i HE IOPE LAST Observation-Disclosures
text of the Pope's encyclical issued Au-
gust s, mention Of which was made by
telegraph, is received by mail. He
thanks oil Roman Catholics for their
abundant demonstrations of affection
towards him, as displayed upon his at
taining the twenty sixth year of his pom
ti6cate. He believes that if they will
continue to unite their VOWS aud suppl
cations to his. that 'tthe full and abso-
lutte triumph Of the Church. will be &C.
cured "The destruction of oil the
earthly allies of hell'' is confidently
looked for. and there is not the slightest
hint given of any design to abandon the
venerable claims of the pontificate to
temporal power. nor is there even a
temporary acquiescence in the situation.
The address is ably and moderately
written, but it is tinged throughout with
certain melancholy, naturally sug-
gested by the great changes which hnve
recently taken place.

A Washington despatch says it has
been the opinion Of the Treasury officials
for some time past that the rapid and
continued increase of the claimants on
the pension lists after the war had so
long Terminated was somewhat irregular.
Investigations have been made from time
to time. but these have only developed
isolated cases of fraud, in most of which
the offenders have been brought to jus
tice. Detectives in the service of the
Treasury Department now profess to
have got on the track Of Information,
which. when thoroughly sifted, will
open up wide field of fraud in this
branch Of the public service. It is as
serted that combinations exist, extend
ing throughout the large cities. especial
~ in the Southern States, which have
made regular business OF working up
fraudulent lists of colored claimants who
never had On existence, except in the
imaginations of the swindlers. -

SWEARING The most truthful and
straightforward article on this dis
gushing habit that we have ever read
is the following, whose author S
name we are not acquainted with !:
ut is no mark of gentleman to
swear. The most worthless and vile,
the refuse of mankind, the drunkard
and the prostitute, swear as we'll as
the best dressed and educated gentle
man. No particular endowments
are requisite to give q finish to the
art of swearing. The basest and
meanest of mankind swear with as
much tact and skill as the most re-
fined and be that wishes TO degrade
himself to the very lowest level of
pollution and shame, should learn to
be a common swearer. Any man
has talent enough to learn TO curse
God, and imprecate perdition on his
fellow men. Profano swearing new
err did any man any good. No man
is the richer, or wiser, or happier for
it. 1t helps no ones education or
manners. 1t commends no one to
any society. 1t is disgusting to the
refined, abominable TO the good, de-
grading to the mind, improbable,
needless, and injurious to society.
When only to profane His name, to
call His vengeance down, to curse
Him, and to invoke His vengeance,
is perhaps of all offenses the most
awful in the sight of God"

"One remedy recommended for
the destruction of this insect is TO

remove the sods and earth around

away the loan. replacing it after
washing the roots with fresh loan or

infected beyond the reach of the
applications, should be cut off and
burned

Prepare bed by spading to the

the soil Thoroughly with well rotted
manure. Make treuch about spade

inches apart in the row, placing the
roots in a natural position with their
crowns three inches below the surface
then set another row, and another,
and so on, until the bed is filed. 1t
