past year or two their ravages have in
measure been suspended, and we
hear but little complaint in this State

We rather conclude that the DAYS of
the bugs are about over, but it will
not do to be too sure. 1t is consola.
ton however, that remedies have been
found which makes their visitation
harmless.

CONGRESSIONAL.

On the 25th Senator Morton intro.
duced bill to establish competent and nom
partizan revenue corps. Efforts were made to
take up the southern claims bill, the river
and harbor bill and the bill in regard to Pa
citic railroads, but failed. In the House took
up the legal tender silver bill introduced by
Mr.. Banks but came to no vote. The House
adjourned after listening to a personal ex-
PLANTATION from Lamar.
On the Goth the Senate listened TO
the closing arguments OF the prosecution in
the Belknap Impeachment, and decided to
vote on the issue on the 27th The House
transacted no business
The Senate on the 9th received the
announcement Of the death of Senator Caper-
ton, OF West Virginia, ard adjourned TOR the
day. The House amended the Washington
monument bill so as to appropriate 5000, 600
instead of 100000, and passed the bill, after
which adjourned.
On the 3lst ult. the Senate passed
the resolution forbidding the issue or sale of
metallic cartridges to the Indians. Gen. H.

prlatiOn bill. The President returned the

Rape Plant.

We remember at Washington Lake,
Ill Slbley Co., Mimi, few years since,
Of seeing a large field of the rape plant
III full bloom, upon asking what use
was made of it we were answered that
it was sowed for paSturage for bees :;
that the honey produced from it was
fully equal to that obtained from the
linden trees, but in addition to this
we find it is a profitable crop to grass
apart from its relation to agriculture.
Says IN exchange: 1t lets no weeds
grow after it is fairly started, growing
very dense, and its leaves completely
shade the ground, therefore it does
not suffer from drought like other
grains. The seed has a good cash mar
ket at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, where
oil Is extracted from it, and brings
from $3.50 to 50 per bushel. From ten
to eighteen bushels are generally pro-
duced per acre, but it is oftener over
than under this estimate. Two quarts
are sufficient to SOW an acre. Thous-
andS of bushels are annually raised in
Calumet county, Wisconsin, and it is
just as staple crop as wheat. Those
doubling my statement | refer 10 re-
p TT of agriculture for 1870.
That excellent and enterprising citi-
zen of Minneapolis, G.. Scheitlin, Esq,
Of the Minnesota LinSeed Oil Company.
introduced a good deal of the seed in
to the State, which he purchased for
manufacturing into oil, but some way
or other it has never cen cultivated
to any extent, but we expect it is a
very profitable crop, and could be
raised with good deal of profit.

HONESTY'S SMALL REWARD.

The London Telegraph Of July {
says: Leysand, little village in the
department of the Ain, has for some
time past been agitated by small TO-
nance of its own. It's parish priest,
or cure, died suddenly, and a young
man was appointed in his place. The
ncW incumbent, soon after entering
upon his cure began to rummage about
the parSOnage-if we may SO call it
and more particularly explored the
cellars. French priests ale, as rule,
no mean judges of the good things of
this life, and they are especially noted
connolsseurS of choice vintages. 1t
may be that the new conner expected
to find hidden III a corner some more
than usually precious fagons of old
Barsac, OF few bottles of priceless
Chateau 1quem. or small but of full
bodied LaroSe. As it happened, how
ever. among a heap of empty bottles
he alighted on couple of small oak
chests, or, to speak more exactly, box
es heavily clamped. Forcing these
open, he found them stuffed with gold
pieces amounting to total of $4,000
francs, or, as nearly us may be, f720.
Nothing would have been easier for
him, Of course, than to have held his
peace about the matter.
Instead of this, however, being a
young man, and consequently well bal
lasted with cOnScience-a commodity
which is apt to wear away as life adj
vances-he betoOk himself to the vii
lage MARIE. The deceased cure was
VIGOROUSLY person Of economical,
not to say misery, habits, and there
was good ground for the belief that it
had been his practice for many wears
to accumulate and Secrete his savings.
Such habit is common enough in out
of-the-way corners of England. Anv
country lawyer in ordinary practice
can tell us of clients-usually old men
or women-who have considerable
sums, partly in bank notes and partly
in money of every conceivable denomi-
nation, slowed away III a teapot. OF
the heel of an old stocking, or beneath
q brick i'll the floor, OF under the thatch
or in some other equally improbable
hiding place. In France this kind of
thing is not SO common as universal,
With the Partisan, it is true. his mon
ely comes lightly, and goes as lightly
as it came. But in the provinces econ
Omy trenches upon perjury, and thrift
approaches the border-land of miser-
dom. Upon the whole facts of the
case there could be little doubt. if any.
that the money found in the cellar was
the property of the outgoing cure, and
it was accordingly handed over by the
marie to the personal representative
of the deceased ecclesiastical miser.
That gentleman with iberalitv
worthy of the occasion, took the IS. 900
franks, and, by way of showing his
gratitude, made the young priest, to
whose honesty he owed this unexpect-
ed windfall, the handsome present of
f12 English money, or. in French coin
a e, 300 francs.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
Conducted by Veteran Northwestern Agricuturi,t
Sion the Practice.

As the harvest is upon us,we wish to
impress upon our readers the necessity
of abandoning the miserable practice
which is observed in many portions Of
the State, of burning the straw after
the grain is separated from it. Ifper-
sons have not stock to consume it dur
ing the winter season, let it be made
into stacks and let it decompose. 1t
will then be worth something by and
by tor manure. but when burned up,
the farmer reaps no benefit from it
ut all. We cannot think but what it
IS almost wicked to burn up the starw-
piles every fall of the year.

THE DANITES IN UTAH.

A telegram from Salt Lake. July 81,
to the New York Sun, says: Early
yesterday morning John &. Young.
one of the reporters of the Daily Tri-
bune, while going from the Office to
his residence, was way-laid by four Of
Brigham Young'S DANTE band of DE
stroying Angels. who attempted to
murder him. Mr.. Young is a nephew
Of Brigham Young, and has become
extremely obnoxious to his uncle and
and the Mormon priesthood by reason
Of his connection with the Tribune, .
Gentle paper, which opposes Mormons.
and shows up their habits and crimes.
Orders were issued by Young to de-
StrOy his nephew, and these four men
Wee set apart for the bloody work.
One of them was stationed at street
corner diagOnally across from the Of
flee to give notice of Goung'S depart
IRE for home. and the rest secreted
themselves behind trees in front of
his residence. When the signal was
given they all made their appearance
simultaneously. One of them approach
ed him, saying You re the man we
ave looking for. and was about To
seize him, when Youfg, facing him
with a cooked revolver. backed into
the yard, and told him that if he adj
yanccd another step he would kill him.
The movement was SO sudden that the
leader was thrown Of his guard. The
neighbOrS, hearing the noise. came IN
the door with lights, and Young es-
capped assassination.
