ty' TASsEY VS.. BonERs.--Several years since
noticed the fact that tansey, planted at the base
of a tree. would protect it against worms A few
days since friend called attention to a large
-nd thrifty peach tree, among namber of others in
the samo lot Tho base of the tree was surrounded
with tansey, few stalks having been planted three
years since. Upon examination not a single worm
had been found at the roots sinoo tho tanscy was
planted, while all the others literally swarmng
with this destructive enemy of the peach tree
This is simple and safe remedy, and would, no
doubt, prove protection to many plants as we'll at
trees against the ravagcs of worms.

in which DIR. AVER treats every subject he

Representation of the South.

Without entering into any political considera-
ton of the subject present below, matter
of statistics, table of the number of representa-
tives that the States lately embraced within the
Southern Confederation, well as the rest of the
South, would have, should the Constitutional
amendment of the Committee of Fifteen be &C
cepted by the people. There is a clause in the
amendment which makes the number of electors
the basis of representation, and it is apparent
exception of some discrepancies resulting from the
losses of the war, that the difference will be
sential It is hardly probable that the right of
suffrage will be accorded to the freedmen in the
South for sometime to come, and the case
stands-since calculation is upon official data
the representation of the South in Congress
would be largely diminished
