RAISING SILK,

Last Thursday afternoon we paid a
visit to the spacious Agricultural Hall
corner of St. Louis avenue and
Agazzis street, in which Mr.. Chas.
Krauss, ST., is at present making
all necessary preparations for the prop
agation of the silk worm and finally
the achieving of silk. Mr.. Krauss has
entered into the silk culture with some
degree of enthusiasm, and not only his
time, but also that of the members Of
his family will be exclusively devoted
to this branch for the next four
months. He has been very successful
in keeping the eggs over winter, and
of the first ten ounces which started
Matching since the 9th inst, only a
very small percentage remained
unmatched up to the time of our visit.
AS an ounce of eggs is calculated to
produce 10000 silk worms, and as the
allotted space for the worms from
one ounce in their 9th age is 40
square yards, it will be readily seen
what an amount of room Mr.. Krauss
will need when they attain that period
The worms now Matched are Boly-
Wins and it is the intention of the
owner to raise 100000 eggs and a
second crop of cocoons from them this
summer. Mr.. Krauss has also 10
ounces, or 100000 eggs of the Annals
which, however, he will not allow to
hatch until the 18th inst. At present
the worms are fed with mulberry leaves
and as yet only small quantity is
required, but as they grow rapidly and
are ferocious eaters it will soon require
wagon loads to satisfy their appetites,
and as there are not sufficient mulber-
ry trees in this vicinity, the Usage
orange will have to be resorted to.
In few weeks hence. when the worms
commence spinning, it will be very
interesting to visit the place. M.
Krauss will most willingly explain all
that is connected with the business to
anyone seeking information and as we
positively believe that at no distant day
this industry will assume shape and
proportion in this part ofSouth jersey,
we would advise our brethren Of the
press to avail themselves of this oppor
tunity in order TO get all the infor-
nation possible and thus bring more
prominently before their readers the
advantages and profits of silk culture.

A dispatch from Mansfield, La,
dated June 18th, says: The Rev. B.
7. jenkins, Jr., this morning killed
the Rev. j. Lane Borden, President of
the Mansfield Female College. The
Rev. Mr.. Borden had betrayed a
friend of Mr.. Jenkins. The latter
used revolver and fired five or six
shots. One shot took effect in Bor-
den's leg, one struck him in the neigh
borhood of the heart, SCATTERING his
watch to fragments, and one struck
him in the forehead just between the
eyes. He lived about two hours, but
never spoke after the shooting. Jenk-
ms is young man, about twenty-five
years of age, and was ordained min
lister at the last session of the annual
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South. He is son of B. T.
Jenkins of New Orleans, and has been
preaching at Roeblin, station on the
New Orleans Pacific Railroad. B. T..
Jenkins, ST., is one of the trustees of
the college. The coroner's jury rem
dered verdict that the deceased man
came to bis death by pistol shot fired
by b. L. Jenkins, Jr.

NEPTUNE'S CAR.

"On the beach at Gloucester lies q
queer-looking craft in which two jolly
Jack tars and large Newfoundland
dog are about to attempt to cross the
Atlantic. 1t is a catamaran rig, with
mainmast 81 feet high, to carry 10
yards Of sail. A deck, enclosed by
ratings, is built upon twin boats, p
feet in length. An ordinary rudder
guides the curious-shaped float.
The craft was originally built by
Captain Purdy, of the bark Granville
Belle for life-saving purposes. 1t is
now undergoing alterations and repairs
necessary to place it in seaworthy
condition. The men who are to make
the perilous voyage are Captain James
Teller, who has followed the sea for 20
years, and P. Maloney, of No. $40
South Front street, salt of ten years
experience. Both are robust, hardy
looking fellows, capable of enduring
hardships. They expect to start on
the voyage as soon as the repairs are
completed, which will probably be
next Thursday. Sufficient provender
to last seven days will be carried in
the alright boats. In this time the
venturesome mariners expect to reach
Halifax, where fresh supply will be
procured. Captain Teller is sanguine
that the trip from Philadelphia to
Cork can be made inside of twenty
days. He says the venture is the re-
suit of desire to make the experiment
of crossing the deep on a float. He
does not consider the scheme at gil
hazardous. 81 know every inch of the
way" he said yesterday, as he tilted
his straw hat on one side of his head
and tugged at his untrimmed red
whiskers, "and you can bet your
weather-eye we'll sail it like clipper
ship" He will follow the northern
route, touching at Halifax and St

The funny-man of the Enterprise
rather overstepped the bounds Of legit-
innate journalism in his Beverly items of
last week. Trouble in secret is of itself
sufficient cross to bear, but when it is
thrust before the community in a
would-be serio-comic style by thought
less literary hack, the chagrin, not to
say real heart-ache caused, is more
than should be put upon any neighbor
simply because it is an item, and helps
to amuse a certain class of subscribers.
Ridicule is powerful shaft, but
when newspaper stoops to use it upon
a defenceless woman it robs itself Of
more dignity than hosts of leading edi-
torials upon abstruse subjects can ever
make up.
Be funny, boys, but don't try to hu.
initiate those whose burdens are
already too oppressive.

THE OPIUM CURSE.

1t is very alarming to learn that
more than one hundred thousand
pounds of the opium prepared for
smoking, which is four times as poi
sonous as the ordinary drug, are i'm
ported into our country yearly, and
there is an annual increase of about
thirty thousand pounds, very sad
proof of the extensive growth of the
opium vice among Americans. Our
government receives annually more
than half million of dollars duty on
an article applied only to vicious
purpose, and which proves an unmiti-
gated curse to the nation that admits
it.
Sir Thomas Wade, the British Min
lister at Pekin, who has vainly endeay-
ored to get his Government to allow
China to raise the duty on opium, if
they will not allow her to exclude it,
says: at is to me vain to think other
wise of the use of the drug in China
than as habit many times more
pernicious than the gin and whiskey
drinking which we deplore at home.,'
California, Nevada and New York
evidently consider it a more seductive
and deadly vice than imbibing intoxi-
cants, for while they will not pass a
prohibitory liquor law, they have
passed probibitory opium laws. But
Notwithstanding the repressive meas
ures in these States, and the frequent
arrest Of opium smokers in Chicago,
St. Louis, New Orleans, &C., there is
an increase of several thousands year
in the number of those who become
addicted to the fascinating and fatal
habit.
Our Government has been levying
six times as much duty on the smoking
opium as on the ordinary drug, and
has decided to increase it to ten times
as much after July 1st, but it ought to
be excluded entirely from articles of
import or of home manufacture: and
all who are laboring for constitunal
amendment prohibiting the liquor
traffic, ought also to strive for one sup
pressive of the opium curse.

IT appears to he hard work to get
fresh and interes ting newspaper mat
ter out OF sermons. Sturgeon has been
tried without success. In cold type
his sermons are rather commonplace.
Beecher has Tuned up again, and is
the best sermonizer available. 1t is
doubtful, however, if his sermons make
popular newspaper reading. Talmage
was tried not long since and dropped.
His sermons were short, sensational and
unique. But they did not take. The
trouble is that the personal magnetism
of the men is left out, and this is the
vital part of the sermons. The man
not only in the pulpit but in social
and pastoral life, has much to do with
the sermon. 1t is not the mere literary
qualities of the sermons that attract,
but the sturdy manhood and embodi-
ment of the spirit of the gospel back OF
it that do the work.

ONE of the most deplorable effects of
the recent tornadoes and violent rain
storms in various parts of the country
is the destruction of fruit and crops.
Whole orchards, as in che recent tor
nado on Long Island, have been de-
stroyed by the winds, and fields of
grain, as happened in Pennsylvania
and Ohio last week have been washed
away by the downpour Of aain. The
aggregate of the losses thus entailed
upon farmers must be very large, and
in many cases the labor of the whole
season has been rendered nugatory,
causing want and distress where there
had been promise of prosperity.

1t now costs the Government about
$3.50 per capita, counting women and
children, to maintain the 10000 Indians
in the United States that live on reser-
vations. Each year this number
grows mott ceably less, yet the amount
spent for their keeping and education
increases, the $1O,000,000 now annu-
ally spent ON them being about twice
that expended in 1866, or 1850; while
they are about as troublesome as ever
