The number of lady gamblers in
London Is increasing steadily. A col
respondent OF the .Staadard states that
there Is more gambling among women
at the present time than has been the
case since puolic gaming tables were
put down by act OF Parliament. The
harmless bet OF few pair Of gloves al
race meetings is now considered far be-
meath the notice ola dSshug matrop
OF fast maiden. There are not n few
female "plungers' ON turf who put
the pot on, as the idiotic iargon Of
the racecourse has it, with IA much
esgernesI IS the most dissipa'ed subal-
tern At the Raleigh, who stands to win
a heap Of money az Ascot or At Good
wood, with the alternative of running
his old father the country rector II he
loses, aud allowing hls sisters portions
to be swallowed up in paying his
'sdebts OF honor" II the female piui-
ger be unmarried she has recourse
probably to some accommodating dress
maker. or, worse stlll, she accepts pc
cunisrT help from same male friends,
and perhaps puts hersslf for lie IN the
power OF man Who viii one day make
her pay dearly for her inaiscFetson.

One of the most burdensome evils to
which the people of California are sub
jected, and which, by the indignation
it awakened, contributed as much as
anything to the adoption of the new
Constitution, is the eXtortion of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company.
This corporation has acquired wealth
that Is simply enormous, without hav-
ing risked money of its own to any
considerable extent, the road having
been built almost entirely with subsidies
received from the Federal government
and from the State; has absorbed all
the rival and competing roads of Cali
fornls, and renders it impossible for
new competing lines to come into exist
ence. As soon as any attempt of that
kind is made, rates of freight and travel
are lowered to such point as to kill
off the threatened rival, and then they
are raised higher than ever. Il was to
meet this practice that the clause in
the new Constitution was intended,
which provides when rate have once
been lowered, they shall remain at the
reduced figure, unless for good reason
the new board of railway commission
ers give permission to raise them. The
railroad is owned chiefly by three men,
of whom the leading figure is Leland
Stanford. These men have gone so far
as practically to prohibit merchants
from making freight contracts with the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and
from some of the agricultural counties
the freight rates have been so excessive
that farmers have allowed their grain
to rot, because all that they could have
got for it would have had to 60 to the
railroad company for transportation.
The new Constitution, if fairly enIorc.
ed, will prove potent check to this
grinding monopoly; but the question
is, whether it will be so enforced.
The great issue in California to-day IL,
whether the officials and judges to be
elected this fall shall be sincere sup
porters OF the Constitution, or creatures
OF the railroad corporation.

Nome and:Farn.

The Selma IiBes, Of the fifteenth,
has q letter of the fourteenth from
Browns Station, announcing the first
sscrop'' of cotton worms fully develop
ed. many of them already webbed-up.
The writer, Dir. o. F. Hsrrell, well
known in Selma, and who appears to
have made the study of the cotton worm
s specially, recalls the fact that in 1873,
when the destruction of the cotton
crop n that section was almost COM
plete, the first crop of worms was seen
on the twelfth Of July; the second crop
on the twenty-ninth OF July; the third
crop, or sarmy" worm, on the eight
eenth Of August, and during the sue
ceading four nights the cotton plants
were entirely stripped of everything
that the worms could find TO feed upon.
The worms have appeared every year
since, including 1873, from eight to
thirty days later than in 1873, and the
amount of damage done by them each
year was IN proportion TO the date of
their appearance.
Dir. Harrell goes on TO say:
The regularity and, l might add, the
~invariabie production of the second
and third s'crop -or army" establishes
one fact beyond controversy, think,
viz: The only thing that has saved the
cotton crop from destruction any yesE
since 1873 (which is as far back as the
Observations of the writer extend) has
been that the crop of worms did not
make their appearance sufficiently early
TO permit the propagation and develop
ment Of the succeBsIqe crops before the
condition of the atmosphere arrested
tier progress.
TIE period of time required for the
producticn of the "arIny" l find to be
about five and half or six weeks from
the appearance of the first crop" the
weather being favorable for their de-
velopment.
IN speaking OF s'crops" of worms ]
do not wish 20 be understood as refer
ring to the appearance of one, or per.
haps few worms, to be sometime
found on o clrcumscribed spot about
about the plantation but where their
appearance is So general and in such
numbers asto indicate that they can be
found upon close search over the
kteatest part of the plantation infested
with them.
It is we'll established fact that when
the tarmg" once makes its appearance,
every section of country contiguous to
that in which they are found, that has
eve rbcen liable to their depredations,
will be visited within three or four
'--stnys and nights, even to plantations
and communities where the presence OF
the second and third "crop" was never
detected, yet suffered equally as much
by the ravages of the ''army' as the
Immediate plantations upon which the
successive crops OF worms were pro-
duced.
as far IS can be seen to-day, every
thing points to the destruction of all
that part of the cotton plant that the
WORM will feed upon about the twenty
fifth. of August, perhaps few days
earlier but not much later. At this
season of the year about six weeks ID
required from the time a bloom falls
frora the stock to the full maturity of
tie boil consequently, if correct in my
conclusions, 1t would not be difficult
TO estimate our probable crop, even at
this early date.
