The Passmore Williamson Case.

The Supreme Court OF Pennsylvania has
refused to release Passmore Williamson on
his application to be discharged from the
prison, in which he lies confined by such an
unrighteous decision. The ground taken by
Chiei Justice Black, who delivered the opin-
ion, was that the State Courts had no right
to interfere with the Federal Judiciary in
cases Of commitment for contempt. Jus.
tice Knox dissentsd from the opinion, and
expressed the belief that the Federal Cour.
by its action had transcribed its Jurisdiction
and that the State Tribunals were bound to
see the rights Of the citizen maintained
Williamson is practically confined for life by
this decision, and unless bis rights are in
some WY asserted and maintained, we may
all consider ourselves at the mercy Of tn,
"unjust judge"

APPLES AS AN ARTICLE OF FooD.-With
us the value of the apple as an article of food
is far moderated. Besides containing large
amount of sugar, muclage, and other nntri-
tious matter, apples contain vegetable acids,
aromatic. qualities. &C., which act powerful
ly in the capacity Of refringrants. tonics and
antiscpties and when freely used at the time
Of mellow ripeness, they prevent debility, in
digestion, and avert, without doubt, many
of the ills which flesh is heir to-" The
operators of Cornwall England, consider ripe
apples nearly as nourishing as bread, and far
more so than potatoes. In the year 1901
which was year Of much scarcity-applcs,
instead Of being converted into elder, were
sold to the poor; and the laborers asse, ted
that they could ''stand their work" on baked
apples without meat. whereas a potatoe diet
required meat or some other substantial nutr-
ment. The French and Germans use apples
extensively, as do the inhabitants of all
European nations. The laborers depend
upon them as an article of food, and frequent
tly make a dinner Of sliced apples and bread.
There is no fruit cooked in as many diieren-
ways. in our country, as apples nor is there
any fruit whose value, rs an article of nutri-
n,cnt, is as great and 50 little appreciated.

AMERICANS IN AusTRALIA.-Thc Paris cor
respondent of the New Orleans Picayiinc con-
tributes the following extract from private
letter written by an Englshman in Australia ::
"You, who have been so much in America,
will not be surprised when say that the A.
mcrcans are by far the best men in this ccun-
try. You know well their enterprise, but
even you will be astonished at the following
piece of statistical information. At Ballarat,
according to the census commission, the pop
nlation is % 900, Of whom only 30 are Amer
leans. In order to drain the water from the
deep sinkings. and also to wash the stun,
there are seven steam engines and machines;
of these four belonged and were worked sole
~ by Americans. All the great contracts are
taken by them; tho lines Of stages to and
from the 'digsings' that are accessible to
wheels, and few are not, are all Yankee; the
coaches either Troy or Albany built; the har-
ness and all from the same country. In
coming into the bay you will notice that all
the fine ships are American; the best of no
tells are theirs; in fact, they arc improving
our people out Of the place altogether"
