THURSDAY EVE., .TUNE 11,1885.
THE New Hampshire legislature is
this week wrestling with the United
>Staten Senator question, there being
several candidates.
THE Iowa editors are on an excur-
sion to the Pacific coast, '200 strong,
n8 guests of the U. i'. It. K.
The
trip will extend to Oregon find Wash-
ington territory.
AND now comes the Chicago Times
nnd declares that General Logun is
"the only Democratic Senator Illi-
nois has," claiming that "the Demo-
crats elected him."
The Times occa-
monally gets into p. jocose mood, and
this was its champion effort.
Tins thing of "offensive partisun-
ehip" is a sword that has two edges.
The Senate of the United States,
-which takoa the last guoss at all
presidential appointments, is Kepub-
Jican by a decided majority, and,
therefore, "offensively partisan."
THE greatest excitement continues
I a London and throughout the Brit-
i ih empire, over the resignation of
the Gladstone ministry, and as yet
there is no indication of what the
tical outcome will be, though it is
believed by many that the premier-
ship will bo offered to Lord Harting-
ton.
O'Kr.Ei K, one of the as-
sociates of Mike McDonald,
Joe
Mackin and tho other bosses of tho
Chicago Democracy, wns yehtorduy
tried and found guilty of tho crime
of stealing the bnllot box of tho third
ward at the Into city election, and
was sentenced to ono yotir in tho
penitentiary.
The iniin who was to
be benelitted by the theft ia still at
large aud continues to call himself
' the boat Mayor Chicago over hud."

It is be-

THE reports from, tho Department
of the Interior are not encouraging.
Secretary Lamnr, who made himself
busy and efficient for two weeks, is
said to have relapaed into his consti-
tutional indolence, and he is nearly
covered up by the piles of important
papers around him awaiting his con-
uideration.
The businosa of tho de-
partment has fallen greatly in arrears,
and clerks are kopt idle awaiting his
action in matters rfc which their la-
bors are devoted.
He is maki ng j ast

He

and tried to be industrious. But
this ie a thing of the past, aud he
does not even pretend to give his at-
tention to the most urgent matters
before him.

W*iiiiNfVTON, IX C., Juno 11.—The
Si crotaiy of the Treasury ha.s written, a
Idler to General Appraiser A. J. Ferry,
at New Yoik, railing his uttentlou to the
department Instructions and regulations
^oveniing rcappraiseiiu'iits of merchan-
dise. The Secretary holds that reap-
praisrineuts should '>e made in the same
manner as in original appraisements,
and that the present methods of trials
mill
healings
are
unauthorlxcd
and
wrong. The appraisers are .supposed to

ence to decide fairly without the testi-
mony of

The Secretary holds
that tins Is u violation of the spirit of the

the Reformed Church of America. There
was an exciting debate in relation to the
\VVst Troy couirrvgatiou, who recently
transferred their denominational alle-
giance to rrcsljytcriiinl.sm. One promi-
nout delegate cliaracteri/.ed the alleged
transfer of the church property as out and
out robbeiy, and another, after alluding
to similar occuironces in other parts of
tlio country, oeclaicd that "steals" ol

held responsible for the action taken by
the local Presbyterians.
The Synod ap-
pointed a committee of three to investi-

Clean speech.
We occasionally hour a young mnn
Hpenk with a foul mouth and n dirly
tongue. Wo have noticed that tho pres-
ence of older persons does not ppota to I o
any check to the uttoranoen. The pftrwm
who is guilty of thi?, aud at the same
time knows no shame, ip. fast making a
reputation that is auythiug but enviable.
Oue may have a good character and a
bad reputation, or a good reputation and
a bad character, but this doeH nut often
occur. A man's reputation is worth more
than stocks and bonds. Those do not
always command respect, while o good
reputation doef, and brings confidence
and friendship, and when coupled with a
good character it is likely to bring suc-
cess and a competency. A mac is weighed
by the eenUmeuts be expresses and tho
acts he performs. Nothing aids a man
more than clean speech. The young man
who reads this should rernoraber it. It
may be to him wealth and position, if
rightly followed.—J''ckin Times,

THE CODLING MOTH.
Habits of This Destructive Insect aud Qow
ita Ravitget* May )>« Prevented.
Onr Consul at Auckland, New Zea-
land, informs the Department of State
that tbe importation of apples and
pears in any way infected with the
codling moth or in •which said insect is
or .bus been present in any iorm or
stage of development, together with
the packages containing them, has
been by official proclamation prohibited
in that colony, lie further states that
the importation of apples and pears
from California has been very large,
and affirms that the codling moth is
only ionnd in those picked in the early
part of the season. In his communica-
tion on the subject he writes:
A singular feature about the codling
moth is that it deposits eggs in tho
eyes of the young apple, and, when
hatched out, eats into tho fruit aud
eventually destroys it. At first it at-
tackfl tho apple obliquely toward tho
center, thus avoiding the core and
pips—so essential to the growth of tho
fruit. It can bo traced by tho brown-
ish- powder it leaves behind. At a later
fxiriod it enters tho coro and feeds
upon tho seed, tho dainty rnon-pK ot
which are said to bo essential to the
insect's life.
Alter surfeiting HscU
on these aromatic kernels, it cscaprs
through a hole which it makes m tuu
side ot tho apple and takes shelter in
tho scales of the bark of tho tree, or
such other suitable place a.s it can lint!.
The insect completes its transforma-
tion in a few weeks and produces :i
socoad l>rood of moths which lay thuiv
eggs and again stock the apples with
worms. The body ol tho moth H
about three-eighths of
an
inch in
length, and tho wings when expanded
are three-fourths of an inch in width.
The head anil thorax are brown, tho
fcody underneath tho hirulwiuffs ii pale
fci^pwu, with a, silky glos^. The. for*
•wings are gray brown and are deli-
cately b.xrred with dark purplo (iMu-t-
•verso lines, and on tho hind marg.n js
a largo dark brown spot, within which
is another spot almost circular and
bordered with scales of a ghtlcring
Jiery copper color. The apples allectod
by the codling moth lall oil' the tree
early in the season.
An excellent way to destroy thi";o in-
sects i-; to turn either pigs or sheep into
the orchard to eat tho fruit as .->oon as
it fall0 to tho ground.
Sheep arc faiil
to bo better tli.in pigs for this purpo«i>.
They should ho allowed to remain in
tho orchard until autumn, and if this
course is continued for several yearn
the insects will entirely disappear. A
mixture of lime, wash soap, and sheep
manure applied to the trunk of tho
tree will pre\tnt the sheep from touch-
ing the bark. Another method for de-
stroying tho codling moth is to spray
the tree with a weak solution of 1'ario
green; a table-spoonful to the barrel ol
water is said to be sullieient. The best
time to spray the tree i.s after the fruit
sets. The cah x end of the fmit points
upward, aud tho poison will lodge in
tho blossom end of tho apple.
The
young worms are poisoned as soon as
they begin to eat into the fruit.
The
bark ot the tree should be thoroughly
cleaned and scraped in tho spring so
that no cocoons will bo loft m the
crevices.
The greatest difficulty in getting rid
of these insects K to prevent tho lurv.e.
from again ascending the tree after
they have fallen to tiio ground.
Mr.
G. W. Bissell has made a series of ex-
periments for this purpose, and has at
last invented a trap which, it is said,
i.s the most effective way of destroying
tho pests yet discovered. The trap con-
sists of a circular tin band, having
round tho lower border many small
holes punched from without so as to
leave their projecting edges on the in-
side.
Around the tin band is soldered
a flaring- tin b.isin for holding a lluid
which the codling moth or any other
larvic can not puss.
On the upper ed^o
of the tin band is a wire to which is
si'wed a piece of burlap, and which
may be tied ut the top, close up to the
tree-trunk.
The lower edge of the tin
circle, after being placed around the
trunk of the tree, is .set into the earth
slightly.
The codling larva, after giv-
ing up in despair trying to cios.-i tho
lluid. in the basin, crawls through the
holes in the tin and up the burlap" in
the inside, and (here goes through its
trauil'oruritiutis
When
the
moth
emerge^ there is no exit suHicirntly
lar<re for it. and it is securely trapped,
and soon dies without having any op-
portunity to deposit its eggs "about tho
fruit.
'J he invention U said to bo
ei|iiailv effective for trapping the saw-
fly caterpillar, when jarred'from the
tree to the ground, aud the fcrualo
wingless moth.—Cnii-ago Tinicf.

MUTTON.
A Reasonably Cheap and Very Hraltby Ar-
ticle of food-
The world is all the time looking out
for something to eat.
So far as quan^
Uly is concerned a man takes good care
of his stomach, lie draws from the
fields, tho mountains and the waters,
and still calls for more. There is m
all this restless search for food a prin-
ciple of gormandixing which may not
be far removed from the disgusting,
but what is still more important it ban
a tendency to insure all the evil results
of gormandizing, Wo will not stop to
discuss hero the possible or probable
evils of meat eating. It may be that
the
^ egotarians are right.
In view of
the enormous quantities of meat that
are consumed, we scarcely' think that
there is room to doubt that a compli-
ance with vegetarian rules would coo-
duce to a, greater degree o£ health,
But be that as it may, it is a fact that
with all our improvement in the quality
of our meats, dyspepsia has increased
and the duration of human life short-
ened
When our fathers regaled thcm-
•ii-hoi upon tough beef, and mntton
that seemed to have been cooked in
the wool, dyspepsia was comparatively
u n k n o w n .
Their digestive apparatus
\\.ts 1,1 line working order, and
the
tln.g
business
was
correspond-
i'iLr"r depressed. I'ossibly we
may
not
have
to go far to
find
the
reason ol the dillcronce between them
and us in this respect.
It may be that
thc\ ; U- less, because Ihc viands upon
winch i h e \ leasted were not so tempt-
ing.
The average individu.il now cats
because it "tastes good." lie gorrnan-
di/o.s.
The tender roast of beef and
and elegant leg of mutton tempts his
palate to an indulgence beyond the re-
quiieuient of hunger, and tiio better the
meat the greater tin- danger.
If this, is
not true. il. is dillieult to account for
the too general derangement of the di-
gestivo machinery.
Wilh our better
meats, our digestion ought to improve
and health and longevity be assured:
and tho necessity that presents iLseli
seems iii be an inipnnement in our
meats to the gri'.\(e-t possible excel-
lence and moderation in eating.
Tho
crv lor cheap meats represents no ne-
cessilv whatever.
The sec-king for new
animals lo devour, that meats may be
made cheaper, is not policy. No one.
•uo pretend to sax, would be benefited,
il all meats could be had for the :i»kiDg
unless it is that comparatively tmall
cl.iss who arc pretty nearly so poor
(hat
they would have no fire to cook
the meat il it was g'ven to them.
We
do not believe that it would be wisdom
to encourage, the great majority o)
people to cat :my more than they do.
Tin: plea tor the laboring man, with 3
large tam-ly, for cheap meats, does not
seem to be sanctioned by the actua"
tacts in his case1. lie seems to thrive
upon what he. is able to provide for his
table. He enjoys strength and robust
lualth, which are the euvy of the mall
x\ho cats lugh-prccil meats three times
a day.
His children average well in
health.
What more docs he want in
the lino of nourishment? Why, he says
he ,s entitled to ns good things as the
rich man is. lie lias better things
than
many
rich men.
He
good digestion, good health aud the
prospect lor a long life, and many rich
men have destroyed all these in glnt-
touj;.
Candy is not a good thing for
a child, however much it may like it.
The parent consults tho child's besl
^nterest when ho prevents tho child
from eating candy: and when we as
men demand the privilege of satisfying
our palate at the cost of our health, il
is fortunate if poverty or anything else
prevents u« from doing it.
Now mutton offers to the people of
thrs country not only a reasonably
cheap but a very healthful diet. Con-
sumers that can not provide themselves
with mutton, as a general thing, would
hardly bo able, to supply themselves
with mi at,
if there should be some
kind offered at but a few cents per
pound.
And there is no ' meat that
conies on to our tables that can be
eaten with so much impunity.
Why
e\cn mutton fat will digest in the
stomach of an invalid. No other fat
will do so. The most of animal fats
will over tax even the strongest of di-
gestions.
A better service can not bo
rendered tuo people of this country
than to direct their attention to the
mer.t.s of mutton as a food. And cer-
tainly no unusual effort should be made
to draw their attention away from it,
or to supplant mutton with a cheaper
but inferior food. Just now in some
quarters such an attempt is being
made. Tho goat is brought forward as
a competitor in tho meat market with
the sheep, and tho allegation is made
that
its
meat
«is
of
a
better
quality than Merino
mutton.
Wo
confess to a strong prejudice in the
matter, but in discussing tho subject
will try to be uninfluenced by it.
The
question, of superior excellence rests
upon the same principle that makes
the Merino an inferior mutton animal
to the mutton breeds.
Kattire has
made tbe Merino inferior in that re-
spect and as long as it remains dis-
t i n c t \ e l y a Merino, tho influences of
nali.ic i an not be overcome.
But na-
tui'c Lias made tkc Jlcrino a superior
meat producer to the goat, and the
goat can not be made to approach tho
Merino in that respect while it remains
purely a goat. It is true that this may
not bo so strikingly true of tho Angora
as it is of the common goat. Nor is it
policy while wo are clamoring for an
increased production of wool, to sup-
plv our home needs, to force a compe-
tition which would lessen the consump-
tion of mutton. The wool of the sheep
is of far more importance to mankind
than the hair of the goat.
Wool is a
necesi-ity; goat's hair is not.
And
though we observe iu an exchange the
statement that the prospect is that we
shall very soon produce more, wool
than we can use at home.acoospicuous
cause of anxiety upon ths part of the
thoughtful is to produce as much wool
as we need. Wo have no idea that the
people of this country will ever eat
goat meat. But there is to be an effort
made to try to convince them that they
had better do it, and if there is any re-
sult of note at ail from it, it will be th»
hindering of the full development of
our sheen and wool interests.—Western

point of devotion to civil service re-
form ; but at the same time it de-
clares that if it had been understood
during the last campaign that Cleve-
land would so construe the civil ser-
vice law as to turn out none but the
inefficient and dishonest Republican
officeholders, "Elaine would have
beaten him by 50 to 100 electoral
votes." As Cleveland plainly said
that if elected he would construe the
law in exactly that way, he can now
see that papers like the Star sup-
ported him on the theory that he was
unworthy of confidence—though why
they should complain because they
have been fooled by a man whose
word they had no respect for in the
