The paid up capital of the Royal Canadian

A PARTISAN BUBBLE PRIcKED-Two or
three democratic papers, being hard pushed for
material for criticism on the action of the Re-
publican State Convention, have invented the
story that the Good Templar Lodges of the
State controlled the nomination Tie himsi-
ness of such criticism is apparent, when it Is
remembered that the Good Templar Lodges of
the State are in large part composed of women
and minors, and that of the comparatively few
voters in them, some of them are of democrat
ic proclivities. Perhaps some of these ingenu-
ous critics can tell US how it would be possible
to do any political work through such organiza-
tions, where every word said, or act done,
would at once become public property.
As matter of fact, the subject, so far as we
know and believe, has not been alluded to in
any Lodge in this State; and no communication
them, with reference to the nomination. We do
not know that dozen members of such Lodges
were in the Convention. Let these plain facts
show how much reliance is to be placed on criti-

Canker Worms.

The city of Portland has long been famous
for its beautiful trees; but in the great fire
many of the finest were destroyed; since that
time some have been permanently injured by
grading of the sidewalks, by allowing horses
to gnaw the bark, and by covering the ground
around their roots with a waterproof asphalt
pavement. In addition to these calamities the
canker-worm has begun its ravages and the
beautiful arches of State and Spring streets
are threatened with destruction by the myriad
worms now descending to enter their autumnal
quarters. They bury themselves, during the
latter part of June, in the earth, and there go
through their transformation into moths.
These come out of the ground at various times,
some early in October, others later whenever
the ground is open, even as late as the first of
May. The male and female moths are of very
different appearance, the male flying about
freely in every mild day during the fall and
winter, seeking the female, which is wingless
and creeps always to the nearest tree and
climbs up to lay her eggs; unless, as is some
times the case, the male assists her by carrying
her part way up the trunk.
This sketch of the natural history of the pest
will explain the methods used for its destruc-
ton, or rather prevention. The effort usually
has been to prevent the female from ascending
the tree. The best mode of accomplishing this
is to tack broad strips of paper around the
trunk, pretty well above the ground, higher
than the male can carry the female, and keep
them smeared during all mild weather, from
October to May, with the cheapest quality of
printing ink, or other sticky substance To
save the labor of this constant smearing others
put tin collar round the tree, turned down at
q sharp angle. The female reaching backward
to get over from the upright to the slanting
part of the collar, falls.
saw man in State street few DAYS since
doing what have always thought might be an
effectual thing in the warfare against the
worm; he was destroying them as they de-
scended. The descent from the tree does not
usually occupy more than six or eight days in
June; the ascent of the moth occupies six
months, from October to May. The labor of
keeping the trees protected during those six
months. might if concentrated into six days of
came from the tree, before it had time to creep
lnto tne earth They might be constantly
swept into heaps and crushed. Or the ground
might be strewn under the trees for the one
week of their descent with rowan hay, saw
dust chaff, or whatnot and sprinkled twice
day for the six DAYS with whale oil soapsuds
this hay or chaff afterwards would make q
valuable compot, as it would be full of dead
worms.
Some concerted, or else municipal action
ought certainly to be promptly taken to pre-
vent our city from being robbed of its highest
ornament in external beauty. 1t would be
worth great deal to save us from the necessi-

chattering pugnacious European sparrow,

Ahc ~. L. ItnleS OF tne Z0th says:
Maine Republicans enter heartily and in the
proper spirit upon the political campaign of the
year At the State Convention yesterday. Hon
Nelson Dingley, Jr., a man of good public
record, was nominated for Governor and the
resolutions were direct and satisfactory unon
leading issues The most important was in re-
laton to the salary steal, which was upeuuivo
cally denounced, and the repeal of the law de-
manded. Hon. VIM. p. FRYE, member of Con
gress from the Second District, pledged the
whole delegation of the State to vote for the re-
peal, and the party there is thus fully relieved
OF the infamy of the measure Entering upon
the contest with such declarations as these, and
IN the spirit di played yesterday, proper efforts
VIII lie rewarded with decided Republican
triumph.

THE Massachusetts Board of Health has
issued circular in relation to precautions to be
taken against the possible coming Of the Ash
attic cholera and in behalf of the public health
generally. The dispatches from the south
west published the past ten days, are of a
character calculated to lead all considerate
people to take every possible precaution to pre-
vent this and other diseases. There is no
cause for alarm, unless our neighborhood in
vites the cholera by its filth. Ifsuch is the
case,we are in dai ger,not only of this disease
but Others. The only rule to be followed is,
cleanliness everywhere. Every foul sewer,
reeking cess poo, and vault welcomes the
cholera; and while there is no occasion for
alarm, if cleanliness is secured now, there is
ground for serious apprehension if these
precautions are neglected.
