by Monsieur LEOPOLD DE MEYER, at the
Ocean House, on Saturday evening, was at
tended by much larger audience than has
been drawn together on any occasion this sea-
son. The number present, we understand,
was nearly four hundred-at the low price of
one doiiar per ticket. The reputation of
LEOPOLD De MEYER, as pianist, is univer-
sal. lie has performed before all the crowned
heads of Europe, and has received the highest
diploma that has ever been awarded to one of
his profession. The excellence of his perform
ance, and wonderful skill, can only be proper
ly appreciated by those who thoroughly under
stand the science, and from the frequent and
hearty manifestations of appreciation, there
must have been many present of that descrip-
ton. The Magnificent Piano upon which he
performs is from the celebrated factory of Err

FROM NIEN9CO.

We copy from the New Orleans Bee the fol
lowing letter
MArAMoRAs, August L. l5i5-i stated to YOU
in my letter Of yesterday that the First Rcgi
mcn OF Texan Cavalry were destined for some
place, none but their Colonel knew. | was
right III SO doing. Having been sent for at the
Adlulanl Generals Office this morning, was
there informed by person who had written the
orders that Hays, with his regiment, was under
marching orders for Victoria, or as far as he
could pludcnly go, and The Second Regiment
from the same State was ordered to proceed
sill farther south, on line bearing for Tam
plco. Whether these orders will be counter
mandcd OF not, time will show but ! am posi-
live when assert thcy have been issued.
The pIcayune writer from Mer, July 3ls
says:
Capt. VinlonS command entered this place
this morning without the least show of oppo.
ISilion, the inhabitants ihronging TO the Plaza in
crowds as the troops filed inlo il and stacked
their arms IN front of the house of the alcaldc.

enough in the square to have beaten Us OF with
nothing else save The loose rocks lying about

part of Mexico. 1t is built on n hill overlook

PoTAToEs. AT a meeting Of the Far
mers Club, held in New York on Tues
day, the Secretary read a paper, drawn
up by MIR. CoZzens, in which tha Even
ing Post says he gives n sketch of some
visits to The potatoe fields on Long Island,
and in New Jersey. He found the po,a-
toe almost every where suffering more
or less from the rot. The opinion seems
to be general that the disease is inherent,
natural decay for which there is no
remedy and that we must obtain new
varieties of potatoes if we would be well
provided with that important vegetable.
In 1913, the favorilo and almost the only
potatoe in Bear ashing,on) Market,
in this city, was the peach, or round red
po,atoe, brought from New Jersey this
was then dry and mealy it soon de-
generated however, became wet, soggy,
and unfit to eat. Its place was supplied
with the English white poiatoe, which
was then brought from Connecticut. In
a few years these became heavy, bitter,
and poisonous. Next came the Fox
potaloe, which degencrated IN the Same
manner, and gave way to the blue noses,
which, IN their turn, made room for the
famous pink eyes. The latter were re-
marSably good hut partly from degenera-
cy, and partly from their small yield, they
were abandoned for the prolific Mercer
potatoc, which has now been cultivated
about | years, and for the last three
years has been rapidly deterioraiing -
All these varieties have been run
through in East New jersey since 1918.
Other varieties have been cultivated in
the interior Of the State, but not IN extern
sive quantities. Farmers are anxiously
inqui:lng where they are to get seed for
the new varieties. The balls, once so
plenty on the vines, and from the seeds
~ which new varieties were sometimes
raised, have almost entirely disappeared.
The present destructive potatoe disease
hns spread even To the Cape Of Good
Hope. The great difficulty now is to
get new and healthy varieties. " Y.

THs CoRN CRoP ~ NORM CARoLINA.-
In a number Of our exchange papers from
North Carolina, we have observed favorable
accounts given Of The Corn crop in thnt
State. The editor Of the Milton Chronicle,
N speaking Of the crop which has come un'
der his observation, says:
The Corn crop promises to be the largest
known to the memory Of our Oldest men,
We never behed such promising prospect
What in the world will those people do who
were offered $3.50 per barrel for corn last
winter and spring. but who refused to take
less than S5 and SO? We have heard oI
some OF This 6 dollar corn being recently
offered IN our market at S2-but it was ne
90! Let corn sellers learn lesson from,
this, if they will.

Quilted thus veteran officer In some

II had been his intention to act indepen-
IDENTIFY Of the State authorities, or in de-
fiance of Instructions and they recon-
mendcd to the favorable consideration of
the President, the good and patriotic
motives and commendablc zeal by whic h
they believed he had been actuated, and
honorably acquitted him. The Presi-
dent has approved the finding Of the
court, not without condemning, however,
some of his acts. Thus the old soldier is

clear of censure, as he ever has been in
the opinion of the public.
