NEW YORK CITY.

NEW York, May 2s.-MSyor Welty, Of
New Orleans, has addressed another ur-
gent appeal Tor aid TO Mayor Havemeyer,
Ol New York, ,in which he says "Will
New York come to the rescue Of our des,
tiIute, ruined and famishing peopleT A
deadly famine In Louisiana would be q
national disgrace, which the wealth and
philanthropy Of America must prevent at
all hazards" WEI .a : y
COMMENTING ON THE DISPATCH.
The Times says II Mayor Welty desires
help from this city, he should address the
Chamber Of Commerce, or anybody but
Hayemeyer. That individual has sunk
so low in public estimation, nobody Ia
willing TO trust him in anything. ,.
The Board Of Aldermen, by a decisive
vote, have requested the Mayor to sus.
pend or remove the Police Commission.
ers for malteasance In the administration
Of two Of the most important depart
ments Of their office. Ss! ~. IL.
Tho Tribune states that the Police Com.
missioners complacently assert that the
assault upon them Is nero childs play, in.
asmuch ts the Mayor ia their sworn ally.
The Herald says Of this police business
that the Mayor IS not likely to heed the
voice Of tho city as expressed through the
Common Council. His personal interests
are too much identified with dumping
and other irregularities 10 render 1t prob
able that he will pay any attention to
the Aldermen.
RESIGNED.
Commissioner Wales, In published
letter this morning, has resigned from the
Department at Parks, constrained to do
30 he says owing 10 the meddlesomo dis
position Of Comptroller Green, OF whom
he writes, ut would rebound to his credit
II, while paying strict attention to his own
duties, which are arduous enough to tax
all his time and capacity, he would cease
TO inlermeddle with officers Of other
municipal departments and stop the prac.
tice Of covertly undermining the official
character and capacity Of those who are
equally with himself responsible to the
public Judgement"

missioners are in Europe, and the mi

HOW TO USE PARIS GREEN.

The following directions for the use
of Paris green to destroy the caterpillar
have been handed us from an Old piah-
ter, who has used it successfully:
Have barrels of water placed at con-
vcnicnt points in the field-about TWO
barrels to the acre. Put half a Pounu
of the Paris green into each barrel, ana
fill with water, keeping well stirred
before using. The best plan is to test
the strength by experiment, beginning
with a mixture strong enough to turn
the leaves of the plant, and gradually
re <lucing it to the desired strength. a
great deal will depend upon the quality
Of tn article, and care should therefore
be taken in purchasing it, as it is liable
to be much adultcrated.
After getting a mixture of the desired
strength put Il man on a mule and give
him a good watering pot fllel rom
the barrcll. Sprinkle the plant then

THE COTTON CATERPILLAR.

The Albany, Ga, News of 23d ult.
has startling news from the cotton fields,
being no less than the appearance on
several places of the cotton caterpillar,
in large numbers. Tho fly had been
heard of already in many other locali-
ties, but this was the first reliable am
nouncment of the dreaded destroycr's
appearance. Last year, says the News,
the alarm was a little earlier, but the
crop was also earlier.
The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer, COM
mcnting on the News announcement,
presumes that this is what is termed
the second crop or brood of caterpiliars;
the third brood being the one that
comes in q few weeks after the second
and in such immense numbers rs to de-
stroy the growing cotton.
In connection with this important
subject the Albany, Ga, News of the
25th, publishes the following, which
will be read with interest by all plan
tcrs:
"Judge ID. A. Vason has been study
ing the nature and habits Of the cotton
caterpillar, and thinks by tho co-Opera-
ton of the planters its ravagcs may, in a
great degree, be prevented.
'slIcsay that there arc three crops of
the caterpillar annually, succeeding
each other with an interval Of about
six weeks. The first crop does little or
no damage, except by producing
another and larger crop. This second
crop is not very destructive, but repro
duccs so abundantly as to scatter mill
lions of the third crop throughout the
land.
"The third crop came on last year in
the early part of August, and from
Mitchell county north, between the Flint
and Cattahoochee, covered the country,
the moth flying from fifty to sixty
miles.
"The remedy he suggests is, for the
planters all to destroy the first and
second crops with Paris green, or Other
poison, wherever they may be found,
here and there, webbing in the fields.
He thinks that this may be done at q
small outlay for the poison; whereas, il
the planter wait for the third crop, the
cost of the poison and the work of dis
tributing it are very heavy.
"The suggestion is at least worthy OF
consideration, and we think it advisa.
bic for the Grangers to think about and
discuss it, and if the idea be deemed Il
good one, adopt means to test its
virtue.'
