Enemies OF the Apple-Tree.

The apple-tree numbers among its enc.
mics not less than seventy-five different
species of insects. OF these, the blight
insect (Eriosoma Dyrt0 and the young of
the cicada prey on its roots. The for
mer is near ally of the Phylorera that
does such great harm to the vine. The
roots of tree infested with it should be
dipped in soap suds, and, when replant-
ed, a shovel of ashes should be mixed
with the dirt. The young of the cicada
commonly called lOcust-lives sixteen
years in the ground, and, though usually
sucking the sap from the roots of the oak,
it sometimes attacks the apple-tree, and,
during this long period, proves a serious
drain on the tree.
The trunk of the apple-tree is subject
to attacks from number of beetles that
bore into the bark and wood. Among
these pests the most prominent is the
common -bOrer (SdDerdG can
did0). This may be kept down by cut
ting out the worms, or by pouring hot
water into their holes, in the autumn; OF
by applying soap to the trunk, or sur
rounding it with tarred papers in the
spring. Two Buprustid borers, the
Chryso6othris fe'nOrdt0 and the G. Hd1rieu,
are also conspicuous foes, and are to be
treated in the same way as the Sdperda

Next to the borers the most destruct-

insect (Nytildspis pOmOru,n, BOuche). The
best remedy for this evil is to scrape the

Col. FoRNEY writes from Rome: "Ev-
erybOdy has read about the Appian
Way. 1t was the great line of cOmmuni-
cation between Rome and Southern
Italy. Before you reach the old road
you see the colossal ruins of the baths of
Caracalla, which occupy the space of
nearly mile and accommodated 1000
bathers at time; but this is surpassed
by the size of the bath of Diocletiau,
which accommodated $500 bathers at a
time. The baths were the favOrite re-
sorts of the poets and philosophers, and
were adorned with porticos and vesti-
bules for the idle and libraries for the
learned they were also decorated with
the finest objects of art in painting and
SCULPTURE, and placed in the midst of
fountains and shaded walks. Along the
Appian Way were built the tombs con-
tanning the urns with the ashes of hun
dreds and thousands of Romans who
lived and died thousands of years ago.
These tombs are temples above ground,
built of solid stone walls, inside of which
were placed the urns, while outside were
carved the beautiful decorations and
inscriptions, oftentimes including ex-
quisite statuary to designate the
dead. Many of their busts were
found centuries after inside, and as
you now ride along this still solid road
you see the REMAINS Ol COSTLY
with the fragments of their marble me-
MORALS and highly-wrought statues.
You would think that this road of the
tOmbs would be rather mournful affair,
but the Romans had strange notions of
death. Their funerals were jolly feasts
and they liked to have their villas and
their merry meetings near the houses of
their departed relations and ancestors.
For miles the relics of the graves extend
along the Appian Way. One of the
most curious of these sepulchers is the
tomb of Cacelia Metella, erected sixty
seven years before Christ to the mem
DRY of Cacelia, the daughter of Quintus
Metellus, the conqucror of Crete and
wife of Crassus. 1t is a circular tower
of massive construction and enormous
strength and has seen many changes. 1t

the middle ages and sustained great in
jury in the sixteenth century when
Rome was besieged. To-day it stands

As BROAD AS CIvILIZATIoN.-The agent of
the Wilson Sewing Machine Company will,
in few days, sail from San Francisco for
Chilli, in South America, where he will open
a branch house and exhibit the world re
nowned Wilson shuttle sewing machine at
the grand exposition to be held at Santiago
under the auspices of that Government. By
this step the Wilson Sewing Machine Com
pany will complete the circuit of the globe.

China, Japan, British Indies, England,
France, and throughout South America. Su-
preme in its superiority over all other sewing
machines, the Wilson goes on widening its
field year after year, carrying the blessings
of a cheap, capable and perfect sewing ma
chine to the remotest haunts of civilian
ton. Machines will be delivered at any rail-
road station in this county free of trans
pOrtation charges, if ordered through the
company's branch house at 1877 State street,

THERE could scarcely be better evil
dence of the extraordinary excellence
of the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs
than the fact that they are so largely
exported to Europe, where they are so
highly appreciated as to find large sales
in competition with instruments made
there by labor which does not cost half
as much. These are the only American
organs largely exported.

PATENT MEDICINEs.-That there are
some good patent medicines no intelligent
man dare for moment deny; and pre-
eminent is the great California hero medi
cine, VINEGAR BITrERs, discovered by
DR. j. WALKER, a prominent physician of
San Francisco. This medicine, although
called Bitters, is not to be classed among
the vile fancy drinks" recommended and
sold over the bar by rum-venders, but is Il
combination of pure herbalistic extracts
known to possess sterling medicinal quail
tiles, ard is compounded without the use
in any shape of spirits. Its action upon
the internal system is not stimulating to
the extent that alcoholic poison is, but it
at once attacks blOod-impurities, and by
removing the original cause destroys the
germ of disease and invites returning
health. Its action upon the stomach and
liver renders it an almost certain specific
i'm the most stubborn cases of dyspepsia,
and in truth imparts new life and vigor
to the whole system. 1t is one of the
best medicines ever invented. %

discussion, Sarauw's amendment No. /
was rejected, JGrs' was adopted, as a con-
sequence of which Sarauw's second amend
ment did not come to vote. The Commit
tees Draft so amended was then adopted,
and the matter passed to third discussion.
The following item on the Order Of
the Day was first reading Of Draft of
Additional Grant for Bureau advances for
January-March 1875. After a few re-
marks by the President and Sarauw, the
Draft passed to second reading.
Then came on second discussion of the
proposal from S members for an Address
to the Government. The Committee,
consisting of the S members themselves,
had framed q Draft of an Address which
some of the members did not find ample
enough, as it did not contain distinct indi-
cation of the items wherein retrenchments
could be effected. After q protracted
discussion, the Council agreed to a reso-
luton of about the following tenor: In
consideration of the explanations and
information given by His Excellency
0OVCl1Ol OdIuO III PtN'iDU' hAONUiHS0' III

The Chairman got the Committee on
the Rum Shop Ordinance fortified with
two "Burgher members" Messrs, Jollife
and Faber, as the previous Committee
with its three %jurists and two planters had
'sstuck fast" in the intricacies of the
matter.
The first discussion of the Draft of
Ordinance concerning pension for Mr.. E.

for the renewal Of the engagement Of
two public physicians. Both OF these
cases were referred for further discussion
to o meeting on Monday next, when, be-
sides those two cases, there will, as we
