SINGULAR Property OF TOMATO
LEAVES. planted peach orch
ard, writes M.Sircy, of the society
of Horticulture, Valparaiso, and
the trees grew we'll and strongly.
They had but just commenced to
bud when they we're invaded by
the curculio (pulgon), which in
sects were followed, as frequently
happens, by ants. Having cut
some tomatoes, the idea occurred
to me that by placing some of the
leaves around the trunks and
branches of the peach trees 1
might preserve them from the rays
of the sun, which were very pow
erful. My surprise was great up
on the following day to fud the
trees entirely free from their ene-
mics, not one remaining except
here and there where curled leaf
prevented the tomato from exercis-
ing it's influence These leaves /
carefully unrolled, placing upon
:hem fresh ones from the tomato
vine, with the result of banishing
the last insect and enabling the
trees to grow with luYuriance.-
Wishing to carry still further my
experiment, | stepped in water some
fresh leaves of the tomato and
sprinkled with this Infusion other
plants, roses and oranges. In two
days these were also free from the
inuumerahle insects which covered
them, and I felt sure that had l
used the same means with my
melon patch 1 I-skou & have met
with the same result. / therefore
deem it duty | owe to the society
of Horticulture TO make known
this singular apd useful property
of the tomato leaves, which dis
covered by the merest accident

party, in the contest. The fact that
two great political parties have in
this way settled a dispute, in regard
to which good men differ as 10 the
fact and, the law no less than as to the
proper course to be pursued in solving
the question in, Controversy, is an oc-
casion for general rejoicing. Upon
one point there is entire unanimity in
public sentiment that conflicting
claims to the presidency must lie ami
| cably' and peaceably adjusted, and
that, when SO adjusted, the general
acquiescence of the nation ought
surely to follow. 1t has been reserv-
es! for government of the people,
where the right of suffrage is uniyer-
sal, to give to the world the first ex-
ample in history of a great nation,
in the midst of struggle of opposing
parties for power, hushing its party
tumults to yield tile issue of the con-
test to adjustment according to the
forms OF law.
Looking for the guidance of that
Divinity, by which the destinles OF
nations and individuals are shaped,
[ call upon you Senators, Representa-
tives, Judges. Fellow-c citizens, here
and everywhere, to unite with me in
an earnest effort to secure to our coun-
try the blessings not only oc material
prosperity, but Of justice, peace and
union, q union depending not upon
the constraint of force. but upon the
loving devotion of free people, ''anc
that all things may be so ordered anG
settled upon the best and surest foun
dations that peace and happiness
truth and justice, religion and piety
may be established among US for al
generations" Quoted from the
Episcopal PRAYER hook.

They had better farm right, and it

Mr.. Reed does. | would say to

THE LAST ACT.

WASHINGTON, March 2,-The few

resistance to the counting in of Hayes,
encouraged by the bold action of
Springer in defying the President of
the Senate at the joint session of

ton last night until they had exhaust
ed every parliamentary expedient
allowed by Speaker Randall. The
stormy scene of themorning had at
tracted a multitude of 81 ectators but
the closing hours were compare

days the Republicans, fearing
something might occur to consoli'
date the Democratic vote and de-

of Hayes, kept quiet and allowed

to whether it would not be better TO treat with
Russia before they cross the Danuce.
The correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette
at Constantinople writes May 18th: sThe dis
count on Turkish paper money continues to
advance and with it the price of provisions,

The Debate in the House of Cemmaus.
LONDON, May 13-The debate in the House
of Commons on Gladstone'S resolutions. al
though it has lost great part of its interest by
the modification of the original propositions
and statement of the governments policy made
by Mr.. Cross on Monday, has still been the
chief political topic during the week.
The conservative journals contend that the
debate will become futile and not end in a we'll
considered opinion on one side or the other,
but in q mere formal counting of heads on
foregoue conclusion. They argue that it is not
desirable to embarrass the government at the
present moment with any general instructions,
or with the proposal of an alternative policy
that all but few Jealous partisans on either
side are anxious to avoid collision with Russia
or Tarkey, and that Cross's statement satisfied
were united in the determination to maintain
peace as long as possible Gladstone's resolu-
tons are merely barren affirmation Of an alb.
stract sentiment.
The opinion of the moderate or official wing
of the Liberal party is very we'll represented by
Goschen's speech Friday night. They argue
that it was mistake of Gladstone to mt his
Sd and 4th resolutions on paper, but that ne
cessity for motion of some kind was shown
by the extravagant rumors which were disturb
ing the public mind.
The radicals are angry at what they term the
mutilation and emasculation of Mr.. Gladstone s
policy. They say Mr. Cross speech declares a
neutrality benevolent towards Turkey
and hostile towards Russia; that the policy of
the liberal leaders is policy of regrets and
hopes which includes no appeal to popular
sympathy and which must 90 to the wall.
They declare that the Marquis of Hartipgton's
management tends to disrupt rather than unite
the liberal party.
rhe Pail Mall Gazette in discussing the
European situation says: "What so long api-
tated the country is no more question Of Tur-
kish m;srule, Bulgarian suffering, Russian
sympathy and British jealousy or good will.
England alone of all Europe has failed to com.
prehend or wilfully ignored this view of the
case, that we have to deal with, not so much re-
form of Turkish institutions as a threatened re-
distribution of power throughout the world"
