Jonathan Chapman better known as "Johnny Appleseed," was born in Boston about the year 1775. He early drifted to West ern Pennsylvania, where in its wild frontier life his mania for planting applesecds was first dis covered. Tired of the rapid set tlement of that wilderness, he soon pushed out for the west. Jn 1801 hi visited Ohio with a horse-load of applesecds which he had gath ered from the cider presses of western Pennsylvania. He plant ed his seeds on the fertile spots of the banks of Licking creek. In 180C he was seen by a settler drift ing down the Ohio river in two canoes lashed together, and loaded with appleseeds, destined for the western border of the white settle ment. He often planted as high as a bushel of seed in one place, then inclosed the spot with a slight fence or guard of brush, when he would leave the place after the trees had in a measure grown. Planting one stock of seeds he re turned to Pennsylvania for anoth er, which he gathered from the ci der presses in different places. He first carried the seeds in linen bags, but the dense underbrush, hostile with thorns and briars, made leather bags the only safe ones for his purpose. Sometimes the bags found transportation on the back of an old brokendown horse, but more often on his own sturdy shoulders. He was a man of vigorous muscle and great en durance, or he could not have stood the long, weary journeys through the lonely and trackless wilderness for so many years, journeys in which he was loaded like a mule ascending the Andes. He always planted his seeds in some remote picturesque spot, and there let them grow to be claimed by the settlers, whose homes sprung up in the isolated clearings. Jnthis way the wilderness was made "to blossom as the rose, and the foundation was laid for that immense growth of fruit trees whose yield to-day forms so im portant a part of the annual pro ducts of the state of Ohio. "When the trees were large enough for sale, Johnny either sold them or left them to be sold by some settler for him. .In this business he was methodical as a merchant. The really poor got trees for nothing, of others more able he took old clothing, some meal or other thing he could use, of those able to pay he demanded money, which he was seldom with out. He usely took notes payable at some indefinite period. This done he paid no more attention to the matter, quite often it was the last he ever saw of the giver of the note. His wants were few, and he cared little about money. He used what money he got in buying Swedenborgian books which he gave to the settlers where he stayed, and he very often helped poor families in need of the neces saries of life. An old infirm horse excited his pity. Buying old broken down horses and leaving them in charge of some one who was pledged to care for them, was an other part of this strange man's mission. He had at times quite a drove of aged and maimed horses under the care of some humane farmer. Inflicting pain on dumb creatures was with him an un pardonable sin. This simpathy extended to the smallest animals, even to insects. He put out the fire in the woods, because the wind blew the mosquitoes into the flames; "God forbid that I should build a fire for my comfort which should be the means of destroying any of his creatures." He once built a fire at the end of a hollow log, in which he intended to pass the night, but finding a bear and her cubs occupying it, he removed the fire to the other end 'and slept in the snow rather than disturb the bear. A snake having bit him, . a friend asked him in regard to it. Johnny drew a long sigh aud re plied: "Poor fellow! he only scythe into him and went home." While at work in the woods a hornet got underneath his shirt, and although repeatedly stung by the insect, he deliberately took off his shirt and liberated the intruder. His friend laughed at him and asked him why he didn't kill the little imp, to which he replied: "It wouldn't not be right to kill the poor thing for it did not intend to hurt me." He live the roughest life, camp ing out in the woods, or, if sleep ing in the Iiousp, occupying the floor; his dress was an indescri bable medley, composed of cast- off clothing he had taken in change for apple trees. In late years this second-hand raiment he thought too luxurious, and wore as a principal garment an old cofTce sack, in the bottom and sides of which he cut holes to thrust his head and amis through. He thought this a. coat good enough for any man to wear. He seldom wore shoes except in winter. For traveling on rough roads he wore a rude pair of sandals. He bought no covering for his feet, using old cast-off boots and shoes, generally unmatched, and wore them while they would stick to his feet. He made his own headgear; for a long time he wore the large tin dipper in which he cooked his mush while traveling. But it failed to shade his face from the sun. Hence he made a hat of pasteboard, with an immense peak in front, and bent down at the sides to protect his face from the heat. He led a blameless and moral life, and likened himself unto the primitive Christians, literally taking no thought of the morrow. This con viction made him at all times hap py. At one time an itinerant minister holding forth on the pub lic square at Mansfield, was de nouncing the sins of this life and dress, and exclaimed inquiring: "Where"now is the bare-footed Christian traveling to heaven?" Johnny, who was lying on the ground near by, took the question in its literal sense, raised his bare feet in the air and vociferated. "Here's your primitive Christian!" to the discomfiture of the well dressed missionary. The physi cian who was present at his death was heard to inquire what was Johnny Appleseed's religion; he had never seen a man in so placid a state at the approach of death, and so ready to enter upon another life. !The Panama Canal. The Dreparatory work has now occupied two years of the seven years in which the great ditch was to be completed from ocean to ocean, according to the views of TIa T.fs;ins in 1SS1. ThCV :ll- w --J lowed two years then for this pre paratory work, which included the practical survevs, clearing away trees, brush, rubbish, building houses for the workmen, securing tools, provisions, dredges, hospit als and medicines. Now, at the beginning of the third year, the company is entering on the work of dredging, digging and blasting, with a fair prospect of completing the whole job at the end of five years from date. At this time the whole expenses "of the com pany is estimated at 550,000 per month, or $0,600,000 a year. This is probably apart frpm the cost of the dredging machines. When these begin operation at both ends the expenses will be increased. At the very highest, and allowing an average of $550,000 a month for the two years of preparatory oper ations, the company cannot have expended to date more than $13, 200,000, probably not $10,000,000 exclusive of dredging machines and contracts for future work to be done by the contractors. From these cold facts there does Nnot seem to be any good ground for the damaging assumption that the canal, fully completed, will cost anything like the enormous esti mates made by its enemies, the transcontinental railway directors.

The following dispatch is com mended to those who think the Apaches should be "reasoned with," and not killed: Hermosillo, Mexico, April 11. Ninety-three persons have been killed in this state since the Apache outbreak, of which twenty seven were Americans. It is be lieved that many killed are not yet reported. At Palmo rancho ten were killed last Tuesday. Two women were bung up by the hands and ripped open. From one a child was taken. It was found mangled at the mothers feet.

KANT. 5 WIIiIIAM HOWS -DEALER IX- In buvin thf cnuinc Ilt I The greatest proof of the genu -ine merit ot an article can be found in the amount of patronage it re ceives, and the thousands of testi monials respecting the Great Ger man Remedy, prove most conclu sively that it is all that it is repre sented to be. Mr. T. J. Murphy, who resides at No. Gl Dabavoice street, Brooklyn, N. Y., is one of the fortunate ones. I rubbed St. Jacobs Oil all over my left leg for several days, and it cured as pret ty a case of rheumatism as ever was fastened en a man. I never had the disease before this winter. But as almost everybody else was suffering with it, I guess I had to be in the fashion. So one day I felt a nasty sort of pain creeping down my left limb, but didn't think much of it until night, when it be ran to make me eroan. I had seen the advertisement of St. Jacobs Oil, and had heard some thing about it from friends. I therefore got a bottle of it and went for rav left leer. I did not stint myself in the use of the Oil, but rubbed half a bottle on the first time. The first application gave me great relief, and I lee up on it until the next day, when I used the remainder of the bottle. That settled it, I have not felt Absolutely Pure. This nowdcr never varies.
