ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF BISMARCK.
"A cable dispatch from Kissingen, Germany,
announces an attempt upon the lie Prince
Bismarck, who is now sojourning at that
famous resort. The would-be assassin fred
upon the prince while the latter was driving
out, the shot striking his wrist and inA;cting a
slight wound. The incident recalls the fact
that more than one i'll advised zealot has

REMEDIES AND PREvENTATIvEs OF
THE PEACH Month after month
our agricultural journals publish the
sterotyped remedies and representatives.
against this enemy, of scalding with
hot I've or boiling water, tobacco stems,
walnut bulls, wood ashes, lime, clay,
and an endless variety of cures, which
are sure to be supplemented with the
advice to examine the roots of the trees
and kill all the worms you can find,
which proves these specifics to be but
imperfect remedies or no remedies at all.
The simplest and best remedy we
ever knew-and we have tried it year
after year, and never knew it to fail, IN
a single instance, if properly done,-is
a small sheaf of rye or wheat straw
bound around the trunk of the tree at
the ground. Early in April, or as soon
as the frost is out of the ground, scrape
the dirt away from the stock of the
bic handful Of straw-the straw must
be straight-and place it around the
body of the tree, spreading it carefully
round till it forms covering of an inch
or half an inch around the trunk. Let
the straw rest on the ground around
the roots and extend up the tree foot
or more-it doesn't matter-above the
ground. After the straw has been
evenly distributed around the tree, pass
a piece of common wrapping cotton a
few times around the sheaf of straw,
near the top, so as to hold it securely
in place around the body of the tree
Be careful to adjust the straw evenly
about the trunk of the tree at the
ground, Tor there is where the moth
deposits its eggs from which the peach
tree borer is Matched. With hoe or
other tool draw the dirt back to the
tree on the ends of the straw; enough
to hold the bottom of the sheaf in place
This straw will last one season, and no
fly will ever be able to deposit its eggs
near enough to the bark of the peach
tree to hatch brood of young to pene-
trate the bark and feed on the sap of
the tree. This simple remedy we have
never known to fail in single instance,
unless the straw, by some means, had
been partially removed, and the bark at
the surface of the ground exposed.

THE INHABITANTS OF ALAsKA.-The
offer of certain Ieelanders to immigrate
to Alaska has again called attention to
the condition of semi-servitude i'm which
thousands of the inhabitants of Alaska
are held by the fur seal monopoly. In
order that the monopoly may not be in
terfered with, no attempt has been
made to organize the Territory, and it re-
mains as it was under Russia, the only
changes being that instead of a strict
and well-ordered government, the peo-
pie are controlled by q money-grabbing
corporation, with the aid of a few
soldiers, petty traders and saloon-keep-
ers, who have not failed to introduce a
number of vices formerly unknown to
the simple inhabitants. The females of
Sitka have even been wantonly insulted
by soldiers, and no attention has been
granted to the complaints of their hus-
bands and fathers In the Aleutian
Islands the natives are as much slaves
as the negroes of Florida or South Caro-
lima were before being liberated by the
army. The Aleutians are confessedly
not Indians, and therefore do not come
under the control of the Interior De
partment. They are citizens, and enti-
tied to the rights of citiZenf. Yet, be-
cause they have no influence in ma
tional affairs, and cannot help anybody
to Office, their petitions and their
wrongs are ignored by the Administra-
tiOn.

Refreshing.

How refreshing to common sense and
justice is it to turn from the utterances
of such men as Bradshaw, Chambers ct
al, Of the Oregon Legislature, to the
following words of wisdom from the
lips of Senator Stewart of Nevada, when
the question of Woman Suffrage came
before the Senate in the forty-third
Congress of the United States:
at is one of the evidences of the ad-
vance of civilization in America that
woman does occupy the position she
does here; and it is idle to say that soci-
ETY. will be destroyed by recognizing
her as having rights to protect.
at Is very we'll for women who
chance to have kind husbands and lux
uriOus homes, under the flattery of hus-
bands, to sneer at their less fortunate
sisters who are debarred every right. 1t
is very well for those WHO have luxury
and power and wealth to trampIe upon
the unfortunate that cry for bread and
for help. 1t is very easy TO philosophize
about laws and say that women are not
! fit for this place and not fit for that;
that it is indelieate, and all that kind of
thing, TO allow her to earn an honest
| living, or to have place in department
where she can do work; it is very well
for US to say, Here, we will give her
only half pay for the same labor but
they who serve and they who suffer feel
it differently. How is the voice of
woman on this subject to be heard ?
Shall it be heard from that class only
who are satisfied with their protection,
or shall the voice of the weak and the
/ Cf n fFtnr la nr1o fu
| for it to be heard? We see it daily.
"You talk about degradation. One of
the great sources of the degradation of
| this country, one of the great sources OF
the breaking pof families and destroy
ing society is your low groggeries, gam
bling-houses, and places of resort for
bad men, that are tolerated in spite OF
/ your laws, and will be so long as men
only vote. The women suffer by these
things; and that consideration alone
has often made me hesitate upon this
question. do believe that if the good
women of America could speak to-day,
they would reform many evils that we
wink at or allow TO exist because we
want the votes of the parties who are
committing these sins against society.
l say let the women have n voice; and
when it is said this is ill-considered,
that ii is not the proper time, and
that it is too serious n business to be
considered by the Senate of the United
States on this bill, tell you society is
marching on to it, aud as / remarked
| before, il will not be ten years before
there will be no voice in this Senate
/ against Woman Suffrage. 1t is neces-
saTy for women, If they are to be pro
/ tected i'm society and not to be the prey
of man, that they shall have the ballo
! to protect themselves. 1t is the only
thing in free government that can pro
tect any one; and whether it is n natu
raj right or an artificial right, it is nOn-
sense to discuss.
at is a necessary right; il is necessary
I to freedom; il is necessary to equal
rights; it is necessary to protection il
/ is necessary for every class to have the
ballot if we are going to have a square
deal and equal rights"

The Post Office Department is out of
stamped envelopes, and likely to remain
in that rather unlucky condition for
some time. The contract for furnishing
stamped envelopes was recently let, but
the contractors have not yet had time to
provide the machinery for their manu-
facture, and in the meantime the Gov
ernment has sold out. a circular to
postmasters has been issued reeiting
these facts, and those of the public who
desire to buy envelopes will know, after
reading this paragraph, why they can
not be had at present.
