ICoMM NGCATED,

Mealy bug, or coffee blight is an
ugly customer. Its ravages in the
East Indies at one time was fear
ful scourge and drawback to the de-
velopment of the product under no.
tice; in fact, threatened to totally
e1terminate the industry.
In one of Sir Emerson Tenent's
volumes will be found report of
DR., Gardner predecessor to Dir.
Thwaites and DIR. Trimen, at the
Government Botanical Gardens, ,Cey-
lon), on coffee blight. The Report
was written 40 years ago. The fol-
lowing is an extract, which taken in
connection with the comment that
follows, by A. NJ. Ferguson, is very
important indeed, in reference to
these islands:
GAS far as it is possible to ascer-
tain the coffee bushes were not af-
fected before 1913 when Captain
Robertson first observed the pest on
his estate at Lapalla Gala, whence
it spread eastward through other
estates, and finally reached all the
plantations on the Island.'
DR.. Gardner, after careful en-
quiry and minute examination of
estates, arrived at the conclusion
that all remedies up to that time
had utterly failed, and none, at
once cheap and effectual, was likely
to he discovered. He seems also
to have been of opinion that the
pest was beyond human control, and
even if it should disappear, it would
only be when it should have worn
itself out, as other pests have been
known to do in some mysterious
way. Everything observed by DR..
Gardner seemed to indicate the per-
manency of the pest. A. NJ. Fergu-
son Esq, the gentleman above re-
ferred to is acknowledged by the
planters of Ceylon to be the great
est authority on tropical agriculture.
He is the proprietor and editor of
the"Tropical Agriculturist Journal, !"
"The Ceylon Observer" a daily
and weekly newspaper, besides be-
ing largely interested in plantations
personally. The following are his
remarks upon the above report,
published inhis Directory of Ce ylon
for 1884:
"But whoever hears of blight
now? 100000 acres have been
planted in the wilderness of Peak
since then and the area affected by
bug there or elsewhere in the island
has been most trifling.

Late + oreign News.
UNITED STATES.

When daylight streamed through
the windows of the rotunda at Castle
Garden on the morning of the 9TH
instant it fell upon remarkable
scene. The place was overcrowded
with immigrants. Men, women and
children, huddled in groups, were
sleeping upon the floor like cattle in
a pen.
Fully 5000 people slept in the
rotunda and other buildings. They
were compelled to stay there be-
cause the railroad companies had
failed to take them away.
Several members of the Emigra-
ton Board are agitating the ques-
tion of the removal of the depot
from Castle Garden to the building
now used in connection with the
customs service. The reasons
which are assigned for the proposed
change of quarters are the need of
better facilities for taking care of
the large number who are landed
here, and the fact that the city of
New York, which is the owner of
Castle Garden, may see fit at any
time to terminate the lease to the
Commissioners.
The Federal Judges claim they
are powerless in the enforcement of
the Restriction Act; that the
Chinese cases must be decided ac-
cording to the law and testimony,
notwithstanding the daily revela-
tions of fraud. 1t is well known,
however, that when the Customs Of
ficers examine the Chinese before
they are allowed to land, that a
greater number are remanded than
in the cases where the Custom-house
has taken no part. Surveyor Tin
min, San Francisco, has written an.
other letter TO Collector Hager, in.
forming him that the United State;
Courts had issued writs releasing
ll8 Chinese from the Capital before
the examination had taken place
This infringement of the law takes
place upon the arrival of every
Chinese steamer.

AN ESSAY ON PRAGTLCABiLlTY
OF PROHIBITION.
PART 1.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-So much has
been SAID lately on this many sided
subject by both contending parties,
so much praise bestowed upon it by
its advocates, and SO much blame
attached to it by its adversaries,
without the slightest benefit to either
faction, that l have come to the
conclusion both must be wrong.
The object of this essay is, if pos
sible, to adjust both wrongs and
make the right, thus created, unite
and further this cause, which in itself
and per Sc is right and beneficial to
humanity.
AS the prohibitionists are the ag-
gressors, as they are in the main,
whether right or wrong, the creators
of this bone of contention, l will
point out their wrongs first, and by
doing so will be compelled to say
many harsh things about them, hop
ing, however they will deal kindly
with me when they remember that it
is not l, but the other side which
committed these acts and which
after all concern only those persons
who have been guilty OF such COM
missions.
Every prohibitionist admits, and
it is we'll substantiated fact, that
all their undertakings tending to
promote the cause have been success
full only partially and then only
temporarily, while the bulk of their
endeavors have been complete
failures!
A gentleman signing himself Pro-
hibition, whom l will address as
"his party" for arguments sake
in this issue, puts forth two princi-
pies by which he tries to prove-only
failure in the final success. One is
the startling assertion that the Pro-
hibitionist does not prohibit for the
sake of the drunkards salvation but
his own sake, because he is in dan
ger; and the other, that a middle
line of tipplers, who are neither
drunkards nor prohibitionists are in
the way, and opposing the progress
of teetotalism, and who also are thu
puzzle and riddle to penetrate before
success is likely to follow.
Independent of the view whicl
either infdels or Christians woul(
take of the first assertion, whicl
smacks at least of seltishness, o
like an acknowledgment that ou
neighbor is as naught to us, / viii
only argue the question of self-pro
lection and danger.
The question naturally arises wha
protection do you need and agains
what danger. If succeed in show
ing that there is no danger, it fol
lows that there need be no protec
ton. Further, the necessity 10

THE DANGER OF PAPER.

The public thoroughfares should
not be made the receptacles of any
kind of rubbish, especially such as
contains anything that may either
directly or indirectly jeopardise the
lives or property of the public. The
custom prevails among some people
of sweeping their dirt into the
street, and as that dirt often con-
tains scraps of paper large enough
to be blown about by the wind, it
becomes very dangerous element
indirectly to life and property.
Horses are frightened by it, and
runaways may be the consequence,
perhaps resulting in serious injury
to persons or property.
On Tuesday last runaway from
this cause, which might have re-
suited seriously-as it was on Fort
street at time when the street was
crowded-was averted by the owner
of the horse coming out of the
store at the nick of time, just as the
horse had broken the fastenings OF
the bride, and in another second
would have bolted.
This is not q solitary case. 1t
happens nearly every day that horses
are frightened from this same cause.
Shop-keepers should exercise little
precaution, to terminate this appar-
emily trifling cause of annoyance
and danger.

UNRESTRICTED OIL.
The State Coal Oil Inspector Will
Prosecute the Waters-Pierce
OIL Company.

Billy Baggot, State Coal Oil In
spector, of St. Louis, arrived in
town yesterday afternoon. His
business here was to see if the law
requiring coal oil to be inspect
ed before being placed on sale had
been complied with by the local
dealers. He found that the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company, J. II
Lawler, agent, has been selling oil
in violation of the law. This COM
pany has a great deal of tanked oil
uninspected, as well as oil in bar
,rels. Baggot called upon a num-
Der of the merchants to-day, and
notified them of the violation OF
the law and informed them that if
they continue the sale of the unin-
spected oil of this company after
to-day, that they would be equally
liable under the law with the
wholesale dealers. Mr.. Baggot
has prosecuted the Waters-Pierce
Company in several other counties
and will here. He returned to st.

noon.
