A Trap for Cut W Orms.

There is no trustworthy remedy against
cut-worms except actual catching and kill
ing them. Any application to the soil
sufficiently strong to injure or discommode
them would certainly destroy the crop, and
all the recommendations to use salt, carbolic
acid, and other similar substances may be
set aside as useless in practice. We have
trapped them in various ways, beneath
chips, stones, and in holes punched in the

Secretary Bristow has effected a contract
with representatives of certain foreign
banking houses for the sale of S35, 600, 900
OF the five per cent nation loan yet remain
ing on hand. About $10,000,000 was
taken by American bankers, making S45,-
100000 in all, and leaving some S124, ,OOO,-
900 still to be placed. But as the Ger
man financial agents took care to secure
first claim on this balance it may be re-
garded as being as good as sold and in
fact, the Secretary expects to part with it
all inside Of three months. This FIVE per
cent. loan was created about two years ago,
to replace an equal amount Of six per cent.
bonds, thus saving interest at the rate of
one per cent. yearly. Since the panic of
last fall no progress has been made in the
exchange. Purchasers can pay for it in
five-twenty bonds at par, or in gold, as they
think proper and the Secretary cannot
sell it for less than par. The Department
always has the power Of calling III the six
per cents, under the optional feature of the
''tive-twenties. The fact that the new
bonds are taken so readily on foreign ac-
count indicates that the German capitalists
are not afraid of the reputation theories
OF the Indiana and Ohio Democrats. That
such doctrines can ever succeed in this
country seems to require stretch of the
imagination, but after what we have seen
since 1860 we need not to be astonished at
anything.

The Dead Twins,

There has been no post-mortem exami.

Chang was seized with paralysis about
six O'Clock and died almost Immediately.
Eng gave an alarm, and when the family
entered he remarked, II suppose must
die too" His death, which seems to have
been the result Of pure fright, took place
two hours afterward. Mount Airy, the
residence of the twins, is such an outof.
the-way place that no medical assistance
could be procured till some hours after
their deaths. The surgeons wished par
ticuiarly to cut the membrane which
bound the twins together, so as to ascer-
tain the nature of the connection, and the
probabilities as to whether Eng's life
could have been saved by detschment
from his brothers corpse. This, however,
they were not allowed to do; and 80 this
singular mystery will never be explained.
The twins leave very respectable prop.
erty behind them. Chang has six children,
and Eng five. Several Of their offspring
are deaf and dumb, and those who are not
afflicted are of low order of intelligence.

Comparative Longevity Of Jews and

FROM an examination of the census
statistics Of Austria, Russia, Turkey, Ger
many, England, France, and the United
States, q writer in the Medical Record has
ascertained that the mean average dura-
ton of life among Jews exceeds thato
Christians by abont i've years. The state
ment is made, also, by Pressia, that there
is 1-61 per cent of deaths among Jews to
2-62 per cent. among the general popula-
ton; and in France, Christians live, on
an average, SO years and II months, but
the Jews 48 years and 8 months. Accord

half the Christians die before reaching 80
years Of age, while, among the Jews, one
half live to be so years old. OF the former,

fact that the Jews marry at more favora-

Treating the wrong Disease.

Many times Women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with
palpitation, another " ith trouble of the breast,
another with pain here and there, and in this
way they all present alike to themselves and
their easy.goiDg and Indifferent doctors, sepa-
rate and distinct diseases, for which he pre-
scribes bis pills and potions, assuming them to
be such, when, in reality, they are all symp-
toms caused by some uterine disorder; and
while they are thus only able perhaps to pallf-
ate for time, they are ignorant of the cause,
and encourage their practice until large bills
are made, when the suffering patients are no
better in the end, but probably worse for the
delay, treatment, and other complications
made, and which proper medicine directed to
the cause would have entirely removed, there
by instituting health and comfort instead of
prolonged misery.

Senator Oglesby, Of Illinois, made his
maiden speech in the United States Senate on
the 2Oth. In presenting the memorial of the

He declared that competition between rail.

which the people complained, and that the
