brought large numbers Of workmen into
his fields and succeeded in destroying
the insects before they could escape, By
having numerous bitches or canals dug,
into which they could be swept and then
covered with lime; but this method of
destruction is only applicable where the
insects have not attained their full
growth, and consequently are not yet
able to rise in swarms. The havoc
wrought by these creatures is so exces-
sive that the German papers strongly
urge the necessity OF state Intervention
to arrest the threatened danger Of their
attacks, and it has been suggested that
the district or communal authorities
should organize system Of protective
measures against their further advance,
which is generally so rapid and sudden
that it defes all ordinary methods Of
resistance.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
The PhtIosoDby Of Disease


The philosophy Of disease is a subject which
iswell worthy the attention of mankind, but
is. unfortunately, more generally neglected
than any other under heaven. Decidedly the
most important fact that an examination of it
discloses is that, in nine cases out Of ten, the
originating causes Of disease is debility, either
general or local, and that the earliest mani
festations Of its approach are identical with
those which evidence lack of vital power.
Such being the case, it Is perfectly clear that
tonic treatment is what is required in the first
Instance. As an invigOrant. Hostetter's S St0m-
ach Bitters has received the most positive in
dorsement from eminent physicians, and has
long occupied a foremost rank among stan-
dard proprietary remedies. Its properties as

stomach, liver and bowels, and a preventive
Of malarial diseases. are no less renowned,
and have been accorded professional recon-
mendation equally emphatic.

From the New York Tribune

THE BEGINNING OF BE7TER TINES
The prosperity Of trade depends on the
condition of the classes who are engaged
in production In the United States the
agricultural class of producers far sur
passes in Importance any of the others. II
we can show that the condition Of the
farmers and planters is an improving one
il will follow that a corresponding i'm
proyement will before long be manifest in
the general trade of the country. When
we speak of men in masses of millions, as
we must in discussing the affairs Of such a
nation as the United States, we necessari-
" have to disregard multitude of cxcep-
tons TO the general rule. Taking the
farmers and planters as class we do say
that there is ample statistical proof Of the
fact that they are better of than they have
been at any time for three years past. We
point in the first place to The quantities OF
wheat, corn, cotton, beef, pork. cheese,
hams, and bacon exported; in Tie second

eles, not at the port Of New York, but at
the places where they We're produced,
for the farmer has had the advantage for
over Il year Of internal ireights low be-
yond precedent; in the third place to The
lower rate Of wages at which farmers and
planters have this year procured their la
Dor; and in the fourth place 10 the fact
which naturally follows from the three al
ready mentioned, that the imports Of tea,
coffee, and sugar, have been larger in the
fiscal year ended with June last than in
any previous year in the history of the
country. In her dealings with the United
States Great Britain has proved good
customer. While our imports from the
British Isles have been enormously cur
tailed, our exports TO those regions have
greatly Increased since the close OF the
wear 1879. In either one OF the three cal
eendar years 1873, 1874. and 1875, we have
Iound ! market for more grain in Great
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1875-12-06
Britain than we ever did before. Much

Britain than we ever did before. Much
of that Grain has gone to reduce indebted
ness. bnt nevertheless the farmers who
produced it have been paid for il, and
well paid for it, too.
Another favorable circumstance in the
condition OF trade throughout the United
States is the absence of speculation. Proba-
bly there is no important article whose price
is now upheld beyond fair level by the
competition of spectators. The demand
that at present exists for merchandise and
manufactures can be depended on TO con-
tinuo and to grow, because it comes al
most direct from the consumer. The pop
ulation of the Union is now in round num-
bcrs forty-fve millions, and it is increas-
ing at the rate of about two and hall per
cent per annum, and much faster than that
in the great agricultural States OF the
West. Under such circumstances OF pros
perity and increase in the agricultural popu-
iation, how long can the market for cotton
goods remain gutted at the present low
prices 1t must, within no very distant
period, feel the increased consumption.
At the same time we are bound to say that
there are no grounds for expecting re-
yiyal of speculation. Since the telegraph
has united the business world, specula-
ton does not play the part it formerly did
in trade end commerce IIonce, the slow
and almost imperceptible steps by which
business revives where it is not too heavi-
" weighted by debts and taxes.
We cannot think it out of place to urge
economy on those who are in debt, from
the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty
of the city of New York down to that man
who merely owes his grocer and tailor.
Prompt payment is quite as conducive to
the welfare of business as large pnr-
chases. We believe at this very time. that
nothing would tend more strongly to
bring about good times than reduction
of taxes, and the only honest way to re-
duce taxes is to cut down expenditures.

Foreign Commissioners, extending, through them,

an invitation equally cordial is given to the women

know as soon as possible how much and what kind
of space is required, we wonld therefore ask that
applications may be made at an early day, printed
