apple crop in Normandy fails, as it
will do this year, this celebrated
drink is manufactured out ofthe dried
apples brought from America, which
dried apples also enter largely into the
composition of the cheaper French
wines which are prepared for expor-
tation to the United States. Few of
our claret drinkers at home are aware
of the fact that the nice light Medoc

tables is q decoctiOn Of the dried APP
Piles of their native land. Yet, so ex-
tensive has the use of that fruit be-
come among the wine merchants, or
rather wine makers, Of France, that it
now pays duty, not as an article OF
food, but as an manufactured pro-
duet merely. The lower grades of
Spanish wines also enter into the com-
position of French clarets-a fact
which is borne in upon ones mind by
the aspect of the rows upon rows Of
wine barrels from Spain that stretch
along the wharves at Havre as far as
the eye can reach. Why does not

make table claret out OF rough new
California wines and dried apples, and

A Girl I'm Demand.

New York Herald.I
The girl after whom any number Of
marrying men are looking has been
discovered again. In other days she
has written a book, or developed a
phenomenal voice, or shot a number
Of dollars worth of wild animals, or
done something else hat secured local
fame and considerable money. This
time she has planted, cultivated, har-
vested and sold $50 bushels Of wheat.
1t is needless to say that a number Of
young fellows are wildly in love with
that girl, and that the list Of suitors
will rapidly increase as the record
of her achievement makes the
rounds Of the press. A great deal
is said about women who marry
merely for the sake Of being
supported, but they are no more num-
erous than men who long for wives who
will do work enough to supply Their
husbands with bread and butter, cigars
and drinks. There are men in New
York who would borrow their last
friends last dollar rather than do q
days work in a wheat field, yet who
would willingly endow the Indiana
girl with half their worldly debts, and
do it with the best plain gold ring that
could be bought on credit. They
would also, as soon as the wheat was
harvested, find business calling them
to New York and keeping them there
as long as the money lasted, or an ad-
vance could be secured on the next
crop.

Cool Treatment Of Mr.. FIRES
Naeging.

Boston Herald
The more influential southern papers
take a very temperate view of Senator
Frye's Incorporate speech. The Char
lesion News and Courier sensibly re-
marks that the only way in which the
senator's OutbuTst can do any real
harm is in arousing similar outbursts
against the northern people," 1t
thinks that Mr.. Frye can be safely
left to the judgment of the north"
Our contemporary cOOlly observes that
the southern states are not, as one
might suppose who knew nothing Of
them except what he learned from the
speech OF the Maine senator, a com
pound of Dahomey, Bulgaria and
Asiatic Turkey" The fact is that,
in the southern states. population in
ereases rapidly, the cotton crop of the
year is the largest ever known, white
people and colored people are improv-
ing their condition, mines are being
opened, railroads are building, new
factories are s%priDging up on all sides,
and the southern whites are striving
hard TO improve the moral and indus
trial condition Of the whole popula-
ton" Such facts as these do indeed
"blunt the point of Mr.. Frye's IN
vectives." So lar from succeeding, as
his pred ecessor in a measure did, in
reviving the animOsities of the war
time by his bloody shirt harangue,
Senator Frye has failed to excite any
interest save in the one point Of fair
elections. The old sectional gong no
longer arouses the voters. They are
weary Of the din. They see that the
southern people, under great provo
cations and hardships, are making
steady, and, under all circumstances,
remarkable progress in right direc-
tons. Violence in politics has ceased.
federation is established. Education
is advancing. Colored laborers make
less complaint than do white laborers
at the north. In nearly every state
Independent movements are splitting
up the old partisan solidity, afording
natural and permanent guarantees Of
fairness and freedom in elections. The
national spirit once more animates the
southern people. The north recog-
ulzes and responds 10 these facts, Mr..
Frye and his narrow school TO the
contrary Notwithstanding.

FEAR 10
Railroad Building Unlikely to
Wreck the Money Market.
N. Y. Commercial Advcrtiser.l

N. 7. Commercial Advortiser.l
All sensible men having come to
the conclusion hat there is no imme.
date fear that the country is going to
the dogs at the present time through
wild speculation, some timid souls
have been casting about for something
else to brighten themselves with, and
have decided that railroad building is
certain to wreck this fair republic.
They point to the fact that the pres
ent season is certain to witness an ex-
traordinary revival Of railroad build
ing, and they turn with a shiver to
the days of lS7l-73 to show what the
country was brought TO in September
Of the latter year by our insensate
mania to build railroads. 1t is
true that the railroads that were
built everywhere materially helped to
accelerate the panic. Between 1870
and 1874 something over 1900 miles
Of road were built in this country; but
the six years that have interviewed
have not brought the aggregate mum
Der up to that. In an interview in
Texas the other day, General Grant
said in a short time it was likely that
fifty thousand laborers would be at
work in this country on the rail-
roads. Already complaints have
come from the west and southwest
that labor is hard to obtain, aud that
prices are advancing all the time.
There can be no doubt about il; the
present season will witness a great in
crease in the railroad building. But
is there danger in it? A burned Guild
breads the fire, and a man who will
rush into the same danger twice is a
fool. AS a general thing the Ameri-
can capitalist is not a fool. lie may
be Stuck bad" once, but the
next time he carefully takes his bear
ings before he jumps. If he jumps
this year, he will know where he is
going to land. There is no compari-
son to be made between the condition
Of the country in 1S70-76 and l879-8l.
Since January J, 1879, we have been
growing in wealth and increasing in
prosperity in a manner never before
witnessed. There is no danger that
we shall get on the rocks in a hurry,
and the persons who are alarming
themselves over the thought that we
shall get into trouble by building too
many railroads may calm themselves.
Though the railroads that were being
built ten years ago helped to bring
trouble to the country, they have
also brought their blessings. Where
there were w%ildernesses ten years ago,
to-day there are smiling villages; for
one man who may have been crippled
by them, thousands have been made
prosperous; new country has been
opened, labor has found employment
and grain has been cheapened. For
ten years past railroad freight rates
have been steadily going down and the
railroads have contributed more than
anything else to the glory and wealth
and importance Of the country. They
have made the country what it is, and
there is no danger to it in them. We
are now enjoying a season of tho great
est prosperity, and the railroad system
Of the country will contribute to all
its greatness.

faith cure" has reached this place,
and many of the best citizens of the
county are ready to testify to its efica-
CIV, at least upon the person who has
been so miraculously cured of a dis
ease which seemed to be wasting him
away. The person referred to is JAS.
w. Powell, a son-in-law of Hon. John
d. Young, ex. member of congress
IRON this district. A year or more
ago Nj. Powell was stricken down
with typhoid fever of the most malig-
nant type. For months the chances
seemed against him, but at last he
began to convalesce very slowly, and
in a measure regained his health. He
secured a position OF travelling sales
man for a Cincinnati house, only,
however, to be compelled to give it
up, as he was seized with a relapse
For a long time his lite was despaired
of, but again he began convalescing
very slowly, and on Friday, the day OF
his wonderful change, was scarcely
able to get around the house with the
aid of a cane. During the Barnes
meeting at Richmond he had written
to his brother in law, j. Roe Young, a
merchant OF that place, TO see Bro.
Barnes, tell him of his case, aud ask
him to pray for him and for his recoy-
cry. This Mr.. Young did, and Bro.
Barnes began praying for him. % last
evening, as Powell was sitting
on the stile in front Of his father
in law house, he fell over on his face
aud prayed fervently to God for res
toration to health, and, it seems,
prayed with that faith which is requi-
site aud removes mountains, for he at
once arose, feeling as we'll as he ever
did in his life. He climbed the fence,
across the field toarother fence,
wei the stiles as had been his
wont, when in the prime of health,
and went to the lower end OF the pas
ture, and then across it to see a mare
and colt. He then returned to the
house, aud his wife seeing a wonderful
change in bis looks, said: why, papa,
look at Mr. Powell-how well be looks.
Did you ever see such a change"
This was the first iBtimation Judge
had of the change. lie looked
and was startled. Then Mr.. Powell
