This insect is becoming more formi-
dable of late years in the eyes of orchar-
dists than any other insect with which
we are troubled. II. many regions of
the country it is disfguring most of the
apples intended for market, and vast
sums are yearly lost in that way. DIR.
Trimble succeeds in destroying large
numbers by wrapping the trunks two
or three times around with hay rope,
early in the summer. The insects hide
under the rope and are afterwards kill
ed. This is a useful mode of destroying
them, but it would hardly answer for
extensive orchards, and part of the
insects escape. Turning in swine,
which eat the fallen fruit, and thus de
strOy the worms, has been found to an =
swer an excellent purpose, and give
crops of fair fruit. But few farmers
have swine sufficiently numerous for a
large orchard, and sheep have therefore
been proposed as 4 substitute. In few
instances. in which they have been tried,
we believe they have proved quite sue
cessful, but more experiments are need
ed. They rarely gnaw the bark in the
summer season, but all danger may be
prevented by rubbing the trunks with
blood--refuse meat or liver from the
butchers may be employed for this pur-
pose, and will answer for repellant for
some weeks.

4 Ifubbub AmOny the Cinnamon.

In San Francisco, last month, II China
woman named All Ming was arrested
for the crime of Bigamy, but explained
that she had married her first husband
i'm Chin and when she Lad arrived in
San Francisco, from Hong-Kong. she
was stolen away, and by threats and vi
olence obliged to go before justice of
the peace and submit to be married to
her captor, but she is NOW willing to
live with her first husband, All Ming.
When she was arrested, a great excite
ment was created among the Chinaman
in San Francisco, two opposite factions
being arrayed for and against the prIs-
Oncr. The Bulletin says:
While the woman was in the Shcrift's
office about one hundred Cinnamon
crowded around the doors, and eight or
ten policem en- came on the ground, and,
ing out of the hail. kept the angry crowd
imprisoned till every man in it was
searched for deadly weapons. None
were foun l, and then the word was
passed to bring the woman out. She
came, accompanied by the Jailor. and
two or three Deputy Sheriffs. Then
came the din of barbarian shouts and
wells. The crowd rushed toward her,
but stout policemen kicked and pushed
them back. Poor Mrs. All Ming evil

for she threw herself about, wept, yell
ed, CRASHED her teeth, and howled fran
tically. At the door of the City Hall
stood the coach. The deputies lifted the
screaming, kicking woman into the
coach; then they followed; a police Of
ticer mounted the box with the driver,
the whip cracked, coach doors slammed,
and off went the coach with its celestial
freight. Out Swarmed the mass OF
Cinnamon, pell nell, with policemen
and civilians. Every street within
hearing of Mrs. All Ming's screams W -
thronged by men and boys, all running
towards the Hall. Away up Kearney
Street went the coach, the horses on
the gallop, and hundreds of bowling
Cinnamon following in the dusty ana
tumultuOus wake. 1t was an exciting
race. At the corner OF Pacific and Kear-
ney Streets the best-winded policemen
got ahead of the Cinnamon and checked
their advance. The coach ratified up
the hill to Broadway, and in minute
after it reached the Jail Mis-. An Ming
had been borne safely within its walls,
and the deputies, the policemen, and
the horses breathed easier. In few
minutes the prison was besieged by an
army of Cinnamon. but the police dis

For his slow firm step down the gravel walk
To hear the click click of his hand at the gate,
And feel every heartbeat through careless
talk
All love is sweet when life is young
And life and love are both so long
Only to watch him about the room,
Lighting it up with his quiet smile,
That seems to lift the world out of gloom.
And bring heaven nearer mc-for while,
A little while-since love is young.
And life is beautiful as loiig.
Only to love him-nothing more
Never thought of his loving me;
Proud of him, glad in him, though he bore
Ny heart to shipwreck on this smooth sea.
Loves faith only gr Of, not wrong
And life is darling when It's young.
Aye me what matter the world goes round,
And bliss and bale are but outside things
never can lose what in him l found,
Though love be SORROW with half grown
wings;
Aud if love flies when we are young,
Why liIe is still not long--not long.
And Heaven is kind to the faithful heart
And if we are patient, and brave, and calm,
Our fruits viii last though our flowers depart
Some day, when sleep with folded palm,

Total wedding under wear

We were told that the price of mems
fancy pocket handkerchiefs like that of
fancy horses, is limited by nothing but
fancy. A handkerchief can BE- made as
costly, by the use of fine lace and en-
broidery, as the folly of snoEs may de-
sire.
Why a man should desire to wear gor-
gcous suspenders at his wedding it is
difficult to imagine, unless it be that he
may have the felicity of hanging them
over chair at hight, for the purpose of
dazzling the eyes and exciting the ad-
miration of his intellectual bride. The
rest ofthe eXtravagant "under wear" is
doubtless put on that the bridegroom may
show to advantage in bridal chamber
war dance, or fandangO, or other exhila-
rating gymnastics, preliminary to his
settling down to the sober realities of
domestic life.
In addition to all this absurd eXtrav-
sgance for mems under wear" there
il much more of similarly wastful sort.
There are meerschaums, and tobacco,
and jewelry, and beverages, and " over
wear" and canes, and card cases, and
all manner of fOllies, which entail do
nestle disquietudes, and lead to home
discomfOrts, which it is vain to expect
that servant girls of servant men can
remedy.
