IRON FOR PEAR TREES.

4 correspondent of the Rural MesSe'a-
ger says: Il had very fine pesr tree
Flemish Beauty that became affected,
first by blight in one limb, which | re-
moved, and then another was affected in
the same way, until had removed con-
siderable portion of the top of the tree.
Early the next spring 1 resolved to try
the application of scrap iron to the roots.
l procured my iron, removed the soil
from the roots carefully, deposited the
iron between them ard replaced the
earth. There was no further progress in
the blight, the tree continued TO grow
that season, and the next leaves and
blossoms came out vigorously; no black
spots appeared on the leaves, and the tree
bore finely; and no appearance of disease
was seen on the tree sfterward. In sub
sequent conversation with friends found
that some of them had tried the remedy
with perfect success. Some told me they
had procured turning and drilling chips
from the machine shops and had used
them, as they thought, with much advan-
tage to their trees. F"

building.
Turner'S new building on South Market
street, is nearly ready for occupancy,

The finest sample of millet We have
seen this season, was brought in by Dick
Hays, the great egg packer, of Wilson
county. 1t is at Horizons in Broad
street.
A number of wagons loaded with empty
barrels yesterday arrived in the city, but,
strange to say, the hitherto infallible sign
failed. No rain came.
The telegraph wires which crossed the
river at the Suspension Bridge have been
transferred to the Railroad Bridge in Or
der TO prevent meddlesome boys from
telegraphipg on the sly.
Thieves are SO closely watched in the
city, that they are either doing very little
or going for things out of town. Some of
them are trying their hands in the coun-
try, but not to very great advantage.
Citizens should remember that the man
eltced Magistrate tomorrow is to become
a member of the County Court, and there
fore ought to have the qualifications neoes-
sary to proper p performance of his official
duties.
The Fire Department had light work
during the month of July, there being few
fires or alarms in that month. August
promises more briskness in this respect,
there having been two small fires before
the expiration OF the first day-st the store
of Byrne, Bro. & Co. at o'clock yester-
day morning, and at the foundry Of Bren-
nan Brothers yesterday afternoon.
A large, fGe, soft-shel- turtle, caught
last week down at South Harpeth by an
Edgefeld gentleman, and which sGbse-
qusntly escaped, was recaptured yesterday.
Obtaining the consent of the original
owner, the captor presented the soft
shelled prize to Bob Patterson, at the Lit

place<he will be made into soup for to-

A FEW FACTS C0NCERNiNG THE
PENNYROYAI.


A correspondent of the Summit Miss. y
Times writes from Oxford as follows:
Observing that your agricultural editor
has taken hold of the pennyroyal question,
win add few facts observed by myself,
to those given By him. have for some
years past repeatedly prepared the oil or
essence of the herb in quantity, and kept
it constantly on hand for domestic use.
Il is very pernicious to insects of all
kinds, be they lice, feas, ants, ticks, red
or bed bugs, or finally, STRIPED bugs"
at the same time it does not, like coal
oil. (sometimes used for similar purposes
affect iDjuriously either plants or the lar
ger animals, unless it be some persons
who have an Unborn aversion to the odor.
It can, therefore, be used to clear. hot
beds, green houses, etc., from all insect
pests, without in the least affecting the
plants.
Lice will generally leave promptly
when the plant is either sprinkled with
penny royal water, obtained by shaking
water with as much oil as it viii dissolve
and remain clear-not 30 well when the
herb tea is used, because it germs the leaf
surface more or less, or else, q flower
pot or other vessel, or even paper bag,
moistened with few drops of oil, is put
over the plant for while. A pod of
cotton moistened with few drops of it
will protect hill of melons or squashes
from the striped or any other bug for
three or four days. Ticks and evolves"
will speedily either collapse or ''git,
from any animal rubbed with the oil,
which will not then cause the violent and
sometimes dangerous Inflammation that
30 frequently follows a similar use of coal
oil.
Neither mosquitoes nor bedbugs will
readily cross the charmed circle of drops
you may have on your pillow with this
oil. Yet would always prefer bar
against the former; and against the latter,
when travelling, good sprinkling of the
genuine Persian Insect Powder, which is
infallible when fresh. At home, however,
general cleanliness, whitewash on the
walls if rough, and in early spring an ap-
plicatiOD, by means of a brush or feather,
of thin glue to all cracks and joints of
your bedstead, (whereby the eggs and
UIOOu dIC J
are effective remedies. Either penny
royal or coal oil will speedily cause the
Yermin to emigrate from any crack or
rough surface thsy may inhabit; but they
will return after the odor evsporates.
Az for the pumpkin lesf as fumigatiOn
against the house flies, the writer has in
his youthful days repeatedly choked him
self with that detestable Yapor, which no
living beings could endure with equanim-
Ity. But he always found that 80 soon as
he could endure the atmosphere of the
room, the flies did the same cheerfuny.
Here, again, cleanliness and wbitewash,
perhaps with the addition of Yankee fly
traps in the dining room, are the most
effectual remedies, and much safer than
fly poisons.
Were this oil of pennyroyal in as gen.
eral demand as its virtues justify, it
would pay well 10 manufacture it in some
portions of this State, as il does not ex
haust the soil sensibly with proper cul.

ROOTS FOR FORAGE.

The Practical Farmer says: SIN
view of the short hay crop, it will be
well for those farmers who have put in
plentifully of soWn corn and a good sup
ply of sugar beets. Fifteen to twenty
tons Of the former and thirty to forty
tons of roots per acre viii go far to make
up the loss of the hay. If neither of
these have been put in, the only remedy
now is a crop of ruta baga or common
white turnips. THE middle of the pres
ent month will yet do for the first, and
two or three weeks later for the latter
These latter should be sown, besides other
places, on the headlands of cornfelds, pre-
viously well and deeply stirred with the
cultivator, and fertilized with superphOs-
pilates. Ruta bsgas from America grown
seed are preferable to foreign, as they run
much less to what is called neck, and
make better shaped and more regular tu
bers. This crop requires drill culture.
Holbrook's seed drill and cultivatOr is the
proper implement, marking out the rows,
dropping and covering the seed and roll
ing the ground sll at one operation and
with great accuracy. The drills should
be wide enough for horse to pass be-
tween-not less than two and half
feet

nous Judgment of the Court of Claims,
since unanimously affirmed BY the Su-
preme Court But this sagacious action
of Congress- threw upon eli alien claim
ants the burden and delay of proving the
law of their own country, and as aliens
of nearly all nationalities had hsd cotton
seized, so the laws of nearly all the gov
ernments of Europe had to be shown.
The result is thus stated by the Court Of
Claims: eg. - ya-.
/" The laws of other nations have been
produced and proved in this court, and
the notifying fact is judicisly establish
ed that the government of the United
States holds itself, of nearly all govern
ments, the least amenabie to the law.
First in this high civilization that pro-
tects the Individual and assures his rights,
stands the great empire of the German
States. The State, says a lawyer, also
distinguished as writer, who was ex-
smined as witness in this court, repre-
sented in its pecuniary capacity as the
representative of money and property
affairs, is called TIE Fiscus. For the
purpose of maintaining suits sgainst the
government the Fiscus stands In fireplace
of the government; for the purpose of
compelling the payment of demands
against the State the Fiscus is substituted
for the State itself. / know of no re-
striction of the rights of the subject of
Prussia to maintain any suit against the
Fiscus. Judgments rendered against
the Fiecus may be satisfied in the usual
way, by execution. In Hanover and
Bavaria the redress is substantially the
game. In the republic of Switzerland
the federal tribunal takes cognizanoe
of suits between the confederation
Vn the one side and corporations or indi-
oidusls on the other, when these corpor-
atoms or private citizens are compliments
and the object of litigation is of the
value of at least 5000 francs. In Hol-
land, the Netherlands, the Hsnseatic Pro-
vinces, the free city of Hamburg, and
probably in all countries which have in
heriied the perfected Justice of the civil
law, the government is in legal liability
thus subject to the citizen. Even in
France, under the late empire, there was
a less circumscribed means of redress, a
more certain judicial remedy, more
effective method of enforcing the judy
ment recovered, than has been given to
the American citizen, notwithstanding
the pledge Of the constitution. Of all
the governments of Europe it is believed
Russia alone does not hold the State amen
able, in matters of property, to the law.
OF all the countries whose laws. have
been examined in this court Spain only
resembles the United States in lettering
the judicial proceedings of her courts by
and leaving the execution of
their DEGREES dependent upon the legisla-
tive will. ,"

A NEWARK paper calls attention to
curious resemblance between q poem en-
titled ''Cover Them Over" which was
delivered on Decoration Day, at Tecum-
sch, Mich, for which occasion it was
specially writttn, and another poem,
called ''Our Fallen Heroes" which was
read at another place on the same occa-
sion, and was published few days ago
in q Zanesville (Ohio) paper, having been
contributed to that journal by its presum-
ed author, reverend clergyman. These
poems, says the Newark paper, are ex-
actly, in every respect, similar, with the
exception of an occasional divergence in
language. The first named was written
by newly-fedged Wisconsin dealer in
rhymes, who has written some verses, en-
titled "Betsy and Are Out" and the
question is, who has made use of literary
property not his own-;his writer who
read 'fCover Them Over" or the rever-
end clergyman who read ''Our Fallen
Heroes?n The literary world might con-
clude that they are both fallen ''heroes,
who deserve to be covered over for theil
blunder in not preparing beforehand
agsinst the danger of publishing the same
poem under different names, and as By
divers and sundTy persons.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel, Aug. 1.
The Washington dispatches to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer contain the following
item in regard to Mr.. Hendricks:
"The Washington papers have published
that ex-senator Hendricks was here on
his way to White Sulphur Springs to
meet lot of Southern politicians on the
Presidential question. The statement is
untrue. Mr.. Hendricks having finished
his business here has left for Indiana"
MIR. Hendricks trip to Washington was
strictly on private and professional bust
ness, and when that was accomplished he
returned home. The action of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee in sug-
costing him as the Democratic candidates
for The presidency was taken during his
absence from the city, and without any
knowledge on bis psrt. Whatever his
friends may do, Mr. Hendricks hius self is
doing nothing to urge his claims for that
high position, for he does not look upon
it as one to be coveted, and besides he
entertains the idea of the better days of
this Republic, that the Office should seek
the man, ard not the man the office.
