WHERE The COTTON WORM oa1a1NArIs

AT the IL ,rttOrd meeting of the
American Association for the all
vanctInent of science, held in
August last, Mr.. Aug. r. Grote
read a very interesting paper on the
subject of the cotton caterpillar, a
few extracts fronawhich We will lay
before our readers
The earliest period at which tho
young WORMS were noticed i'll MAJ
rengo and Greene Counties, in Ala
bama, by the writer, was the last
week in June, their first appearance
varying i'll the same locality to the
middle Of July. The appearance of
the worm is always heral,led by the
advent of the moth, the latter be-
ing attracted to lights in houses, at
least II week before tie worm ap-
pears in the fields. The next tea
ture observed was that the worm is
always heard of first to be south
ward OF any given locality, and
comes on arriving cOnsecutively
as long ~ the season lasts
This southern army is killed by
adv tncing winter and by the de-
G. ease of the food plant.
The moth was first described by
uubner, under the name of AfettG
argillaced, from Bahia Brazil where
is was very destructive to perrn-
NAL cotton. tits discovery des,ruc>
tive in Mexico, and the West Indies
and Mr.. Grote believes that the
insect dies out with its food every
year in the Southern States, and
that its appearance the following
season is due to fresh immigratiOnS
OF the moth from these more south
ern localities.
1t is capable of extended flights.
us it has been taken alive in the
eastern states. in Buffalo, n. Y.
and in Chicago, lii probably fol
lowing the coast line, or the water
courses emptying into the Gulf of
Mexico. There il u. proportion
be ween the few that can survive
in warm winters, and the swarms
of the first appearances. The de
p ,rtnrnt residence of the cotton
worm is outside of our cotton belt,
aid the conclusion is that the Ale
tia is not indigo lous with u, but AN
annual not II drnizen, but IA visiiant

must be directed against the first

Mr.. Glover put forth the same
views in regard to the first brood,
with the proposed remedy, as long
ago AS 1867, and we are glad to see
that these views are borne out bN

years of careful scientific observa-
ton, must be accepted as aut horI-

DEATH OF GIN. JOHN BREcK SHR1DaE.

Gen. John G. Breckenridge died
at his residence iu Lexington, ky.'
on the 18th inst, the particulars of
whic', event will be found in anOth-
er column.
Gen. Breckenridge was born in
Lexington, KY, January 81, 1921.
At the age of twenty he graduated
in law at Transylvania institute.
When the Mexican war broke out,
he at once volunteered, and rose to
the rank of Major. After that war
he was elected to the State Legisla-
ture, which was the beginning of his
brilliant political career. He was
elected to the United States Con-
gress in 1851, and reelected in 1858.
During President Pierce's adninis>
tratiOn he was offered the ministry
to the Court of SPAN, but declined
it. In 1856 he was elected Vice
President of the United States with
James Buchanan as President. In
1850, after the breaking up of the
Charleston convention without NOM
mating candidate, he ran for Pres
ident ON the Southern Democratic
ticket, aud carried the electoral
votes of nearly the entire South. In
the same year he was elected to the
United States Senate, aud remained
there until the Southern States Sc
ceded, when he cast his fortunes
with the Confederacy, and took a
in the field. President
Davis appointed him Secretary of
War, which Office he filed until the
of Lee and his army, when
he went to Europe, and. remained
there until 1868. Since that time
he. resided in Lexington in quiet re-
tirement. A good and great man
is gone. All honor to his memory
and peace to his ashes.
