It looks very much as though resumption of specie payments would before long become an accomplished fact- The Secretary of the Treasury is certainly doing better than was anticipated. Most of the hard-money advo cates cherish a healthy distiust of Western financiers, and from Mr. Sherman they ex pected many words and no practical measures. He has disappointed them, for his words have been tew, his measures prompt and practical though scarcely far-reaching enough. He is contracting the volume of greenbacks, wisely calling in the small notes first, and adding to the surplus fund necessary to resumption by greatly reducing the rate of interest on the government bonds. If this course be steadily pursued, good care taken that the greenbacks withdrawn shall not be reissued, and a suffi cient sum in gold be provided to meet the de mand for redemption in 1879, speedy resump tion of specie payments is assured. So far as the Secretary’s plan is developed it is wise, and unless he has some unpleasant surprises st. it..._1 of a sound currency. But there is a feeling of uneasiness in hard money circles caused by the apprehension that the Secretary may be swerved from bis course when Congress meets. There is a fear that he may yield to the silver money clamor from Illinois and Ohio. A surrender to the men who demand that the coin which they alliterativeiy term “the dollar of the Daddies’’ shall be made legal tender for all sums would undo much if not all the good work so far accomplished, and altogeth er prevent a' return to a stable and world acknowledged standard of value. Silver, which not long ago varied in value twenty two per cent, in six months, and which is now far more unsteady than greenbacks, would subject us to many of the evils from which we are now, with fair prospects of success, endeavoring to escape. Of course it would be preferable to irredeemable money because it has value and is not merely an ev idence of debt. But it certainly is scarcely more fit lor a measure of value than an India rubber yardstick would be for a measure of length. Its adoption would unsettle prices, and in the end increase rather than relieve the burdens of debtors, for ;the man who lends money or gives credit always exacts an an additional sum sufficient to reim burse him tor any possible loss through shrinkage of value. Silver, by general agree ment among nations, may be remonetized and its fluctuations partially done away with. Or this couutry may independently incree.se, without detriment to oar interests, the amounts for which it shall be legal tender; bnt any attempt to make it legal tender for unlimited amounts must result in disaster. The situation is clearly discussed in the report made by the minority of the silver commis sion appointed by Congress, a report which has just been printed. The document is signed by Prof. Fiancis Bowen and Repre sentative Gibson of Louisiana. The wise conclusions which they reach are these: First—The great changes which have taken place during the last year in the relative value or the two precious metals are attributable al most entirely to fluctuations in the market price of silver, since the prices of commodities generally, reckoned in gold, have been compar atively stable. Second.—These fluctuations indicate a con siderable fall in the value of silver, which has been produced by three causes: 1. By the great productiveness of the silver mines in the Com stock lode, which within a few years have doubled the average annual product of that metal for the whole world; 2. By a great dimi nution within the last five years of the demand for silver to be expoited to British India; 3. By the demonatizotion of silver. within|the same period, by Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and the limit put upon the coinage of it Ktr HnllonH Fran/in an/I tVia nthni< atetna nf tbe Latin monetary nnion. Third—These fluctuations prove that silver has become entirely unfit for use as a standard of value, and this action of Germany and other European states shows that they have become aware of this nnfitness, and have altered their system of coinage and legal tender accordingly. Fourth—The question whether the three causes here alluded to have permanently depre ciated the value of silver is one which does not at present admit of a determinate answer. Vague estimates and uncertain theories afford no safe grounds for legislation. Fifth—The so-called double standard is an Illusion and an impossibility. The prolonged attempts made both by France and the United States to establish snch a standard have been complete failures, causing much confusion and inconvenience, necessitating freqnent changes of legislation, and resulting only n the altern ate establishment of one or the other precious metal as tbe sole standard. Sixth—Silver is further unfitted to be the principal medium of exchange: 1, through its considerable weight and bulk in proportion to its value, being thus inconvenient for nse in large transactions and settling international balances; and 2, through its constant liability to loss by abrasion and clipping, the correspond ing loss in the case of gold being so small as to be almost imperceptible. Seventh—The proper place for silver in a monetary system is that of subsidary or token currency, which is considerably overvalued by law and made legal tender only within certain limits. These limits being indeterminate except by general considerations oi expediency, there is no valid objection to so far widening them as inconsiderably to increase the amount of silver now in circulatioo, paper money being with drawn to an equivalent amount, and the silver coins being made legal tender for any sum not exceeding $20. Eighth—the proposed “policy of continning legal tender notes concurrently with the me tallic standards’’ would be in the highest degree inexpedient and unjust, this paper money sys tem having been the chief cause of the paralysis of trade and industry under which the country has labored for the last three years, and Con gress having, as far back as 1800, solemnly pledged the faith of the country for tbe resump tion of specie payment at the earliest practic able moment. Ninth—Circumstances at the present time have made such resumption both practicable and easy within a very brief period; the paper cur rency having spontaneously contracted itself at the average rate of. $3,000,000 a month during the last twenty-two months. The report concludes with the following reccommendations, which are worthy of care fnl nnnaillorot linnrnwns nriilnln nrn mnn differ from them: 1. That dollars be coined each containing 345.(1 grains of pure silver, which shall be legal ten der for any sum not exceeding $20 and shall be issued only in exchange for paper currenoy be low the denomination of $5, and the $1 and $2 notes so received in exchange shall be immedi ately cancelled and destroyed. The silver dol lars, however,shall be receivable to any amount in payment of any duties to the government except the duties on imports. After January 1, 1878, notes below the denomination of $5 shall not be paid out either by the treasury or the banks, and shall not be a legal tender. 2. Gold shall in future be coined only at the rate of 22 6 grains of pure gold to the dollar, so that the half eagle or $5 piece may be almost the exact equivalent of £1 sterling; and the gold so coined shall be legal tender to any amount. Provided, however, that all debts and contracts, expressly made payable only in gold, and outstanding on the date of this enactment, shall be paid and discharged only by dollars, each containing 23,2 grains of pure gold, or by their equivalent 3. Out of paper currency received by the gov ernment by the collection of its internal rev enue, a sum not exceeding $3,000,0(0 each month, shall not be reissued, but shall be can celled and destroyed; and any deficit which may thereby be created in the treasury shall be supplied in the manner already authorized by law, namely: by the sale of any of the United States bonds which the Secretary of the Treas ury is now empowered to issue. Ex-Governor Hendricks is about to go to Europe, and has already bidden farewell to Indianapolis. In taking leave he also took occasion to remark that he had been elected Vice President. No ono will be inclined to condemn a disappointed man for grumbling. It is much better that Mr. Hendricks should say he is Vice President than to have him occupy that position. As the situation is alljthe harm he can do is in words. Gail Hamilton devotes her eighth letter in the Tribune to Stanley Matthews ot Ohio. The Tribune takes occasion to express its belief that Senator Matthews will read the “sharp and racy comments with good-nat ured enjoyment.” Perhaps so. The letter starts off in this lively manner: There seems to have entered since the 4th of March a new element into our polity, indeter minate but incessant, intangible but ubiquitous, ineffective yet powerful, unsubstantial as Mil ton s death— what seemed his head, the like ness of a kingly crown had on, and men called it Stanley Matthews. When this phenomenon first met our eyes in the rural district it seemed no bigger than a man’s band wresting his Con gressional chair from Mr. Banning, and nestl ing in modest corners of the reform newspapers as Mrs. Hayes’ brother Joseph’s wife’s hus band but like the Eastern genii unsealed from their bottle, it loomed up as we gazed and strode forth over the whole country. Our Gov ernment which had hitherto existed in three departments speedily took on a sort of fourth eBtate and divided itself into the legislative, the executive, the judicial, and Stanley Matthews. There was an angry buzz in South Carolina; Stanley Matthews had been poking his stick in to the nest. There was a scratching tshind the arras in Louisiana; Stanley Matthews had been scattering ratsbane and sugar. Gen Gar field suddenly found his way into the Sen ate sweetly but securely hedged up with roses; Stanley Matthews’ head popped up on the Senate side of the hedge. The Southern Democrats sat sucking their thumbs in suspicious silence, while their Northern brethren were curveting over their desks to count out the electoral vot:s, and lo! Stanley Matthews was distributing contingent nuts and candy in sealed cans. There was a jar and a hitch in the approaching extra session of Con gress; Stanley Matthews was tugging at the brakes. So did this Little Busy Bee Improve Each Shining Hour, till an admiring nation came t) put him in the same relation to the President that the old divines considered Satan to bear to the Almighty, “not equal in original power, but making up for it by an in fernal activity.” As Stanley Matthews had never been incorporat'd inf i the Constitution, and lacked the antiquity of the common law, some people began to grow restive. Despotism tempered by assrssination mav be a good enough form of government for Rassi a, bat many American citizens demurred at forsak ing the polity of the fathers and forming them selves into a Republic tampered with by Stan ley Matthews. Parliamentary government has its drawbacks, but even the chronic grumblers were hardly prepared to abolish Congress and establish a Patriarchy under the Federal Head ship of this Completa L3tter-Writ3r. The Shoe and Leather Reporter does not entertain a high opinion of our revenuo sys tem, which it denounces as oppressive and burdensome to the merchants of New York. It says: The laws on the subject, as now Interpreted, deal with every man who imports goods as if he was a predestinate rogue. He is an object of suspicion from the moment he presents an invoice and tenders payment of the duty. His papers are scrutinized to see if evidence cannot be found in them of an omission to comply with some one or more of the myriad forms that gather round him like a network at every step he takes. His mer chandise is overhauled and pulled to pieces to ascertain whether there may not be some pretext for raising its value. The general expectation in military circles is that the Russians will attempt the passage of the Danube this week, and that they will meet with no opposition very difficult to over come while crossing the river. The heavy fighting willibegin when the great fortresses of the Bulgarian quadrilateral are reaching, though these may be Invested by large forces while the main army essays the Balkan passes. The apprehended conflict in the Iowa Republican State Convention will not come off, both wings having determined to act in the spirit of Gov. Kirkwood’s suggestion that as nothing can be gained by an expression of opinion oi one way or me omer on me .rresi dent's policy the convention have nothing to say about it. Gambetta’s injunction that nothing be yond moral resistance must be thought of, ii a trifle superfluous in view of the fact thal MacMahon has supreme control of the army, and that consequently physical resistance meets death. Current Comment The Indianapolis Journal is quite certain that Gov. Williams, lately known as “Blue Jeans,” h?s Presidential aspirations. They say an Ohio ex-officer asked some ol his old comrades to pass resolutions reccom mending him to the President for office, and that they accordingly “indorsed” him, and suggested that he he sent to Patagonia, and all relations with that country be at once suspended. The Springfield Begiater speaks of Gen. M. C. Butler’s late apologetic letter as pa thetic. It is a pity Gen. Butler has not put more pathos into his daily conduct and less into his rhetoric. The Southern statesman is generally pretty fine in sentiments—on pa per. During the ceremony of decorating the graves of the confederate soldiers of Balti more, Capt. McHenry Howard, president ol the society of the army and navy of the con federate states, publicly announced his be lief that the lost cause wss a just one, and that there would be no reconciliation until the people of the North recognized the justice of that cause.

Our Sew York Letter. The Brother* Nnerury-Giving up the Swag-The Decapitated Collector* Geu. Grant ia Europe-Gail Hamil loo’* Lelier*. New York, June 9th 1877. Br-br-br-br-others I presume!” was the half exclamation, half interrogation which the famous wag Travers stuttered out in his inimit able way when he first met the Siamese twins. The fraternal tie between those prodigies of na ture could hardly have been a matter of con jecture to anybody, because it was ocularly manifest. The brothers Sweeney, Peter B. and James M. were not born at the same time nor conjoined by a palpable physical tie. Indeed, they were as unlike each other as possible. Peter was bright, keen and active. James was dull and sluggish. Peter was ambitious and intent on pnsbiDg his fortunes, pecuniary and political, with very little scruple as to the means he used. James was perfectly contented to live under the shadow of hia brother's wing, picking up such crumbs of patronage as he had the chance of throwing in his way, without any speoial exertion on bis own part The only desire that really had strong possession of him was the love of drink. That overmastered every other passion of bis phlegmatic nature He gave way to the self-indulgence so completely that it carried him early to the grave. At the time the great schemes of robbery were being carried into execution James M. Sweeney held the;nnimportant oflice|of clerk of the Superior, Court. It is a little curious, by tbe-by, that Sweeney's three immediate pred ---»uiucu uui uauijr. no hear a great deal—in talk and print—about the dignity of the judiciary and the spotlessness of the ermine, but the judges are influenced by part'san considerations in the appointments they make about as much as the aldermen, which is the reason why there are so many scaly attaches in our courts of—t was going to write justice, but I don’t like to misrepresent things so I will substitute the word law. Well, Peter B. naturally disliked having his share of the plunder paid over to him directly. It looked sale enough at tte time, to be sure, for there never was such a besotted idiotic community as this during that epoch of humili ation and crime. Still, be had been District Attorney, he had sent many a man to the penitentiary and state prison for doing once on a small scale what he was doing every day in an immensely large way. He was just ner vous enough about the business to deem it pru dent to have a dummy in his service. James was the very man to suit bis purpose. Besides being the pliant and unquestioning follower of his brother his mental and moral perceptions were altogether too obtuse to impress him with any adequate sense of the risk or the sin of acting as receiver of stolen property. What followed everybody knows. When it became dangerous for them to remain in New York any longer both Sweeneys fled, and after wards turned up in Europe. Connolly followed their example. Tweed and Hall staid and took the chances. So much of Tweed’s hoard was in real estate he couldn’t get away without abandoning millions. He had bought legisla tors, he had subsidized newspapers, he had done a large traffic with men of all grades, the lofty and the lowly. Venality seemed to him to be the universal law of his race. He had no doubt he could buy up twd or three jurymen as often as there was a panel secured to try him. His mistake was a fatal one; but it happened through his failure to realize the height and depth of the popular wrath at that precise mo ment. It was a paroxysm, terrible while it lasted but very soon over. Sweeney would have been swept uoder by it bad he been within its reach. He indicated bis reputation for sagacity by Btayiog away till it bad entirely subsided. Now he returns having first secured a pledge of im munity from criminal prusecution for sneb a form a a ofF^rtnallv nrntepta him frrtm nntr ms. Bible loss of bis liberty. He finds the story of the “King” virtually forgotten, the people as indifferent to it as to the calculations of last week’s weather, and nothing under heavens to keep it in sight and hearing except the exer tions of a lot of lawyers to whom it has been a prolific source of profit and notoriety. Lawyers, however slow they may be in tak ing care of the interests of their clients, are never backward in conserving their own. The city, having naturally got tired of paying cc loseal fees for infinitesimal services, is no long er an eligible point of attack from these de voted disciples of the doctrine ot the main chance. They seem, therefore, to have been casting about for new sources of revenue. Sweeny has always been ready and anxious to settle—not for himself! oh, no! ot course not! hit skirts are clear—it’s his “long lost brother, with the strawberry mark on the left arm” fcr whom he wished to make expiation while he was living, and whose purgatorial torments he seeks to alleviate now that he is dead. The game has been played with enough mystery to awaken public curiosity, and not with so plain an appearance of intent to compound a felony as to provoke general indignation. The bar gain is struck; the crime of the living Sweeney is to be buried in the grave of his departed kins man, and people shall speak of him hereafter in the language of Toodles “he had a brother!” Now all this performance, speaking in seri ousness, is shocking enough, from whatever point of view it is looked at To accept a mon ey consideration as an atonement for a great public robbery under any oircum9tances, is of extremely questionable propriety, but to take a sum so trifling in proportion to the amount stolen, is a blunder in a business light as well as upon the score of ethics. If such a rule were to obtain in our criminal courts, people would all have to turn thieves in self defence. The argument may be advanced that inas much as Sweeney was beyond the jurisdiction of our courts he could not be prosecuted and we might as well get $200,000 out of him as to go without anything. That is not a sound propo sition. He was an exile. The moral effect of his banishment remained to us. What under the sun he wanted to come back for, it is diffi cult to imagine unless he actually believed that the shallow pretence that it was hia brother and not himself who gathered in the spoils of lar ceny, would meet with some little credence. He must inevitably be a social pariah as long as there is any moral sense extant in the com munity. Nevertheless, while be was abroad he pointed a moral and therefore served a purpose. He can never be of equal value to his country men again, unless by standing as a living ex. ample that a people endowed with and sup posed to be capable of exercising the functions of self government, were mean aud base enough to condone his offense on his paying back to them three-fourths of one per cent of the money that he and his confederates had stolen from them. But perhaps that people will relieve themselves of the imputation of be ing parties to such transparent ohaffering by visiting their displeasure upon all the men who aided and abetted it. If not, if they pursue the same course of scandalous dickering lu the cases of Connolly and Tweed that they have in that of Sweeney, nothing can save them from the sweeping contempt of mankind. Orders were said to have beon received from Washington this morning for the decapitation of four Deputy Collectors of Customs. One of them is a battered veteran of the Union army. His body bears innumerable scars to attest his valor; his mind is as clear as crystal. If such oblations upon the altar of reform are necessa ry there is nothing more to be said, but one cannot so soon forget the brave fellows who were crippled in defense of the flag as to fore go a sigh of regret when they are suddenly be reft of the mean3 of livelihood. The compliments which are being bestowed so lavishly upon Gen. Grant in England, sim ply forecast the judgment of history. There is no question of the future about which there will be such complete unanimity, as in respect to the excellence of his military and civic ca reer. Those of his own countrymen who have misrepresented him ignorantly will be mortal ly ashamed of it, those who have calumiuated him willfully will welcome the oblivion which will be mercifully vouchsafed to their brutali ties. A twelvemonth hence there will be no dissent from the self evident proposition that the name of Grant will be second to none in the annals of the Bepublic then and thereafter as the synonym of modest worth and trauscen snt ability.

Where he was satisfied Northern men had gone South simply for the purpose of procuring office, he believed in discharging them to make room for representative Republicans, but where a Northern man had identified himself with the interests of the people, he believed in allowing him to hold office if he performed the duties efficiently.

Little Rock, June 11,—The town of Ar genta opposite this city is entirely overflown, Including the depots of the Memphis Little Rocks and Fort Smith railroads. The river is three feet deep near the depot. On the oppo site side the plantations above and below not entirely above the danger line are overflowed. The levee of Zeb Ward protecting over a thousand acres of cotton and corn above the city broke this evening, submerging the whole. Old citizens say the present is as high a rise as ever was known. The worst is not yet known. The river is higher by eighteen inches than last year. St. Louis, June 11.—The Globe-Democrat’s Bpecial from points on the Missouri river gives some additional news of the freshet in that Btream. At Kansas City the Missouri has fal len 4 inches today and the Kansas river about 2 feet, Very little land is visible opposite Kansas City. The town of Harlem is deserted and the railroad tracks are still under water, but passengers are transferred in omnibuses or eent round by other roads. At Boonville the warehouse of dykes along the river bank and large quantities of cordwood were swept away and a man’s house neatly submerged. Omaha, Neb., June 11.—Elk Horn river con tinues very high. Bottom lands are over' flowed, damaging crops as well as preventing planting. The Missouri is now seven feet and one inch and still rising.

FURTHER DETAILS OF THE r DISASTER. Twebe Towns Destroyed and 600 Lives Lost, _ r TUE LOSS ESTIMATED AT $20,000000. LIST OF VESSELS W RECKED. New York, June 11.—Pauama dates have been received to the 2d of June. Steamer Oroya, from Callao 28th ult., brings full details of the disasters on the Peruvian coast from the earthquake and tidal wave. The towns of Arica, Iquique, X’unta, Dela bas, l’abellon de l“ica, Chanavaya, Huailas, Focopilla, Cobija, Mejillones de Bolivia, Auto fogasta and Chavaral are nearly all destroyed. About GOO lives were lost. The destruction of property is estimated at twenty millions, and is confined mostly to the coast. The shipment of guano from the southern deposits will be indefinitely suspended, as all the facilities in the way of launching, wharves, water conden sers and buildings of all kinds have been swept away. The destruction of shipping was very great. The subjoined list gives particulars at X’abellon de Pica: Lost—American ship Alida, German ship 13. F. Gabian, English bark Lady BelleaD, and Italian barks Silvia B. and l’ietro B. Badly damaged—X'rench ship Courier de j Lima, English ships Prince Umberto and Fe- licia, and American ship Carrolton. Damaged—English bark Norham Castle, American ship St. Joseph, Norwegian ship j Nirain and English ship Mallgerda. I Dismasted—American ship John Bryce, English bark Prince Leopold, and English ship XTince Eugene. j Sunk—Norwegian ship Drot, first on the beach, Norwegian ship Dretsrand, second.

English barklvenil worth waa in collision with the J. Bryce and Gladam. The following is a report of shipping disas ters at Huai las: Ship Genera, Capt. McLoon, totally lost; she sank in fifteen fathoms; the crew were saved. The Geneva was loaded with gnano and ready for sea, and was to sail on the following morn ing. English ship Avonmoor was a 'total loss. The captain’s wife and three children, nurse, carpenter and steward were drowned. Capt. Canfield was saved, though one of his chil dren was killed in his arms. Captain Treck of the bark Arctic was on board the Avonmoor and was drowned. Crew 3aved on spars and planks. English ship Conway Castle driven ashore and filled. She was thrown back from the shore by the receding wave and sank in deep water. Crew and effects saved. English ship Conference totally lost. It is said that she was thrown on shore and soon afterward crushed under a mass of rock that fell. Crew saved in a boat. j Bark Gabriel Castro sank with all on board. Number unknown. Norwegian bark Atlantic was slightly dam aged. English ship William Lovett was badly dam aged. English bark Arctic was not damaged but Capt. Treck of that vessel was drowned on board the Avonmoor. English ships Conquerer, Tillery, Samuel, Eliza Campbell and Duke of Rotbroy were damaged. Norwegian ship Cleveland and Cgglan was damaged. American ship Resolute was slightly dam aged. The American ship C. F. Sergeant was slightly damaged. Also the American ship Theobald. The American ship Jeremiah Thompson was badly damaged. She arrived at Callao on the ICtb with ten other foreign ships dam aged. At Punta de Lobos two vessels were lost— the Havre (French) and Shamrock (English) —and fourteen ships were more or less injured. The loading fleet, or at least the survivors, must come back to Callao for repairs. Two have arrived already, bringing some of the victims of the disaster, who are properly cared for by the authorities. On shore the government building, water condensers, tanks, wharf and everything ex cept a few huts back of the town were destroy ed. At Santa de Lobos two vessels were lost, the Havre (French) and Shamrock (English). Fourteen ships were more or less injured. The loading fleet, or at least the survivors, must come back to Calloa for the repairs they re quire. Already two vessels have arrived bring ing some of the wealthier victims of the disas ter who are properly cared for by the authori ties. It is thought that the losses’are greater than 1868, and the effects upon Peruvian affairs will be particularly disastrous. Autofagasta, Mexillones, Tocapilla and Ca bija, towns on the coast of Boliva, met with same misfortune of earthquake and tidal wave at the same time, and are in identical condition with Iqnique and Arica At Autofagasta the at mosphere was illuminated by a red glare, sup posed to proceed from the volcano of San Pedro de Atacana, a few leaguos in the inte rior. The sea completely swept the business portion of tbe town during four hours. Vessels ill tut) uaruur stuuu uut auu strauici /xuiaziuu, about to commence discharging when the move ment took place, had a narrow escape from destruction. Several lives were lost. Mexillones was visitsd by a tidal wave 1G5 feet in height. Two-thirds of the town was completely obliterated. Guano shoots, wharves, launches, boats, water distilleries, railway sta tion, locomotives, cars and furniture were all swallowed up by the sea. At Mexillones six persons were drowned. At Tocapilla little or nothing remains of the town. A mine four miles to the eouthwest sunk in smothering 200 women, of whom 40 were conviets wives. Cobija, the principal town on the Bolivian coast, lost three-fourths of its houses. The wave, 35 feet high, swept along the main business streets and left it as level as a desert. Wharves and launches were all carried out to sea, church spires were knocked over and the cemetery suffered. All of these towns are in the greatest distress. Water is wanted. The condensers, being on the very sea shore, were the first objects overwhelmed by the wave. Peru must attend to her own suffering. The Panama Herald says from the interior of Bolivia it is more than difficult to send supplies to the coast, and we are hopeful that Chili may have stretched a helping hand to the unfor tunate. Chili has esoaped without injury. The northern parts of Peru were damaged but little, although the sea was running remarkably high. On the evening of the 14th Lima and Callao were visited by a severe shock of earth quake, lasting 22 seconds, and causing general alarm, but little damage. Fears were enter tained that it might be a second edition of the Southern disaster, but a telegram from Mol lendo announced jno repetition of the catas trophe had taken place. The people of Callao were so frightened that they emigrated almost en masse to Lima and Bellavista, fearing their town might be engulfed by the wave that generally follows these convulsions of nature. The government of Lima chartered the steamer Copialpo, and organizing a relief com mission under the presidency of the Minister of Beneficiencia, loaded a vessel with provi sions, clothes, &c., and some 50,000 gallons of water and despatched her on the 10th for the South. 100,000 soles in silver coin wore also sent to be distributed among the unfortunate. A commission of engineers accompany the expedition for the purpose of lending assist ance and making a full report of the extent of the disaster, which can now only be generally estimated. No accurate statement of the loss of life can now be made, but it probably will not exceed 600. The property lost may be cal culated at $20,000,000, and possibly more, as the government is a heavy loser in guano and UIH1UVV) UUIUOUiUUl VU VUU WHCV KUU UUUIO^U is greater than that caused b.y the tidal wave of 1808, but in the interior the losses are compara tively small. _ Accidental Shooting. Bennington. Vt., June 11.—Yesterday af ternoon a young man named Blow, accompan ied by two young ladies, cousins ef the same name, and their little fonr year old brother, were walking in a held near Suffield Blow's house, east of Bennington, the young man having an old shot gun which was capped but supposed to be unloaded. To frighten the girls he snapped the guu at them, when going oil it hit one in the right breast and tbe other in the back. From one wound 70 shot holes were counted and possibly it is fatal. The other was slightly wounded. Fire in a Coal Mine. Pottsville, June 11.—The proprietors of Middle Creek mines at Tremout are much alarmed at the discover; that tbe mines are ou fire and burning to a considerable depth. The hre originated last Saturday by a blast, which ignited the gas. An explosion followed, doing considerable damage to tbe walls, doors and props. It is believed seven breasts or gang ways are burning, and that the hre is making rapid progress. A large stream has been turned into the mine. No miners were hurt by the explosion. fnETEOKOEOUlCAE.

The Russian Plan of Crossing. London, Jane 11.—A special from Vienna to he Times says: It would appear that the llus iau points for crossing the Danube will be hosen east and west of the Turkish quadrilate al, and while the eastern column keeps in heck the Turkish force massed about the fort esses the western colnmn will act as a field rmy operating against the flank or rear. The ine chosen for the operations of the western olumn is a most advantageons one, for along t lies fair roads over the Balkans. Although he Turks are outnumbered by the Knsslans, •ct by taking up a central position between Jleuna and Bela with the help of monitors and latteries, they may throw considerable obsta les in the way of crossing. Fire Russian Torpedo Boats Sunk. Constantinople, June 11.—Admiral Musta >ha states that five Bnssian torpedo boats were lestroyed in the attack on the Turkish iron dads at Salma mouth of the Danube. HIE MONTENEGRIN CAMPAIGN. Desperate Fighting iu Buga Pass—Fire Bays Hand to Hand Fighting—Turks Repulsed. New York, Jane 11.—A correspondent at lastel Nuova gives the following account of the ighting at Duga Pass: After making his dispositions with great care ind seizing several important positions in front >t Krystaz and at the immediate entrance of be pass.Sulieman Pacha advanced with his sev iral battalions and mountain artillery to force die defile held by the Montenegrins. The Turks ion&ht hr flint of shppr fifrht.incr fv» opi/a t.ha lends of the road so as to place their guns in a losition to support the advance of their col lmn. For the first two days the Montenegrins slow y retired before the well denloyed Turkish ine, until the narrowing ground and increasing lifficulties of the road forced the Turks to re luce their front. Then the concentrated fire of ,he Montenegrins, delivered from every rock ind gully of the rugged mountain slopes began ;o tell with frightful effect ou the Turks. Amid a pefect hail storm of bullets the Turkish in 'autry struggled onward, encumboring the road with dead and wounded at every step. The guns posted before Qolia shelled the defile in idvance, but with little effect, as the Montene grins were well covered, and suffered only when ,he Tnrks desperately charged them amid the rocks and brushwood. The fighting on the third day was almost band to hand, bat although the Turks gained ground slowly, it was at a terrible cost in men. t'heir superior numbers enabled them to push ip supports to take the places of the slain, but it seemed as if the head of the Turkish column of attack was melting away as before a furnace. Notwithstanding the stubborn bravery of Sulie man Pacha’s troops, the fourth day’s fighting found them no nearer the key of the pass, and they had already lost nearly 3000 men. Still they endeavored to maintain possession of the ground they had gained at each a fearful cost, but that effort was hopeless; the hardy Mon tenegrins repulsed every attempt to advance, and it finally became a question of covering the retreat of the exhaused column. This was be gun by a furious onslaught on the Montenegrins by the troops farthest in advance, bat it was inickly repulsed by a murderous fire. The re treat now became general, and the victorious mountaineers speedily followed the retiring Turks, killing immense numbers and re-occu pying the ground as the Turks abandoned it. In this prolonged bloody combat, lasting over five days, the Turks lost over 4000 men and a quantity of arms was left on the field. The Montenegrins lost 700 men. The disproportion in casualties is due partly to the natnral strength of the position and the necessary ex posure of the Turks during the attack and re treat. The failure of the Turks to force the Duga Pass is believed to insure the capitulation of Nicsics within a short time, bat it is likely that iulieman Pacha may again attempt to relieve the town. LOBD DERBY’S NOTE. Russia’s Reply Cotaninnicated to all the Do wer«. London, Jane 11.—A correspondent in Ber lin teleeranlis that after the Russian renlv to Lari Derby s note, which pointed out the limits hf England’s neutrality, had been presented in London by Count Schouvaloff, Baron Obril, the Russian Ambassador in Berlin, confidentially communicated its contents to the German gov ernment, leaving a copy with the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Roumanian Prime Minister Bratiano has gone to Ploiesti to make definite arrangements con cerning Roumanian participation in military operations. The Grand Dube Alexis has arrived at Paris from Brest. The Political Correspondez has a telegram from St. Petersburg denying that Prince Gorts chakoff has obtained leave of absence for a six weeks’ tour. A special from Constantinople affirms that Turkish Minister at Athens has received a des patch ordering him to ask for an explanation of war preparations. The despatch, however, has □ot yet been presented to the Greek govern ment. A telegram in the Political Correspondez from Cettaro reports that all the Turkish forces near Kirstag are concentrating and preparing Eor an attach for the relief of Nicsics. All Poles have been ordered to leave Bucha rest. Among the persons thus banished is the Bishop of Nicopolis, who is a Pole and suppos ed to be strongly anti-Russian in his sympa thies. A correspondent at Bucharest says there is jood reason to believe that Russia bas promised to place Servia in possession of the territory called Old Servia, as the price of compliance with Russian behests respecting the preserva tion of a passive attitude by the principality luring the present war. It is generally under stood that a declaration of war by Servia would he immediately followed by Austrian interven tion. It is stated that many Moslems in Bosnia are exasperated at the burden imposed by Turkish war contributions. They express discontent in in open manner, and appear to have lost all confidence in the Porte. They are strongly in favor of incorporation with Austria, and are not likely to render much more aid to the au thorities at Constantinople. The Turkish Chamber of Deputies have voted the credits required by the Ministers of War ind Marino ami ailnntod a rnunlnfimi in fannr of suppressing a number of superfluous posts in the various departments.

It is proposid to extend the Congress street line down ovf r the hill to Forest street, thence throng h that street to Portland street and so on out to Bradley’s Corner. This change will save a heavy hill near the Alms House, and by going through Forest street it takes them well up Bramhall Hill anil the rest of the grade is very easy. IV, this means the cars on Congress street will tun from Munjoy Hill to Bradley’s Corner, and the new line can be op erated much cheaper than if it was located as was first suggested. The “Friends” at Peak’s Island Sunday. —Two meetings reported held by the Friends at Peak’s Island Sunday afternoon and eveoiDg^ At 2.30 p. m.

At 7.30 W. Jacob preached “Welcome to Je sus.” from John vi, 37, “Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise casi uui. mo appeal was followed by the singing of “Just as I am, without one plea,” by the congregation. *T The Odd Fellows’ Excursion.—About six ty of the members of Portland Eacampmen1 met at Odd Fellows’ Hall last evening and had a drill in banquet ball preparatory to their Dex ter and BaDgor excursion. This excursion promises to be a graed affair, in fact the affair of the season. There will be upwards of one hundred men in line and they are to have a special train at their command each way. They leave the hall at 5.30 tomorrow morning, and the train will leave the station at six o clock sharp. ___ The Texas Colony.—Last evening a public meeting of tlie Temple street colony was held at Arcana Hall. Interesting addresses were made in regard to the state of Texas by Colonel Allen of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Dr. Brown and Mr. Hanson of Boston. This colony is now in a very prosperous condition, having six. ty-five members. Singular Accident.—Yesterday afternoon a little daughter of Bartholomew Foley, living as Libby’s Corner, was playing in the yard when she fell upon a scythe and cut one of hej arms so nearly off that it was necessary to am potato it It was feared the child would not re cover, as she bled profusely. the friends. Conlinuaiiou of the Yeurly Heetintf MORNING SESSION opened with prayer by Amos M. Kenwortby of Indiana, Jeremiah Jones, David Douglass and William Thompson. At the conclusion of these devotions, the doors were opened and the meeting took up the following business: On calling the roll of delegates all answered to their names but three. The meeting de cided to omit calling the roll at all the sessions till the last day. Samuel Miles expressed a “concern” to visit the Women’s meetiDg. liberty was granted. Reports from the Quarterly Meetings were made, giving the necrology for the last year, as follows: NECROLOGY OF YEARLY MEETING. Anna Mott, Elder, Rhode Island Mo.

A communication was received from the women’s meeting s.ating that they were united in the prospect of Samuel Miles visit ing their meeting, and that the present was a suitable time. Jas. Taylor was requested to accompaoy him. Suitable remarks, suggested by the reports, were made by Eli Jones, Wil liam Thomson, William Jacob, Amos Ken worthy, Chas. Tabor, Obadiah Chace, and Lemuel Jones. The queries and answers were then read and occupied the remaining time of the session. Tbe afternoon session was also devoted to this business. From a summary the condition of the Society, through the Yearly Meeting, is very prosperous. The women’s meeting was occupied at both sessions with the queries and answers. These queries relate to the condition oi the different smaller “meetings,” and are of no particular interest, save to those especially concerned. Last evening there was a public meeting at City Hall, on the subject of education. Au gustine Jones of Boston, introduced the speak er of the evening, Hon. Pliny E. Chase, Pro fessor of Philosophy in Haverlord College,Penn sylvania. Prof. Chase gave a very exhaustive lecture on tbe present aspect of moral and in tellectual culture, an abstract of which follows. He was followed by Wm. Forster Mitchell of Lynn, and Francis T. King of Baltimore, advo cating a more liberal education among the Friends, and endorsing the lecture. The meet ing was closed with brief remarks by William Witherali of Canada. The first American college and the Society of Friends were founded in the same year, (1635) and have thus grown up together. The one adopted as its motto “Christo et Ecclesias,” the other preached “The mystery that hath been hid from ages and generations, which is Christ in you the hope of glory.” Neither has at all times perfectly fulfilled the trust given'to it, but making such allowance a3 Christian chari ty requires, both have made high attainments. No Christian denomination has ever made higher profession than the Society of Friends. None, therefore, has greater reason to ask itself whether its practice has been in accordance with its professions, and whether it has been faithful in tbe performance of all its duties. You have gathered tonight to push these inquiries iu a S^UUAl UUCl/VIUU) bV> DCO nUDlUCl IUO opuill Ut your testimonies upon the subject of education have been carried out. George Fox sought to establish schools to instruct “boys and girls in whatever things were civil and useful in crea tion.” The Society may point with satisfaction to the schools under their charge, and to the in tellectual vigor which has always characterized the Society. But when you compare the con dition of your schools with those of other de nominations, you must confess that yon have been outstripped in the race. Harvard is one of the leading universities of the world. Ha verforu is in its infancy. One numbers its stu dents by hundreds the other by tens. The old er college does cot look with contempt on its younger sister, but has always welcomed her students to its halls, opening the doors so wide ly as to claim no superiority in standing. Nor has there ever been abuse of these privileges. If you believe that you have any speoial duties in the service that Harvard has adopted for its motto, Haverford has laid a foundation {on which you may safely build. You see every where the thriving colleges of other denomina tions, but the Friends keep strangely aloof. The competition and the wordy warfate be tween the partizans of the different sectarian colleges inspired confidence and respect, that paved the way for the present spirit of toler ance. When that tolerance degenerates into indifference, the last days will be worse than the first. Drop everything that is denomina tional, and yon will have left, some vague philosophical abstraction, that will give no sat isfaction. The “Absolute” of the metaphysi cian, the “Supreme” of the scientist, the “All” of the pantheist represent conceptions towards which the mind is irresistibly driven, but at which all meaning is lost. That which is void of relation cannot be made the subject of thought by beings who think only under rela tions. But, if we admit relativity and attribution we see that God would cease to be Almighty, if He had not power to reveal Himself in re lations of love and sympathy to His intelligent creatures in whom, He has implanted a desire for love and sympathy. The maxim, “In es sentials, unity; in non-assentials, liberty; in all thjngs, charity”, seems to be accepted by all Christian denominations. The sects of the past, about whose distinctive creeds no one troubles himself now. have done a grand work and though the present sects may be united in a Universal Church, each will have done its work in presenting truth in some new aspect, and have assisted in laying the foundations for the Broad Church of the future, in which the Friends may, perhaps, be regarded as the first communicants. What are these essentials of doctrine? Hu man responsibility for violation of moral law, human inability to know or do anything with out divine grace, redemption from sin, or con demnation through the wilful rejection of the offerings of divine love. There will always be a large class, who acknowledge a Omnipotent ruler whom they delight to worship as their Heavenly Father, but through fear of “dividing the substance,” they hesitate to speak in terms that might be interpreted as claiming a knowl edge of mysteries beyond their comprehension. There will always be a much larger class, who are so filled with a sense of their own weak ness that they yearn after more intimate rela tions with their Creator. There will always be a third class, rejoicing in the belief that God is a SDirlt, who is to be worshipped in .spirit and in truth, who will ever guide them spiritually, and who requires nothing but a simple child like obedience to their perceptions of duty. In like the Friends, believe that the most desira ble development of our moral faculties can only be attained through the study and ac ceptance ot all the primary phases of belief. Those who adopt this Catholic view, will ad mit that religion as well as science should al ways be progressive and aggressive in the adaptation of itself to the changing require ments of human progress. There will always be a call for progressive denominational instruction, and consequently for denominational schools. It behooves you to ask yourselves what you can do in supply ing this demand. There can be no doult that George Fox accepted as essential the doctrines commonly called “evangelical,” but believed it to be his special mission to direct the people to the “in-dwelling Spirit.” George Fox claimed no originality, He only sought to re call the church to its ancient standard, to heal the apostasy that had gone over all nations. In preaching, he became a Protestant of the Protestants, by proclaiming that the Scriptures can bo only understood through the in-shining Spirit. It is well to guard against heresy by clear statements of necessary principles, but a fear of heresy is one of the signs of a weak faith. Truth is impregnable, and should court criticism rather than shun it. Quakerism has nothiDg to fear save from its owu fearfulness; nothing to hope save from such hopefulness as springs from its everlasting work of truth. Our children with the natural curiosity of youth, fascinated with the rapidity of discov ery, may easily be led to confound hypotheses with facts unless we provide for their enlighten ment. They may easily he led to see that all truth is harmonious, that there are different kinds of truth, adapted to different spiritual requirements. Spiritual and intellectual cul ture cannot be divorced. God has joined them together by giving us minds which are at once receptive and inquisitive. Both seek for truth. That your children may understand this divine harmony of truth, you should educate them in such schools as you can control, aud by Buch instructors as understand your principles. By thus educating them you restore your society to its former usefulness and prepare the way for a lit entrance into the sohool of Christ. This is often called an age of materialism, but if we oompare it with others, there is much in its favor, while the faults of the age lie partly at your doors and at the doors of others who have neglected their religious duties. Most investigators limit their labors to fields in which there is the greatest likelihood of dis covery, and in which interest is most easily excited. The great end of education is spir itual, and we have cause for congratulation in the unconscious shaping of physical tbeoiies by spiritual intuitions, l’rof. Chase quoted length from Newton, La Place, Draper, Huxley, Tyndall, and other eminent scientists in support of this proposition. Do not fear to acknowledge the ignorance you cannot con ceal. Be bold in asserting what yon know and science wilt gladly shake hands with you, and sit at your feet to learn truths which supple ment her own discoveries. Do not hope or desire to banish either bigotry or radicalism. Men will always differ in their thought. Men of one idea fill a useful place in the economy of culture, lor their very extravagance may serve as a warning; their devotion as an example; their leadership as an inspiration; their an tagonism as a usefnl restraint. Few walk so safely in the golden way that they aro uever misled by the mists of error. As with indi viduals, so with ages and nations. Each represents a certain stage of progress. Although history seems to repeat itself, each repetition is shaped by new conclusions. Soc rates and Plato left an impress upon all later thought that can uever be obliterated. Tbs religions of antiquity prepared tbo way for Christianity. Christianity is the culmination of all philosophy as well as the culmination of all religion. Few are aware of the influence it has exeited on the thought and mental calibre of every individual in modern civilized com munities. No day commended Paul’s Catholic spirit more folly than our own. Though science is so far aware of a realm beyond its reach as to acknowledge the fact, it does not maintain a becoming humility. There is no doubt that too exclusive observation in the study of outward nature leads ns toward ma terialism, and materialism will tend to dwarf our spiritual growth. The maxim that “we Lave a higher warrant for believing in God than for believing inany other truth whatever,” should be impreesed on every mind, and espe cially on the minds of physical investigators. A declension of physical growth is a natural consequence of a narrow intellectual culture. The remainder of Prof. Chase’s address was an earnest appeal to the members of the Society of Friends to give a more cordial support to their schools.

Resolutions of Respect.—At a special meeting of the 17th Maine Regiment Associa tion, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, It has pleased the Grand Com mander of the Universe to remove from our association our late comrade, Assistant Surgeon William Wescott, therefore, be it Resolved, That in the death of Assistant Surgeon William Wescott this association mourns the loss of a comrade who was ever ready to do all that laid in his power for the welfare and comfort of the sick and wounded of the regiment while in camp or in the hospi tal of the battle field, a friend and comrade who was dear to us all, a citizen whose upright and noble life was a standard for us, his com rades, to follow. Resolved, That the heaitfelt sympathy of this association be extended to his family iu their affliction, assuring them that while they monrn the loss of a kind husband and indulgent fath er, tins association mourns the loss ol an hon ored comrade and one whose memory will ever be kept green in the hearts of his associates until the last one shall be mustered out.

An opportunity is not often afforded to hear Spohr’s works, as he, although a famous com poser, is much more popular, on the other side of the water than here. His Oratorio,“The Fall of Babylon”, was composed especially fora musical festival in England, where bis works are held in high admiration. “The Last Judg ment” is considered one of the best of his works. The size of the hall which they occupy obliges the society to limit the number of their tickets, but a few season tickets are for sile by Mr. John L. Shaw at City B ji'ding.

Yesterday aftornoon a special meeting of the voters of the town of Deering was held at the town house to hear the report of the committee upon the building of a high school buildiog aud for tbe transaction of other business. There was a good attendance and a lively interest was manifested in the business of the meeting E. B. Dennett, Eeq was chosen moderator. The committee reported, favoring tbe build ing of a high school building at the lead of l’leasant street, that being near the exact cen tre of tbe town. Tbe building recommended was TOxli." feet, two stories and with a cellar for coal sod heating apparatus. If of brick it would cost $t>500, including tbe lot, while wood would be $1000 cheaper. It was proposed to finish tbe lower story only this season. It was was thought tbo lower story would accommo date 10O scholars. It was voted to accept the report of the committee. David Torry and Col. Johu E. Cobb and others thought it would be better to nuke arrangements for the educa tion of the pupi’s of the towu at the West brook .Seminary. This was objected to by sev eral. Mr. Elwell, of tbe committee, said that Cape Elizabeth had a high school which was as good as the Westbrook Seminary for tbe ed ucation of the youug, aud he did not kuow why Deetiog could not have such a school. Mr. Adams, of the Argus, took the same view of the matter. The vote accepting the report of the com mittee was then reconsidered and a vote to recommit and instruct the committee to see what terms could be made with the trns. tees of Westbrook Seminary for the education of the pupils of the town was lost. Capt. Coyle thought that tbe building pro posed was too cheap for such a towu. He would have it cost $10,000. Several ethers spake to the same effect. A motion to make the ccst $0500 was lost. A. J. Chase objected to the location, as being too near the trottiog park, and also that the lot was too small. He wanted to make the sum to be raised $7500, in order to allow the committee to secure a better location. This was lost aud it was voted to raise $5500 for the purpose of building a high school buildiog, aud the select men were authorized to loan the money on a form r.f Trnnuo n At t a avaiaiI ton Andrew Hawes, David MouUod, John C. Pbenix, Geo. W. Bailey and John M. Adams were appointed as a building committee. The matter of abolishing the school districts and the geographical survey of the town was laid over until the March meeting. Installation at Gorham. Bev. Henry S.

The council then proceeded to examine the pastor elect. Bev. Mr. Fenn propounded many questions which were satisfactorily answered and fully established the faith and understand ing of the pastor in the great doctrines of the Orthodox Congregational church. After a very lengthy and ciitical examination, partici pated in by Bev. Dr. Barbour, Bevs. Messrs. Torry, Chase, Blanchard, Bosworth aud Wis wall, which lasted over two hunts, the council unanimously voted to recommend the installa tion. The installation took place in the evening and was very fully attended. The introducto ry services were by the Bev. J. C. Trowbridge; installation sermon by Prof. William M.

THE PRESS. THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Grasshoppers. The ravages of these destructive insects have been mainly confined to the Western Btates, where a mild climate and warm sandy breeding places have afforded favorable op portunities for their development. It has also been suggested that their rapid increase is largely owing to the fact that the broad and level prairies give them such ample and un obstructed room. The absence of large bod ies of water, and of mountain ranges; the almost entire destitution of trees and forests preventing the accustomed haunts where birds and insectivorous anima's take up their abode, have contributed to give them almost undisturbed possession. The efforts of individuals and of communi ties to stay this destructive plague have pfoved so fruitless that the aid of the state and national governments has been invoked; and in response thereto commissions have been appointed and appropriations made* Trobably all artificial methods will prove fail ures until brought into harmony with natur al forces; or until they follow and assist the plain instructions which may always be de rived from the well-balanced and compensat ing laws of Nature. When groves surround the farmer’s home, and forests skirt the streams and the ridges, and the myriads of parasites which prey upon insects are summoned to their work, the destructive reign of the grass hoppers will be over. As however, even in our northern regions we are not wholly free from the inroads of these destroyers, it behooves us to meet them at the outset, and to prevent them from getting a foothold, rather than wage an unequal war after the state is overrun. Wherever the conditions are favorable and the situation corresponds with that where the grasshopper finds a home elsewhere he will he pretty sure to come, and usually he comes to stop. On broad intervales stretching out in treeless expanse, with here and there a sandy slope or swell where the original soil has been overspread by alluvial deposits, he finds a congenial place. In several such lo calities in our own state we know that the grasshopper has already taken up his abode; and although our seasons have not proved so uniformly favorable as at the west he is still increasing in numbers and in the consequent capacity for mischief. The same rule holds good here that applies to the destruction of the caterpillar or the potato-bug, or other pests of the farm—that individual action avails but little; there must be union of individuals and communities and concert of effort in order that success may follow. Everyone, however, can invite the assistance of the birds and give them all needed facilities for their work. Western en tomologists report that snow birds devour great quantities of the eggs of grasshoppers during the winter. They also state that be side those birds that are well known to be their enemies, the woodpecker, cuckoo, cat bird, fly-catcher, and the crow- blackbird also feed upon them. The aid of reptiles also is not to be despised, as toads, frogs and snakes all wage a war of extermination against them. From the poultry family much assistance can oe obtained as turkeys, ducks hens and chickens all feed upon them voraciously, thus ridding the fields of a pest, beside diminish ing the cost of their own sustenance. Suita ble quarters should be provided for the fowls where they will be sheltered from storms and protected from skunks and foxes, and where their eggs can be safely deposited and some supplies of food furnished. Some of the most effective methods adopted at the West for the destruction ot grasshop pers are used when they are young, such as digging ditches with perpendicular sides into which they fall but from which they are una ble to climb, burning the dried grass of the iicma ui pucs ui urusu auu straw deposited in different places into which they go for shel ter,traversing the fields with long stretched out frames ou which combustible materials can be consumed, or wheeling about broad and shallow vessels containing kerosene into which the flying insects will often drop. We copy from the Prairie Farmer some additional suggestions taken from the first bulletin of the U. S. Entomologidal Commis sion. A net which has done good service, made by Miy. J. G. Thompson, of Garden City, Minn., is made as follows: Two pieces of common batten about 16 feet long were used as frame-work for the mouth of the net, one for the bottom and one lor the top. From the end of the bottom piece a wooden shoe of the same material ran back about 6 feet to steady the trap and serve as a runner. To the rear end of this shoe a similar piece was fastened to the top piece of the frame, so that the mouth of the trap would open and shut like a jaw. To hold the mouth open, two short, upright posts were fastened to the top piece by a hinge,and rested upright upon the bed-piece. The net itself was made of cotton cloth for the bot tom, and the top was made of mosquito nett ing. The month of the net extended 16 feet from one side oi the trap to the other, and the net ran back about six feet to a point with a hole at the end to let out the insects collected. A boy ten years old can draw one end of this net, and by the use of it Major Thompson saved one piece of wheat. Similar machines have been drawn by horses hitched to each side of the trap, being twelve to sixteen feet apart. The horses serve the pnrpose of driving the locusts in ward toward the mouth of the net. There have been many forms of this machine, but all on the same general principle. In relation to the protection of orchard trees the Commission says: The best means of protecting fruit and shade trees deserve separate consideration. Where the trunks are smooth and perpendic ular they may be protected by whitewashing. The lime crumbles under the feet of the in sects as they attempt to climb and prevents their getting up. By their persistent efforts, however, they gradually wear off the lime and reach a higher point each day, so that the whitewashing must be often repeated. Trees with short, rough trunks, or which lean, are not very well protected in this way. A strip of smooth, bright tin answeis even better for the same purpose. A strip three or four inches wide brought around and tacked to a smooth tree will protect it, while on the rougher trees a piece of old rope may first be tacked to if, so as to leave a portion both above and below. Passages between the tin and rope or the rope and tree can then be blocked by fill ing the upper area between tin and tree with earth. The tin must be high enough from the ground to prevent the ’hoppers from jumping from the latter beyond it, and the trunk below the tin, where the insects col lect, should he covered with some greasy or poisonous substances to prevent girdling. This is more especially necessary with small trees, and kereosene or whitewash having Paris rrrppn mivoil nrifli it- mill nnomnw na such preventives. BUSINESS DIRECTORY. Booksellers and Stationers.
