AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS In 1883.

From the new edition of Messrs.
Geo. p. Rowell q Co.'S American
Newspaper Directory, which is now
in press, it appears that the newspa>
pers and periodicals of all kinds issu-
ed in the United States and Territories
now reach the imposing total Of II,
1876. This is an increase Of 585 in
twelve months. Taking the. States
one by one, the newspaper growth in
some is very considerable. The pres,
ent total in New York State, for in.
stance, is 1,999-a gain of 80 in the
past year. The increase in Pennsyl-
vania is 48, the existing number be-
ing 943. Nehraska's total grew from
175 to pol, and Illinois from 800 to
904. A year ago Massachusetts had
400; now the number is 430. In
Texas the new papers outnumbered
the suspensions by 8, and Ohio now
has 1877 papers instead of 692 The
most remarkable change has occurred
in the Territories, in which the d ily
papers have grown from AZ 10 SO,
and the weeklies from 1919 to 243-
Dakota being the chief area of nctiv
ity The number of montlhies
thro ighout the country grew from
976 to l,034, while the dailies leaped
from 900 to 1862. The figures Civ
en- above are exclusive of Canada,
which POSSESSES a.totalof 600. 1t is
| interesting to note that the newly set
tied regions Of the Canadian North,
West are productive of;neSspapers
AS well as of wheat, for the number
of journals issued in Manitoba was
nearly doubled during the year.

Institute failed to pass the Senate,
for. want of constitutional majority,

he has done 50. His own town

A NEW METHOD TO DESTROY INSECTS

Prof. A. j. Cook, of the New Jersey
Agricultural College, writes to the
american Agricultvrist: 1.-The past
season ! have tried a new remedy
with gratifying success. This consi sts
|of a preparation of carhonic acid.
The material which used was pre-
pared as follows: Two quarts OF
common soft soap we're ad led to one
gallon of water, and all settled until
it commenced to boil, when it was re-
moved from the stove, and while yet
hot, one pint Of crude carbolic acid
was added, and all thoroughly mixed.
This was then set away in a close
vessel, and was ready for use as &C.
casion might require. To repel the
insects in question. one part of this
mixture was added to from fifty to
one hundred pa. is Of water, and the
new mixture was sprinkled on tue
plants as soon as they were up, and
after that once every week. In case
of the squash cegerian, the first APP
plication need not be applied earlier
than the 1st of June. The same prep
aration will serve to repel the cab.
bage fly. But. for the latter, my ex-
pertinent eoes to show that bisulphide
of carbon is cheap, efficient, and does
not simply drive the fly away, but
destroys the maggot. AS he who
fights and runs away may live to
fight another day. the bisulphide of
carbon remedy is, / think, to be pre-.
ferred to the scarbolic acid mixture
for use against the cabbage maggot.
We sprinkle the carbelic acid prepar-
alton directlv upon the radish plants,
without injury to the latter, and if it
is found to injure the plants from
too great strength, it will serve as
we'll to turn it in trench made close
along beside the rows of plants. The
peculiar odor of the acid, which re.
pels the flies, as they come to deposit
their eggs, SO far escapes that 1t is
necessary to,apply the liquid as often
as once a.week to insure perfect sue.
cess. cautionis required also that
the preparation is not 90 strong as tc
injure the plants when placed imme
iiately upon them. From one seasons
trial, can strongly recommend the
above application" -.,a SO.

After Lincoln's assassination there
was growing sentiment among ex-
IRENE men in, the North that the
Southern leaders must be punished
and the more famous men hanged.
A Cabinet meeting was called. and it
was resolved to hang at least Gen.
Lee and some one or two others it
may be. Grant, at the head of the
army, was sen. for, and was told
what was the action of the Cabinet.
He deliberately unbuckled his sword
and laying it upon the table, said !:
my honor as soldier and man is
pledged to Gen. Lee, and if you take
the step proposed, l at once surren-
der my sword, resign my commission
and go before the Americad people, -

brought the extreme men to their
senses, and the matter was dropped

WHEN SHOULD A CHILD BEGIN
SCHOOL," ~ .-

1 fear many children are sent to
school merely to keep them out OF
mischief; and to. accomplish this
purpose they may probably begin
very eafly: indeed. Bat nothing can
well De mose unfair. and injudicious
than TO- snbjss4 child to sirksome
confinement and fsemature study for
the sake OF conveniefice or to. sup
plement defective methods OF home
training. 1t is clear also that np
fixed age cans be adopted, as the
proper one for sending all children
to school. There are people who
with rash consistency light fires in
their houses on the first of Novem.
Der, and put by their overcoats on
the fifteenth Of April. though vennor
or some more reliable prophet should
fueteli glowing Indian summer or
succession of Arctic waves late I'm
May. So, too, there aremanyparents
who seem to put their children to
school when the predetermined
birthday comes, without the least
consideration Of the mental and
physical development OF. the subjec,
of their experiment. The plain truth
is that child should begin schoo
when he is fit for school that. il
when he is physically strong enoagl
