however. science has been successfully APP
piled to their determination during the exist
ence OF the first generation Of the insecta.
Chemical poisons have succeeded In destroy
ing them where mechanical appliances and
efforts have even failed to effect an apparent
decrease In their numbers. We believe that
Paris green has been the most effectual and
practical destructive agent that has yet been
discovered to prevent material injury to the
cotton fields from the army worm Or all other
caterpilIars which feed upon the cotton plant
This Is purchased at q small cost, can be
easily applied, and, with care In handling,
entails no danger upon those who apply 1t.
Hundreds OF instances may be cited where
1t has saved cotton crops where surrounding
fields upon which 1t was not used were at
the came time almost completely destroyed.
We hope that the first generation OF the
dreaded pests, which have visited the fields
at SO early date this year that they threaten
to effect serious injury, will be destroyed in
time by the prompt application OF some
chemical agent which has been successfully
used before and saved thousands OF bales Of
cotton,

The San Francisco Bulletin has been ana

that State and has deduced moral there
from. There was not, as some papers pre-
tend, a split between the mining and agri-
cultural interests Of the State, the first op-
posing, the latter supporting the constitution.
Itseems to have been direct conflict between
the prosperous and unfortunate sections Of
the State. Thus the prosperous counties OF
the Sacramento valley and Central Ca ifornia,
devoted wholly to agriculture, voted against
the constitution, while in the San Juan coun-
try, also agricultural, but which has been
faring badly Of late on account OF drouth,
ETC., the new constitution received heavy ma
lorities. In the mining country it was the
same story. The prosperous counties voted
INC" while Shasta, Plumas, Calaveras and
Placer, which are not doing well, voted for the
new constitution. Throughout the State the
prosperous sections were satisfied with the
old constitution; while those that we're not
doing well desired q change. It ID q we'll

The Republican campaign against Ewing
and Rice has already opened. The Demo-
cratic candidates proved their loyalty during
the war in the forefront OF battle, while Foster
was at home specializing In commodities OF
various kinds and making rapid fortune out
of the necessities and opportunities OF the
times Now it is discovered that the two
former are little better than rank rebels. In
fact, they have been seen In company with
certain rebel brigadiers In Washington and
their fealty to the Union has been much
shaken thereby. Before the campaign is over
Foster will loom UP as savior Of the coun-
try, while Ewing and Rice will be made to
appear In the guise Of Its most deadly enc
mics. All the same, the sectional cry has
been taken out OF the campaign by their nom
nation and cannot be again forced into 1t.

gagged for the greater part Of yesterdays
session In considering the report Of the Com
mittee on Education. The report recon-
mended certain changes In the present
system, one OF which is the adjustment Of
the Office OF Superintendent Of Public Educa-
ton When the first article was taken UP. g
warm debate ensued over a substitute which
provided for that Office. No test vote was
reached up to the time Of the adjournment Of
the Convention. The interest manifested on
either side was great and the speeches made
developed a positive feeling both for and
against the retention OF the Office.

THE COTTON WORM.

The appearance OF the cotton worm in diff
ferent portions Of the States Of Alabama,
Mississippi and Texas has been recently re-
ported from several counties OF these States.
The reports at first were not believed, as
rarely, if ever, have these terrible enemies Of
the cotton plant visited the fields at so early
date as they have been seen this season.
Their presence in many localities has, how
ever, lately been confirmed as fact. A few
years ago the fact was emphatically fixed upon
the minds Of most OF the planters in the lower
part Of the cotton region that "the early
worm catches-the cotton"
The general appearance Of the army worm
during the month Of June was then the cause
for serious apprehension, as all simple me-
chanical experiments to exterminate them
were utterly useless, and failed to prevent the
rapid multiplication Of the much dreaded raw
ayers. The first arrival Of the moths, which
are progenitors Of the species, are, and always
have been, rarely noticed. In fact, 1t has
been held by many that the eggs which first
Matched In the warm weather have lain DOR
mant in the cotton-stalks during the winter.
hence the practice Of burning the stalks
This has failed to prevent the perpetuation OF
Llo species.
The first brood or Matching Of the worm is
followed In about three weeks by webbing in
the chrysalis stage and return to the moth.
which lays Its eggs and natallttiiplies the spe-
cies more than hundredfold unless partially
destroyed or exterminated. This TRANSFORMS
ton goes on for three or more generations
unless checked by some means, until the
third generation comes out as an army. which
strips OF their leaves and completely destroys
the cotton plants over entire fields and whole
sections Of the country, 10 the more southern
portions Of the cotton belt particularly.
In years past, as we have said, the appear
ance Of these pests in the early part OF June
was the cause OF dread to the planters In the
localities they visited, and was considered as
q certain indication Of the partial or total
destruction Of the crops. or later years,

AnrnfnIIihle remedy.

If there is one thing more thar
another that annoys a good wife
who is nervously sensitive to al
that is gross and ill-timed, it is the
habit some husbands have of using
/ profane language in their homes
In many cases this is mere thought
| ieSsness on the part of the good man,
who never gives a thought to the
! better-half; even should she mildly
demonstrate, he pays nOattention to
the rebuke.
A lady whose husband was adj
dicted to the bad practice we have
alluded to, came to her family ply
sician, laid her grievances before
him and said:
"Now, DIR. N, won't you re-
mOnstrate with him and try to
break him of his habit? 1 know he
will listen to you"
"Why, madam" said the doctor,
''he would pay no attention to any
thing | could say to him; but as you
have come to me, although some
what out Of line, / will recommend
a prescription, to be administered
by you, that will certainly cure him.
1t is an infallible remedy" /"
''Oh, what il il doctor2"
"Well, when John comes home
again and swears, do you swear
back at him. OF course, l. don't
want YOU to take the name of the
Lord i'm vain, but d--n things
little for his benefit"
And she did.
The next day John came i'm and
inquired whether dinner was ready,
and was told that it was not.
"Well, why in the devil isn't ?"
said he.
Because, !" She replied, "the wood
was so id wet the fire wouldn't
burn.'
"Why, Mary, what is the matter
with you? Are you crazy or have
you been drinking?"
Neither" she said, and quietly
proceeded to put on the dinner.
The beef didn't melt like butter
between his teeth-it rather resisted
all efforts at mastication, like so
India-rubber, and finally
John blurted out:
"What makes this id beef so
Internal tough?"
Mary looked up arehly and re-
piled:
"Well, John, | suppose you went
down to the butchers, and, without
knowing the difference, picked out
a piece of some id old stag that
hadn't been fed for a month";"
John jumped up, looked at his |
wife in dismay, and wanted to know
what such language from her lips |
''It means just this, John; you |
are the head of the family, and just |
as long as you think it manly TO !
swear in my presence, | intend to
do the same. If you don't like to
hear it, you know how to prevent |
it."
The cure was radical, and to this |
late Mary has never been compelled /
to administer another dose of DIR.
