How BLIND BEaaARs ARE MADE
extraordinary developments about bliud beg
ears were made last week in New Orleans
courtroom. Mrs. Barbara Vandarrich, OF
that CITY, has blind husband and four child.
rep, and the whole family are professional
mendicants. The old man wears white night
can ON his head, tin sign on his breast, and
sits on Canal street turning the crank OF a
hand-organ, surrounded by his wretched and
i'm mportunate brood. One OF his boys was en-
ticed away from him lately by two brother
professionals; and in the suit his wife brought
to punish them for this inroad on the stock In
trade, the curious facts alluded to came out.
A professional beggar who was mixed up in
the case testified that nine out OF ten who are
led about as blind men have eyes as good as
anybody's He said the plan adopted is this ::
''The impostor provides himself with pecu-
liar duality of blue stone, not for sale by all
dealers, and having secured the services, OF
some half starved, little, motherIesS and father
less boy or girl to lead him, he chips off a
small piece of blue stone, about the size OF
pea, and dissolves it in sn ordinary glass ol
water This is enough to make fifteen men
blind for three or four days. He then closes
his eyes and bathes the lids with the liquid.
1t acts as powerful astrngent, and even II
he wanted to see he couldn't, until the effect
wears off, The lids are tightly closed, and il
they are forced open there is temporary film
over the pupil which would deceive any but
the skiful oculist.
The witness said he could 60 through the
city and pick out all the really blind mendicants
from the blue-stone rascals After patient
consideration Of the evidence, Recorder Gastl
mel rendered the following decision:
SIN this case the Court perceives no kid
mapping, but clearly one of the greatest out
RACES ever perpetrated on the citizens OF New
Orleans, not only by the accused, but by TIT
main witnesses for the prosecution. These
parties come clearly and plainly under the sta
tnte defining vagrancy. therefore sentence
the accused, Serapbin Villemar and Huber
Smith. to six months in the work house IN dc
fault of giving bond in the sum OF 81 ,ooo 10 o
good behavior. [ also sentence the plalntltf
Barbara Vandarrich to the same penalty, aut
: the boy, Gustave Vandarrich, to the House
Refuge, in default of a bond of 81, 900 Tor hi
good behavior
It is interesting to know that these S ,0O'
bonds were given by the beggars on the spot
One of the defendants had So, 900 on his per
son and certificate of deposit for ST 200 more
The plaintiffs seemed in equally comfortabI,
circumstances but, no doubt, could be fount
to-day at their favorite haunt on Canal street
forming ther usual squaid family tableau O
misery and misfortune.

The ARMY WoRM-For the first time
within our knowledge, the army worm has
appeared in this county, although it IS SAID
that a similar invasion occurred fifty years ago.
Learning that the host was to be seen about a
mile and half from town, on the Churchvllle
road, We went out last Friday afternoon 10 take
look at it, We did not mingle much in the
crowd, but contented ourselves with hanging on
the flank and surveying the line of march
passed over. We saw enough, however, to
crafty q reasonable curiosity On one side
of the road is an oak forest. stripped of every
leaf and presenting the appearance Of mid
winter Oa the other side is a wheat field,
where the worms are at work consuming the
foliage. This forest is visible from several
points in town, and looks as if the trees along
the border, as far as the worms have penetrat-
ed, had been killed by fire. The worms do
not consume all kinds of green leaves, but
pass by the locust, sassafras, wild-grape, black
berry, husk kleberry, &c. They do not seem to
ipjure field crops of any kind At the point
where We examined them, they were consider
ably mixed up with seyen-ycar locusts, but as
we'll as we could Judge both parties were ami
oably disposed The general appearance of the
worm is similar to that of the common cater
pillar. There are differences, however, which
we are not naturalist enough to describe, and
the habits of the two are very different The
caterpillars which infest our orchards live in
water proof tents of webs, and never leave the
tree on which they are hatched until they are
fully grown and ready to pass into the chrysalis
state. Then they wander of in search of suit
able places for winding themselves up in their
cocoons, from which they emerge finally as
butterflies, or rather moths. When seen
wandering about at large they are done feed
ing Previous to this time they remain in
their tents, only going out upon the tree in dry
weather to feed, about nine O'Clock in the
morning and about three in the afternoon =
Their habit 10 this respect is remarkably regu
lar The army worm has no tent, but spends
its days and nights out of doors They hang
together more than the other species, forming
in many places cumps or knots around the
tWigs to which they cling Persons who have
seen more of the army in our vicinity than we
have, say it is halt mile wide. and approach
ing the West View road, moving in South,
west direction. Where they came from, aud
how they intend to dispose of themselves, are
mysteries to us at present. We do not be-
lieye they have marched very far, or will go
many miles further. They will probably soon
hide themselves under chips and stones. or in
the earth, and re.appear in few weeks as
night moths. Those moths will deposit their
eggs 10 the forest, and from them new horde
of worms will hereafter come forth on another
grand crusade -Sta7uton Spectator.

WHlTEwAsHING.--As this is the ses-
SON for spring house-cleaning, and gen.
eral "clearin' up time" We give our
readers an excellent recipe for making
whitewash: Take aclean, water-tight
barrel, or other suitable cask, and put
into it half bushel of lime. Stake 1t
by pouring water over it, boiling hot,
and in sufficient quantity to cover it
FIVE inches deep, and stir it briskg un-
til thoroughly slaked. When the slak-
ing has been effective, dissolve in water,
and add two pounds Of sulphate of zine
and one of common salt. These will
cause the wash to harden, and prevent
its cracking, which gives an unseemly
appearance to the work. If desirable
beautiful cream color may be added to
the above wash, by adding three pounds
of yellow OGRE; or q. good pearl or lead
color, by adding lamp, vine or ivory
black. For fawn color, add four pounds
of lumber, Turkish or Americap-the
latter is the cheapest one pound Indian
red, and one pound common lamp black.
For common stone color, add four
pounds lumber and two pounds lamp
black. This wash may be applied with
common whitewash brush, and will
be found much superior, both in appear
ance and durability, to common white
wash. ''~'a :" e. .'..
