Ho,o 10 Keep Apples. es.--There are many
different methods recommended for the
preservation of winter apples, but in our
experience We have found none better
than to pack them carefully into clean
barrels, head them up carefully so as to
exclude all the light and all possible, and
store: them in a cool, dark, dry cellar.
The nearer the temperature ofsthe cellar
approaches the freezing point, the longer
and better the apples will keep. If the
Temperature should happen to fall a few
degrees below this point, apples well
headed up will suffer no injury, AS the
apple is justly considered the most valua-
bic f-uit of this country and is almost i,
necessity in the domestic economy of the
household, it is good plan to put up a
few barrels with special reference to next
summers use. For this purpose choose
the Late keeping varieties, such as Rox-
bury russets or Newtown pippins, and
select the best specimens After the bar
rels are carefully filled, shake down
among the apples enough gypsum (plas-
| teri 10 fill all the interstitial spaces This
keeps them well excluded from the air
and they will come out in fine order next
summer, being almost as fresh as when
picked from the tree.--Cor. Of the Hus

MYLUNACY.

The Confederate force of General Early
had gained the mastery in the Shenan-
,Ioah valley, and our demoralized battal-
IONS were falling back precipitately
through Winchester.
Sheridan dashed upon the scene, and
his presence, like a spell, checked the re-
treat, and infused new courage into the
disordered mass. Our battery reached a
knoll TO the left of the pike, and unlim-
bered in front of the timbered slope, on
the brow of which the COnfederates had
posted IA heavy battery. The infantry line
on our front was advancing splcndidly,
and saw the cleaning crest of
bayonets fall when the order
came for a charge on the double quick.

The integrity and economy Of the finan-
cial transactions of the government are
most remarkable. The whole of the re-
cent funding operations have been carried
on without the loss of dollar. and so
carefully conducted as not to disturb the
money market The cost of collecting the
internal revenue, for the past year, has
been little over three per cent. In the
Territories it has been a little above the
average; and in the States that rebelled
against the government it has been enor-
mously above, in Mississippi nearly "a
per cent, and in South Carolina, 33 pei
cent. In these States the collection of the
revenue is attended with difficulty and
great personal risk. Men are readily
found who are willing to encounter the
moonshiners in an open fight, or even
against an ambuscade, but the most adven-
tur0us hesitate to encounter the State au-
thorities, which discharge the offenders
and imprison the officers who arrest them
for violation of the law. This setting
State authority above the federal is part
of the rebellion which has not been sup
pressed, but which still 'fires the South
ern heart" to deeds of illegally and vio-
lence.

NOrdenskjOld's Discoveries.

The discoveries of Professor Nordensk-
froma geographical and commercial point of
view. The explorer in recent letter states
that the coast of Siberia west of the Lena
river is vast, treeless plain. There are no
islands to prevent the wind from driving the
ice foes down upon the shore, and the points
where rivers empty into the Polar ocean, and,
with their warmer currents maintaining open
spaces, are separated usually by enormous
distances. For several hundred miles in the
vicinity of the Lena, however, there are sew
eral great rivers, and chain Of islands acts
as barrier to the ice. Toward Behring's
strait the frozen foes crowd closer to the
shore, and are liable in the autumn and win
ter to bar the way to shipping. The most
important of Prof Nordenskjold's discoveries
from scientific standpoint is that of group

A writer i'm the Nineteenth Century re-
Gently called attention to the vast wheat
field lying unimproved in the Northwest.
This tract, known as the Red River coun-
try, is a fertile wilderness, embracing
some 200, 900 acres or prairie land, which
as yet has hardly been scratched by the
pillow Of the emigrant. Into this country,
we are told, settlers are pouring at rate
that exceeds anything the United States
have ever seen. The writer in the Nine
teenth century estimates that about 400
people arrive daily in Manitoba, all of
them from the East. In 1873 over 3 ,000,-
600 acres Of wheat land were taken up by
incoming settlers. AT the present rate of
emigration and the rapid reclamation of
this easily cultivated land, it is estimated
that within the next year 100000 acres
will be under wheat cultivation. And this
will probably be doubled within five years.

appeared natural and properly made; but by
