forth their young alive. These are likewise
all females, similar TO those from winch
they sprang, and they in tnrn produce
similar brood in the same anomalous man,
ner. This process is repeated again and l5
again during the summer and until IN the
fall, through some six or seven or even
more generations. The last fall brood pre-
sents a remarkable change, for 1t usually
consists almost entirely Of males and te-
males which acquire wings. These winged
females, as previously stated, after pairing,
deposit eggs which remain over the winter,
DR.. Fitch. in his Sixth New York Report,
writes of the natural history and rapid in
crease of the grain aphis as follows
"These insects, in growing to maturity,
cast off their skins three or four times at
least; and numbers of these empty skins
of whitish color, were everywhere noticed
among clusters of the lice The insects
themselves occurred invthree very distinct
forms upon the grain through the season !;
first, winged females Gig. 3-2); second,
wingless females Gig. 30, these being
much more numerous than the winged
ones; and third, young lice Or larya.

A Chinese Wedding.

The Calaveras Prospect thus notices a
Chinese wedding which occurred in that
section: Mr.. All He, prominent citizen in
Chinese circles in Amador county, was on
Tuesday last united in the holy bonds of
matrimony to Mrs. All You, relict OF Dr.
All You, of this place, and leader of
fashion in the lower wards of San Andreas.
The ceremony was performed by Judge
Patrick Henry Kean, III his office Owing
to friends of the bride opposing the mar
riagc, it was thought best 10 seize the early
morn as the proper moment, and have the
knot tied in the presence OF only two
friends of the bride. Mrs. All You was
dressed in loose, flowing blue-silk panta
lettes and tunic overskirt hair Ia pompd
dour Mr. All He wore bran new suit OF
blue broadcoth, a Ia japanese. Mr.. An
Bow Dee wore a tin pair of pants, neatly
polished, with stove-pipe hat and sheet
iron coat, cut bias. Mr. Ye Kay See was
dressed in blue broadcloth Of the old
Martel pattern, with the skirts of the coat
tucked in broad plaits. 1t is proper to say
the Judge gracefully saluted the bride
when the knot was tied.

BISHOP WALDEN

Is an Ohio man. He was born at Lebanon,
in that State, February II, 1881. In 1852
he graduated with hOnors from Farmers
College, and for two years served there as a
tutor Subsequently he went to Kansas
where he published newspaper in sup
port of the free State idea Afterwards he
was member of the Topeka Legislature,
and was appointed State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction. Returning to Ohio, he
entered the Cincinnati Conference in 1858,
and has ever since been an honored mem
Der of that body, having represented ii five
times in the General Conference. For the
last sixteen years he has been one of the
agents of the Western Methodist Book Con-
Germ. Bishop Walden is noted for the
strength rather than the brilliancy of his
talents. His executive ability is remark
able. He is vel! known in his native
State, particularly in Cincinnati, where he
has long been a recognized leader of the
temperance and other moral movements.
In appearance Bishop Walden IS not IN
like Bishop Simpson, and as he grows
older and gets grayer the resemblance viii
become still more striking.

PHILADELPHIA. May is. 1s84.

Tonight, which marks the END Of the
second week of the Conference, brings us
to the close of a great struggle on the
Bishop question On Friday last the Com
nittee on Episcopacy, following the lead of
the Committee on Missions, decided to
recommend the fixing Of episcopal resi-
dences in India and Europe The idea was,
not to elect missionary Bishops for those
countries, but to send there Bishops hay
ing equal power with the other members
of the Episcopal Board, and liable with
the rest to take their turn il meeting an
nual Conferences in the home work. The
measure came TO grief the vote being as
follows: Ministers in favor Of sending a
Bishop TO reside in India, I44 against,
ITO: majority in favor, 81. Laymen in IA
vor 50; against, 81; majority OF laymen
against, - Thus, on the total vote the
report was carried by u votes. but the two
orders not uniting in It's favor, il was not
adopted When the measure first came up

In connection with the description of the
females Of this family the term Aqauic is
used, meaning those which produce their
Young without the intervention of the
male, and applies TO the reproduction either
of the viviparous or oyiparous females
DR.. Thomas, in the Sixteenth Illinois
Report writes of the plaut-licc: These
insects, as likewise all other species belong
ing to the order Horm0ptoco undergo only
a partial metamorphosis, or transforma-
ton; that is to say, they never are worms
or grubs. and never undergo those remark
able changes which transform the grub
into beetle and the caterpillar into but
terhy. The larve and pup2 are similar to
the perfect insect in form and habits, and
although they frequently cast their skins,
and the winged specimens gradually &C
quire these organs there is no tue dormant
pupH or chrySalis state, as We find in many
other insects. Their whole lives are, there
fore. devoted TO imbibing food and in pro-
ducing new broods, In the autumn. as a
general and almost universal rule, the last
brood consists Of winged specimens both
males and females These pair, soon after
which the male dies the female deposits
her eggs, after which she also dies Early
in the spring, or as soon as the sap
begins 10 flow, these eggs hatch, and
the young lice at once insert their tiny
beaks into the bark or leaf on which they
are situated, and begin 10 pump out the
sap. They wander but little, their entire
time being devoted to feeding; hence they
grow rapidly, and soon come TO maturity
The spring brood consists, generally with
out an exception, Of females. These fe-
males, by some

Remedy: The trees fruit and foliage
should be SPRAYED with the whale-oil soap
and sulpbur solution. TO prevent the moth
from dcpositing her eggs on the fruit, and
also for the inUrovement of the tree. If
the moths are around the trees, mix one
mound of buhach in ten gallons of the solu-

\ LITTLE crRcuMsrAxcE

Occurred, which all well-wishers of the
church, and OF its foreign missionary oper-
ations in particular, must regret. II was a
personal affair between two delegates from
that country. Ram Chandra Bose is a ma
tive lay delegate from India, and Rev DR..
Parker, long and h0nOred missionary
there, comes as ministerial delegate. The
former opposed the project to locate an
episcopal residence III his native land, and
alleged that such q movement was not de-
sired by the native converts DR. Parker
on the other hand, was just as warm in his
advocacy of this scheme, and his conten-
ton was that the native church did want a
resident Bishop To offset the influence of
Mr.. Bose Dr.. Parker let the cat out of the
bag in regard to the way in which his cleo
ton as a delegate was secured, His charge
was that Bose has been sent to the Confer
cnce by convention of seven laymen, Of
whom he himself was one This Mr. Bose
denied. 1t was true, he said, that there
were but seven men in the meeting that
elected him, but he was not one of them.
Dr. Parker accepted this correction, and
apologized for the unintentional misstate-
ment. But the matter did not rest here.
Mr. Bose got on the warpath. The rea-
SON he said, why there was so small an
attendance at the gathering which consti-
tuted nm delegate, was that 50 many
were prevented from attending by their
missionary masters" Naturally such a
charge as this provoked an earnest re-
spouse, and eventually the wrangle was
squelched by the conference proceeding
with other business
The committees have deliberated upon a
number of subjects, but have reached few
conclusions, and the few reports presented
have not vet been acted upon. Among the
latter the most important is, perhaps, the
slider the question of
