THE PorATo. The London Spectator says
that 300 years ago the potato was absolutely un-
known in Europe. AT the end of Elizabeth's and
beginning of James's reign, they were enumera-
ted among luxuries, and thought to possess stimu-
lating properties. The eighteenth century was
considerably advanced before they were cultiva-
ted in the South Western provinces of Scotland,
and then they were carried on horses backs to
supply the Edinburgh market. Now, they are
a world wide necessary. In Europe they are
even more important than bread. The idea of a
general failure Of the potato crop fills Christen-
dom with alarm. No wonder that the terrible
disease which has attacked this years crop in
England, France, Belgium, New Brunswick and
the United States, is subject Of so much anxious
speculation.

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. Notwithstanding
the leveng character ofour civil institutions, the
absence of all hereditary titles and entaed es-
t9ates, the unimpeded way of all Gods nobility to
their birthrights, whether born within walls of
marble or Of logs, we Yankees, like other men,
are arlstocrats by nature The principle is seen
operating IN our cities forming exclusive classes.
organizing sects, building churches, TO fence in
the 'gentlity' from the intrusion of the vulgar
herd, Multitudes of men who spring at once
from penury to opulence feel it to be the height
OF their ambition to escape from the relations of
their own kith and kin into this enchanted circle

other class is found among us who, desparing of
elevation by wealth, are willing, for the sake of
admittance, to enter by grace, and form the ca

The UNCERTAINTY OF HUMAN TEsr1-
MoNY case reported in the Lowell Court
er which is well calculated to shake all conf
dence in human testimony. Henry Sherman
was tried in the Court of Common Pleas in that
City upon indictments charging him with two
distinct attempts TO commit rape One of the
offences was committed in Mediord on the 26tb
and the other at Newton on the 28th of Julv
The two girls being separately called into court
both positively identified the prisoner as the man
who committed the assault in question, as did
also some seven or eight other witnesses. And
yet strange to tell, it was positively proved by
the most respectable witnesses, that the prisoner
was In the State of New Hampshire at the very
moment the crimes were committed Hisrese,n,

Private YMdT7iGge Of the Queen of Spain.-
We find very strange piece OF intelligence pub

Spain is already married, and secretly to the cid

cretly taken place by proxy ; that it is Munoz

ceremony and that this alliance, which the Eu-
ropean powers are already informed of, will be
published when circumstances prove favorable.
