The boa proof of "the truth of our
nint.'mpi:t is seen in the fact that, of
the millions of immigrants who pour
into this country from Europe, many
of 'whom amass independence and
wealth in a few years, only a small
'percentage return, to their old homes,
to which" they are hound by the
strongest ties of affection. Tho New

continual watehf ulness over tire con

Alarge p'ait of our prosperity is
due t our large territory and small

did besmear their mouths.
Then was to be seen a sight deplora

thev did use it in secret. Some it
made bold by its energy, 'to use it in
defiance of decency and the wishes of
their friends; ana they all did slobber
and spit, and their months did snow
the sign thereof, with the unsightly
dark stain around them, and1 they did
run their tongnes round their Hps to
clean them, and then they did spit
again and their handkerchiefs were
defiled and oftentimes their clothes.
Many grew5 sallow and husky and
tremulous, and had more trials than

bequeathed impaired constitutions to

cursed by this fashion exceedingly,

Cotton caterpillar, or army-worm,
(Anomis xilince. The visitation of
,his pest has been one of great severi
ty in the more southern cotton States.
It appeared without doing much dam
ago rfn five counties of South Carolina,
iRi.cmand, Williamsburg, Laurens,
Marlborough, and Orangeburg. It
was reported as not very injurious in
Brooks, Lee, Muscogee, Macon,
(Worth, Glynn, Baldwin, (and Twiggs
Counties, Georgia; but its i ravages
were quite serious in Decatur, Schley,
JMarion, Early, Coweta, Calhoun, Jef-
erion, and Stewart. In Early Coun-
y it is stated that, those worms which
ad not webbed up were catiug the
oung bolls. In Macon the caterpil
lar required a longer period for pro
Creation and showed far less of de.
structive energy than formerly. A
few persons in this county denounced
ihe effects of poisons as worse than
the injuries of the worms, but no spe
cific facts were presented. '
J In Florida injuries were compara
tively light in Jackson, Gadsden, Col
umbia Alachua, Hamilton, and Su
wannee Counties, but more severe in
Jefferson, Liberty, Wakulla, Madison,
and Leon. Experience vanes in re
gard to Paris green and other poisons.
In Liberty the worms appear to ig
nore and despise all efforts for their
extirpation. In Madison few had faith
enough to try any remedies. In.Jefr
ferson some were successful for tho
time, but complained that the worms
returned after tejn or twelve days. In
Leon judicious efforts of this kind were
uito successful!.
In several counties of Alabama tho
catterpillar was quite active even in
July, the injuries being more severe
on fresh bottom-lands. In Montgom
ery the pest appeared fifteen days ear
lier than last year. Severe injuries
were experienced in Russell, Marengo,
Macon, Dallas, Conecuh, Choctaw,
HaIe,tBarbour, Henry, Clarke, Pike,
Butler, Perry, apd Autauga; the in
fliction was lighter in Greenshaw,
Chambers, Wilcox, Coffee, Jefferson,
and (Ireen. In Franklin the caterpil
lar has never been known. Iu many
localities Paris green and other poisons
were used with variant success, but
many had too little faith in their effi
cacy and too much apprehension of
accidents to use them properly. In
such caes the insects . were only
checked and not destroyed. In Perry
and Dallas Counties poisons were used
with satisfactory results when judi
ciously applied at an early period after
the appearance of the worms.
In Mississippi caterpillars were no
ticed about the ' last Week of July,
though in Warren County they pd t in
an appearance on tne otn. iney
lightly affected Newton, Rankin, and
Wilkinson Counties, but wero more
numerous and destructive in Warren.

In the last-named county half the crop
was saved by the energetic use of
poisons. Several specific preparations
of Paris green -were -reported as suc
cessful indifferent counties". In Lib
erty County? the worms were quite de
structive upon red land, but scorn od
to avoid the crops on gray land. i
In Union, Hempstead, Dorse', Col

kansas, these wonts were not very
formidable, but they made their mis
chievous power felt in Polk and Ash-j

is to be sold in a few months for debt.
Tho Convention expended before the
war $7,003 on this building. It is built
of granite and covered with tin. This
wilt be the handsomest building West
of lyhe Blue - Ridge, when complete;
and they have determined to finish it.

Paris green (mixed with flour); has
been used experimentally, with some
success. Many people hesitate to use
it for fear of poisoning, and some have
used it to little purpose. These expe

without any fear of infringing on pat

'Baltimore, Oct. 2d.Thc employees
in the Naval office and surveyor's de
partment of the Custom House, when
receiving their September Salaries,
were given notice by the superiors
that they must pay a certain percent
age upon them for a-purpose not
stated. At the same time it was hinted
to them that if they did not pay up
their resignations would bo received.
They were directed to go to No. 621 J
West Baltimoro street, where some
cue would be in waiting to take the
money and give them receipts. The
amount levied was ono 'and a half per
cent, upon all salaries under $2,000
and two per cent, upon those above
that figure, .the levy to bo upon the
salary for the year. Tho employees
who wont up to pay the money found
that it was received by the Secretary
of tho Republcan Executive Cmmittee
in" a secluded back room', and that they
could dbtain no acknowledgement of
their payment. A number of the em
ployees, who remembered the Filloy
precedent in St. Louis, refused to pay
the money. They say the Filloy case
authorizes them to believe that the
Government will not sanction such a
blackmail for political purposes, and
that they will refer their case to the
Treasury Department if necessary.-
The Republican party of Maryland
has always levied upon tho office-holders
for campaign money, and has nev

it took to its legs (six in number) and

It seems to have no oye for it ran
against every object he placed before
it. At length it ran off the. table,
falling to the carpet, and in trying lo
recover it he accidently stepped upon
and .killed it. He describes it as be
ing a most wonderful looking object,
and differing essentially from anything
he had ever seen or beard of. He is
confident that it could not have made
its way into the tooth, and feels sure
that it was generated in the decaying
dentine, substance. He presumes that
small atoms of food may havo made
their way through tho perforation and
served to t furnish sustenance to the
queer looking object. He feels the
utmost certainty that this is an indu
bitable instance of spontaneous generation.

An invention which threatens to in
terfere greatly with cur commerco is
reported from Paris, and if it proves a
success it will probably have the effect
of causing an cutirc revolution among
the Southern planters. This now dis
covery is a method of making sugar
by uniting into a compound its con
stituent atoms of carhon, hydrogen,
oxygejn. The inventor, M. Jouglet,
says that tho cost bf production will
bo 50 bents per cwt.,- and ho has al
ready !so far succeeded in establishing
the utility of his intention that a com
pany of manufacturers have been per
suaded to purchase it from him for tho
comparatively moderate litllq sum of
$240,000. What the sugar planters
and refiners will do if this dicovery
turns to be as important as it prom
ises remains to be seen; but thcro is
no doubt that if it is only partially
successful strange developcmcnts may
be expected. The invention is said to
be very simple and ono easily explain
ed, and endless quantities of saccha
rine substances can, it is claimed, be
manufactured by this new process in
so short a time and at so small a cost
as to preclude the possibility of com.
