NEW YORK APPLES.

The apple crop in the valley of the
yield. Some choice fruit has been
gathered. The bulk of the crop has
been marketed at low rates. some fair
fruit selling as low as one dollar per
barrel, from that to So and $25 for
the highest, excepting extra Newtown
Pippins, which sold for SO. Many of
the growers have been sorting and
packing apples for export to foreign
ports, Liverpool being the leading
point, and then London, Glasgow, Bris-
tol, Edinburgh, Leeds, Paris and Havre
The Newtown Pippin is the variety
which established the reputation of
American apples in Europe. For some
years no other kind was sent abroad,
and great care was used in selecting
and packing the fruit, all imperfect
specimens being rejected. Then infe-
rior apples were shipped, and we were
in danger of losing our apple export
trade. In the abundant year of 1880,
however, we shipped one and half
million barrels of apples to foreign
ports In 1882 the amount was consid-
erably less. This year it is believed
that the total will be nearly 100000
barrels. The price obtained in the
past has ranged from So. so to even $40
per barrel, according to kind quality
and scarcity. Some of the choicest
fruit is now carefully packed, each ap-
pie being wrapped in tissue paper.
Newtowns, Baldwins and Spys are now
the leading sorts used. The cost
of sending, including all charges, is
about $3.50 per barrel. Many of the
growers ignore commission men by
shipping direct from their orchards.
Columbia, Greene, Dutchess and Ulster
are She leading river counties engaged
in this trade. Some fruit has cleared
as high as $6. The largest apple or
chard in the world is owned by Robt.
McKinstry, and situated in Columbia
County, near Hudson City. 1t con-
tains $4,000 trees.

a chest of jewels to Paris to be sold for

meanwhile a debtor came in unex-

Indebtedness, although the Khedive
had for long time mentally marked

FATHER KAEDER'S VIEWS,

The Rev. Father Sylvester Malone,
of Brooklyn, who was one of the most
prominent and active supporters of
Mr.. Blaine among the Roman Catholic
clergy, has received a letter from the
Rev. Father P. Maurice Kaeder, of
Crown Point, Ind, in which the latter,
after approving the political course
pursued by Father Malone, says
The Democratic party has no princi-
pies, or if it has they are destructive.
They would undo everything, though
in slow advances, that the Republican
party has done during the past twen-
ty-four years. Now, l do not want
State sovereignty-as formerly did
put above the sovereignty of the
United States. In fact, our National
progress demands that the United
States have more power. In many
things we want a uniform legislation
which we cannot have as long as State
sovereignty interferes. We do not
want a Solid South. For a Solid
South means the perpetuation of the
Rebellion. Should the Democrats get
into power it would be the South that
would rule, and this rule would ruin
the North. On the other hand, moth
ing would be more to the benefit of
the South than the predominance of
Republican principles within its con-
fines. The city of Augusta, Ga, where
have been myself, owes its general
prosperity to despised Northern
carpet-bagger Catholics ought to
form Republican organizations, not
temporary, but permanent ones, and
priests should be members of them.
Our people are more closely welded to
Democracy than is safe even for their
religion. I have told my people that
if they were Democrats they must be
SO for another reason than because
they are Catholics.
Many of our own people have secretly
voted the Republican ticket. Let me
tell you that three days before the
election several hundred thousand dol
lars came to Indiana for the Democrats,
which were distributed in every pre-
cinct; $500 coming to Crown Point,
$500 to Hammond, in this county.
With this corruption fund sufficient
votes were bought in every precinct to
carry the State for Cleveland. This is
a fact, and you can give it to the press
if you like.

A novel suicide was that of beauti-
full equestrienne at Bobrinsk in Russia.
Toward the close of an evenings per-
formance her turn came to ride round
the ring as usual. She did so, and
went throught with most of her daring
and difficult feats, but Immediately
after jumping through the last hoop
she fiourished a revolver, placed the
muzzle of it to her temple, and, while
her horse was in full career, fired and
dropped dead upon the sawdust. The
cause for the act was attributed to EN-
barrassments and reverses in love.

SECOND LARGEST SHIP AFLoAT.

Three fine ships are now lying in
New York harbor-The Henry B. Hyde,
1850 tons; the A. g. Ropes, 2,461 tons,
and the George Curtis, 1887. They
were all built at Bath, Me-, and will
be placed in the California trade be-
tween this point and San Francisco.
The Henry B. Hyde is the largest. She
arrived here from Bath in ballast last
Monday. With the exception of the
Three Brothers she is the largest sail
ing ship af1oat. Her dimensions are as
follows: Length over all, 292 feet;
length on keel, 26O feet; beam As feet;
depth of hold, 80 feet; gross tonnage,
:, $50 tons; net, 2, 462; loading capacity,
about 1000 tons. In appearance she
Is beautiful specimen of marine archi-
lecture and carries one back to the
days before steam stole the poetry from
the sea and made sailors coal-heavers.
Her bow rises from the water and
springs forward with a graceful sweepas
if eager to dash aside the foam, and
her graceful run falls gently into the
water with lines of beauty and
strength. Her spars are tall and
shapely, light and strong and from her
keel to where the golden ball shines on
her maintruck, $50 feet above the
| deck, there is nothing left to desire.
She is built of white oak and is iron
strapped. The sweep of her decks,
sinking gradually from the stern and
then rising again with bold sheer to
the bows, is as beautiful as heart could
wish. The expanse from the break of
the poop to the to- gallant forecastle
is broken by the forehouse, in which
are the forecastle, galley, carpenter
shop, lamp room, store rooms, boys
forecastle, ETC. The cabin is hand
somely fitted up and has a number of
beautiful staterooms for passengers
The ship carries captain, first second
and third mate, boatswain, carpenter,
steward, cook, twenty sailors and four
| boys She is commanded by Captain
Phineas Pendleton and owned by

THE MODERN ANECDOTE RE-

You remember that fellow who
wrote, what's it's name? You know,
he made some money on one of the
Western roads; forget what they call
it,
"Well; what of it?''
"Why, not long ago he was in,
what's that town in Wisconsin? You
know"
Don't mind the name of the town;
what did he do?"
''What the deuce is the name of that
town? A big politician came from
there. You know him. Well, this fell
low
"What fellow?"
Il can't think of his name. It's
good joke and l nearly died when l
heard it. He'd come up from the big
plantation in Louisiana, kept by-by;
who's that big banker in st. Louis?
The man who built a line of steamboats,
from Keokuk to-to-I'll think of the
name in minute-the town at the
mouth of-you know that river in Ar
kansas. Anyway he'd come up on the
that road that runs at the west bank
of the Mississippi from the place op-
posite Cairo, consolidated with the
Cairo and Fulton road-whats the
name of that line?'
Don't know Never was in that
country. What did your man do that
was so funny?n
"Why, he'd come up from that plan
tation on this line to the town in Wis
consin, and struck for he-the-that
hotel on the corner of jefferson and
that other street-named after a
Frenchman. Strange can't remem-
Der it. Don't you know the house?"
"Never heard of it. Don't know
anything about it. Go on with your
story"
''Well, he got there and perpetrated
the best pun you ever heard on the
landlords name. The landlord got off
a pretty good thing on this mans
name, but 1 can't remember what it
was. Anyhow, this man asked the
landlord: Why are you like an insur-
ance company?' he named the conf
pany, but I've forgotten what it was
Why are you like this insurance
company" Give it up?"
YES give it up"
'Well, sir, the answer is the funniest
oil
up when I heard it,
What is it?''
''Why, if I could remember the
name of the landlord, I'd know in a
moment. Who's that fellow who in
vented the-pshaw! that machine for
making-what're they called? You
understand, something about stair
rods"
''Never heard of him."
Its the same name except the last
syllable. Funny don't catch it,"
''Is that all of your story?'
"Why, yes. You see if l could re-
member my mans name and the insur-
ance company and the landlords
name, I'd bust you right open with
the best thing you ever listened to.
By the way, we had a little party at
our house last night, and the queerest
thing is that l didn't know I'd forgot
ten to invite you until my wife asked
why you wasn't there. Good one on
you, wasn't it? l said to-that fellow
I loaned $25 to on your guarantee,
what's his name; fat fellow? Never
paid it, and wish you could let me
have the money"
Don't remember the name; don't
recollect the circumstance, and didn't
know you had wife. I'd heard you
would have party, but couldn't re
member the number of your house. l
should have forgotten to come if you'd
invited me-" and the bored man de-
parted in dudgeon.
