Paris green has no effect on squash
bugs. This is because all the true bugs
as the squash bugs, lice, etc. - have
beak or proboscis with which they
puncture the epdermis of the leaf and
sip the juices from its interior. In this
way they avoid the poison by sticking
their beaks through it. A good way to
capture squash bugs is to lay pieces of
board under the vines, and the bugs,
crawling under them at night, can DC
captured in the morning The bugs are
usually found with theirIfect against the
boards, pressing their backs to the earth
to keep them warm.-N. Y. Herald.

SENATOR MANDERSON.
Progress of Measures Which He is
Managing I'm the Senate.

An important bill which was intro
duced by Senator Henderson during the first
session is soon to become law. 1t proposes
to make Omaha a port of delivery and a port
for the immediate transportation thereto Of
dutiablc goods. A favorable recommendation
has been given by the secretary of the treas
ury, and the judiciary committee of the senate
has made a favorable report, and the bill will
be pressed for passage
Senator Manderson's bill, which was report
ed favOrably at the last session, providing for
the sale by the interior department of all aban-
doned military reservations, has been rendered
inactive for the present by reason of the fail
ure OF the house to make an appropriation for
the necessary survey preliminary to the sale
This oversight will be properly corrected this
session. The abandoned military reservations
of Forts Mcpherson, Hartsutf, and others in
Nebraska alone comprise about 10000 acres of
land, much of which is already occupied by
settlers who will have prior right of purchase
as soon as the survey is made and the sale Or
dered. The appropriation committee of the
house will report the matter at an early day.
Senator Henderson has introduced a bill to
increase the efficiency of the army By provid
ing that each infantry regiment shall consist
OF twelve companies instead of ten, and three
majors instead Of one, as at present. 1t also
provides that all appointments to regular
vacancies above the grade of second lieutenant
shall be filled according to seniority in the in
fantry arm of the service.
He has also introduced bill to increase the
pension of Gen. S. w. Price from S72 to 800,

The "Red Sunsets OF 1884.

The red sunsets which were so con-
spicuous year ago have excited this
autom great attention in both hemiS-
pheres. The various theories pro-
pounded to account for the phenome-
non, especially that which attributed
to the sky-glows to vast clouds of vol
canic dust discharged at the eruption
of krakatoa in August, 1888, seem to
have lost ground, and some new hy-
pothesis is needed to clear up the mys-
terry. The English astronomer, Mr..
Backhouse, reports in Nature his OBJ
servations of red corona round the
sun, which, he says, is still plainly Wis
ible in England" sit has been ha-
bitual," he adds, ''for me to scan the
neighborhood of tine sun for hal os
during twenty-five years, and never
observed it previous to the date men
toned November, 1888.
The reddish halo to which Mr..
Backhouse has called attention has
been this fall noticed by several OBJ
servers An English scientist, Mr.. E.
Douglas Archibald, visiting the sum-
nit of Mount Washington on Septem-
Der 5, at sunrise, noted, Gin addition
10 the USUAL sunrise oueCIS, large
circle of rosy purple haze situated
about fifteen degrees above the hori-
ION, and apparently having no conec
ton with the yellow and red horizontal
bands beneath it." Though this
observer had witnessed the sun rising
from various attitudes up to $4,000
feet, he had never seen anything SO
curious as the sunrise on Mount Wash
tngton. His suggestion is that the
rosy solar halo has of late become so
conspicuous because, while the sunrise
and sunset glows have exhibited
marked decline in duration and bril-
liancy since 1883, the halo has under
gone no similar elimination of inten-
sity, and thus attracts more attention
relatively than it did at first. This
explanation of the recent glows appears
to be satisfactory as far as it goes:
but astronomers will have to explain
why, if the phenomenon is due to ter
restrail dust floating in the upper atmos-
phere, it has been so rarely recorded
in the history of their science.-Nea0

Very little corn moving in Iowa. Some chOl-

shipments of wheat. Dealers, as yet, have
cribbed but very little corn in Illinois, and in
this respect Iowa is similar to Illinois.

faE BLAINE SUIT.
The Prosecution Dismisscs The Case
Against the 'ScniincI.o

Mr. Blaine has dismissed his suit
against the indianapolis Sentinel. The prin.
cipal grou nd was he could not get Justice in
Indiana Following is his letter to attorneys,
instructing them TO dismiss the case:
WAsHIN GToN, December 1G-T0 Harrison,
Miller d. Rdum, CO,uuseiioIY: GENTLEMEN
When requested you in August last to bring
suit against the publishers of the indianapolis
Sentinel for libel, did so in the belief that
the wrong done me by that paper, being en-
tirely OF personal and domestic character,
could be fairly tried without undue influence
from political considerations. | confess | was
profoundly amazed to find the matter at once
taken up and the libel reproduced with all
possible eXaggcrations in every demo-
cratic paper in Indiana. Except from three
members OF the democratic party of that
state ever heard that a word of dissent or
disapproval was spoken, while the great mass
OF the democratic speakers repeated the libel
from every stump in Indiana, with yi5upera-
tive rancor, with gibe and ribald jest. 1t was
thus made, so far as any matter of the kind
can be made an issue in an exciting political
campaign and the democrats of the state were
thoroughly poisoned in their minds in regard
to the question to be decided at law. Under
such conditions it is simply impossible that
can expect any other result than that which
uninforInly attends a political libel suit grow
ing out OF an exciting campaign in this coun-
try. III | were unfair enough to desire a jury
composed of my own partisans | could not
have it. A properly constituted jury in In
diana would be composed of members of both
political parties in about equal proportions.
When visited Indiana in October, \ was re-
peatedly advised six democrats could not
be found in the. state who in poll
tical suit would give a verdict against
their leading party organ. This did
not necessarily convey an imputation upon
their personal integrity, but simply that the
binding of party prejudice would utterly pre-
vent an impartial consideration of the evidence
submitted. l am perfectly able to fight the
Seminal newspaper in an Indiana court, but |
would stand no chance whatever against the
consolidated venom of the democratic party
of the state. With these surroundings and
with this prospect it Is idle for me to go
through the trouble and annoyance of trial.
The questions propOunded by the bill of dis
covery have already been substantially and
fully answered by me, and 1 am willing to
leave my written statement and answers under
oath to the judgement of the public. | do not
choose to have the case indirectly concluded
by techncalty or suffered to die in silence.
prefer to make this frank and open state
ment of the reason which induced me to be-
lieve the prosecution of the case would be ut
terly fruitlcss. Very respectfully,
