Insects.

The cut-worm moth is one Of the in.
sects attracted to lamps, or candles, or
gas-burners during warm evenings ia
July and August.
The curculio has not many parasitic
enemies, but one of them is the ichneu-
mon fly. Unfortunately this fly is not
as numerous as / desirable.
To fight tent caterpillars in the spring.
begin at the first moment of seeing
them. Their nests are small then and
are easily destroyed. Some apple grow
ers crush the nests in their hands,
which is effectual but disagreeable.
Generally stick with sort of fork on
the end is preferable.
The most dangerous insect to farm
crops is the wheat midge. Late sowing
OF wheat is sometimes remedy, though
this has its disadvantages. All insects
found in cleaning wheat should be des.
troyed at once, and wheat stubbles
plowed Immediately will be likely to
destroy all those wound up in cocoons
upon the ground.
The gum on the bark of fruit trees.
particularly on peach trees, comes from
wounds. If there is some, or a great
deal near the collar the place where
the tree enters the earth,) you can un.
derstand there are borers at work.
Haul the earth away to the depth of
two or three inches, scrape the collar
clean, and then wait a day or two. III

Very Old Hens Eggs.

At st. Eloi, in the Faubourg st. An
tOine in France, a ne3tful of eggs was
found under the ruins of the old palace
where King Dagobert lived. 50 they
knew that 1900 years before, some hen
had stolen her nest, just as our hens
do nowadays, and had been disturbed
and left the nest before the eggs had
been set upon. The workmen who in
clearing away the ruins tobuild the Old
church that still stands there, had
found the nest, were going to throw
away the eggs, but the Able Denis,
who was then the curate of the parish,
remembering that wheat bad grown
from grains that were found with the
mummies in Egyptian tombs, which
must have been 5000 years old,
thought that there might be life il
these old eggs. He set them under one
of his good motherly old hens, and,
sure enough, in 2l days she came off
the nest with a fine brood of king
Dagobert' chickens, as they have ever
since been called. The breed has been
carefully kept ever since; and the Da-
colbert fowls have soincreased that the
able of the parish has organized a sale
of "King Dagobert" eggs for the bene.

And juries never disagree;
When politicians are content,
And landlords don't collect their rent;
When parties smash all the machines,
And Bottom folks give up their beans;
When naughty children all die young,
And girls are born without tongue;
When ladies don't take time to hop;
And oilice-hOlders never flop:
When preachers cut their sermons short
And all folks TO the church resort;
When back subscribers have all paid,
And editors have fortunes made;
Such happenings will sure pOrtend
This world must sure come to an end.

pOndent, whiting to the Republican from

tin, and Major W. S. Munday, while ex-
ploring the cave recently discovered on
the farm of Colonel James Alexander,
which for the last five years has been the
rendezvous of the James Brothers gang
of outlaws, discovered large fiat rock in
one of the chamber, and thinking that
some of the secrets of the gang
might be hidden away under it removed
it with great difficulty, when to their
utter establishment large cast iron sugar
kettle, filled with specie and Jewels of
various kinds met their view. They
could hardly believe their senses, but
finally managed TO examine the treasure
and found that there was over $400 600
in specie. besides numerous gold watches,
rings and diamonds and other iewelry of
great value Mai Munday guarded the
great treasure while Mr.. Spillers fastened
to Gallatin, and securing his horse aud
wagon returned as soon as possible to the
cave. They placed the kettle and its con
tents in the wagon and drove rapidly to
Gallatin and at once deposited their
treasure in the vaults of the Sumner
Deposit Company. The greatest excite
ment prevails, and the Sumner Guards
have been ordered to the cave to pre-
vent hungry horde of curiosity hunters
and treasure seekers from completely
ransacking it,
This is the second lot Of valuables
found in the cave since the death of Jesse
James. Thousands of visitors have been
denied admission by Colonel Alexander,
and it is only by strenuous efforts that
any portion of its contents are spared
from seekers of mementOes of the great

A considerable portion of the jewelry
is in the original boxes as they left the

sent great many of the former lot to

United States. Further exploration will

valuables may still be hidden in the cave.

Friends of New Zealand are very much
elated over the success Of the experiment
OF sending frozen meat to England in

colony in London says the English people
must regard this first shipment "as only the

tention to the fact that soil aud climate are
favorable to the laying down of lend to per
manent pastures, and therefore to the pre-
duction of meat and dairy produce OF high
quality. Last year this colony had thine
times more land in Englsh grasses than al
Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland AN
South Australia put together" For six
years past, the sowing of these grasses, he
says, has been extended at the rate of 300, OOC

"that New Zealand meat and dairy stuff will
be coming to England, in new refrigerator
chambers, not only in large quantities, but
what is more to the purpose) in exception

NEMESIS.
Immigrants Telling How Their
Children Died and were Bu led
Another Death.
Ne1c York Sun

Nel0 York Sun
Secretary jackson, of the Emigration
Commission, took testimony yesterday
at Wards Island about the treatment Of
immigrants who arrived on May % on
the Royal Netherlands steamship Ne
mesis from Amsterdam r. r. H. toe
Laer, general agent of the steamship
company, was present.
Jean Duhlieg, a Hollander, testified
that he bought passage tickets for the
steamship Castor in March. When he
arrived at Amsterdam with his wife and
four children the Castor had sailed. He
took passage on the Nemesis. The COM
pany found him board and lodging while
he waited. The Nemesis sailed on May
10. He had good quarters aboard ship.
Others had bad quarters Single men
and women were in one apartment. The
meat and bread were generally good.
Fresh meat was given out on the two
first days only of the voyage. The
first six days there was fresh water.
On the seventh day .he and his family
drank salt water Complaint was
made, and thereafter fresh water
distilled from salt water was given
out. 1t was not cold, but was good. All
his children became sick when the ship
was seven days out. A girl, three years
old, died after landing at Castle Garden.
The doctor had seen her often, but had
never prescribed anything. She was put
in the hospital ward after she had been
sick three days. He and others had
seen the doctor drunk while attending to
patients. He thought twelve children
had died on the voyage. Three were
dead when the ship arrived. He under
stood that all but these three had been
buried at sea. The food was not equally
divided. Some received plenty and
some hardly anything. There were
tables enough for only half the pas
sengers. The steward, purser, and doc
tor were all Hollauders.
Egbert Wegter gave similar testimony.
His two children became sick with
throat disorders on May %. He tried to
get the doctor five or six times, but the
doctor never came. The doctor was
often drunk. Both children died at the
hospital here. The witness believed the
water made them sick. The water used
to thin the condensed milk that was
given to the children was bad, and the
children would not drink the mixture.
He believed that thirteen children died
