Healthfulness Of Apples.

There is scarcely an article of vegetable
food more widely useful and universally y
liked than the apple. Let every house
keeper lay in good supply of apples, aud
it will be the most economical investment
in the whole range of culinaries. A raw,
mellow apple is digested in an hour and a
half, while boiled cabbage requires five
hours. The most healthful desert that can
be placed on the table is baked apple If
eaten frequently at breakfast, with coarse
bread and butter, without flesh of any
kind, it has an admirable effect OH the gen
eral system, often removing consti patton,
correcting acidities, and cooling off febrile
conditions more effectualy than the most
approved medicines. If families could be
induced to substitute apples-sound and
ripe-for pies, cakes and sweetmeats, with
which their children are too frequently
stuffed, there would be diminution in the
sum total of doctors bill in single year
sufficient to lay in a stock of this delicious
fruit for the whole seasons use.

Z True Woman.

Beauty and style are not the surest pass
ports to respectability-some OF the noblest
specimens of womanhood that the world
has ever seen have presented the plainest
and most unprepossessing appearances. A
woman's worth is to be estimated by the
real goodness of her heart, the greatness
OF her soul, and the purity and sweetness of
her character; and woman with kindly
disposition, and we'll balanced mind and
temper, is lovely and attractive, be her
face ever so plain and her figure ever SO
homely; she makes the best of wives, and
the trnest of mothers. She has a higher
purpose in living than the beautiful yet
vain and supercilious woman, who has no
higher ambition than to flaunt her finery in
the streets, or to gratify her inordinate
pride by exacting fiattery and praise from a
society whose compliments are as hollow
as they are insincele

Rising in the World.

IL was toward the middle of the last
century that u little ragged boy, named
Saunders, made his appearance at the door
of an attorney's Office in Clements Inn,
London. He was cast upon the world IN
absolute want; he knew nothing ofparents;
he had not friend; and he knew OF no
root beneath which ne had a right to lay
his head or obtain a crust to eat and eS<s
er in r,turn.
The attorney found him very bright and
prompt, and employed him. The boy
proved faithful and earnest in the discharges
of such business as was given him to dc.
Bv-and-by the boy, when he had been ad-
mitted to sleep in the office, expressed de-
sire to learn to write. The attorney rugged
him a low desk in far corner, and set him
copies also assisted him at times by per-
sonal instruction. The boy developed
bold, clear and beautiful hand and by the
time he was fifteen he had become a correct
and rapid writer.
He was now transferred to the inner
office and set at the work of writing impor-
tant legal papers. This gave him an in
sight into, and a taste for legal lore. He
studed-studied so hard, to such good
purpose, that in time he came to afford his
employer sound and valuable counsel in
important matters. His diligence was un.
tring, and his faithfulness unswerving, and
his ambition unchecked. He worked his
way up to the bar, and became one Of the
most eminent and effective practitioners OF
his time.
The man whose entrance into the strug.
gle of life had been from so low and un.
p, omising station, by the proper use of
the fortunate qualities inherited, became.
upon the death of Penberton, Lord Chief
Justice of England.

the superb House heretofore so favorably known as

PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANrS.

The Democratic ranks are begin
ming to be somewhat agitated over
the question of presidential candi
date who shall lead the hosts of the
party in the campaign of 1876. Among
the most prominent candidates for the
nomination are Senator Thurman, of
Ohio, and Governor Hendricks, of
Indiana. Between the friends of these
leading asplrauts for presidential hon
ors there is destined to be lively time.
Hendricks is the most popular of the
two with the people, while Thurman
Is far the sounder aud ADLER man The
position, these men take on the 6nan-
cial question are by no means the same
Hendricks favoring expansion and
Thurman the opposite.
At the recent assembling Of the
Indiana State Convention Hendricks
took occasion to ventilate his views on
the questions agitating the country
and swore eternal allegiance to the
regular old fashioned democratic party
which he claimed can never die. He
talked very loosely Oh the finances,
favorlng return to specie payments
and at the same time insisting that the
national bank notes shall be Withdrawn
and more legal notes issued in their
stead. This latter proposition means
nothing more or less than expansion,
for if the currency ;.foat in the coun-
try was government paper, specie pay
ment never could be resumed. He
made strong bid for the German vote
by favoring beer as a beverage, claim
ing for it an Misunderstanding character.
But whisky drinking did not meet
with favor from him, and when he
gets into power the whisky men must
succumb to the beer drinkers. This
bid for the presidency from Hendricks
will not have tendency to exalt him
yer materially in the estimation of the
country. He is not fit material for
the candidate Of a party for the Office
of President

CONGRESS SIONAE.

La all portions of the district the
opinion prevails that in Hon. L. B.
Caswell of Fort Atkinson, the Re-
publicans would have candidate who
could command more strength at the
polls than any other man that can be
nominated, and if elected to a seat in
Congress, representative with whom
hepeople ofthe district might we'll feel
their interests to be perfectly safe and
secure. We feel sanguine that Mr..
Caswell would at once take front rank
with the most useful and able members
of the House of Representatives, and
through him the we'll known influence
Of the Second District in the halls of
Congress would be firmly maintained.
We think::when the Convention comes
together personal considerations will
be thrown aside, and the necessity of
presenting the strongest man to the
people for member of Congress will be
the prevailing idea with the delegates.
Taking this view of the case we see
nothing in the way of Mr.. Caswells
nomination by an almost unanimous
vote, for the convention will no. be
unmindful of the necessity at this
Juncture to place before the people the
strongest possible candidate.

REPUBLICAN ADDRESS.

The Republican Congressional Com
mittee have issued an admirable address
to the country, in which they set forth
the past services Of the Republican
party to the nation and what is left
for it to accomplish in the future.
The, splendid record made by the Re-
publican party since its advent into
power is not likely to remain unappre-
eiated by the people. The great diff
frrenca between the Republican and
Democratic parties is this The Dem
oeratic party wish to ignore their past
record, relying for present success on
promises for the future, while the Re-
publican party can point to their past
record with pride, and are willing to
have their future actions Judged by
their former services to the country.
knowing that the people require no
better guarantee for wise government.
The Republican address is attribut.
ed to the pen of Hon. t. 0. Howe,
cur worthy United States Senator.
