MONTGOMERY County AGRICULTURAL
FAIR.-Thursday last was an unusually
lively day in Rockville. The weather
was highly favorable to the Exhibition,
at which there was greater number of
visitors than upon any previous occasion,
all of whom must have been pleased with
the display generally, but especially with
the evidences of industry, skill, and
taste, furnished by the Ladies' Depart
ment.
Hon. ANDREW STEVENSON, of Virginia,
delivered most excellent address, which
we shall publish, with the proceedings
generally, as soon as they are handed in
for that purpose.
A fine Band of Music enlivened the
intervals with airs appropriate to the oc-
casion.

II has been alleged by presses and indiyidu-
ale, who are inimical to the American party
and to the american Organ, in particular,
that the editorial course which we marked out
ia last Mondays issue, upon our return to the
editorial chair, is inconsistent with that hereto
fore pursued by our senior editor, whilst con-
trolling the columns Of the Organ, and that II
was influenced by considerations connected
with our application for the printing of Con.
gress. The senior editor left the Organ on the
9th Of July last, on account Of illness, which
rendered him unable to undergo the labors Of
his position, and he returned to it last Monday.
II seemed to him that there was an obvious
propriety on his return to the organ, in re.
announcing the principles on which il would
be conducted.
Thrce-fourths Of the present members Of
Congress were new members, very few Of
whom had ever seen our paper. Other reasons
had their influence But those who have de.
sired from its first establishment to break down
the Organ, and others governed, we would
hope by far better motives, took the occasion
to represent us as having adopteda new line Of
policy, and Of advancing opinions at variance

APPLES AS AN ARTICLE OF FooD.-with us the
value Of the apple is far moderated. Besides CON
tanning large amount Of sugar, mucilage and other
nutritious matter, apples contain vegetable acids,
aromatic qualities, &C.. which act powerfully in
the capacity Of refringrants, tonics and antisep-
tics and when freely used at the season of msIow
ripeness, they prevent debility, indigestion, and
avert, without doubt Iany of the Ills which flesh
is heir TO-" The operators Of Cornwall, England,
consider ripe apples nearly nourshing as bread,
and far more so than potatoes. In the year 1901,
which was year OF much scarcity, apples, instead
FLEEING converted into cider were sold 10 the poor
and the laborers asserted that they could " stand
their work" on apples without meat, whereas a
potato diet required meat or some other substan-
tial nutriment. The French and Germans use APP
Piles extensively, as do the inhabitants Of all Flu.
ropean nations. The laborers depend upon them
as article Of food, and frequently make dinner
Of sliced apples and bread. There is no fruit cook
ed in as many different ways, in our country, as
apples; nor is there any fruit whose value, as an
article Of nutrment Is great and so little appre-
ciated.

Banking house Of s. O. Hastings, of this city, the
Alta says:
The case Of forgery mentioned this morning was
committed on the banking house of Palmer, Cook
Co., in the name Of s. @. Hastings There were
three checks forged, one of whi;h, for $500, was
cashed by G. X. Garrison and the other two, for
$500 and $3.50, paid At the counter OF the bank.
The forgery was well executed, and but few men
could distinguish the spurious checks from the
genuine. 1t Is probable that the author OF the for
gerry will be detected
Another check Of 900 is known to be in the pos
session of some person in the community Messrs.
Smiley, Yerkes 4 Co., cashed the check for $3.50.
The forger is supposed to be man named Case,

Yesterday Miss or Mrs. Eliza Harris COM
planned before the Mayor Of Entertainment, jealousy,
&C., towards her on the part Of one Andrew Meyer.
From the testimony it appeared that herself and
Meyer had migrated to the State together, and had
for the last two three years sustained the rela
ton of husband and wife-Meyer, according to her
statement, and her knowledge all the time, having
a wife and children in New York. Some three
months ago the complainant became enam0red
with French gentleman, and the liking being re-
ciprocated they got married. Meyer did not feel
particularly pleasant about the matter, and, meet
ing the complainant in the street, accused her of
putting airs" ETC., and finally intimated that
dirks, revolyers, and other like instruments must
settle their difficulty. The Mayor put Meyer under
bonds Of 5000 to keep the peace"

The Memphis Weekly Appeal a most rabid anti
American sheet speaking Of the result of the re-
cent election in California says There is in that
State some apology for Native American party.
BY the admission Of the State every inhsbitant
was recognised as a citizen, and thousands have
since focked there from all parts of the world,
whose habit and conduct have rendered them OBJ.
noxious to the native citizens It is to these facts
we must look for the reasons Of our defeat. The
Democracy made good race, but they were UNI
able TO succeed with such load of Chinese, Next
cans, and South Americans.
The Appeal frankly admits, that in California
there Is some apology for an American party.
There native Americans can see the ignorance,
crime, and debaucbery which everywhere attend

TELEGRAPHISG ON LONG CrRcuIr-The feat of
telegraphing direct, in single circuit between
New York and New 0rleans, was witnessed last
evening, says the New York News of yesterday,
at the Office Of the New York, Washington, and
New Orleans line, Mr. Cure, of New York, and
Mr. Bardavin, of New Orleans, officiating as opera
tors. This was effected by the aid. of six repeaters
very simple arrangement, by which the aid Of
way batteries at intervals Of several hundred miles,
is secured. Teegraphing, in very long circuits by
the Morse system is, practically, day after day,
quite impossible; but il is believed by those COM
petent to form correct Judgment in such matters,
that the newly invented and wonderful machine of
Mr.. Hughes will render 1t easy to telegraph, at all
times when the wires are not actually parted, in
circuits Of even five thousand miles. We under
stand that several Of the, Hughes machines are
nearly completed, and that they have been secured
by company, who propose to open new line to
the South in the course Of a few weeks--the most
ample arrangements for this purpose having been
already completed.
