Falling Fruits:

Already the apples, pears md plumbs
are beginning to drop abundantly from the
trees. IF you ezaniine these, you will dis
cover not single sound specimen among
them. They have fallen. not by the winds,
but quite likely prerhaturel5 from disease
Cut them open, and you find either eggs or
grubs already at work upon the substance
Of the fruit. Every one Of these fruits is
pest-house. to be immediately destroyed. 1t
is good work for tie boys to pick them up
and throw them into the pig stye, where
they will BE levoured or rot among the fer
menting manures. We are pursuaded that
the destruction caused by the curculo, and
by the grubs that prey upon the apples and
pears, is caused mainly by the neglect of
this simple precaution. The fallen fruit is
suffered to lie upon the ground, and mature
it's progeny Of insects. The next year they
swarm in numbers, and the farmer com
plains that there is something peculiar IN
his soil and climate he cannot grow good
fruit The difficulty is in the man, and not
in his soil. Pick up the fallen fruit. And
this reminds US Of an dpple orchard we Wis
tied last season. The proprietor had been
accustomed for. years to turn in his stock
pigs, and to keep them through the season,
until the apples were sufficiently raatured
for making cider. Not an apple escaped
the pigs from July to September. Tie con
sequence Of this policy was, that he Fad
fair handsome apples to sell, while biz

was nearly all perforated with worms Shall

Not an Uncommon Case.

A traveller from Virginia. as his blooded
horsc, plethoric saddle bags and naughty
insouciance indicated, stopped at comfor-

many years ago The landlord was jo-
vial, whole Souled fellow, as landlords were

stranger vas up and looking around.- when

nant at what he supposed lis i,iho4pitality
in setting plain whiskey bcftfe kit;i, when
the mes,ls It brestirg tltstar was 20 easy Of
access, he dragged him forth to the spot,
and pointing with his finger at the flint, he
exclaimed:

tonishcd landlord.
And viii vi please tell me what is the

''Well, dou't c.aotly know, 'cept The

Tie taHalord obeyed. and the stanger
soon made his appearance, with a handful
of fragrant, dewy mint, and and then they
brewed, and brewed and drank again !;

ate ub without cause, and therefor we made
q proposition to him, by which he could
have a fair opportunity to take our life,
without committing murder, if he had the
nerve to try it. He declined our offer in
such vulgar and cowardly way as to place
himself beneath the further notice Of gen.
tlemen. and to deprive him, Of the right to
sehd us any such note as the ole In ques-
ton Hence, we publish his note, for our
relations are such that no document Of the
kind from him to us can be private. When
he chooses to remove the disgrace that
rests upon him, and to send to US, il will
receive prompt and due attention"
The Courier processes I'd thihk that the
letter from Prentice was designed to make
trou bic privately, which could BE connected
with public affairs. The Courier don't know
whether Prentice means that he will sue, or
challenge or assassinate its editor, but sus-
poets assassination 1t says in its concluding
comments on this matter:
+ 1--WE are not in the habit of assailing
private character or personal habits, but
when our duty as public Journalists de-
mands it, we shall spare neither Prentice

LETTER FROM BALTTM0RE.
prom an oseasIoaal carre.paaasul.l

Bf'rIaoRE, July u, 1883.
Tho Douglas question is agiated in Baltimore, and
Mr. Douglas himself would be surprised to fnd how few
supporters he has among the true democrats The Eng
sh bin is regarded the final settlement OF the Kansas
question and hence the strong opposition which they
feel towards any thing which looks like revival OF it,
Mr. Douglas hai many friends before he made his reoep
ton speech at Chicago but that he has taken ground
that but distract the party and revive past issues,
their confidence in him il lost and they no longer
prepared to follow his lead Though they may regret
his deserton, yet will they firmly resist any attempt to
force his sentiments upon the democratic party.
Considerable indignation has been expresse, by our
citizens at the in which the New York papers
spoke cf the citizens Of Baltimore the occasion of the
return of the Seventh regiment Instead OF sighting the
crack regiment the fact is the whole city was anxious
to do II honor but, with two exceptions, their
letters and elegraphlc dispatches unanswered and
their committee could not prevail upon them to
stop long enough for breakfast. About $1,000 had
been subscribed spr banquet ut the Maryland Institute.
and when it positively ascertaned that they would
not remain night arrangements were made for
breakfast mt Brnums Hotel. This, too was refused,
aud our citizens naturally felt very much mortified
think this should be known for the honor of the city
Still their visit has had this beneficial effect 1t has
impaired military enthusiasm among the young men
that will raise up at least fine regiment equal to the
New Yoikes Already two full companies enrolled,
and the only difficulty in completing the remain ng com
pancs grows out of the desire not TO permit the joining
of any but the best class Of citizens.
The gaant' Count DE Rivere has been in this city,
and excited considerable curiosity Those OF the fair
who were fortunate enough to obtain sight of the be-
witcing creature quite charmed and ready to ''ia
down aud worship him" The Count himself appears to
be perfectly undsnrbed by the sensation he creates,
which is perhaps accounted for lis arduous service
with the Zouayes. IL may be that am mistaken, but
cannot help th'aking him better fitted to deude weak
than to encounter the fortunes OF war
