THE CATERPILLAR PLAGUE. ‘Worms, Sparrows, And Other Subjects. ‘To the Editor of Tux EVENING STAR. I was made very angry by a letter in last Saturday's Star, and J, for one, will not have my trees rid of eaterpiilars “upon receipt of an official notice.” If the laws and police of the country will not protect the insectivorous birds, then, ['say, let them rid the trees of caterpillars themselves, or rather let the government at- tend to it, There are numerous facts regarding the slaugliter Of our insecteating and song birds in @ pamphlet called Bulletin No. 1, of the po-e.

The mutila- tion of the trees was of minor importance, pro- ided ithad been done two weeks earlier, be- cause they could soon renew their foliuge, if the 1s had been destroyed before having other bests; buta great many of the nests were en- lirely devoid of worms, they having leit and were, and are now, devastating all the sur- rounding shrubbery of our beautiful yards and parks, My yard Is tull of them. I took pains lo-day to couint the number on one of the Iron posis on 15th street and McPherson Park, viiere they had collected to escape the rain, One post had 50 wormson it, and the adjoining sues wily as Inany. There dre 44 posts on the east side of this park. so you see there were 2-200 worms on Uhesé 44 posts alone. Now, when I tell you that the bodies of tne large trees adjoining were also alive with thein, a litde calculation will show what we may ex- pect from them neXt year unless the sparrows, (those valuable importations,) take the matter Up and go to work. It is evident we must have this work done earlier in the season. For ten yeurs I have taken a high step ladder early in the season and cut off every nest on every tree around my premises, and crusied the life out of every young worm; but this year the trees were too large, and I could not do it, and I bad the mig.ortune to see them daily crawling away at least LWo Weeks Letore anything was done. I do not profess to kuow who is responsible for (nis serious neglect, but I do hope It may be corrected.

These were out of the batch of 141 bills sent to him on June 24th, One hundred and twenty were approved and one was withdrawn by the House. He gives his reasons tor each velo. He sets it forth asa principle that the government cannot under- take to recompense soldiers for all the natural ills that befatl them In aiter life, not consequent upon their service, With relation to the pro- fessional “friend of the soldier” he says that tenderness towards those who have fought the nation’s battles is ® natural sentiment of al good citizens, and that no one is entitied to es pecial credit for feeling it, The blatant and noisy self-assertion of those who, from motives that may weil be suspected, declare theinselves above all others friends of the soldier, cannot discredit nor belittle the calm, steady and affectionate regard of a grateful nation, ‘The bill granting a pension to Francis Dem- Ing, on account of blindness, with which he was stricken nineieen years after the war, and which it was alleged resulted from ri contracted in the war, 1s vetoed be not appear likely any way due to military service, As vetoed because, wound was inflicted by a guard in atteinpting to prevent the claimant iron de- sertity, fhe reason given tor the veto of Jas, Carroll's bill ty that he received bis wound while In the act of plundering.
