PREDACRoUS INSECTS AND THEIR DEs-
TROYERS.

chronological science is being carried
to a point where it is proving of great
service to agriculture in all its branches.
The latest discovery is of disease nat
aral to the chinch bug, so destructive OF
the wheat fields OF the west for half a
century. The introduction OF few of
the sick bugs into any colony of the
pests is said to spread the disease rap
IDLY and thus rid the fields of this de-
structive nuisance. The natural conclu-
sion has always been that such pests
carry with them the germs of their own
determination. All the research of
the most advanced science of the age
has failed to produce or even discover a
new form of life, that is, a species there
was any good reason to conclude had
but recently made its appearance on the
stage of life. This being true, the nat
ural conclusion has been that, while all
predaceous forms of life are Remarkably
vigorous and, to use street phrase,

HOW FAR MAY THIS GO?

The pension roll as it now stands runs
up to the enormous sum of $3.50, 100000
year, and those who have given the
subject the closest study assert that
next year the figure will be $780, 900, 900,
under existing laws, without the addi-
ton of dollar by any new legislation.
The sum, of course, stands unparalleled
in the records of any nation, ancient or
modern. But that is not jot of reason
against the payment of any part Of the
sum. In many things our age and
country discount all other and all
former. If those who receive pensions
all needed and all deserved what they
draw, and if all the money appropriated
for these purposes went where it should
go, large as is the sum and heavy as is
the burden on the taxpayers, no voice
in the land would be heard, even in a
whisper, in any criticism. But to be-
stow charity where it is not
needed, is to encourage shift
lessness and to discourage industry.
To pay pensions to the unworthy is to
put premium ON demerit and to en-
courage unfaithfulness. And to let a
hungry horde of dishonest and unpatri-
otic agents get away with half of all the
money paid ON account of pensions is to
condone dishonesty and prostitute the
functions of government to the commits
sion of theft. Every cent paid out in
any of the above three ways goes to the
lasting disgrace of the old soldiers,
serves to bring the Grand Army into
contempt, and more or less imperils the
whole pension system. The Republican
party in its dealings with the pensions,
or in it's connivance at the methods of
disbursement as well as of award, is
guilty of every count in this Indictment.
The party has but two purposes in
mind in this business. We speak
now of the politicians of the party, and
of the mere politicians, whose party af-
filiation, stock of patriotism and sum
total of principle are all expressed in one
thought-how to hold the Offices. These
purposes are simply to secure the votes
of the Grand Army for the party; to
make channels through which the sur
plus may be kept within limits, and thus
do away with one forcible reason against
the maintenance of the unjust war
taxes; and to put pension agents and
manufacturers, who benefit by these
things, under obligations to the party
such as will justify the call made every
four years for the colossal sums of money
used by the party to buy votes and cor
rupt elections. @ ra

When Alphonse Daudet Wa, Poor.

Alphonse Daudet, considered by many
the most popular living novelist, is one
of the most remarkable looking men in
Europe. He has an exquisitely shaped
head, broad. white forehead, coal black
eyes and hair and full dark beard.
Years ago, when he first came up to
Paris from Lyons, unknown and friend
less, he was so poor that he was forced
to make his journey in cold freight
car, and had nothing to eat for two
days. A copy of his poems fortunately
met the eye of the Empress Eugenie,
who directed the Due de Morny to send
for him. Poor Daudet with difficulty
procured suitable clothing for his ap-
pearance at the Tuileries. but a lucra-
tive secretaryship was soon offered him
by De Morny, and his pecuniary trials
were ended.-New York Ledger.

The rain is a very pleasant episode of
the moment to farmers and fruit-grow-
ers. 1t seems to be a purely local de-
velopment; but it is rain, wherever it
comes from. No fear need be enter
tained that it will interfere with the
progress of holiday shopping, so inter-
esting to the merchants of this city.
These rains of local development are al
ways light and of short duration. The
little shower will keep the surface Of the
ground moist and the grass growing
nicely. In the absence of desiccating
winds hereafter, no interest will suffer,
although no more rain should fall before
the last of January. A few light rains
in February and March would insure us
an excellent season for all crops.

ORIGIN of a Common Expression.

Barking up the wrong tree" is very
common expression in the west. 1t orig
mated from the fact that dog will bark
at the foot of particular tree to indi-
cate to his master where the game is
located. While endeavoring to see the
animal he discovers it ON another tree,
and it finally escapes him altogether. In
its application it denotes that a person
has mistaken his object or is looking for
it in the wrong place.-Detroit Free

ESPECIAL rKLxeRAM TO THE DrsP ArcR.I
MCKEEsPo RT, August 15.-The fifth
annual reunion of the One Hundred and
Second Pennsylvania Volunteers was con-
Quoted very successfully here to-day. The
city was alive with old soldiers, and flags
and bunting foated all along the line of
march. There were no brass bands, but
there was still sweeter music to the veterans
the shrill cry of the fife and the stirring
roll of the drum. There were in line 800 of
the 800 survivors of the regiment, and with
visitors and volunteers, the list was swelled
to 1000 souls. The parade in the morning
was a success in every way, the 600 men in
line. headed by regimental bands, led by
Chief Marshal Colonel Trimble and his
adjutant, j. A. MeIlinger. There was
long line of carriages that grows greater
every year-the line of carriages that con-
veys the old soldiers who are unable to
walk.
The annual session OF the organization
was held at Woods Hall at II A. M. with
President s. M. Duvall, Of Pittsburg, in the
chair. H T. RawIey called the roll, after
which the address of welcome was delivered
Uy Tue DurRSSS, i. 11lDrOOk. In1S was aOlY
responded to by Captain s. L. Fulwood, of
Pittsburg. This concluded the meeting,
and the big party of veterans repaired to
Lyceum Hall, where they enjoyed ban
quet, prepared by the Ladies' Circle of the
G. A. r. After this there was another ses-
sion held in the hall. It was decided to
hold the next reunion at Rock Point on
August 10 next
The officers elected for the year are as fol-
lows: President, s. M. DuYall, of Pitts
burg; Vice Presidents, s. L. FulIwood, of

Eastman. of Allegheny, Company 81; Chap
lain, Rev. D. A. Jones, pastor of the Fifth

The address of the day was delivered by
the Rev. j. F. Smith, of this city, after
which followed an interesting programme
of addresses, interspersed with music and
remarks. Some of the delegates present
came from as far West as Texas. There
were also two members from Missouri, while
there were many from Pittsburg and
Wheeling.

Game.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TEE DIsPArcH.i
CLEVELAND, August 15.-Before the
game began to-day Manager Leadley told
Beatin to 60 in and use his slow ball. "Just
toss it over the plate" said he sand
you'll have those chaps guessing at it all
the afternoon. If you use any speed they'll
knock you out of the box" Beatin followed
instructions implicitly and all the Pitts
burgs could do was to hit the ball for three
little messly scratch singles. Smith was to
have pitched for Cleveland, but was taken
sick and Beatin was put in again to win.
The batting of the home team was as it has
been all the week. All the Clevelands have
made about as many hits in the last ten
games as they made in month previous.
Hecker pitched for Pittsburg, and, although
he did not get the very best support in the
world, he was hit hard enough to lose the
game.
In the second inning Cleveland began the
scoring. West was given first on balls and
the next two men struck out. Beatin hit
for three bases and West scored. In the
fourth inning Davis was sent to first and
West hit for base. Both runners were
advanced on wild pitch. thinner hit for
base and both men scored. Ardner fouled
out and Beatin's hit retired thinner. Gray
muffed Gilks' fly and Beatin scored on Nc
Kean's single. On Gray's error in the sew
enth, and hits by Davis and West, and a
home run by thinner, with doubles by
Ardner and Beatin, and singles by Gilks,
Mexican and Virtue, seven runs were
scored. West hit safely in the sixth and
Miller made wild throw on Zimmer's hit.
This, aided with steal, Beatin's sacrifice,
Gilks' single and singles by Mexican and
Smalley gave Cleveland the remainder of its
runs. Attendance 800. Score:
