lii his Younger days the subject Of this
sketch, when on Il whaling expedition, had
al opportunity to stop ut the island of st.
Helena, where he made the acquaintance
Of Miss Legge with whom he appeared
to fall desperately in love This charming
young English girl was one among seven
teen children and was born in the town of
jamestown, which is pleasantly situated
in a valley between two of the highest
hills on this island
1t may not be uninteresting to say that
she was one, when quite Il child, with
whom Napoleon delighted to play. and
while away the lonely hours of his captjv-
ity. Having been taught to believe that
he was a tyrant, it was long before she
could overcome a feeling of awe with
which his presence inspired her.
When his remains Were finally conveyed
to France, the commissioners sent out for
the purpose, by that government, met this
child, then u woman grown, with an en-
thusiasm characteriStic:o the French and
almost overwhelmed her with carcsses.
The grey haired generals embraced. wept.
and laughed over her in turns. to her no
small embarrassment.
This accomplished lady has still in her
possession some relics OF Napoleon
Among them is n glass finger bowl with
the letter \. painted N the bottom of it.

pcnse. for his clothes being the worse for
wear, he had substituted u suit OF the Cap

Captain was short and thick set, while Mr..
Browne was tall and spare. As it may be
expected the fit was not u good one, for
the pants were too Short, Us we'll is the
coat being too small Nothing daunted,
he sauntcred on shore with all the indie
pendence Of true American, where his
mGainly appearance attracted the attCn-
lion and lnerriment OF all
ii appears that Miss Legge proved her
self exceedingly agreeable and entertain

Borcrs Disposed OF.

Before the regular discussion of the
Wellsburg meeting of farmers last Satllr-
day, Judge Knapp explained the way by
which for three successive seasons he had
prevented the ravages Of the borer in his
Young appleorchard. He had before
adopting his present plan, found it impos-
sible to keep the trees free from the pest.
and with all his care he had suffered the
loss Of many, so that every season, to keep
his rows whole, he was obliged to replant
more or less. The prevention of trouble
is SO easy and simple in his case that it is
quite worth extended trial.
Three years ago he procured quantity
of tanners refuse lime intermingled with
hair and flesh. and about each tree he put
one peck. That is all Since that appli-
cation, never repeated, he has had no
trouble whatever from borcrs, although
the trees Just over the fence are as badly
infested as ever. He is confident that, be-
sides the immunity from this scomge, the
application has had the direct effect to
promote growth and general thrift. This
5prlng he expects to apply another peck
10 each tree The cost of the whole IN his
case Is less than one cent per year for
each tree, the peck coSting2 - cents and
lasting through three years. If there are
Others who have tried the same substance
in their orchards, We should be glad to
learn how their experience compares with
