About nn Extra Session.

Chicago, March 2l.-Tribune Wash
ington special: The president has GER
tainly not decided on an extra session.
The opposition is much stronger than
was believed and he is very anxious not
to make n mistake in the matter. Robe
son, Keefer and others have represented
to him that it would be very impolitic.
They say the entire amount of outstand-
ing six per cents can be paid before next
December with the surplus revenues and
a portion of the cash now in the treasury,
and that it would be better to reduce the
interest charge by redeeming two hun
dred millions, or even one hundred and
fifty millions of these high rate bonds,
than to disturb business and put the
country to the expense Of an extra ses-
sion. The treasury estimates the surplus
revenues Tor ten months of the calendar
year at one hundred millions. and should
this be realized, without doubt the Sec
retary could redeem and cancel one hun
dred and fifty millions of outstanding
SKIES before January lst. This saving
would equal what any measure passed
by an extra session would effect. The
republican party would, moreover,
be held responsible for any
imperfect refunding bill, and would suf-
fer damage in consequence Of the
treasury officials following the computa-
ton. The four and a half per cent bonds
sold at a price slightly more favorable
for The four and four and one halls are
respectively 1888 and ll1.3i. Compu-
tatlons based on these net prices show
the rate of interest to yield to the inves-
tor three per cent, and carried to matu-
rity at 329 and $50 per cent per annum
respectively, and thus shows that part
from the desirableness OF as short option
of redeemable time rs possible the
tour and one half per cents. are slightly
more advantageous to the government.
In point Of annual interest cost it is
probable one hundred millions of dollars
of AZ per cents could now be sold fol
Sill 4 and Sl.l11a and accrued interest
AT such prices as that the cost to the
government would be less than 3ls pei
cent. per annum; in other words, it would
be equal to placing loan at that rate.

RAILROAD NEWS,

Cincinnati Commercial, 22d: Col John
G.. Scott, of the Oakdale Iron Company, was
here yesterday. The company taps the
Cincinnati Southern 259 miles out, and
thence runs a narrow-gauge to their furnace.
They are now extending their road to the
Poplar Creek or Winter Gap coal regions
the finest in the South. It is among the
immediate possibilities, to put it no stronger,
that this road will be changed to a standard
gauge, and extending to Knoxville. Stand
from under.
The Tennessee and Sequatchee Valley
Railroad Company have taken an Office in
the Albany building, room 2, second floor
where Mr.. D. n. Comingore, Auditor of the
Company, may be found in charge. The
Tullahoma & Sequatchee Valley Railroad is
the new narrow gauge running west from
Swaggerty's Cove, into the lands of the Wal
den Ridge Coal and Iron Company, and the
lumber regionssof the E. D. Albrc
Company and east to the Tennessee River
The road-bed will be ready for the iron by
the first of next month, and it is expected
that trains will be running by the middle
of October This promises to be a very
important and profitable feeder for the C. S.
Railroad, and can be made to furnish
enough coal to Cincinnati to prevent any
very great death of the necessary commodi-
ty in the winter time. The officers of the
road are: E. D. Albro, president D. N.

Weather Representations.
American Cultiyator.

Many so-cslled weather prophets make
numberless guesses, the public frequently
applauding those which happen TO prove
correct, while generously forgivipg the
much larger percentage of errors. Ihe
following described colors of the sky, at
different times, are wonderful guidance,
as many an observing farmer knows from
experience. Such observations, and others
of similar nature, confirmed by daily ex-
perience of farmers and mariners, are
better and safer to follow than the prog
nosiications of the weather by any profess
sor who foretells rainy or windy day
twelve months in the future. A clear SUM
set not only indicates fair weather, but
there are other tints which speak with
clearness and accuracy. A bright yellow
sky in the evening indicates wind; pale
yellow, wet; q neutral gray tint, in the
morning. dry, calm day; in the even
ing, very unfav"rable weather. The
clouds are also full of meaning. and are
in themselves many times very safe guides.
If they are soft, underlined and feathery,
the weather will be fne; if the edges are
hard. sharp and definite, it will be rainy
and windy. As q general thing, deep, un
usual hues betoken rain and wind; while
more moderate tints bespeak fair weather
If dense, cloudy sky suddenly clears up
ia the North or Northwest at sunset, it in
dicates wind from the direction of the clear
space. A luminous CIRCLE. known as q
halo, around the sun or moon, caused by
the reflection of light through crystals of
ice in the atmosphere, foreshadows storm
wind, rain. or snow. When the atmos>
phere is dense and in condition to convey
ordinary sounds long distances, foul
weather is sure TO follow.

The Cabbage Worm.

If you have thousand remedies against
the cabage worm, prepare to use them all,
for never bsfore have We seel the butter
flies OF this worm SO abundant as t this
time. Already the WORMS have commen ced
eating the young plants or winter cabb ges,
which have just been set oct, and they are
SO numerous that leaf after leaf is reduced
to skeleton in q few hours These worms
get into the heart of the cabbage even be-
fore any head is formed, ami thus will
thew ruin the crop.
The first remedy is to hsnd-pics each
and every worm, big and little, and drown
them ail in a can of hot water. This is the
most efficient way, and We know tba. in
former years persons have made good
crops by picking off the worms by hand,
when other crops in the neigh borhcod that
were not worm picked was totally de-
stroyed. The present insect is probably
the foreign cabbage worm. 1t is a pale
green, hairy looking thing, growing from
small beginning to be about an inch long
and IS thick around as crows quill. 1t
can be easily found by the extremely large
quantity of excrement it discharges and
which lodges in the forks of the Leaf stems
The butterfly that lays the eggs that pro-
duce these worms has four wings, one pair
on each side, about an inch long each way,
| and is of a pale straw color or dull white,
VIA cioSe sfOss dNu u unl N lluRS NJ lu6
end of each wing. They fly low down and
| fit along the clover and grass, frequently
| stopping and then hutterng away again.
1t flies all day long, and seems to delight
| in the bright rays of hot sun.
| After handspicking the worms. then with
garden watering>can thoroughly sprinkle
the eahbage with boiling hot water This
is, if the water ls boiling when poured into
a bucket and then poured into watering
1 Nj
| through the rose or sprinkler in fine Jets, it
will be sufficiently cool down AS not to
iujure the cabbage plants, and still be not
enough to kill all the worms the water
may reach. After this operation, weak
| solution of salt, say q tablespoonful to each
gallon of water, should be used daily and
while the leaves are still wet, dust t. EN-
with wood ashes and air-slaked lime, mix
ed dry in equal parts.
| These are some of the remedies recom>
mended and none Of these are poisonous
Of course on Al article of human food like
cabbages, such poisons as Paris green,
London purple, white helebore, Sc. can,
not be used at all. A small quantity OF
flowers of sulphur could be mixed in with
the ashes and lime. say tablespoonful tC
each gallon of the dust. and some persons
recon- rend the sprnkling of strong pine
tar-water as being offensive to the butter
flies, and the efore preventing them from
laying their eggs on the leaves where the
odor of tar or sulphur remained.
| Entomologists further advise chasing
the butteIfie and capturing them with
nets on sticks. Every butterfly destroyed
may be equal to killing fifty or hundred
worms Pyrethrum is said to kill the
worms and not be Otherwise injurious, but
where can the pyrethrum be found p
