8 THE ARMY WORM. | - ‘an Enemy That the Long Island Farmers Are Pighting. —_——— A Frightful Pest to Market Gardeners. Along with unusually abondaat crops this season have come more than the usual variety of pests, which fs is nocomary for the farmer to battle with persistently be order that be may benets by the abundance whieh mature has given him. Grasshoppers have overrun portions of the West, devastating acres upon acres of waving grain The Colorado potato beetle has swept felis Kast and West as bare as stubble fields; and now comes the formidable army worm, marching from field to field by millions, and eating ap almost every green and succulent thing as It goes, Whence they come or | whither they go it is apparently impossible to deter- mine, Their appearance '§ sudden and unheralded, and their disappearance is fully as mysterious They swarm literally by miltone in a night, and before ther presence is even known acres of crops may be do troyed This may seem like exaggeration, but it Is not, ms many an unfortunate farmer on Long Island will Feadily testify. DESCRIPTION OF THE PEST. Like the cabbage-worm, cominonly known as the “cut-worm,” these pesta are the product of a butterfy er moth, bat are unlike them in appearance and habits, Whe moth from which the army worm comes is | ‘ene of the night fying spectes, yellowish drab, 4nclining t4 russet, in color, with a small white dot neaf the centre of its fore wings, and a dusky, oblique stripe at their tipa It is rather less than inch in length, and ‘when tho wings are extended it is about an inch and three-quarters from tip tw ttp. The larva of the worm varies considerably in color and stee with age and lo- ality, but its characteristic markings are so constant es to render it readily distinguishable It varies in Yength from jess than one inch to ome and three-quarter ‘aches; is of a dark gray color, with three narrow ye Jowish stripes above, and a broader one of the same color, or slightly darker, on each side, and thinly clothed with short hairs, which are larger and thicker on and sbout the head—the later being of a polished honey yellow, with a network of fine dark brown Mnes, and black dines on the front, like the letter V reversed. The worn, or caterpillar itself, when folly grown, measures from ene and three-fourths to two inches in length—the latier when well fed—and is about as thick as an ordinary goosequil; color, a lighter or a darker gray,,with two Jateral stripes, the upper with s yellowish central lipe and the lower @ reddish one; legs, sixteen, six true or pectoral, eight prolegs or abdominal, and two anal, at the extremity of the body; the hend brownish, some- times marbled and shining; a few sbort hairs on the and larger straggling ones on the bead. The pupa $s of 8 mahogany browa color, nine lines in length, and Sipped as the end with a short spina Tite pupa in the Mastern States, by the way, while of the same color, ¥: Flew in size, it being usually smaller, and the spmages os, or cleft at the apex. Unti) within a comparatively ehort time the ravages of the army worm were mostly confined to the Southern | Btates, where the cotton Heide were their favorite fee 4ng grounds Millions were lost to the planters throagh the wholesale destruction of their great staple. In their progress North they first struck the Western Btaies, and tt is through the experience there gained that Lhe farmers are pow able to combas them with suc- cess when warned of their approwch. Fifleon years ago they first made their appearance on Long Island, in juch the same unhersided manner as this year, ab ee ce Jess numbera In the meantime, as they have not reappeared, it was established as s theory that the Northern winters were too severe for the larva wv exist and that they had thus been effectually exter wii ‘This theory, however, as {t Dow appears, ‘was fallacious They come in ovuniiess numbers end with ravenons appetites.

The condition and quality of all kinds of frait whieh arrived yesterday at this market showed a marked im- provement over the stuf which was sent in during last week, On Satutday last such was the glut of peaches that they were sold for any price they would fetch, thousands of erates beng sold out as tow as ten cents each, Whole wagon loads were simply dumped into the garbage scowe for tho reason that it was impossible to keep them, There was on that day, however, «large quantity of small green peaches, as hard as bullets, | whieh were dieposed of to travelling street venders and | keepers of stalls, These were sold to the poorer | of the community, who were induced to make pui owtng to the temptingty low prices. The peache: | ever, were (oudly unfit for consumption, and were likely | | to produce sicknesses such as cholera, cholera morbus, | diarrhoea, &e, Even yesterday it was a common sight } to we small children running through the streets with | some wrree or four of these balletlike green peaches in their hands, which they had purchased from @ neighboring corner stand for a penny, aud which were sold by the venders without regard to the positive danger to the health of their diminutive pur- chasers, Again, there are everywhere to be sven | BARD, GREMN, ONKIPR APYLAS, pears, melons, Av., exposed for sue which are unfit to be eaten.

When the picnics were commenced in July {t was the {intention of the trustees to continue them as long as the warm weather lasted, in order that the children in every tenement district might enjoy « share in the ben- efits of the free excursion fund Last season there were given twelve excursions, at an expense of a little over $8,000, the aggregate number of children taken being nearly 23,000. his year the rale against taking out children over fourteen years has been striculy enforced, tn order that the younger onea might be better taken care of; hence the nomber im each party is lesa than those of last year. Only those who have participated in the festivities ef these unique excursions can have any ade- qnate conception of the delight and enthusiasm mani- fested by the children, and if those who are interested in this most charitable movement could see how much good their money accomplishes the trustecs would have no need to make appeals. A correspondent of Tax Hur Aup incloses $1 for the fund and suggests that, as that sam will secure a whole day of fun, and healthful pleasure for at least two children, it would be a good plan if every one approving of the free excursions would vend at least that amount to the trustees, The trustees will, no doubt, be glad to re. cecieve any snm, so that they may be en abied to complete ‘the work in hand.

The financial part of the controversy has been #o ably written and spoken af by both sides that it is well under- stood by all parties both in and out of the Stata But the “school question” has been the subject of meagre discussion and notice, and its importance for the mo- ment has been ‘dwarfed by the interesting and able discussion of the finances During this season of obscurity this question hag been assuming cew and more important proportions than ever before belonged to it, and when they are pre- sented to the public are likely to attract fully as much attention as the finances and become falty as important the country at large.

J.

The requisite provisions for carrying out the purposes of the bill was embodied in tt As soon as this bill had bean placed before the Legis- lature all the Catholic journals in the country, and expecially in the West, proclaimed it a Catholic measure and demanded its passage, and the author of the soon after it was presented in open letter procial its purpose and demanded for {t democratic support, The republicans opposed this bill, declaring that it was but the entering wedge to a demand for a division of the school fund for sectarian purposes, and there was a great deal of heated discussion over the bill. On 80, 1875, the following bill was passed by nearly a strict party vote, the democrats voting for and the r against it:— THE BILL PARSED.

Becrion 1.—-Bo it enacted by the General Assembly of the Stace of Obio, that as liberty of conscience Is not forfei by reason of conviction on crime, or by reason of detention in any penal, reformatory or eleemosynary institution, or any house of refuge, workhouse, Jail or public asylum in Btste, no person in any such institution shall be com. to Ps ‘attend religious worship or instruction of S form which ts against the’ dictates of his. er her conscience it shall be the of every director, trustes, superintendent or other person hav- Jng in chargo any euch'institution vo furnish ample and ognal facilities to all such persons for receiving the ministrations he authorised clergymen of their own religions denomina- tions or persuasions, under uch reasonable rules and regula fons as the trustees, directors, managers or superintendents shall makes but no dich rules shall be so eonstroed aa to pre- Yent the clergyman of any denomination from fully adminte tering the rites of bis denomination to suck inmates, pro- vided such ministration entail no expense upon the pul treasury. ‘So. 2.—This act shall take effect from and after its passage From that time to this there has been a deal of bitter feeling between the parties upon that question, the republicans declaring that lis results will be an attermpt to divide the school fund, and thus lessen the usefulness of the public schools; and although the dem- ocratic, as well as the republican, platform declares strongly against any such division of the educational fund, they have succeeded in stirring np a sentiment that seems likely to result in a politico-religious warfare this fall, in which Protestantism will be arrayed against Catholicity. Such a controversy is, of course, to be de plored, but nevertheless it seems inevitable, and one of the strong, features of it is thas it is being the result of secret organization. The speaks ers on both sides so far have made no studied remarks on this subject; aud while all of them have briefly alluded to it, none have soemed Wo regard THE “SCHOOL QUESTION’? 25 of very great importance, especially on the demo- cratic side, The republicans have gone on organizing and perfecting their plan® for tho until a good strong force has been gathered in ®ecret compact, and keep the object and aims of their organization “a sealed book” to all save those who seek alliance with them, offensive and defensive, against Catholicity. These societies do not be or claim to be under the parent- ago of the State Republican Committee, I believe, but have sprung up as local organizations by republican leaders, Cleveland, it is said, being the parent obty. It is impossible to tell their strength. early every tooality of the dignity of a village has ono or more of them, there being two here, and the numbers are increasing with rapidity. It has been IMmtimated that it was a revival of Know Nothingism, bat its pur- poses and creed are more comprehensive and vastly different. This society does not propose to make war upon foreigners—simply upon the Catholics Any one to them and a Protestant can join, and the war is 40 be carried into all the political relations of life, There is no restriction as to political affiliation ex- pressed, the principal exaction being an unrelenting op- position t Catholics, and recruits are sought from all parties, THE ORGANIZATION seems yet to be crude, and no ritual has been as yet adopted, The following form for affidavit and questions tw candidates has been prepared.
