Protection OF Apple Trees.

To the Edi0r Of the Press: ..
The apple crop of this State is valuable to
the cultivator, and an indispensable necessity
to the consumer. 1 thought suggestion to
prevent the ravages of the apple worm or cat
erpillar would be acceptable and interesting.
The following remedy applies to all trees.
Make a hay rope band and wind it me der
ately tight three or four times round the tree.
securing the end to prevent its becoming loose
and falling of. The Horticulturist says a tree
with this band secured two hundred Of to ese
rebels. The band should be put on about the
first of May. In examining the traps, all that
is necessary is to slip it up the body of tree
few inches, and all the little cocoons with
the worms are exposed, and nothing rem aims
but to crush them with the hand, with or
without glove. Then push the rope back to
make it as tight as it will bear without br eak-
ing. The bands should be examined every two
weeks, as long as the warm weather lasts II
the orchard is pastured, the bands of course
must be put out of the reach of the animals
This remedy is simple, inexpensive, and quick
ly applied, and sure to trap the enemy. All
the fallen fruit should be gathered early and
destroyed, and not given to the hogs. Unless
some remedy is applied our fruit crop will be
totally ruined, and it becomes everybody to see
to it and apply the remedy, and not wait till
our trees are destroyed. One steady campaign
will subdue the enemy, or he will conquer.

The CIVIL RIGHTs LAW IN LOUISIANA
New Orleans papers of April 28 contain re-
port of the first case in Louisiana under the
Civil Rights bill. 1t appears that the laws of
the State authorize the incorporation of So
cieties for religious or other purposes, but pro-
vide that the authorization shall not be con-
strewed to apply to free persons of color In
corporated as secret associations, or for relg-
ious purposes. Two colored churches in the
parish OF Jefferson prepared acts of incorpor-
alton and submitted them to the District at
torney of the Carroton Court, it being his du-
ty, under the law, to pass upon such matters.
This officer, protesting that he had no preJu-
dices, reported that it was clearly his duty ac-
cording to the State laws, to deny his approx
al of the acts, and he desired the persons pre-
sentinq them TO take rule on him. They
did SO. and brought the matter before Judge
Caseabat. who ordered a hearing The coun-
eel for the colored people referred to the fact
that the new State Constitution sets aside the
law in question, and that the order made by
General Candy on the 7th of February, 1896,
also annuls the prohibitory clause, but they
waived these points and rested the case on the
Civil Rights bill. The matter was argued at
length, and Judge Caseabat then acknowledge
ed the binding force of the said bill, and or
dered that the acts OF incorporation be ap-
proved, and the purposes of said corporations
be declared Legal.

A Relluue---Castine,

When MAINE was the French Province of
MEYNE, $50 named for the possessions of
Bourbon princess in Franee,) nobleman of
Gaulish b,ood-a gentleman of great wealth.
voluntarily expatriated himself from the Beau
tiiul Land of his birth, and sought for her.
mits life in the iuncivilized wilds of America.
He located himself upon point of land that
makes down south upon the eastern shore Of
the Penobscot rivera place called Majabigua-
duce (the modern Bagaduce where Gen. Wads-
worth, grandfather of Henry Wadsworuh Long
fellow, fought battle of the Revolution,) and
there fortified himself against the salvages"
Of the wilderness. He constructed fort around
his mansion, and extended its limits seaward
to low water mark. With servants to do his
lordly bidding, here he pitched his tent for life.
He came to this country single man, but
soon married Tarratine Indian squaw, and
sought friendly intercourse with the Abort
gines. This singular adventurer was the BAR
ON DE CAsTINE, and the now beautiful town
OF CAsTINE where our second State Normal
School is to be located, occupying the site Of
old Majabiguaduce, is named for the French
nobleman. In the time of the French and
Indian war against the English Provincials in
America, he espoused the cause of his mother
land, and did great harm to the English set

England. His residence was the head quarters

however, proved too severe for him. He was
obliged to give up his hermitage and returned,
it may be, to La Belle France, in bis old age,
leaving much treasure behind in the earth
buried near his Fort A few years ago seven
hundred dollars were dug out from under an
old tree that had been prostrated by the wind
More recently smaller quantities were found in
and about the Baron's residence. 1t was all
pure silver coin, hammered, not cast, into
shape, and afterwards stamped with an in
strument prepared for the purpose. General
ly it bore the date OF between fourteen hundred
and fifteen hundred of the year of Grace. A
friend sent the writer a sample of the money
as pocket piece. i'e9 '-
The Baron had screen or moat in front of
his Fort. consisting of double row of pilings
driven into the flats extending to low water
mark, and enclosing an acre or more of land
This was shelter for his boats, which could
be taken by canal under his house. These
piles consisted of white oak timbers, and many
of them are yet standing, the silent but ex.
pressiye monuments Of other times. The wood
is now perfectly sound. The friend who sent
me the coin above alluded to, also forwarded a
miniature 'crucifix cut out of piece of this
wood by an ingenious artist of Castine. We
accept it, not as symbol of the Catholic re-
ligion, of which the Baron was devout OBJ
server, but as a significant remembrance Of
the Gross on which our beloved Lord and Mas
ter died for the sins OF the world. TRAxI.'

DRAMATIC. = The performances by the
Portland Dramatic Club last evening were ad-
mirable, and elected more applause than has
been given to any theatrical company that has
performed in this city for long time - and
only because such applause was deserved. In
the comedy of "Little Treasure, 3" Messrs. Ba-
con, Noyes, Rand, Neal and LIE Prohon, and
Misses Speed and McCobb and Mrs. Purin-
ton handsomely sustained their several parts.
The comedietta of tive written to Brown" was
performed with spirit, Messrs. Chase, Bryant,
Rand and Fernald, and Misses Rolfe and Pc
ters sustaining the several characters. The
playing was acknowledged by all to be the
best we have had in this city for long time,
and the hope was expressed that the Club
would continue to give our citizens amuse-
ments which would be appreciated.
The audience was very large one and the
Fair must net something handsome from
these generous efforts of the members of this
Club.

A NEW SACRED Song. by r. w Io.to
Most OF our readers know personally, or by
reputation, our respected townsman, Mr.. E. w.
Locke, the ballad writer and singer. His re-
markable success has astonished his m ,st an
preciating friends. By the efforts of a few
years he has secured competence for life and
has become known in almost every community
OF the loyal North. What has done it I? He is
not thoroughly educated musician; he does
not profess to be great singer, though we
think very few excel him in rendering touch
ing ballad. His success has come from his
songs. Read the following and see if we are
not right. Beautiful as it is, one needs to hear
1t sung to fully appreciate it. 1t will soon be
ready for our musical friends, and we predict
Tor 1t such sale as the best of his pieces here
