The Apple Magg0t.

This new insect is described as being
of greenish-white color, about three
sixteenths of an inch in length, "with
the tail squarely docked, and tapering
in front from the middle of the body to-
ward the head; head pointed and when the
mouth is protruded, displaying two slen-
der coal-black hooks" In its work tits dis
tinguished from the Larvae of the codling
moth, which confines itself to the core of
the apple, by boring through the fruit
in every direction, leaving its excrement
along its pathway. Its original breed
ing-place is the native crab, and it has
only recently begun to iniest the culti-
waited apple. As it produces but sim
gle brood in the course of season, it
may not prove as formidable as the codling
moth, which natures two broeds in the
season. These insects hibernate in the
ground during the winter; very late fall
plowing is probably one of the most eff
cient remedies.
The destruction of all infested fruit is
one of the essentials to the su5jugation
of these insects, and this can be best &C.
complished by having hogs consume the
fallen fruit until the time of ripening ap.
proaches.

A~WOnde7TtIL I1sUe7ltiO1a.

The French papers tell us of won
derful invention, which will enable the
feeblest among us to witch the world
with noble workmanship. The horse of
the future is not to be driven by ordi-
nary reins, but by electricity combined
with them. The coachman is to have
under his seat an electromagnetic appa-
ratus, which he works by little handle.
One wire is carried through the rein to
the bit, and another to the crupper, so
that current once set up goes the en-
tire length of the animal along the spine.
A sudden shock will, we are gravely as
sured, stop the most violent runaway OF
the most obstinate jibber. The creature,
however strong and however vicious, is
at once transformed into a sort of inof
fensive horse of wood, with the feet
firmly nailed to the ground. Curiously
enough, the opposite effect may be pro
duced bya a succession of small shocks
Under the influence of these the veriest
screw can be suddenly endowed with {
vigor and fire indescribable, and eve,
the Rosinante of Don Quixote woult
gallop like Derby winner.

Mldyl0t P0sh0's Fan.

A special from ConstantinOple to the
Pail Mall Gazette, says the cause of
Midhat Pasha's fall dates from some time
back. The imperious character of
Midhat Pasha clashed with the frmness
of the Sultan, whose liberal views went
far ahead of Midhat's. The Constitution
disappointed the Sultan by the null
tiplicity of its reserves and qualifications,
and many warm discussions occurred be-
tween the sovereign and minister. The
Sultan desired to introduce a largely
foreign element into the Turkish ad-
ministration, especially to the employing
of Englishmen ia leading posi- tions in
all departments. His majesty expressed
this desire to Midhat very strongly on
several occasions, and last week took
him sternly to task for not having acted
upon it. Midhat replied curtly, and
wrote subsequently to the Sultan, in un-
deferential terms. On Friday the
Sultan sent for Midhat Pasha, but the
summons was not obeyed. On Saturday
Midhat remained at home on tue plea of
indisposition. On Sunday third sum-
mons was disobeyed, but Midhat at
tended ministerial council in the
afternoon. Meanwhile the police dis
covered some secret correspondence
which showed that Midhat Pasha was
plotting for the overthrow of the Sultan,
and his own nomination as Dictator. On
Monday preparatory summons brought
Midhat to the Palace. Suspecting moth
ing, on entering he was arrested, and his
letters laid before him. There was no
gainsaying the evidence against him, and
he asked for mercy. A council of
ministers was called, and Midhat Pasha
was offered the choice of leaving the
country or being arraigned before the
tribunal on charge of high treason. He
elected to leave the country. The letters
found disclosed that three thousand
Ulemas were to have gone ON Monday
night to the Palace to demand the abdi-
cation of the Sultan. The fall of Midhat
Pasha will check no reforms, the Sultan
being determined to carry out the Consti-

Testing 10 over with me forever;
Life is too sober at ffty-one;
No longer I worship the witty and clever;
Things that amused me loathe and shun.
I have come TO the summit and now begun

There's damp In the air there's gloom on tn
Whose waning the vapors Of Orcus hide.
And my fellow-travelers, left and right,

How lonely feel as get more nigh

SONG.
BY JOHN s. REID.

Tune: "Lochaber No More"
Farewell to bonnie Scotland and banks of the Tay
To her lochs and her mountains and deep sounding
bay;
Farewell to Glen sySh, its birk woods 50 green,
Where oft in ife's morning how happy I've been.
The bark rides at anchor far out in the bay.
Her sails are unfurled, no longer will stay.
To bear me and mine to far distant shore.
Maybe to return to Glen Syon no more
o, dark was the morning. and deep was the woe
When the home of the clansman was sold to the
foe;
When the sword and the spear left idle to rust
And the pride of the chieftain lay low in the dust
Weep, weep for Culloden and mourn for the brave
Who fell in the battle their country to save;
But honor the clansman, the faithful and true,
Arrayed in his tartan and bonnet of blue.
U, deep is the anguish and pain of my heart,
From friends and from country forever to part;
The home of my fathers no more will see,
Nor the old heaththatched cottage so dear unto me-
But time rolls along, like a swift mountain stream
And the past flies away, like night-fitting dream,
And the hopes of my youth time can never restore,
For Tll never return to Glen Syon once more.

GONbIthg asp a.. Estate.

New York Commercial Advertiser.l
Some five or six years ago a we'll
known citizen, James B. Taylor, died,
leaving property estimated to be worth
one million of dollars. The widow was
executrix and the granddaughter con-
testant. The lawyers have kept the case
in litigation up to the present time.
Some time since it was found that there
was nothing left for Mrs. Taylor or the
granddaughter to dispute about, and the
case was abandoned by the family. With
the depreciation of property and the
enormous fees of lawyers, referees, re-
ceivers, and what not, there is less than
two hundred thousand dollars left, which
the lawyers and some other parties hold
ing claims against the estate are strug-
Cling to secure. The first allowance to
counsel was $4,000 to E. w. Stoughton,
Rufus. Andrews, and A. J. Vanderpool :;
$4,000 to special administrators Sweeny
and Devlin; 5000 commission for sell
ing ten shares of the New York Times
$4,000 for receivers expenses; Henry
Clinton, lawyer, $4,000; David R.
Jacques, $4,000; Senator Herman So, 900
for arguing the will case, and Senator
Roscoe Conkling $4,000 for preparing
to argue the case; William Beaverton
5000, and half dozen others ranging
from $4,000 to $500. What a fine fat
goose the estate of Taylor's has been fol
the lawyers to pluck. Better squandel
your money when alive than leave it fol
badly advised children to squabble ovel
for the benefit of lawyers, administra
tors. and receivers. 1t was Lord Brougham
who once facetiously defined a law
yer thus: GA learned gentleman who
rescues your estate from your enemies
and keeps it himself" How true it il
that, with law as with physic, the les
we have to do with it the better.

To give an idea of the present state

To give an idea of the present state of
music in London, contemporary men
tions the following facts: The names of
professors of music resident in London
occupy fifty one columns of the Musical
Directory, with an average of about
five names to column. Twenty-four
colums are occupied with the names of
various musical tradesmen. There are
sixty amateur musical societies in the
metropolis, and upward of seven hun
dred concerts were given during the
year in London alone. The list of pro-
fessors and music-sellers in the provinces
extends over one hundred and fourteen
columns. And, finally, about twenty.
seven hundred musical compositions OF
all sorts (the name, composer, and pub.
fishers of each piece being given) were
published, mostly in the metropolis, dur
ing the year 1875.
