Tho Roll WeeTiI.

It is believed that since its intro
duction in Texas the boil Weeyil has
destroyed 100000 bales OF cotton,
with an estimated value OF one mil
lion dollars. The weevil is seldom
extremely injurious in the southern
part of Texas if stubble cotton is not
allowed to remain over the winter.
Apparently the weevil does not prom
ise to become very dangerous in the
western cotton countries The cult.
ural method is considered tie only
efficient remedy for controlling the
boil weevil. This consists in early
planting, the use Of varieties which
mature quickly, the application Of fer
tilizers, thorough cultivation and de-
struction of cotton plants in the fall,
as well as other material in which the
beetles may hibernate.

On last Saturday was observed all
over the South and in some places at
the North the one hundredth ami
yersary Of the birth of Robert q. Lee'
one of the purest, noblest and great
est men who ever lived. Eu!ogies lnnu-
merable have been written about.Gen.
Lee and although remarkable to say
none appear too fulsome nor have they
been too onumerous. He deserved them
all and all that has been said. His
character, when studied closely, is
the most admirable in all history.
Gen. Lee was truly great. His mem
ory will never die and the veneration
and respect accorded him is growing
every day and will last forever. The
South is proud of the honors paid her
greatest son, who was really one OF
the purest, greatest and best men OF
all history.

ANTICS OF CHINESE STUDENTS.
Quaint Manners of Boys Sent to This
Country to Study.

About the year 1870 the Chinese gov
ernment sent some 60 or 10 boys anu
Young men of high rank to the United
States at the instance and under the
guardianship of Yung Wing, gradu-
ate of Yale Of the class OF 1854. The
m1rpose was to educate these boys IN
American high schools and UNIVERSE
ties. and to give them such an ac-
ouaintance with American institutions
and customs as might render them
able to instruct their own countrymen
on their return to China.
The party was divided into groups
and distributed among the various
educational centers. Some Of them
were sent to Yale. They were, gener-
ally speaking. of high intellect, and
attained excellent rank both IN schol-
arship and socially; but they never
quite got rid of their national ten
dency to take things literally, and they
were tenacious of certain ideas os etl-
ouette to an extent which they never
wholly overcame.
One Of these Chinese freshmen was
invited to call at the house Of an emf
nent Yale professor Of science whose
reputation was worldwide, and he
promptly avai:ed himself of the privi-
lege: After remaining for q reasonable
length Of time, he rose to take his
leave. One of the professors daush-
sers expressed her pleasure at having
seen him, and asked him to call again.
This he promptly did in about ten
minutes, having apparently taken a
walk round the block.
On another occasion, says the
Youths Companion, the same Chinese
student was invited to the same house
to an evening entertainment. He was
seen by the hostess to come IN at the
door and to go upstairs to the dress
ins-room, but did not appear in the
| drawing-room She requested one OF
her student friends to so to the dress
ing-room and bring the Chinaman
| down.
TIE student found him in the dress
ing-room calmly smoking, and asked
him why he did not go down stairs. &c
which he replied that he could not dc
so because all the men and womer
were talking at once. and that, beinf
contrary to his ideas OF etiquette
would make him SO uncomfortaDl'
that he would prefer not to take par
in it. He remained in the dressing
room during the whole evening, smok
ing and talking with such of the mel
as dropped in there, and partaking o
refreshments which were sent to him
but to the babel below stairs he woult
not go.
One of the Chinese students was cox
swain of the university crew, and on
Of the best men at the tiller-ropes wh'
ever sat in boat. He had excellen
control of the men, and up to the tim
of the race itself did not exhibit an,
of his national peculiarities; but L
the excitement Of the race itself h
would at critical times give up the US
