MelOphagus oviaus, or Sometimes Called Sheep
Ticks.

These insects are distinguished by
their flattened and somewhat horny
bodies, the horizontal, flattened head,
which is received into the front part
Of the thorax, and the rudimentary
antenna. Some of them possess wings
bur others have these members abort
ed, or are entirely without them, as in
tho case of the sheep tick. The front
part of the body of this species is IN
usually small; the head is somewhat
wider than the thorax, which is very
narrow; the mouth or proboscis is as
long as the head; the limbs are short
and thick, and the abdomen, (which
is broad and hairy, is not divided in
TO rings. as that of flies usually is"
1t is Of pale, reddish color; the alb
domen is lighter, with an irregular
white line along each side and red
spot on the back.
The mode of reproduction in these
flies is very singular and unusual.
They produce neither eggs nor larya /;
the egg-duct or tube has an enlarge
ment which produces milk-like Sc
erection for the nourishment of tie
larva or young maggot; the egg-for
they usually give birth TO but one or
two young-passes from the ovary to
this enlargement and matches into
larva, is nourished here during this
stage of existence upon the milk-like
fluid before alluded to, until it passes
into the pupa or chrysalis state at
which time it leaves the body of the
parent. Instead, therefore, of produ-
cling eggs or larva, they produce pupa.
Therefore, strange as it may seem, we
see in this very low type of animal
life somewhat close imitation of the
method of reproduction observed in
the higher animals-KanSa Farmer

The Evsr-Bearing Strawberry Failure.

Subscriber" who omits both name
and residence, but who seems to be
acting in good faith, asks If the Next
can ever-bearing strawberry has sus-
tanned the claims made for it some
years ago, aud if so, where it can be
had. In answer we would SO no. We
do not think it has proved valuable
anywhere. If, however, our CORES
pondent is curious to test it. we think
it may ,ssibly be had by addressing
any advel Using nurseryman. Itis not
catalogued, but if the nurseryman has
it not, he may possibly be able tn hunt
it up somewhere.-Prairie Farmer.

Should he fail to make an endeavor
to do so. Wecby 40 means bslisSe
that he has thrust upon the commit=
tee thorespOasibility of having made
futile charges, or that he has left any
just doubt of his determination to do
his duty as was marked out in his
speech before the Baton Rouge nom
ination, and repeated in his letter to
Mr.. McVeigh and other commission
ers. No one can doubt that the sup
port to which the Governor owed his
election was composed of incon-
gruous and even opposite elements.
The Democratic Conservative
party can not be united by a
hyphen. 1t contains opinions as
alien and as antagonistic to each
other, as those which. constitute
the explosive force of gunpowder.
The Democratic element would con-
troll the State by force. 1t would
nullify the political rights of the me-
gro. The Conservative element
would maintain in good faith the
compromises of the compact to which
the Conservatives owe their partici-
patton in the government of the State
and city. Whenever an issue shall
be made which tests the sincerity of
Conservative pledges, we shall see
the whole colored Republican force
rally to their support as their only
protection against White Leaguers
and bulldozers; and as the Conserva-
tives have in effect cast out the pro-
fessional carpet-bagger it may be
their crowning glory to have extin-
guished the bulldozer and White
Lacquer. Whenever his excellency
shall take ground upon the question
ofsocial disorder, he will rally around
him the Conservatives who wish
peace and industry, and the Republic
can colored masses, who lave no
other hope at home and abroad than

tism Of the constitution and the

his speech, delivered at IOledO,
Ohio, on the twenty-sixth of August,
was evidently intended as a vindi-
cation Of the Republican party
against the misunderstanding and
Misrepresentation which has assailed
it. This is done in a mastery man
ner. Not only is it shown that the
financial course of the Republican
party has been adopted at the COM
mand of the people, but it shows
that Senator Thurman, in charging
the Republicans with having caused
stringent contraction of circulation,
has done great injustice. Whatso-
ever contraction of circulation has
occurred has been caused by the ma
tional banks The national curren-
cy has been somewhat increased.
The Secretary makes this distinction
between the responsibility of the ma
tional treasury for the issue of cur
rency and that of the national banks.
which pay out a circulation of their
own notes redeemable in greenbacks,
very palpable. He shows that the
government of the United States can
rot be held to account for any al
legged deficiency Of circulation. If it
shall have succeeded in maintaining
its currency at par it will inevitably
have done the same with national
notes, since il they shall be ex-
changed for greenbacks, and the lat
ter presented for redemption, the
government will virtually make good
the currency and the bank circula-
ton. To this volume Of paper will
will be added the one hundred and
thirty millions Of gold and silver
now in the treasury, with any adj
ditional amount which may be nee
essary to maintain resumption. It
has been repeatedly explained that
the redemption Of note does not
mean its cancellation. It may be
paid out over the same counter at
which it has been redeemed. While
the Secretary ayows his purpose to
stand By the laws Of resumption, he
does 50 on the sagacious principle
enounced BY President Grant that
