DEAR MoNIToR:-What's the matter
Has Elizabeth gone up? Or have you
gone to the land of the " Evening Her.
aid, and "Evening Journal ?" Per-
haps You mean to put your friends, in
this city of brotherly and sisterly love,
on short allowance. You are cutting off
our supplies in two-fold sense. For
about three weeks it gave zest to our
morning meal to find the Monitor on
our table And after suitably discuss
ing the edibles, we were nicely prepared
for the {" Feast of reason furnished in
your columns.
But for three days your paper has
not made its appearance.
Now we care less for the aroma of our
coffee, or the lusciousness of our steak,
than for the loss of the news from Eliz-
abeth, the city we love most and best.
If this is all your fault, please send
back numbers for three days. If I'm
Gle sam IS to blame, we must pocket the
loss.
This city is looking finely. Its Parks
and Squares, as well as the trees and
shrubbery along the streets, are rapidly
putting on their summer drapery. Bust
ness is also growing brisker.

The Pennsylvania Legislature at its
late session passed Registry Law for
that State. The propriety of some
measure to check the progress of fraud
ulent voting is an admitted necessity by
fair men Of all parties, and the new law
has been drafted to meet this want. One
of the best features of the law is the
guard it provides against the polling of
fraudulent naturalized votes, and the Sc

are required to commence making the
registration of voters ON the first Mon

is now direct communication from ocean

enterprise, and will be the means of de-

could not develop this section of country,
as it would take all summer to get from
the States to the point of operations then,
there was no means for subsisting through
the winter. Now, any one can start from
Chicago and arrive in the mineral country
in three days; hence, the inducements
now offered to parties who have "gold Oh

HOW TO KILL BUGS AND INSECTS,
The season is close at hand when sqash,
melon, and cucumber vines, and also cur
rant bushes and other things will be trou-
bled and often destroyed by these pests of
the garden and the fields.
Now what can be done to save the plants
from the ravages of these little pests? A
great many remedies have been mentioned.
but we confess our experience has taught
us that they do not answer the purpose for
which they are designed.
One year we raisel some excellent on
ions by making a frame, covering it with
milinent, and placing it over the bed as
soon as the seed was sown. The maggots
that destroy the onions come from a light
brown fly about two-thrds as large as the
common house-Gy. Soon as the onions
come up these little rascals may be seen
depositing their eggs on the plant close to
the ground, and if the bed is covered with
mllinet, they may be seen on the covering
striving to get through the meshes, but
they are too big for such a passage, and
the onions escape the rayages of the mag
gots. 1t won't do to remove the covering
until the onions are pretty well grown !;
for shese make quite a long season Of it.
The frame must be quite foot high so
that the plants may have room enough.
Such a contrvance is a sure remedy against
these maggots, and wc know of no other
successful remedy from actual experience,
and we have tried many. Perhaps these
flies have had their day, and will not trou-
bic the onions this season.
To keep off bugs from squashes, mel.
ons and cucunibers, carbonic acid should
ba used. 1t is also recommended as a
good dose for the currant worm, ants and
other insects. Use a saturated solution Of
this acid by spriuklipg it upon the vines

the present time men have been forwarded

ANECD0TE OF EDWARD EVERETT.

Robert G. Winthrop, in recently pub
lished Introductory lecture to course on
the early history Of Massachusetts,, COM
pares in a very interesting manner the
soil and climate Of his native State with
those of regions deemed to be more fav-
ored by nature. In the course of this
comparison occurs the following passage,
in which be introduces an anecdotc of the
late Edward Everett:o 70 w1d i-el ro

bridge structure will be OF iron, Post s

of $50 feet each. 1t will be 20 feet
above the ow-water-mark, and so feet
above the high. The piers, not of mas

with boulders and concrete-are similar
to those which support the railroad bridges
over the Pedee and Santee in South Car

is level with the surface of the ground

bottom, drives out the sand through a
valve in the cap. But if the earth is

ed-on the eastern bank-and that wen,

STORY FROM THE ARABIAN NIGHTS.
In the early rush to California, poor
boy named Charles Crockcr crossed the
Missouri with an OK team at this point,
on his tiresome overland journey to the
new gold regions. Last Friday-ninetccn
years afterwards TO dav-he arrived
here on his return visit to his old Eastern
home. He came accompanied by his
family, in his own special car, for he is
now Superintendent of the Central Pac-
cific Railroad, and every mile of it has
been built unaer his supervision. He
may well feel an honorable pride in the
great work with which he has been SO
closely identified. His party were four
days from Sacramento to Omaha; and en-
arriving here delighted us with blooming
ing flowers, aud feasted us upon strawbcr-
ries, oranges and luscious cherries from
California, brought upon Alaska ice 1900
miles through the green valleys of the
Pacific slope, and through the lingering
snow-driIts of the Rocky Mountains. 1t
seemed like a story from the Arabian
Nights. ' ti0. t-a. #
