The following is what We know of

Tho esgs Of the moth are deposited
on tho under surface of the tender
leaves, they number 10 to IS and re-
semble in color the leaf The period
of incubation is estimated variously
from s to IS days. The time of hatch

'iently to destroy the crop.
Observing persons state that they
ppear at intervals Of 3 years in

10 correctness Of this theory. In

Knoxville Tribune.l
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph and Messen-
ger: Judge Hillyer's exposition of
law in the Hill murder case is attract
ing a great deal of attention all over
the country, and we have not yet seen
its soundness called into question.
Indeed, the consequences of a differ
ent ruling have bore such disastrous
fruits on public morale and the safety
of human life in many of the States,
that men begin to see hat a return to
first principles is the only alternative
to a system of vendettas in life shall
depend on the art and practice of self
defense, and the within of anybody
who ~conceiyes himself aifrontod or
injured.
The very foundation principle of
citizenship is a waiver of the natural
right of self vindication in favor Of
the law and the Judgment of his peers.
If this waiver is not made and en-
forced, courts and juries are a mere
sham-a false p~retense. We should
return to the law of the savage-or
rather to natural law, for even the
savage is controlled in inAictiug his
private vengeance by the usage and
tradition of the tribe. Even he dare
not violate them, however much the
white man may throw scorn on courts
and iuries, aud undertake to be his
own law, Judge, jury and executioner.
1t is true thai when a mans rights
are suddenly and violently assailed,
and there is no time for a resort to
legal remedies, the law and public
opinion justify a man in substituting
natural remedies. But this right Of
substitution ceases at the mement OF
the recurrence of opportunity for legal
inquiry and redress. When any man
has this, and yet ssum to judge his
own case, pass sentence, take his shot
gun and play executioner, although he
may have had grave aflront or injury.
vet he aiFronts the dignity of the
State still more, and makes himself
an outlaw by publicly casting off and
scorning the restraints and the protec,
ton of law.
