not, then there is a very large amount of

IIEALTHINEss OF AppLEs.-Ihere is scarce
ly an article of vegetable food more widely
useful and more universally liked than the
apple. Why every farmer in the nation
has not got an apple orchard, where the
trees will grow at all, is one of the mysteries
Let every housekeeper lay in good supply
of apples, and it will be the most economi'
cal investment in the whole range of culinar'
les. a raw mellow apple is dgested in an
hour and half, while boiled cabbage re-
qures five hours. The most healthy desert
that can he placed on table is baked
apple. IF eaten freely at breakfast, with
coarse bread and butter without meat or
flesh of any kind, it has admirable effect on
the general system, often removing constipa
ton, correcting acdiles, and cooling of
febrile condentions more effectually than
the most approved medicines. If families
could be induced to substitute apples-sound
and ripe-for the pies, cakes and sweetmeats
with WHICH their children are too indiscreetly
stuffed, there would be diminution in the
sum total of doctors bills, in single year,
sufficient to lay in a stock of this delicious
fruit for whole seasons use.
WoN'r Do.-The Colusa Sun, in its argu-
ment against President Lincoln's suggestion
that everybody become bondholders, says:
"There are hundreds of thousands of men
who are too poor to hold any of these bonds,
and the extra tax consequent upon the ex
emption of these bonds from taxation would
work great hardship and injustice to this
class"
If they are too poor to buy $50 or 500
bond, we think that taxes on their property
would not be oppressive. -OrouiUe Record
Taxes on their property may not be op'
pressive says the Marysville Express, but
taxes on what they eat, drink and wear may
be oppressive. Will the poor ever compre-
bend this?

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.-1he words of
the English language are a compound of
styeraI foreign languages. The English Ian
cuage may be looked upon asa complication,
both in words and expressions, of various
dialects. Their origin is from the Saxon
language. Our laws were derived from the
Norman, our military terms from the French,
our scientific names from the Greek, and our
stock of nouns from the Latin, through the
medium Of the French. Almost all the
verbs in the English language are taken
from the German, and nearly every noun or
adjective is taken from other dialects. The
Engish language is composed of 1908
words, of which 6,732 are from the Latin,
4,3l2 from the French, 1865 from the Sax
on, 1860 from the Greek, 691 from the
Dutch, oil from the Italian, l06 from the
German (not including verbs), 90 from the
Wech, IS from the Danish, Sc from the
Spanish so from the Icelandic, 81 from the
Swedish, 81 from the Gothic, l6 from the
Hebrew, Is from the Teutonic, and the rel
mainder from the Arabic, Syriac, Turkish,
Portuguese, Irish, Scotch aud other Lam
Guages.

GENERAL sHRRMAN's TRIP FROM GOLDsBORO
TO MoRBHEAD orTY.
NEwBRRN, O., March 25-A. M.-Since
writing you from Goldsboro this morning
l have come through from the front to
this place on the same train with General
Sherman
He is looking in splendid condition, aud,
as he is sitting now at the table, an eager
crowd gathers about the door to get
glimpse at him. He is surrounded by
Gems. Hugh Ewing, Innis N. Palmer, and
other officers, and is talking all the while
to some of them, being apparently in the
very best humor, although nervous and
restless all the while. A band of music
serenaded him; but, unfortunately, it was
impossible to draw a speech out of him.
He took cigar after tea, and went di-
rectly to the cars, requesting COL Wright,
the manager of the road, to make up for
lost time.
He did, however, make few remarks
to crowd of soldiers who swarmed around
him on bis arrival here. As he started
down the street the soldiers rushed around
him as though they were going to tear him
to pieces, all the while exclaiming, "Here
he is;" "There he goes, E" and calling on
him for speech. He said few words,
to the effect that he was proud of them all,
and then got out of the way. There is no
ostentation about him whatever, either in
dress, manners or disposition. At the same
time he impresses one with. the idea that
his mind is all alive with thought and
activity. Coming down on the cars he
was communicative and pleasant to every
body.
On the way down we met train going
up with . load of commissary stores.
"Ah! that's what like to see" said he;
"thats good for the boys stomachs;" $"
and afterwards he remarked, on seeing
mail on the train, "that that was good for
the boys minds as we'll as stomachs." -5
If a private soldier came up civilly and
offered to shake hands with him, he never
denied him the privilege He said he was
"going up to see Grant for five minutes,
and have it all chalked out for him, and
then be would come back and pitch in
again. He only wanted to see him five
minutes, he said, "and wouldn't be gone
but two or three days" Everything he
said and did indicated bis restless energy.
To his quarte-master he merely passed
two or three words, such as "Shove the
stores through The same brevity and
nervousness characterized all his messages
and communication with everybody.

SUDDEN CHANGE OF TIE WEATHER
With a good appetite, vigorous digestion
and sound liver, it is possible to brave con-
stant exposure and to encounter the present
climatic changes. But the strongest bodily
health and most vigorous constitution will
soon decline under such depressing influences
unless fortified against the ertra pressure. How
then can the appetite be preserved, the diges-
tive organs kept in good condition, and the
regularity of the bowels maintained? The
secret is, use the Red Jacket Stomach Bitters
which produce the desired result in the most
agreeable manner '.T.'.s.
