BUTTERFLIES AND CATERPlLLARs.
New Jersey Entomologist Tells How to
Circumvent the Pests.

A New Jersey Entomologist Tells How to
Circumvent the Pests.
The white cabbage butterfly may be
seen lowering about cabbage fields on
sunshiny days from May to October. 1t
was introduced from Europe, and has
now become general over all the states
east of the Mississippi. The eggs are laid
on the under side of the leaves, and in
from five to eight days hatch little
green caterpillar quarter of an inch in
length. This young caterpillar begins at
once to eat on the under side of the leaf,
but as it develops it cuts through and
generally takes its place on the upper
side of the leaf, or in and about the head
of the cabbage, where it does the most
mischief. When full grown it is about
an inch and quarter in length, and on
account of its likeness to the color of the
cabbage is somewhat difficult to find. In
the state of New Jersey, says Mr.. George
D. Hulst, entomologist of the New Jersey
station, from whose essay on the subject
much of the information heregiven is
four, broods year.
The caterpillar Of the cabbage butter
fly is easily destroyed if the remedy is
applied in time. Among the ones proper
to be used is hot water from fine spray
nozzle, and of a temperature not below
140 or above 100 degrees. Also kerosene
emulsion, compounded after the usual
formula and diluted one part emulsion
20 nine or even twelve parts Of water.
A third remedy, recommended as safe
and thoroughly effective, is pyrethrum,
or Persian insect powder. Of this one
part of the powder to six or twelve parts
of plaster, or fifteen to twenty Of lime,
should be busted on the plants, and will
kill all the caterpillars touched by it.
The powder may also be diluted with
water, one tablespoonful to six quarts,
and applied with sprinkler. Pyrethrum
and the emulsion are each effective de-
stroyers of plant lice and are recommen-
ded as among the best insecticides for
cabbage insects.
The cabbage plusia differs decidedly
from the cabbage butterfly. 1t belongs
to the moths and is a night flyer, and for
that reason is seldom recognized as the
parent of destructive caterpillar. SUI
perficially the caterpillar somewhat re.
sembles that of the cabbage butterfly,
but on examination is seen to be quite
different. While of nearly the same
color, it is larger and longer, and in
creases in size towards the hinder part
1t has only six pairs of legs instead of
eight pairs. 1t, therefore, in crawling
has looping motion, after the manner
of the measuring worms, and is almost
entirely without hair. The insect is
three brooded in New Jersey. These
caterpillars are more tenacious of life
than those of the cabbage butterfly, but
the remedies are the same.
Caterpillars of other moths have been
found to injure cabbage by eating the
leaves, but in most instances without do
ing material injury. In all cases where
they live outside on the leaves they can
be destroyed by the remedies given.

cotton cloth, the whole weighing only
one and one-quarter pounds. The beauty
of this suit is the certainty of complete
protection to your Sunday clothes if you
choose to wear them; and the price en-
ables you to own two suits, and wash Of
ten, and always clean. Then there are
plenty of pockets fore and aft, for pen
ellis, jack knives, screw drivers, queen

at other work likely to soil the sleeves,
an additional set of sleeves may be worn

advised.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch in the life of the individual
Such remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is gratefully

No DANGER At THE FLATHE4D.
A Visitor Just Arrived From Ravalli Has
No Apprehension of an Outbreak.

A Visitor Just Arrived From Ravalli Has
No Apprehension of ar Outbreak.
Robert II. Irvine, the son OF Judge c. E.
Irvine, arrived yesterday from Ravalli,
having left there at 8 O'Clock the previous
afternoon for a visit to his father and rela-
tives, He was asked by q reporter what
he knew concerning the trouble in the Flat
head country t~elegraphed from Missoula
and appearing in yesterday mornings
MINER. He said Demarsyille is rs miles
from Ravalli and just before be left the
latter place on Tuesday he heard that
Deputy Sheriff Clifford had beaten 81 In
dian at Demarsville and that he was likely
to die. There was no news that he heard
of the killing of Clifford and Cunningham.
The Indians there are kootenais and there
is a very small band OF them only o
twenty lodges, SO that at the worst they
could not do much. They had been feeling
sore ever since the hanging OF two OF their
number a year ago a sstated in The MINERS
dispatch. But the Indians or the reserva-
ton are not in sympathy with them.
They are Pend d. Oreilles and Flatheads,
| and, Mr.. Irvine said, would rather move
out OF the country Than have any trouble
| with the whites. Clifford is a cranky in.
| dividual and is a son-in-law Ct Joe Demars..
| after whom Demarsville is named. Mr..
Irvine does uot apprehend any rising
among the Indians, no matter what is
said.

A LETTER FROM CLEHELAND.
The Sophistries and Clouding FaIlaciea
which Mislead The People.

CHICAGO, February 19.-Tbe following is
q copy OF President Cleveland's letter, in
reply to an invitation to be present at the
| convention OF the national tariff reform
league which met in this city this afternoon:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Janu'
airy 24.-John 2. White, Esq, Secretary:
Dear Sir: I have received an invitation Of
| the Tariff Reform League to be present at
| the convention of the tariff reformers to
be held in Chicago. I have also read a
| circular OF the league accompanying the
invitation in which the objects and pur-
noses OF the convention are specifically set
forth. The scheme Of practical and efic.
lent work therein described meets with my
hearty approval, and promises, ii honesty
is adhered to, the most valuable aid and
the furtherance Of q cause which is very
near to the interests and welfare OF our
people.
The danger which we have to guard
against is the misleading OF our country
men by specious theories, cuaningly con-
trived, and falsely offering to the people re-
lief from the present burdens and the legltl'
mate expense necessary to secure the bene.
fts of beneficent rule under the sanction OF
free institutions. -,
The declared purposes OF your league will
not be attained until all those interested
in the economic question, which is now
pressed upon their attention, arefreed from
all
soPHIsTRIEs M CLoUDNG F~ALLAcIEs,
and until the subject ct the tariff reform is
presented to them as q topic involving the
relief Of the plain people OF the land in
their homes, from useless and unjust ex-
pense. The question is a simple and plain
one, and needs but to be fairly presented
to be understood. 1t is apositive duty OF
your orga nization to guard the people
against deception.
My extreme interest in the work which
your league has undertaken, and in the ex-
pressed objects proposed in the convention,
would lead me to accept your invitation il
it were possible to do SO. But my public
duties here positively prevent such accept
ance. Hoping that the convention will be
very successful, and with an earnest wish
for the prosperity and success OF your
in it's efforts to enlighten and benefit
the people.
I am yours, very truly.
[Signed] GROVER CLEVELAND.

pointed as the present one had spent 81,
months on the matter and was no neare
conclusion than ever. He had put in a full
week himself and was tired working TO
nothing.
Monteath wanted to throw the job III
too. When the parties are prepared to g
ahead with the business let them come te

| Meanwhile let the Street Commissions
look strictly after the block for violations

committee discharged.
Lynch came to the front with the dire
prophecy If the Health Officer OF what
would happen if the alley were not opened
at once, but to no purpose.
A rambling inconsequential talk resulted
| until Mr.. B. Petit asked permission to
be heard. 1t was granted him, he being
one of the owners in the block and a petit
toner for the alley. According to him, all
the property owners there wanted the alley
and were willing to pay their share for the
outlets. As a result of his oratory the
Council finally wound itself up to the
pitch OF directing the clerk to send notices
to the lot owners in the block, requesting
some time and place TO be specified by the
SACAA W. JIM ia IAN SNNISSS - $500
right of way for the alley.
Colonel Sanders then came in, and the
Northern Pacific matter was taken from
the table. 1t WAS evident that Colonel
Sanders was disposed to be facstions from
the start, and before be- finished h.
dropped many neat little. pieces OF sar-
casm on the subject, but the

how utterly absurd it is 10 want to k'ep

of the ward. The Council failed to see the
absurdity Of it's position, however, and
Colonel Sanders expended his store OF dry
humor in vain.
After something over an huur OF appar-
emily purposeless talk by the Colonel and
rejoinder chiefly on the part OF the chair,
the matter was referred to the Judiciary
to report to the assembled
municipal wisdom at Up. m. on Saturday,
when the Council hopes to be able to make
it's mind on a subject that is not worth
two seconds thought.
Lewis had a grievance. 1t consisted in
the fact that there vas no postal delivery
in Butte and he had got tired OF travelling
up the long and steep activity that leads
to the p~ostofice. To end this he wanted
the council to pass a resolution drawing
attention of the P. o. authorities at Wash
ington to the subject, and the Chair, Mon
and himself were appointed a COM
to get up a memorial that will wake
the echoes in the National Capitol when it
gets there.
The Council then adjourned to Z p. m.
Saturday.

MIssoULA, Mont, February 19.-[spe

rumors have been afost here about q
shooting affair at Demersville, at the head
of Flathsad lake. Effort has been made to
| find out whence the report originated, Blu
| without avail. Tonight the Gazette Of
this place says:
The following letter was received by
James Swan, OF this place, from q lady in
Ravelli. It seems that an Indian stole an
overcoat from J. E. Clifford, OF Demers-
vile, and well known here. Clifford struck
him with a pistol ON the head from which
the Indian died. Owing to the distance,
with no railroad or telegraphic communi,
cation, this is all the information that can
be received:
THE LETTER.
RAvELL1, February 19.-We cannot tell
much what tue prospects are. There is no
possibility of finding out anything by the
Indians or half.breeds around Ravelli.
Mai. Roman says an Indian brought him q
report that J. E. Clifford wa killed by In
dians Saturday night. We have since
heard that both Clifford and DR.. Cunning
ham were killed. There seems to be a feel.
ing that if Clifford is not killed the Indians
will lose no opportunity 10 do so.
Everything is quiet here. There are few
Indians in town and they are chiefly bent
upon buying ammunition. The squaws
and children are here ia large numbers. and
are hurrying towar1 the agency. l think
if white men in the Flathead valley have
been killed,
WE SHALL SEE A GREAT FIGHT.
A freighter from Clifford said: There
was no excitement in the valley when I
left last Thursday or Friday; but the In
dams threatened him a good deal coming
across the reservation"
Bad blood is known to have existed
among the Indians about the FIathead
Lake country, ever since the citizens of De-
mersville hung two of their number about
a year ago.
Notwithstanding the facts and the ru-
Of late, many people have discred-
tied them. Yet, at the same time, the alb.
OF mail from that section or any
news has created an undercurrent
OF une~asiness among some OF the citizens
this place. 1t is generally considered that
are exaggerated.
1t has been learned that the stage from
Flathead is now past due at Ravelli, and
the people are anxiously awaiting it. The
un~easiness here is increasing.
