this place, tells US that he has tried the
Paris Green remedy for bugs on plants,
and finds it to work all right. He took
about q dimes worth of the Paris
Green, and mixed 1t thoroughly In

gust and died, and the plants remained
free from them thereafter.

Tyranny in q United States Navy.
Yard. ss

Here is. the way the xorkingmen in
the Government Navy-yard at Vallejo,
California, were treated by the minions
of a tyraunical and corrupt Admins
tration at the late election. We quote
from the Solano Democrat, of the 9th
inst, the following:
1--WE wish that every voter in Afnerica
could have witnessed the scene enacted
in Vallejo on election day. If it did
not disgust them thoroughly with Re-
publicanism it would be because they
are hopelessiy corrupt themselves. We
wish they could have seen the long
strings of men who were driven TO the
polling places by the foreman of the
Navy yard, and compelled TO vote an
open pasteboard ticket, about half an
inch wide by five inches long. The Of
ficers of election had screens built in
front of the polling places high enough
TO protect the meE from the scrutinizing
eyes of their bosses, SO that they might
have an opportunity to vote without in
timidation, but this interfered with the
plans of the foremen, who went early
in the morning and tore off the planks.
They stationed themselves at each poll
ing-place. A person peddled the tick
cts and saw that they were deposited,
while another stood by with hook con
tanning all the names of the Navy yard
employees voting at the precinct and
checked off such as dared to vote against
tile will of their masters. The men
marched up in line, and were not per.
mitted to have tickets until they were
ready to deposit them. We never in
our life witnessed SO humiliating q
sight"

A WOnderftiI Story.

SAVANNAH, Ga, September 1S--A
most wonderful story is told here of a
startling phenomena in Florida A large
portion of Orange county has changed
to lake, and has enguifed houses and
people. There were many witnesses,
ono Of whom says the first thing that
attracted attention was the trees moving :;
first general rotary motion, some sink
ing gradually out oflsight, the tops re-
volving more and more as they sank
and disappeared, the others following.
and as they fell, dashing a huge volume
of spray up against the sky; then the
whole earth as far as the eye could
reach commenced sinking, and its place
was supplied by sea of waters, rush
ing, seetling and boiling, with the sound
of mighty cannons, and ever and anon
casting to the surface the roots and tops
of mighty pines and oaks. The coun-
try in every direction is entirely sub,
merged, and is now one vast lake. 1t is
rumored that the town of Orlando is
swallowed up, and that the whole chain
of lakes, from Apohka to Conway, are
now united and form an immense in
land sea. The people are flying terror

The PHILADELPHIA Ring,

The debt OF Philadelphia is fifty mil
lions of dollars, twenty millions more
than that of the State of Pennsylvania
More than thirty millions Of this debt
has been piled up Since the Radical par
ty obtained control of the city councils
And what has all this expenditure of
money accomplished for Philadelphia ?
Where are the improvements, the public
buildings and the parks, which this lav
ish outlay ought to have given that city !!
New York may have expended much
money; there may have been fraud in
the disbursing of the city funds-there
doubtless was under the rule of the
Radical supervisors-but some return
was made to the taxpayers of Gotham
in the splendid public buildings, the
magnificent parks, and the improve
ment of theistreets of2their city. But
Philadelphia is just beginning her i'm
provements. If it takes fifty millions
to get ready for these jobs, how much
will be required before they are finished.

officials of the State have. in two
years, plundered the State of more than

preston, extortion and blackmailing are
resorted to in q most unscrupulous man.

save the snug little sum of a quarter Of
