SIX Culture.


Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me to direct
the attention of your readers TO an
item in the Scientific American OF
the 18th of October last respecting
silk culture which all may not have
seen.
A lady in South Carolina raised
a few silk worms every year to
assist the development of silk rails
ing in the United States, which the
woman had taken in hand, found
as the winter had been warm that
her eggs had Matched before the
Usage orange or the mulberry had
put forth leaves with which to feed
them, and the ramie leaves being
at hand, she thought perhaps she
could save the life of her worms
the ramie leaves until the mulberry
leaves appeared. The worms fed
ravenously upon the ramie leaves
and thrived so we'll that when the
mulberry leaves appeared E ~ di.
vided the worms into two lots, feed
ing one lot on the mulberry and the
other with the ramie.
Those worms fed with the ramie
made the larger cocoons. The lady
sent the two lots separately to the
society, from whom she shortly
after received a letter of inquiry as
to how she had produced the
large cocoons, as they were not
only larger, but the silk was of a
superior quality?" In commenting
upon this, / must say that it is
quite reasonable that pure silk
should be of better quality if
made from the silk plant than if
made from some inferior material.
We know better paper is produced
from pulp made of better mate
rial than if poor, coarse material
is used in its manufacture. We
also know that the flesh of animals
fed on better food is superior in
quality and flavor to flesh made
from inferior food. / have never
seen any plant fiber that compared
so favorably with pure silk as the
ramie plant produces. In the leaf
also the silky fiber is TO be seen as
well as on the stalk. If it should
prove true that superior silk can
be made by feeding worms with
ramie leaves a bright prospect
opens for these islands in the silk
line, as there is no month in the
year that the ramie would not pro-
duce young leaves abundantly, and
no month of the year that it would
not be warm enough to hatch the
silk moth eggs. So a feeding of
worms and gathering of cocoons
could be going on constantly, and
with proper care every month of
the year ramie could be harvested
for it's fiber. So the natural silk
and the artificial silk could be pro-
duced from the same plant at the
same time, and an income derived
from each. J. NJ. HoRNER.

American Influence Decisive In the Hay

PORT AU PRINCE, February 25.-The
elections are over, and although the result
has not been officially announced, it is
reasonably certain that the present Admin
istration will have working mel Oriiy in
the Chambers, which convene in April
next. The issue was of an International
characte,, France and the Uaited States
being the actual Candidates. Hayii hss
found out that so long as she stands by
herself she will not progress, and shs has
decided TO call in some other nation to
help her along.
Daring the eighty years of her political
life Hayti has made no progress; bat now
through the influence of the foreign mer-
chants, who sec that Ia the uture there
will be more profit in Legitimate trade than
In loaning money to revolutionary move
ments, Hayti has decided to subsldize
somebody, and the recent elections have
said tina. The subsidy shall 90 TO promote,
TO facilitate and encourage trade with the
United States. There will, OF course, be
much opposition from these who are de
voted to France; but with the power aud
bayonets OF Pnesiden, Hppolyte'a admin

will undoubtedly do much to boom trade

WASHINGTON, February "a -Georte
Hearst, the millionaire Senator from Cali
foruia, is bringing h;d mining knowledge
to bear in the regions about Washington,
and daring the past week be has invested
in some camel coal veins in West Vir-
ginis, which, | am told, make him anOth-
er fortune Thomas Jefferson Clunie one
of the new Representatives, from San Fran
cisco; went with Hearst 20 make the pur-
chase, and he tells the story. Said he:
'The trip taught ne how Hears, MAJ e

ginis ssle will give you coed insight into

each Of which had its PRICE end each Of
which contained different variety OF coal.
The owners began 10 expatiate on their vir-
tures az soon as we arrived. The vein
they particularly wanted to sell was 1900
feet up the mOuntainside. They had sam
Piles of it at the foot of the hill, and the
vein looked well from the distance. The
samples we're fine, the price was low, and
| expected to SEQ Hearst snap et the offer.
As he dill not, | asked:
"'What's the matter, SepatOiY
"'Well,' replied Hearst, 4 don't Ike
to buy pig in poke, and We had better
crawl up and see that coal for ourselves
before we discuss the price With that
we climbed up TO the vein, and Senator
Hearst toak n piece of the coal sBd lit IL

tnrDentine The lump the Senator III did
burn when the match touched ii, bat a
moment later il went out, and the Senator
said
"'There, Clunie, that's no good. There
are other varieties Of coal than camel coal
which will burn upon being lit, bat The
heat camel coal will continue TO burn
until II is reduced to asheH. This piece 10

"We then sampled another vein, going
through the same pr ca. Senator Hearst

watched il ss a mother does her frst-horn.
When il was half consumed said: well,
Senator, are you satisfied noN?'
"'No, Pm not, replied Senator Hearst,
aud ne kept his eyes on the blazing lump
for fnlly zen minutes logger. At the end
of that time the fire had died cut, and
only heap of gray sshes remained on the
ground. Senator Hearsi then SAID
"That settles it," and he tbereupon
went the West Virginian aud bought the
vein. 1t is e valuable property and 1t will
nrobably make him great deal OF money.
II was in this same way that he made mil

Further Particulars Regarding the Great Dam
Disasssr-The L1ss Of Property Much
Greater Than Was First Supposed.

PRESCOTT, ARIZ, February 25.-NO
further particulars have been received con-
cerning the Walnut Grove dam disaster.
A courier has been looked for, bu. has
failed to arrive. As the distance is sixty
mies, and the roads are badly washed and
streams swollen, this may account for the
delay.
Another courier was started from here
last night, as the suspense continues in
tOnse and grave fears are entertained that
the situation may be worse than first re-
ported. The stage due on that route Sun
day night bas not yet arrived.
The courier who arrived here yesterday
said that the town of Wickeuburg wss but
slightly damaged by the flood from the
broken dam.
A San Francisco dispatch says: No sd-
ditional details Of the disaster at Walnut
Grove dam, Arizona, have been receiyed
here. The report that 134 lives we're lost
at the lower dam is evidently incorrect.
Adviees from Pr eaix state that "a courier
arrived there from the scene Of the yesler-
day afternoon bringing information that
vas "a. Il is not known how many lives
were lost 10 the valley below, but it is
believed that the number will reach 80
or 40.
LATER-The worst fears in regard to
the Walnut Grove disaster are more than
realized although particulars come in
slowly and are still mesgre. Two pros
pectOrs arrived late last night from the
upper dam. They say that they campsd
above the dam on Friday night AT
about l o'clock on Saturday morning
the dam broke, the water running
down the narrow, steep canyon
IN a sold body 50 feet higd Oae man was
rescued from the top of a tree. They state
that not even a remnant of the dam exists.
Tne immense body of water, one sud half
miles square aud sixty feet deep, was
emptied in an holr. They had talked
with many from the smaller dam fifteen
miles below, who said that up to Satur-
day evening twenty-five bodies had been
recovered, but could give no additional in
formation.
The survivors were ia the greatest des-
titutiOu, having neither provisions nor
clothing. Coarse grain sacks wsTe being
used in hsu of clothing. The camp OF
workmen engaged in building tiume has
net been heard from at all, and it is feai ed
thst all aIe lost. No news bas yet been
received here from Wickenberg or fTom the
settlements below the dam.

what He Was DoinG.
QUEBEC. February 25.-Rodolph Du
goise who murdered his wife, mother-in-
low and two children, Sunday, in the viii
lsgs Of 81. Albap, was captured late Sun
day night.
Du Bois was bora in Canada, bat wac
hrought no in the United States, whera he
learned TO speak English very veil, This
fact got him the nickname OF "lTisbman"
among bis fellow parishioners in 81. Alban
He WAS a beggsr by profession, and for
more success IN this business be asso-
cisted himeelf with his brother-in-law,
Thibault, who is blind.
DuBois is of colossal statue, and ia ex-
ceediugly fereciOus. Two years ago he
left his wife and went wandering about
the country, leaving her in the greatest
misery. Knowing his wickedness the pee
ple did not dare to interfere lest they
should be murdered. On Sunday while
the villagers were OF mass Dnbois, after
having uuarrellsd with his wife, went TO
the rear of the house and got an exc which
WAS well sharpened. he then entered the
house and assailed his wife end mOther-ir-
law. whom. he soon bu;cbered. Next he
coolly murdered his two boys and threw
the four bodies into the cellar, whence
they we're brought by Thibault, the blind
begger, who appears TO have been present
at the onslaught.
The murderer WAS found five miles north
of st. Albau, and at fret showed fight,
bnt he cooled down st the sight of re
yolver and is now here under a strong
guard. He desires to be taken TO QGsbec,
where be gays he can obtain justice. He
declares that be did not know what he
was about when he murdered bis victims
Several psrishOners at s.. Alban are O.
the opinion thst Dubois is idiotic.
