the Influence of Population Statistics Upon

IN THE COMMONS.
In the Commons this afternoon Playfair,
chairman of the committee and deputy
| speaker of the House, most emphatically
| denied that he sent a message to Capt. Nolan,
at the time of the suspension of the Irish
members last session, threatening him with
suspension, as stated by Capt. Nolan last
night during discussion. He had not heard
of the matter until it was mentioned last
night. There was not one shred OF founda-
ton for the statement. Capt. Nolan main
tanned that the third clerk of the House
conveyed the M ,ssage to him, but when
questioned by Gladstone said it was not
communicated as coming from the chair.
Lord Randolph Churchill placed on the
| paper fresh batch of amendments to the
procedure rules. Otherwise, the opposition to
the remaining rules will be nominal. In the
discussion of the ninth procedure resolu-
ton, Gladstone made further concession TO
the effect that collective suspension should
| only be applied in cases of wIllful disregard
| of the authority of the chair. The rule was
| adopted-161 10 10. The limit of the terms
4 of suspension for offenses after and including
the third was liked at one month.

WASHINGTON, November 22.-MelviIle

done.
At the afternoon session OF the Jeanette

DR.. Collins, brother OF j. J. Collins, scientist,
OF the Jeanette party, were read, but mes
Of them were ruled out, and in answer to
one regarding his (MeIville's) orders in

him what should be done with a cross
on C)llins's neck, aud he replied that while
he supposed his family would like 10 have

ligioD, and that it would be better TO have il
buried with him. He did not state, except
bv implication, whether or not he used the
offensive language ascribsd TO him by DIR.
Collins but Nindermsu, to whom the orders
were given, states positively that he did not.
Melville, in cross-examiaatiep, was asked If
he had ever given orders to bring Danen-

that he had never given any such orders,
having had no reason for doing so, but
should have had no nesitapcy in giving
them had the necessity arisen He said
Ddnenhower came and went pretty much at
will, but he had no occasion to give orders
affecting his personal liberty.

Wurrums.

The voracity and number of cut
worms in this section, this season, sur
passeth all understanding, and SO far
no antidote has been discovered that
will effectually destroy them, they not
being of a kind upon which vermifuge
has influence.
Dealers in this city report that they
have sold more London blue and Paris
green during the past few weeks than
they had disposed Of in five years
before. Properly used. this will save
cotton plants and garden vegetation,
but it don't do to put it on lettuce,
cabbage and similar products, because
it would be apt to make humans early
food for worms, and it would be better
to let the worms feed on the plant
stuff.
A man of this city who delves in
the swamps on the.opposite side, tells
some marvellous stories regarding
recent feats Of the cut worm tribe, and
he vouchss for their accuracy. He
says that while watching an army of
the pests at work in his field, an / try

one strike good sized cotton plant,
gnaw it off close to.the ground, and
actually back into his hole in the earth,
pulling the entire plant in after him,
making meal of the plant at his
leisure.
This feat set him to thinking and
Watching worse than,before, and sub
sequently he noticed a large sized
worm crawl along, and overtake fell
low worm smaller than himself. He
expected the big fellow would pass by
the little fellow without notice, but
notlso. The yoracion monster actually
set to work to eat up his diminuitive
comrade, and when he had completed
the job he crept on, apparently in
search Of other worms to satisfy his
appetite.
The same planter relates that plenty

as if they were cetton threads. He
then broke Chastaine's hold and
