I have read a good deti about the damage done in late tears by chinch bugs, army worms, eutrctuio, borers and other insects "too nutmerous to meni tion;" but few of the writers seem to think or be conscious of the real reason for the increasing numbc' and harmful ness of these pests. Bu: we 'io not have to go far to find the reason, and it is found in the widespread and outrageous destruction of our birds. Think of the enormous number of small bials r'e quired to deck ladies' hats nowatdays: and of the ruined crops of huud>reds of farmers and fruit growers in the United States, and ask if the latter is 'not the result of the former. Of course it is; no one will or can dispute it. Whmat is to be done? Something; and no time should be lost in doing' it. The Ameri ca' umane Society is, I think, doing a gol"work in this direction, and I would in'time blot out the bird-killing business, especially as an adjunct to the milmnery trade of the country; but it cannot'worf7'a reform soon enough. to satisfy the pressing necessities of tae agricultural interests. We must appel to law to stop this indirect hatching anu raising of myriads of mnsects to destroy the crops of the farmer, fruit grower and market gardener. I do not think a law ttgainst catching birds would do musti good, for it would not be enforced; but 1 think a law pro hibiting milliners, both wholesale and retafi, from handling these ghostly orna ments would have the desired eil'ect, and with such a law we might, in time, have our birds as plentiful and useful as they *werie a few years ago, before this bloody -war on them began. But small birds are not the only in sect eaters that are being exterminiated for frivolous purposes. The prairie chickens are falling by the thousand by , the ruth'less hand of the market shooter -that vile blot upon the human race; cruel as a fiend; grasping as a miser; lazy as a sloth; braimless as an idiot,and for~ harmfulness ranking next to the devil himself. Why allow this low-lived specimen of humanity to ply his das *tardly and destructive work under tihe very nose of the farmer he is injuring? Why not send him to the poorhouse. asylum or penitentiary, where lie could be kept with mtuch less expense to tihe farr'ers, who are now supporting him? *But' here is a point thatt puzz'ies me. Is it the shot, the blood, the brokein bones, or the feathers, that makes prai rie chicken meat such a delicac. If tame fowl were brought on the table in the condition in which the pralrie chicken is 'usually served, it would be eonsidered entirely unfit to eat; so J don't think the epicurean pubolic wvould lose much if prairie chicken shooting should be prohibited by llaw1Mn year round,f oAr'e'Es d"years, and lontgir Jfathe birds were not plentifulecnotugh t teend of that time. I think there~ would be little or no objection to such a law. Every spor'tsmian ini the United Stat~s wotuld like It, atnd of course every farmer would commen'd it; even the market shooter would endorse it if heo had brains enough to conmpr'eh'endit advantages, for now he c'an ha'rd ly er fifty cents a day. owing to t'e seanguu.' of game, while live yea 'of tu:s inw would be likely to le"ve ilook~ of the birds on ever'v tenl-:ar st u sat' they would ilijure :1. erethnmreiy no candid person e::: I'ibo i'romt April ist to July 1:,th t: 'eis o gai for them to get, ' i:: t:Ilm they are wag;ing a w e em.a tion upon a great rma 4ien ful ins'ects, and who .' eu d come they' still p~..er .a for t b "rain to season the' tnsects that. hut for them, would do mor'e d:,:: ''e om tan acre thau the hairdsi woul: 0-- (in b2en Then the grtain is harvsed sd o two weeks atfter' it iiec,'o e' ansa' them, when thuey haive to fati h:e. ou insects again.

A two-year-old child froze to death in its father's arms be fore shelter was reached. 'rThe others were badly frozen Old Southern ;Homies. The Savannah (Ga.) Morning News of last Sunday has this to say editorially: A great many of the plantations in different parts of the South, which were once well known for their size, the mag nificence of the residences upon them, the hospitality of their owners, or on ac count of the prominence of the families which possessed them, are now falling into ruins. The reason of this is, per haps, that the land has been worked so long without being fertilized that it has become poor, or it may be that those into whose possessions they have passed lack the energy and skill which are re quired to make them pay under the present system of labor. "One of these famous old places in Liberty county, in this State was lately sold to a colored man for $2,500, only a part of the purchase price being ri qtir ed at once. It is known as Laurel h iew, and is within two miles of the historic town of Sunbury. It was the home of the gifted John Elliott, and a very beau tiful h-me it was. John Eiliott repre sented Georgia in the United States Sen ate from 1820 to 1826. "The plantation contains $2,800 acres. It was purchased during the war of Se-. cession by Hon. Linton Stephen--. brother of Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, and was sold to the present owner by his heirs. '-The district in which the llantation is situated was noted, from the first set tlement of the State until the emancipa ton of the slaves, for th intelligence and wealth of its citizens. it is now, how ever, almost abandoned to the colored people, its great plantations have been divided into small farms, and the superb misions, once the homes of men noted for wealth and culture, and of women famous for beauty and refinement, arei falling into decay, and are being re placed by cabins and huts, whose chim nes of sticks and mad tell more plainly than words of the marvelous change for the worse which has taken place in the once rich and prosperous district." Commenting upon the above, the Au-* gnsta Gazette says: This is sadly, deplorably true. Not only in Georgia and South Carolina, but in other Southern Stats may be seen any number of deserted homes, which were once the proud inheritance of rich representive n-'~- here dwelt every comfort that ~1a purchase; where lordly was dispensed from end t ear.

A TONGUE IN KNOTS. 1 contracted malaria in the swamps of Louisiana while working for the tele graph co"pany, and used every kind of medicine I could hear of without relief. I at lost succeeded in breaking the fever, but it cost me over $100.00, and then my sv t':a was trostrated and saturated with m~aaial poison and I became almost helpless. I finally came here, my mouth so filled with sores that I could scarcely eat, ied my tongue raw and fi led with little knots. Various remedies were re sortd to without effect. I bo'ught two bottles of B. B. B. and it has cured and strengthened me. All sores of my mouth are healed and my tongue entire ly clear of knots and soreness, and I feel like a new man.
