Bad News for Cucumber Eaters,

nounced a discovery well fitted to startle Gu
cumber eaters. 1t was to the effect that this

That's the scientific account of the pecul-

AsGrasshopper Harvester.

Since Thursday morning there was shipped
from this city to points in Minnesota, over
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
road, over two thousand barrels of coal-tar
and twenty tons Of sheet iron, consigned
mostly to the Governor of that State. The
articles have been sold by Chicago mer-
chants at cost price, while the railroad COM
pany has taxed the shippers merely nomi-
nal figure for hauling the freight, as they
are the parties who. next to the farmers, OK
pect to be most largely benefited in the end.
The coal-tar will be used for the extcrmina-
tlon OF the young grasshoppers, and the
sheet-iron is used for the construction of a
machine for the effective utilization of the
tar. Thousands of these machines will be
built in Minnesota before the end of next
week. The machine is simple in its con.
.struction. A strip OF sheet-iron, twelve or
fifteen feet long, is bent up on one edge
sufficiently to admit of its passing over
Jumps Of earth. Other strips, from four
to six inches wide, are riveted. on the
other edge and at each end, forming a kind
Of scoop. (This is a. s'scoop'' on the other
grasshoppers) A wire is attached to each
front corner Of the scoop by which it can be
drawn over the ground. A chain or rope is
fastened so that it will drag uponthe ground
about eighteen inches in advance of the ma
chine. This will scare up the grasshoppers.
The inside OF the scoop is thickly plastered
with coal tar, and the machine is dragged
across the field against the wind. Millions
OF 'hoppcrs will stick to the tar. When the
scoop gets full the driver can either scrape
off the insects in a heap and burn them or
blaze them against the bottom Of the ma.
chine. This exterminator is said to be work.

Fertilizers.

During tie past Twelve months North Car
olina has paid So, 900, 900 for fertilizers from
other States; Georgia, 100000 We hav e
no data for the amount paid by Virginia, but
we suspect it exceeds that paid by either of
our Southern sisters. A widespread impress
sion prevails that a large proportion of the
so-called fertilizer used by our farmers is
worthless, 1. G., so much money thrown
away.
We heard statistician the other day ex-
press the opinion that since the war Virginia
had expended in fertilizers and sewing ma
chimes, which did not yield one per cent. on
the outlay, enough and more to pay her
State debt.-Richmond Wing.
mot only are many of the fertilizers com.
paratively worthless, but they are all ex-
haustives. If our farmers would turn their
attention more to the use OF lime composts,
they would permanently improve their lands.
and save the money sent out Of the State for
artificial manIlres, much of which is more

LOSS AND GAIN.

When the baby died, we said.
With sudden, sec1 ct dread.
Death, be merciful and pass:
Leave the other" But alas!
While we watched we waited there,
One foot on the golden stair.
One hand reckoning at the gate.
Till the home was desolate.
Friends say it is better so.
Clothed in innocence to go;
Say to ease the parting pain,
That your loss is but their gain.
All, the parents think of this,
But remember more the kiss
From the little rose red lips!
And the print OF finger tips
Left upon broken toy,
Will remind them how the boy
And his sister charmed the days
With their pretty winsome ways.
Only time can give relief
To the weary lonesome grief;
Gods sweet minister Of pain
That shall sing OF loss and gain.

Reconciliation.

In Providence, Rhode Island, last week,
the Baptist national anniversaries were held.
On Wednesday Rev. W. E. Hatcher, D. D..
and Rev. A. E. Dickinson, D. D., delegates
appointed by the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton to bear fraternal greetings to the Union,
were then invited to the platform.
They were received by DR.. Robinson, who
expressed pleasure in extending the greet
ing Of the Union to them. We have passed
through sad scenes. The yawning chasm
has seemed to be closing up; the seam yet
remains. We ask nothing but this; You and
we look to the same God; we worship the
same Saviour; we are working in the same
cause; and we all look forward to the day
when in fullness of spirit we shall be abse-
lutely one. [Applause.] extend to you, l
am confident, the true Christian fellowship
from every member Of this Union.
DIR. Hatcher responded briefly. We count
it as great pleasure, he said, to appear be-
fore you as representatives of the Southern
Convention. We came simply upon a fra
ternal errand-to bring the cordial sympa-
thy Of our brethren with you in your work.
need not tell you that the hearts Of the
southern brethren beat responsive with yours
in this work. This spectacle which we wit
messed here this morning is one that will
leave its impress on my heart all through
life. have seen no subimer sight than the
joining Of Gods people together to take
hold Of and divide responsibility, and in
that way prepare themselves for enlarged
activity in the future. We thank you for
for your cordial, loving reception.
As the delegates were leaving the platform
there were leud calls for DR.. Dickinson, and
he, returning, made some brief remarks,
hanking the Union for its kind reception,
and assuring the members that the hearts of
their southern brethren were with them.
Previously the Journals report of the
same days proceedings said:
Rev. DR.. Dickinson, of Va, made an adj
dress full of interesting points. He predict
ed the conversion Of the heather, told stor-
les, and aroused a degree of enthusiasm
which must have astonished the old First
Baptist Church.
CHICAGO, May 29.-In the Presbyterian
Assembly the Committee on Correspondence
reported the correspondence with the Church
South, and recommends the adoption of res
olutions. which were ordered to be printed
and placed on the docket. The following is
| the second resolution:
Without casting any reflection upon past
general assemblies or changing any of their
deliverancies, we have declared that the Ian
guaee specifically complained Of by south.
ern assemblies is part of the sorrowful past
which we in this day of peace and fraternity
would wish to forget, and it is matter OF
sincere regret that the terms of schism and
heresy and blasphemy should ever have been
applied to the southern Presbyterians by

SALT FOR CABBAGEs.-The Practical
Fruit Recorder gives the experience Of
New Jersey gardener in the cultivation OF
cabbages, who considers salt necessary to
their development, especially in places far
from the coast. He finds them more crisp,
Of better flavor, and to keep better when
salt is used than without. He uses it as fol-
lows: ga few days after setting out the
plants, and when they are damp, either after
or before a rain, or when the dew is on,
take small dish of fine salt, and, walking
among the rows, sprinkle little pinch of
salt on the centre of each plant. When the
leaves begin to grow repeat the sailing,
and when the centre Of the leaves begin to
form the head apply the salt again, scatter
ing it over the leaves. After. this I look
them over occasionally, and If find plants
that do not head well Or appear diseased, I
sprinkle the salt over freely. This will save
all such plants. A quart of salt is sufficient
for five hundred plants in season, although
more can be used with safety"

French Chickens.

It is probable that few persons out of
France are aware Of the extent of what may
be termed the 'poultry-industry' of that
country. According to statistics given by
one:of the French papers, France supports at
the present time no fewer than 100000
hens, representing, at an estimated average
of 2 francs 80 confines each, 100000
francs (s20,o0o,OOo). These 100000 hens
give birth annually to 1O0,0OO,000 chickens,
OF which it's found:expedient to put aside TO-
0OO,0 900 each year for productive purposes.
Accidents and disease again reduce the num-
Der of chickens destined for consumption to
S0,000 600, which, putting their average val.
ue at franc so confines apiece, may be es-
timated as worth 100, 100000 francs (s24,-
O0O,0o0. To these figures must be added
the further value due to capons and fat pull
lets, which may be stated as {, o00, 900 francs.
