The Rcgenerated Potato.

A few days ago We published an orti.
Gle announcing the discovery ofthe euro
for tn disease in tho potato, called the
rot. Since then we have seen some Of
the potatoes which arc the product ofIhe
cultivation undcr the remedy there allud.
cl to. These potatoes were sent by the
Iiscovcrer, Mr.. L. c. Roberts, Of Mich.
ean, to VIM. Con den, Esq. ,fIis agent,
now in this city. We ncvcf saw Gn.
or or better lot Of potatoes. The first
glance a, them, os they were taken from
the box, was sufficient to satisfy us Of
the superior quality Of the article, how.
ever they may have been raisel. They
were said to have been only an average
lot, as they were taken from the ground
all Of convenient size for cooking,
with some large ones Of mammoth
growth, evincing the great yield that
mish, be eApectel from the process of
regeneration. We hal somc of them
cooacl, and found Them as superior in
favor as they are in appearsnce-hav.

healthy potato only has.

humble, quiet, unamb,ious farmer AMI
village sehvoinastcr Tie cultivates n
forty acre farm in summer, keeping
school in winter in small schoolhousu
on his own grounl. For seven years he
has been looking into this subject-and
has finally arrived at the natural ana
conc elusive results of the cause Of the
potato disease, and has been able there.
fore to give the only true remedy. Those
to whom the secret has been impaired,
are at once convinced Of its reality-so
rational AMI harmonious is it with the
nature of things.
The discovery is as valuable, .proba i.
ly, to the human family as the inven.
ton of the cotton gin, the spinning jen.
ny, or the caloric engine Of the present
day, although We hardly think it will
be generally so realized. The discover.
CT should receive testimonial from his
fellow. citizens, worthy Of his discovery.
Inventors are not generally remembered
or rewarded, though the peoples bene.
fits thercfrom are invaluable. The dis.
coverer ofthe cure Of the potato rot can.
not get patent as for valuable ma.
chine, nor will the large rewards offered
by states fall to this gentleman, as they
were confnel 10 their own citizens. 1t
is the purpose Of his friends to secure
ample remuneration to him, by scllin,

for small compensation. The frs,
years prodnct will more than compcn.

dates, the Pittsburgh Bank sold the land,

Deels. In 1894, finding their proceedings
had been irregular, they applied to the
Court for leave to amend the record,
and again in 1897 Tue claim Of his
heirs seems to be founded upon the irreg.

TURKEY AND AUSTRIA,

Upon this subject we find the follow.
ing in Saturdays New York daily Times.
1t contains some statements we have
not met with elsewhere:
Count Lainingcn-a brother of the
distinguished officer of that name in the
Hungarian service, who was hung for
his fidelity to the Revolutionary cause,
was recently sent by Austria to Con.
stantinople with several demands, the
denial of which the Austrian Court in.
structed him to say would be considered
a casus Jelli, and be treated as such
forthwith. These demands were: lst,
The cession to Austria of Kleck and Lu.
tarina, two little strips of territory which
lie between portions Of Austrian inland
and her coast. I'd, The grant Of Ger.
tain coal mines in Bosnia, which are
wanted simply to furnish pretext to
enable the proposed grantees to got
larger force upon the soil Of Bosnia, to
be ready for service on occasion. 81,
The privilege Of extending Austrian pro.
lection to all tho Catholic Christians in
European Turkey. 4, The recognition
Of the independence Of Montenegro
These are the conditions which Austria
has distinctly stated as the price Of
peace.

An Incident In the War Of 1912.

At the battle Of Plattsburg, in 1912,
during the din and uproar Of the heavy
cannonaie on lake and land, there ap.
pcared before the commanding officer an
unk Indian, clad in their wild hab.
it, covered with war paint and armed
to the teeth, who gave information Of the
approach through the woods, on the
south bank Of the Saranac, of a consider
sble body of British, accompanied by a
small band Of Hurons or Canadian In
dians, who acted as guides and scouts.
1t is we'll known that one column of the
British army, under command of Gcner-
al Brisbane, had approached Platts.
burg from west along the Deekman-
town road to the north of the Saranac.
The American army was now intrench.
ed on the south bank, in the angle form
ed by the river and lake. 1t will, there.
fore, be readily understood that the ap-
proach of this new force would place
the Americans in position sufficiently
critical, to say nothing of,hc dangers to
which they were already exposed.
The information brought by the saw.
age was too important to be wholly
slighted, and came in too suspicious a
manner TO be wholly trusted. The of1i- :
Ger, therefore, thought it best to interro-
gate the messenger.
"Who are you, my friend?" said he.
"Mohican," was the laconic reply.
"What is your name?"
"Stockbridgo Hank" answered the
stranger.
"Where did you come from, and why
are you here?" pursued the officer.
"Indian came from the Dutch rivers,"
replied he.
"But why are you here, say!"
"Why are the Mingoes in the woods;
can the captain tell me that" replied
the savage. his eyes flashing fire.
"Does any body know this person!"
asked the oficers,turnins to the bystand-
ers; but no one replied, for no one knew
him. r@.gi
"What do you want me to do then?"
said the officer to the Indian, still sus.
picious.

mere mcrccnary motives AMI desires; not
knowing that he is a portion, as it were
OF one vast machine, in which each
piece has a part 10 perform; having no
heart beating common with those Of his
fellow men; no feelings in which self is
not the beginning and the end, may
well be said not to live. His mini is
shut in by moral darkness, and he mere.

T H e II I 8 E r
by CAPTAIN GEORGE W. CUTTER.

An old man sat by Greless hearth,
Though the night was dark and chill,
And mournfully over the frozen earth
The wind sobed loud and shrill.
Ills locks were gray, and his eyes were gray,
And dim, but not with tears;
And his skeleton form had wasted awsy
With penury, more than years.
A rusl-light was casting It's ftful glare
O'er the damp and dngy walls,
Where the lizard hath made his Shiny lair,
And the venomous spider crawls;
But the mcnncsi thing in this lonesome room
Was the miscr all worn and bare,
Where he sat like ghost in an empty tomb,
On his broken aud only chair.
lie had bolted the window, and barr d the door,
And every nook he had scaund;
And felt the fastening DER and o'cr,
With his cold and skinny hand;
And yet he sat gazing inten,ly round,
And tremblcd with silent fear,
And strrlled and shuddcred at every sound
iH"t iSii VII hio co"aIu eur.
ola! Ha" laughed the mser 'T'm safe at last
From this night so cold and drcar,
From the elchng rain and driving blast,
With my gold and treasure here.
I'm cold and wet with the icy rain,
And my health is Lad, it's true;
Yet if should light that fire again
II would eos me cent or two.
But I'll take sip of the precious wine.
twill Danish my cold and fears;
1t was given long since, by friend of mine-
have keep it for many years"
So he drew flask from Il moidy nook
And drauk k of its ruby tide;
And his eyes grew bright each draught he took
And his bosom swcled with pride.
"Lct me see; let ME see!' said the miser then,
"Tis some aixty years or more
Since the happy hour when began
To heap up the glitering store;
And well have sped with my anxious toll.
AS my crowded chest will show;
I've more than would ransom Kingdoms spoil
Or an emerOr could bcstow
From the Osient rclm have rubics bright,
And gold from the famed Peru;
I've diamonds would shame the stars of night
And pearls like the morning dew;
And more I'll have, ere the morrow's sun
His rays from the west shall n ing:
That widow. to free her prison'd son,
Shall bring me her bridal ring"
He turned to an old worm eaten chest,
And cautiously raised the lid
And then it shonc like the clouds of the west,
With the sun in their splcndor hid;
And gem after gem, in precious store,
Are raised with cxulting smile;
And he counted and counted them DER and
DER,
In many gliltering pile.
Why comes the flush to his pallid brow,
While his eyes like his diamonds shine!
Why writhes he thus in such torture now?
What was there in the wine!
His lonely seat he strovc to regain;
To crawl to his nest he tried;
But finding his efforts were all in vain,
He claspcd his gold, and-died.

The New Administration.

The New Administration.
On Friday last General Pierce took
the reins of power in his hanls. 1t has
been decided, by the voice of the peo.
pie, that the Wing party shall be super.
scdel, and the Democratic place in
power Whatever may have been the
wishes Of some, the regrets of others,
and the representations of evil by the
disappointed, that act is done. 1t is a
matter of his,ory--a fxel fact, which
cannot be changed for the next four
years. The expression of the nation,
through the baIIot.boy. was emphatic
and decisive. We believe that as
whole, 1t is fair expression of the pub.
lie wish. The policy, the wis lom and
the success OF President Piercc's Admin.
islra,ion, the future will disclose. 1t is
bat fair to demand that it shall be
iu lgcl impartially and with candor, and
not in the spirit of parry roncour, and a
loregone purpose to pick Gaws ami find
fault. Party spirit is ap,to be bitter,
malignant and unfclcntng.
President Pierce enters upon his al.
ministralion under most favorable auspi.
ccs. The vote by which he was elected
was full an decisive one. He has no
motive to be bitter and proscrip,ivc, bu,
on the contrary every motive TO pursue
liberal, manly, unselish policy. He
during the contest, as all will
a Init, great propricty and dignity. He
remained quietly at home, and waited
the decision of the people. Since his
election, his manner ana conduc, has
been marked by manly independence
and resolutc fecison. We believe he
means to be the Prosiden, of the people,
and rule and not be ruled, by cIiqucs.
The course he has pursued in respect to
his Cabinet is one highly TO be commen.
ded. That it has for weeks been formed
we have no doubt but politicians were
never so much troubled to find out who
are to constitute il. Hence, conjecture
fixes upon one set Of men to-day, and
another to morrow. President Pierce,
in this matter, shows his ability. to keep
his own counsels, and we commend him
for it.
Give to the incoming administration
a fair trial before passing upon it sen.
lence of condemnation. A carping,
captious spirit can sec nothing good out
Of the grasp ofits own seldshness. Men
or this class will find fault without rca.
son. But the people will not be inau.
,ncel by them. We have gone through
, heated contest, and the verdict of the
people has been rendered. Now We
want quiet, rest, influences to allay ex.
cited feeling, nothing to prolong it.
General Pierce will have difficulty
enough from the nature Of the position
lie occupies without having them aug.
nented by needles and tit efopposition.
We are pleased to see by public no.
lice, day or two since, that General
Scot, called At tho Lodgings of Gene.
