BRIEF FOREIGN SEUS.

Parnell wrote James Mooney, president
of the National Land League of America,
informing him that if the commons refused
a second reading of the land bill which be
will move on the 18th inst, and if there is
no prospect ofturther legislation for Ireland
during the present session of parliament, he
would forthwith proceed to the United States
to attend the proposed convention in Phlla-
delphia.
Another arrest in connection with the
murder conspiracy, recently disclosed at
Dubuque has been made at Tullagore 1t

the latter to America. The in. ention is to
give full account of the Irish in America

league have been disposed of.
A Dublin dispatch to the Times says: The
police have abundant evidence to prove that

passed.
David DAVIS resigned the presidency pro
tempore of the senate, and Mr. Edmunds
was elected and took the oath as hissuccess-

marks.
Mr.. Mcmillan, from the committee on
commerce made a report on the river and
harbor bill, stating that owing to want of
time to examine and consider properly nu-
merous items in the bill, they did not feel
justified in recommending passage. On the
other hand, in view of the great importance
of the annual appropriations for the i'm
provement of the waterways of the country
as protection against the oppressive exac-
tons of railroad companies the committee
did not feel justified in retaining the bill in
their possession and thus preventing action
by thesenate, andtherefore reportedIback for
such action as the senate might deem proper.
The bill was then killed by being
tabled for the day. on motion OF Mr.. ingalls,.

Who Mrs, Butler Was,

Mrs. Butler came here as Miss Fan
ME Kemble during the winter of1S32-
accompanying her father, Mr.. Charles
kemble. She was then in the fresh
dawD. of womanhood and the first flush of
genius, heralded by praises from Sir
Walter Scott and Professor Wilson; and
she received the first night, without any
previous arrangements, such an ovation
as perhaps was never accorded to any
artist before or since. In one box were
he judges of the supreme court, with
another was Mrs. Madison, attended by
while the house was filed with the elite
of all that were distinguished in litera-
ture, arts, politics, and general society
of that dav. The name of Kemble re-
vived to that illusSrious assemblage the
heroic age Of the drama; and nobly did
the father and daughter sustain the rep
utation of their lineage.

Tobacco and Blindness.

Whatever the race may have been
once, it is not now physiologically per-
feet. The diseases, ailments, and NOR
bid tendencies of men of the present
day. are the accumulated results of the
bad hygienic influences, that have flowed
in upon the race in all past time. Each
human being is now born with one or
more weak points, at which he is most
likely to break down, and hence is diff
ferentIy affected by the same expos
ure.
Now, it is not often that man knows
what his weak points are, and therefore
it behooves him to observe, as far as
possible, every law of hygiene, and not
allow himself to tamper with agents OF
possible harm, because thousands of
other men have apparently used these
agents with impunity.
AS to these tn ousands who have. ap-
parently escaped injury, the case is not
by any means closed with them, and as
for the man who is tempted to do as
they have done, the harmful agent may
make for his weakest point with all the
certainty of fate Who would be foolish
enough to use tobacco, if he knew that
in time blindness would be the result?
But see what.Prof. Reynolds said in an
address to class ofmedical graduates
"It is q well-known fact that tobacco
poisons the nerve centres of majority
of the male members of the human fam
lily. Careful investigations have led to
the discovery, that smoking produces
the so-called amblyobia-dimness of
vision. This form of ambiyobia is pre-
cisely Identical in all respects, with that

who are practically blind from an ex-
cessive use of tobacco."-Youth's Com

Hot Water For Insects.

1t has been many years ago since we
first employed hot water for killing de-
structive insects, but never with the &C
curacy of the experiments described in
late number of the Gardeners Maya
zine of London. A large number of ex=
periments were made with different
plants to determine what degree of heat
they would bear without injury. Among
the plants which would bear 40 degrees
without being harmed, but which dums,
ftlschies, calceolarias, petunias, ferns,
and several others. 1t was curious that
all the plants tested would bear nearly
the same degree of heat with scarcely
any variation. Pelargoniums were un.
hurt up to 80 degrees. but the slightest
rise above killed the young wood and
leaves. 1t is probable that the same re-
suit would take place with hardy plants,
and the green shoots and leaves of trees.
The question next occurs, what inseC s
will yield to this temperature or to some
degrees lower? This information is not
furnished by the Gardner's Magazine,
except that aphides quickly perish in
water heated to 100 degrees. The prac-
tice has been adopted by nursery men
for clearing their young pear, cherry
and other trees in the nursery IL VS. of
the abhides which have infested them
by bending the branches which they
covered SO as to imm-rse them in soap
suds, which has proved effectual; but
doubtless better way would be to use
hot water, the temperature of which
could be kept at the right point by the
use of thermometer, and by OCCASION
al additions from vessel Kept heated
by boiling.
A useful series of experiments, easily
performed, would be to ascertain what
insects would yield to this hot bath,
which might be tried on rose bugs,
sluss, currant worms, or any others
which feed on or occupy the green and
dexible shoots Of plants and trees. A
most important advantage of this mode
is that it leaves no defacing or hurtful
poison on the plants.
In the experiments which we have
performed for many years in destroying
the cabbage worm with hot water, the
precise temperature could not be deter.
mined by using the thermometer, as the
plants could not be immersed, but must
be treated by showering from watering
pot. This required some care and judg-
ment, and was not therefore 80 we'll
adapted to general use. The water was
to be kept quite hot in the vessel, as it
was necessarily considerably cooled in
the fine jets through the air from the
nose, and when too hot the application
must be for brief moment than when
the temperature is lower. It is worth
while to ascertain how low point will
be fatal to them, and then to fill the
watering pot with water a few degrees
higher, and apply it promptly and free.
ly, keeping thermometer on hand as
guide. A certain AMI successful applica-
ton of this remedy. easily performed,
would be of great value to the cabbage
raising and cabbage eating community.

The Grape Cure.

The ancients understood the value of
the grape as cure for many diseases,
acting strongly upon the kidneys, help
ing digestion, and being successful in re-
storing to. health and strength those who
are weak and emaciated. No one can
stats, the quantity or method of using,
from three to ten pounds being used ac-
cerding to the age and constitution ofthe
patient. They are generally divided
into three or four portions; taken at reg
ular intervals through the day. The
skins and seeds are rejected, and the
grapes must be fully ripe, even then often
acting injuriously upon the teeth if they
have symptoms of decay. There are
many places in Europe where the grape
cure" is practised, but particularly in
Switzerland. The quality of the fruit
depends upon the character of the soil.
A dry soil produces fruit containing
much sugar and little acid; moist soil
generates acid, albumen and mucilage,
but very little sugar. The degree oil
maturity has also an influence on the
composition of the fruit. Grape juice is
richer in phosphoric acid ana potassa
than are most mineral waters. There Ii
great difference of opinion regarding
the value of this fruit among physicians
some regard it as soothing, laxative and
diuretic. others give special emphasis to

FIELD AND FARM.
Agricultural Items.

Nine-tenths of our fixed capital Is said
to be invested in agricultural pursuits,
and vet no other interest is so slsall as
not to receive as much, or more atten'
ton from our legislators.
When cows take fancy to eat wood,
lick earth or chew bones, 1t is an indlca-
ton that they are suffering from indiges,.
zion. Give each cow O pint OF llnseed
oil or a pound of melted lard, and after
that bran slop for few days, and they
will probably leave OF eating WOOD or
other rubbish. Err
A western farmer who tried wheat
bran as manure for wheat, reports that
IL effect of an application of one ton OF
bran to the acre was equal to that OBJ
tanned from the usual application OF a
mixture of bone dust, guano, lime and
wood ashes, and difference in yield OF
the crops that received bran as COM
pared with those not so treated was
very great.
A judicious system of mixed husband
ry, made up of dairy, stock raising, graz
ing, hay making and fruits carefully fol-
lowed, will seldom fail in the most dis
astrous year we are apt to have, in re-
turning to the producer handsome in
come. Taking the present season and
the last one as examples of the most un-
favorable kind, the whole disaster, in
both cases, has fallen entirely on the
corn crop, while the dairy, st ok grow

ry that can be named, have all been
prosperous.-E. Ii. Calkins.

Scarcity of Old Ladies.

There are. few old ladies N the fashion
able world nowadays, and there need
not be any. Women triumphantly pass
for thirty-fye who have recently kept
in commemoration their fiftieth birth
day. True there are always a few
friends. with inconvenient memories
who could mention the exact date of
which the thirty five-year-old bicenten-
arian first opened her eyes to the light;
and then there is the ,ecord in the old
family bible. But, fortunately, the first
dare not tell lest question be raised as
to their own age; and as for the old fash
toned book like many other old fash
toned things, it is not priced as an an
tioue, and therefore does not adorn the
drawing room table or betray them. :,

which she has continued to hold ever
