The Last Bug,

Minneapolis Messenger: Mr.. A. ID
Todd, of Grant township, this county,
was in the city Saturday, and while
here called at the Messenger Office to
report his experience with Professor
Snow remedy for DISCRIMINATING the
great pest of the farmer, the chinch
bug. Mr.. Todd saws he is fully con-
WINGED from the experience he has
made, that the time has passed when
the farmer need fear the destruction of
his crop, by these bugs, if proper care
is exercised in DESTROYING them, by the
means suggested Oy Professor Snow.
Mr.. Todd gave us his experience with
the Snow remedy:
II received nv first infected bugs on
May Sth. l placed them in a common
glass jar, with about twenty times the
number of live healthy bugs. In forty
eight hours, or on May 10th, l dis
tributed these freshly infected bugs in
four different places in the field. l
continued the process Of injecting bugs
and distributing them in different
parts of the field, up to June 9Th.
/ found the first dead bugs, in the
field June LIST. and l noticed from that
on they died quite rapidly, and by this
time Saturday 18TH l don't presume
you could find live, healthy bug in
that field of wheat. | sOwed nv field of
wheat in corn stubble field last fall,
and l am satisfied now. if had not ap-
piled the remedy l have, that l would
have lost my entire field of grain. 1t is
no longer matter OF experiment with
me as to whether these pests can be ex-
terminated by injecting them with the
dead of their own kind. | have tried it
successfully and know it. l intend to
keep distributing infected bugs in my
corn and other fields until l am entirely
clear OF the pests.
l am thoroughly satisfied that if
farmers will take hold of this matter
that the chinch bugs may soon be
thing of the past, so far as any destruc-
ton of crops may be concerned"
Mr.. Todd is one of the live energetic
farmers OF this county. He deserves
credit for the energy he has exhibited in
demonstrating this new remedy, for ex-
terminating pest, so destructive in
the past to the grain.

What 10 q Gentleman ?

One need not be surprised that til
Tranby Croft affair receives so mud
public attention in this country as web
as in England. Underneath the Incl
dent are some vital issues peeping OUT
in an ugly manner. We look past the
question, did Sir don-Cumming
cheat at cards and there Is the more
important question looming up, what
constitutes q gentleman in the outworn
conventionalism of English aristoc-
racy?
The prince OF Wales has answered
that question in a manner that shocks
the sterling honesty of the whole Anglo
Saxon race. He has virtually said that
it is not incompatible with the code Of
honor Of prince to break the laws Of
the realm and defy those of hospitality,
to violate pledge of secrecy and whis-
tie brave man down the winds with
brutal Indifference.
In one act he slapped the civil CODE
the army regulations, noblesse oblige,-
the honor of his family and sense OF
British decency in the face, without for
one moment ceasing 10 pose as the first
gentleman OF Europe.
The question thus arises quite natur-
ally in the minds of serious and honest
men everywhere-what in the name OF
heaven do these people take . gentleman
to be?-New York Advertiser.

ready published, says that he is a
marked man." and that three men
have been murdered within a short
time under circumstances which strong
" indicate that Mr.. Green was the in
tended victim and escaped througkmis-
taken identity. A reporter found the
wife Of Michael J. Green yesterday af-
ternoon at No. &c One Hundred and
Sixteenth, street. Mrs Green admitted
that her husband, about eleven months
ago, had had some trouble with some
society and that since then he had
been travelling.
Mrs. Green had the appearance OF
a person who was constantly harrassed
with some great fear. and evinced the
greatest hesitaucy in answering any
questions. She said her husband for
merly was an agent. but that six months
ago he became an artist
The case in many respects resembles
that of DR.. Cronin. Green was one OF
fifty men who sailed in 1855 in the brig
antine Ishmael in the interest OF the
Fenians. Subsequently he was sus
pected of being spy, aid has been kept
