The great bridge connecting Ne"
York and Brooklyn is now in regular
use, and is making serious inroads on
the receipts of the terry-boals. Friday
at least 100000 persons crossed the
bridge, but the money receivers were
so few i'll numbers and ineXpe-
ricnccd that there was great con
fusion, and many passed through
the gate" without paying their penny,
whilst almost all the vehicles were Load
ed with people until the gates were
passed, when they would dismonnt and
make their way across without paying
Saturday there was less pressure. The
difference was due in some measure to
the heat.
Daring the middle of the day it was
very hot on the bridge approaches, and
people crossing the river sought the
ferries. 1t became evident ut once that
many persons will not use the bridge
now who will be glad to use it, when
the cars are running over it, and this
will make up tor those who now cross
out of curiosity.
One of the trustees said that when
the cars were running the average ira
vel over the bridge would amount to
lOO, 600 persons IA day.

Is the Lily to Marry Freddie

A dispatch from Washington says
The Sunday Herald, one of the lead
ing society papers here, publishes the
following to-day
:" have just heard some news touch
ing Mrs. Langtry, which | give to the
public for what it is worth. My news
is that the Jersey Lily is to he married
to Frederick Gcbharl this coming au-
tulnn, by which time she will be free
from the bond matrimonial and at lib.
erty to do as she will. My information
goes further and declares that divorce
vii, be obtained under the law in New
York, which grants divorce for aban-
donment or desertion for two years.
The fair lily will plead the fact that
Mr.. Langtry has abandoned her and
done nothing toward her support for the
period mentioned. There is quite diff
ference between Mrs. Lallgtry and Mr..
Gebhard in the matter Of age, she being
about thirty-two and he twenty-tour,
but then that is their affair.
Mrs. Langtry has made about so, 900,
which she now has above her expenses,
and Mr. Gebhard's fortune is rated ut
$40, 900 year.

HOW TO KILL CABBAGE WORMS,

The ravages of the caterpillars or the
cabbage butterfly caused good deal OF
trouble last summer at the State Agri
cultural Experiment Station, Geneva,
N. Y, particularly those of the second
of August brood. In order TO test the
efficacy of various reputed remedies for
the cabbage worm, the director applied
them to special collections of worms,
and noted the effects. One specimen
confined for three hours in bottle part
y filed with black pepper crawled
away discolored by the powder, but
apparently unframed. The second, re-
peatedly immersed in a solution Of salt
petre, and third in one Of boracic
acid, exhibited little indication of in.
convenience. Bisulphide of carbon
produced instant death when applied to
the worm, though its fumes We're not ef-
fectual.
The fumes of benzine as well as the
liquid caused almost instant death, but
when applied to the cabbages small
whitish eXcrescenses appeared on the
leaves. Hot water applied to the cab.
bage destroyed portion Of the worms,
causing also the leaves to turn yellow.
One ounce of saltpetre 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 a ID. each Of hard
soap and kerosene oil in three gallons
of water. This was applied August
26 an examination the following day
showed many, if not all, the worms de-
stroyed. The growing cabbage pre-
sents such a mass Of leaves in which
the caterpillars may be concealed that
it is hardly possible to reach all the
worms at one application. 1t is of Pm.
portance, therefore, to repeat the use OF
any remedy at frequent intervals.

AGRIC u L 7 u r A l..
HARVARD MANURE,

A fertile soil can be deprived of the
whole or part of its fertility by particu-
lar crops. 1t can be rendered def
Gent in nitrogen and yet remain rich
in potash, or it can be deprived Of pot
ash and yet contain lime. Soils are
affected also by the methods of cutiva-
ton, manner of manuring and by
drali gifts. A sterile soil can generally
be rendered fertile by cultivation with
out the use of manure, for constant
exposure to heat and moisture causes
the earth to gradually form and give
off particles of matter suitable for
some indigenous weed, which, when
plowed in, assist to furnish nourish-
nent to more numerous family, ln-
til, by continued process of green
manuring the land can be put to any
use.
As such a method is slow, however,
the use of barnyard manure and the
especially for the purpose is cheaper
and quicker. The question with our
farmers at present is how to keep up
the fertility of soils with the least ex-
pense rather than that Of attempting to
work those that are barren. Good
barnyard manure, as a general thing,
contains all the elements of fertility,
and it shoula never be omitted from its
place in the list as the chief reliance for
success, for, say what we will in favor
of commercial fertilizers, there can be
nothing urged by any one to give them
the preference, though when used with
the manure the result is more SatiStaC-
