JOHNNY APPIiESEED.
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.
In fact, there is reason to believe

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. The
bodies of the men were horribly
manjjled.

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
