Paris Green.

Mr. EDITOR: / sec no remedy in use among
potato growers, but Paris Green, which is said
to be certain death to the potato bug; and
while all agree that it is sure remedy, it is also
admitted or declared to be deadly poison. In
this progressive age when earth is subjected to
the chemists analysis, and its true Cor believed)
properties discovered us essential to the growth
of plants, and then by similar processes the pres
ence of valuable minerals are ascertained, and
in like manner posons are discovered, even in
post mortem, and that, too, long after decom-
position has taken place, may we not expect
science to come to the rescue of the great produ-
cling class, and not only tell us that Paris Green
will destroy this beetle, but also how far its poi
sons do, or may extend to the potato itself
have been deferred from the use of this poi
son, lest in getting rid of the bug by its use,
might entail greater evil on myself as well as
others, by eating or selling poisoned crop
Hoping that some of our Professors in chemistry
will take up this subject and tell us who grow
potatoes, what deleterous effect the Paris green
has on the growing potato; for while it is of
consequence to us to reap where we have sown,
yet we do not wish to do so at the expense of
the thousands of non. producers who might dis
cover, when too late, "therc is death in the pot"

Boss Shepherds Revenge.

The browning disgrace of the Forty third
Congress was the passage, surreptit;ously, Of
n bill the only object of which could have
been to punish the proprietors of newspapers
that might dare to criticise the actions of the
marauders who have been for years past
plundering the national treasury The bill
alluded TO provides that in cases of libel the
accused, no matter where he may reside, may
be presented before grand jury of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and be compelled to go
there for trial.
In pursuance of this scheme, the notorious
Boss Shepherd, whose dishonest dealings in
relation to the public Improvements at WASH
ington were laid bare by the New York San,
went before the grand jury in Washington
court, and asked for presentment against
the Hon. Charles A. Dana, editor of the San,
for alleged libel The jury, to their praise
he it spoken, refused to issue the prescntment
asked for, doubling their constitutional
right to do it; and thus that matter
stands.
This Infamous law is the severest blow
