The Excitement and the Means ADOPTED fOF Its D.
structiOa.


Correspondence Boston Advertissr.J
NEUcHATEL. July 28 Is77.-Dur1ng the past week
the phyiloxera mas heeH discovered in some OF the
vineyards at Colombler, at BOudry. and IN several
gardens at Neuehatei. AS the first mentined To-
caIity produces one Of the most esteemed OF the
NeUehatel white wines, and as the second Is ada
cent to Cortillod, noted for the best red wine OF
the canton, considerable excitement naturally
prevails. 1t now appears that the insect was
brought here With some American vines imported
from Dusseldorf. The CanI0Dal Scientific COmmis-
sion and the local committees are taking most Wig
OFous measures for its exteFmInatOn, for it is be-
heYed that the unchecked TaYases Of this insect
would be more disastrous than q war TO this SEQ
ton OF Switzerland. The areas already Infected
are determined by most careful examinations and
indicated by red flags. A zone. one hundred me-
Gated by white Tags. These districts are now
guarded by police. and no one 10 allowed
60 pass the lines without a special permit from
to those areas marked by the red days, whers
groups Of workmen are engaged IN pulling mp the
vines, dipping their roots IN petroleum, and than
burning them. At neon today the commission
had not positively decided whether the surround
ing zones shall be established at enc hundred
meters or little less IN breadth, but when this IL
decided AL the plants IN these zones also are to be
destroyed in the same manner. The entire soil is
then TO receive treatment intended to kill any
insects thar may remain after the burning OF tha
vines, and the vineyards on the borders Of tbs
desOlated districts are to be most carefully
watched Tor long period Fortunately Swttzer-
land has prepared for this trouble by sending
competent persons to other countries to study the
insect. Its depredations and the modes OF treat
ment, hence those in authority thoroughly under
stand the nature Of the enemy. Encouraged By
the successful treatment two years ago at Pregny,
near Geneva, they hope by energetic and we'll
directed efforts 10 exterminate the pests. out at
best the loSs will be q heavy one. With the phyl-
lozera IN their midst, the pOtatO-bUg already in
Germany, ard the reports of the railroad strikes,
the people are thinking that America Is the home
OF many troubles. They say they like 70 have
American people visit s SWitzerland, but they ear
nestly hope their enemies VIII not follow them.

Calmly still she str8ve 10 speak
Yet her voice grew faint and trembling,
And the red flushed N her cneek.

And they laugh that their eyes are dazzlsd
By the rays Of the setting sun"

ct was only the deer thar were feeding
In a herd on the clover grass;
They were startled and fed Co the thicket,
As they saw the reaDers pass"
now the night arose IN silence,
Birds lay In their leRfy nest
Ana the deer CrOuched in the forest,
And the children were at rest.
There was only a sound of weeping
From watchers around q bed.
But rest to weary spirit
