mington, n. c.
He had command of the monitor Sanga-
mon in 1865, and cleared the James river Of
torpedoes without accident. He was III COM
mand of the Don, on special service, from
1866 to 1865, and discovered and surveyed the
Cultivator shoal, about fifty mile east of
Cape Cod. From 1869 to 1870 he was in COM
mand of the Tallapoosa. He was in COM
mand of the New York navy yard from
1870 to 1874. In 1874 he was made captain
and given command of the Swatara. With
the Swatara he landed five parties to observe
the transit of Nenus--one at Desolation
Island. Indian ocean, two at Tasmania, one
at New Zealand and one at Chatham Island
Hearing that the German party for the OBJ
servation of the transit was in distress at the
Auckland Islands, he sailed at once from
Tasmania TO offer relief. Fortunately lie
found the party all right, but his kindness
and the aid he afforded by comparing the
, German thermometers with the thirty on
board the Swatara were made the subject of
a letter of hearty thanks from Prince Bis
marck.
From 1875 to 1873 he was in command of
the Wabash. He became a commodore in
1884 and rear admiral in 1886, and since

wsr and has been member of the Missouri
legislature and lieutenant governor of the
state He was the originator of the Missouri
board of agriculture and the founder of the
Missouri Horticultural society.
The ACCESSIBILITY of elevating the agri-
cultural Office to the dignity of a cabinet de-
partment has long been under consideration
by those who have recognized its Importance.
1t is one of the most practical institutions in
the governmental system. Briefly told, its
duties are as follows:
1t collects and diffuses useful information
on subjects connected with agriculture. 1t
collects new and valuable seeds and plants,
and learns by actual cultivation such of them
as may require such tests. 1t distributes
valuable seeds among agriculturists 1t col
lects reliable information AS to the condition,
prospects and results of the cereal, cotton and
other crops by the fundamentally of four
correspondents in each county of several
states. This information is gathered at stated
periods of each month, carefully studied, es-
timated, tabulated and published. 1t obtains
information with regard to insects injurious
to vegetation, and points out their modes of
infection and the means by which their depre-
dations may be avoided. 1t receives bo-
tanical contributions, and after making de-
sirable selections for the National herbarium,
distributes the duplicate plants among foreign
and domestic scientific societies, and answers
inquiries of botanico-agricultural character.
Other investigations of less practical but
quite as essential a character are made, and
the farmers Of the United States have found
the information Of great value.

days said of the Breckinridges that they
were "lovely in their way, but IN life they
were divided" 1t was poor parody on the
scripture, but too true for jest, for Of the
two sons of the eminent Robert j. one went
into the service of the United States and the
other into that of the Confederacy.
OF the latter, William Campbell Preston
Breckenridge, it is sufficient here to say that
he was a fighter and rose to the rank Of
colonel, that he surrendered in good faith"
and became a good citizen, and in 1884 was
elected as Democrat to the house of repre-
sentatives, where he has taken very promi-
nent part in the discussion of economic ques-
tions. He is reelected to the Fifty-flrst con-
gress. The second son of the great preacher,
Joseph Cabell Breckenridge, is the new in
spector general
He was born in the parsonage manse of the
Presbyterian church at Baltimore, Jan. Il,
1872 was educated at Pennsylvania KY,
and at the University of Virginia, read law
in Danville KY, and left the office to be-
come adjutant to Col. afterwards general
William Nelson then organizing the Union
troops of Kentucky. He served through the
war with such distinction that he was APP
pointed a major in the regular army, and
after doing excellent service in many places
was made assistant inspector general i'll 1881,
from which place he is now promoted to that
of inspector general The relative positions
of the different members of this family are
indeed matter for wonder. In no other
country than the United States, and in nc
other era than that of the civil war, could
such transformations have occurred. The
family record is marvelously variegated, but
it proves that blood will tell"

HE RUEEAlO MOTH.

We copy from the American Agricul-
turst an item which will be of interest
to housekecpers, as follows: Its scienti-
fic name is Anthrenus scrophularia
Though especially destructive to carpets,
the insect feeds on all other wooden fab
RIGS, and also on feathers. 1t works I'M
der the edges of carpets, making large
holes near their margins. Where there
are large cracks in the floor, they will
work along these and cut the carpets in
to strips. Great losses have been sus-
tanned from these insects, in houses that
have been closed for the summer, during
the absence of the family.
"The most effective remedy is steam.
AS the insects confine their operations to
near the edges of the carpets, wet sheet
is folded to form a strip foot or more
wide; this is laid upon the carpet close to
the Dashboard several flat-irons are heat
ed quite hot and passed over the wet
sheet; this will generate abundant steam,
which will be fol ced into the crevices
anu utSlOy lilt lustCIS III
places. This remedy, when thoroughly
applied, has been found so effective that
few others have been tried Still, the
Persian insect powder, especially the
form called Buhach, is so generally des-
tructive to most kinds of insects that it
would be well to sprinkle this along the
sides of the room when the carpets are
laid down. Before laying down the car
pets, the cracks in the floor should be
filled; this may be done with hard soap,
putty, or, if very large, with plaster of
Paris, mixed with water and applied be-
fore it sets. Articles of clothing, and
other woolens, if they contain this insect,
or the common clothes moth, may be
readily freed from them by placing the
articles in tight box or trunk-a tin
wash-boiler will answer well-and pour
ing few tablespoonfuls of benzne over
them, closing tight. The vapor of the
benzine will diffuse itself through the
articles, and destroy all insect life

INSPECTOR GENERAL BRECKENRIDGE.
He Comes of a Family That Is Noted in
American History.

He Comes of a Family That Is Noted I'm
American History.
The promotion by President Cleveland of
Col. Joseph Cabell Breckenridge to the place
of inspector general of the United States, vice
Roger Jones, deceased, is the last event in a
family record of over one hundred years,
which is the very romance of American
history and politics. If the day ever comes
when curious scholars from New Zealand or
Ethiopia delve among the remnants of an
cient history for facts about the Americans,
they will certainly be as much puzzled to
reconcile the varying references to "Breckin-
ridge" as the scholars of today are puzzled
by the "Hasdrubals" of Carthage and the
''Ptolemies" of Egypt This particular Brock
inridge is veteran Of the Union army, and
second son of the once noted divine and sup
porter of President Lincoln, yet he is the
brother of ex-Confederate and present Con-
gresham Breckenridge, cousin Of the vice
president of 1S57-61, and descendant of the
co-author of the Kentucky Resolutions Of
1899"
To begin at the beginning, there was in
Scotland in 1860 a Presbyterian and a Cove
nanter by the name of Breckenridge, who es-
capped to America when the Stuart kings
were restored. His grandson, James, was a
noted patriot in the American revolution and
colaborer of Thomas jefferson. That grand
sons brother John removed to Kentucky and
assisted in framing the noted resolutions
above mentioned. He was United States
senator and attorney general under President
jefferson. His son John was a noted Presby-
terrain writer in his time and was the father
of John c. Breckenridge, vice president Of
the United States and the youngest who ever
held that office.
A brother of the preacher john and con-
sequently uncle of the vice president, was the
