replied the pacha.
So poor Mr. Rhodes was ushered INTO the roy
al presence in the most uncourtly array. Ills
first salem was accompanied by an apology, fol
his dress, q do not want your clothes, but you,
said the Sultan. From that day favors have
fallen thick upon our countrymen. The Sultan
at once proposed to make him, instead OF mas
ter of the arsenal constructor general OF the en-
pire-the highest dignity he could bestow upon
him in his line of business. A pacha was sent
to inform him of the honor intended him.
q cannot accept it, was Mr.. Rhodess reply.

'It will cost me my life to tell the Sultan you
refuse this honor said the poor pacha, turning
white.
They consulted about and discussed the sub
ject for three days; at length, the pacha could
not prevail, he ventured to tell his despotc high
ness what MIR. Rhodes said The only reply was,
'very well,' and the subject was dropped-but
not the Sultan's more substantial favors. Mr..

SINGULAR ORIGIN OF A New SORT OF
PoTAToE.-The Maine Cultivator gives an
account of new kind of potatoe, which is,
apparently, a chance production of nature, not
springing from seed or tubers, but growing 10
an excrescence from another plant. The origin
of the potatec now in general use, and most
important addition 10 the food of man, is in
yoved in doubt, but that production is believed
TO have been originally an excrescence growing
upon plant in South America. The attention
ofscientific minds 10 this new production might
settle the question The following is its history
as given in the paper referred to-
''Can any of our naturalist contemporaries in
form us whether the potatoe is an original tu-
Der, or whether il is the production of some
freak of nature? We are led to the following
inquiry, from the following fact, which is before
US, and which we venture to communicate to
the public. l29.@A a' 90
'Year before last, Mr.. John Smiley, far
mer in the northern part of Augusta, noticed
upon some Of the stalks of the gillifower,
which the female members of his family had
cultivated in howeT-pot, some Protuberances,
or exrescenses, like warts, about the size OF
peas They appeared perfectly formed and
living substances, resembling the seeds that
project from the stalk of that Dubious flower,
known as the tiger lily. Every body is ac-
quainted with the gilli1ower, as very ccm-
mon annual plant resembling the pink in size
and flower. Curiosity led him 10 preserve these
excrescences--they were not the natural seeds
and plant them the following spring, One of
his neighbors also took portion of them and
did the same. Two or three came up and
attained maturity. The produce was over
hall peck of good sized and very handsome
potatoesl These were preserved and planted
the last spring.-They grew vigorously, and
the result was about three bushels of new sort
of real potatoes. The potatoe is of oblong
form, smooth face, mostly white, mixed oc-
casionalIy with purple. Mr.. Hrtchings. of
the Augusta House, has cooked some OF them,
and pronounces them superior. They may be
a variety worth cultvating. But the mystery
in our mind is, that they should have been the
product of the gilihower Was that the way
potatoes first same!'' a-.,,.. ft.s..

Mn. RHODES, TIE AMERICAN ARCHITECT AT
CoNsTA NTINoPLE-L Launch Of his first Ship
We spent the evening with our kind, agreeable
companion, Mr.. Rhodes. As a specimen of our
countrymen, Mr.. Rhodes is an Interesting object
to every American who visits CoDstantinople,
He is self-made man; and though now baskng
in the sunshine of wealth and royal favor, re-
tains delightful and unaffected simplicity,
which reminds us so much of home, that 1t is
pleasure to be with him. 1t is singular how
much energy of mind will accomplish. Mr.
Rhodes was born and lived in Rhode Island UNI
til ne was fourteen years of age, and had only
the advantage OF country education, under
master who had kept the same village school
for tweniy-cight years, without adding to or
changing any of his ideas; but his pupil had a
natural taste for mathematics and mechanics,
and overcame all obstacles. He is now that
most respectable of beings-a scientific mechan-
&c. Mr.. Rhodes accompanied Mr. Eckford
from New York to Constantinople, and engaged
with him IN the service OF the Sultan. But Mr.
Eckford had not completed one vessel when he
suddenly died, and the whole business devolved
upon MIR. Rhodes, who determined to go away
as soon as the vessel was finished but he received
such offers as induced him to remain.
The first ship launched by the American arch
iteci presented scene of general interest. The
Sultan, who takes particular pride in his navy,
came down to The ship-yard, and had his silken
tents spread; while the captain pacha, attended
by Two or lhree nunSfeu men provided with
ropes, made ready to draw.thc vessel, a la Turk,

K a To help you,' answered the Turk.

Rhod.s, with surprise. have FIVE or six men,
The TURK stared-Mr. Rhodes gave his orders
the supporters were cut away, and in an in
slant the noble vessel tracked the waves with
FIRE. The Sultan sprang up, clasped his hands,
and cried e.MashGiiah n-wonderful. 1t was a
miracle Suck thing was never before seen
inTurkey. This viii give some idea ofhow little
the Turks know OF the reduction Of manual la
Dor. The next day, Mr. Rhodes was very busy
in the ship yard; he had off his coat, his sleeves
were rolled up, and his dress all besmeared with
