which Mr.. Duer spoke with so much eloq1ence, was
an unequaed ovation He passed some days at my
fathers In Boston. He was very different looking
person from the one had expected to see, he was
short, stout. aud dressed in tight SUIT OF Dlack
with wig but bis beautiful eyes and delightful
smile and his expression Of benevolence aud sweet
ness gave prevailing charm.
The meeting between him and Mr. Newton Stuart

embraced and kissed like Frenchmen, and almost
shed tears. Mr.. Irving was shy and quiet, az be-

talked and laughed over old scenes and events with
Wit, hnmor and pathOs talked OF Peter washing,
toms older brother, Jekyll, Powell, and other old
friends and am fortunate in being able to recall
such n morning.
In 1S49, when dining with us in New,York, Mr..

crowd looked with breathless interest but as the

THE PRESENT MORMON ORGANIZATION,

Church is foreign kingdom, hostile in all its fea

upon foreigners and tho children Of foreigners for

Marbles.

The so-called wornils, alias MARBLES,
or grubs, are caused by species of CAD
fly depositing its eggs beneath the skin
along the back of the COW during the
summer. It is q fly similar to the large
horse-fy which causes the so.called bots
in horses. Every herder or farmer has
seen these flies lowering about his cattle
in the pastures during the months from
June to September, and has witnessed
the amount of uneasiness caused by
them. Who has not seen the cattle, es-
pecially on sultry days, after moment
Of apparent attentive listening, all at
once take to trotting, increasing the trOt
to furious gallop, with the tail erect or
curled over the back, and the animals
believing and scattering in all direc-
tions? This is the time when the CAD
fly. peculiar to the OK, deposits its eggs,
after penetrating the skin of the animal.
Even the humming sound of the ap-
preaching fly is sufficient to cause the
animals to scamper and seek refuge in
the nearest pool or stream of water.
Gradually, as the larvae develop, swell
ings or tumors appear. having small
orifice in the center. When present in
large numbers they cause considerable
irritation Of the skin, but generally do
not interfere with the general health or
condition of the animal. After the Larvae
have departed from their abode during
the spring months, they burrow into the
ground, where, after undergoing certain
transformation, they ultimately appear
as full-fedged gad-fles, which will next
proceed to preserve the existence of their
species in the same manner as their
progenitors did. The larvn may be IL
moved from the skin of cattle BY squeez-
ing them out through the central Orifice
of the tumors. Whm many are present
on the animal they should not be re-
moved all at once, because the operation
Is not only painful, but may cause con.
siderable degree of irritation and inaam-
nation of the skin. After removal, no
further treatment will be necessary
