THE CODD
~ LING MOTH WORM.

"Soon after the young worms
have entered the apple, which they
generally do at the calyx end, they
begin to throw out their casting
through the hole which they made in
entering. AS this hole must be
originally very small, it is evident
that they must enlarge it for this
purpose. A portion Of these castings
adhere to the rough and shriveled
calyx, forming a rust-colored mass
which can be easely seen from the
ground beneath. Some horticulture
lists, among whom we may mention
Mr.. Oliver Chaplin, of East Bloom
field, N. Y, and Mr.. L. Barnes, of
Bloomingdale, Ills, have avaiIed
themselves Of this circumstance for
the puspose of removing the wormy
apples from the trees before the
worms have escaped. Mr.. Chaplin $
plan is to beat off the wormy fruit,
but MIR. Barnes adopts the method
Of picking them off by means of a
pole. These methods can be usefully
combined by first Earring or beating
off those apples which readily fall
and then going over the trees a second
time with pole and hook. The
apples thus removed should, ofcourse,
be fed to swine, or otherwise treated
SO as to destroy the worms within.
Too much value cannot be attached
to these simple expedients, which,
in the case Of few choice trees, OF
evon a small orchard, might almost
be made tie supe1cede the necessity
OF any other treatment" Prairie

A CHEAP FENCE.

At Baraboo, Wis, last week we saw a
tence of which we had heard favorable
reports, as cheap and durable for ordinary
farm use. 1t consists of pickets one inch
square, one end being coated with coal
tar and driven into the ground some six
inches At distance of about eight
feet inch boards four to six inches wide
ere driven in the ground, after receiving
a like coating The tors of the boards
are cut to one inch square, and over them
and the tops of the pickets is placed an
inch board with holes just large enough
to admit the pickets, which are placed
about eight riches apart. The strength
aud tirmness Of the fence is much greater
than we would have supposed would be
The case, and it is claimed that it will
asst for many years. The one we saw
has been in use three years, and the
pickets show no signs of decay. Mr.. A.
G. Tuttte, who called our attention to
tue fence, is'much pleased with it. We
could not learn whether or not it is pat.

WILLIAMS AND CARPENTER.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

From the Milwaukee, Sentinel.
The newspapers of the south have
been filed with comments for the
past week upon two notable speeches
just made upon their soil by two of
the foremost orators in the northwest,
Senator Carpenter, of this city,spoke
to an immense audience of the citi-
zins of New Orleans upon the unhap-
Ply condition Of affairs in Louisiana,
and at the same time the Hon. O. G
Williams, member Of congress elect
from the first district, was delivering
one of his br1lliantorations before the
congressional excursion transporta-
ton convention, at Galveston, Texas.
We have not yet any verbatim report
of the eloquent address which Mr..
Williams made at that time, but from
the newspaper reports Of it, and the
enthusiastic and highly eloquent
terms in which it is referred oft was
undoubtedly The speech Of the occa-
sion. The oratorical abilities of both
these Wisconsin gentlemen seemed
to be great surprise to the Southern
people who had the pleasure of listen
ing to their discourses. Carpenter is
rated superior to Stephen A. Douglas
as apleasing, magnetic public debater
and Williams is compared with the
gifted S. S. Prentiss, than whom nc
man of the South, living or dead, evel
enjoyed such high rank as an extern
pore speaker. The glowing fervol
and poetic imagery Of Williams is az
congenial to the minds Of Southern
people as the gorgeous beauty of one

UNCLE PHILANDER FORD.

THE PoPE's CRUTOH.

"A very good anecdote is circulating
at the Vatican. When the Pope as
sisted at mass few days ago in his
little private chapel he suddenly turn
ed to one Of the two and told him tc
hand him crutch, telling them that
they would fEd it in a certain place
which they did. Now, there is a tale
of curious import. attached to that
crutch. Some years ago, there was a
young man in France, named Guiran.
who had q congenital affection in his
left leg, SO that his whole limb was
bent up and could not be straighten-
ed. His parents were, Of course,yery
much afflicted but the doctors could
do nothing. A lady friend of the
family, however, very deyout tn
Ollie, had heard something of the ex-
traordinary cures effected by the
blessings of the Pope, and felt con-
WINGED that if she could get any arti
Gle of apparel that had been at any
time worn by his Holiness and apply
this to the lame limb some marvellous
result would come from it. She visit
ed Rome and succeeded, in fact, in
procuring stocking chat had been
worn by the Holy Father, and this
she took to France and had the afflict-
ed young man wear it. The effect
was miraculous. The crooked limb
grew better, and in short space Of
time the young man could walk as
we'll as anybody else. Some time af-
terWard the boy and his father came
to Rome, bringing with them the
crutch that the former had earlier
worn. The Pope received them in
special audience. They told him all
about the wonderful cure that had
been affected by the wearing of the
sanctifed stocking, Helistened good
naturally, and, when they had finish
ed, said, in his characteristic way
"This is indeed very strange thing.
l wore that stocking for two long
years, and it never did me any good"
This story comes from such reliable
source that Irepeat it here. The fact
of the cure having taken place in a
remarkable manner is not to be doubt
ed. AS to how far faith and the Holy
Fathers stocking had any influence
in effecting the cure,-this | leave un-
discussed.

now circulating in that capital apro-

of glory in his own profession, was
unfortunate in this, that he was
deeply in debt. One day, as he was

General, messenger came in 'and

Theodore Thomas has now set him
self to the vastly more formidable
task of polishingsits manners. The
undertaking has a rather hopeless
look at first glance but, if anybody
can make a successso it Theodore is
the man, and he evidently means bus
mess. Last Monday evening, while
the orchestra were evolving the "link-
ed sweetness long drawn out" of the
"Midsummer Nights Dream" over
ture, and the usual i'll bred chatter
was at its height, he suddenly turned
with gesture of command to the
drummers. At first, the Tribune
says, the takers, not seeing the point,
kept on chattering. But the contin-
ued rolling of the drums, the laughter
of the orchestra, and the emphatic
applause Of their music-loving neigh
bors, presently revealed it to them,
and there was an end Of the annoy
ance for that evening. At the very
next concert, however,it was renewed.
Theodore abruptly broke off the Mas
aniello overture, and said he would
wait till the ladies and gentlemen
had quite finished. An evening or
two after, he had occasion to repeat
the lesson-and did it,.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3.-After rising about
three feet the river began to fall slowly this
evening. The ice above the bridge is still
strong and pedestrians continue to cross,
but the gorge at Carondelet is weaker. A
large field broke off last night and sunk
four bsrges, three of them laden with iron
ore. One of the harges belonged to the
Ohio River Salt Company. The others
were owned here. Although the weather
turned colder last night and sharp freeze
took place, which has continued ever since,
the opening Of navigation below here is COZ
sidered SO near at hand that the crews Of
several steamers have gone to Cairo std
other points TO bring up their boats. SeV-
eral representatives Of the ferry and packet
companies held a, meeting to-day to con-
slider the question Of removing the ice be-
tween here and Csrondelet. The owners
of the Great Republic made proposition
10 break passage through the gorge for

delet tomorrow TO view the situation there
and then decide what shall Oe done. In
the meaItime the low boat Fisher is hitting
