THE JUTE CHIGN0N PANIC.
To The Editor Of The WHO & Courier

Permit me through your columns to
make few brief statements, and, il posi-.
bic, to impart little Information In rela-
ton to the mysteries Of the jute chiynon.
Jute is grass exported from the East
Indies After being subjected to process
of dyeing it enters into the manufacture OF
the coar>er materials Of ware, such as car
pets, mats, &C. or late the fn.r fbres
have been used In making the chignon, As
well may fishes live out of their native
element, as an insect ordained by nature
to derive Its sustenance from q shrub In
the East Indies, thrive upon the brains OF
young lady In America 4 moments re-
lection will show the extreme absurt of
the whole matter.
In regard to the scientific microscopi.
cal investigations" and the astounding re-
suits daily reported, i will say that, II the
capillary appendage ofany Of the fsir sex
mas been found 70 contain such innumera-
BILE quantities Of insects, the s.animile"
must belong TO genus possessing an en-
tireiy different character from that which
inhabits the jute. Allow me to state, these
reports are without fbundAtion. No sxcA
case has erer occurred.

MIR. EDITOE:-
the crops throughout the State will
DO light, compared with last year, with
few exceptions.
Through Somerset, Kennebec, and
some other counties. the drought has
been very severe. The fields in many
towns, look as though they had been
burnt over" after being moved. 1t
is quite safe TO set grass crop at two
thirds what it was last year. and through
many localities produced about the
same. The grass was quite well grown
before the drought commenced.
Corn, will stand dry season better
than any other crop, but even that, will
be light. compared with former wears.
Wheat, barley. oats and beans. will be
light. except in Eastern Maine, where
there has been frequent showers
West Of the Pcnobscot river. potatoes

planted potatoes are done growing.
The tops are dead, and the potatoes are
very small. Late planted potatoes will
do better. rs they will derive some
benefit from the heavy showers. so gen

| Apples promise well. aud there will be
larger crop than has been gathered
any one season for the last five years.
Hal IL not been for the severe dry
weather. the apple crop would have

body has got to eat poor beef aud NUT
ton. or go without any. Cornis so very
high. that it will not pay the farmers to
stall feed.
| Fast OF the Pcnob.cot the fields and
pastures look green, and potatoes have
much larger growth, than in the wcs-
tern portion of the State.
Tit farmers in Eastern Maine do
themselve, an injury by letting their
grass stand ill il gets nearly ripe. Earli-
CT cut gras- j. more nutritious, aud is
relishcd much better BY horses and
cattle.
II requires more time to make hay
when the grass Is green. but it well
pays for the extra labors, especially if
the owners stock is to consume the hay.
But light crops with peace, is better
than an abundance with ,rar.

The War.

The war news continues stirring, az
the armies on both sides continue on
the move and active, one from necessi.
ty and the other from . sound waI

ing with the Prussian commanders as
to what is their duty, and they evince
no disposition to use the spade, but
take the offensive and to some pur-
pose.
Every one seems to be disappointed
at the failure of the French. They
have not been successful, when and
where they should have beaten the
Prusoians.

he could % retrieve it; when not even a

them away.

pistol from the holster, shot the animal
Inen turning around, he slowly walked
toward the enemy. His soldiers vainly
tried TO stop him. Amid the terrible hr-

in heaps around their General, who still
pressed forward. Another tremendous
discharge from the enemy, and General
D0uay, almost alone, fell dead.

many good things and makes many
good suggestions to fishermen and 9TH

killing fish by driving an awl into the
head of each, is somewhat at fault, and
not in good keeping with the ideas aid
vanced in the balance Of the article re-
ierred to.
do not write this, however, in the
spirit of fault finding, for, in my csti-
nation, every man has right to his
own ideas, but simply with your per-
mission MIR. EDITOR, to give the read

piscivOIOus propensities, the latest
Yankee method Of preparing fish for the
table and market. Instead of the awl
driven into the head, let the fishermen
use the knife and cut the throat Of each
fish as soon as taken from the water.
Let the fish bleed is the idea, and for
the same reason that the butcher desires
slaughtered animal to bleed. By the
Dutch method the blood is kept in the
fish, it may be for hours, where it CO.
