1t is really pleasing to peruse the mes.
sages of the Governors of loyal States now
being delivered. From Maine to Minneso-
ia, wherever Executive speaks, it is with
promises, as well as realizations, that must
make both incumbent and constituency
proud. Everywhere finances are in a
healthy condition. State debts are being
reduced, and requests are made to the
Legislature to diminish or abolish taxes on
solid wealth. Schools and school systems
are thriving, reforms are going on and
abundantly suggested, and hopes are ex.
pressed Of a happy future. In all this the
evidence appears that the progressive
people of this country are its best rulers.

was taken from. This exact order forms
the most essential part of nsatness. For
instance, dish will not get broken or soiled
if it is put in its proper place as soon as it
has been used. The carefulness which
makes us place things in order makes us
keep them clean. Joined to all these ad-

habits of neatness aud activity, by obliging
them to place things in order, and keep

Nothing we calculate, would be more
edifying to our dusky hued friends than
the remarks made by a sable Tarson at a
negro wedding which took place recently

Oil as a Remedy against Insects.

Many years ago we were interest
ed in some experiments made by some
medical students on tho destruction
of insect life by oil. The slightest
drop of sweet oil put on the back of a
hornet, beetle, bee, or similar thing,
caused it's instant destruction. Wo
were told the breathing pores wore
closed by the oil, and the life was
literally smothered out. In after life
greasy water was always favorite
mode with us of destroying iuseots,
and we have repeatedly urged it upon
the readers of this journal, yet We
arc astonished to find how little the
hint has been ao,od on. Almost
every day we meet people who ask
how to destroy this insect or that, and
our drawer is filed with similar in
quiries and to all the idea Of grease
or oil seems as new D one as if we had
kept the matter e profound secret.
Of the millions of people in the
United States, how few are there who
would not 'give anything" as they
sa.y, to know how to keep away the
cabbage fly from their seed beds yet
abou q tablespoonful Of coal oil but
in common garden watering-pot of
water, sprinkled over the seed bed,
When the little jumping beetle is no
ticed as having appeared, will instant
ly destroy the whole brood.
a correspondent of this journal
recently gavo us an article Gu the vir-
tues of coal oil in killing scale in
seots. We have repeated the expert
ment on some daphnes with entire
success.
In short, we have no doubt that coal
oil, we'll diluted with water, is death
to all kinds of insects, and there is no
reason why it should not be in as
general use as tobacco is for killing
nphides-more valuable, in fact, be-
cause it can be applied in SO many
cases where smoke cannot
One great point in favor of coal oil
Is that it acts as q manure to vegeta-
tion, while dealing out death to in
scots. We have seen cabbage beds
nearly destroyed by the cabbage fly,
have the whole crop of beetles de-
stroyed almost instantaneously while
in q few days afterwards the plants,
as by magic, would cover tho bed
with luxuriant leaves.
We do not believe that the undilut.
ed oil would prove injurious to the
leaves, but such extravaganza is unne-
cessary, as tho small quantity we have
given is effectual.
No doubt the eggplant fly, and all
insects that can be reached by the oil,
can be destroyed.
There is scarcely one of our readers
to whom we are sure this hint alone
will not be worth many annual sub
scl ptions.
We may add that any oil is as
good as coal oil, but that being likely
to be more easily obtained when
wanted, is recommended; also care
must be used to keep the water in the
pot stirred when used, 30 that por-
tion of tho oil gets out as the water
runs, otherwise the oil floating On tho
top of the water will stay there till
all the water goes ont and onlv the
oil be left for the last For this rca-
son syringe, in many cases, will be
preferable to the water. pot, as the oil
and water will have better chance of
getting out Gardeners Monthly.
