Mr.. ApRAA s. HEWITT, the recognized
spokesman Of Afr. Tt1DxN, is reported as
saying chat lie would rather consent to now

horrorn Of civil war by proceeding contrary
to or outside Of the forms OF law. While,
in ors sense, this may be commended as q

The Governor In his message acknowledges
that in tho exercise of the pardoniug power
he has made many mistakes, both In grant
ing parlons and in not granting them. On
the whole, however, lie claims that tho Gov
ernor Of the 8tato stands IN tho relation Of
fatler to the 1900 convicts In the priaon,
and must bo governed by tie feelings Of a
parent. Admitting this to be true, the Gov
ernor should not forget TINT he stands in tho
same relation to tile three millions Of other
people In tho State who arc not In tho
States Prison, and whose only protection
for their lives, persons, and property is in
the execution Of the laws and the punish
ment Of those who commit crime. In tho
selection Of criminals for tho parental clem-
oncy Of tho Executive, It docs not follow that
murlerers, burglars, garroters, md vio1ators
Of women nre Of tho class Of criminals to

The Gredtest Medical Discovery since the Crea-

There never has been:a time when the

present: 1t is an undisputed fact that over

they ever before tried, and that one OF these
plasters will do more real service thar a hum

tiers arc slow Of action, and require TO be
worn continually to effect q cure; but with
these It is entirely different; the instant one
is applied the patient will feel Its effect.
Physicians In all ages lave thoroughly
tested and we'll know the effect of Capsicun;
and 1t has always been more or less used as "a
medical agent for an outward application;
but IL Is only OF a very recent date that its ad-
vantages in O porous plaster have been dis
covered. Being, however. convinced of the
wonderful cures effected by DIR. MELvIN's
riority over all other p~lasters, they now
actually prescribe them, in their practice, for
such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side
and back and all such cases as have required
the use of plasters or liniment. After you

Soils for Strawberries.

e. B. Underhill, in the Country Gen
Heman, says: "My finest Seth Boydens
and Monarchs were raised on rich
gravelly loan, with clay subsoil, in mat
ted rows, and heavily mulched with
fresh strawy horse manure, early in the
minter. My first Downings on muck
lntermingled with clay, on a clay sub
soil Plants on moist, heavy land, that
may appear entirely hardy, will be in
jured by the freezing and thawing of
March and April, when the coolest
weather would not harm them. The
plan of strawberry setting that has sue
ceeded best with me is to put in rows two
and half feet apart for hill culture and
five feet apart for matted rows of the
strong growers. In the row, set from six
to ten inches apart, according to size of
plant at maturity, leaving a vacancy be-
tween each pair for hill of dwarf early
sweet corn, to be taken off when fit for
the table and before strawberries run
much. The stubs left keep the straw
from moving during the high winds that
are apt to precede the snowfall. have
met with no other method sure to keep
the straw in position on large plats in ex-
posed situations, and the crop pays we'll
for the trouble. OF course the land
must be fed extra for the crop. Three
quarters of the one hundred or more
varieties tried here will do we'll on any
land not too wet or too poor. As rule
good corn land is good strawberry land,
We read of land too rich, but I have
never found trouble in that direction.
With me the ratio of fruit has been in
extra proportion to that of richness, only
with this berry, but with currents and
raspberries also, and even the plants that
for years have yielded my finest Kittatin-
MES send their roots under wall, rich
on either side.
The market is glutted with small (?)
fruit grown on clover-stick, half-starved
land, whose phosphates and potash have
long since fed with the milk and pota-
toes to the city, and the sprinkling of
plaster a poor mans manure in the
snowfall fail 10 restore the nitrogen
needed The big berries that are not
" thrown into the docks" are grown
elsewhere"

of this rope; lay little and let the upper
edge of the tin project above the rope two
inches. If the moths manage to get to
the upper edge of the tin they cannot
reach the tree or at least they will not,
as they only keep going round and round
the circle, not knowing that they can go
down to the rope and thus gain the tree.
finding they cannot get up, the moths
deposit their eggs around and below the
tins where they can be destroyed.
If the tin is used piece cut as for a
funnel may be used without the rope by
drawing it tightly around the two and
lacking at the bottom.
The experiment of Swinging the trees
with Paris green has been tried in Illinois
with good results.
When tarred paper bands are used to
entrap the moths in spring, the tar will
need to be renewed as often as it becomes
hard.

from Prof. Cook, of the Agricultural Col
lege, which says: "Urge all to give the

Rapid Riding.

A German military paper gives the
following list of long rides, which have
been lately accomplished for bets by Ger
man officers:
On the 10th of July, 1875, Count
August zu Stelberg, lieutenant in the
Fourth regiment Of Cuirassiers, rode from
Munster to Hanover, distance OF
twenty-three German miles or nearly
105 English miles, in II hours 81
minutes. On the 18th of October, 1876
Lieutenant Won Roize, of the Eleventh
regiment of Uhlans, rode on the same
horse from Perleburg to Berlin, distance
of IA kilometers, or about eighty-fvt
miles in "a hours. On the 21stof October
1876, Lieutenant Won Schutter, Of the
Sixth dragons, rode one horse, carrying
load of 155 pounds, from Kemburg tC
Frankfort, distance of 537 kilometres
800 miles in 80 hours The much
| longer ride of the Austrian lieutenant
Her Won Zubovice, who rode one horse
from Vienna to Paris in fourteen days
averaging thirteen German or nearly
sixty English miles day, is well known
as is also the feat performed by the same
officer on the 25th of February last wher
he swan his horse across the Danube, be
tween Ofen and Pesth, in S minutes anC
40 seconds, the temperature of the water
being only two degrees above the freez
ing point.

The Golden Rose.

1t is rumored that the Pope intends
testifying his appreciation of Mrs. Gen.
Sherman's zeal in raising the largest sub
scription sent by the Romanists CT one
nation, in honor of his jubilee, by pre-
senting her with the Golden Rose, with
which only sovereigns, churches or cities
have been honored heretofore. Indeed,
it is said that only three times has Plus
TX. given this honorable symbol to any
one. One of the three he has so honor
ed is Maria Teresa, formerly Queen of
Naples, to whom he gave it as a testi-
mony of his appreciation of the kind
ness and affection with which she and
her royal consort, Ferdinand, received
him at Gaeta when he fled from Rome
in 1913. The Empress Eugene received
the second, and Elizabeth, Empress of
Austria, the third. The rose is made of
gold of the purest quality, and fashion
ed by skilful artist. The fourth Sun
day in Lent is set apart for the blessing
of the Golden Rose by the sovereign
pontiff, who sends it to a prince, princes
or city, as pledge of his paternal affec
ton.

The Canker Worm.

In some portions of this state the Can
ker worm has appeared in such force as
to awaken comfortable anxiety for the
safety of the orchards and other trees.
1t is satisfaction to know that entomol-
ogists have learned the history of this
pest and discovered remedies by which
it can be completely out-generaled and
destroyed, if every man will join in the
warfare. The female is wingless moth,
says Prof. Cook, in his Injurious In
sects of Michigan" and therefore must
crawl to place to deposit her eggs 1t
is her nature to crawl up trees for this
purpose and the meet the male moth
which is a lively, trim chap with abund-
ance of wing power. The female comes
out of the ground early in spring, and
her mischief is done before one is aware
of it often. By this time, if not inter
rupted, these marauders have eaten the
foliage from all the trees attacked. They
belong to the measuring worm tribe, and
if disturbed ON the tree they always have
a fine silken thread ready buckled on
and attached to the tree by which they
can swing off into the air and hang there
until all danger is past. After the tree
is denuded of its foliage, the worms seek
the ground where they burrow to the
depth of four or five inches and remain
until spring, and then come forth per-
feet moth. When they get possession of
the trees, the only thing to do is to wrap
piece of tarred paper about the trees
tightly, about five inches wide, and then
jar the worms down. They will almost
Immediately make for the tree in all
directions. When they reach the tarred
paper they are arrested by getting stuck
fast in the tar. If the strip or paper be-
comes covered with worms, so as to
bridge it over and allow others to pass
over the first series, apply another coat
of tar over the worms.
A sure remedy, however, is better; and
this same tarred paper is used to prevent
the female moth from going into the tree
early in spring. But this is not always a
royal preventive, as in cool weather a
coat forms on the tar and she glides over
it without getting her delicate feet even
scented with it. DIR. LIE Baron, says Prof
Cook, suggestsa heater and more eflectual
remedy. Fasten piece of inch rope
around the tree, letting the ends lap by
and lacking each end. Take strip Of

Where the Chignons Come From.
From Frank Leslie's Weekly.


The trade in human hair continues to
increase in Marseilles, and it has now
become staple article of commerce in
that city. Six or seven years ago the
annual quantity did not exceed sixteen
tons, but it had increased in 1873 to
fifty, and in 1875 to eighty tons. 1t was
thought that this total would never be
exceeded, but the returns for 1876 have
already falsifed the prediction as dur
ing the past year ninety-two tons were
registered as hrving arrived at Marseilles.
Formerly all the hair imported into Mar
settles came from Italy, but the country
has been made unable to meet the in
creasing demand, and brisk trade has
been opened with the extreme east.
Thus of the ninety-two tons imported
last year, forty-three came from Italy,
while China supplied thirty-six, Turkey,
five and Japan three tons, the remainder
being made from up of importations
from Egypt, India, Germany, Belgium,
Spain and Algeria. The total quantity
of hair imported into France last year il
estimated at one hundred and twenty.
two tons, valued at 100000.
