Fairchild believe that a panic will result early in the fall if this is continued. Even if Secre

tary Fairchild should carry out his extraordi nary programme and anticipate the govern ments interest i for a yar, na also purcnase bonds, he can not avert the storm. 1 he policy he has inaugurated has for its main object to prevent an extra session of Congress. It is a most daneeroua experiment, and if carried oat mil seriously injure the Democratic party." AN EXTRA SESSION. t. Congressman's Polo ted Talk with the President About the Matter. Washington special. A member of Congress who called on the Prosdent yesterday broached the subject of an exira session of Congress. He said: "Mr. Presilent, I presume you will call us together by the Jrst of October!" "I don't know." replied Mr. Cleveland. "I hope it will cot be necessary. "In my judgment," said the Congressman, "it will be necessary. The financial market is not very strong now, and there is no telling what may happen with our rapidly increasing sur plus." ''What if the surplus does not increase s fast !or the next six months, as yea seem to expect!' uezested the President. "But all the indications are that it will keep on increasing as fast as ever. That is the judg ment of all the revenue officers and others with whom I have talked on the subject," was the re ply. "Well," said Mr. Cleveland, "what assnrance have we, if I call Congress together in October, that tbey will accomplish anything!" "That is rather a strange remark to come from the executive, said the Congressman boldly. "Yoa are cot responsible for what Congress may or may cot do. Your duty in the premises is ended in calling Congress together. Congress must then tar:e the responsibility of its own acts. That there is a public necessity for an extra ses sion is apparent. The tariff needs reducing. and the constantly increasing surplus in the Treasury is a menace to the prosperity of the sonntry. The President replied that he believed Contress should do its work at the regnlar sessions which were provided for by law. His tone was not very decided, however, and the Congress man left with the impression that there was more than an even chance that an extra session would be called. MINOR MENTION. Successful Conclusion of the Negotiations of the Northwest Indian Commission Washington, July 3. The Northwest Indian commissive, perhaps one of the most important eor:niBsions of the kind ever sent out by the government, has completed its labors, and is now about ready to submit a final report to the Com- : siocer of Indian Affairs. This commission was empowered to treat with thirty-one different bands or tribes, scattered all oyer the North western States and Territories. By the terms of the various agreements made, the Indians cave been dealt with just ly, ample provision made for tbeir support, education and civilization, and by the jessinns of land, between twenty-five and thirty million acres of land, timbered, agricultural. grazing and mineral, will be opened for sale and settlement, which now lies idle and unproduc tive. Rights of way for railroads have been obtained over which railroads are now being, or are to be, constructed. It is believed that the negotiations of this commission have tended to increase the confidence of the tribes visited in the sense of justice and kindly intentions of those who have control and management of Indian affairs. General Notes. Washington'. July 3. General Morey, re ceiver of Middleton & Co.'s bank, which failed three years ago, has filed his second report. The creditors, it is calculated, will receive about a sent on the dollar. Henry A. Peed, of Shoals, Ind., chief of a special examiner s division in the Pension Bureau, has been reduced to the rank of an exam iner, and is to be sent to the field. His salarr was about $2,500 a year, but now is $1,400. with $3 a day for expenses. It is said that three Republican examiners from Indiana have been ordered in to have their heads chopped oft. The President yesterday appointed Leonard A. Geigerich, of New York city, to be collector of internal revenue for the Third district ol Mew York, in place of Morris Freidsam. DAIXY WEATHER BULLETIN.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS

Mr. Gray's Interesting but Unsatisfactory Experience with White Caps. Tippecanoe County's Biff Job of Indexing" A Costly Freight Wreck Fatally Shot at a Dance Bloody Aflray at Blue Mound. INDIANA. Incidents Which Caused Mr. Gray to Regret that lie Visited Marengo. Special to the Indiananolis Joaraau I Cokvdov, July 3. Samuel Gray, a citizen of Paoli, got a notion into his head that he wanted to visit Marengo, Crawford county, although he had no special business at that place. He ac cordingly harnessed up his old gray mare and drove over, taking his small child along to see the sights. The first point of interest he struck was a saloon, and ho proceeded to fill his hide with the pale-red article of Crawford county manufacture. He wanted to show the people of Marebgo that ha was an expert driver, and he consequently drove abont the streets in a very reckless manner, finally overturning his wagon and spilling him self and his child out upon a pile of rocks, both being considerably injured. Gray was taken to a house and put to bed, where he remained until 12 o'clock at night, when a hand of White Caps called upon him and gave him forty-nine lashes upon the bare-back. When the White Caps re leased him he at once started for home, expressinedeep regret that he had ever struck Marengo. Affidavits were filed against him next morning, a constable was sent to Paoli after him, and he was brought back and fined for being drunk. A Bigger Job than They Thonght. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lafayette, July 3. Tippecanoe county has appealed from the decision of the Circuit Court to that of the State in the case of Mitchell vs. The Board of Commissioners. A former board contracted with Mitchell to perform the work of indexing old papers in hi3 office, fixing the price at 3 cents an entry. The board went about its business, and Mitchell employed men to index. When he finished, he presented a bill for about 0,000 entries. The new board lost its breatb for awhile, and then, under advise of the county attorney, refused to pay it. Mitchell appealed, and the upper court held that there was a con tract and the bill should be paid. Hence the appeal. If this was the only bill of the kind, the County Commissioners would breathe easier. bnt the auditor has a claim, not yet presented, that is alleged to be two or three times aa large as that of Mitchell, and for similar work in his office. The amount of work done, doubtless, ex ceeded the expectation of tne commissioners who made the contract, or it would probably never would hare been made. A Costly Freight Wreck. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Wabash, July 3. At Laketon, this county, early this morning, a freight train on the Chi cago & Atlantic Railway was completely wrecked under peculiar circumstances. While running at a lively speed down a grade seven miles west of Laketon, one car jumped the tract and the couplings of two cars ahead were broken. Th e engineer kept well out of the way of his train until he reached the Eel-river bridge, at Laketon, when the rear end caught him and half a dozen loaded cars were wrecked and ten or twelve more pecipitated into the river. The engine remained on the bridge, which is so shat tered that it will have to be rebuilt. Traffic on the line was suspended for eight hours. No one was injured. Fatally Shot at a Dance. j Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, July 3. At three o'clock this morning, at a colored dance three miles from the city, Squire Wright, a negro, shot and fa tally wounded Green Johnson and seriously wounded Mrs. Burch, both colored. The two men bad a fight over a dusky maiden and drew revolvers. Wright tpot the drop on Johnson and shot him in the neck, paralysis resulting. He then made his escape and has since not been apprehended. Wright is a bad neero, and wounded a man in the same house or-e before. Jonnson is now in the city hospital, and the at tending physicians say he will die to-night. Northern Indiana Tile-Makers. Special to the Indianaoslis Journal. North Manchester, July 2. The Tilemakers' Union of Northern Indiana convened in this city to-day.

ILLINOIS. I"""' A Bloody Cuttlne Affray, Growing Oat of a Llqnnr-Tradlo Quarrel. j Decatur, July 2. A bloody cutting affray occurred near a saloon at Blue Mound this fore noon. Tbe trouble grew oat of the prejudice

against the liquor traffic and the attempt of the assailant to black-mail the saloon-keeper.- W. E. Westbrook, a young man from Grove City, west of Blue Mound, wrote William Gross, keeper of the saloon, a letter, telling him that he knew he had sold liquor to a minor, and that he would keen still if Gross would put up $25. Gross mat Westbrook to-day, and wanted to know if be had written the letter. He acknowledged that he had, and struck at Gross. The saloon-keeper knocked Westbrook down, and in the scuffle "Westbrook stabbed Gross in the left breast, near the heart, severing a rib and penetrating tbe lung. Westbrook attempted to get away, but was captured and held to answer without bail. He was placed in the Decatur jail this evening. Gross is believed to be fatally injured, and lies in a critical condition this evening. The town is greatly excited over the affair. Last spring the village went anti-license by a large majority, but the old board stole a march on the people by gran tine a license to two saloons until the spring of 1883. Gross is a man of family, and was raised in the town. Train-Wreckers Arrested. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, July 3.

No one was hurt. CITIZENESS LILLIE 1ANGTRT.

She Will be Naturalized as a Matter of business Duty and Pleasure. San Francisco Special to New York World. The World correspondent to-day found Mrs. Langtry at her beautiful little hojbe on the Mission. "I'm glad to 6ee a representative of The World," she said, extending her hand. "Take a seat and tell me what you would ask me. "Ob, abont my citizenship? That is a question very easily answered. I have become a citizen because I like the people: because I mean to live in America; because I hold real estate, and I have declared my intention in San Francisco because it takes a shorter time here than in New York." "Then you intend to make the United States your home?" "Certainly, I do. My sentiments have been already fully expressed. I am very much in love with America. I think the people charming, and as I have invested in real estate and intend to invest more, I think it would be better for the protection of my interests to become a citizen of the country wherein l intend to live, men. again, I'm thinking of purchasing a farm in this fetate. 1 am passionately fond or farming. 1 want a farm with plenty of fruit and flowers. It is not generally known, but I am an excellent gardener, and horticulture is one of my special delights. Why, at home I have a tiny garden I call it mine, but it belongs to my brother-in-law where I have planted 1,500 different varie ties of lilies. The lily, you know, is my favorite flower so pure, 60 imraaculate-lookine. "I received a letter to-day from a friend wno says I am the first woman who has taken out naturalization papers in the United State. If that is true I will be the pioneer in this, as I have been in many other things. The truth is, I have the courage of my opinion, and ever since I was a small child I have had that independence. To be the first woman to take out papers is something to be proud of. I think it the imperative duty of every foreigner living r.ere to become a citizen. 1 ou (sneaking to Mr. Keogh) manage to enjoy the benefits of this lovely country and do not give allegiance to it , Why,v every Englishman I meet who lives here and who has not done what I have done, I urge to do so. It is right; it is nothing but right" repeat ing the words as though some effort was being made to shake ber convictions. "San Francisco, r Mrs. Langtry went on. "is to be my home. I have rented this srnall house, but my engagements are such that I cannot re side here permanently. I shall be back and forth all tho time, but this will actually be my home." "Have you any decided preference for any particular places?'' "I never asked myself that question, but New York is a city one cannot help liking. But I love this climate. It is rather trying upon tho complexion, I think, for the winds are rough. and they cut the akin dreadfully. It is only iq San Francieco that the winds are so cruel, however. In the interior it is different. "As to my domestic life, you must excuse ms from speaking. All reports concerning divorce proceedings are unauthorized and unwarranted, I have become a citizen from different motives. I want all the rights of citizenship. The people are very kind to me, and 1 appreciate their kind nesses. They are just and generous. Nobody could have been better treated than I have been. Would I elect to stay among them if I did not 1? re them?" Mrs. Langtry declined to speak upon the sub ject of the divorce laws of this State. The law reauires that tbe applicant snail nave resiued in the State for six months only, and it is generally a rather loose law. Italky Horses. A correspondent of an Irish paper makes tbess recommendations: First, pat the' horse on the neck, examine him carefully, first one side, then the other; if you can get him a handful of grass give it to him, and speak encouragingly to bim. Then jump into the wagon and give the word go, and he will eenerally obey. Second, taking tbe horse opt of the shafts and turning him around in a circle until he is giddy, will eenerally start him. Third, another way to cure a balky horse is, place your hand over his nose and shut off his wind until he wants to go. Fourth, then aeain, take a couple of turns of stunt twine around the fore legs, iust below tbe knee, tignt enough for the horse to feel it; tie in a bow knot. At the first click he will probably go dancing off. After going a sbort distance you can get out and remove the string, to prevent injury to the tendons. Fifth, again, you can try the following: Take the tail of the horse between the hind legs and tie it by a cord to the saddle-girth. Si xtb, the last remedy I know is as follows: Tie a string around the horse's ear close to the head. This will divert his attention and start him. Obituary. New Orleans, July 3. Hon.

THE FIELD OF GETTYSBURG

Continuation of the Reunion of the Veterans of the North and South. 3 ' : Survivors of the Philadelphia Brigade and Pickett's Division Revisit the Spot Where They Contended for 'Snpremacj. G etttsbprg. Pa., July 3. Very little more sleep visited the eyes of the people of Gettysburg last night than on the night of July 2, 1863. This morning dawned clear and beautiful, a perfect counterpart of the memorable day it commemorates. In place of cannon shots, however, the shrill shrieks of locomotives broke the Sabbath stillness as excursion after excursion reinforced the crowds already thronging the streets. The brilliant uniforms, the flashing arms and the mass of people moving in all directions over the field brought vividly to mi ad the scenes of the great conflict. The morning was spent in sight-seeing and going over the field. One house on Baltimore street, in which a rebel shell is sticking, attracted more than usual notice. This afternoon, as soon as j dinner was over, the veterans collected at their respective headquarters, and at 1:30 p. m. the procession formed at the Eagle Hotel, and, led ; by Adjutant Whitcar and followed by the band, took up its march toward the place where twenty-four years before the Philadelphia men had held their position apainst the famous Pickett's division of Longstreet's corps, Army of Northern Virginia. The procession proceeded out Baltimore street to the place where the Emmottsburg road joins it, and which was the outer post of Union sharp-shooters during the fight.. Out the Emmettsburg road to Battle-field avenue the wearers of the blue badges and white hel mets proceeded. Slowly they made their way through the dust which covered the roads. At length they reached "Bloody Angle," the band struck up "Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys," and the old Philadelphia brieade was once more on the ground they so nobly defended aeainst such overwhelming odds. On they came past the monument of the Seventyfirst, past the monument of the Sixty-nintb; halt! and back they went past the monuments again. Then the Hibernia Rifles marched past between and drew up in front of the Sixty-ninth monument. The scene was strikingly : magnificent. Ten miles away ou the west are the heights of the Blue Ridge, folding around the town like an amphitheatre, and a soft breeze is lazily moving the ripening grain; one mile away, and reaching from Round Top on the south to the Harnsburg road on tbe north, are the woods, all beautiful in tbeir green dress, from whiclrPickett'a division, on the eventful 3d of July, 1863, emerged and started across tbe mile of almost level coun try which lies between their sheltering gloom and Cemetery Ridge. The stone-fence is still standing behind which the Philadelphia brigade made its heroic stand, and the two monuments of the Sixty-ninth and Seventy-first are located within a few feet of it. I A few minutes after 2 o'clock the Sixty-ninth marched to the stand erected for the purpose, and there the assemblage was called to order by CoL O'Brien, who introduced Adit. A. W. McDermott, who read a list of the killed and mortally wounded of tbe Mxty-niuth Regiment. He then presented Gen. Joshua T. Owen, who delivered the oration. During his speech the General said that I tbe commander of the Philadelphia brigade,; when he placed them at the stone wall in such an advanced po sition, knew they would stay there and hold that position till death. He referred to the manner in which they got the name of ''Paddy Owen's Regulars," and pointed out General Brown as the man who so called them. He said he hardly knew what to say to the men who, twenty-four years ago to-day, emereed from the woods 1,300 yards away and made the terrible assault on the Union line. ' "Let them place their monument where they wish," he continued. "Armistead and several others pierced our line, and here, within a few feet of this spot, he fell wounded unto death. The renowned phalanxes of Alexander would not have dared to make tbe charge Pickett made. In closing he called for three cheers for Pickett's division as a proof of their friendship. They were given with a will, as were three cheers for General Owens. Colonel Reilly then presented the monument to the care and keeping of the Battle-fieli Memorial Association. It was received in their name by CoL J. B. Batcbelder. As soon as Col. Batchelder had finished. Colonel Reilly arose and, in the name of tbe Sixty-ninth Regiment, presented him with a handsome gold watch, appropriately inscribed. The Colonel was much surprised, and in a few words thanked the regiment for its kind remembrance of him. Before the ceremonies began. Mrs. Pickett, escorted by General Burns, took her seat on the platform, and the crowd at once cheered her. Adjutant-general MeDermott stepped forward and presented ber with a beautiful floral cross, which had been given the brigade by Mrs. Raed, of Philadelphia, and which they now wished to present to her. She arose and merely bowed her thanks. This finished tbe ceremonies of the Sixtyninth and the Seventy-first took the platform, and Captain Stockton introduced General Burns, who succeeded General Baker in command, as the orator. The General spoke for some time, but finally took out his paper and read. When he finished Gen. Baldy Smith was presented, and spoke for only a few minutes. It fell upon General Wyhtar to turn the monument over to the Battle-fieid Memorial Association, and he was so much affected by the sight of the small number of the brigade remaining that it took him some moments to master bis feelings, and occasionally duriusr his speech his voice would choke and he with difficulty continued. The monument was accented in the name of tbe association by CoL John M. Vauderslice, of Philadelphia. Col. It. Penn Smith, then, in a very interesting speech, turned over to the memorial association the tablet of Cushing's battery, which was also received by Colonel Vanderslice. The crowd then moved near the famous clnmp of trees where the Cowan's battery monument is erected. When all was ready, Colonel Andrew Cowan introduced Rev. James K. Dixson, who offered prayer. Mrs. Pickett ascended the platform, and Colonel Cowan, rising, thanked ber for her presence, and also welcomed the wife of the commander of the Philadelphia brigade, whose huaband, twenty-four years agq, then an aid on Webb's staff, brought him tbe order to place his guns where tbe monument now is, and whom he had not seen again till last night. He then presented Serino E. Payne as the orator, who spoke for about twenty minutes. Then Colonel Cowan transferred the monument to the memorial association, in whose behalf it was accepted by Cant. S. C. Wagner. Lieut. William Sawyers, on behalf of the battery, then thanked Colonel Cowan for his efforts to bring about this dedication and make it a success. Perhaps the most interesting incident of the whole dedication was the presentation by CoL Cowan to the Pickett Division Association of a sword which he took during 'Pickett's famous charge. It is about three feet long, the handle is of mother-of-pearl and the blade of finely-pol-iBbed steel. The way it came into the possession of Colonel Cowan was thus: During tbe charge a very young rebel officer jumped toward the gun at which he was standing, put was immediately shot down and his sword fell at the Colonel's feet. He kept it, but has never been able, to restore it to the family of the officer, and he has now eiven it to the division, in order that they may take measures to see that it is returned to the proper persons. Major J. C. Crocker, of Virginia, accepted it in the name of the Pickett Division Association, promising to do all that was possible to find the family of the officer. i Orchard Knemles Correspondence Farmers' Beview. ; We hear it remarked frequently that the myriads of fruit, plant and vegetable devouring insects with which we must contend to secure even a portion of either is enough to discourage those engaged in their production. From tbis despondent view I dissent, as we have found by the aid of science a remedy for such difficulties in each case as fast as they are presented, and usually the means are simple; indeed, the main remedies being a determined persistence in the application of the means of extermination. It sometimes takes a number cf seasons of suffering, and the expounding, "line upon line." to awaken some to the fact that there is a remedy, and the real necessity of thorough use. Having from childhood been the watchful guardian of plant life in and out doors, I confess to a bloodthirstiness for the destruction of all such pests and a propensity to destroy them, so when our learned scientists show us a way I make baste in its practice. Wormy apples bare been a "thorn is the the flesh" with us, as with every orcharditt we know, for years. We have kept the swine in tbe orchard from tbe first falling of green apples and until tbey were fattened, have plowed, planted, seeded by turns with no perceptible diminution of the enemy which forestalled us in tie possession of Spy and Baldwin and all other dligbts of the orchard, until disgust took the place of appetite for apples. Last spring the remedy proposed by, I think. Professor Cook, to stray the trees with London purple or Parts green, was in this wise: If only one spraying can be attended to let it be when apples are the

size of peas, but if two, which is better, let the

tirst be done when the flowers fade. We sprayed at the time when the fruit was as large as peas, no larger, and it was emphatically the thing. The yield was immense, of rood sound fruit. and bushels of apples with never a worm, lt seemed miraculous. I advise everyone who owns an apple tree to spray it with a solution of Paris green. 1 his spraying comes at a busy season, but it is a job that can be hurried througb, and 300 to 400 trees can be done in a day with water handy. I think tbe best guide for strength of solution is the color of it, which should be only a pale green, as no donbt if too strong the foliage and likely the fruit will be blackened, or as if scorched; and enough is just enough. We put a quantity in a pail and half filled it with water. and dipped from that into the tub we pumped irom. TJIE MIGHTY DOLLAR. Jay Gonld Talks About the Money-Making Art llow Great Losses Are Sustained. New York World. From the broad veranda on the back of his summer house at Irvington, on the Hudson, last night Jay Gould could see the lights gleam ingon his yacht at anchor in the river and hear the splash of passing steam and sail craft. The crickets chirped, the frogs croaked and tbe night birds whistled. The moon was full and flooded tne Deauiiiui grounds with light. The air was balmy with the odor of shrnb and flower. It was a mighty change from the scene in Wall street, where Mr. Gould was for years the great genius of the market the man who could twist values upward or knock them down at will. The cor respondent of the Wrorld toiled up tbe road to the white stone house ou the eminence. which looked like a grand palace in the moon light. A pull at the silver bell-handle brought a servant who took in tbe reporter s name, and a moment after tbe visitor was conducted to the little room which does duty as Mr. Gould's home office. The only thing, however, that gives it a business air was a table in the middle of the room, on which were piled the financier's letters and papers. After a cordial hand-shake, tne correspondent was invited to a seat, and Mr. Gould lay back in an easy chair. He seemed as free from care as a person who had nothing else to do but to enjoy life. "I would like to learn from you, Mr. Gould, in what way th? most money is to be made ( ' "There are two wavs in which the ereat losses in Wall street are sustained," replied Mr. Gould. "The first is by getting short of stock, and the next is by men bujing what they cannot pay for. The sudden whirls in speculation overwhelm operators. Danie! Drew was worth $16,000,000, but he lost money by beanne stocks." "Who are to be the leaders in the stock market hereafter? Some of the old leaders have died and most of the others have retired." "There are just as smart men in the street as ever there were. I here is b. V. White, for one. He is a man of great ability in speculation. An other is John D. Slavback, who is a man thor oughly capable of reading and handling the market, l might name a number of others who are capable of takinz prominent parts in the speculative realms. So far as I am concerned. as I have said before, 1 am wholly out of the market. I closed up all my contracts a year ago last January, and nothing could induce me to return to the street. When I was manipulating the market I had a great many combinations against me, and I had to get up early and continue at it until late to keep ahead. Bat I have fought my last fight in the street," said Mr. Gould, with a smiie at the recollection of his bulling and bearing days. "Do you believe that as good chances to make big fortunes in the street will be presented in the future as in tbe past?'' "I don't see what is to hinder the making of large sums of money. But the great fortunes will never be made in the street." "Where do you consider the most money is to be made?" "In the development of railroads. The railroad interests are the g -eatest and most favorable investments. The thing to do is to study a property, and see in vrbat ways it can be improved and made the most remunerative. If you can buy a railroad on 10 cents on the dollar, and by developing it make it worth par, or 100 per cent., you can readily see how money can be made in it. One plan is to let business grow up along the road. Commodore Vanderbilt did not make his money in Wall street, but by the development of business on tbe lines of his roads. Take the New York Central, for instance. The road was built, and subsequently large cities grew up along it. Now the road has the business of those cities. There are times when a large investor has to go into the market to protect his stock. . "There are times also when great bargains can be picked up in the market. Tbe bears got Missouri Pacific down to 60. I took all they offered, for I knew that par was cheap for it. When they could not get the stock to deliver, of course the price advanced." "How came you personally to select railroad investments?" "I have been interested in railroads ever 6ince I was a boy. I now think a railroad train is one of the grandest sights in the world. I like to see the great driving wheels fly round," and Mr. Gould made a circular motion with his band, "the eight reveals a great triumph of skill." "What is the difference between railroad construction uow and iu the past?" '"There is a very great difference. The Missouri Pacific is stocked at $11,000 a mile, while the bonded debt alone of the Union Pacific is $100,000 a mile. There is no realization of what a great undertaking the Union Pacific was. Some of the ties cost $10 apiece, and the iron rail cost $250 a ton. It was the first road across the continent, and was built amid great difficulties and obstacles. I remember my. first visit to it. I was shocked to see the prairies strewn with men's bones. It cost many lives to complete the work. The Sioux Indians were lurking about ready to pick off the men if they ventured away from military protection. "How, in your estimation, ought the government settle its claim against the Union Pacific?" "The government ought only to exact the principal of tbe Union Pacific's debt to it, and ought to give tbe company its own time in which to pay. Then the company could watch the money market, and when that was in a favorable state it could float a bond to pay off the indebtedness. It was never intended that the company should pay any more than the principal. The times have changed and the Union Pacific must have relief from its large debt. There must be a paring down of the interest and principal to put the property nearer to a level with the roads built at the modern cost. There are to be several more roads built across the continent. The Northwestern, the Burlington & Quincy and the Missouri Pacific are all extending toward the Pacific ocean. The high cost of the Union Pacifio will not enable it to bear thair competition. I have not a dollar's interest in the Union Pacific now. I have got out of all properties that have any political relations. I want to have ray investments where they will be free from governmental connections. I do not want to deal with political interests." 'What particular benefit has the government derived from the construction of tbe Union Pacific?" 'The building of that road settled the Indian question and allowed a large standing army to be dispensed witn. A small torce can be maintained and carried quickly from one point to an other on the railroad lines to quell disturbances." 'Do you make your railroad investments by combinations with others, or alone?" 'I make my investments separately from others. Russell Sage does the same way. People suppose we put our money together. That is not so. We may both be interested in the same properties, but the investment of each is separate. I know that people do not think our investments are separate. If I feel free to talk about a matter. I state tbe things exactly as they are. Even if there was anything to be gained by creatine a wrong impression, I found that the end could be more easily attained by telling the exact truth than by any other way. People invariably believed exactly the reverse of what was told them, said Mr. Gould, with a smile. "I strive to get as direct ors in the companies with which I am connected strong men and men who will take large interests. If tbey have large holdings tbey are watchful and conservative, and work for the development of the properties. Mr. Sage is a grand old wheel-horse. If he can be induced to take an interest in a propertv, he will take a large one and stand by it. He never sells his stock short." "Outside of what your investments yield, is the personal remuneration adequate to tbe attention you devote to properties in your official capacity?" 'I receive no salary irom any company oi which I am an officer. I look to my investments wholly for my income. When I make tbe tours of inspection of the Missouri Pacific I always pay my own expenses." "Do you believe, Mr. Gould, that tho break which has lately taken place 'is a good thing for the stock market?" "I think it is, for if it bad been delayed it would have been apt to be more serious. As it is, no disastrous consequences have resulted." "Do you look for a stead v improvement in the stock market from this time forward?" "Yes, I think we shall see an almost immedi ate improvement. " "Do you expect to see anything like a boom?" "I do not like booms. I have always noticed that booms come at the end of a prosperous seaeon and precede a collapse. " "Is the foreign participation in speculation In Wall street increasing?" 'Yes, there has been a large increase in foreign

speculation here. I told some of tbe boys in the office that I would give thern a suit of clothes each when we handled 100,000 messages in th Western Union building, at Broadway and Dey street, in a single day. Well, on Monday wa hacdled 105,000, and I have five suits of clothef to pay for. We bandied 7.000 words of cable tb same day. A good part of that was stock business. Cheap cabling is going to help the New York market London and other foreicn financial centers will hereafter be a much greater factor in our market." "Uow do you regard the money market?" "Gold will be coming this way very soon. I( will have a doubly-beneficial effect on the stock market. It will tnake money easier in the street, and make stocks stronger by absorbing them." It was by this time quite late, and. piloted by his host, the correspondent took a short cuf across the grounds to the railroad station.! The heavens were filled with stars, and the moon was glowing like a molten globe. Mr. Gould enjoyed the beauties of the night a few moments, and then returned to his family, who were gathered in a spacious sitting-room.

About Canning Fruit. Demorest's Magazine. Most of the trouble and disappointment experienced in canning fruits and vegetables which are always so much better when properly prepared at home than any put up in factories would be avoided if proper system and cars were observed, and with these the cannine. and even the preserving of fruit, need caust very little more labor or trouble than the making oi ordinary sauces. In tbe first place, the fruit tobe canned must be perfectly sound, and not even a day overripe, especially currants and berries) neither should the small fruits be allowed to stand over night after picking, if it can ba avoided. The iruit should be picked over very carefully, and, if absolutely necessarv, may be rinsed quickly through water and thoroughly drained, but the flavor will be much better if it be not. Before beginning operations i have everything ready, tbe fire just right, your jars perfectly clean and ready at hand, the tops and rubbers where there will not be a Becond lost in getting them when need ed, for much of the success of tbe process depends on the expedition with which tbe tops are put on and screwed down after the jars are fi'.led. The jars and the covers should both be hot. Have a kettle of hot water on the stove, and when the fruit is ready to be put in tbe jara plunge the jar in it so that the water will touch the outside and the inside at tbe same time, and then stand the jar in a dish-pan about a quartet full of hot water, which should have been already placed, on a table convenient to the stove, with the preservine-Kettle, a silver or wooden spoon. an earthen cup with a handle, and, if you have it, a can-filler. Set two or three heated jars in the pan at tne same time, lbe covers should be in a smaller kettle of hot water on the stove. Fill the jar with the hot fruit, run the spoonbandle down on all sides to let out tbe air, acd then fill to the brim with the hot sirup; put on the rubber, take the cover from the hot water and sere v on tightly. As the fruit cools screw down again, and when cold try again, as the glass contracts in cooling, and it is necessary that they should be air-tight. It is a crood plan to set the jars as soon as filled into another pan of water, to prevent staining the table, and also that the juice may not harden on the outside if any has run over. Always be careful to have the right cover and rubber for each jar. A good plan is always to put the rubber inside the jar and screw tbe top on as soon as it bas been emptied and properly washed. 1 here can then be no mistake when it is needed the second time. Bottles should always be thoroughly cleaned when emptied, also tbe corks belonging to tbem, and they will then be ready when they are needed for catchup, etc Wide-mouthed bot tles can be used for fruits. Ibese, also, should be hot when filled, and the sealing done immediately. When tin cans are used for tomatoes. corn, etc., they should be put in cold water aa soon as filled, and soldered immediately, f or cannine small fruits, a good rule is to allow onethird of a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit. Put water to the sugar in tbe proportion or about a teacupful of water to each pound of su gar: make into a syrup and skim carefully. ; Add the fruit, let it boil for ten minutes and it will be ready for canning. For pears, peaches, gages, etc., allow about the same quantity of suar as. for raspberries: pie plant will need a full half pound of sugar to a pound of stalk. Peaches should be pared, and can be canned whole or in halves. Pears should be canned whole, and if dropped immediately into cold water when pared will not turn black. Gages and plums should have the skin pricked with a needle to prevent bursting. Testa with Insecticides. Philadelphia Record. The damage annually done by insects is so ereat that farmers naturally welcome any rem edy that may be suggested as efficacious, and in order to enlighten them Professor Riley, ento mologist of the Department of Agriculture, tested nearly all the remedies that had been recommended by individuals or through the newspapers. His results show that ice water is not reliable as a remedy against the cabbage worm, while salt and water, and saltpeter and water also failed. One part carbolic acid to 100 parts of water injnred the leaves and did not kill tbe worms under the leaves. Pyrethrum, one part, and flour, three parts, dusted on the plants, killed three-fourths of the worms, while Wolfs soap, one ounce to a erallon of water, ap plied at a temperature of 90 killed one-half. Kerosene emulsion destroyed 80 per cent of all worms exposed to it, but buckwheat flour, ammonia, powdered alum, copperas water, carbolized lime, black pepper, tar water and tomato water were failures. Copperas water (one ounce copperas to a quart of water) had no effect, but when reduced to half that quantity of water it killed all the worms. Carbolate of lime drove them away, but did not kill them. did no good, though carbolate of lime in th . . buv c. .uuu .... v u . u wvy w . u . . u. w . bf male blossoms of squash vines Rilled tbe beetles. Tar water and Wolf's soap drove the margined blister beetle from beets, but they returned. Copperas water dM cot injure them. Copperas: water and ammonia water had no effect on ants, but one part carbolic acid in 64 quarts water drove tbem away permanently. Kerosene emulsion destroyed the yellow-necked caterpil lars, but potassium sulphide, WolFs soap, copperas water and ammonia did not injure tbem. Two applications of a saturated solution of salt killed the lice on lettuce, and so did Wolfs Foap. The soap also killed the aphides on green-house plants, but damaged the foliage. The woolly aphis on apple trees was destroyed by kerosene emulsion, but uninjured by tar-water and other remedies. The results show that kerosene emulsion is about the best insecticide, but when used on cabbage it imparts its odor. The difficulty is to destroy insect without injuring the plants. Other experin" are now in progress,, and will be published at vu. proper time. The Georgia Boy's Fourth. . Atlanta Constitution.

It is observed that nobody seems to care to carry on tbe discussion about the best mode of heating steam-cars. j A writer in the American Rural Home thus describes bow be avoided potato bugs: : "In planting potatoes, I dropped a handful of unleached ashes upon each bill after spatting tbe ground with the hoe, believing it would be disaereeable to the bues when they made tbeir first appearance, which is the best time to fight tbem, as the first ones that come do not feed upon the vines, the slugs from the eggs being the real depredators. As a result, I have found and killed five beetles, when before I numbered thousands upon the same ground."
