A Clerk Removed Because He Cheered for
Mr.. Blaine.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, June 3.--Daniel McConville
the new Auditor of the Treasury for the Post
office Department, says that he proposes to stick
closely to the civil-service law in making ap-
pointments in his Office. Mr.. McConville, how
ever, allows his actions to belle his words, and
has defined the term offensive partisan" in such
a manner as to throw Villas and Hay entirely in
the shade. Among half dozen dismissals
made from his Office within the past three or four
days, for various reasons was that of a clerk
who has been several times promoted
under the civ-service rules No
cause for his removal was announced, and
he made very vigorous protest until he found
that the cause of his removal was that, when
the false report came in that Blaine had been
elected, he was among lot Of. clerks who lett

Odlums fatal jump from the Brooklyn bridge.

feat, but that he was determined to make the
jump. His object, they said was to make a
reputation which would enable him to make en-
gagements to give exhibits during the summer
season at seaside resorts. Captain Boyton said
there were certainly no inducements held out to
the deceased by parties in the city Just previ

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

A Sharp Rejoinder to the Protest of Arch
bishop Guibert.
PARIS, June 3.-M. Goblet, Minister of Pub
lie Instruction, has published reply to the
protest of Archbishop Guibert against the
"desecration" of the Pantheon by its prepara-
ton for the reception of the body of Victor
Hugo. M. Goblet says that the Archbishop
exceeds the rights of his episcoracy in the feel
ing he has exhibited at the determination of the
government to restore the Pantheon to its
original purpose-a receptacle for the remains
OF the really great men of France. M Goblet
also points out that the religious functions of
the Archbishop are at variance with his duties
as citizen towards the government "You are
not authorized" says M. Goblet, ''by any pre-
rogative of your Office to discuss the acts of the
government" M. Goblet, in conclusion, re-
minds the Archbishop that his present attitude
lis not likely to render more harmonious than
they are the relations of the church and
State"

PROFITS OF CATTLE GROWING.

In view Of the interest now being
manifested in the matter of stock
raising and the introduced of good
breeds into the Territory, we publish
the following method of figuring on
the profits in the business
The most simple way to get at
the growth of your stock is to count
all the cattle you own, three years
old and down, and so many hands
at work as though on farm, and
each one making you fifty cent per
month then add your expenses up
and deduct from the growth, and
you will have the correct amount
your stock is making, but if the ex-
pense is greater than the growth,
you must lessen your expense,
or sell out as soon as you can
as it is losing business. But some
may say they can't think cattle will
make Illty cents per head around on
the gross. We will see. Last spring
| braned 5000 one-year olds, that l
can sell for Sc, which was made in
twelve months, so the little calf
has made his fifty cents per month.
We will now let work twelve months
more and he is then IL two-year-
old, and is worth s12, and still has
made his fifty cent per month.
Twelve months more and he is a
three-yeas-old, and worth SIS, and
at four years old is worth s24, if
male, and if female she will
will have a one-year old and one
calf, which will be worth S24. In
these figures 1 have added
nothing for the increase or advance
in prices, which l can. 1 think,
safely say 10 per cent.-Tribu ne

And beg Him day by day to me His best

A heart to love Him more and more till

THE APPLE TREE BORER,

1t is useless for n single grower
to attempt to destroy the millers
and bores unless the neighbors as
sist him. He may destroy all that
infests his own trees but he will be
overrun the next season as COM
pletely as though he had done
nothing, owing to the multiplica-
ton of the insects on other farms.
The principal mischief maker is the
round-headed borer, which attacks
other trees beside the apple. The
larvae are light yellow in color, with
tawny spots, and chestnut brown
head. Then there is another kind
with two stripes, coming in the bee
tie state in May and June. He
works by night, the female deposit
ing the eggs at the roots of the trees
where they hatch, the worms going
IN and commencing to bore after
the lapse of a fortnight. They live
the first year on the sap, wood and
bark, boring small holes, which are
easily noticed by the chips or dust
which they remain in the the trees
for at least three years, and during
that time, if a number are in the
same tree, which is frequently per-
forate it.
As to the remedy there is none
after the trees are in their possession
except the knife. Better kill the
the worm even at the risk off kill
ing the tree, for he will not rest un-
til he has done great damage, and
knife or Il piece of sharp pointed
wire must be inserted in order TO
kill him. If the trees are washed
for Il year just above the roots with
a strong solution of soap with car
bolic acid and tar in the solution.
the female will not be inclined to
deposit eggs in such dangerous
quarters, but the trees must be
treated often, as the rains wash
away the solution. 1t may be
somewhat troublesome, but only
for a short time. Keep the trunk
clean, and the presence of the borer
may be more easily discovered.
