MLs FINNEVAN's DISCOVERY.
'sensation Caused in Dublin by the Disnov
ery of a BI DBrown Bug, Which They
Thought Was the Potato Beetle.
A London paper has the following:
Paragraphs have appeared stating
that the Colorado beetle had been found
in Dublin. 'the following account of
what has evidently been the foundation
of the report appears in the FreCleman's
Journal of a recent date. "Mr. Finne
gan, of No. 19 Lower Gardiner street,
called at our office and stated that dur
ing yesterday afternoon, while standing
on the north wall, be observed a very
large insect running along the cable
connecting one of the Liverpool
boats with the shore. He
captured this insect, and asserts that it
is a specimen of the famous and dreaded
foe of the potato plant, the Colorado
beetle. He showed us the insect last
night. It was still alive and very ac
tive. It was a huge beetle of a dark
brown color on the back, with yellowish
abdomen, and about an inch in length,
resembling in appearance a gigantic
wood-louse. We do not possess suffi
-lent entomological lore to ourselves
pronounce whether or not this strange
insect is the dreaded visitant from the
West, the Colorado beetle. We need
;scarcely add, however, seeing that all
over Europe the governmental or
local authorities are waking up to the
necessity of watching against
this dreaded pest. instant steps
ought to be taken to discover
whether or not the insect taken by Mr.
Finnegan is, as he thinks, a Colorado
beetle." As the government has lately
published an accurate life-sized por
trait of the dreaded beetle, it is almost
needless to say the creature above de
soribed cannot be he or any of his rela
tions. The creature which has done so
much mischief at the other side of the
Atlantic is about one-third of an inch
in length, and is brown, spotted yellow
or orange, and, whatever development
may be possible, naturalists have no
record of an insect suddenly swelling to
three times the size. Moreover, ac
cording to a telegram from Dublin
Wednesday, it is announced on
the authority of a distin
guished entomologist that the insect
which was supposed to be the Colorado
beetle is not that dreaded enemy of the
potato crop, but an insect known as the
stone beetle, which, at this season of
the year, is occasionally found by the
seashore at low water. In consequence
of the interest excited by the appear
ance of the Colorado beetle in the neigh
borhood of Cologne, a firm in that city
has begun making artificial beetles
and larvea resembling the dreaded orig
inal. Orders have come in such num
bers as to compel the makers to ask for
an extension of time for their execution.
No less than 10,000 boxes of beetles, says
the Cologne Gazette, have been ordered
for England alone.
THE HORRORS OF WAR IN TURKHEY.
Flaying the Bodles of Young Girls, and
Cuating Their Skins into Strips.
[Oorrepondence of the Sunday Mercury.]
BUCHARaST, July 5.-The retreat south
ward of the Turks thruogh Bulgaria
has been accompanied by scenes ex
ceeding in atrocity all the miseries of
last year, when the Bulgarian massa
cres shooked the civilized world. This
time, however, it is not only the Turks
who commit the outrages, but the Bul
garians themselves are retaliating itf a
frightful manner upon those Turkish
residents who cinnot follow their army.
While preparations for retreat were
going on, the irregular troops from Asia
committed the most frightful horrors.
Under the pretense of forcing the Bul
garians to follow their army and help
to throw up fottifications, these irregu
lars also insisted that the women should
join them. Poor soulsl in many in
stances they submitted to this new kind
of slavery. But not all of them follow
ed so willingly.
A woman with her three daughters,
residing near Matschin, rebelled against
such commands. With a hellish howl
the armed fiends threw themselves upon
the poor women, bound them across
the backs of their horses and galloped
away with them to a spot sufficiently
distant from the army, so that they
could not be interfered with in their
hellish designs by the chief military
authorities. Of course when taken from
their horses the women were more dead
than alive. Nevertheless, the daughters
were all first violated and then mur
dered. They then went to work and
skinned the dead bodies of the girls, cut
the skin up in strips, and with these
strips tied the poor mother to a tree,
where she had her head cut off, and the
remainder of the body was left to the
vultures.
Even forBulgaria this horrible atrocity
is considered so important that all
foreign governments have instructed
their ambassadors to protest to the Sul
tan, in the name of humanity, against
the employment of such men in the
Turkish army. Consuls at Galatz, Braila
and other places were instructed to
ascertain the correctness of this bloody
episode of the war, and at once pro
ceeded to Matschin to investigate the
affair. With the aid of a chaplain be
longing to one of the Russian regiments
they soon discovered the place where
the massacre took place. Decent burial
had already been given them by the
Russians; but upon the demand of the
suls the bodies were disinterred, and
ple evidence of the atrocious crime
obtained.
FRENCH POLITICS.
The Quarrels Between the Orleanists,
Bonapartists and Republicans.
[New York Times.]
In the way of politics we have noth
ing particularly new since I last wrote,
but both parties are working as hard as
they can in view of the coming elections.
I say "coming elections," for they must
come some time, but there is no certain
ty that they will be held before the 22d
of September, that is, within three
months from the dissolution. If the
administration finds that it has not had
time to get the country well in hand,
there will be an adjournment to a later
period. Even now they are trying to
discuss the question whether or not. the
Marshal is really obliged by law to hold
the elections within three months.
M. De Fourtou has discovered a way
for prolonging the situation, and the
means will be found, it it is deemed ad
vantageous to prolong, when the mo
ment arrives. Meanwhile, the Bona
partists have the inside track, and are
bringing their men out in every direc
tion to the great disgust of the Or
leanists, who are beginning to think
that they might have done better had
they made terms with the Repub
licans. The latter are active, but
they have just met with an accident
which is used to their disadvan
tage by their adversaries. M. Or
dinaire, a leading member of the
Left was prosecuted to recover a
sum borrowed to pay a gambling debt,
and his letters were seized. They re
vealed the fact that certain Republicans
made use of their positions to play with
the Bourse, and some of the best men
in the party are .impjicated. Their
action is severely censured by the
judges who condemned Ordinaire. Of
course M. Gambetta is disgusted with
the whole affair, and wants to throw
Ordinaire overboard; but the enemies
of the (republic are making a great deal
of the revelations found in the Ordinaire
correspondence.
HIGIH-HEELED FRENCI BOOTS' IN
TIURHEY.
The detectives at Constantinople find
it extremely difficult to enforce the
sumptuary laws against the use by the
women of their Yashmaks, fashionable
ferajees and high-heeled French boots.
The officers were instructed to stop any
woman who did not conform to the law,
to demand her address, and having ob
tained it, to proceed to her house, and
when there to warn her relatives of the
impropriety of her conduct. The
women proved themselves to be more
than a match for the police. The de
tectives now complain that when they
have accosted a culprit, and have ob
tained an address from her, they have
almost invariably found, on visiting the
house named by her, that she had given
them a false direction, and that nothing
but derision and contumely awaited
them. It is now announced that in the
future the police will follow every cul
prit to her house, and then and there
demand speech of her lord and master.
MT. PATRICK'S DAY.
[The Irish Woi I.]
St. Patrick's Day, even if foreign
parades were perfectly in order, is
hardly a fitting occasion to celebrate
Ireland's nationality. The festival is a
religious one in its origin; to religious
uses, then, it ought to be consecrated.
A nation's holiday should be secular.
Patriots of all creeds ought to be per
mitted to participate in the celebration.
But if you raise the cry "For Faith and
Fatherland !"-and if you mean by
that faith your own creed exclusively
how are those who differ with you in
theology to join in your politico-reli
gious demonstration. They can do
nothing of the kind, and you evidently
do not wish them to do so, All things
considered, we think it would be wise
to abandon St. Patrick's Day parades.
We can lose nothing substantial in so
doing, even from an Irish national point
of view; we shall have put away all
pretext for the celebration of Orange
man's Day; and by this manifestation
of good will and good sense, while our
own conception of self-respect will not
weaken, but on the contrary grow
stronger and more dignified, we shall
win for ourselves an increased respect
from the entire American community.
---e- ._.
A vivid idea of the expensiveness of
military operations was given in a re
cent despatch of an English correspon
dent with the Russian army at Kars.
He said that up to the time when the
siege of Kars was raised the Russians
had thrown into it 18.000 bombs, the
cost of which was 1,500,000 roubles, or
about $1,200,000. It is estimated by a
British military writer that the cost
to Russia of the double war in Europe
and Asia Minor is considerably over one
million of dollars per day. This sum
does not come out of the pocket of the
Czar, nor does the Sultan pay the ex
penses of the other side.
- -----.-.~------ -
From a French paper: A young wife
lost her aged husband two months ago,
after he had lain helpless with paralysis
for eight months. Yesterday she ap
peared at the Mairie to announce her
intention of marrying her cousin. "I
beg your pardon, madame," says the
clerk. "but the law is peremptory in
forbidding a widow to remarry till ten
months 'after her husband's death."
" But those eight months of paralysis
don't you take them into consideration?"
