ceremonies, and for the barbecue dinner

erected. The ceremonies began about half
past two o'clock. After music by the excel

the select choir rendered the anthem,
America )" after which Mayor McGill
delivered most appropriate address OF
welcome and congratulation. Gen. Martin,
President Of the new railroad, followed.
Always a forcibe speaker, he was specially
felicitious on this occasion, and his remarks
were frequently applauded. Before him
was large bowl, and TO the right and left
large silver pitchers, containing waters of
the Mississippi and Pearl rivers. These lie
poured into the bowl simultaneously, ex-
pressing the hope that the day was not far
distant when in the city Of Columbus a
similar ceremony would be performed, and
the waters of the Mississippi, the Pearl,
the Tombigbee and the Tennessee mingled
together.

The programme published 10 lastissne for
the celebration Of the completion Of the
N.J.& &C. Railroad to this city, and for The
laying of the corner stone Of the new
Methodist church, was carried out in all its
details, and the whole affair was crafty
ing and grand success. There must have
been at least four thousand people in Jack
son on Thursday last, IN addition to its reg
ular population. Between one and two
o'clock two trains arrived from Natehez,
and they were enthusiastically cheered by
the assembled thousands. The well served
artillery also made loud proclamation Of the
fact that the first trains had arrived from
the Bluff City. A procession was then
formed, and this included three large
wagons in which were seated about fifty
little girls dressed in white and bearing
banners, representing the States and Terri
tories, and the cities of Natchez and Jack
son, and towns of Raymond and Fayette.
The excursion train from Vicksburg, and
also one from the East, added nearly q
thousand persons to the crowd.

Apples as Food.

From the earliest ages apples have
been in use for the table rs a desert.
The historian Piiny tells us that the
Romans cultivated twenty-five varieties
of the apple. In these latter days we
probably possess over 1900. As an
article OF food they rank with the po
tato, and ON account of the variety OF
ways in which they may be served. they
are far preferable to the taste of many
persons; and if families would only
substitute ripe, luscious apples for pies,
cakes. candies and preserved fruit, there
would be much less sickness among the
children, and the saving of this one item
alone would purchase many barrels OF
apples.
They have one excellent effect upon
the whole physical system, feeding the
brain as well as adding to the flesh, and
keeping the blood pure: also preventing
constipation and correcting a tendency
to acidity, which produces rheumatism
and neuralgia. They will cool off the
feverish condition of the system; in fact.
they are far better for these purposes
than the many nostrums which are
highly praised in the advertisements,
and are so constantly purchased by suf-
ferers. A ripe raw apple is digested in
an hour and a half, while boiled POI
tato takes twice the time.
While apples can be purchased at
cheap rates. every family should keep a
dish of them in the dining-r room. where
the children can have access to and eat
all they please of them. They will rare
ly receive any injury from them if they
are thoroughly masticated Baked
apples should be as constant dish upon
the table as potatoes. Every breakfast
and tea table should have plate of
them. Baked sweet apples are very
pleasant addition to a saucer of oatmeal
pudding. and, when served with sweet
cream, they are very appetizing-
They are not SO commonly used rs
taey should be. as they will supply as
much muscular and nervous support as
dishes of meat and vegetables Thou
sands of bushels of sour apples are used
for pies and buildings in hundreds OF
families where weIl-baked sweet apples
would prove more nourshing food and
much more economical. They are also
good food for old people, and are usually
greatly relished by them In my own
family they are always, when in season,
a part of the meals of the day. and are
as commonly used as slice of bread. =

Human Hair.

Not less than ninety per cent, of the
women and five per cent. Of the men
ofthis country wear more or less false
hair. The enormous consum ption o.
the artificial and natural product sug-
gests the fact, fearful but true, that nine
women out of every ten about the
street, in the church or in the cars,
charming or ugly TO line, have on
wig or q wefc, bandeau or a prepared
net, bangs or waves, arranged at the
hairdresser's. Some people think that
blonde never grows grey. headed.
The fact is, one third Of white shreds
may be mingled with such hair, and
few would notice it. The same pro
portion of blond headed people turn
gray as those with any other colored
hair. The proportion of people who
dye their hair is also surprising. Some
twenty per cent. are said to do this.
OF course the greater proportion OF
these people are whitehaired people.
