A BOYS INQUIRIES. Il am boy seeking
for information and wish to ask few
questions:-FIrst, what book supplies the
place In entomology that is filled in
botany by Gray's school and field book 2
Second, the fourteen year lGcusts are re-
ported to be here. Is there any such thing,
and does it take seventeen years to hatch
their eggs? If there is any such thing, l
would like to know how to preserve
specimens.-E. D. FL, Freeport, III.
= We do not know of any book on Ento-
mology exaetly suited to beginner.
Cecil'S Book of Insects is an interesting
elementary work, and the same may be
said Of Jagger's Life of North American
Insects Kirby & Sptnce's Introduction
to Entomology is larger and still better
work than either Of the above. Packard S
Guide to the Study of Insects is an ex-
cellent work for those who have acquired
some previous knowledge Of the science,
but of little use to the novice
Yes,thele are such things as the Seven
teen year locusts," bu~ it does not require
that number of years for their eggs to
hatch, but seventeen years for the aoorms
that hatch from the eggs to grow and
change into what arc called 'locusts,' D
but in reality only large flies The true
locusts are nearly related to our common
grasshoppers, quite distinct insects from
these ctccdas, or seventeen year locusts 4"
When you have read few books upon
Entomology all these distractions will be
readily understood-RuraI Neao Yorker

Near Mt. Pleasant, in Ohio, men can be
seen in the moving field clad in shirts
and skirts, the latter like woman's
petticoat. They defend the costume as
cool and comfortable and they hope to
see the day when every working man
will wear such clothes as best conduce to
his comfort. They claim that the Jews,
and the Disciples and even Christ him
selfEdressed in that fashion, and the idea
that it is ridiculous to dress woman fash
ion is a modern idea. IF women some
times wear the breaches, why should not
men sometimes wear the petticoat? Men
have rights as well az women and we are
glad to see they are daring to assert
them. saa eH -

Hot WATER AND PEACH TREE BoRERs

Hot WATER AND PEACH TREE BoRERs
In the Rural Neeo- Yorker Mr.. Chas E.
Neil inquiries how to keep the borers out
of his peach trees. If he is not afraid of
a little labor and time, he can do it
etfectually by scalding them. Last year,
in the spring of 1870, had peach tree
that set full of peaches after getting
about the size of hickory nuts, they began
to drop off and the leaves curled badly
and began to drop off untilI thought they
would all drop from the tree the ground
was covered with leaves By examination
/ found the trunk of the tree, just below
the surface OF the ground, lady bored by
the worms, and large quantity Of gum
oozed out on the surface. had no idea
1 could save the tree, but inclosed the
trunk of the tree with pipe, and filed it
with boiling hot water it was death to
the borers,and the tree had the best and
most abundant foliage of any tree on my
premises the largest leaves that ever
saw on any tree of the kind, also good
crop of peaches.

how JUDGE HELPED TO UNLOAD A

an eye witness to the TACT, related to us an
amusing circumstance which occurred
while Judge H-presided on the

old associates at the bar, he got into

DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATION AT AL
BANY.

BANl.
From the NJ Y. Forld.
We detest cant, and will say nothing of the
recent session which we do not honestly be-
leve. It is the first session in many years
when the Democratic party has had majority
in both branches of the Legislature, and the
party cannot escape its proper responsibility
for the use it has made of its power.
In point of integrity we suppose it will not
be disputed that this Legislature compares
favorably with any of its long series of Repub-
lican predecessors. 1t has not been charged,
or even suspected, that money has been used
to secure the passage of bills except in the
recent case of Winans. If Irving had not lost
control of himself and committed q violent
assault on another Democratic member, the
session would have closed without a breath of
the kind of scandal which has made all the
Republican Legislatures of the last ten
years foul stencil in the nostrils of
the people. We know nothing of the
motives of Winans; but if the Republicans
choose to blacken member of their own
party, it is not incumbent on us to defend
him. If their charges are true, they have
greater reason to be ashamed of him than we
have to be ashamed of Irving. The worst
that can be said of Irving is that he has an
uncomfortable temper, which is q venial fault
compared with that laid at the door of
Winans by the members of his own party. If
Irvings impulsive use of his fist had not COM
PEELED him to resign, we should have had, for
the first time in dozen years, a Legislature
in which no bill was passed by means open to
suspicion. A Democratic majority is thus
attended with the great moral gain of a puri-
fcation of the Legislature from the old taint
of bribery. When that narrow majority was
accidentally lost, the Republicans say that
member of their own party was in the market.
Their caucus implied that not merely one
but many Republicans were ready to be
bought, and that every Republican member
needed to be put under bonds. None but
Republicans could know their party so we'll.
The only effectual cure for legislative cor
ruption is the removal of temptation. Bills
that have money in them are the only ones
whose promotes can afferd fund for
bribery. To use a Scripture phrase, "where
the carcass is there will the eagles be gathered
together" 1t il the tariff and railroad grants
that supply the sltews of corruption in Con-
gress. 1t was the fat army contracts and the
building ef so many vessels that deraOralized
the public service during the war. The Albany

comings are slight indeed when compared
with the shameless misrule and universal cor
ruption which characterize the Democrats
when they obtain the upper hand. The best
commentary on this address is furnished by
Democratic legislation at Albany during the
past winter. When the people want the Ma
iional Government moulded on that Of this
State they will put the Democrats in power,
and not before.

THE EFFECTS OF MORAL SUAsIoN.-
Among the passengers from Victoria on
Tuesday last, was Peace River miner
who refused to pay his passage, and when
Informed that he would be put ashore at
the first port, made a crusade against
passengers, freight and the steamers pro-
perty, smashing window, etc. The Of
fcers Of the steamer ironed the disturber
of the peace. Capt. Starr was called, and
magnanimously offered to set the Often
der free on his paying his passage, but the
miner would see captain and vessel-some-
where else first. At Port Madison he
tried to escape, but was caught on the
wharf and returned to the steamer. Be-
fore the steamer reached Seattle, however,
he concluded that the odds we're against
him, and paid his fare, whereupon hostili-
ties ceased.

Considerable difficulty was manifested in

and it laid on the wharf some time, while
its projectors debated whether they should
move it to house or build house over

been decided upon, and that now the in.
