ONE WAY TO Sror CHGNCH BUGs.-A
correspondent of the Prairie farmcr.
writing from southern Illinois, thus de
~criac, his way to keep chinch bugs from
raining his corn: If the bugs are in your
corn, say Il few rows make up yonr mind
to give them that amount, and between
these rows and the remainder of your
corn. and on all sides. if there is any prob
ability Of their coming in, plow a ditch,
with @ocd size1 plough, rs deep rs you
can with one horse, throwing burrows, one
on one side and the other opposite, then
itch your horse to Il log, say eight inches
in diameter and seven feet long. Mount
your log and drag through your ditch or
bitches until the earth is IT'S dry and fine
rs -four in the bottom. and on both sides.
Keep it in this condition by dragging your
LOG twice Il day. And the consequence
VII be that few, very few, bugs will get
over. the fine earth on the sides affording
no loothod. This way is simple, easy
and sure. and if Your chinch bugs can
climb the sides of such ditch their
powers of Iocomotion are better than
the breed in Egypt.

DESTR0YERS Or FRUIr.-Dr. Trimble,
of New jersey, exhibited to the Farmer
Club specimens of several worms destruc-
tive of fruit plants and trees. and some
branches and leaves showing the ravages
of the destroyer. Among the specimens
was the crurant worm. which, DR.. Trimble
said. several years AGO almost entirely
destroyed the crop in Western New York
The worm, Il rather pretty creature, DR..
Irimbe stated was a spec es of slug.
He thought it advisable to allow Young
chickens to run among the bushes at
acked by these worms us they make their
first appearance in the under part of the
bushes. and the chickens can easily pick
them up Another worm exhibited was
one which destroys apples, which DR.,
Trimbe denomnated the apple borer. :"
On account of its boring its way, gimlet
ike into the apple. Several sprigs of
trees in the New York city parks were
shown with leaves almost DESTROYED by
:atcrpilars The birds would take the
worms in their beaks, apparently out OF
curiosity. and would then reject them
The ca.rrpjlllrs were, he was satisfied,
perfectly safe among the sparroWs. There
We're large colonies of sparrows in the
parks, and the caterpiilars We're undis-
turbed AMI daily increasing in number
The worm was plentiful in the southern
part Of Central Park. but was scarcer in
he northern. because there are other birds
TO be found there besides sparrows.

Kedzie, of the Michigan Agricultural Col

experiments to determine the actual value
of old sod manure. He took square foot
of June grass turf and washed away all
the soil in running water, and then weigh
ell the roots and surface grass to determine
the amount OF green manurial matter
usually contained in a heavy greensward,
and found it to be five pounds to the square

PERFUME OF Flowers HEALTHFUL.-
Ah Italian professor has made researches
which lead him to assert that vegetable
perfumes exercise Il heathfuI influence on
the atmosphere, converting its oxygen in
to ozone and thus increasing its oxidizing
influence. The essences that develop the
largest quantity Of ozone are those of
cherry, laurel, palmarosa, cloves. lavender,
mint, juniper, lemons, fennel, and berga-
mot; those that give it in less quantity are
anise, nutmeg, caieput and thyme. The
flowers OF the narcissus, hyacinth, mig
nonette, heliorope and lily of the valley,
develop ozone in closed vessels. Flowers
destitute of perfume do not develop it,
and those which have but slight perfume.
develop 1t only in small quantities. As
a corollary from these facts, the professor
recommends the use of flowers in marshy
districts, and in places infested with ami
mal carnations, as the powerful oxidiz-
ing influence Of ozone may destroy them
The inhabitants of such regions should
surround their houses with beds of the
most odorous flowers.

paper retracts the offending assertions
within a week. The article which Mr..
Baker takes exception to appeared in
last nights Every Evening, and the
particularly offensive paragraph reads
as follows
I'm the Fourth Ward, James P.

Councilman, ought to be elected by a
good majority over McMullen, the
Ring candidate, and will be, if Bakers

This inferential charge of attempted
fraud Mr.. Baker decidedly objects to,
and on it he will base his grounds for
libel suit. He claims that the charge
affects his character as private citi,
zen, and in nowise refers to him in his
public capacity, in which case he
would pay no attention whatever to it.
But now he declares unless the charge

the publishers of Every Evening will

In Media, Delaware county, Pa, resides
a wealthy and respectable family by the
name of Tyler. The husband is engaged
in business in this city, and is seldom at
his home over night. On the evening Of
the 10th Of August last, in the absence Of
all of the family excepting Mrs. Tyler,
who is well advanced in years, probably
sixty years, the residence was broken in
to and robbed Of some small articles, by
a brute in human form, who, not content
with the plunder secured, forced himself
into the old lady's apartment, and there
brutally and grossly assaulted her. When
the case was placed in the hands of the
Pennsylvania Detective Bureau (Taggart
Lukens, and Carlin) the named officers
had not the slightest clue upon which to
work. However, they ascertained in the
early part Of June several of the hands
discharged, and one of them Charles Laun
Swede, had been in Media the night be-
fore the robbery. This was clue eager

DICATIONs.
One of the most sificant points con-
nected with the election to-day, is the
fact that of the one hundred and forty
men who were employed on the new
reservoir yesterday only about sixty
went to work this morning, and but
ONE NEaRoE WAS ON THE GROUND.
The reason was obvious The rest of
the workmen were all in the city, work
ing in the interest of the "City Ring"
1t was sight this morning, after
nine O'clock, to cast the eye in the vici-
nifty of the Water Department Office,
at Tenth and Market streets. Some
fifty or sixty negroes lounged about the
corners awaiting the orders of their
masters, whom they obeyed with an
alacrity and servility far surprising
that displayed by the meanest field hand
of the South in slavcry's palmy days.
They waited about the office door,
leaned against the tree boxes and spread
themselves along the church yard wall.
They seemed to have no definned plan
of action and waited only until their
masters shamelessly sent them forth to
degrade the very ballot which they ac-
quired through the shedding of the ma
tion's..best blood, In looking at the va
cant countenances of these miserable,
mindless wretches, it seemed as if their
cxpressionless faces, as they gazed at
each other, bore the inscription.
'r'M CAPTAIN GALLAeHER's COON
WHO'S COON ARE YOU ?"
By this time they are spread over
the city, and the Democrats should
keep 4 sharp look out for them, and
seize them the instant they attempt to
cast an illegal vote.
The election is now progressing, and
thus far has been conducted very
quietly. The liquor saloons have been
closed all day, and no unusual drunk
enness is manifest. Both parties are
| working hard, and it is with pleasure
we state that the indications point to
Democratic success.
This evening, as soon as the returns
can be obtained, extra editions of the
GAZETTE will be issued from this
office, which will contain the full
result.
