now at Detroit, is to be placed in honora-
BILE retirement, to make room for the COM
ing Brigadier on the active list. This re-
tirement has been delayed because, if made
while there were six other Brigadiers on

the loss of Gen. Candy has reduced the
number to the lawful limit, and the next

NEW YORK PRESS IN A NEW ROLE
one Way of Growing Rich.

The special correspondent of the New
York Times at Albany thus exposes an al
legged swindle of The Tribune, Ne,Cs and
Herald. An investigation shows: First,
that some of the claims, including those of
the Tribune, have been paid in full, and
receipts for the amounts are held in the
Finance Department second, that others,
like that of the Herald, are simply over
charges; it was shown that that journal
published Mayor Halls message as news
and charged the City SIS, 900 for it as an ad-
vertisement, while the full rates for it,,
counting line by line, only made $1,000,
and this last sum had been paid and the
bill receipted in full; third, that other
claims were frauds pure andsimple. A file
of the Daily Netcs was shown purporting
to be the daily issue, with the advertise
ments crOwding the columns for six
months, and on examining the papers it
was found that they had been manufac-
tured for the special purpose of presenting
these advertisements as claims against the
city. 4 One of the papers had full account
of the Boston fire in it, with the headings
dated two months before, and city adver-
tisement of the same time. In this way
corporation notices inserted once were
made standing advertisements for eight or
nine weeks and over.

THE ARMY WORM.
Fearful Depredations

EDITORS CHRONICLE chronicle the
fact with painful regret that the army
worm has made its appearance in East
Tennessee, and that its depredations, in
some localities, have been fearful. The
other day, while at Talbott's Station, I
learned from Mr.. Quarels, of the firm of
Roberts & Quarels, that vast army had
entered the we'll arranged farm Of Joseph
Eckel, had utterly destroyed thirty acres
of fine clover and were advancing upon his
oats. Itwas thought that he would flank
their movements, as he was busy making
trenches or bitches across their path way.
They seem to be travelling eastward, aud
there is no telling the immense damage
they will accomplish in the end. Mr..
Quarels informed me that, in passing over
the field of Mr.. Eckel, he discovered hun
dreds of them just under the surface of the
soil.
No one, presume, has ever seen this ter
rible enemy to the farmer come so early.
1t is generally later In the season. What
particular causes have combined to pre-
cipitate his operations, is a question for
somebody to settle. When he makes his
appearance, his movements are so rapid
that he usually foils every attempt 10 cut
HIM off. In an hour or two hesweeps over
acres of land. carrying complete dest uc-
ton in his journey. Various methods have
been employed to check his progress, and
among them that of turning poultry and
hogs into the field, and trenches or bitches.
Thus far in the season, the farmers hive
had but little to encourage or stimulate
them in their work. The long winter. the
cold and dry spring, and now the army
worm, have somewhat a5ated their ardor.
Still, a just Sovereign relgns, and He will
do right. ALONZO DANTE.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The ladies of Greene
vile are under obligations to your city for
their acquaintance with Miss French, one
of your physicians, who, if she were not
living there, would not be visiting here.
Her patients bear ready testimony to her
ability, and this Afternoon other ladies
were privileged to hear with them a lecture
on the subject of Food how to cook it,
and digestion" It was given in CONVEX
sational tone. Questions were freely asked
and answered, and all were profited.
Mastication, including the use and abuse
of the salivary glands; digestion, with
the offices of the fluids; the effects of diff
ferent articles of food and drink; what
dyspeptics should eat the necessity of
using good, light bread, and of avoiding
the excessive use o lard and butter in
cooking. These subjects, with many other
important suggestions and illustrations,
occupied the hour. Surely the noble work
that Miss French is doing ought to be APP
preciated. L. c.. B.
