End that the resistant theory still holds
good, aud that the apple-tree that is
carefully and literally fed is always able
to resist the attacks of the various
species of bark-lice and similar parasitic
enemies. OF course we must make ex-
>eptions with respect to trees planted in
unfavorable soils and climates, for: in
such cases weakness and general debility
follow from other causes than lack of
sustenance and care, and there may be
instances where over-stimuiation will
produce unhealthiness in both plants
and animals; but these are comparatively
rare. An animal may become too fat
by generous feeding, with little or no
exercise, but parasites seldom infest the
overfed, while they are certain to attack
the poor and feeble.
Mi.dew on plants is usually attributed
to unfavora5le seasons, which is no
doubt true; but it is the extremes in tenn
perature or some hygrometric condition
that weaken the vitality of the plant and
make the conditions favorable to the at

nized as mildew. Our grasses are fire.
quently attacked by mildew during the
summer, after several days Of cloudy
weather, which prevents the leaves from
performing their proper functions; but
several cold dry days may produce the
same re suits; and this leads us to believe
til at any extreme which weakens vitality
is favorable to mildew. The finding OF
bacteria in the branches of peach-.rees,
or of a particular species of fungus on
the curled leaves in spring, is no indica.

Happiness is the congruity between a cres.

Conviction, were 1t ever SO excellent, is worth

Scot has an awkwardly persistent man
ner of standing in the Briton's sunlight
and of being the formost to seize the
prizes and the different good things OF

siye and prehensile as in the case OF the
veritable Hebrew he has fewer amiaole
qualities by way of compensation, and he
has infinitely less sense of humor. Yet
Englishmen, when they havs been hope
lessly distanced by the CaDny aliens from

and amity with their rivals and have no
more notion of making the counties too
hot to hold them than they have OF re-

George Alfred Townshend, Gath" in

Blaine men this afternoon, when they
gave the following curious points about
Governor Foster, of Ohio: ut was his
cunning" said one, (which worked in
Garfelds nomination, and John Sher-
man was right when he laid the matter
to Foster, though at the same time it
was thing of personal ambition on
Fosters part. and not devotion to Gar
field, whom he called all through the
Chicago Convention a great big boy.
Garfield was really in favor of Blaine, al.
though his State pride led him to adhere
to Sherman; but he had certain love
for Blaine, and when Sherman's chances
ueemed gone up resolved, at our invita-
ton, to swing loose and vote for Blaine
in the Ohio delegation. Every time he
was about to do so Charley Foster would
hold him down and say, NO, don'tyou
do it. 1t will be your loss if you do.
Stick to Sherman And Foster did
make him stick to Sherman till he beat
Grant and beat Blaine, and then he
brought Garfield forward and beat Sher'
man, too. 1t was transparent game,
but it was Charley Fosters. He said To
one Of our men: Garfield is nothing but
big boy Yes, by Cod was the reply,
and you want to constitute yourself his

"BREvrrY is THE SOUL OF WIT,


The following amusing story, which
was told by Franklin ought to be read
and aCled upod by all correspondents
com municating their thoughts to the
newspaper press. A younk manor com
menCing business, proposed to paint over
his shop windows, John Thompson,
hstter, makes nd lells hats for ready
money" to this was added the sign of a
hat. One friend suggested that as he
made and sold hats, the word chatter"
was unnecessary. 1t was therefore struck
out and the sign remained, John Thomp'
son makes and cells hats for ready mon
ey." Another friend advised him to
omit the phrase, ''for ready money" as
there would occur occasions for selling
on credit; and 80 the sign read: "John
Thompson makes and sells hats" Itwas
then hinted the buyer of the hat did not
care who made it, and the sign would be
better if 1t read: John Thompson sells
hats" But another amputation was in
store still, for a critic pointed out the
uselessness of the phrase "sells hats, for,
said he, mo one would ever suppose
that the hats were to be given away for
nothing" Thus at last thisaspiring trades
man commenced business, like many
worthy successors, under the modest sign
of "John Thompson"
