Killing the Cotton Worm,

In 1864 millions Of dollars worth of cotton
was destroyed by the worm, and men who sup
posed they We're sure of fortune were impoyerish-
Ell by the unexpected loss of almost entire crops.
Experiments since then have demonstrated that
the worms can be killed and their destructive
ravages prevented. A correspondent of the
Natchitochee Times says, relating the result of
his experiments last year.
Now that the cotton is small the worms,
moths, and chrysales can be easily found and
destroyed, BY gently striking each stalk of
cotton with switch or paddle, the caterpillar
can be knocked off A laborer can thus 90 over
about ten acres of cotton per day. The pupa
can at the same time be easily detected, folded
up in the leaves. Going over the cotton once
every two or three weeks would be sufficient to
nearly annihilate the caterpillars. Fires kindled
about dusk would be very beneficial in destroying
the moths. 1t takes twenty eight days for the
caterpillar to GO through its different changes of
existence The planters need not be discouraged
If they energetic in their attempt to destroy
the caterpillars, they will greatly check their
ravageS

pet with the intelligent message il brings. IF
the sound is harsh, we will not take the alarm it
gives, but think only of mending the instrument.
The fruits of the earth are Gods speech. The
harvest is His yearly trumpet The loss of crops
is nothing compared to the anger of Jehovah.
Good harvests are no blessing unless sent to us
in His love. Why do we use our increasing
knowledge of His works to hide from US the
knowledge of HimselfY Why are we practical
Atheists in material matters, while DO religious
with regard to things not material? Is our God
Lord only of the hills and another of the vallies2
Is Jehovah only remote possibility of eternity;
and leeks and onions-wheat and potatoes
electricity and gulf streams and potato bugs, and
breech leaders, and universal sufrage-and Ben
Butler and Bishop Simpson-the gods of timer
the only things to be sought or avoided feared
and considered? Depend upon it we are nearer
to God than to any creature. In HIM, not in
nature, we live and move and have our being
He has more to do with our earthly affairs than
we are in the habit of thinking; aud 70 seek the
kingdom of God and His righteousness is the
only way to have all other things added, -.
Now there is no necessity to look far for the
sins that bring Gods judgments. There can be
no doubt that we are wickedly neglecting to pro-
vide for the ministry Even the members Of
rich churches who pay good salaries are not ne
cessarily clear Of this charge Rich men are
bound to help the poor to maintain the gospel.
1t is nothing creditable to wealthy city congre-
cation to give ten fifteen thousand dollars to
preacher and several more to singers, and enor-
nous sums for carved stone churches and da-
mask pew cushions. All this is luxurious self
indulgence that at most can only hope to be ex-
cused on account of the hardness ofhuman hearts.
1t does not exonerate them from the duty of help
ing poorer men to hear the gospel. Let us then
begin with this dereliction. Our Lord forbade
His deciples to take purse Or change of clothes
when they went to preach. He considered
call even to repentance abundantly worth the
preachers support, and pronounced a dreadful
woe upon the people who should not give tempo
raj for spiritual food. The preachers now bring
much better tidings and as we have not valued
them, and as much dust from the feet of Gods
ambassadors has gathered on US, we may well set
ourselves to the work of reformation. Preach
ing will not do us much good unless we pay for
it. We will not get to heaven at the expense of
other people, if able to pay our own.
Who will seriously consider these things?

Droughts.
From the Statesville America

How are We to account for the many and pro-
tracted drouths of the present age in this portion
of the country? Can they be prevented! 10
answer these questions definitely or accurately,
may be beyond human ken, but may We not con-
lecture!
1t is well known that rain is produced by va
por, which arises from the seas, lakes and rivers
and also from the earth when moist 1t Is also
well known, that the section bordering on these
large bodies of water do not suffer from drought
as the middle country The mountain region ls
also more favored with showers of rain in sum-
mer than intermediate hill country-not because
of the proximity of large water courses, but be-
cause of the numerous small ones and the I'M
mense bodies of forest, covered with foliage,
which keeps up a state Of moisture and creates
vapor to form clouds. When this section, or
rather when the whole country was in timber or
forest, our fathers knew nothing in comparison
to what we know of the frequent and protracted
drouths which almost annually I'M ure or destroy
our crops; even when the country new and
freshly cleared, before the humors of the soil were
exhausted drouths were not SO frequent or des-
tructive as at the present
Then, if these are facts, and not mere specula-
tions, it becomes the duty OF every intelligent in
divdual to look for and apply remedy. Let
the millions of dry, sterile acres Of land, to be
seen in the country be converted into luxuriant
pastures and grassy meadows, and, we venture
the assertion that in the future, drouths will be
less frequent, the land more productive, farming
more remunerative, and the wealth Of our people
greatly increased. If, by simply converting this
into a grazing country the number and dura-
ton of the drouths can be lessened or diminished,
by all means it should be done.

Remarkable Invention.

"A Northern paper describes remarkable in
yention of two young students of the French
polytechnic School 1t is lamp which burns
under water without any accessory machinery,
and carries within itself the requisite supply of
gas. On the 18th of June last, at night, man
III the costume of diver descended into the sluce
opposite the Mint (Paris), to the depth of eight
feet, and carried with him the lighted lamp. 1t
Continued to burn beneath the water, and at the
distance of two yards the diver was able to mark
with a diamond ON a piece of glass the date and
hour Of the experiment. The lamp burned for
threequarters Of an hour in the water, and when
it was brought up to the surface it was still
burning with flame as bright as ever.

Klept0mania.
New York Correspondent Cincinnati Times.


Few persons, even residents of the city, have
any idea how common this peculiar mania is.
Many persons laugh at the emphamistic term used
to express habit of stealing, and say it is en-
ployed only by the rich. But am confident it
is mania from the numerous instances I have
recently become acquainted with.
AT least dozen women, the wives of mer-
chants and professional men of wealth and posi-
tlon have been discovered in the last year in
taking things that did not belong to them
Things of trif1e value they were too for the most
part, such as no one Of sane mind would be apt to
take when the articles of more worth might as
readily be had.
/ know of girls reared in the most exem-
pay manner who have been caught stealing
trinkets, handkerchief, gloves and sweetmeats
when they had abundance of money in their
purse, to buy again and again what they had
taken.
Two clergymen's wives, represented to be very
gentle, amiable women, have been detected re-
recently, it is said, in shop-lifiing at Stewards
They had been indulging in petty thefts for sew
eral years; but when accused Of pilfering, denied
the accusation with indignation, and were over
whenled with modification when it was proved
upon them.
1t is supposed that this disposition to steal is
inherited like the appetite for liquor Or proclivity
to consumption, and can hardly be resisted or con-
trolled. A girl of eighteen, whom her parents
discovered addicted to pifering, was found merely
TO have initiated her grandmother, several times
arrested in New England for theft.
No one of the cases thus named has been made
public. But the police hear of new instances
every day or two; and all the circumstances that
surround them compel one to believe them in
dependent Of moral responsibility.
