to do SO would be declaration of war, but
we may say to the Chinese authorities that
because we find this treaty works unequaiiy
and to the disadvantage of our people, we
desire to modify it we may give the re-
quired notice of six months or one year
we may then make another treaty
and give to the Chinese the privi-
ieges they practically accord to us.
We may say to them:-Your people shall
only come to the United States and shall
only remain here for the purpose of gen.
eral commerce you shall be welcome to
shall engage only in foreign trade; you
shall be excluded from all employments
not connected with or incidental to foreign
commerce you shall be allowed the privi-
lege of crossing our continent in pursuit
OF business; you may be welcome
to visit any port OF our land; you
may educate your youth in our col
leges-but you shall not send to
us an immigration to engage in the general
industries of our country; you shall not
send population to become permanent
residents in our country; you shall not
come into competition with our laborers;
you shall not engage in mechanical and
manufacturing employments; you shall not
own or till our agricultural lands; you
shall not fill menial employments. The
small number of Chinese now in this coun-
try, he concludes, are of little consequences.


Certainly We have right to require that
China shall allow to our people the same
rights and privileges which she asks us to
grant to hers and if the Chinese shut us
out from their country, or from certain uses
OF it, We may justly shut them out in like
manner.


But what comment this temperate sug-
gestion is upon the intemperate haste with
which both parties in the last Congress
voted to break and nullify solemn treaty
engagement, and bring stain upon the
country! There is reason to believe that
the Chinese government will readily
agree to such q modification of the present
treaty as Judge Field proposes. It's higher
officers have always asserted that they pre-
ferred to have their people stay at home
and deplored their migration to other
countries. The way is open, through hon.
orable negotiation, to exclude the Chinese
from this country but the Californians
ought to be careful not to do anything
which would check or impede their COM
merce with China. The day is not distant
when they will have to sell their wheat
and -four in China, or else see their most
important and remunerative crop remain
unstable on their hands. Two or three
good harvests in Europe will show the CAL
ifornia wheat growers the Importance of
every Chinaman whom residence in this
country has taught to prefer wheaton -four
to rice.

An extraordinary narrative of lawlessness
and terror in the South appears on another
page. A gang of ruffians, apparently orga-
nized four years ago, have practical control
of portion of the very county in which
Georgia's capital is situated, and for a long
time have been avenging fancied private
wrongs by committing various deeds of
arson and bloodshed. 1t is limited by some
of the inhabitants that certain members Of
the gang are younger sons of good families,
and as no robberies have been committed it
really appears that to enjoy the delights
of ruffianism is the only object which
the villains have in view. They have de-
stroyed the peace and prosperity of neigh
borhood once fourishing, and paralyzed
whom. no one would previously have dared
to cali towards. One of the strangest fea-
lures of the case is the insignifcance of the
causes to which the deeds of violence are
attributed. A physician befriended q negro
in trial involving small amount of money,
consequently his sawmill and cotton gin
were burned, he and his friends were fred
upon and their lives further threatened.
Others declare the trouble to have found
its origin in q fight between "moon-
sinners and revenue officers The odd
part of the story is the belief. expressed by
most of the natives, that the ruffians. who
ever they may be, live in a swamp hereto
fore supposed to be uninhabitable. As
detectives have been sent to the scene Of
the disturbance it is possible that some
thing more satisfactory than suspicious
may soon be reported, and that the maraud-
ers, instead of hiding in swamps, will be
discovered in comfortable homes from
which they have sneaked to do their
mischief.

FIeas on Dogs.


A correspondent of the Forest and
Stream gives a new remedy for killing
fleas on dogs. If you try it, give our
readers the benefit of your experience.
The following is his letter: Some years
ago | learned from a druggist in New
York that the managers Of an orphan
asylum freed the heads Of the unfortu-
nate waits from parasites by applying
tincture of fishberries to the scalp. /
tried the same thing on my setter pup
for feas, with the same success. Since
then secured another setter which was
also troubled with fieas, and one apDlica-
ton cured him. / did not use in either
case more than few drops, rubbing
them in on the nape Of the neck and at
the end of the back where the dog would
be in no danger of licking the place to
which the tineture had been applied.
My care in this regard may have been ex-
eessive, but as the stuff is poisonous, [
preferred to run no risks. This is sure
cure. and can be obtained from druggists
anywhere for few cents.

One of the queer things in business is


the propensity of people to seek irregu-


lar mediums for advertising. 1t is un-


accountable the prices that some men


pay for sticking their advertisements in


irregular places. Especially is this so
e when compared with their unwilling


ness to pay anything for advertising in


the regular channels. Men will pay


large sums for inserting their business


cards in section of frame in hotel,


bar room, street car, railway station, or


in hotel register, or an almanac, or


guide book, or annual of one sort or an
other. The byways they seek, or that
successfully solicit them, are innumera-
BILE. Likewise they will spend large
sums for printing special circulars,
and in postage to send them. In
all this they ignore the most essen
tiaI condition in advertising, namely
that it has the character and effect from
the medium through which it is given
to the reader. Advertisements thrust


into irregular and unbusinsss places


impress the general mind that the con-
Germ is of a similar character On the


other hand, an advetisment in general


newspaper of frst-class standing carries
che impression that the advertiser has
standing in his own community which
he is not afraid to show to his neighbors,
and that he does not shrink from compe-
tition with the best of them. These are
the different impressions that are made
on all minds by advertising in a journal
of high character circulation among the
reputable classes, and when seen in by
places and irregular and low channels.
Every one finds this in his own feel
fngs, if he would but think on the sub
ject. If any one is going in place to
buy, whether he be trader or buying
for his own use, and has to seek dealers
through advertisements, where will he |
look for them ? To registers, almanacs,
theater bill frames, in railway stations,
occasional advertising sheet or circular?
On the contrary, he looks to the most
reputable newspapers of the place, and
he thiRks that advertising in these gives
an assurance of the good standing of |
the advertiser and his business enter |
prise, and of the sufficiency of his stock. |

many fellow fiat on the road. At last
the order was given that any man who
left the ranks to fetch or drink water,
without leave from the captain of his
company, should be instantly shot in
front of his regiment. The men were
killing themselves, you know, by the
way they were going on.


"Abour MONDAY we got to K-where
we were to halt for an hour. For hours
we had been marching through the sand,
under that blazing sun. Just outside the
town was little brook, running by the
roadside. To march along by that water
with dried lips, swollen tongues, burning
eyes, was hard. One man stepped from
his place, filled his canteen and was back
in an instant This man was my BROTH

men in the front rank Of our company

them. I begged my captain for Gods
sake to spare me this duty, for the doomed
man was my own brother.

the order tor the last salute over the grave,

wretch had paid his debt. But when the
excitement was past, and I was once

heart I hoped for as soon
as my vengeance was complete and my

Watch for insect pests. If the trees are
infested with bark lice, take them at the
time the young are moving forward, and
kill them with wash Of strong soapsuds,
in which little carbolic acid is mixed, as
heretofore advised by the Prairie Farmer.
When canker worms are lnfesting
the trees, syringe thorous lilly with Lon
don purple and water. Set traps for cod
ling moths, or use hay bands about the
limbs of the trees.


Look for the first appearance of tent
caterpillars early in the morning and late
in the evening, when they are clustered in
their nests. After they get size they are
not SO gregarious. Have an old broom
along, fastened to suitable pole; with
this the worms and web may be easily
taken away. Kill them IL any manner
that may suggest itself. Beating on hard
ground is pretty efectual.


Do not scrape trees because the bark
is rough. Many people keep their trees
scraped down to the quick. They think
it looks nice. It is wrong; the bark is
for protection. If the trunk is mossy, it
shows the tree is not doing we'll, and that
it wants fertilizing. Scrape the old scales
away in this instance, wash with very
strong soapsuds, and cultivate and man
ure the orchard. So ifinsocts have found
a lodgment in the rough bark, scrape it
away SO the trunks may be easily washed.
Do not scrape to the quick; the bark is
the skin of the tree and should not be
wounded, A light scraping is good, but
moss shows that the soil is too wet, and
probably poor. Under-drainage mad
manuring will help this.


In going over your orchard, keep an eye
out for bad.shaped heads and abradine
limbs. When you find them, prune. d.
not wait for the regular pruning season
There should be none such in a well-reg
ulated orchard. Let your pruning be a.
light as possible. The more top, th.
more root; and in the West thick head il
not Objectionable. In. fact, the thicker
the better. so all parts Of the tree get .

more damage done by injudicious prun
ling than by no pruning at all.
