Farmers are informed that last year Mr..
j. D. Austin, of Fannin county, Pexas,
distributed thirteen bottles filed with
coal oil, supplied with lamp wick, at
tached TO As many sticks, higher than the
growing cotton, with one end stuck in
the ground ut suitable distances from
each other, In a forty acre field. At dusk
he lights the lamps. The cotton moths,
attracted by the lights buzzed about them
instead of depositing their eggs on the
cotton bolls. The next morning the
ground was strewn about the lamp sticks
with wingless moths. The lamps were
used as long as it was deemed necessary.
The result was that a bale OF cotton to
the acre was produced, at an extra cost Of
three cents per acre. On n twenty-five
acre field, on the same plantation, where
no lights were used, the crops were de-
stroyed by the boll-worm.

Bill Smith, n noted horse thief and a
daring and desperate young man, was ar
rested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Sub

town last night, and the officers,
who have been on the lookout
for him for over three years,
learning of his daring temerity, at once
brushed up their arms aud calmly await

rested HIM. Bill is dealer in horse
flesh, and where should they go to find

have done had he had halt a chance.
Before the officers could get their
hands on the six-shooter the land
lady of the establishment rushed In
and snatched Il from the bed and spir-
tied IL away. One Of the officers was
sent TO get it, but failed. Smith was
finally lodged in Jail and ironed. 1t is
said he has been In the penitentiary and
the officers believe that he escaped from
that institution. There are several COM

much credit for capturing this outlaw,

Guitean.s Witnesses.

On the day Guiteau was srraigned for
the murder Of President Garfield, in the
District Criminal Court at Washington,
Nj. Scoville, his counsel, asked Judge
Cox to pass an order directing the wit
nesses named by him-the number not
to exceed forty-four-to be summoned
and their attendance to be procured at
the cost OF the government The United
States Attorney, Mr.. CorkhIll, cited the
law under which the government may
summon and pay defendants witnesses,
who reside within the District or within
a hundred miles, but he maintained
that the summoning of medical
experts from remote places and the
paying of their fees was not warranted
by the statute. Judge Cox took the
matter under advisement, and de-
cided that the witnesses named By
Guiteau, who live more than hundred
miles away from the District. cannot be
paid out Of the witness fund. He said,
however, that there was contingent
fund in the hands Of the Attorney Gen
eral that might be available for this pur-
pose, and he would send a communica-
ton to that officer on the subject. 1t is
said that the Attorney General has, N
previous cases, refused to use the con-
tingent fund Of his department for tie
payment of witnesses for the defense.

David Davis Tied Hand and Foot

The Philadelphia Press (Rep.) says:
cit is the opinion Of certain Democrats
that because the Republicans have made
their bed with David Davis they must lie
in it. Do Democrats expect impossible
tiesi If the Judge gets the nightmare
and begins to toss and pitch. somebody
will have to camp out on the floor"
The St. Louis Republican (Dem.)
takes pretty much the same view of the
case, when it says: Even if Davis hiss
made no direct bargain with the Repub-
licans of the Senate, they have him just
as completely in their power as if he
had. II at any time he puts himself In
a position Of antagonism the Republi-
cans can take him out Of the chair and
seat Anthony, unless Mr.. Davis should
choose to vote against his own removal.
He would be bold man to choose that
plan of keeping himself in the chair, but
only by that could he keep himself there
if the Republicans see fit to move for his
removal. A resolution removing Davis
and making Anthony President of the
Senate could be carried by a majority OF
one if Davis declined to vote, and An
thony once elected, Davis would be
poweIless to unseat him. Davis, there
fore, is the creature of the Republicans,
and must obey their commands or retire
to the floor, to give place TO man who
will submit to the dictation Of the Re
publican caucus"

Two NoBLEMEN.-Thus writes Mary
A. Livermore in the Troy Times:
among the passengers of the steamer
Scythia, on which returned from Eu-
rope, was an EDglish Earl, quiet gen
tleman, in no way remarkable or inter
esting, who comes 10 our country almost
yearly to hunt in the West. The obse-
quious homage of the Captain and off.
GERS of the ship in the presence of the
little great man, and the painful, cring-
ing Difference of the stewards were al
most as disgusting as was the ineffable
Stiffness of one or two American women,
who became Obvious of the commonest
rules of good breeding in their raptures
over a live Earl. There was another
gentleman among the passengers, no
bleman in the highest sense, but unit
tied, and of the people-Samuel Morley,
member of Parliament, q grand man, a
philanthropist, finding his happiness in
work for the race. His charities are IN
bounded, his contributions to the tenn
perance work Of England alone amount
ing in some years TO $25, 000 But while
officers and stewards gave to him, as to
all passengers, the most courteous atteu-
ton, there was in their manner an utter
lack of the fawning and selfeffacement
so conspicuous in their behavior toward
the Earl. One was an hereditary noble
man by birth-the other, every inch a
nobleman, without a title-and this made
the difference.

THE EXPENDITURES INCURRED IN THE
PRESIDENTS ILLNESS AND BURIAL =
According to an estimate made by the
Indianapolis Sentinel the illness and
burial of the late President involved an
expenditure OF about $347, 900. OF that
sum $247,0O were spent at Cleveland
and 800, 900 during the patients strug-
gle for life. Mr.. Garfeld's private sec
rotary, Mr. Brown. kept the run Of
things until the fatal termination. He
says that the doctors bills probably will
prove to be $50, 900, and that the average
daily expenses Appropriated 1850.
The sick-bed expenses, as Mr.. Brown
thinks, will be borne by Congress, and
there seems TO be a settled conclusion
that the $247, 900 incurred at Cleveland
are to come out Of the Ohio State treas
ury and the Cleveland people. The
decorations in Cleveland cost $103, 900,
the accommodations 800, 900, the arches
5000, the catafalque $4,000, the music
&, 900, and so on. The transportation
of the remains from Elberon to Ohio
was the work Of the Pennsylvania Com
pany, which, it is understood, will make
no charge. Accompanying the estimate
Of the sick bed and funeral expenses is
statement that Mrs Garfield is likely to
receive pension of at least $1,000
year, which will make her income about
SIS, 900.

ExuOrts and Imports.

The statement Of imports and exports
of the United States for the month OF
July, 1881. corrected to September 10,
1881, shows the total import to have
been of value of So, 376. 062, against
$57, 3O4, 9s2 during the same month in
1880. The imports during the seven
months ended July 81, 1881, were of
value of $379, 793, 732, against $4Ss, $685.
200 in the same period last year. 1t is
noteworthy that the values brought In
American vessels were in amount $780,
5S5, O11 during the seven months named,
while foreign vessels brought values
amounting to 1882, GAL ole. The ex-
ports of domestic merchandise IN
July were of value of $62, 032, s37,
against SIC, 036, 9S9 for the same month
last year, and for the seven months
ended July 81, 1881, S476, All All,
against $476, O53, Gil in the like period
of 1880. No less than $4O9, 751, 104 of
values were sent away in foreign bot
toms, while American vessels transport
ed but $62, gu $40 of values. The moral
OF these figures last cited is, of course,
the common doctrine that materials for
making ships, iron with the rest, should
not have tariff on it so high that ton
of it costs more to an American ship
builder or blacksmith than to an Eng
lish one. Our exports maintain them
selves steadily, while imports show
slight falling off during July of this
year as compared with July, 1880, but
for the longer period the falling OF is
quite considerable.
The advance statement of the exports
of domestic breadstuffs from the sixteen
principal points of export during Sep
TENDER last exhibits continuance OF
the decline in the outgo Of articles OF
the class named, due. Of course, in part
to the diminished crops Of the United
States, in part to the increased prOduc-
ton of Russian grain. The value OF
breadstuffs exported in September, 1881,
was $19, 947, IA, against $23, S83, 055 for
the same period in 1880, For the nine
months ended September so. 1881,
the value of such export was $1T7, 49,
349, against $209, 2O4,277 in the like
period ended September 80, 1880. Balti-
more passes from the second place, held
in 1880, to the third place in the list OF
exporting cities, San Francisco taking
precedence of her. New York leads
with total value of breadstuffs exported
in September of 50, COS, 4s8, falling off
of s., 900, 900 from last year. San Fran
cisco follows with total of s.. 232. SOP,
against 81, 424, 422 in September of last
year. Baltimore comes next, with an
export valued at 50, $50, 651, against
$3.542, 712 last year, while Philadelphia
and Boston, with exports respectively of
8, 293, $50 and 1907, $50, against 81,
927, O6S and 81 1924, AGA in 1880, seem to
hold their own pretty well.
