A New Enemy Of the Apple Tree.

We were shown on Saturday, by our
friend ID. II. Cheney, a gentleman who
is giving great attention to the raising
and propagating of fruit in this county,
two new enemies of the apple tree. The
first insect shown US was a species of bor-
er, although quite different from the
borer which has heretofore attacted and
so injured the trees. This insect resem-
bles some what in appearance the COM
mon house fly only it is sharper bodied,
with round head, similar in shape and
size to a small bird shot. 1t commences
operations by working from where the
last years growth of the tree commenc-
ed, or from where the smaller branches
leave the larger ones, eating out the pith
of the branch, leaving a hole similar to
that made by small gimlet and dead
ening the wood.
The other enemy is species of beetle,
with an elongated head, black in appear
ance, and somewhat resembling the CON-
mon wood beetle, and entirely destroys
the leaf of the tree.
Our farmers who have lately purchas-
ed and set out fruit trees would do well
to examine and destroy these new enc
mics. Mr.. Cheney found large numbers
of them at work in his young orchard,
and deserves the thanks of all fruit grow
ers for calling attention to this matter.

L0ngEcIlOw and Bassett.

Harry Basett's career, since the the
.Htif Of 1879, has been a ccdtiuued pro-
grcss. He carried off in succession all
the great threc-year-old stakes of last
year, and wound up by beating Hem
bolt at Baltimore in a race of four-mile
heats. A few weeks ago he captured
two races at Jerome Park with the great
est ease. Longfellow has almost as bril-
liant record as his rival, butt is some
what marred by his defeat last year at
Saratoga in the four-mile race. But it is
very well known that Longiellow was
not in proper condition when he was
beaten. His previous performance must
therefore he referred to, to see what a
horse he really is.
LoNGPELLow's VICTORIES.
In the Saratoga Cup of 1871 Long
fellow was opposed by Kingfsher, who,
is acknowledged was the best horse of his
year, and he was a great favorite.
Longfellow beat him easily, and stamped
himself as the fastest horse in the coun-
try by running the first mile of the race
in lao. When il is remembered that
previous to that race l:43 was the fast
est mile on record, the excellence of this
feat can be better imagined.

Girls, don't talk slangl II il Is ncces-
sary that any IN the family should do
that, let your big brother, though would
advise him not to talk pigeon English
when there is an elegant, systeinatircd
language that he could just as wei hse
but don't You 90 it. You have no idea
how it sounds to ears unused or avcrse to
it, to hear a young hdy whcn she Is ask-
cd to attend some place Of amusemtnt,
answer, mot much !" or il requested 10
do something she docs not wish to, "can't
see IT,
Not long ago heard Mis-, who Is
educated and accomplished, say, in speak
ing Of young man, that she intended
to ''go for him." and when her sister ask
ed her assistance at some work, she an
swered, "Not for Joe, You bet"
Now, young ladies of unoxceptionabie
character and really good education, fall
into this habit, thinking Il shows smart
ness to answer back in slang phrases
and they soon slip firpantly from their
tongues with saucy pertncss that is
neither lady like or becoming. Young
men who talk in that way do not care to
hear il from the lips they love or admire
it sounds much coarseriheu; and really
slang does not save time in use Of lam
guage'as an abbreviation. Nois shorter
and much moe decided than mot much;"
/ am sure, is quite as easily said ~ I'm
bet."
More than one promising wedding has
been indefinitely postponed by such
means, for, however remiss young men
may be in such things themselves, they
look for better things in the girls of their
choice-and it does not help them to
mend bad habit to adopt it.-Eri

The Reign Of the Old White Hat.


Gen. james Shields 10 a Greeley meeting In Kansas
City Missouri.
Stanton was right. This soldier-man
Of America will not do for President so
the people are going to try one of the best
workingnen of America, and man who
has never made a single failure In his
life except one, and that was when he
tried TO make Republican President out
Of pig-headed soldier. The supremacy
of the civil over the military authority
is plank in the Liberal platform.
There is a sad significance in the fact
that this plank has to be inserted in a
Republican platform at this time; but,
what is worse, il has to be re-cstablishcd
as living principle in America. -Four
years more Of u. S. Grant will establish
the supremacy of the military over the
civil authority as a permanent principle
in this country. The Government just
now is an anomaly, or, as a friend of mine
says, a promiscuous Government. II is
half shoddy, half military--a cross be-
tween the swindler and the trooper.
Since the days of "Old King Cole, that
merry old soul" there has been no such
burlesque regal household as the one in
Washington now. West Point cadets
with commissions in their pockets, are
presidential lackeys, and generals of the
United States armyare gentlemen ushers
to wait upon the orders of the late Gal.
ena tanner. This royal menagerie will
all disappear when Greeley comes. The
sight of the old white hat crossing the
threshold will put the whole military ar.
ray to instant fight. The White House
will resume again its old time
character, and become the dignifcd resi-
dence of plain republican President
and his modest household. Horace
Greeley will send the soldiers to the SOL
dier's work and not to the work of lack
eys and usbers in Washington, and bail
ifs and detectives in the South. The
bayonets will be relegated to the Rocky
Mountains to watch the Indians and pro
tect the settlers, instead of watching
Southern Democrats and protecting ear
pet-baggers.

To Puu an Egg In a I'hial.

To accomplish this seeminly incredible
feat requires the following preparation;
You soak an egg in very strong vinegar
until the shell becomes soft; should the
vinegar not be sufficiently strong sdd a
little acetic acid. When the shell is
xuite soft it may BE- extended lcngthwise
without breaking, and so put carefully
through the neck of small bottle, when
by pouring cold water upon il, it will
resume its natural shape and hardness.
Though one Of the simplest tricks Of
magic, this is really a curiosity, rs TO
those not in the secret, the question,
show did the egg get into the phialT
is as complete puzzle as how King
George found the "apple in the dump
ling"

Our train reached Bremen late in the eve
ming, but allowing sufficient time to examine
this old city before night. Most Of our first
cabin passengers put up at the fine Hold de
Nord. Bremen is the principal mouth which
has deluged our country with 40 many Ger
man emmigrants This city dates from the
eighth century, and il possesses many objects
Of interests, such ss old buildings Of medieval
origin. The greatest attractions are the prom
enades, gallery with modern pictures and
sculptures and the Rathskeller where the best
Rhine and other wines can be procured by
the glass or by the bottle. One old cask, noted
for the excellent wine IL yields, is called the
Twelve Apostles" The name struck me as
rather inappropriate. The wine room is open
daily, Sunday included, which seems TO be the
most busy day. In the Blukeller you may in
spect mummy four hundred years old, il you
should 80 desire. The Blukeller possesses the
power Of preventing decomposition and along
with the mummies, chickens, &c, are placed
for preservation. The statue Of Gustayus
Adolphus stands conspicuously on the Done
shof, an extensive "Platz." The statue as a
work Of art, presents little interest, but its
strange history attracts travellers.

SOCIETY.
A great draw back to Kansas is the unset
tied state Of society. II Is true to a lamen,a-
bic degree that society has no organization, no
safeguards but the germ Is planted here and
from IL will undoubtedly spring something not
to be ashamed Of in the future. Many good
families have come into Kansas within the last
two years and added their mite towards build
ing up the fabric that makes life enjoyable.
In our larger towns society isasgood and pure
as is desirable, although there is no tn-el
about IL.
Rcpublicanism rules, but not much jaw.
Liberals and Greeley Democrats are in some
force in the Northern and Eastern portions Of
the State. There IL not much enthusiasm in
politics here.
CRors

fine stalk and good healthy color; stands

And while Kentucky is fighting of and dread

vegetation spring upward. Nothing mars the
beautyof the scene save perhaps the occasional
