THE HICKMAN APPLE.

Mr. ID. w. Dickinson informs us that
for twenty years he has been lectirgse

Mr.. d. has already had applications
from a number of fruit growers in

came to me at the Pan-American Ex-
position specimens of new seeding,

they were very hard and far from ma

the apples he gave me the principal
points regarding the variety.

PLANTED MONEY.

The redemption experts of the Treas

other day, which shows ignorance and
too trustful faith may sometimes
prove costly Several packages of dirt
were received at the department. ac-
companied by a letter saying that
mixed up with the earth were the re-
mains of 500 IN greenbacks. Some
poor fool thought that money would
grow and multiply if planted in pot
of earth. He tried the experiment by
cutting up into minute PARTICLES several
greenbacks aggregating in value about
500. The pot full of eartn was watered
and cared for regularly until the atten-
ton of a sane person was attracted 60
the fruitless proceedings. The experts
OF the redemption division searched
faithfully through the packages of dirt
and found several pieces of paper
money. Not enough was obtained,
however, TO warrant the redemption of
500 worth.

avenue when Gen. Hooker approached
from the opposite direction. The gen

1t so transpired that the Representative
from Mississippi had Just purchased a
new pair of gloves. Being very quick
to take ia a situation. the General saw
that the strange and distinguished look
ing man had lost his right arm The
General was carrying his useless left
glove in his hand. habit by the way,
which he has had from the time he
gave up his LEFT arm for his country
Quick as flash Gen. Hooker walked
up TO Major Ransdell and introduced
himself. They shook hands cordially
the one an rfficer OF the Southern army
aud the other an officer of the Union
army. The Southern gentleman said a
few pleasant things which he always
has on top,) and then gracefully offered
his ''other glove TO Marshal Ransdell
He Just as gracefully took it. and the
incident sealed strong and lasting
friendship. Since then these two vet
Grams of cruel war who fought on op
posite sides have by mutual agreement
exchanged gloves, and whenever one
buys a new pair he SENDS the ''other
one" to his friend with the other arm.

perilous policies of Imperialism aud

ominous and unAmerican policies will
