"SiIk Cnltnre i'm tha Sonth.r

Ne are glad to see that the editorial
srt:cle on the above subject, which re
Gently appeared in these columns, has
attracted considerable attention to this
matter. a few days since. it viii be
remembered, we received and published
a letter from Poor Richard, giving a
good deal Of practical and interesting
information on the subject, and that has
called forth another, which we publish
this morning. from the pen Of Mr.. Bar
ton Hill, who, as will be seen, had in
his younger days considerable expe-
rience in the cultivation of the silk
worm and the manipulation Of the CO.
coOns.
The great advantage which attends
the production Of silk, in this section es-
pecially, where the climate is so well
suited for that purpose. is the little ex-
pense and trouble consequent thereon,
and the great remuneration which efforts
in that direction promise. As We stated
in the former article alluded to, the null
berry tree, the leaves of which fur
nish food for the worms, -four
ishes in this latitude, and can
readily be cultivated in any waste patch
of ground near the residence of any of
our farmers, while the attention neces-
sary to be bestowed on the feeding of the
worms, the gathering and sitting the
cocoons, and the production of the raw
silk, can be given entirely By the ladies
of the household. In this way silk cul-
ture would not only not interfere with
the usual labor of the farms, but would
afford profitable recreation and amuse-
ment to the wives and daughters of the
farmers.
We hope soon to hear that some of
our farmer readers have determined to
give this matter of silk culture q practi-
cal trial. II can so easily be done, and
can be made a success with so little
trouble and expense that it would be a
plly EOE EllOIl5 " StGuI6 luC Dcu6-
fits to be derived therefrom not
to be made. The figures which
we published in our previous article
show that the consumption Of raw silk
in the United States mounts to many
thousands of dollars annually, while the
sums sent abroad from this country an
nually for the purchase of silk goods
amount in the aggregate to millions.
There is no reason why this money, or a
portion of it, should not find its way to
this section of country and help to enrich
our people instead of the silk manu-
facturers of Europe. Besides this, also,
if our farmers can be induced to turn
their attention to this industry, and
make silk culture q success, it will
always afford them something to fall
back upon when cotton turns out badly,
OF the price of the staple is too low, or
labor is so scarce and high as to prevent
the crop from being remuneratively
cultivated.

BOLD BLACKMAlLERS.
One of Them Shot Dead by a New
York Detective.

In New York on Thursday afternoon
Edward Herman Johannes Sogert, a
Pole, thirty-two years of age, was shot
dead by Detective Campbell. Sogert
was a principal in a blackmailing
scheme almost without a parallel in the
criminal annals of this country. The
circumstance which led to the shoot
ing cover a period of four months
when the plot was first revealed.
The intended victim, Mr.. Lewis
Strasburger, is a jeweler of Maiden
Lane. a gentleman of considerable
wealth, and resides with his partner in
Sixty first street. He has a family of
four children, the youngest a girl named
Rosa, eleven years of age. An attempt
wal made on December "a, by means of
an anonymous letter, to obtain $50, 900.
This failed. Then IN attempt was made
on March 81 to abduct the child Rosa,
which also failed. and the detectives
were then put on the case. Numerous
letters were received by Mr.. Strasburger,
but the detectives were unable to find
u the authors of the letters until We'd
nesday night, when a clue was obtained.
A detective went to the house of Mr..
Strasburger and remained until II 80
Thursday. At that hour a boy
rang the door-bell and handed
the servant a letter, which
proved to be directions for Miss Spelton,
a governeSs, to go, unaccompanied, with
a large sum of money in an envelope to
Central Park, where a pistol would be
fired as a signal for her to drop it. and
pass on without looking round. Camp
bell ordered the governess to follow the
directions. He then passed out the back
way aud watched the proceedings. He
saw two men standing on the corner.
The g%overness passed on, a pistol shot
was heard, when she dropped the en-
velope, and one of the men started toward
the envelope, and the detective followed
to catch him as be picked it up. The man
suspected something, turned suddenly,
thrust his hand behind, as if TO draw a
pistol, at the same time exclaiming:
You -. if you come near me I'll kill
you" Campbell rushed upon the fellow
and collared him, at the same time draw
ing a pistol. The man (Sogert) struck
the detectives pistol, there was an ex-
plosion, and the revolver ball went crash
ing through Sogert's brain. A revolver,
and letters written IN the same hand as
those Strasburger had received, were
found on the corpse. The Coroner held
an inquest and discharged the detective.
Solomon Cohen and Albert +. Vogel
were arrested as Sogerts accompllces,
and Vogel confessed.

One Use of Cold Weather.

The National Board of Health is per-
fecting its arrangements for preventing
the entrance of yellow fever into this
country. The yellow fever now exists
in Havana and Vera Cruz, but it is not
an epidemic. There is yellow fever in
those countries all the year round. 1t
is believed that the excessive cold of
the past winter has, destroyed all the
germs of the disease, if there were any
remaining in this country. There is no
apprehension that the disease. will break
out in this country this year. There
was none last year and the vigor of the
past winter is favorable against its break
ing out this summer. The only danger
is that it will be brought into the coun-
try. To guard against this, the stations
which have heretofore been established
at Norfolk, Charleston, on the coast of
Georgia and at the entrance of the Mis-
sissippi river will be kept up. The
quarantine regulations at New York
harbor afford a sufficient protection to
the northern portion of the coast.

They are putting glucose in the beer
now in New York instead of malt, and
it is doing far more harm han it could
possibly do in sugar. In the German
sections of New York, where the men
drink fifty glasses of beer a day, they
will accumulate enough glucose in a
year to kill them. The matter has been
called to the attention of the New York
Legislature, and some very energetic
steps will be taken to stop this adultera-
ton. Every brewer using glucose in
the manufacture of his beer must adver-
tise this fact, and all kegs of this adul-
terated beer must have the warning
word glucose" pasted on it in large
capital letters. This little adulteration
scheme viii. therefore, probably die IN
early death.

The Business Before the Senate.

The President up to Thursday had
sent to the Senate in all 300 nominations,
of which number about % were acted
upon before the deadlock began, leav-
ing in the neighborhood of 265 which
lie unopened on the Vice Presidents
table. In addition to the executive bust
ness which the Senate could attend to
there are five treaties pending, which
can only be considered in executive ses-
sion. From the gath of March to the
present time the Democrats have
made thlrty-seven unsuccessful eff
forts to proceed to the con-
sideration of executive business.
If the Senate fails to perform the leg
islation necessary to inaugurate the new
administration, for which the special ses-
sion was called by the President, it will
not be the fault of the Democrats. The
American people will not fail to lay the
blame where it belongs.

AN EXTRA SESSION ScARE.-In the
hope of having some effect on
the Democratic Senators, interested par
ties are circulating with great industry
statements that if the present contest in
the Senate is prolonged much longer the
President will call an extra session OF
Congress. A Washington dispatch says;
1.-THE Democrats care nothing about
this; that it isnot their party which can
suffer by an extra session of Congress,
and if the Republicans want one they
have not the least objection"

In response to Senator Conkling's
alleged appeal to Southern Democratic
Senators for aid to defeat the Robertson
nomination, he is SAID to have been told
by not a few of them that, as between
him and the President, or as between
him and Mr.. Blaine even, they owe him
nothing. He has also had it intimated
to him in plain terms that his fierce
philippe against the South at the com
mencement of the Presidential campaign
is too recent to be forgotten. This is an
excellent way of meeting such section
alists as Mr. Conkling. Blinded by
selfshness, they see nothing to keep
them from attacking all Southern Demo
Gratis as TRAITORS" in election years, and
forming alliances with them in ''of
years" Mr. COnkling and his kind
should be taught their mistake, and the
Robertson nomination furnishes an op-
portunity for an opening lesson.

PATRIOTISM LAGGNG.-The scheme
for the erection Of a statue of General
Washington IN front of the sub-treasury
in New York seems to drag. Mr.. Royal
Phelps, one Of the leading spirits in the
matter, on Wednesday carried
out his announced intention
of proposing that the plan be aban-
doned. But it was finally decided to
call upon the public for subscriptions.
Nearly one-half of the amount needed
$50. O0O-has been subscribed, but
recently subscriptions have come in very

many newspapers for short sessions OF
Congress, and Of their habitEsl charac-
t~erizations Of the meetings of Congress
as q public misfortune, and Of its ad-
iournment as a national blessing, the
New York Sun Ind says: What these

potism. What they are tired of is free
government under the Constitution OF
the fathers. The men who conduct them
and the men who read them with ap-
proval must be imperialists at heart"

Getting Tired Of the Exodus Ele-
miami.

Governor st. John, of Kansas, who
once desired to be known as ''the Moses
of the modern exodus" of Southern ne
groes into that State, has, it seems, now
got enough of them. A letter from
Elizabeth L. Comstock, the manager
of the headquarters for help to the
refugees" at Topeka, incloses a circular.
This circular, without exactly intending
ii, discloses the fact that the enormous
crowd of thousands of idle and shiftless
negroes, settling down upon Topeka and
living wholly on charity, has proved too
much for the further endurance even of
the encourages of this wretched move
ment, to say nothing of the people of
Topeka. The Governor has advised that
the headquarters" to be broken up and
shifted to some part of the State, in or
der to force these idle negroes to scatter
over the State and find work. They have
been living on charity, from New Eng
land and elsewhere, for a long time. 1t
is to be borne in mind that they were
encouraged to leave their Southern
homes, and were led off into this
wretched "exodus" to Kansas, when they
we're wanted at home in the South. and
would have been comfortably off and
fairly paid there. 1t was done by secret
political agencies, with a view to cut
down the population of the Southern
States, in order to diminish their number
of representatives in Congress at a time
when no other method Of changing a
Democratic majority seemed 10 show
itself. But the effects have been bad for
the poor negroes. They have not found
Kansas the paradise they expected, but
many of them are content to remain
there so long as the Kansas people, or
those of New England, will provide
them with food and clothing.

Capt. Copeland. of New York. ought
to worship the cat as the Romans of old
honored the goose. Every school-boy
remembers the story of how the capital
was saved by the noise made by geese
as the Gauls were scaling its walls. Capt.
Copeland was aroused, some nights since,
by the horrible noise some cats were
making on his roof. 1t was impossible
to sleep. and, after exhausting his boot
jacks, he finally aroused himself and
assembled the stairs to drive off the in
vaders. He had the pleasure of meeting
a company of burglars. who fed in dis
may, leaving behind them all their tools
and a rich array of stolen property. He
saved nearly 81. ZOO, thanks to the cats.

The British Government is making a
mistake in warning upon Irish papers
published in the United States. The
New York Irish World is not to be al

difficult to prevent it, and no good can
come from a wal upon the rights of a
free press. The government confesses
weakness and apprehension by such a
course. The Irish World will make by
the suppression in the end.

The apparatus for generating the steam
is an ordinary nursery lamp, holding
half a pint of the Medicated Fluid with
a tube at the top to direct the Medicated
Steam upon any point infested with in
sects. 1t is heated with a small spirit
lamp beneath the boiler. For Dwellings,
Hotels, Steam Ships, Restaurants, ETC.,
nothing we discovered equals this APP
pliance. II is harmless to human life;
is inexpensive and simple in its use.
While a most potent mean for destroy
ing vermin, it is the best disinfectant
known and may be most efectually used
to prevent the spread Of contagious dis
eases, such as Yellow Fever, Scarlet
Fever, Typhoid Fever, Diptheria, Small

the great advantages of this over all
other appliances. For sale by Druggists
