eB-One who has successfully tried the
experiment, writes that air-slaked lime is
asure remedy for the ravages of the can
ker-worm and curcullo. The trees are to
be sprinkled with 1t when wet with rain or
dew. Our own experience is that portion
of pulverized sulphur may be mixed with
the lime to advantage. The preparation
should beput in sack or bag made of loose
cloth, tied to the end of pole and then
sprinkled over the tree, as soon after the
setting of the fruit as possible. The ex-
pertinent is worth the trial, especially on
plum trees. shr+

The NOTORIOUS STERLING KING, DEAD
Most of our readers will not fail to remem-
Der the somewhat checkered history of the
notorious Sterling King. A year ago, or
perhaps little more than that, he was ar
rested In Kentucky as a spy, brought to
CinciBnati and confined in the Mclean
Barracks. He was tried by military court
martial and sentenced TO be shot, but sub
Isequently made his escape. Our readers will
also remember that some time since a great
sensation story was heralded from the
Louisville Jail by the man Sterling King,
who asserted that he was an accomplice of
Booth In the assassination of President Lin
coin, and that Booth was yet alive. King
has been prisoner there on the charge of
stealing two buggies from Cincinnati, and
has tried several times to kill himself but
has been prevented.
lie confessed that the story about Booth
was hoax, and that he made the Insertion
simply because he thought the military
would take charge of him and send him to
Washington, and that pardon would be
obtained from President johnson for his
asserted part in the assassination. Failing
In this ruse, he refused to eat anything, and
for the past two weeks has not eaten par
ticle of food.
On Thursday last requisition was put in
the possession of Detective Larry Hazen
for King, on the charge of horse-stealing /;
and on Wednesday last King was given in
his charge at Louisville, to be brought to
this place On his arrival in Cincinnati,
on yesterday morning, King died, actually
from starvation, which is an exhibition Of
the determined will of the man. Coroner
Carey, few hours subsequently, held an
inquest upon the body, the verdict of the
jury being in accordance with the above
facts.

4 CLEANING UP,TUnder the vigorous aud
efficient management of our Board Of
Health, Dayton is rapidly becoming a very
clean city. During the last thrce or four
weeks an immense amount Of labor has been
performed in the way Of cleaning streets,
alleys, cellars, sinks, yards, &c. A vast
quantity of accumulated dirt and filth has
been removed, and our city may already be
said TO be in excellent sanitary condition,
though the work of renovation is still pro-
crossing vigorously. Should the dreaded
cholera scourge visit us when the hot sea-
son sets in, the prospect is that the city will
be in excellent condition to receive II, so
far as care and cleanliness are concerned.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to the
members of the Board Of Health, who have
given this matter their personal attention
and supervision from day to day. They
are in every sense public benefactors, and
their laudable efforts should be promptly
and cordially seconded by every citizen.
We would here suggest that it would be
well for the health of the city, If the sani-
tary measures now in progress should be
adopted every spring and summer, whether
we are threatened by epidemics like chol-
era or not. Itwould save our rapidly grow
ing population from vast amount of sick
ness and suffering. Y yA3s8lFlHA

The Abandonment OF Principle.

The Chicago Times ADVISES the Demo,
cratic party to abandon its position in op'
position to negro suffrage, and argues that
by so doing the existence of the party may
be eontinued-and only by SO doing. If
The Democratic party follows this advice
We certainly think it is very sick, and that
It's recovery is consummation devoutly
rot to be wished for.
The democracy have heretofpr, held
that the negro was an inferior race, unfit
for self,government. and disqualified by
decree Of God for the exercise Of the
elective franchise in our government
That the government was made by white
men, FOR white men, and that the idea Of
negro equality was disgusting and degrad-
ing If the democracy does not still main
tain those views on this question we mus.
consider ourselves outside Of he organic
alton. IF the Times ask. the party with
which it formerly acted, to follow its lead
cn the ncgro>sufrage question on priHci>
pie. because negroes ought to vote, then
then We still stand, 'Bourbon>like, where
We have ever stood, unalterably opposed to
the disgusting doctrine
If because the laws to be passed this
winter will permit him to vote, in spite of
the Democratic par.y, then let us oppose
the passage of these anticipated laws the
same as though We had the power to defeat
them. If we are laboring to advance a
correct principle it does not and cannot
change, and must ultimately triumph, and
We are unworthy advocates if We desert
our cause at the first reverse.
If the Times argues for negro suffrage
from Pc''cy, then wc are again Bourbon>
like" opposed to it. First, we think n
party scarcely worthy Of contempt that will
deliberately prostitute its principles for
the paltry fee Of position and temporary
success, and the destinies of the country
could not fall into worse keeping than the
custody of such men. Second, as policy
/; would be successful suicide, only On
tic plain issue of negro-suffrage the peo>
are with the democracy by an over
'ullng majority, and if they were not.
old honest. original equality
y would suit them much better than
