Another Preventive of Potato Bugs.

A Palmer Mass, farmer has discoy-
cred that potato bugs can be kept cut
of the fields by means of tight board
Tense two feet above the ground and
one foot below, with II cap peace of
tin projecting over the outer side, so
that when the bugs crawl up the board
and attempt to walk out on the under
side of the tin they will fall back to
the ground On the onter side, The
theory is, Tie potato bug cannot walk
feet upward on the under side of
smooth tin, and hence fence of this
kind will keep all foreign bugs out,
and a little early watching will dis
pose Of all bugs inside the fence.
Yes! That is all very pretty, IN the
Org. but We do not have that kind of
potato bugs about here, nor anywhere
else, from Colorado to Massachusetts,
where we have seen them. The beetle
having pair of well developed active
wings would not be likely to spend
much time in crawling up a fence
when he could more easily fly over il
at his pleasure. The larva, which
does creep, is Matched when it's foo(
is ready for it, and having attained it,
full development it goes into tn,
ground, whence it reappears a perfec
insect scith acings, and ready for "nev
fields and pastures green A YER,
little knowledge of the habits of th
insects would prevent any one iron
making such utterly foolish statemen
as the above which we cut from a

There is a story ahoat that Sccre-

be elected in 1880, and that he will
be an eXConrederate who fought on
that side, but was young enough TO sec
his error and acknowledge it. 1t is
best not to invest too much in this
bosh, for Secretary Sherman is not a
fool and does not peddlc such non

yarn may be correct about a Demo
Gratis being elected in 1880, but there
is no such style Democrat as describ-

Two demonstrations have taken
place in New England, and both are
very significant at the present time,
as showing the currents in our pollti-
cal atmosphere. The one was the
publicly enthusiastic reception of
President Hayes, the other, the severe
attack on his administration at Wood
stock Conn.,, by Ex-Governor Cham
berlain Of South Carolina, and Senator
Blaine of Maine. The reception Of
the President is sufficient argument
in favor of his policy, as against the
spittings of venomous and disappointed
politicians. The politicians hate the
President because of the reforms in
stitutel in the civil service, and be-
cause of the Presidents last order,
announcing that Government Officers
are not bereau politicians, to per-
petuate their own power. There is
mo simple agency within the reach OF
the American people, which would do
so much for the publication of their
politics as reform, radical and
thorough of its civil service. And we
hope that it is not now, q mere party
project, but that the whole people
will join with the President, and hold
up his hands in this good work
