On the night of the 9Th wicked
plot was planned to blow up the

Just in time to save the sad catastro-

press room, filed the furnace with
coal and started the fires booming.
The boiler is regulated to blow off
under a pressure of 60 pounds of
steam, but the would-be destroyer
took a stoker's shovel, and, placing
one end under the piston of the en-
gine, braced down the steam register
so that about lS0 pounds of steam
could he attained without blowing
off. Had not the condition of the
fire been discovered at the time it
was, in few minutes more a terri

The Apple.twig BOrer.

Ed. JOURNAL One of my neigh.
bors found recently that his young
apple trees were nearly destroyed
if not very seriously injured by the
ravages of an insect which perforst-
ed the trees at the forks formed by
the twigs and by eating out the
inside of these destroyed them. l
enclosed q sample OF the effects Of
this pest to the Agricultural Depart
meut at. Washington and in due
time received the following reply
which / commend to the thoughtful
attention of all who desire to see
fruit culture extended in this coun.
try, merely adding as an "ounce of
prevention is worth pound of
cure :" 30 little attention bestowed
in the right time may save several
years of care and anxiety.
G. 6. T.
WASHINGTON, April 26, 80.
Hon. WILLIAM G. LEDUc, Com
missioner Of Agriculture, Sir: In
reply to the communication of the
18th inst. from Mr.. George 8. Tru-
man, Genoa, Neb., which you have
referred to me I would state:
The holes in the twig which Mr..
Truman sends are evidently the
work of the apple twig borer (Am-
phiee1ks bicaudatus). This beetle Is
dark brown in color and varies from
one-fifth to two.fifth inches in length
and the males have two little thorns
projecting backwards from the pos
terror end of the body. These in
sects commence their work In June,
always boring In twigs and usually
making their entrance Just above
bud or fork. The twigs thus In.
jured die and often break of and
fall to the ground during heavy
winds. The remedy Is to carefully
gather the fallen twigs and out those
from the trees which show signs OF
injury and burn them. This should
be done during the months Of Au-
gust and September especially In
order to be sure of burning them
before the insect escapes.
Very respectfully,
j. HENRY CoMsTocK,
Entomologist.

John Bright.

1t is related that once party o
Americans entered n studio, where "A
fine portrait, just completed, was stand =
ing on the artists easel.
"Oh,n said one of the Americans,
"that must be John Bull"
No" quietly responded the artist,
"it's John Bright"
The anecdote forcibly illustrates the
truly British physical type of the Qua
ker orator and statesman. In personal
appearance, certainly. he is an English
man of Englishmen. Robust, though
not corpulent, of body; with n round,
full face, and bold, straight nose; his
countenance rounded. open. BEAUTIFULLY
rudy, having remarkable purity OF
complexion and fine texture of skin; the
eyes, large, gray, clear, bright, some
times stern and defiant. but in repose
often gentle ana kindly; decision and
vigor most plainly expressed in the
resolute mouth and firm jaw and chin !;
face less mobile than calm and set !;
the brow broad and white, and arched
high at the top; tire whole frame strong,
well-proportioned, almost massive. in.
dicating great powers of endurance. and
giving, even at his present age, no hint
of that delicacy of health which has in
recent years impaired his public activ-
ity. In his company. one has keen
sense OF his power, one feels himself in
the presence of born leader of men.
He holds his head high, and looks you.
and every one, full in the face; and that
with n keen. searching glance that
rather robs you ot your ease. Self-re.
lance, honesty, pride of intellect, reso-
lution-nay, even intolerance may be
read in his expression.
John Bright is now in his sixty-ninth
year. He is two years younger than
Gladstone and six younger than Lord
Beaeonsfield; and as English statesmen
are peculiarly vigorous race, and often
continue their public activities into the
eighties. 1t may be hoped that he has
still some years of labor in the cause of
reform before him. His public life be-
gan in I643, wien he was thirty two
years of age, in which year he was
elected TO parliament by the old historic
city of Durham. Four years later he
took his seat for the first time as the
representative of the great progressive
constit uency of Manchester. His career
in the house of commons, therefore, has
extended over period OF thifty.sevcn
years. Good Company.

A Modern ROmuIus.

In his interesting work, entitled
jungle Life In India" Mr.. Ball has
adduced good reasons for believing that
the old classical story of the rearing of
Romulus and Remus by she-wol may
be founded on fact. This author cites
The case of two lads in an orphanage ut
Sekandra, near Agra, who had been
discovered among wolves, and In many
ways shared the habits of these anf-
mails. One of his stories is supported
by u letter from Professor Max Muller.
1t says: A trooper sent by the native
governor of Chandaur to demand pay
ment OF some revenue, was passing along
the banks of the river about noon, when
he saw large female wolf leave her
den, followed by three whelps and lit
tie boy. The boy went on all-fours,
and when the trooper tried TO catch him
with the old one. They all entered the
den, but were dug out by the people
with pickaxes, and the boy was secured.
He struggled hard TO rush into every
hole or den they came near. He became
alarmed when he saw Il grown-up per-
son. but tried to fly Mt children and bite
them. lie rejected cooked meat with
disgust, but delighted in raw flesh and
bones, putting them under his paws
like dog. They tried to make him
speak, but could get nothing from him
but an angry growl or snarl. Another
instance is quoted as having occurred at
Chupra. A Hindoo father ant mother
went out to cut their crop in March,
lsi3. The woman had with her little
boy, who lately had been severely
burned on the left knee. While the
parents were Mt work the child was car
ried off by wolf. Some years after
ward wolf with three cubs was seen
about ten miles from Chupra followed
by boy. The boy, alter much resist
ance, was caught and recognized by the
mark of the burn on the left knee. He
could eat nothing but raw flesh, and
could never be brought TO speak. He
used to mutter and snarl. but never
articulated distinctly. The pans of his
knees and the points of his elbows had
become horny from going on all-fours
with the wolves. In November, 1850,
this boy escaped again and disappeared
into the jungle. Thus the "she-wolfs
litter" of Macaulay's Lays of Ancient
Rome" may have been. after all, no
myth.
