A writer in Lining Age says he
drove away all kinds of insects from
his peach trees by placing around the
trunks and branches some vines and
leaves of the tomato. He also drove
insects from his roses by sprinkling
the bushes with water in which tomato
vines had been stepped. The tomato
vine has strong, penetrating sdor,
and it is possible that this discovery
may be valuable one. At all events,
the experiment. can easily be tried

AMERICAN INVENTIVE PROGRESS
Under the above heading the Scien-
fifc 4nseriefn of MAJ 2, has long
and interesting article from which we
make the following extracts: To
show with what rapidity the invent
;ors made improvements on inventions
'enbodying original principals, says
the writer, it may be noted that in
the early days of the sewing machine
'Il6 patents were granted for improve
1nents thereon in single year and
out of the 29l0 patents issued in the
year 1857, l52 were for improved cut
ton-gihs and presses, l64 for improve
ments on the steam engine, and 1893
for novel devices relating to railroads
and improvements in the rolling stock.
In tue year Isis, three years after tile
publication of this paper was COM
menced, but eco patents were granted;
but under the stimulus Of publishing
those inventions as they we're pat
ented, ten years later, in 1853, the
number had increased skiold, reach
ing 37l0, while up to January |, 1850,
as already stated, the aggregate of
patents issued amounted to IL, 467 !;
since that time and up to the present
the total is Isl ,025. Aud curiosity
here leads us (atlds the editor) to le-
view our own work, extending back,
say, twenty years, or to 1857, II period
Outing which l70,745 patents have
been issued. We find, by actual
count, that 62,062 applications have
been made through the Scientific
American Patent Agency for Patents
in the United States and abroad. This
averages almost ten applications per
day, Sundays excluded, over the en-
tire period, and bears the relation of
more tlran one quarter to the total
'nufnberof patents issued in this coun.

CoLoNIZING THE SOUTH .--There
are indications of movements in the
North for colonizing in the South. A
colony is being organized at Spring
field, Massachusetts, for settlement in
Burke county, North Carolina, and
an Irish Catholic association in Cam
ada is preparing to colombo settlers
in the western part of the same State,
on land to be sold at SIS per acre. IT
would not be Surprising if THIS ten
dency were to become important. The
migration Westward has been dis
conraged by the remoteness OF the
Western frontier from market, render
ing it impossible for the Kansas or
Nebraska farmer to get any thing
like satisfactory price for the grain
he raisesI The Southern States are
not subject to this difficulty. There
are millions of acres of unoccupied
lands in them purchasable at 10y
prices and capabl 10 bt yielding crops
that win pay twice or three times as
much for the same amonnt of labor as
the grain lands of the far West. The
cotton that one man can raise in Ark
ansas or Alabama, or the sugar that
one man can make in Louisiana will
bring double the money that the grain
OF potatoes raised by one man in
Iowa or Nebraska will sell for. Soon
er or later the fact will be to defect a
portion of the Western migratory
movement to the South, and to slim
ulate organized agencies in the North

featuring and farming localities in the

The New Orleans Pacific Rail-
: - way Tax.
IN. o. sunday Delta.l

The defeat of this measure by the
popniaf Vote, on Friday last, was a
severe blow to every interest in the
city OF New Orleans. There was
every reason to hope that the good
sense of the community, spirit of
enterprise and d desire to build up the
city and restose SOME of its lost trade,
'would have prompted a large MAORI
ty iii favor of the small tax which was
INDISPENSABLE to secure the early COM
pletiob of the road and Thereby secdfe
direct communication with Marshal,
Texas.
1t is useless to refer to the many
advantages which will accrue from
the construction of this branch OF the
Texas Pacific Railroad. They are ad-
mitted by even the bitterest Oppo-
nents of the tax, who in labOrlng to
defeat it. lave maintained their CON
sistency in resisting the payment of
all taxes for any purpose whatever.
Rival interests and monopolies, at
home and abroad, made the strongest
exertiohs and spent their money free
" to defeat the success of an enter
prise which promised to reduce
freights, shorten the distance, and to
offer a more desirable market for cot
ton, grain and other productions
which now find their way to ST. Louis.
Cutting off New Orleans fJom railroad
communication with Texas makes St.
Louis the gamer by millions of dol
lars annually, whilst it gives NF.
Chas. Motgansa monopoly to control
freights and thereby transfer the bust
ness of Galveston, which legitimately
belongs here, to New York. Hence
the defeat of this tax, which would
have secured the immediate construc-
ton of the road, is entirely in the in
terest of st. Louis, and for the benefit
of. Mr.. Morgan's line OF Texas steam
'ers. Our own city and people will
be the severest sufferers, and those
who Iabored to encompass SO great a
disaster to this community viii some
day regret aud will attempt to explain
their remarkable conduct.
Whilst the defeat Of this tax will
greatly retard the progress of the road,
there is no reason to despair OF its
ultimate Success The enterprise is
too grand a one to fall through, and
if our people have the energy, the
liberality and the foresight to take
hold and build this road aud run it in
their own interest commercially and
politically, there are those abroad
who will see in it profitable invest
ment aud will furnish the required
capital and labor to build it indie
pendently of the city of New Orleans.
The President, Mr.. Wheelock, is
energetic, actiFe and untiring in bis
efforts, and bis zeal and persistency
will yet make the enterprise, to which
he has devoted SO much time and Ia
Dor, emihehtly successful. If he fails
so receive such aid and encourage
'nent from his own people as he has a
right to expect he can go abroad
with certainty of fully realizing his
most extravaganza hopes.
