Mr.. 2. L. Barnum went to the White
House to console the President the
other day, but found his ministrations
Unnecessary. He remarked on his ar
rival that he came TO express his
sympathy because he has great deal of
IT for anybody who was President. He
had known every President from Jack
son down, and they had ali got gray
under it except Grant. They worried
themselves to death. "There is no dan
ger 10 me, Mr.. Barnum," answered the
President. II do not intend TO grow
gray in office. 1 do not allow my official
annoyances to follow me outside OF this
room. l 90 to my family, play with my
children, and forget that l am Presi-

APPLES BESET By A NEW BEETLE,

A New Haven letter says: A species
oil beeJe has made its appearance this
season, for the first time, on the apple
trees III this part OF the State, and,
though their ravages have not as yet
been extensive, they give promise of be-
ing as great pest as the Colorado
beetle or the curcuIio. This bug noun is
the trees and bites hole of moderate
size in the ripening fruit. Following up
the attack, he eats his way INTO the APP
pie and devours everything inside The
skin expect the seed vessels.
A farmer brought, yesterday, into the
agricultural store OF Frank 5. Platt, on
state street, large sized apple which
nad been subject W a visitation of the
new parasite. He had been thinking
that his apples were large and fair, anu
about ready TO pick. What was his as
tonishment on making the discovery
that the supposed apples were nothing
except hollow skins.

A NIGHTS STRANGE JOURNEY.

A party of young men crossed the
Grefensee, Canton Zurich, to Failenden,
Switzerland, a few days since, TO wit
ness ths oonse Grafton Of new church.
On arriving at their destination, they
fastened their craft with long chain to
the jetty, and after going to church and
eating a good supper, washed down by
oopiouS ibations of beer, they went
down to their boat. 1t was already
dark, so they made the best of their way
homeward, The journey was long and
tedious. On and on they went, but the
harder they rowed the less progress
they seemed to make. They were in de-
spair, some of them thought they were
doomed for their sins to remain forever
on the lake. When down broke the
crew were we'll nigh spent, two OF them
fay in the bottom Of the boat utterly ex-
hausted. They looked round. tley
looked twice, they looked thrice, before
they could realize the fact that they had
forgotten to unloose their boat from the
chain, and that they had been rowing
for their lives the night through within
few yards of the newly consecrated
church.
