TEMPERANCE

The Murphy movement which has swept
the Southern tier Of counties in the State
like whirlwind, is being inausurated in
this city. The temperance bodies under the
skilful leadership of young Tying. and Others
equally Jealous, have perfected consolida-
ton, and will make a movement along the
whole line. Licenses have been granted as
freely as ever. for the provision in the excise
law which prohibited licenses to all except
innkeepers, who kent three beds for the ac-
commodation of the public, was very easily
eysded. The rum mills each put up three
hunks in their rear rooms, and unblushinglY
swore that they were innkeepers, and got
their licenses The hunks were found con-
venient as they could be used to lay out the
more respectable of their customers when
they got too heavy a cargo on. Practically
there is no regulation or check upon rum
selling in this city-it is all free as air.
Everybody sells who chooses, and sells when
ever he chooses, Sundays and weekdays, it
is all one The temperance bodies are de-
termined to put some impediment in their
way and to do it now. They intend TO hold
series of monster meetings, to awaken the
public conscience, and then to commence
legal proceedings vigorously. They will or
ganize in every ward, have vigilance com
mittees, the best counsel to take the cases
through the courts, and at the meetings they
expect to make it warm for public men who
stand in the way of the reform They in
tend to shut up great many who cannot
stand the expense of repeated prosecutions,
accomplishing great deal of good there
by, as these are the small bueket-shops that
furnish the very poor, with the vilest rum,
and they intend as well to regulate the
traffic among those who are too strong to be
sqrelched, compelling them to at least keep
it within the bounds Of decency. All good
citizens are expected to jim in the move
ment, and by sheer force Of public opinion
make it success. 1t will amount to some
thing this time, for it is being gone about in
the proper way

PROTECTION AGAINST CRIME.

There isn't the slightest protection against
crime in the city. lfa man charged with
crime is arrested, he has no difficulty in
making his escape, if he has money enough.
W thin week four men charged with grave
crimes and under arrest, del iberstely walked
of, one out of Ludlow street Jail, one out of
the tombs police court, and two out of the
court house. In each case the officers in
charge of the prisoners were conveniently
blind, or conveniently out of the way, and all
the prisoners had to do was to walk out an d
get away. Now all this means
TANxANY Is IN CONTROL AGAIN.
The spirit of reform which shook the city
has spent its course, popular feeling has in a
measure subsidized, vigilance is relaxed and
the Democracy have come to the front again.
The old Tweed villains are filling the Offices,
Boss Kelly and his gang have control, and
such operations as permitting the escape Of
criminals who can pay for it, are no longer
punishable. Unless the advancing tide is
checked by some demonstration OF strength
on the part of the Republicans supported by
the decent portion Of the Democracy, the
city will be in the control of the Tammany-
ties as completely as it was under Tweed
within a year. The Republicans who are
growing about small matters in the Presi-
dents policy ought to stay here while,
and see the practical workings of Democracy
where it has unlimited sway. 1t is alike
everywhere. Wherever it gets power cor
ruption runs riot, and fraud rules supreme.
Tammany is poison which abides wherever
there is Democratic majority. The strug-
glo now is not so much as to policies as it
is whether the respectable portion of the
population or the lower elements shall have
control. In Democratic New York we are
very securely in the hands of the lower ele-
ments, and the police columns of the news
papers show the effects thereof much more
clearly than | can.

ALBURGH. "A kipd of lice have appeared
on the apple and plum trees in this section.
They attack the leaves principally, which
roll up and In some cases die. The fruit of
the plum has, in some cases, been injured
by them. There is white grub, or worm
rolled up in. the leaf. They do not stay
on the leaf br. few days.
The Congregational society are taking Of

The Colorado bugs have Matched out and
commenced their summers work, and seem
to be making up for lost time. They seem
to be the iron-clad sort. as they laugh at
Paris green. One man sprinkled his vines
with a mixture of two tablespoonfuls of the
poison to pailful of water. and the next
morning he found the bugs as lively
at work sS ever, and could find
none of them dead. Ho took some
of the insects and put them in the settings
in MS pail, and left them over night. The
next morning they were alive, and eagerly
deyoured some potato tops which he put in
the pail. A little black flea, resembling
the turnip flea. has destroyed large quaint
ties of the eggs in some fields, but they do
not seem to NEEDLE with them after they
hatch out.
puc VI OuE ultECuhnlN, mo MAJ never
handled Paris green before, but who had
heard the many stories OF its terribly pois-
onou, nature. ordered some to supply his
customers. When it came he carried it to
the furtherest corner of his store chamber
and when his first customer came he put on
q pair of mittens. and wrapped his head
up so as not to inhale any of it; and then
weighed it out lie says it took him halt
an hour to get IL weighed A painter 81
short time after called in and wished to ex-
anime it; the merchant with great caution
showed it to him, and was greatly surprised
to see him run his finger in the poison, rub
1t on the tcger and even taste it to see if it
was good. Since that he brought it to the
lower part of the store and is quite handy
in dealing it out.

1t has generally been supposed that the prices for
stocks in September, 1873, had been demonstrated
to be too high, yet the preferred stock Of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Company to-day sold
as high, although the earnings Of 400 miles for
the second week Of September, 1877, only
$l2,3S0 greater than those Of /, ,2S3 miles in
1873, while the bonded debt Of the company in the
meantime, has been increased over $6,000,O00, re-
quring $4,000 more for the annual interest
count. OF such material is composed the reasoning
which pretends to justify present prices.
