THE TILrON LOVE LETTERS.

"Gath" tells, In the st. Louis Times OF
Friday last, the story OF the obtainmcn
by him Of the love letters of Mrs. Tilton
those gushing epistles of soft Elizabeth
TO her adored Theodore. The story Is
very interesting one told in the Gath
ian manner very little diluted into a
great amount.
Briefly, the story is; Gath was di.
rected by Horace White, of the Chicago
Tribune, to visit Tilton and "gct into the
marrow OF the topic"--Of the scandal !;
he went, talked to Tilton and Moulton
over several bottles OF claret, and got the
letters, for which Tilton would not re-
ceive cent. The letters were, in I'll.
tons opinion. worth 81 900
he wac poor, but he would
not-this he said 10 Gath
take cent for matter Of that kind apy
more than be would take damages from
Mr.. Beecher, although he had been com
PEELED to bring his suit In that form.
Moulton was consulted; wa. well-bred.
and called Tilton, Theodore; had too
wise look, like man overcstimating ,
dangerous, and yet not a valuable trust.
At that time, Moulton's position was no,
well defined. lie was apprehcnsive, and
was thinking of running away into 81.
lsnce but he didn't.
Thus Gath" runs on through, ncarl,
four columns of the Times. Slush 1t is
but 1t will be read by the public, aud tina
u all that ''Cath'' desires.

Among the Important Inventions aud
discoveries Of the period, the manufac-
tuir of "infrangiblc glass; may certainly
b. noted as one not least In Importance.
To Frcnchman. NJ. A. de la Bastie. the
world is indebted for the discovery Of n
that hitherto fragile substance /, made
matter of no small difficulty" Al the
Cooper Institute, New York. a short
time ago, the invention was put TO severe
tests and 1t was demonstrated that glass
may be made, for all practical
purposes, unbrakable. The change
from the natural brittleuess Of glass TO
the toughncss which will resist an ordi-
nary usage is brought about by plugging
the glass. "whcn at great heat, into a
bath composed mainly OF fatty sub
Stances" This process does not change
the appearance of. the glass, but does
change its construction so materially that
when broken by sufficient force. the frag-
ments are of very small dimensions aud
each one has perfectly smooth edges and
may be handled without danger Of cuts
or bruises.
The New York World describes the
experiment testing the touglines, of gla =
which had been subjected to the bath,
Various articles OF table ware
sauccrs. aud other dishes o
apparently fragile make were
thrown upon hard iioor from
which ihey:boundcd unbrokcn. Watcl
crystals and long, thin pieces of glass
were also thrown down.and all remained
perfectly whole. "Thc next experiment
consisted of testing the strength of or

angry. On this occasion he

applause and great sensation IN the

made by Beecher upon Mrs. Tilton. Mr..
Porter interrupted and said: 81 cannot

TINE POTATO BUG.

y writer IN the New ork Herald gives
an interesting history OF the potato bug.
one Of the greatest enemies to agriculture
which the tillers OF the soil In America
have ever had to contend with.
Fifty years ago, rhomns Say, one of an
avpIorisg ~vp"slition to tho Roxy
mountains, discovered, described and
named the Colorado beetle. At that
time, and for some thirty-five or forty
years later, 1t lived on the prickly sola-
mum, common to that region. As the
tide of emigration began TO flow west
ward, and with it the cultivation of the
potato, the beetle forsook the wild sola-
nun for the more platablc
potato Of the early settlers, and at
once commenced its march to the
East, slowly at first, as the potato fields
were few and Ear between. but steadily,
until at last 1t began to attract attention
as new and dangerous enemy TO agri-
culture, appearing in Nebraska about the
year 1859, two years later spreading over
Iowa and about the year 1865 reaching the
Mississippi. Ten years later 1t struck
the Atlantic coast, after sweeping over
the States Of Wisconsin, Michigan, ILL
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Vir.
ginla, Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, District OF
Columbia and the northern portion of
| Virginia, though its greatest ravagcs
have been almost wholly confined to the
States north of Mason and Dixon's line
1t has also overrun portions of Canada
"The Colorado potato beetle" as IL /,
now almost universally called (Dory-
phora decem-iineata, or the "ten-lined
spearman") belongs To the family of Leaf
eating beetles (ChrysometidG), and is one
of the largest of the group. The perfect
insect measures about half an inch in
length, is OF thick oval shape and of Il
yellowish cream color, with ten dark
brown or blackish lines running length
wise down the wing covers. The head
and thorax, or middle portion OF the
pouy o'N W az VI ohSN-pioNh NOioi' Npot-
ted or marked with black. II has, IN all
dition to the wing covers, pair Of pink
wings, which lie folded beneath and hid
den except when the insect Is in flight.
a writer in the Canadi9n EHtoDloiogist
estimated that if the progeny of II single
pair OF these insects were allowed 10 in
crease without molestation for an entire
season, the result would amount to ovcl
sixty millions of individuals, which will
give some idea OF their powers of repro
duction. The losscs occasioncd by the
depredations OF these insects have beei
estimated at eight millions of dollars pei
annum since their frs appearance.

There is much said about the
position and purpose OF the
Democratic party in Louisiana
respecting its future action.
To us the course of the party
is something SO simple and
entirely obvious that we have
not thought that the matter
called for remark but owing
to recent expressions and de-
velopments we think il may
not be amiss to declare the
intentions of those who have
long been the opponents of the
Radical party in Louisiana, aud
the Radical party in the Union
at large.
I. The opponents of Radical
ism in this State are the oppo-
nentsofRadicalism everywhere,
and in the stupendous contest
of 1876 they will support the
candidates of the Democratic
party, nominated in proper
convention, whether those cans
didates are taken from the
East or West, exacting from
them no conditions save adhe-
) sion to Democratic principles
and opposition to Radical cor>
. ruption.
2. The foes of Radicalism in
Louisiana, comprising nine
!, teen-twentieths of all the white
men in the State, will neither
desire nor attempt in any way
: to influence the Democratic
Nominating Convention Of
candidates, but being present
by representation in that body
y will give every possible assur'
: ance that the electoral votes q
t Louisiana will be given for the
nominees of the Convention.
3. All the Democrats of this
: State, and all the good an(
i, Jealous citizens, who under
other names and designations
have heretofore made vigorous
D war upon Radical corruption
? and all those who look to ;
Q restoration of a anti-Radica
t government at Washington a!

q form in Louisiana, will worl
! and vote together for the sue
q cess of the Democratic nationa
a candidates, and for the re-
\ demptlon of the republic from
the hands of tyrants and NAL
efactOrs.
4. There will be but on,
party in Louisiana in 1871
opposed to Radicalism, an,
that party will be in thorough
accord and complete unity witt
