Kerosene OIL for Worms.

Editor LIGHT:
The following is given for the benefit
of the granger elements, and respectful
ly referred TO the "0ne Horse Farmer"
The last OF August | prepared my
lettuce bed, l6xlS. by spading up thor
Ougbly and raking off all clOds, leaving
the ground free OF all trash, then COW
cred IL with finely pulveTiZed oow-man-
ure about four inches deep. On the 4th
:, { september spaded in the manure and
drenched the bed thoroughly with wa
ter. On the 9TH spaded again and raked
off the surface and sOwed my seed, COW
cred them lightly with the manure dust
only, and sprinkled freely. On the 10th
the seeds were up and growing.
Sprinkling from time to time, on the Bird
of October had lettuce for dinner.
Now | come to the point, the object
of this communication. On the evening
Of the 9TH | saw that about one half Of
my bed was gone-the lettuce worms
devouring it like grasshOppers.
What should do? In few hours my
entire crop would be destroyed, and MS l
have nothing TO risk by experiments,
took about a wine glass full Of kerosene
and put it in my sprinkling pot and
filled with water, say p gallons, and
sprinkled my bed. felt sure of killing
the worms, but what about the lettuce?
If saved 1t. could it be eaten? Would
1t not taste OF the kero enc? In couple
OF days with a weaker solution of kero-
sene and water sprinkled again. The
lettuce grew finely and showed no ex-
ternal injury from the oil. On last
Sunday, the 18th, gathered large
dish for dinner and never had better
lettuce on the table. no taste whatever
of the kerosene, but crisp and brittle. l
destroyed the worms. they have not re-
turned, and saved my lettuce.
Query: Could the cotton worms be
destroyed in this manner? ID. G. K.

OUR RICHMOND LETTER.
What the Types Can and Often Do,
Political Things, Wise and
Otherwise.
RICHMOND, TEX, Oct. 20, 1856.

RICHMOND, TEX, Oct. 20, 1856.
Types, like figures, never lie; but hOr-
ror OF horrors how they are made to lie
sometimes by the Intelligent compost
tor. In my last wrote OF Hon. q. X.
Tompkins, OF Waller county, candidate
| for the legislature, "that he lie white
man." When IL appeared In town this
morning, imagine the feelings OF your
| Intelligent correspondent" when he
read, "he Is no white man." Now, shoot
that typo on the spot, turn him over to
| Geronimo. provided he, the typo, is not
| too tough for breakfast. DO anything
| to prevent him from converting an ex-
member OF the legislature, from "white
| man to that Of any other color, to sun
| the imagination"
Yesterday was held our, not our co
vention, for ours would have been sure
| unadulterated republican. not mixed.
There was not white delegate In the
convention. X. II. Earnest. an ex-fed-
eral colonel, was nominated for county
Judge. Judge J. G. Williams, pure re-
publican, an old Texan, for county at
tOrney, J. j. Dickinson, white repub-
lican, for county CLERK. e. NJ. Ferguson,
colored, for district clerk. ii. G. Fergu-
son, oOlored, for assessor. j. b. Roberts,
colored, for treasurer. j. w. Carney,
white, for sheriff, democrat J Bud
Harper, white, democrat fer hide and
animal Inspector. Mr.. Farr, white, re-
publican,) for surveyor. j. n. Meek,
talented young democratic lawyer, for
Justice, precinct one. The convention
also endorsed Judge j. w. Par
ker. for the Legislature. Judge
Parker Joined his fortunes two
years ago TO the republicans, has been
received into fellowship, passed his pro-
baton and is now in good standing and
for his zeal in the cause he once de-
stroyed, he will go TO the legislature
provided always, nevertheless, upon
these conditions-that Waller county
does not put up man with longer
pole, who may bring down all the per-
simmons. By rights this is Walters
year-But
"When young converts first begin to
sing,
Their happy souls are on the wing"
And to keep one of these in the party,
an endorsement was necesssry-But to
do Judge Parker justice, | will state
that he still claims to be democrat.
There were several spats in the con-
vention among the delegates-all for
supremacy; but the result showed that
Senator Burton was bigger man than
his rival, G. NJ. Ferguson, as Burton,
espoused the cause of Parker and Fer
guson that of Tompkins, and Burton
carried off the honors.
A four-horse team ran of in our
streets to day. doing considerable dam
age to the wagon and team. When will |
people learn to hitch their teams and |
not allow them to stand unfastened on
the streets.
| should have added that the ticket |
nominated, is good one, and will be
elected. NAT.

Meeting Last Night.

The meeting called at the courthouse
last night, in the interest OF the stock
association. though not formally organ
lied, showed, In the desultory converse
ton, very satisfactory and encouraging
progress. The question OF securing suffi-
cient stock may be considered as virtu-
ally settled. The question now is purely
one of organization in such a way as
will guarantee the successful manage
ment of the association so as to meet the
wants of western Texas stock growers
in general and lovers OF fine horses and
cattle in particular. This action it was
decided to defer until after the election,
when another meeting will take place.

THE SUGAR TRIBUTE.

Cae CT the best points in Mr.. Nor
sons bill for moderating excessive and
mischievous features in the tariff, is
that requiring a reduction of the sugar
duties. As was expected, the sugar
planters Of Louisiana strongly object
to this valuable provision of the bill.
The advantage it would confer would
be felt at the table Of every family in
che United States. Every fruit grower
would be benefited by it, as cheaper
sugar would extend the preserving Of

trades would find it 10 their advantage,

Epeceh on m. 8. n. Coward.

Mr., CHAIRMAN-I cannot let this
opportunity pass without adding my
testimony TO the high character and
purity of of Mr.. James +. Temple.
For thirty years have known him, q
portion OF which time quite intimate
", occupying the same office, afford
ing ample opportunity OF learn
ing his true worth, and / must say
that never knew a more heightened,
conscientious Christian gentleman,
certainly none more inofensive and
harmless. AS q man he was above re-
preach, as q husband and father he
was kind and tender; as lawyer he
was careful and painstaking. But not
in the courthouse did he shine to the
gre atest advantage. 1t was in his
office that he was most perfectly at
home. In the preparation OF court pa
pers-writing chancery bills, deeds,
he scarcely had an equal within
my knowledge. But his life was a
struggle, Poor in purse, he was proud
| in spirit, and was constantly striving
TO better his fortune in order to better
enable him to care for those de-
pendent upon him. And is 1t not
creditable to any man for 1t to be said
/ of him that after life OF forty years
spent in any community that no one
could be found to say single unkind
/ word OF him? for verify believe
Judge Temple had not a single enemy
on earth, and he died as he lived, &
Christian gentleman. But be is gone
and the oldest practicing attorney o
the Memphis Bar is dead. Peace t
his ashes.

Of Memphis, that the eminently truth
full address OF our chairman be &C.
cepted and adopted as the voice and
sentiment OF our bar in testimony OF
the life and character OF our late
brother, James +. Temple.
Mr.. B. NJ. Estes then made q few
feeling remarks, and moved that the
members OF the Memphis bar should
attend the funeral Of Judge Temple,
which motion was adopted.
Mr., s. H. Coward, who seconded the
above resolution OF Mr.. b. NJ. Estes,
made the following address:
