THE B0RER.-We are determined
tsays the Natne Farmer to persecute
the borers till they shall seek other
quarters than our orchards. We are
trying a novel experiment. We box
up the tree foot from the ground and
fill it with shavings or saw dust. If
they attack the tree, it must be above
the box, where they can readily be
seen. 1t is easily done, and we see no
reason why it will not be preven-
tive.

BARBARoUs IDoLATRY--Major Gen.
Curtis, in letter from Scully, describes
the sckening process ofa Sioux sun-dancc,
an annual observance of that tribe, which
took lace on the fist day of June this
year
''First they cut their arms in several
places by striking an awl in the skin,
raising it and cutting out about half an
inch. This is done on both arms, and
somctims on the breast and back. Then
wooden setons (sticks about the thickness
of a common lead pcncil) are inserted
through n hole in the skin and flesh.
Then cords or ropes are attached to these
sticks by one end, and to the pole at the
other end, the victim pulling on the
ropes till the seton sticks tear out the flesh
and skin. l saw one with two setons
thus attached to his breast, pulling ill it
seemed to draw the skin out three inches,
and literally requiring nearly his whole
might to tear out the seton. One painted
black had four ropes attached at once,
The pulling out is done in the dance, the
pulling carried on in the time Of the music
by jerk, jerk, jerk, and the eye, head and
front all facing the sun in the form Of
supplication. One had four setons at
tached TO four dry buffalo head bones.
These were all strung and suspended to
his flesh by ropes that raised each head
some three feet from the ground. lie
danced hard TO tear them out, but they
would not break the skin. One came
off the stick accidentally, but it was
again fastened. Finally these heavy
weights leach at least twenty five pounds
weight not tearing out by their own
weight and motion, the devotee gave n
comrade horse TO take hold of the rope
and tear out the setons. While these
men were being thus tortured, their fe-
male relations came in and had pieces cut
out of their arms To show their appreci-
alton of valor and devotion to their kins-
man. Still as soon as the victim could
be prepared, the music was renewed, and
the dismal dance went on the victims
bodies now mingled with blood, paint and
setons."

self This selfshness extends TO neg
lecting those little attentions to women,
on which an American prides himself,
and which makes it so easy for women
In America TO travel alone.
On the French and Swiss railroads has
been introduced an improvement that
may be commended to our directors. In
every train there is car with one com
partment marked on the outside ''for
women unattended" Into this carriage
ladies who have no male escort enter,
and are properly cared for by the con-
ductor. They can travel in this way in
seclusion and with entire safety but
after all it is quite probable that the
women in America would be quite as
willing to take their chances with the
men; and perhaps, the experiment, if
tried would I've failure. One thing the
railway people might learn us, and that
is to check the baggage. In place of it,
here they give you slip Of paper with a
number on it, and paste corresponding
slip on your trunk, which is some protec-
tion, but not SO safe nor so convenient
as our plan. In many respects the
European railroad system is far, very
far, superior to ours. Its safety is incom-
parably greater than ours. An accident
is very rare. / have not heard of one
since coming abroad. The connections
are invalibly made. The tracks are more
solid and secure. The road is made for
ages. There are grades of fare accord
ing to the accommodation. The first class
is better than any Of ours. The second
is nto equal to ours, and the third is in
ferior to the second. We ought &c
have first class, or as we cali it at a
concert, rcSerred seats, car on every
train with compartments which family,
or party Of friends could by paying 6
higher fare enjoy without intrusion.
The expense of travelling in Europe
is nearly twice as great as it was a dozer
years ago. Prices have gone up here
just as they have in America. When W,

that it is very dear, and at all the hotel

Writing for the Press.

Very queer ideas are entertained by
portion Of the public in regard to the rights
and duties of editors, and the relationship
subsiSting between the editor and his sub
scribers When James |. was asked to
define free monarchy, he replied that it
was government where the monarch was
left free TO do as he chose. Some people,
by a similar process of reasoning, seem to
TO think that free press is press free
for me TO say what please of others
provided, always, that nobody shall
have the liberty of saying anything against
me- The editorial workshop is often the
the theatre of many amusing scenes from
which hundreds of comic sketches might
be drawn every year, Nearly every man
thinks himself capable of giving the best
possible advice to an editor, and writes
him down as n very long.eared animal if
h. does not follow it-foIgetting that
there are any other principles, views, or
opinions, than those entertained by him.
self. In this happy country every one is
not only born politician, but a states
man. and nearly every one who supposes
he has caught hold of the leg or the wing
of an idea thinks he is qualified forthwith
to write for the press-and each, of
course, thinks that his own darling essay
must have the first place, and that crea-
lion will stand till it is published. And
if the editor dares to reject it, on account
of its Objectionable character, or because
of its sorrowful composition, or for want
of room, he is often denounced as
blockhead, or as wanting in spirit.
Again there is "A large class of writers
both for the city and country press, who
think they are comforting a particular
favor upon the editors by every line they
write, because it will help to fill up
Indeed, the popular opinion, everywhere,
seems to be that newspaper editors are
wonderfully pcrplexed to find matter to
fill their columns; whereas the reverse Of
this IS the fact. Their trouble is to find
space for the tenth part of the matter
they get prepared and many of their own
editorials are swept into the waste basket
for want OF room.
A fruitful source of vexation arises
from the complaints of people who either
are attacked, or fancy they are, by cor
respondents, or perhaps for cause, by the
editor himself Cases often occur in
in which person puts cap upon his
head that was fitted up for some one else
and it often happens that covert attacks
are made upon individuals, which, in the
hurry of business. are not apparent to the
editor, or do not meet his eye until after
the publication. In all these cases, ipvol-
wing every shade and variety, he is oblig-
ed either to meet the case directly las he
will, if an honorable man, il the respon-
sibility justly devolves upon him, or, in
case OF accidental mistakes, do the bes.
