The remarks of Senator Blaine at Wood stock Thursday have called general attention to the scheme of Mexican annexation which is entertained and cautiously pressed by the leading spirits of the South. The rumors regarding intervention by our government in the internal affairs of the Mexican republic and the assumption of a protectorate by us over that country have been thought to be the invention of sensational correspondents who, in the usual dearth of summer new?, make fancies do duty for facts. But recent developments go to show that the correspon dents are indebted to something more than Imagination for the accounts of contemplated interference in Mexican affairs which they have given. It is well to bear in mind that the Southern leaders are accomplished politicians, long used to govern, and expert in all the methods by which power may be got and retained. They ruled this land for seventy years, and then made a blunder which lost them their suprem orur TJ’rnm tV»n usual niwiannunnnnn —C _•_ take like that they were enabled to escape by the unexampled magnanimity of the North ern people. Taking advantage of the generosity they have reconstituted themselves, and now possess more than their old strength. But th* strength of the North has increased in larger proportion, and the South, in order to regain its former supremacy, must make very considerable material gains in territory and population. It naturally turns its attention to the Mexican frontier, where it has gained much plunder before, and proposes to repeat the brigand expedition of 1846. Apparently it counts upon the desire of Mr. Evarts to distinguish himself by a “brilliant” foreign policy, and upon some sentimental belief of the Administration that a war of aggression upon our neighbors would make us forever forget our family troubles, for aid in the suc cess of its scheme. But the country recog nizes larger necessities than the success of Mr. Evarts as a cabinet officer, and the ad ministration will not be so unwise as to plunge the country into a costly and useless war merely to prove the truth of a theory which is not worth the demonstration. It is, how ever, well for our rulers to remember that in sults to even a weak nation may be carried too far, and that the temper of a Mexican Greaser even is capable of receiving provoca tion. Tiie self-negation of Leon Gambetta, in not presenting himself as a candidate for the Presidency of the French, in the not very probable event of Marshal MacMahon’s dis missal or resignation, has been highly com mended. Not long ago he was almost “at daggers drawn” with M. Thiers, whom he now describes as “venerable and patriotic,” and has expressly named him as the most proper person to govern France should it become necessary to place MacMahon on the shelf. One trifling circumstance in con nection with this may be worthy of notice. The Constitution of 1875, under which France is governed now, contains an express n.nrtfnA ih.l __3 J r*''’—' twitj jcaxo ui age shall be eligible as a candidate for the Presidency of the French Republic.’’ Marshal MacMahon was sixty-five in 1873, when he was elected. Adolphe Thiers was eighty on the 10th of last April. Leon Gambetta, born on October 30,1838, will not be forty until next year, and will be ineligible until then. Consequently, he does not deserve any marked commendation for his forbearance, seeing that his own candidature is legally and constitutionally impossible, until the end of October, 1878, and that it would be a politic stroke, in the event of a change, to place in the highest office of the Republic such an aged man as Thiers, who would remain in it until Gambetta has him self become eligible. At the same time, Gambetta’s patriotism and ability are not doubted—neither is his ambition. Apparent ly, he has a brilliant career before him as the recognized lerder of Republicanism in France. _ Mb. Adams, the Democratic Clerk of tie Forty-Fourth House, has arranged the roll of the Forty-fifth so as to give a Democratic majority of eighteen. There are seven seats contested, and these Clerk Adams in the goodness of his heart, has not given bodily to the Democrats, though he has refused in sev eral cases to recognize the Governor’s certifi cates held by the Republican contestants, while at the same time placing Democratic members upon the roll whose title to their seats is based upon certificates issued to them by the same Governors. If the Democratic majority of the next House, be the same eighteen or eight in excess of the Republican membership, have a spark of fairness about them, they will lose no time in convincing Clerk Adams that it is no part of his duties to manipulate the roll for partisan purposes. Tiiere is but little doubt that the remark able platform laid down by J. W. Daniel wil secure for that gentleman the Democratic nomination for Governor of Virginia. His “position” is on the grand opportunity lost by a misguided “North” at the close of the war, when Robert E. Lee and Joseph E Johnston were out of a job, and the former eligible to the office of Minister to England’ and the latter to a seat in the Cabinet. The failure to make these appointments has filled lhis Daniel with a longing for the Gubernato rial chair of his State, “for it is not too late to mpnri ho ovnloins ihnnrrh lira nnnlontn suggest exactly tho method by which Mr. Lea is now to be induced to accept the appoint' ment as Mr. Pierrepont’s successor, or how he proposes to alter the misfortunes of Mr. JohnstoD. Taking advantage of certain sections of the customs regulations, Ilassian vessel owners are transferring such property to American citizens. The sections provide that any vessel wholly owned by a citizen of the United States, though purchased of belligerents is entitled to the protection of the United States flag and authorities. Five or six trans fers have been made, and the vessels run regularly under the American flag. Down in St. Charles Parish La., the color ed laborers refuse to work for Superintendents who carry umbrellas to protect them from the rays of the sun. It reminds them of the overseers of slave times, and thev esteem it a badge of unwarrantable authority, and the Superintendents have had to “shoot” this implement of comfort. Magazine Notices The International Review for July-August has a capital Art letter from Mr. Haraerton the painter, which is interesting, not because it gives any news of lluskin or of Dore, but be cause it contains Mr. Hamerton’s opinion of their late performances. There is a paper on the feasibility of a code of International Law by ex-Governor Emory Washburne, one on Barry Cornwall and his contemporaries, by Edwin P. Whipple, and a valuable critical study of the Old Dutch and Flemish Masters, by Philip Gilbert Hamerton. Professor Fran cis A. Walker prints his second paper on the late World's Fair, omitting this time judgment upon persons and confining himself to some notes upon the comparative displayjof the dif ferent countries. Two papers which will at' tract most attention are The Turks In Europe’ by Charles Kendall Adams, and Oaght Russia to Prevail? The one takes strong ground against the Turk, the other against the Russian and the reader may get a tolerably correct Idea of the situation by studying both papers Recent Publications. The first of the "Great Subjects” (Short Studies on Great Subjects. By James Anthony Froude. Third Series. New York: Scribner. Armstrong Co.; Portland: Loriug, Short* Harmon;) which engages Mr. Froude’s atten tion in the present volume is the “Annals of an English Abbey”—the abbey of St. Albans, which was founded in the town of the same name, twenty miles from Loudon on the great North Road,in the year 793,and was suppressed with the other (conventual houses in Great Britain, by Henry the Eighth. The history o^ the monastery is ‘given with much detail, and occupies nearly 100 pages. He is unflinching iu his exposure of the corruptions which prevailed during the later years of, the institution, and closesjwitli the pungent remark that—“There is a talk now of restoring St. Albans. We are affecting (penitence for the vandalism of our Puritau forefathers, (and are anxious to atone for it. Cursed is ho that rebuildeth Jericho. Never were any institutions brought to a more deserved judgment than the monastic orders of England; and a deeper spurious devomalism of an age which has lost its fait’., and with its faith has lost the power to recognize the visible workings of the ineffable Being by whose breath we are allowed to exist," The second topic discussed is the “Revival of Romanism;” after which come "Sea-Studies” of the dramas of Euripides; essays on “Lucian," "Divas Caesar,” “Society in the Last Days of tne 1 Roman Republic,” “On the Uses of a Landed Gentry,” and “Party-Politic3.” The whole concludes with “Leaves from a South' African Journal.” In the summer of 1874 Mr. I roude made a visit to South Africa for the purpose of studying the working of an English colony. He speut a few days at Capo Town; traversed Natal from Durban, the chief seaport, by way of Maritzburg, the .Capital, to the Drachenberg Mountains, on the frontier’ and thence through the Orange Free State to the Diamond-Fields. Mr. Froude regards the seizure of the latter territory by the' British Government as a measure of great injustice1 and freely expresses his condemnation of it. The most remarkable of the "Studies,” and the one which attracts widest attention is that entitled “Divus Cseiar.” It will command perusal not so much because of its main tbemo as for its incidental boaring on the question which is now agitating thinking minds, the influence upon morality of a decline in religious belief. The history of Rome is the most notable illustration in point, as Mr. Froude shows. In speaking of the incredible depravity of the manners of Italian society in the last days of the republic, when piety and belief in the gods had disappeared! and of the comparative purity and viitueof soci” ety during the half century of the reign of Au gustas, when the emperor himself was the sub ject of a singular idolatry, he says: “The Ro mans, like all great peoples, were, in the earlier stages of their history, eminently religions. Their habits were frugal, their private lives were austerely moral, and wherever conduct is pure piety springs up by an unvarying law of nature, as grass and flowers grow from a whole' some soil. Reverence for God, or the Gods, was interwoven with domestic habits and with public laws. The fact of the Gods’ existence and of their sovereign rule over all things wa3 accepted with the faith which had never heard ui ssepucism. a.ne wnoie duty ot man lay in virtue— virtue, manliness; and unbelief is an infection which manly minds are the last to catch.” But a change was inevitable with the expansion of the republic and the contact with other gods of other nations. "With the new names came the impure mythology of the Hel lenes; and the Latin morality which was found ed in religion, dissolved and disappeared in the presence of Deities whom it was no longer pos sible to respect. The cultivated Athenians could resolve their legends into allegory. The practical Romans took the letter of the mythol ogy as they found it, and discovered that it wa3 no longer credible. Ttose beings could not be gods in any true or real sense who lived in ths practice of the worst vices which their ancestors had taught them to abhor. The publio ceremo nial survived, but the heart had gone out of it. The fear of God departed, and morality and jus tice departed with it; and the ancient Latin creed underwent the fate to which all religions are condemned which are connected with par tial sympathies or have risen out of imperfect knowledge.” Mr. Fronde further dwells upon the process of disintegration: "Religions which have exerted a real influence over mankind have always be gun in genuine conviction. They have contain ed an answer to questions which men were anx. iously asking at the time they originated, and to which they appearcl to give a credible reply. Once accepted, they petrify into unchanging forms. Knowledge increases; religion remains stationary. Fresh problems rise, for which they provide no solution, or a solution trans parently false; and then follow the familiar phenomena of disintegration and failing sanc tions and relaxed rules of action, and, along with these, the efforts of well-meaning men to resist the irresistible—reconciliations of religion and science, natural theologies reconstructed on philosophic bases, with at intervals unavailing efforts to conceal the cracks in the theory by elaborate restorations of ritual,—or again, on the other side, the firm avowal of disbelief from the more sincere and resolute minds, such as rings out in the lines of Lucretius In the time of Cicero religion was at its last gasp; tradition had utterly broken down. Men were looking facts in the face. If there was an overruling Providence what was the evidence of it? Nature is indifferent to good and evil; and submits to man’s control not as he is just or unjust, but as he understands her laws. "The piety of the captain does not save his ship from the reefs. He depends upon his knowledge of navigation. Prayer does not avert pestilence; but an understanding of the conuii oos oi neaitn. Why are the wicked prospered and the good afflicted? “The mani fest disregard of moral distinctions discredits their (men’s) confidence in Providence, and sends a shuddering misgiving through them that no such power as a moral Providence ex. ists anywhere beyond themselves.” The unwilling recognition of this truth, says Ur. Fronde, has always produced a paiufuj crisis in human society. “So long as religion is fully believed, the Inattention of nature to impiety and immorality is compensated by the increased energy of government and by the higher aspirations of individual men. Impiety does not escape unpunished when it is treated by the magistrate as a crime. In a society which is penetrated by a consciousness of a re sponsibility to God, morality is rewarded as sucb, and vice and impurity are punished a$ such by temporal inconveniences. When re ligion no longer guides the intellect or oontrols the conduct, society confines itself to the pun ishment of offenses against itself. Having no longer any high consciousness of duty, society is tolerant of profligacy which avoids the grosses forms of crime.” In bis “Life of a Scotch Naturalist,” (pub. lisbed by Harpers, New York, and sold by Lor ing, Short Harmor,) Samuel Smiles gives an interesting memoir of a poor shoemaker, Thom as Edward, who without education, and without help, brought up a family of eleven children, and in the hours which should have been de voted to rest and slumber thoroughly explored all the shores, fields and woods of his native district, Banffshire, in Scotland, contributing more to the history of its fauna than any man of his time. The author undertook his work as a labor of love, to do justice to a noble charac' ter, which had proved strong under the most adverse circumstances, and the book is illus trated with sketches by several able artists, who contributed them with the same generous mo' tive. The story of the naturalist’s childlifc, his love for all sorts of clammy pets, and the scrapes which they got him into, are iprite amusing, while the relation of .the sacrifices which he made to his love of nature, and the privations and sufferings which he endured in mature life, for her sake, are pathetic. It seems almost in. crediblo that a man of such ability should never have been taken by the hand and lifted into a position where he could have devoted himself to the science he loved so well, and where hi9 labors would have been so valuable. His Ufa long practice has been to spend his nights on* of doors, watchiDg for and ensnaring specimens, and old age finds him crippled with rheuma tism, earning a scanty subsistence at his shoe' mater s bench; and this is a man whoiobserved as keenly, and judged as rightly, in his limited sphere, as Agassiz, and who is; a no less devoted student of nature. Another of the popular and convenient manuals treating of the Eastern Question has been issued by J. E. Osgood &.Co., Boston and is for sale in this’eity by Loring, Short Harmon. It is Modern Greece, by George M Towle. The little Kingdom of Greece is of peculiar interest just now because of its relations to Turkey and Russia. There are yet Greek provinces under the Ottoman sway, and it is not improbable that in the destruction of the Turkish empire the Hellenes may come to their own. It is almost certain that they will take p9rt in the conflict should it last long. Thus to know something of them and their kingdom is of importance to all who wish to keep themselves acquainted with the progress of affaits in the East. The necessary know ledge is concisely furnished in this little volume. Mr. Towle gives a sketch of the history of the kingdom, an account of its king, constitution and capital, a description of its physical features, and many facts of interest regarding its population, nationality, language, religion, education, military and naval strength, and concerning the traits and customs of its people. ihe volume has a large map of the country, on which both classical and modern names of places are given. Voles and Announcements, To the handy little books on the Eastern Question issued by James It. Osgood Co. will shortly be added one by Mr. George M. Towle, who writes of The Principalities of the Danube; Servia and Koumania. There will be maps and illustrations, while the text will an swer all the live hundred questions that arise as to the relation of these States to the present conflict. An ingenious piece of nonsense, moderniz ing his Satanic Majesty under the title of the Kival Puzzlers, attracted a good deal of atten tion among the readers of the Old and New years ago, but was little known outside .that small circle. G. P. Putnam’s Sons now pro pose to make that the title paper of a collection of Mr. F. B. Perkins’s stories and sketches', which they will sboitly issue in popular form. Mr. Sullivan, the Irish M. P., is now en gaged in writing a work On New Ireland, which will contain a review from his peculiar point of view of the changes made in recent years. It will be published in the autumn. The “Midsummer Holiday” Scribner’s is to be a finer work of art than its predecessor of 187G. There will be illustrated papers on A Kailroad in the Clouds, Notth American Grouse, Canadian Sports, Through Maine to Canada in a Birch-bark Canoe; Miss Trafton’s novel will begin; Auerbach, Mrs. Burnett and Boyesen will each have stories; John Burroughs will write on Strawberries, and E. S. Nadal on The Old Boston ltoad. The artists of the en gravings will include many who have not be fore contributed to the magazine. A recent book by an English clergyman, Christian Politics, is offered as “a study of the principles of politics according to the New Tes tament” D. Appleton Co. have in press Samuel Brohl Company, from the French of Victor Cberbuliez, the last, and by French writers considered the best of the works of this famous novelist. The same house ha9 in preparation _:-_e_. -_ lOUbU U1 iUUi m iet. Albright and sparkling novelette for vacation reading entitled Tangled, somewhat akin to One Summer will shortly be published by S. C. Griggs Co. A prominent literary critio who has read the manuscript, pronounces it “one of the brightest and happiest efforts the Westsrn pressjha3 produced this year; brimful of fun, amusing rencontre, sparkling dialogue and romantic episode. The book has life, re refinement and wit, and we predict for it an unusual degree of popularity,” The Academy states that the long-lost “Poetry for Children,” by .Charles and Mary Lamb, published in two tiny volumes at God win's Jnvenile Library in 1800, has at last been found in South Australia, in the possession of the Hou. Mr. Sandover, of Adelaide; and, through his conrtc6y and generosity, has been safely retranslated to the country of its birth and publication. The total disappearance for so many years of a book of which a whole edition was rapidly sold off at the time is one of the most extraordinary circumstances in the literary annals of the present century. In the forthcoming number of the Gentleman’s Magazine a paper will appear containing a full account and description of the volumes, with copious ex’racts from them. The poems are eighty-four in number, [and of these only twenty-nine were hitherto known. The Athena;um speakes of Thomas de Quin cey as “the great representative of pure litera ture of our century. His position in our literature is perfectly unique. In placing him there is no difficulty. Between the passion for poetry, which culminated in the popularity of Byron, and the establish ment of English Positivism, when that passion was fully and finally supplanted by the passion for science—there was a brief and glorious reign for English prose. There were two writers from whom more was expected, by those who were competent to judge than from any of the others—Be Qaincey and Carlyle. Eor splendor ;and melody, nothing since the death of Jeremy Taylor had appeared that was comparable with the Confessions of an English Opium-Eater; while fer suggestive ness, subtle, and many-colored as that of the Eosicrucian gnome within ‘The Opal of Arden,* nothing since the prose portions of ‘Hamlet’ had surpassed the I best prose work of the author of the Life of Schiller, the Essay on Burns, and the translator of Wilhelm Meister, The difference between the great prose writers of the seventeenth century and the prose writers of this is that, while each one of tho latter has his own note, whereby wo infallibly .know him the moment he begins, each one of the former has more notes than all these combined—a note for every mood. And with all his faults of diffuseuess, pedantry and involution, may not the same be said of DeQuincey? When occasion requires ho can be as lurid as Blackstone or as dignified as Bolingbroke, as sonorous as Milton or as rich as xayiur. xoi always mere is me dominant note of that De Quince; mnsic, the equal of which has, perhaps, never been beard in these islands since the great prose writers of the seventeenth century.” Books Received.

SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 7. [.Correspondence of Harper's Bazar. Paris [Fashions. At present and during the coming season fashion will occupy itself in exploring some of the mines which it has opened. Colored embroideries worked with silk on silk gauze, or with wood on muslin, or with ootton on linen; corsages, casaques, or polonaises in the Breton style; large square Louis XLV vests; flowers scattered in profusion on every thing, even on parasols, and, to reach the height of luxury, each flower fashioned so as to exhale its own special perfume, or, better still, natural flowers on the bonnet, corsage, and parasol, and which are renewed three times a day; colored laces, and even on the simplest collar and cuffs of linen colored embroidery, executed with cotton of varions shades; polonaises of all shapes; princesses robes, high-necked or open, with drapery in the gnise of an over-skirt—these are part of the themes on which fashion daily improvises new vaiiations. Without there be ing as yet anything decided io so grave a matter, one can foresee the impending disfavor of pale, faded, and languishing colors, and their dethronement by vivid and even con spicuous colors. Already the rage of the moment is the combination of buttercup yellow with violet, neither faded nor doubtful, but fresh and frank. Nevertheless, there are some very pretty tints among the undecided colors with which we have been surrounded for several years past, but which unfortunately we have abased, ami thus brought about the reaction which is beginning to take place. If from colors we pass to the hair, we find that the rupture between fashion and ve ry voluminous and complicated coiffures is almost an accomplished fact. On all sides the simple coiffure is regretted or reclaimed, and the reaction is begun by the young girls, who at present dress their own locks without a single strand of false hair, a crepe, or any other accessory, iwearine nothing" but their own natural tresses. The style of these coiffures demands, in the first place, that tbe neck, forehead, and ears be exposed. It will readily be comprehended that in order to conform to this fashion one mast not only be very young, but also extremely pretty. The front hair is generally waved, and tbe back hair is oombed up straight from the neck and arranged in a knot on the crown. Manv vouner heads wear tbeir hair in Chinese fashion, with all the hair combed np and formed into a knot on the crown, or else arranged in large loops, which are creped underneath to give them more firm ness, On the forehead the hair is cut to form a fringe, or flat rings, or very small cutis, which are called frisons. Between the coiffure and the bonnet there is but a hair. The greater number of bonnets are of black straw, trimmed with clusters of strawberries, cherries, or currants, admirably imitated, and posed with true Farlsan taste, which is [saying (every thing; but, for all that, fruits on the coiffure always seen alarming to me—the distance from the orchard to the kitchen-garden is so small. We must not [tar get that in 1789 women wore vegetables in their coiffures, and afterward lost tbeir heads. The new materials are numerous and pretty. Nearly all of them are woven so as to present on their surface a kind of soft,impalpable down which combines the different shades of the ma teria.. These goods, though all alike, change their names according to the different ware houses. They are called Neigeuse, Duventi tie, Tissu d’Orient, exotique and I know not what But it iis always the same fancy goods with stripes, thick or openwork, raised, silken, twilled, and oovered with down or small dots of a different color. All these goods are man ufactured with their own special plain mate rial, which is employed for the skirt, if silk does not form part of the toilette. One of the latest novelties for summer diesses is a robe with princesee fronts, long pointed basques in the back, and a drapery in front, which is fastened on both sides in the seam continued from under the arms; in the back the skirt is laid in large perpendicular pleats, and is fastened under the points of the basque. The whole garment is in one piece, and is put on at once. Summer dresses with belted waists are also announced. In all cases, however, dresses for the summer made in goods of cotton, linen, or fine wool, and frequently open-work, can not conform entirely to the tight fashions of last winter. Consequently we begin with half measures, and even even with half belts, those lof which I speak being placed only on the front of the corsage, and ending under each arm with a bow of ribbon with short loops and ends. For elegant sea-side toilettes polonaises are made as follows: Bands of white mnslin and bands of crepe de Chine, blue, rose, mauve or green; the muslin bands are embroidered with very fine and silky wool(also a novely) of the same color as the crepe de Chine with which they are to be combined. The crepe de Chine bands return the compliment which is paid them by the muslin bands,and are embroidered wiuu wune smk, mat is, me coior or me mus lin. These bands are then joined together, always alternately a band of white muslin with a band of rose crepe de Chine. When the crepe de Chine bands are rose, the polonaise is worn over a spinach-colored skirt.'this being one of the latest mode colors. Am I not right in fearing the incursions ot fashion into the kitchen garden? There are also polonaises of silk goods, very pliable and even flimsy,which are termed polo naises de toute heure. They are associated with a skirt of black faille, and are designed to be worn on cold and rainy days, for excursions to town when one is staying in the country, and for ttips to the country when one is in town. Such polonaises are generally chosen in dark shades as, for instance, scabieuse, prune, garnet, etc. Toilettes of two shades, and more fre quentlyfof two different colors, are still the latest fashion, as they offer an inexhaustible mine of ingenious combinations. The style most in favor just at present consists in opening the polonaise in the front or back at pleasure over a dress of a different color, invariably plain, while the material of the polonaise is fashioned with designs or stripes, or else is brocaded in thiok open-work designs. Bronze and turquoise blue form the prettiest combina tion of colors for this purpose; to this I should add, for present tastes, and under the head of novelties, golden yellow with violet and pale pink with spinach green. Pipings take a leading place in fashions at present. They are used in profusion on dresses, trimming all the outlines, and when very pretty effects are desired these pipings are double, each of a different color. For instance, a dress of prune color would be trimmed with double pipings, one of mandarin and one of tilleul, and so on. For the summer, but only for travelling and sea-side dresses, there is manufactured lingerie of twilled ecru foulard embroidered with wool in bright colors, as, lor instance, blue and red, brown and yellow, green and pink. This lin gerie is composed of a deep sailor collar edged with white lace, which is mixed with one of the colors used for the embroidery. Similar sleeves with cuffs to match the collar. After having bad bonnets of flowers, we now have bonnets made entirely of feathers stripped of their stems. They are arranged with charm ing taste, but I cannot say I admire them. A woman gains nothing by exchanging her head for that of a huge bird. There are also made of straw, of all colors without exception,^bonnets so flat that they are called platters. In short the present fashion does not err through lack of diversity but it should take heed lest it lose unity, without which we have anarchy. Emmeline Ravmond. IQIIVOR TELEKRAillS.

Washington, July 6.—On aocount of the great pressure upon the Secretary of the Navy for positions in tbe Department, employment at the ngvy yards, &c., he has been compelled to issue the following notice: The proper busi ness of the Department is obstructed by per sonal applications for positions. Tbe Secretary notifies the applicants that tbe time for ap plications for positions in tbe De partment is closed and that the persons seek ing places at tbe navy yards must hereafter apply to the commandants thereof. The Sec retary declines to interfere in any way with the appointments to places in any other of tbe Departments. Commandants of the various yards have full authority to employ all the workmen needed and according to the circu lar issued a few days ago by the Secretary per sons will be employed on account of their skill and efficiency and without regard to political or other considerations. Yesterday’s Cabinet Meeting. Tbe Cabinet session today was mainly de voted to an informal discussion concerning the President’s recent order prohibiting federal officers participating in tbe management of political committees aud conventions, with especial reference to tbe questions whether it should be enforced against certain officials who tnnlr nart in thA Inwa nnnvAnt.inn And nrhAthor Postmaster General Key correctly interpreted tbe purpose of the order in his yesterday’s let ter to his Madison, (Wis.,1 postmaster. No formal action was taken, but it was agreed that the letter of the Postmaster General was a correct and judicious statement of the mean ing of the order in regard to cases like the one presented from Wisconsin, and that while the order Bhould be firmly maintained and impar tially enforced, there is no occasion to apply it to Iowa office-holders who were elected as members of the convention before it was issued and who probably tcok their seats before it reached them by mail. The letter accrediting Senor Mata as minis ter from the Diaz government was reau at the meeting and tbe subject of interested atten tion. It was a very friendly and pleasant doc ument, but its contents received no further at tention than respectful listening, as it is not regarded at present proper to take action be* yond reference to the State Department.

New Yobk, July 6.—Wm. M. Tweed, in a published letter to JohnD. Townsend, requests that all the facts between Attorney General Fairchild and Townsend as to his case be re ferred to Charles O’Conor for his written opinion whether he (Tweed) had been faithful to his promise, and whether what he had done does not justify his release. Townsend publishes a lengthy reply to the Attorney General, in which he says: “You make no attempt in your report to deny that you stated to Kelly that you would release Tweed if he carried out his intentions as ex pressed in bis letter to O'Conor; you do not deny that on the 22d of April you told me you were surprised at finding how much evidence Mr. Peckham had that corroborated what Tweed could testify to, and that you then inti mated to me that Tweed would be released in a few days; you fail to deny that you gave assur ances to the same effect to Tweed; you fail to explain how it was that without my knowledge you called upon Tweed with Bryant, and how is it that Bryant could have been so conversant with your movements and your wishes and I so ignorant of them, unless he was acting in con cert with you; you give no reason why you requested me not to communicate with Mr. Peckham on the subject of the proposition; you show no reasons, as I trusted you would, why you had been so very considerate to the many King thieves who still live in comfort and elegance; you have not denied that it was by your suggestion that Tweed declined to tes tify before the Senate Committee on the Woodin matter; or why it was that when Tweed was expecting a full examination of the matters set forth in my statement you confined yourself in your interview with him on the 27th of March to t&kiDg a statement in writing lrom him of what he could prove against Senator Woodin.” The letter replies at length to various portions of tbe Attorney General’s report, and among other things denounces as a falsehood the statements that he (Townsend) offered to col lect for 10 per cent, the amounts covered by a. nr ecu a cucutko, ituu tuiit lit) V OWDBena Wa8 retained as counsel for Sweeney, the retainer given him by the latter beiug merely to prevent his being retained by the people. The letter is quite caustic anil almost all of a personal character. _ THE INDIANS. The Same Old Story—Joseph’* Band Gets Away. Portland, July 6.—News has been received from Gen. Howard’s camp on Salmon River up to June 30. On the 29th of June 85 Indians passed along Bald Mountain opposite the camp in full view of the soldiers. Gen. Howard is harrying bis preparations to pursue the sava ges or find the direction taken by them. The trail indicates that ‘Joseph” intends escaping to the buffalo country. The general will im mediately retrace his steps to Lewiston and endeavor to head him off by way of Hang man’s creek. Capt. McConville of Lewiston with volunteers starts today to scout in the vicinity of State Creek to find the direction ‘‘Joseph-’ has taken. The Walhuer Indians of Baker county, Ore gon, are restless and fears are entertained that they will effect a junction with the hostiles. It is reported that J oseph will take up a posi tion in the impassable gulches and canoDS in tending to fight it out. The opinion is that be will start for the buffalo conntry. Joseph has now a day and a half start of the troops. Gen. Howard has about 500 men, three howitzers and two Gatlin gunB. San 1 rancmco, July (i.—According to a des patch from Pioche, there is no trouble with the Indians in southeastern Nevada B F Hoi land, an agent of the Mopwa in'dian 'reserva tion, and William L. Carter, a blacksmith, were killed by a band of four horse thieves All the inhabitants of the valley turned out and pursued them. One of their number, Isaac McMannns, was captured, wounded, near St. George. The others are supposed to be hiding in the mountains. The Grover Investigation. San Francisco, July 0.—In the Grover in vestigation the following testimony was given by Senator Goodman in relatiou to a conversa tion between him aud J. U. Mosier. member of the Oregon House: Mosier said to me the night before the senatorial election, “How is this senatorial question going?” 1 said. “I don’t know.” He asked, “Why won’t Grover do?” 1 replied, “Well, Grover is a good man, but he is not my choice.” “Well,” he said, “there is a chance to make some money, a man can get glOOO for bis vote.” Said I, “Who has the money?” He answered “I know where the money is, and you can get §1000 for your vote; they want three more votes and they have got SHOOO to pay for them.” To the question of who offered it, witness said, “You will have to judge that as I did.” FOR’EIIG- N. _ i The Turco-Russian War. i I HOW THE RUSSIANS WERE DEFEATED IN ASIA.

London, July (5.—A despatch from Berlin says: Kussian official intelligence thus ex plains the occurrences in the Asiatic theatre of war. Gen. Melikoff having reached the Ar axes valley byway of Kars and KagismaD,was marching west in the direction of Erzeroum when the Turks occupying the fortified position of Junin menaced his right flank. To prevent their attacking his front and rear, Melikoff be fore proceeding further west, had to turn north and attack Zewin. The attempt failed and Melikoff fell back to the Araxes valley where he heard that the southern column under Ter gukassoff, which was to have met him there previous to a joint march on Erzeroum, was likewise defeated near Delibaba and had re treated. Tergukassoff is seemingly determ ined to retrace his steps to the frontier and res cue Bayazid, while Melikoff, according to the latest intelligence, intended to take up a posi tion in the Araxes valley and hold the road to Kars against the victorious force from Zewin.

New York, July 6.—At Bavazid, recently A.ant.nrAil from t.hA Knaainnu Mm inuoflnro fonnlif desperately, and the Turks attacked with the fury of fanatieism and with vigorous shonts of “Allah!” The Turks secured a large quantity of stores, as Bayazid was a depot for a con siderable portion of the lius3ian left, which was endeavoring to flank the Turkish position. A Pera despatch, July 4th, says Mukhtar Pasha has advanced close to Kars. The line of retreat of the Russians is menaced by Faik Pasha, who has advanced to the northward of Bayazid. The environs of Vau swarm with Kurds from the mountains, who harass the re treating Russians. The Cossack cavalry suf fered severely from the constant attacks and surprises of these irregular allies of the Turks. It is stated at Vienna that the Russian be sieging force at Kars has advanced to Ardos to effect a junction with the lately defeated corps of Gens.;Tergukassoff and Hermann.

GREAT BRITAIN. The Reason for Sending gibe Elect to Besika Bar, London, July G.—Id the House of Commons this afternoon Sir Stafford Northcote said the object of sending the Mediterranean fleet to Besika Bay was that it would be a convenient station, enabling by its central position, the commander to communicate easily with the ambassador atConstantinople andthe home gov ernment As to why the fleet was not sent to the Suez canal the chancellor said it was be cause it was not a convenient central positiou, and besides there was twenty reasons why no more thap one ship should be stationed at the Suez canal. The fleet at Besika Bay numbers seven iron clads and one frigate. FRANCE. The Bona partial* and the Ministry.

Ord— Mexican Journals Foresee an Annexa. tion Scheme—The Government to De mand a Modification of the Order. City of Mf.xico, Jane 30, via Havana.— The spirit of the order to Gen. Ord to cross the Bio Grande has been misunderstood by the press, which made bitter attacks on the Ameri can government. The official journal charges the United States government with the viola tion of treaties and international law, alleging that the Bio Grande movement is a pretext for territorial aggrandizement, or for forcing Lerdo on the Mexican people. The attacks have called forth a memorandum from Minister Foster addressed to the government and foreign representatives. The following are the princi pal points: The instructions given Gen. Ord are not the announcement of a new measure on the part of the United States; the depredations com mitted daring the past four years were not common to both sides of the frontier; Mexico took no adequate, no vigorous measure to pre vent the depredations or punish the outlaws; Mexico frequently acknowledged her inability to discharge her duty regarding the preserva tion of order on the Bio Grande frontier, giving as a reason internal dissension; the instructions of Gen. Ord are misinterpreted by the Mexican government, therefore the declaration made by the Mexican minister of war is unwarranted in officially asserting that the instructions to Gen. Ord are in contravention of treaties between Mexico and the United States. A telegraphic despatch announces a meeting between Gens. Ord and Trevino at Biedras Negros, at which amicable and satisfactory arrangements were made for the suppression of raids. The Mexican government insists upon the modification of the order to Gen. Old and fears are entertained that the modification will not be conceded. There is considerable ex citement over the affair. Senor Befael Benani des is commissioned by the Mexican govern ment to make a special and minute study of the situation on the border and report meas ures deemed expedient fur putting a stop to raids and disorders. PERU. Details of the Recent Naval Engagement with the Ram nnascar-Peru to De- maud Reparation of England. Panama, June 27.—An outbreak has broken mt iu Barranquilla, which interrupts the navi ;ation of the Magdalena river, and 12,000 roops will be required to suppress it. i The British frigate Shah arrived here on the 1 !0th and sailed on the 26th for San Francisco. A Lima letter dated June 12, gives the fol- 1 owing details of the combat between Peruvian fon clads near Pisagua on the 28tb of May. rhe fight was commenced when the govern ment squadron consisting of the Independeu ;ia, the iron clad frigate Dimon and tPitcoma poa, a wooden corvette, was discovered by the rebel ram Huascar, the latter steaming slowly all to meet its opponents. The maneuvering of the)Huascar consisted simply of describing a circle around the enemy, firing but few shots, and from the strength of her p'ating she received but littlo injury irom the guns of the squadron. Nevertheless at one stage of the action which lasted about one hour and a half, the Union, mounting twelve 70 pounders in battery, ran so close to the ram that an attempt at boarding was apprehended, and the crew of the Huascar opened a heavy fire with rifles and revolvers on the attacking vessels. Such, howtver, was not the purpose of the Union. She came alongside the Huascar and let drive a whole broadside at the turret of that ship, so effectually damaging it that no further use was made of the two 600 pouud guns in it, from which already five shots had been discharged. Only one took effect, striking the bulwarks of the Independence, carrying away the gig and destroying the funnel. The Union received on ly a few scratches. The damage doue the Huascar’s turret was all that vessel sustained. The Independencia at that range fired ten shots with her pivot guns of 150 pounds and thirty with her 70 pounders in battery. The Pilcomayo, which was well ensconced behind the Independencia, fired shells at the ram. The letter also details an engagement be tween the British fleet and the Huascar on the following day. It appears that the British Admiral sent a boat alongside the Huascar and the officer in charge informed the commander that Admiral I)e Horsey gave the Huascar two minutes to haul down the Peruvian flag and surrender in the name of the Queen, that in case of refusal he would do all that was possi ble to sink the ram. Pierola replied that the Huascar was a national man-of-war and was carrying the national flag, that the emblem wmiirl Tint- hA lnnrArpil tliA Rnnapar Vtarl a gun to defend it. Pierola instantly beat to quarters, tbe English opened fire at about (>00 yards, the first shots cutting away the flag of the Huascar, but which was immediately re placed. The Huascar replied with a heavy 300 pound Blakeley’s in the turret and the Ame thyst lying off and on steadily persisted in an attempt to rake the ram. A shot was fired from her broadsides which are discharged by electricity, aud in a few moments everything on the Huascar decks except tbe masts, turret and smoke-stack had disappeared. Her stand ing rigging, boat steering gear and capstan were destroyed in the hot fire from the En glish vessels. The Huascar, however, contin ued her fire at regular intervals, sometimes from her turret guns. Tbe shell from the Amethyst entered one of her forward ports, ex ploding inside, hilling one man and wounding several. After the fight bad lasted about an hour and a half the Amethyst was seen with a thick smoke issuing from amidships and steaming out of action. She did not return for twenty minutes, leaving tbe Huascar and Shah alone. The former now attempted to run down her adversary, but the splendid handling of the Shah prevented any successful mamcuvre of this nature. On approaching, the Huascar’s officers state that the Shah appeared to move as if by instinct and her heavy batteries were brought to bear on her assailant. One 300 ponnd shot struck the turret of the Huascar, penetrated the iron two inches and then robounded on the side. She was hit twice by the same class of shot with precisely tbe same result. The Peruvians now adopted a new mode of attack. The battle lasted three hours. Then the Huascar slowly retired, the shell from the Amethyst having destroyed all her primers for turret gunB. The President has issued a proclamation, in which he declares that he will exact from Great Britain explanations and satisfaction consequent on such a wanton outrage on a friendly power. The people of Lima compelled tbe ministry to resign because of a report that the govern ment requested the English vessels to capture the rebel ram, and the President was unable for some days to find persons willing to accept tbe offices. Even a revolution was attempted on the 4th of June. Tbe regiment holding the castle of Callao and two battalions of National Guards declared that they no longer owed allegiance to President Prado, whom they con sidered a traitor to the republic, and proclaimed as chief of the state Gen. Luis La Puerto, tbe first Vice President. An effort was made in Lima to second this movement, but the ener getic attitude of Prado, who immediately put himself at the head of his forces, rendered tbe attempt abortive. Troops were sent to Callao to overthrow the rebels, and they surrendered without firing a shot. Tbe leaders were all made prisoners. On the lith President Prado succeeded in organizing his Cabinet. Mr. Gibbs, U. S. Minister, has received orders trom Washington to insist upon tbe immediate release of steamer Georgia, detained in Callao at the request of the government of Chili for alleged offences committed in Ohillian waters, and has succeeded in having the vessel placed at liberty.

Though the sittings may be made a tritte longer, the sitter finds it much less difficult to rotain the proper ex pression, the lights and shades blend more har moniously, the delicate balf-tints are not destroyed and the result is usually much more favorable.

rOETRY. Hawthorne. BYEDMUSD C. 8TEDMAN. Sweet liarp of Eastern song That even in slumber tremblest with the touch Of poets who like the four winds from thee waken All harmonies that to thy strings belong,— Say. wilt thou blame tfre alien bands too mach Which from thy laurelled resting place have takeu Thee, crowned one, in their hold? There is a name Should quicken thee! No carol Hawthorne sang, Y et his articulate spirit, like thine own, Made answer quick as flame, To each breath ot the shore from which he sprang, And piose like his was poesy’s high tone. By measuieless degrees Star follows star throughout the rounded night. Far oil his path begau.yet reached the near Sweet Influences of the Pleiades,— A portion and a sharer of the light That shall so long outlast each burning sphere. Beneath the shade and whisper ot the pines Two youths were fostered in the Norselandair; One fonnd an eagle’s plume, and one the wand Wherewith a seer divines; Now but the Minstrel lingers of that pair,— The rod has fallen from the Mage’s hand. Gray on thy mountain height, More fair than wonderful beside thv streams, Thou with the splendors twain of youth and age. This wtft the sun who read thy heart aright, Ot whom thou wast beholden in his dreams— The one New Englander! Upon whose page Thine offspring still are animate, and move Adown thy paths, a quaint and stately throng Grave men of God, who made the olden law, Fair maidens, meet for love— All living types that to the coast belong Since Carver from the prow thy headlands saw. What should the master be Who to the world New England’s self must render. Her best interpreter, her very own? How spake the brooding Mother, strong and tender, Back looking through her youth betwixt the moan Of forests and the murmur of the sea? “Thou, too,” she said, “must first be set aside, To keep my ancient vigil for a space— Taught by repression, by the combating With thino own pride of pride, An unknown watcher in a lonely place, Wit^x none on whom thine utterance to fling.” But first of all she fed Her lieMl’s own favorite upon the store Of prdcious things she treasures iu her woods, Of charm and story in her valleys spread. For him her whispering winds and brooks that pour Made ceaseless music in the solitudes; The manifold bright surges ©f her deep Gave him their light. Within her voice’s call She luied him on, by roadways overhung With elms, that he might keep Remembrance of her legends as they rail Her shaded walks and gabled roofs among. Within the mists she drew. Anon, his silent footsteps, as her own Were led of old, until he came to be An eremite, whose life the desert knew, And gained companionship in dreams alone. The world, it seemed, had naught for such as he,— For one who, in his heart’s deep wilderness Found no quick use for potent hands and fain, No chance that might express To human-kind the thoughts that moved him so. —O, deem not those long years were quite in vain! For his was the brave bouI Which, touched with fire, dwells not on whatsoever Its outer senses hold in their intent. But, sleepless even in sleep, must gather toll, Ot dreams which pass like barks upon the river And make each vision Beauty’s instrument; That from its own love Love’s delight can tell, And from its own grief guess the shrouded Sorrow; From its own joyousness of Joy can sing; That can predict 60 well From its own dawn the lustre oi tomorrow, The whole flight from the flutter of the wing. And his the gift which sees A revelation and a tropic sign In the lone passion-flower, and can discover The likeness of the far antipodes, Though but a leaf is stranded from the brine; His the fine spirit which is so true a lover Of sovran Art, that all the becks ot life Allure it not until the work be wrought. Nay, though the shout and smoke of combat rose, He through the changeful strife, Eternal loveliness more closely sought And Beauty’s changeless law and sure repose. Was it not well that one,— One, if no more,—should meditate aloof, Though not for naught the times heroic quarrel, For what men rush to do and what is doner He little knew to join the web and woof Whereof slow Progress weaves her rich apparel, But toward the past half-Ion giDg turned his bead. His deft hand dallied with its common share Of human toil, nor sought new loads to lift, But held itself, instead, All consecrate to uses that make fair By right divine of his mysterious gift. How should the world discern The artist’s self, save through the fine creation Of his rare moment? How, hut from his soDg, The unfettered spirit of the minstrel learn? Yet on thi 3 one the stars had set the station Which to the chief romancer should belong: Child ot the Beautiful! whose regnant brow She made her canopy, and from his eyes Looked outward with a steadfast purple gleam. Who saw him, marvelled how The soul ot that imprisoned ray could lie HI So calm beyond,—unspoken all its dream. What sibyl to him bore The secret oracles that move and haunt? At night’s dread noon he scanned the enchanted glass, Ay, and himself the warlock’s mantel wore, Nor to the thronging phantoms said, Avaunt, But waved his rod and bade them rise and pass, Till thus he drew the lineaments of men Who fought the old colonial battles three, Who with the lustihood of Nature warred And made her docile.—then Wrestled with Terror and with Tyranny, Twin wardens of the scaffold and the sword. He drew his native land, The few and rude plantations ot her past, Fringed by the beaches of her sounding shores: Her children, as he drew them, there they stand; There, too, her Present, withlan outline cast Still from the shape those other centuries wore. Betime the orchards and the clover-fields Changed into woods o’ershadowing a host That moves along the Massachusetts Path; The sword ot Standish shields The Plymouth band, and where the lewd ones boast Stern Kndicott pours out his godly wrath. Within the Province House The ancient governers hold their broidered state— Still gleam the lights, the shadows come and go; Here once again the powdered guests carouse, The masquerade lasts on! the night is late. Thrice waves the mist-invoking wand, and lo, What troubled sights! What summit bald aud steep Where stands a ladder ’gainst the accursed tree! What dark processions thither slowly climb! Anon, what lost ones keep Their midnight tryst with forms that evil be, Around the witch lire in the forest grim! Clearly the master’s plan Revealed his people, even as they were; The prayerful elder and the winsome maid, The errant roysterer, the Puritan, Dark Pyncheon. mournful Hester—all are there. But none save he in our own time so laid His summons on man’s spirit; none but be, Whether the light thereof were clear or clouded, Thus on his canvas fixed the human soul, The thoughts of mystery, In deep hearts by this mortal guise enshrouded, Wild hearts that like the church bell ring and toll. Two natures In him strove Like day with night—his sunshine and his gloom. To him the stern forefathers’ creed descended, The weight of some inexorable Jove, Prejudging from the cradle to the tomb; But therewithal the lightsome laughter blended Of that Arcadian sweetness undismayed Which finds in love its law, and graces still The rood, the penitential symbol worn, Which sees, beyond the shade, The Naiad nymph of every rippling rill v And hears quick Fancy wind her wilful horn. What if he brooded long On Time and Fate,—the ominous procession Of years that with Man’s retributions frown,— The destinies which round his footsteps throng,— Justice, that heeds not Mercy’s intercession,— Crime, on its own head calling vengeance down,— Deal Chance and blind, that, like the mountain-slide Puts out Youth’8 heart of fire, and all is dark? What though the blemish which, in aught of earth, The maker’s hand defied. Was plain to him,—the one evasive mark Wherewith Death stamps us for bis own at birth? Ah, none the less we know He felt the imperceptible fine thriil With which the waves of being palpitate, Whether in ecstasy of joy or woe, And saw the strong divinity ot Will Bringing to halt the stolid tramp of Fate; Nor from his work was ever absent quite The presence which, o’ercast it as we may, Things far beyond our reason can suggest: There was a drifting light In Donatello’s cell—a fitful ray Of sunshine came to hapless Clifford's breast. Into each blossom brake Our northern hedge, that neither mortal sadness Nor the drear thought of lives that strive and fail, «IJ UUCO ILO BUU1U1C leaves UUgUl Idh U From clouded skies could overcome Its gladness Or in the blessing of its shade prevail. Fresh sprays it yielded them of Merry Mount For wedding wreaths; blithe Phoebe with tbe sweet Pare flowers her promise to her lover gave; Beside it, from a fount Where Pearl and Pansie plashed their innocent feet, A brook ran on and kissed Zenobia's grave. Silent and dark the spell Laid on New England by the frozen North; Long, long the months—and yet the Winter ends The snow-wraiths vanish, and rejoicing well Tbe dandelions from tbe grass leap forth, And Spring through budding birch and willow sends Her wind ef Paradise. And there are left Poets to sing ot all, and welcome still Tbe robin's voice, the humble-bee’s wise drone; Nor are we yet bereft Of one whose sagas ever at his will Can answer back the ocean, tone lor tone. But he whose quickened eye Saw through New England's life her inmost spirit— Her heart, and all the stays on which it leant— Returns not, since he laid the pencil by Whose mystic touch none other shall inherit! What though its work unfinished lies? Half bent The rainbow’s arch fades out in upper air; The shining cataract half-way down the height Breaks into mist; tbe haunting strain, that fell On listeners unaware. Ends incomplete, bat through tbe starry night Tbe oar still waitB for what it did not tell. THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Tbe Canker Worm. Tbe wingless female moth and tbe trim male, with bis ample wings, both gray or ash color, tbe lemale being a little the dark er, come forth from tbe ground early in the spring, The female crawls up tbe trunks of the apple-trees, and, after meeting the male, lays her clusters of eggs, often to the number of 100. About the middle of June the larva; are full-fed, the tree fully denuded of its fol iage, and that, too, at the worst possible time, the growing season, when the “worms” make for the ground, some creeping down the trunk, others dropping dowu by a silken thread spun for the purpose. Upon reaching the ground they burrow to the depth ot four or five inches, and in an earthen cocoon change to pupae. The chrysalis is of a light brown color, and smaller for male than lor female. This destructive insect is not con tent to injur the apple-tree alone, but is equal ready to attack the elm, and not unfrequent ly attacks cherry, plum and other fruit and forest trees. As preventing is better than cure, we ought, of course, whenever possible, to keep Injurious insects from ever gaining a foot hold ;>aud the wingless condition of this fe male moth permits us to accomplish this, as she must ascend the tree in order to work in jury. Any substance which prevents this will prevent the defoliation The old method so long practised in New England is to closely surround the tree with paper bands, say eight inches wide, and besmear the bands with tar or printer’s ink. This gives the trees a forbidding appearence, and necessita tes renewed applications of the adhesive sub stance so frequently as to be sure that we en trap the moth as she attempts to pass Dp the tree. Dr. LeBaron suggests a neater and, as he savs, an effectual remedy. lie would place an inch rope around the tree, letting it lap a little so as to be sure to entirely sur round the tree. Then tack the rope to the tree at each end. Then take a strip of tin, say five inches wide, place it aronnd over the rope, so that the rope shall be just in the middle of the tin; lap this a little and tack to the rope. It is said that the female moths, comiDg up to the rope, and being unable to crawl through under the tin,will crawl around and get on to the tin, but they will never get from the tin to the tree again. Upon reach ng the top of the tin they pass round and round, not knowing that they can pass down and thus gain their desired end. Like turkeys entrapped in a pen, whose only exit is through a hole beneath the earth’s level, they are baulked through sheer stupidity. In this case the moths will doubtless lay eggs around and below the tins. These can be destroyed by using kerosene oil. This, turn ed upon the eggs, destroys them. Eggs laid in close proximity to the tree, or wherever seen, can be destroyed in the same way. If the moths once gain access to the tree and the larva) commence their work ot de spolation, we can take advantage of their dropping propensity and decoy them. Place a little straw under the tree, not sufficient to injure it when burned. Then jar the tree, and as the larva) swing pown by their threads bring them upon the straw by sweep ing the threads with a pole, then set fire to the straw and we are rid of the pests. The only trouble will be to be sure to make them drop. To be complete this will need cau tious pains. During the past year syringing the trees with a solution of Paris green was tried with marked success In Illinois, and is highly recommended by those who tried it. Though the neighbors of people with af fected orchards may take satisfaction in the prospect of a speedy leave-taking of this ter rible scourge, still those who have orchards attacked will find that persistent effort in me line marKea out auove win do me price of their orchards, as two or three years, at most, will utterly ruin the trees. But this pi ice is not very exorbitant, as the labor is not very great, does not last very long, and is most effectual when applied in the least busy season of all the year. Dysentery. I have known dysentery in its worst form to be cured, after other medicines had failed, by drinking wheat flour stirred in water, in quantity of about half a tumbler of water, made to the consistency of cream with flour. It may be advisable to add a pinch of salt or the flour may be eaten in its dry state. The same effect is produced in cases of chronic diarrhoea. niTTTEl ■JL.
