From the Hartford Times. The Russian War,
VIEWED IN ITS ECONOMICAL ASPECTS.

VIEWED IN ITS ECONOMICAL ASPECTS. May weighty woe rest on this Russian war, The Allied Powers, the Sultan and the Czar- On speculators, and the knaves combined To pinch the world and starve the human kind! 'Twas aoar that left provision rates so high Doubled the wheat and trebled priced the rye; Ralsed oats and barley, buckwheat, Indian meal, Cheese, eggs and butter beef, fat pork and veal. The bless'd potatoes, that, when I was young, often bought for one sweet song sung With all things else, are got so wondrous high That folks unbless'd with means may want or
 die.
 The cents and dollars with the rest are gone From bout these diggings, in the State of Conn.,! Yea! all our comforts 10 the war are fled, And left to heaven our chance for daily bread l hate to read of this old curs'd "Cremea'- Of bread and butter most want to hear The markets lower'd, would moro rejoice my
 soul
 Than all the guns in strong Sevastopol- Than all the cannon sent to batter down That long bombarded we'll defended town. A cheap white loaf, good hash, and breakfast
 hot,
 Delight me more than rockets, shell and shot Than rifle pits and Russian sallies made, Than Turkish, French, or English cannonade! Brang doaon aoheat -four; moderate the rye Give me my bread and butter ham and pie, My tea and coffee, paper and cigar: Then tell the Devil about this Russian war.

WF The Buffalo Republic is down on the know nothing police of Chicago, as follows:
 " "Chicago is a nice place. A day or two since an Irish woman was taken from her husband in the middle of the street, thrown into wagon, her head muffied, and carried off some distance into the country. When there, she was taken into private room, robbed, and an attempt made to violate her person. She escaped the next morning. and appeared before justice of the peace in Chicago. No traces of the villains yet This is not so strange, when we consider the quality of the Chicago police, for within a week, they allowed man to be murdered in the heart of the city. carried of under the ve- " noses of four watchmen and switch-tend CT, and laid upon rairoad--and wonder upon wonders, no trace of any one concerned can be found."

THE STokE HILL PoTAroE-The Eucning
Post says: Last spring we mentioned hav-
ing received sample of the Stone Hill pota-
toe from Mr.. D. A. Buckley, protested gar
dner Of Williamstown, Massachusetts, who
obtained this variety from the seed. and named
it after his own place, the Stone Hill Farm.
We have been very successful in its cultiva-
ton. We planted it close beside the Mer-
Ger potato and find it much superior to that
both in size, in productiveness, and the
healthfulness Of. the plant. The yield, SO
far as we were able to establish, was at the
rate Of about two hundred bushels to the acre,
which is large one for Long Island. The
MERGERS contiguous to it are slightly affected
with the potato disease, but in the Stone
Hill potatoes are no signs of the disease what
ever. The tubers are large, of roundish
shape, white-skinned. and white within, and
mealy when boiled. They have this pecu.
liarity, that if dug before they have attained
their proper size, they are not, like most new
potatoes of waxy consistence, but are
farinaceous, and apt to break open in boiling
as if quite mature. TIE Stone Hill potato
we regard as very important addition to
the stock of good potatoes, superior in several
respects to any commonly cutilated in this
region"
rive hope some of our enterprising farmers
will act on tho above information. The Pos
is entirely reliable in its statements, and th'
is valuable information.

IMPORTANT OF PUNCTUATION

Presentation not only serves to make an
authors meaning plain, but often saves us
from being entirely misconceived. There arc
many cases in which change Of points COM
pletely alters the sentiment. ..
An English statesman once took advan-
tage Of this fact, to free himself from an EN-.
barrasslng position. Having charged an Off
icer Of government with dishonesty be was
requested by. Parliament, under heavy PEN
atty, to retract the accusation in the House
of Commons. At the appointed time he APP
peared with a written ,reeantation, which he
read aloud as follows IL said he was dis.
honest, it is true; and am sorry for it,
This was satisfactory; but what was the sur
prise of Parliament, the following day, to sec
the retraction printed in the paper thus: f"
said he was dishonest it is true, and am
sorry for it'll" By simple transportation
of the comma and semicolen, the ingenious
sanderer represented himself to the country
not only as having made no recautation, bu,
even as having reiterated the charge in the
very face Of Parliament uackeubos'
