1t was not long ago that the newspapers were
called upon to print the news of a "sham bat
tle," so called, which was fought with disastrous
effect. And now another human life has been
sacrificed by reckless indulgence in this dan
gerous sort of sport. 1t is the old shameful
Gtory-somcbody did not know that the guns
were loaded 1t would seem wise to put stop
to such sport by law. For until the end of
time there will be fools who never hesitate to
handle firearms without knowing anything
ebout them. A sham battle, no matter how
carefully conducted, Is apt to develop one or

There was rumor last night that Mr.. Par

fortunately it lacks confirmation. Both his

story is false. Mr. Parnell's death would be

None of the annoying differences which have
been evident in that State for many years
past were visible, and all factions seemed
animated with the desire to improve the
present opportunity. strong ticket was
nominated, with Congressman Hart Is. Holton
as the candidate for Governor. His popularity
was tested in the contest of last fall, when he
succeeded in carving the With Congressional
District by a majority of 1885. Two years
before the district had gone Democratic by
1,7l9 majority, showing a change of over
three thousand votes. This remarkable VIC
tory drew the attention of the Republicans to
him as a suitable candidate to lead the party
in the present campaign, and before the Con-
yention met it was known that his nomina-
ton was practically assured. The other
candidates on the ticket will add to its
strength.

1t is reported that large part OF
central New York will be set out in hops
this year. Thousands upon thousands
of hop-poles are now passing over the
railroads leading from the region of
northern New York and Canada, some
of the poles being mere scrubs, while
others arc almost large enough to be
planted for telegraph-wire supporters.
The reason of this state of things is that
the good fortune of the hop-growers last
fall has all but turned the heads of the
farmers.

How to XIII Cabbage Worms.

The ravages of the caterpillars of the
cabbage butterfly caused a great deal Of
trouble last summer at the State Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Geneva.
N. Y, particularly those of the second
or August brood. In order to test the
efficacy of various reputed remedies for
the cabbage worms, the director ap-
piled them to special collections for
worms, and noted the effects. One
specimen confined for three hours
in bottle partly filed with black pep
per crawled away discolored by the pow
der, but apparently unframed. The
second, repeatedly immersed in solu-
ton of saltpeter, and third in one of
boracic acid, exhibited little indications
of inconvenience. Bisulphide of carbon
produced instant death when applied to
the worm, though its fumes were not
effectual. The fumes of benzine as well
rs the liquid caused almost instant death,
but when applied to the cabbages small
whitish excrescences appeared on the
leaves. Hot water applied to the cab
bage destroyed a portion of the worms,
causing also the leaves to turn yellow.
One ounce of saltpeter and two pounds
common salt dissolved in three gallons
of water formed an application which
was partly efficient. The most salts
factory remedy tested, however. con-
sisted of mixture of one-half pound
each of hard soap and kerosene oil in
three gallons Of water. This was APP
piled August rs; an examination the fol-
lowing day showed many, if not all, the
worms destroyed.
The growing cabbage presents such q
mass of leaves in which the caterpillars
may be concealed that it is hardly pos
sible to reach all the worms at one APP
plication. 1t is of Importance, there
fore, to repeat the use Of any remedy at
frequent MISUNDERSTANDING Aneri-
can.
