| Improvement on the Potatoe. The discovery
Of new plant, introduced in England from
Chill, resembling the potatoe, was announced
some time since. We find in the late English
papers the following particulars respecting this
discovery
The Orelia Crenaia has lately been introduced
into this country from South America, and is
likely to be extensively cultivated as decidedly
preferable to the common potatoe. A root was
brought over, in 1880. by Mr. David Douglas,
and planted by Mr.. Lambert; and few ANAL
tubers were eIhibiled to the Linnaan Society,"
One Of these were planted by Mrs Hurst in the
garden Of Great Roper's Hill near Brentwood,
and has succeeded remarkably we'll. II was
first pat into small pot in the end Of April, and
10 the month Of May'the pot was placed in the
flower garden and broken and the parts removed.
, This precaution appears to have been unneces-
sary, for it stood the frost remarkably well, and
and on the 5th Of this month, when it was dug
up the leaves were green. The root planted
was about half an ounce in weight, and the roots
produced were about ninety in number, and in
a space not exceeding nine inches in diameter,
and six feet deep The aggregate weight was
upwards of pounds. A few of the roots we're
boiled, and, when eaten, were found 10 resena-
BILE the potstoe. but were unanimously admit.
ted BY all the party to havea more agreeable
favour.
Such result is very promising, and when we
consider that the common potatoe (.Solanun tn.
berosuna) was. for hundred years, confined to
gardens, and that its roots were for long time
not larger than beans, and were watery, we may
reasonably expect that cultivation may do much
to enlarge the size Of the roots Of the OxaIis, and
perhaps improve the favour beyond what il is at
present It has fine yellow flower. and 10 or
namental 10 the garden. The time of Towering
is August. The stems were numerous, large,
and diffuse; the flowers slightly notched; hence
the epithet Cenata. At present. the tubers some.
what resemble small kidney potatoes. inclining.

PRINcE WILLIAM County, June IS, 1888.
Mr. Sno,cdn:-Whie reading your paper of
q late date last evening, my eye was attracted
BY the beautiful effusion Of Prince William
Bard; and as the ,citiy and ingenious poet has
condescended to select the sportive conduct of
so humble an Individual as myself, as the theme
Of his minstrelsy, presume you will in justice
afford me room in your columns for a remark or
two.
The argumentum which the Poet has so hap.
pin ornameoted, in his own peculiar style, may
be thus briefly stated:--A few days after the oc-
currence Of the Randolph affair, came to this
county on visit to young gentleman Of my
Acquaintance. The neighborhood being dull at
that time, the idea suggested itself to my friend
that we might amuse ourselves day or two by
introducing aud personating the character of a
gentleman styled by 20 T." Bob Randolph;
and he made the proposition to me to become the
actor OF the play, while he was to discharge the
arduous duties Of Manager to the same. at
first objected; but having had my scrupies re.
moved by his arguments, we immediately enter.

teen ID see how it is," thought she,
"the old wretch is jealous" All efforts
to catch her eye were in vain, the dinner
was ready and down they sat. The
hostess of the White Heart looked alter
nately out OF the window, like sister Ann,
to see if any one was coming, and at the
table to see that nothing was doing -
TO her dismay she observed the young
lady lifting a spoonful Of the broth to her
mouth! She could restrain herself no
longer but catching her hand, exclaim-
ed, "Poor dear innocent, the soup is
poisonedm All started from the table in

want of words, breath, and ideas "My

eyes, madam, the ways ofProvidence
are inscrutable-the vain curiosity Of
three idle women has been turned to-

gistrate proceeded to detail the process
Of inspection to which the fatal letter had
been subjected: but when he came to
the terrible words-"We will settle the
matter tomorrow at dinner; but ! am
sorry you persist in poisoning your wife,"
he was interrupted by bursts Of laughter
from the gentleman, from the injured
wife, and even from the prisoner HIM
self. One fit Of merriment was followed
by another, till it became contag ious,
and the very constables began to laugh
too.

the visitcr. "Mr Williams came here for

The disconnected magistrate shook his
head, and muttered something about the
atres being very immoral.
