck sew
eral times). Oh, what fool and
arrant knaye am |, the very sport of
fortune"
This is scarcely more ridiculous
than three quarters of the stage
nonsense"

prefxed the almost meaningless let
ters-Hon. The estimate was that
some two millions out of our entire
thirty were afflicted with that indis-
tinct distinction. In the course OF
its comments, it went on to remark
by way of illustration, on the long
interval that stretched between
the titles of Esq. and ID. d. 1t is
just at this point, says the Boston
Post, where we would begin what
now occurs to US to say ourselves.
AS things go at our College Com.
mencements, the ID. DIS, Ii. DIS,
and other honorary titles of nomi-
nally inferior grade, will soon be-
come as common as the worn out ap.
pendix Of Esq. We always thought
we could detect a lurking vein Of
irony in Mr.. Beecher's very frsnk
declension of the title of ID. d., ad-
ministered to him, no doubt out OF
the sincerest admiration, by the fac
ulty OF Amherst College There is
so little consideration Of fitness in the
bestowal OF these honors, that they
are already fallen into open disrepute.
An l.. L. ID. used to be thought title,
understood as representing the skill
and learning Of its possessor in the
laws. Now it is given to party Gov
errors who have been merchants or
manufacturers all their lives, and to
whom it is about as applicable as
the title of ID. ID. would be to SUI
perannuated church sexton.
Those who are in receipt of propo-
sails from our Colleges for this hon
orary ornamentation of their names,
begin to feel secret misgivings about
the sense of the thing, and suspect
from the smile that goes around. that
one party or the other is being made
game Of True, there ought to be
more learned men in this age than
the last one, for there are more men
to learn. That very fact, however,
inculcates the need of slower and
wiser judgment on the part of the
College Faculties and Corporations.
These titles are none of them worth
a pinch of snuff, when they are as
ISOLATED in any way with merely
complimentary designs. Because an
ind vidual has endowed a College
professorship, or erected a College
gymnasium, or established College
scholarships and prizes, he has no
claim to such titles from that College
for his good learning. We realize
full well what power money is, in
this age; but there is no royal road
to learning now any more than when
the eighth Henry invited over Eras-
mus from Holland. And except
scholars, and laborious students. and
men devoted to sound and excellent
learning, none ought to be the recip-
tents of those degrees which used
to be synonymous with the qualities
supposed to be set forth by them. A
gift is valuable according to what it
expresses; and the designation of
L. L. ID. should by good rights
mean something more than learned
"leather-drssser," just as d. ID.
might as well convey another idea
than that Of a "dead duck"

MERCANTILE HoNoR.-Some
twenty years ago Mr.. Charles Bae-

Philadelphia, failed, and was com.
PEELED to compromise with his credit
ors. But though legally released, he
feltunder moral obligation to pay his
debts. Entering into business again,
he met with a deserved return of
prosperity, and recently invited his
former creditors to dine with him at
the Continental Hotel, when every
on,s received payment in full, princi-
pal am interest, of the debt from
which he vas discharged. 1t is

honorable dealing and CONNIE: e cls' Ia

The sudden death of two babies, twins,
was mentioned in the Boston papers few
days since, and it was stated that the parents
resided in Boston. An investigation shows
that the affair occurred in Charlestown. The
babies were named Laura and Augusta re-
spectivcly, and were the twin children Of
Richard and Augusta Scidenshcker, who
reside on Thorndike street, Charlcstown.
The deaths were very sudden. The mother
| was nursing one while the father was hold
ing the other in hi. arms. The one being
held by the father suddenly dropped its head
and expired almost instantly, and while the
mother was in the act OF exchanging with
the one she held, this was also found to be
dead The babes were two months and
thirteen days old, and the cause of THEN
death is unknown. They were considered
healthy babes, and were to all appearances
in their usual good health up to the time o.
their death.
