wingless females become days old, and thereafter produce four little | every day, so that even in the short | space of twenty days the progeny of one specimen, if »ll were preserved from destrue tion, would number upwards of two millions.’

‘It might natarally be supposed that in- sects with sach prodigious powers of increase | do sometimes a great deal of harm. This is the case, but if we can keep them ia check for | general thing, nature secon comes | to ous aid. These insects form the fuod of | several predaceous kinds, and wheuever the plant lice increases lar gly, their enemies are attracted. The smil parasitic Ichneumon | ilies belonging to the genus ApAidius are par- ticularly useful ia redaclng their numbers. The or Lady birds devour vast numbers both when in the larval state and as perfect beetles. The Syrphus flies and other Diptera also help; so that as much surprise is sometimes l forth by the sudden dis- appearance of hosts of plant liceasis evoked by their sudden increase.

Remedies.—It is quite evident that no ap- plication can be made to the wheat plant by which these insects can be destroyed when the wheat is in ear.

Immediately a crop which was infested has been carried, the land should be cultivated and all grasses should be cut down from the edges cf the fields. After an actack, no grass or grain crops should be grown on the land for the next vear

~-In the course of a sermon delivered at St. John, on Thanksgiving Day, the Rev. L G. McNeill said : ‘*We are securing our neighbor's respect by learning to respect ourselves, Atunexation is dead or dying. The spirit of Canadian nationality is grow- ing apace. The legislation of selfishness will only injure its promoters, and event- ually be its own best antidote.”

-The London Times remarks: * If Congress should hold eut the hand of recip- rocity, the peop'e of Great Britain must not blame the Canadians if they succumb to theaemptation. As to this, all we can say is‘that there seems very little chance, judging by the sentiments lately expressed by Canadian Ministers and Canadians gen- erally, that Canada will swallow the golden bait. The McKinley Act has had precisely the reverse affect in Canada to that which the Americans intended.”

THE DAILY EXAMI

The Abecweits at Malifax.

(ITalifax Herald, 7th).

In the wo:ds of Commodore Perry the Abegweits can now say ‘* we have met the enemy and they are ours,” for they fought the bitile gloriously yesterday and came off easy couquerors, ‘Thanksgiving day has come to be **the great day” of football enthusiasts and the large gatherings and excecding enthusiasm the games of yester- day called forth testify to the fact that football has won the hearts of a great many Haligonians.

At 3o’clock in the afternoon the Wan- derers and Abegweits faced each other on the grounds of the former. The Abegweits are a team of players from Charlottetown,

P. BE. 1, who have long been famous for their prowess an | skill, and they have not begun to degenerate yet. Their team yos-

terday was made up of the following: 7” ~

In the second half the Abegweits kicked off, and from the start they seemed to have the advantage. In a short time H. McDonald secured a try in beautiful style, which Moore converted into a goal.

The Grand Forks, North Dakota, Jnde- pendent says: H. R. Dickieson was nomi- nated by the Independent convention for the cftice of state auditor. He is one of the most honored and respected citizens of Grand Forks County, and has been engag- ed in mercantile busivess at Reynolds since that village was founded. At the very be- ginning of the temperance and pruhibition movement in this state we find Mr. Dickie- son placed himself in the foremost ranks of that army which is fighting against the evil of intemperanee. being a strong believer in the temperance and prohibition cause, he bas spent much time and money in pro- meting it, and it is only a just token of re- spect when his friends have honored him with this nomination. Mr. Dickieson has never sought any office, and it was only after the most urgent request that he per- mitted his name to ke used. His opponent is a well-known lottery and license advo- cate, whom the moral element cf the young state has no use fer. Mr. Dickieson has been a close observer of the develop- ment of North Dakota, and being well educated, he is eminently qualified for the office of state auditor. Everybody who wants to see an honest and able man elect- ed for that position should vote*for Mr. Dickieson.”

[The Mr. Dickieson referred to in the foregoing paragraph is a native of Wilmot Valley, in this Province. THe EXAMINER is pleased to hear of his success abroad |

The Halifax Recorder of the Srd_ inst., says :—

** Schr. Topaz, whcih arrived this morning from Colon, experienced some of the gales, and Capt. Rowe, the first mate (his brother) and one of the seamen brought the vessel to this port; the other three seamen were ill with milarial fever, a non-contagious diseage, and were removed to the hospital this morz- ing.”

Captain Rowe (who is a son of J. T. Rowe, Esq. of Charlottetown,) reports that on his arrival at Colon, C. A., last trip he found that city in ashes. The buildings destroyed included the Post Office and its contents, among the latter being the Cap- tain’s advices from the owners. The fever was also epidemic, and the mortality was very great, particularly amongst the negroes, many of whom, he gays, were buried withvut the usual coffin or casket.
