Destruction of vineyards in France.

DCSCA uOUAVA "a EAnCJ dAAuc IA AA"AOOs
The French Chambers, says Paris
letter, are entering into the lists with
that redoubtable enemy of France, the
20hyll0GerG, whose ravages constitute a
national calamity. The minute and de-
structive insect in question made its APP
pearance here in the year 1866, coming
no one knows whence, and since that
date it has managed to destroy third OF
the French vineyards-to ravage super
fieies of 100000 hectaress(2a acres EACH,
and consume 12,261, 900 hectolitres of
wine of % gallons each. The damage
done this year is set down at $27, 800,
900, and this annual damage will go on
increasing unless parliament can succeed
better than science and M. Dumas in ar
resting the progress of this minute
scourge. Never has the vine had such
an enemy since the time of which Ber-
anger sang:
g When Brennus came back here from Rome,
These words he is said to have spoken:
sWe have conquered, my boys, and brought home
A sprig OF the vine for token!'"
The only wonder is that wine remains
as cheap as it is, and that. In spite OF
heavy city dues, really good ordinary
wine can be obtained in Paris for franc
a bottle. A reward Of 100000 is still
open for any one who shall discover an
efectual means of destroying the 22Iyl-
loDerG, with whose manners and Gus.
toms science is now intimately ac-
Quainted.

The ServIans as Soldiers.

Decidedly, these Servians are the big
gest race, and one of the handsomest, II
Europe. There are nine officers sitting
about me, the shortest of whom must
be five feet eleven. They would proba-
bly, average over six feet one-of weight
fully proportionate. There is nothing
in their faces of that type which we are
accustomed to consider as pertaining to
the Slavs. Large dark eyes, well opened,
aquiline but bony features, and kindly,
weIl-shaped mouth, are characteristics
of them. Very many have gray eyes
and fair hair, as have nine children IN
ten of this district. And these enor
nous fellows are not picked. They all
belong to the militia, and several of
them own shops at Belgrade and else
where. You would not suspect it on see
ing them; but every Servian is soldier
de race. That mountain of human flesh
yonder, who throws back his great faxen
head to laugh at ease, told me last night
how he owned the chief apothecarys
shop in Belgrade, and how he had to
close it for the war, himself and all his
assistants being called to fight. He
wears his neat brown tl1nic, blue trou
sers, and high spurred boots, his trail
ing sword, and his revolver, as if he had
never seen pistol in his life. A cavalry
Captain for the nonce is our apothecary,
and the recruiting sergeant would be
proud who engaged him for her Males
ty's Life Guards. So with most others
here. do not know that one officer of
the regular army has come under my
ewes as vet. saving the CAPTAIN, who
night; why and wherefore perplexes me
greatly. He makes fine type of the
old soldier-brown as a berry, with mus
tache snowy white, and gray, steady
eyes.-Letter from P0ratcltd1a, IN Lon

en- an occasional glass of liquor, al
though not addicted TO drink. His gen.
eral habit has been to rise and retire at
an early hour, and during the most of
his life has seldom slept after in the
morning. He comes of a long-lived an
cestry, as do most persons who attain
great age, his mother having lived to
be upwards of l03 years old.
In the fall of 1870, in his one hundred
and fourth year, Mr.. Edwards revisited
the scenes of his childhood in York, Pa,
and while there received quite an ova-
ton from its citizens. Among other
tokens of respect, he was presented
with a gold-headed cane by the men,
bers of the Laurel Fire Company, OF
which company he was the Oldest sur
viving member. The company had him
charged on their books with fine of
eleven pence "for non-attendance on
the evening of 30th March, 1885," and
while there the Secretary, as good
joke, rendered him bill, which, prin-
cipal and interest, amounted to S4.Sl.
At the coming Centennial Celebra-
ton at Philadelphia there will not be
many greater curiosities TO be seen than
old Mr. Edwards. There will be present
a few venerable men of the past like
Mr.. Edwards, who were children in
1776, who may perchance remember the
Fourth of July of that eventful year,
and they will be, as indeed they ought
to be, among the most interesting fea-
lures of the exhibition.

CONSERVATIVES TAKs NoTIcE.-Eyery moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice Of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of DR.. Schencks Pull
monte Syrup, as cure for consumption, far ex
ceeds all that be brought to support the preten
sions of any other medicine. See DR.. Schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates of many per
sons Of the highest responsibility, who have been
restored to health after being incurablt
by physicians Of acknowledged ability schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many as these
evidences will show; but the cure is often promoted
by the employment Of two other remedies which
DR.. Schenck provides for the purpose. These ad
ditional remedies are schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use Of these
medicines. according to directions, Dr. schencB
certifes that most any case Of Consumption may
be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principa
Office, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia
every Monday where all letters for advice must BE-
addressed.

How often do we hear this question asked
bv persons suffering from dizziness and pain
in the head, with dull stupid feeling, pain
in the side, back or shoulder, a heavy load
on the stomach after eating, faint, all-gone
sensation at the pit Of the stomach that food
does not satisfy, cold, clammy feeling in
the hands and feet, with hot flashes at
times, bad taste in the mouth with foul
breath, attended with great depression of
the nervous system and evil forebOdings,
and with tired weakness that sleep don I
relieve, urino scanty at times, with sedl-
ment after standing. One physician calls
the disease liver complaint, another kidney
disease, another dyspepsia, and still another
impurity Of the blood. But none sue
coed in effecting a cure. The fact
is. that these symptoms indicate
that all of these diseases are present togeth-
err, and to remove these symptoms we must
take a remedy that will act upon all Of these
organs at once. The best article that we
know of is made by the Shakers, and is called

leaving the carriage, and when Just
about to enter the Presidential Mansion,
he stopped me and said: Father De
Smet, am about to introduce you to
President Lincoln, and to ask from him
a favor for you. Please promise me
that you will express no surprise at
what either he or l may say, but that
you will content yourself with thanking
him if he grants my request | readi-
ly acceded. We found the President in
his room leaning upon his hand with a
weary expression of countenance as
though he were entertaining sad
thoughts. His face, however, lighted
up at our coming, and after being form
ally introduced we took chairs and he
opened the conversation with this re-
mark to Gen. Blair:
"sFrank, is Father DeSmet trying to
make a Catholic out of you, or are you
trying to make Presbyterian out of
him, which?'
" sNeither, Mr.. President, but I have
come here to ask a favor for him from
you
"'What is it?'
"'Mr. Stanton tells me, said the Cen
eral, that the 4th Cavalry, l think it is
the 4th Cavalry, is stationed out on the
Northwestern frontier, and that they
have no Chaplain. want you to make
Father De Smet the Chaplain of the
regiment and give him twelve months
furlough, at which time he expects to
return from his mission, when he can
resign, unless he wants to go into the
war;
"The President Immediately took up
his pen, wrote few lines, and handed
the paper to Gen. Blair, saying, take
that to Stanton
"Before l had time to say a word,
Mr.. Lincoln took me by the hand, and
in bidding me adieu, remarked: you
will do more good out there than all my
soldiers and commissioners There
was pay attached to the position (for |
believe ranked as Major), but l never
drew it. OF course / thanked General
Blair for the handsome manner in which
he had spoken for me, but l never until
now had an opportunity of doing him
a service in return. And now you
bnow why | want to see him in the Sen
ate.n
Both Father DeSmet and Frank Blair
rest to-day under six feet of Missouri
soil, but let us hope that the noble quail
ties of heart that marked the statesman,
no less than the sublime self-abnegation
that distinguished the priest, have en-
titled both to a habitation among the
blessed ones who circle around the
throne of the Eternal. J.D.F.

English Grease Butter.

The butter and cheese dealers of this
city, who opposed OleOmargarin in the
markets on the alleged ground of its be-
ing used as an adulterant for genuine
butter, instead of its being sold on its
own merits, will seem to most people
manifestations beside their English and
Scotch brethren, who have permitted
the existence of such an establishment
as the Glasgow NeWS recently has I'M
earthed. That journal discovered a
trade circular issued by a firm establish
ed in Leith and Glasgow, offering to re-
claim old butter, however foul, and to
return the same increased in weight, at
a cost of S1.87 per cwt., in casks. Re-
porters, persOna.ing customers, Prepar-
ed for treatment a sample of the follow
ing delectable mixture: A Coleraine
butt of grease butter, sold for lubricat-
ing purposes, was purchased, and there
was Incorporated with it a small guam
tity of Russian tallOw, some of which
had passed through the printing Office
machinery, and had absorbed particles
of blacklead and mineral oxides from
contact with the bearings of the shaft
ing. A common tallOw candle, from
which the wick had been removed, was
also added. The compound and the
tallow candle were carefully melted into
the grease butter; and Notwithstanding
the offensive character of these additions,
the butter was so decompOsed as COM
pletely to disguise them. Thus prepared,
the firkin was sent to the works, with a
request that it be turned into "lumps of
a bright yellow color, for sale in the
English market, and with a stubble-
grass smell" The firm characterized
the sample as very bad, but promised
to do their best with it. In the course
of few days the butter was returned
re-converted, its weight on return being
51t lbs, against 47i lbs. when sent for
treatment. Were it not for some miner
al particles discovered on strict exam
nation, it would hardly have been pos
sible to have identified the sample, so
remarkable was the change in the whole
composition. The statements are veri-
fed by the city analyst, who described
the original butter as 'in the last stage
of rottenness, having disgusting Odor,
covered with green mold and maggot-
ty."
1t was found that the establishment
was doing a large business and prOduc-
ing 1920 lbs. daily, which was sold all
over the entire kingdom. What the
treatment consisted in is not explained.
Oleomargarin at least was clean, and its
ingredients, so far as our examination
extended, were Scientific Anler-
icnn.

THE United States naval training ship
Minnesota, which is now lying in the
Brooklyn Navy-yard, has on board
about 517 boys, who have enlisted in
the service and are learning the duties
of sailors. This training school was
started early last July with about eighty
boys. They enlist between sixteen and
seventeen years of age, and the class
admitted is unusually select, fully two
thirds of the applicants being rejected.
The capacity of the Minnesota admits
of training 500 boys on board at the
same time, and it is probable that the
number will soon be filled. The schol-
ars are placed under practical system
of education, are thoroughly imbued
with a spirit of enterprise, are taught
the rigorous discipline of the navy,
while at the same time their life on
board is made as attractive as possible.
Every year hundred or hundred and
fifty of them are taken out in a tender
for short cruise, and are obliged to
perform the duties which they have
learned. At the age of eighteen the
boys are placed on board some ship in
actual commission, and their promotion
thereafter is determined by their ability
and conduct,

A Man Who Listened to Speech from
Washington.

Michael Edwards, ST., of Mounds
vile, Pa, is now in his one hundred
and ninth year. When at Moundsville,
few days ago, says the New York
Mercury, correspondent had short
interview with the old gentleman. 1t
was something to look upon a man
whose birth dates back to the 18th of
August, 1867, and hear him tell of see
ing General Washington in the streets
of his native town ere yet the Father OF
his Country had reached the zenith OF
his great fame. Mr. Edwards thinks he
remembers when the news of the Decla-
ration of Independence was brought to
York, Pa, where he then lived. He
remembers hearing Washington make
n short speech in York, after the war,
in which, among other things, he said
that there was likely to be, some time
in the future, war, caused by Office
seekers, that would be worse than the
Revolution. He cast his first vote for
Washington for President, and voted for
him both times, and after him for John
Adams. He left York in 1901 and went
out to Washington, Pennsylvania, where
he was married in 1905 to Miss Eleanor
Cady, a lady nineteen years his junior.
They lived together fifty-three years,
she dying in 1858. The family con-
sisted of four boys, all still living, the
oldest of whom is now in his seventeen
year. Mr.. Edwards lived at Washing
ton until 1885, at which time he remov-
ed TO Moundsville, where he has since
resided. He worked at his trade (gun-
smithing) until he was between
eighty and ninety years of age.
When he was in his ninety-third
year he walked from Wheeling to
Moundsville in about two hours and a
half, feat that many young men could
not rival lie has seldom been severely
sick in his life, although he has never
taken extra care of his health; has both
chewed and smoked tobacco, and tax
