Plum Curculio: The mature beetle
may be Jared from the trees night and
morning into a cloth placed beneath,
then emptied into a large bottle, and
finally burned. All fallen fruit should
be destroyed each day, by burning or
boiling. 1t is stated (by DR.. Packard,
of Ihode Island, if l remember cor
rectly) that spraying the fruit with a
solution of Paris green or London purple
before and during the appearance of the
beetles, has resulted in the saving OF
large portion of the fruit. ,
It may also be an advantageto to point
out some of the friends of the farmer,
which, consel eluently, no farmer should
destroy or allow to be destroyed.
Among these are toads, which are,
under all circumstances, the farmers
friend; moles and field mice, probably,
do a vast deal more of good than harm
all birds, especially robins, wrens,
thrushes, orioles, cuckoos, phebes, blue
birds, woodpeckers: swallows and cat
birds. The destruction of all these and
many others, except for scientific pur-
poses, should be made, under very heavy
penalties, illegal in every State. The
house sparrow, known better as the
English sparrow, is to be rated an ex-
ception. This bird is now universally
regarded as a nuisance, first, because of
its grain and vegetabledestroying pro-
pensities; secondly, because it drives
away insect destroying birds.
Among insects, many wasps are friends,
especially those with a more or less pro-
truding horn or sting at the end of the
abdomen. Lady bugs and lace-wing
flies live entirely upon destructive in
sccts, especially plant lice and Scale in
sects, and should never be destroyed.
Dragon flies, or DEVILS darning-needles,
are also useful as we'll as harmless.

Dental ORDER he may have crsved recognition
from theological faculty rs Doctor OF Di-
vinity
The theologians of Giessen have not neg
lected TO make a UNCONVENTIONAL use OF the
occasion. In their academic Latin they refer
gratefully TO the Chancellor as the approved
counsellor of Evangelical Kings, the protector
Of the Established Church and the defender Of
the Protestant faith. Similar were the eu-
logies when the Prince, victorious in his dplo-
matte campaigns against Austria and France,
rashly challenged the Vatican to an irrecon-
cilable conflict and shouted: owe shall not
90 to Canossaw The successive compromises
and surreuders which have followed that dec
laration of war have impaired the prestige Of
the defender Of Professionalism. The repeal Of
hostile legislation against the Roman Church,
and the appearance of the Pope as the Chan
ceor's political ally in the last general cleo
tons have brought that disastrous campaign
to an nglorious end. Prince Bismarck may
have welcomed the bestowal Of the degree as
a testimonial Of which he stood somewhat in
need Not for long time has he been pro-
claimed the valiant protector of the Protestant
faith and the powerful ally of Evangelical re-
ligion. As a Doctor of Divinity eulOgized in
the choicest Latin of the Giessen theologians
he may confidently hope that his diplomatic in
trigues with the Vatican will be blotted out of
remembrance.

BISMARCK'S NEW TITLE.

| The comforting Of the degree Of Doctor of
Divinity upon Prince Bismarck is something
more than an academic compliment. The theo-
| logical faculty of the University of Giessen
would not have ventured to bestow the title
without consulting him in advance. He is too
great parsonage IN Germany to be embar-
raised with university honors without his
previous knowledge and consent The learned
doctors Of the Evangelical faith would not have
| been 50 presumptuous as to take liberties with
the grim Chancellor, the arbter of the des-
TIMES of Europe. He may have desired the
| distinction and prompted their action, or else
have acquiesced in their purposes when he was
made acquainted with them. In either case his
motives cannot be readily discerned. The ac-
| ceptance of the degree seems at first sight a
| freak of the cynical humor which is character
istic of the man but grave reasons may have
determined his action.
The Latin eulogium which accompanies the
degree describes the Chancellor as "the great
and unique man who with singular fidelity
has dedicated and still dedicates his service,
nay his life, to three Emperors, and, undaunt-
ed and unwearied fears no one but God, and
humbly intrusts all human affairs to His gov
ernance." This seems an echo of the Chan
cellor's stirring speech in the Reichstag not
long ago. when he declared that the Father
land, strong in its ornaments and secure in its
alliances, feared God, and nothing else in
the world" The maintenance Of peace by
means of the most formidable preparations for
war mankind has ever known he has identified
with the Providential order for the govern
ment of the modern world. AS long ago as
the stormy legislative debates that preceded
Sadowa he was convinced that the divine gov
ernor Of the universe was not God Of Parlia-
ments. Discussion, he asserted, would never
bring about German unity. "The decision"
he exclaimed, "will only come from God, from
the q cd of battles when He lets fall from His
hand the iron dice of destiny~ Twenty-Five
years Of service as Kings man on battlefield
and in Cabinet have confirmed his faith in
what he regards as a divine Gospel Of arma-
ments and menaces of war. "TIhe fear of
Cod" he now assures the Reichstag, makes
us wish to foster peace. He who attacks Ger
many will find it armed to man, every one
having in his heart firm belief that God is
with us" He has reduced ornaments and
standing armies to religious system. He
looks upon it as the divine method of govern
ing the Kingdoms Of the earth With him it
is a fundamental article Of reli gion. But
where there is religion there must be theology.
The Chancellor naturally desires recognition
as theologian. Not content with being hailed
as the prophet Of q new disDensation Of Provi-

the country with the fact that gross attack
had been made upon the President Of the
United States. THE TRIBUNE showed Its re-
spect for the office, and for the man because Of
his offire, in ignoring this publication and the
gossip which has been ahoat during the CAM
paign. Now that it has ended in Mr.. Cleve-
lands defeat no intimation of the existence OF
such stories comes from the Republican papers,
but on the contrary, from the Mugwump wing
Of the Democratic press, his special friends,
and apparently the only friends he has left in
the party. 1t is pity that the political waters,
already turbd enough, should have been be-
fouled by such publication. We have no
means of knowing Mr.. Clevelands views upon
the incident, but he has right to be indig-
nant that his family life, which the press of
the country have without distinction of party
treated with so much generous cordially
should be paved over in public in this style.
Mr. Cleveland was defeated for public rea-
sons. and there were plenty of them. There Is
no need Of any such extravagant voyages OF
discovery as this to find out why General Har-
rison has been elected No doubt the propaga-
ton of these scandals by malicious and vulgar
Democratic politicians may have had the effect
to confirm some persons in prejudices against
Mr.. Cleveland which they had already con-
ceived, and here and there may have been
vote changed by them although no we'll
authenticated case Of that kind has come to
light; but any person who believes that they
had any serious effect upon the canvass should
at once be examined by physicians with view
to placing forcible restraint upon his actions
In any case it is an ineffable idiocy to accuse
Republicans as they are accused by these pa
pers, seeing that the Republican press without
exception bore themselves with great circum-
spection in the matter, and showed respect
for the dignity of the Presidential office in
which Mr. Cleveland's next friends are lacking.
