HoT WATER FOR PLANr 'Nskcrs. -
Most plants in vigorous hea IT,. 1t is
currently stated, will bear an application
of water heated to 140 degrees Fab, and
most insects infesting them can be killed
by water heated to 100. Hot water Is
easily applied to house plants, and hence
n ready means is furnished for destroy
ing large numbers OF plant vermin. A
thermometer thrust into the water will
quickly show the degree of heat, and by
immersing the plants into it for minute
or two, the insects will be cooked into
harmlessness.

, Gen. Burnside on Greeley.

Maj. Gen. Burnside, in an able speech in
New York few evenings ago, gave his
reason why he favored the election of Gen.
Grants and was opposed to Horace Greeley.
His speech closed as follows
6 He was quite sure that there was not
q single man, be he Democrat or Repub-
lican, who would give his support to a man
who did not use his best efforts to save the
country. His support, therefore, should
be given to General Grant, and Withheld
from Mr.. Greeley. He believed Mr.. Gree
ley to be hating, hesitating man. He
would not disparage him for a moment per-
ssonally. lie may be as honest as any man
upon the earth, but he is halting and hesi-
,tattng in the hour of emergency. When
MIR. Greeley promised an armistice in,the
lSeeid he felt that prop upon which he had
lea, ned was taken away, and thousands up-
on thousands of loyal hearts throughout
the c, ,untry felt the same way. When
Mr.. (,Nreeley went to- Niagara Falls to
negotiate with rebels, it made the hearts
of thous 'ands of loyal soldiers in the
field sink. He did not say that General
Grant had himself paid 500, 900. 900 Of the
public debt; or that he had punished all
the office-holders who had been delinquent;
but he knew him at W est Point, and du-
ring the Mexican war, as W. VI as during the
war Of the rebellion, and had always 1onnd
him truthful, straightforward, aei le
unambitious man-as true man as she
world had ever known" ICheers.1 am

Fall of an Aerolte-A Solid Metallic Globe
PIunges Thirteen Feet Int the Earth.
From the st. Louis Democrat, August 2

from the st. Lous Democrat, August 81
A year ago this summer Mr.. John j..
Murdoch, who lives near Laelede Station,
mentioned casually to Mr.. Frank j. Bow
man that he had discovered a peculiar hole
in the ground in meadow near his house,
and said that for the life of him he couldn't
imagine what made it. 1t was twelve or
fifteen inches in diameter and seven
Freight feet in depth. Mr.. Bowman suggested
anaerolite, but that was laughed at. To mark
the place fence rail was thrust in it, and it
enclosed eight feet of rail before the bottom
was reached. This summer the matter was
again discussed, and various speculations
were INDUCED in to account'for the peculiar
opening. After The hay had been cut Mr..
Murdoch consented that the workmen
should examine it. They Immediately set
to work, and, after digging down not eight
feet but thirteen came upon a spheroid
globe of metal, which was evidently an
aerolite. 1t presents the strange appearance
of miniature globe fashioned after the
pattern Of the earth, being flattened at the
poles and encrusted in such manner as to
indicate that it was in flames as it passed
through the air. The fattened poles are
perfectly smooth, and bear no marks ofheat.
1t ia about the size of a large 12-pound can
non ball, fully fifty per cent. heavier, and
solid metal, the nature of which has not yet
been ascertained. 1t was brought to this
city yesterday, and excited considerable
curiosity. 1t is intended, we believe, to
present it to the Mercantile Library.
The velocity with which it fell may be
Judged from the fact Of deep penetration
into the earth---thirteen feet. The farthest
that cannon ball has been forced into an
embankment is six feet, and this is a feat
only accomplished at recent experiments by
the British navy.

THE GRANITE OF DINWIDDIE.-Yes-
terday afternoon a party of some sixty cit
liens, on invitation, made q visit to the
Booth Granite Quarry in Dmwiddie coun-
ty, some six miles from town. A special
train carried theparty quickly and pleasant
ly to the scene of operations and an hour
was proftably spent in examining the extent
and quality of the granite already exposed,
and in observing the modes Of raising it.
T. B. Booth & Co., the owners, have ex-
hibited commendable energy in their prepa-
rations to develop the stony wealth which
has SO long lain neglected. A siding, $500
feet long, gives access to the line of the
Southside railroad powerful engine is
;,cessantly engaged in raising the blocks,
joosene ed in their bed by the blast and the
dill while strong derrick lends its skin
hi aid to hoist the stone and lay it upon
the flats ready to transport it to deep water.
The company is now delivering to I'LL a
contract for 10000 feet OF cufbing OF dimen-
sion as follows: Six inches face, two inches
back, twenty inches deep; length to be not
less than six feet The stone is sold IN
Washington at paying rates and the ease
with which it cleaves, Its texture ana
strength, and, what is more important, the
evident extent Of the deposit leave no room
to doubt that the Booth Quarry will be the
source of a wealth and the centre of an in
dustry before unheard of in the county of
Dinwiddie.s u .fs ait lS.r.5i
The company considers itselfto be but
on the threshold of its undertaking, yet,
with some twenty-five hands, plus the der
rick and omnpotent steam, they have al
ready taken out large quantity of dImen
sion stone and developed mass on winch
many times the present working force could
iii nd employment for years.
Experts pronounce the stone to be of re-
ruArkably good quality and to possess all
the conditions of profitable quarrying, as
convenient angle of inclination, good cleav-
age, symmetrical crystalization, great
hardness and closeness of grain, and a
length Of seam and uninterrupted mass
which place il among the best deposits in
the country. SstaH ai l-- asE-a5E
4, Our party, who were by no means ex-
peIts, could see for themselves huge blocks
split like white pine under the drill and
wedge, could see that one operation, cost
ing but minute or two, lifted the granite
from its bed to the car, and could look
with wonder upon slabs twenty inches
wide and more than thirty feet long.
. 1t is needless to say that every citizen
present, whatever his creed, pursuit or pri-
waite interests, babe hearty God speed to
this important enterprise, and tits but sober
truth to say that the Booth Quarry promis-
esi toaestablishl q new and great industry
among our people. Pdersbng Iader.

THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regu.
larity, has none of the temporary timely in
terest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. 1t
Is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and
graceful literature, and {; collection of pictures,
the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black
and white. Although each succeeding number
affords fresh pleasure to its frienus, the real
value and beauty of THE ALD1NE will be most
appreciated after it has been bound up at the
close of the year. While other publications may
claim superior cheapness compared with
rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE is a
unique and original conception-alone and un-
approached-absolutely without competition in
price or character. The possessor of tbs volume
just completed cannot duplicate the quantity of
fine paper and engrayings in, any other shape or
number of volumes for ten times its cost.
The labor of getting The ALDINE ready on
the press is great that reprintng is out of the
question. With the exception of a small num-
Der specially reserved for binding, the edition Of
1871 Is already exhausted, and il is now scarce
as we'll rs valuable book. a.F- r-s
