Rich, Racy and Ridiculous

--A correspondent of the London Herald, writing from New York on the 25th of December, is the author of the following:

‘ "It is the first time in six years that I have seen large quantities of roasted apples sold in the market. They are roasted on the trees by the heat of the sun, and then gathered and brought to the market. They sell at 15 cents the peck, roasted.--

’ The fellow must have seen persimmons.
