The American Tribe and How to
DISTINGUISH 1t
BY Justin McGrath.

I serve the memory Of the first Ger
man soldiers in defense OF their adopt
ed country.
Steuben, the Prussian, had distin-
guished himself under Frederick the
Great. being made a lieutenant gen.
eral for his services in the Seven
( Years War. His work in organizing
disciplined body out OF raw Amer
lean troops was a large contributing
factor TO the final success of the
American troops at Yorktown.
De kalb Spoke the Language.
De Kalb. the Bavarian. who had
married the daughted OF Dutch mil
linnaire, came 10 America with La
fayette and was made a major seneral
in WashingtOn's army. While leading
Maryland and Delaware troops at the
battle of Camden he fell, pierced by
Il wounds To a British officer, Who
kindly condoled with him on his mis-
fortune, he replied:
Il thank you for your generous
sympathy, but l die the death always
PRAYED fOr-the death of a soldier
fighting for the rights of man.
That certainly is the language of
the American Tribe.
Many other names Of German
Americans who fought for the cause
of American liberty with distinguish
ed valOr are 10 be found in the an
nails of the Revolution.
And il may be remarked that. by
way of atOnement, one of the hired
Hessians Of the Revolution settled in
the United States. changed his name
from Kuster TO Custer. and gave TO
the United States as a grandson, Gen.
George A. Custer, the great Indian
fighter. whose name is gloriously ell
craven uponthe tablets of American
patriotism and fame.
In the Civil war Missouri might
have been lost TO the Union If X had
not been for Franz Sigel. Friedrich
Hecker and Peter Joseph OsterhauG.
all three of whom rendered the Union
distinguished and valuable service.
Osterhaus is still living in GernuSuy
at the age Of 90 years. His son re-
sently retired as commando of the
Atlantic fleet and his grandson Is an
instructor in the Annapolis naval
academy.
History recalls that it was the
steadiness of Gen. Louis Bleuker's
division which protected the retreat
OF the Union army at the battle of Bull
Run.
The valiant and valuable services
of Gen. Carl Schurz are familiar TO ali
who have any knowledge of the his
tory of the Civil war.

 Attachment

Charles B. Je1Iiffe petitioned the claims committee of the common coun- cil last night for abatement of the lien that for 40 years has lain against his property in Seaview avenue. Attorney Chapman explained to the committee last night that in 1871, c. F. HoIbrook transferred the property to F. N. Cur lis and A. w. Fuller. Tn 1879 it canns into the possession of MT. Jeldne. He supposed that the taxes for 1875 had been paid by Curtis and Fuller but it later developed that the assessment for that year had not been paid and a lien was filed against the property that clouds the title. The rate book of that year cannot be found Under the cir cumstances the property cannot be sold with a clear title. The committee will probably grant the petition and remove the lien

 Spraying With Arsenicals
 Tent caterpi1lars are readily de- stroyed by arsenicals sprayed on the foliage of trees infested by them. Amy of the arsenicaI insecticides may be used, as Paris green, scheeles green arsenate of lead, etc. The first two are used at the rate of s1-2 pound to 50 gallons of water. Milk of lime from to. 3 pounds of stone lime should be added to neutralize any caustfc effect of the arsenical on thre foliage. Arsenate of lead used at Ions of water.
 Even in the small home orchard Of a dozen or more trees it will be found profitable to adopt a system of spray ing which will control not only tent caterpillars but such serious pests as the cooling moth, cank erworTns. va rious -bud and leaf feeding insects. and which will greatly reduce in j1rst from the curculio.
 On stone fruits, such as cherry peach and plums arsenicals are likely. to cause injury to foliage and must be used with caution if at alL On such trees the arsenate Of lead is prefer able, as it is less injurious to foliage. and on all trees sticks much better. In spraying for the tent caterpillar only, applications should be made while the caterpil1ars are yet small, as these succuInb more quickly. to poisons than those more nearly full grown. and prompt treatment stops further defeliation of the trees.
