OUT WORMS.
The Most Destructive Of Early Insects Tor
Tender Plants.

The most destructive insect of the
early spring, especially to young and
tender plants, are the cut-worms,
which live in the soil and come forth
to feed only at night. They are not
often seen because they are concealed
during the daytime, but their work is
too we'll known to every one who has
tried to make an early garden or has
planted corn on grass sod. They
do their destructive work by crawling
out of their subterranean burrows at
night and cutting off the young plant
just at or beneath the surface of the
soil and eating away the part they
choose to use as food. Some species,
known aslClimbing Cut-Worms, climb
trees at night and feed on the yourg
buds and the leaves of trees, especial
ly fruit trees. They are of course
quite destructive. The work of cut
worms Is similar to that of earth
worms, excepting that the latter
generally draw the end of the plants
into their burrows after having broken
it off or pulled 1t out, while the for
mer generally eat away portion at
the base and leave the remainder
where it fell.
There are great many kinds or
species of cut.worms but they are so
nearly alike that only an expert can
generally recognize the differences,
and they are uniformly obnoxious,
working by similar methods and
generally attacking similar plants, in
the same manner. They are the
larvae, grubs, or "worms" of common
graylsh to dark-colorel and thick
winged moths or "rnillers" about an
inch or more in extent, which fly
around lights SO abundantly little
later IN the summer. They are
cylindrical, about a quarter of an inch
in diameter, and about an inch long
when fully grown, and dark or about
the color of the soil, marked with
stripes.
They pass the winter as immature
larvae in the soil and in the early
spring they become active and are
prepared to eat the first available
growing vegetation. They then feed
and grow fol- while, and next become
pupe or chrysalids in cells in the
ground. After short quiescent pupa
period they emerge asstransformed OF
winged moths, and fly about in search
OF their mates and suitable places &c
deposit their eggs, They die after
these are found and the eggs are laid.
AS with most winged insects, es
peclally of this general type, they dc
not take any TODD of Importance ir
this adult state. There may be two
or more broods per year, owing tc
temperature and food supply. They
are most destructive in the earl,
spring because then they are mos
voraclous and there is but little un
cultivated vegetation available 70
them to feed upon, and the cultivate,

ohtcaro,. oueer Hail.torm.

CHICAGO, July 22. With scarcely any warning Chicago was battered by the worst hailstorm in it's history. Dur ing the fall of the stones, some of which measured an inch in diameter, there were probably a hundred runaways, causing great eonsternation and result ing in the injury of score or more per sons. One infant child on the north side was crushed to death under pi- ano. The hail did not fall in balls, as usual, but in huge, jagged chunks, the sharp edges of which cut men and horses and which broke through plate glass windows as though they had been paper.

Ru.sia,s Policy In Manehuria,

PEKING, July %. According to the representations of Prince Ching, the president of the foreign office. Russia has not informed China of the with drawal of her opposition to the open ing of Manchurian ports and, accord ing to the same representations, nego- tiations between China and Russia have been suspended for the past month. United States Minister Conger conferred with M. Lessar, the Russian minister, supposedly regarding Man churian matters. The representatives of all the governments have received copies of Russia's note, and the clause prohibiting foreign settlements in towns to be opened excites opposition.

States Witness Protected by Guard

 JACKSON, Ky, July 22.-The milf- tary camp was alarmed at a. m. by the cry of fire and by shots fired by the provost guards Two details of troops were sent into town. The fire was near the depot, small house, but the people were wildly excited for fear 1t was repetition of the Ewen fire. In- vestigation showed it was of incendi- ary origin and negro is suspected. B. J. Ewen remained in the express car in which he was brought from Lexing- ton until a. m., when he was escorted to camp.
 He appeared at the courthouse under a strong guard and insisted that the grand jury first consider the cases of Crawford and Tharp, charged with setting fire to Ewen's hotel, in- which cases Ewen is not witness, as he was in camp with the soldiers when hiS ho- tel was burned. It is stated that Ew- ems friends want to ascertain how the pending inquiry proceeds before they testify in the bribery cases. While noth- ing can be learned from the grand jury, there are many reports about the courthouse that cause dissatisfaction.

 about him from faroff Virginia and that not by the short cut through east Tennessee via Knoxville-for Burnside had closed that route-but the round about course of the Carolinas.
 Still another combination for the de- struction of Bragg and Chattanooga was figured out on paper while Rose crans was toiling through the noun tains the last weeks in August. Grant proposed to take his Vicksburg army south reduce Mobile and then march north into the interior of Georgia be- hind Bragg, cutting the Confederacy in two the second time. This plan was overruled in Washington. Had it been begun, even not to say carried through, ChiclSamauga would never have been fought. Tn the event of Grants at tacking Mobile Rosecrans would have been given the task of threatening Chattanooga to keep Bragg busy, an other case of one army holding the head of the enemy while another skins his legs.
 Left to his own devices, Rosecrans pounded Chattanooga with shells and passed his army around 1t to the rear compelling Bragg to follow and leave Chattanooga empty, Burnside was toe far away to march in, and Grants ar my was temporarily broken up.

 the Protection of Detectives, Say
 ing, "T Shall Receive All Pro-
 tection From Irish PeoDIe.o
 DUBLIN, July p. - King Edward and Queen Alexandra were received by the lord lieutenant of Ireland, the earl of Dudley. and number of officials and were conducted to a pavilion where an address of welcome was read in be- aalf of the Kingstown municipal coun- eil
 Tn replying to the address King Ed ward said he shared in the sadness of multitudes of his subjects over the news of the pope's death. He said he remembered the kindness with which the pope had so recently received him and the interest which he took in the welfare of the English people. The king added that his visit came at time when new era is opening for Ireland.
 The king seemed perfectly delighted with his reception at Dublin and quite beamed with pleasure.
 The queen and Princess Victoria ap- peared equally gratifled.
 Some of the banners hung across the streets were most complimentary and patriotic.
 From Kingstown to the vice regal lodge is eight miles, and the whole distance was befiagged and decorated. . Sackville street looked particularly we'll with it's Venetian masts and fes- toons of roses.
 At Lesson street there was a great triumphal arch which everybody ad- mired. It has the appearance If a stone classical arch and is surmouHted with the union jack.
 At Trinity college there was an enor- nous gathering. The feeling of the students was vociferous. Handker- chiefs were waved, and the crowd took up the cheers started by the students.
 The city was again brilliantly illumi- hated, and dense throngs were parad- ng and cheering God save their maj sstiesr' who gave grand dinner party at the vice regal lodge. It is under stood that when arrangements were being made for the Irish tour King Edward resolutely refused to sanction the proposal of Scotland Yard to send ! number of detectives.
 T want no such protection" said the king. "AlI the protection want shall receive from the Irish people. On that pointI am perfectly satisfied"
 A special performance which had been planned for the Royal theater here tor July 24 has been countermanded in consequence of Pope Leo's death.

the army of Robert D. Lee. Moreover it gave Bragg an open road to Ken lucky if he chose to offset Rosecrans' march southward by second invasion across the Ohio. Bragg had maintain ed strong division at Knoxville under Buckner to keep the road open.
 Army movements are sometimes, though not often, surrounded with mys- tery which completely batfies the keen est leaderof the opposition. Bragg knew he was fated to be attacked at Chatta- nooga or in that vicinA by Rosecrans. He knew he might be attacked also by Grant with the Vicksburg army, either in conjunction with Rosecrans or inde pendent of him. These threatening at tacks must come from the west. While watching them the last days in August a new and wholly unlocked for foe took the field in east Tennessee, head ing for Knoxville. The new foe was new Federal army under General Burnside.
 Had Burnside's march been revealed to Bragg a few days earlier he might have ignored Rosecrans toiling through the mountains and sent help to Buck ner to hold Knoxville, for the posses sion of that point gave the Confeder- ates railroad connection between Chat tanooga and Virginia direct. The news from Knoxville, however, did not reach Chattanooga until Rosecrans had cross- ed the Tennessee river into Georgia and was heading for Dalton, on the railroad in rear of Chattanooga. Bragg was not to be allowed to fight for Chat tanooga from behind the defenses he had built with great care, but must march out and fight in the open, and that not merely to save Chattanooga, but to save his army from ruin. Should Rosecrans plant his army in the passes of the mountains of north Georgia be- hind Bragg the Confederate would be in a trap. He couldn't feed his army with Tennessee closed to him and Georgia cut off. He couldn't retreat, for mountains hedged him about mountains and Federal armies.
 A little more activity on the part of General Meade, who was confronting Lee in Virginia, and Bragg's army would have been smashed by Rose crans in the passes of north Georgia or it would have been cooped up in Chat tanooga. Help was to come to Bragg in the crisis Rosecrans was weaving
