In the library rooms and hold their

A GOOD THING FOR SHIPPERs.-An
arrangement has been made between
the steamers Armada, Havana and

SHADE TREES STRIPPED BY
WoRMs.-We notice that the syea-
more shade trees around the Court
House are being stripped of their
leaves by worms. One or two have
been bereft of every leaf by these
voracious worms, while the leaves on
the other trees are literally riddled.
We think some plan should be devised
to save these beautiful shade trees
from devastation. If no preventive
can be discovered, we should advise
the substitution of maple trees for
sycamore, as the former, we believe,
are never injured by worms or insects.

EARTH WORKS.

To the Editor of The Evening Tele0raph:-
In reference to your recent article on King
lakes History Of the Crimean War, as you pro-
mise to return to the subject, may l beg to
remark that it was my nephew, Major Nasmyth,
who originated that system of earth defences
subsequently carried by Todleben to such per-
lection at Sebastorol? A youth Of one-and-
twenty, and on sick furlough in England from
an Indian regiment of engineers, he had, in
company with brother officer-the Hon. Mr..
Butler, con of an Irish peer-gone out to Sils-
tria as correspondent for the Times Uondon)
journal. To interfere with military operations
Was no part Of his duty, but 1t occurred to him
that the place was capable of defence, and,
making the suggestion to his comrade, they
made such arrangements that the town was
held out against an army OF forty thousand Rus
slams for forty days, when the Allied troops of
France and England came up and relieved 1t;
the works battered down in the day being regu-
lary restored In the night, SO that the enemy
was daily foiled in his design to carry 1t by
storm next morning. Lieutenant Butler was
killed at an early part of the siege, and my
nephew sustained SO many wounds in the course
of it that the remainder of his life was a life of
agony. The Sultan offered him the highest rank
in the Turkish service ii he chose to change his
religion, and, ON his decliulDg, got him appointed
major in the British army, by special request to
the Queen of England. The English Govern
ment, however, could find no better employment
for his engineering abilities than by nominating
him inspector OF some Irish nstcbulary, until
a necessity arose for forlitying the city OF sgd
neY, in Australia, whittier he proceeded, and
would have accomplished his task but for the
opposition he encountered from the parsimony
of the natives and Sir John Young, the Governor,
the barnacle who has lately been fastened upon
the Government of Canada, as we'll as a con-
temptible aristocratic imbecile named Lord
John Taylor, whose enmity to him was aroused
by the circumstance that he had obtained his
| rank by services on the field Of battle. His
subaltern position, of course, prevented Mas
NTH from challenging Young and Taylor, who
by toadying had acquired the rank of abide
camp TO Sir John. was too base for his notice.
Both Of these person ages are thus reserved for
