TIE Foop OF MAN. - The Genesee
Farmer gives this brief summary of the
native countries of our most familiar
plants:--The potaioe is native of South
America, and is still found wild in Chill:
Peru, and Monte Video. In its native
state the root is small and bitter. The
first mention of it by European writer's is
in 1888. 1t is now spread over The world.
Wheat and rye originated in Tartary and
Siberia, where they are still Indigenous.
The only country where the oat is found
wild, is in Abyssinia, and thence may be
considered native. Maize or Indian
corn, is native of Mexico. and was un-
known in Europe until aiterthc discove-
ries Of Columbus. The bread fruit tree
is a native of South Sea Islands, partlcu-
larry Oiaheite. Tea is found native no
where except in China and Japan, from
which country The world is supplied. The
cocoa nut is a native Of most equinoctlal
countries, and is one of the most valuable
trees, as food, clothing, and shelter are
afforded by it. Coffee is a native of Ara
bia Felix, but is now spread into both the
East and West Indies. The test coffee is
brought from Mocha. in Arabia, whence
about fourteen millions Of pounds are an,
nually exported. ST. Domingo furnishes
from sixty to seventy millions Of pounds
yearly. All the varieties Of the apple are
derived from the crab apple, which Is
found native in most parts OF the world.
The peach is derived from Persia, where
It still grows in native state, small, bit
ter, and with poisonous qualities. Tobac
co is native Of Mexico and South Ameri
ca, and lately one species has been found
in New Holland. Tobacco was first in.
troduced into England from North Carroll
ma, in 1856, by Walter Raleigh. Aspa.
ragus was brought from Asia; cabbage
and lettuce from Holland, horse radish
from China; rice from Ethiopia; beans
from the East Indies; and carries are ma,
iives Of various places both in Asia ant
Africa. The sugar cane is native o
China, and the art Of making sugar from il
was first practiccd there.

Now the Register always exhibits rath-

the advantage Of Democracy. Let Mr..

ROok Keeping.

We have been shewn system Of book
keeping. compiled by Mr.. John H. Shea,
who is now in our town, which, so far as
we are able 10 Judge Of such matters, is
superior to any treatise on the same sub
iect which has hitherto come under our
observation. II is not merely the science
of practical book keeping which this trea'
tise of Mr.. Shea's proposes to teach. In
addition to this there are tables for the cal
culation of interest, equation of payments.
&C., constructed upon plans infinitely more
simple, and at the same time more expe-
ditious, than those which we find IN any
work of a similar kind now extant. We
have heard some of our most accomplish
ed accountants speak Of the work in terms
ofthe highest commentator. We have also
heard it observed by those who are capa'
bic ofjudging, that the tables for calcula.
ting interest and the equation of payments
are worth more than Mr.. Shea asks for
the whole work. Mr.. Shea stops in this
place but few days, and we advise those
who are DESTROYS of keeping their accounts
correctly, 10 examine the work for them
selves.

has been sounded on all hands. The Ma

incumbent. Mayor Harper. The Wing

them and have nominated Dudley Seldom
as their own candidate. The Democratic
party have nominated w. F. Havemeyer
as the Republican candidate for the Mayo
