Rosecrsns that the army was routed and
destroyed. OF this despatch Rosecrsns
says: eff it ia in existence with my name

How to Destroy the Cotton Miller.
San Antonio Express.

Louisiana planter has written to
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
proposing a cheap plan for destroying
the cotton worm fly. The same plan
might also be tested in this vicinity,
and should any of our planters make
such a test they will confer a great
benefit on their brother planters if
they will promptly communicate the
result of their experiments to the E@-
press. The planter writes as follows:
"rhe cotton worm fly feeds on sweets,
such as sugar or honey; it does not
feed on vegetable matter. 1t may be
seen sucking the sap that flows from
bruised trees or plants, or melons, or
figs, or other fruits.
81 have seen the cotton miller col
lect just after night in myriads on a
bagasse pile, near this place, to suck
saccharine from the half-pressed cane.
1t is common experience or fact at
tested by many, that if one of the lit
tie vacuum pans used to grind the
small patches of cane IN the cotton
countries, is left uncovered at night
and is allowed to cool that the cotton
worm fly will collect about it just af-
ter night in swarms, and feed upon
the syrup. 1t feeds at night. It will
find bagasse piles and mills remote
from cotton fields. Saturate more
cotton, rags or bagasse with solution
of half water and one-half molasses
and honey-or a solution of any
sweet. Poison this solution with ar
senic, strychnine or cobalt, or any
other poison; put on platforms.
CAL experience teaches that birds,
animals or insects fin l their food with
wonderful instinct; for instance, fox
es, buzzards, etc.
"This plan is very inexpensive"

Why He Wanted Office.

A gentleman who had seen much
of public life, once told the following
story to illustrate how men are will
ing to serve the State, if they thereby
may serve themselves. The reasons
given were certainly as sensible as
those under which many of our con-
gressmen and legislators are chosen,
and the man was very likely more
honest than most politicians:
In a certain town not far from Bos-
ton, there lived a large family, Of sew
eral generations, by the name of c..
At one of the elections, whereat mem
bers of the Legislature were chosen,
William c.. was a candidate. The
whole family were present distribut-
ing votes for him.
won't you vote for William ?"
asked one of the family of = citizen.
"Why should,I2 I never heard that
William had any qualification for a
legislator.
"Well, replied the relative, "I'l
tell you how It's. Williams got a
leetle behindhand, and wants to
shingle his barn. This will cost
about 500. Now if he can get to
the General Court one session he'll
save 900, and so you see be oan

British CAPITAL i'm Cattle.

The following significant statement
is made by the London Lire StocI
Journal:
IL would appear that considera-
bic amount of British capital has
been invested in American cattle. An
English company has been organized
to 60 into the ranch and cattle bust
ness on the line of the Northern Pa
cifc railway. Mr.. Fewer, who has
been in business in Wyoming and
southern Montana for five years, esti-
mate that English capital to the ex-
tent of eight millions is now invested
in cattle on the American continent,
most of which has gone to Texas.
He also states the shipping OF live
stock is wasteful and expensive, and
cattle are unnecessarily bruised in
transfer. The company, of which
he is partner, could ship dead meat
to England much more economically
than live stock, as, the refrigerating
system is now nearly perfect. This
opinion supports our contention for
a dead-meat trade.
