The Potato is q Heathan.

Does any one know that it has been
battled against by the church, as an un-
worthy infdcl? We must inform them
that Scotland at one time made the growth
of the potato illegal, because it is not men
toned in the Bible! In an article on the
history of it, (Which we saw some time
since in the Quarterly Journal Of Agricul-
ture), this fact is stated among the him
drances to its introduction into Great Brit
ain. 1t was first cultivated in the fields
of England in 1899. But, for gears after
aUards, it was not admitted into Scotland,
from the zeal of preachers in declaring it
an unholy esculent, blasphcmous to
raise, sacrilegious to eat. Famine, at
last" says the historian, 'gave an i'm
pulse to the innovation, and, during the
latter part of the eighteenth century. the
excellent qualities of the potato became
generally understood Home Journal

Indian TheOlogy.

The precise idea Goh Western Indians
entertain of future life is this: AS soon
as the Indian threw off the flesh, he would
ind himself standing on the bank of a riv-
er, thecurent running with great rapiditv.
Across this river was slender pole strip
ped OF It's bark; and lying close down to
the water. The Indian who had lived q
good life then sees bright object on the
other side; that was Right. He would
then, desirous OF embracing the object he
thad loved SO well in the world walk across
the pole, unmindful of the raging torrent
beneath his feet, arriving in safety on the
opposite shore; and Right would then lead
him amongst mountains covered with gold
and silver, into noble hunting grounds,
where he would huntfor eternity. But on
the other hand, the Indian who followed
Wrong" all his life, when attempting to
cross the pole, after death, would fall into
the foaming stream, and be swept down
into a whirlpool surrounded by rocks;
there he would be carried around for many
centuries, until at last he would be grad
ually sucked in towards the centre of the
vortex, and finally ingulfed in an immense
bottomless hole What became of the un-
fortunate sinner, the Indians could not
surmise further than that he lived forever.

The Collier Case

TIL Collier case, with which our readers
are already familiar, has been for some
time before the United States Circuit
Court of New York. It has been dispos-
ed of as follows, according to the New
York T,t6une of the 9Th:
The United States versus James Col
lier.-To recover of the late Collector at
San Francisco large sum alleged to be
due to the Government, already referred
to. The Court considers that most of the
items in dispute. (such as whether the
Collector is entitled to commissions on
certain seizures, and whether he should
be allowed sum said to have been stolen
from the Deputy Collector at Monterey,
&C., are questions of law. The jury
rendered proforma verdict to the opinion
of the Court as to what sums are allow
able to the parties respectively, and to give
judgment for plaintiff to defendant on the
various items, as the decision at law may
warrant. te

Cuba q ,ssNegrO State.o

A letter from Washington to the Balti
more San gives Mr.. Benjamin's opinions
of the movement to make Cuba Negro
State" more Importance than we were in
clined to regard them. He expressed his
conviction that design had been formed
by England, France and Spain to convert
Cuba into Negro State" nominally in
dependent, but, in fact, under the protec-
torate of Great Britain, and that this de-
sign was in process of execution: and,
further, that it is the duty of this Govern
ment to interpose for the Illustration OF
this plot. The letter says further: .
These opinions, coming from source SO
well advised, and so discreet, are entitled
to great weight. tthe same time do
not think that either the Committee on
Foreign Affairs or the majority of the
Senate will second Mr.. Slidell's movement.
They know that this Africanization must
be a slow work, and that it will not prevent
Cuba from falling into our possession, at
a proper time. Under no circumstances,
likely to occur, will the Senate authorize
any hostile measures, or give the Presi-
dent any provisional powers for hostile
movement.
The Presidents Message of the 18th of
March shows that Mr.. Soule was instruc-
ted to demand the establishment of some
authority in the Island of Cuba for the
prompt redress of such injuries as had
been suffered by our citizen from Caban
authorities. The chief burden of com
plant against Spain, in the message, was
that, while the Cuban authorities have
large powers for aggression they have
none for reparation; and it insists that in
case of injuries, the government of spain
shall provide for promptredress. The de-
mand has not been complied with, and
Mr.. Soule must, of course, take his pass
ports
cOOtfCtf, VIC OAASoPNAS -
Philadelphia Ledger, thinks Mr.. soule has
been gS::, :!:y Of great imprudence, anu
has taken course which will shreaten the
peace of the countries. He demanded
premptorly the discharge of the Captain
General of Cuba, and did this without IN
structions from his government, on pr
vate exploration of individual glory.
Now the demand for the removal of
high officer, such as the Captain General
of Cuba, who ranks with a Cabinet Min
lister, is always one of the last things de-
manded in diplomacy, and is generally
enforced at the cannon's mouth. 1t is,
when acceded to, an act of humiliation on
the part of the power on which the de-
mand was made, and a triumph on the
partof the nation which obtains SO impor-
tant concession.
These are rather speculations than facts,
the dispatches from our Minister not hav-
ING been made public as et.-Gn. Eng.

Swiss Discovery.

The Swiss journals give the following
details relative to the discoveries recently
made in consequence of the extraordinary
fall in the water in Lake of Zurich:- cat
about one hundred feet from the right
bank of the lake, opposite the village OF
Mellen, there have been found several
rows of piles, formed of trunks of trees.
The piles are about a foot apart, with an
interval of sixteen feet between the rows.
These piles support enormous beams,
which form very large area. Between
the piles there have been found the skele-
tons of animals which are no longer to be
seen in Switzerland, but no trace of any
domestic animals.
On removing the mud, there have been
found an immense number of heads of ar
rows and spears, made of stone, carefully
cut, and very pointed; poniards, made of
flint, with buck-horn handles; a battle axe,
in stone, clay vases, evidently formed by
the hand without the aid of any instru-
ment, and afterwards baked in an oven;
and several other articles in stone and
baked clay. A human skull has been also
found. These remains, which are consid-
cred to have belonged to the ancient Celts,
are now under examination by commits
sion of antiauarians." 1Hi '.t-

SPIRIT MANIFESTATIONS EXAMINED. NO
age of the world has recorded more ex-
element on any subject than has existed
for the last few years on the so-called
esprit Manifestations. and it has been a
wonder to the inquiring mind that some
thing has not been done OF refute the fool
ish and absurd idea held out by the be-
levers in this vain delusion. It would
seem, that as things too often go in the this
world, SO it has been in regard to Spirit
ualism-''whatis is everybody's busire is
nobody's business" and thus the public
have been waiting in vain for substantial
exposition of this subject.
1t will not do merely to say that it is a
"humbug' and not tell why or upon what
grounds the assertion is made. This will
not satisfy the public mind. 1t has been
left for the author of the work now before
US to, expose this matter upon rational
principles, snd we prophecy, the downfall
of Spiritualism very speedily, when his
book is once before the people. We are
confident that no person who reads this
volume will ever again be at "a loss to route
the "manifesters" on every occasion. 1t
would require too much space here to give
anything like summary of the points up
on which the autohr dwels, but suffice it
to say, that the views are original, and
given in the plainest maner possible.
We predict one of the largest sales for
this work of any that has been issued by
any house on the American continent,
from the fact that it must interest every
member of society. There are none, let
their sentiments be what they may, but
would be well paid in a perussl of this
work. Let every one buy, read, and be
satisfied
