It was also reported, that General Scott had

remarks upon the movement OF General
Gaines, even within the hearing OF his vol

shown to General Gaines by Gen. C!inch.
The other believe was not exhibited, in

RURAL ECONOMY.
From the Neao- York Farmer.
PEACH TREES.


Esteemed Friend-Ifthe following meth.
cd Of destroying the worms which infes'
peach trees is worthy of insertion in the
aFarmer,' it is at thy service. The cx-
pertinent would probably succeed wherever
It is tried.
In recent conversation with an indivi-
dual concerning fruit trees, he remarked
that he had seen in the State Of Pennsyl-
vania, peach trees of such uncommon size,
that he was induced to ask the owner what
means he resorted to in raising them. AZ
ter some hesitation, he informed him, that
from the second year of the growth of the
trees, he sought for traces Of the gum, which
is a sure indication Of the worm beneath.
He removed this so as to expose the aper-
ture into the body of the tree, and then fll-
led it with quick lime. This was repeated
every month, the roofs being carefully ex-
amined as we'll as the body. He also sta
ted to my informant, that it would be i'm.
possible in many cases to find the worms
on account Of their diminu,ive size, they be.
ing so small at first as to be visible only
with powerful microscope
The greater number of his peach trees
were from ten to twelve years old, and seem-
ingly as vigorous as any he had ever seen,
with large crop of fruit bending their
branches to the ground.
\ peach tree, it is said, bears onl " three
wears, and is about that period in coming to
maturity whereas by the above plan, it will
continue to produce fruit for a much longer
period. The high prices paid for peaches
in our large cities, ought to induce farmers
to give little consideration 10 the best meth
ods of preserving their trees. J. c.
Burlington, Sept. lst, 1886.
We arc much obliged to friend J. c. for
his communication. We can testify the
truth of his remarks from Our own expert
ence. We have seen peach tree, that
was considered to be past help, restored to
fine condition by similar treatment.
Any one can satisfy curiosity by inspcc.
ting a poor looking peach orchard.

From Consbe's Physiology Of Digestion.
THE RELATION BETWEEN WASTE AND

THE RELATION BETWEEN WASTE AND
APPETITE.
The fact of nature having meant the
inactive and indolent 10 cat and drink dess
than the busy and laborious. is established
not only by the diminished appetite and Im-
paired digestion of human beings WHO load a
sedentary life, as contrasted with the keen
relish and rapid digestion usually attendant
on active exertion in the open air, but on
We, broader scale by the analogy of oil
other animals. In noticing this relation,
DR.. Roget remarks, that the greater the
energy with which the more peculiarly an.
in1al functions Of sensation and muscular
action are exercised, the greater must be
the demand for nourishment, in order to
supply the expenditure of vital force created
by these exeriions. Compared with the
torpid and sluggish reptile, the active and
vivacious bird or quadruped requires and
consumes much larger quantity of nutrl-
ment. The tortoise, the turtle, the toad,
the frog, and the chameleon, will indeed live
for months without taking any food. -
"The rapidty of development" he coniln-
ues, has also great influence on the guam
tity of food which an animal requires.
Thus, the caterpillar, which : ows very
quickly, and must repeatedly throw OFT ITS
integumcnts during its continuance 10 the
larva state, consumes vast quantity OF food
compared with the size of its body; and
hence We find it provided with digestive
apparatus of considerable size"
In thus insisting on regular bodily and
mental activity as indispensable to the en-
joyn,ent Of good appetite and sound d.
gestion, the attentive reader will not, trust,
be disposed to accuse me Of inconsistency
because, when treating of muscular exer-
else in the former volume,f | explained the
bad effects, and inculcated the improprletyy,
of mdulging in any considerable exertlon
Immediately before or after full meal
1t is true, as there mentioned, that exercise,
either in excess Or at an improper time, I'M.
pairs the tone of the stomach but it is not
on that account the less true that bodily
excrtion. when scasonably and properly
prac,ised, is tho best promoter of appetite
and digestion which we possess; and it is
,only under the latter conditions that | now
speak of it as beneficial, and even indis.
pensabie to health.
To work like the present, it is obviously
impossible to fence round every genera
proposition with the numerous limitations
which an unusual combination of clrcum'
stances, or departure from the s'ate OF
health, might demand. And, even if pos
siblc, it would not be necessary, as the
laws of exercise have been SO fully exp lam

full canvass, sailing along in the sky. The
ship was upside down, the maas pointing
towards the water. The vision was 50
distinct, that all perceived it, and marked
the pecuIiariies Of her rigging. For some
considerable time she continued in view, at.
tracing the gaze of the whole ships com.
pany, till finally she vanished. The sail.
ors with their customary superstition, were
exceedingly alarmed. This was TO them
a new kind of navigation. They deemed
it the certain foreboding of their own de.
s:ruction. The officers, better informed
with regard TO the laws of nature, saw in
the occurrence, a very surprising, and very
interesting natural phenomenon. By the
peculiar state of the air and the situation of
the clouds, mirror was formed, in which
by the natural operation of reflected light,
they saw the image of ship, which had
not as yet ascended the horizon. There
are various kinds Of mirrors. Sometimes
they are made Of glass, sometimes of bur.
nished steel. The water is a7mirror in
which You see the trees which wave lux.
luxuriantly upon the rivers banks, and from
the vapors which float in the heavens, Us
from looking glass, images are often re.
flected. In few hours after the appear.
ance of the vision, the Identical ship herself
made her appearance rising over the con.
vex waters. This was the ghost of a ship,
and the tale has probably been narrated,
with exaggerations Of terror, to thousands
of seamen.
Another case, somewhat similar, we
somewhere have met with, though we can.
not now recollect in what work, which
shows how incidents, at first apparently su.
pernatural, may be explained by known
principles. On calm day, the sailors on
board a ship, many hundred miles from
land, and with no other sail in sight, had
their attention arrested by the distinct ring.
ing ola bell. They ascended the topmast,
but far as the eye could extend along the
unobstructed horizon, nothing could be seen.
From whence could this sound proceed?
No bell by the common conveyance of
sound, could be heard the distance that
they could see. TO the sailors, this appa-
rently unearthly ringing, seemed to be the
ships funeral knelL The mournful monot.
ony of those mysterious tones, sent pale.
ness into the cheek of many hardy tar.
And surely, it was strange to hear such a
sound in the solitude of the ocean. They
thought it must come from the world of
spirits, a monition of their ruin. Scientific
men on board accounted for it at once.
upon the well understood principle Of an
acoustic tube. AS the report of gun dis
charged upon some Alpine summit, is
thrown in laundering reverberations from
cliff to cliff, so in the present case, the
clouds reflected the sound Of the bell of a
distant ship into the focus, in which they
were placed. In the tongueless. voices of
every echo, there is just as much of "a super
natural agency. The next day they met
the ship, whose bell they had heard, and
found by inquiry, that at the hour they
heard the sound, the crew had been vio-
lently ringing for their amusement. How
many Of the apparently unnatural sounds
which are heard, are capable of an equally
simple explanation Tracts.
