From the Maine Farmer.
Corn and Potatoes Together.

The itlea advanced by some, that
potatoes planted in rows alternating
with corn, would prevent the potato
rot, induced many last year to try the
experiment. As the potato diseas. did
not prevail so extensively during the
last season as usual, the results Of the
experiment in this respect are not 50
definitely ascertained as we could
wish.
1t has also been believed, by some,
that this is a better mode of raising
these two crops than by planting them
separately.
We have been reminded Of this idea
by reading the address, delivered by
Mr.. Ncwhall, before the Essex County
Agricultural Society, at their last Cat
tie Show. We find that he advances
the same idea, and brings forward some
facts corroborating it. Premiums had,
some years ago, been offered by that
Society for mixed crops Of corn, beans,
potatoes, &c. Mr.. Newhall says:
"But one premium had been claim
ed, which was for crop of corn and
potatoes, planted in alternate rows !;
the experiment made at the time, by
measurement of land and produce,
showed that the mixed crop yielded
some nineteen per cent. more than that
which was planted separately, the corn
and potatoes planted in this way, were
mutual helps to each other; the pota-
toes shading the roots Of the corn, and
protecting IT from the effects Of drought,
and the corn, in the months of July and
August, screening the potatoes from
the rays Of the sun. The crops plant.
ed in this way, adding the value Of po-
tatoes in corn, yielding from eighty to
one hundred bushels per acre"
Mr.. NeMhall quotes a remark Of Lo-
rain, on this subject, who says that lie
frequently plan.ei Indian Corn in
single rows, eight feet asunder. and
dropped single corn two feet distant
from each other in rows, 50 as 10 stand
in single plants. When the corn was
ridged, potatoes were planted in the
clearing out burrows, which were filled
with rotted dung. and closed by two
burrows backed over the potatoes by
the plow. ! have had, repeatedly, for
ty t. fifty bushels Of shelled corn, aud
one hundred aud fliy bushels Of pota-
toes 10 the acre. In weight the corn
always exceeded the best corn cultl-
waited in the common way. The mode
was suggested 70 me by General Wash.
ington. who tuld me that lie had great
success IN IT,
Ii ii probable also that another sea
son why these two crops are better,
taking il for granted that there is NJ
iallacy in the above named expert
ments,) is this: The air can circulate
freely through them, and the sun ais,
has lis genial effect, while the mutua
.haie which one crop gives to the 9th
er, tempers its rays, aud prevents an,
excess Of heat which would be igjuri
Gus; in other words, The tcmperatur,
| is more uniform.
This experiment is SO easily tried
! that We linpe il will be more general.
instituted next summer, and its result
noted.

A Discovery IN PoLrrIcs. good
many people have wondered what our
diplomatic system was for. The NJ
pointment Of such men as Rorland ana
Dodge shows very plainly that il is no,
for the ostensible purposes which apol
ogise for it. We certainly cannot send
abroad such men for the same purpose
for which the great powers OF Europe
send out their most accomplished states
men, men conyersant with foreign lans
guages. versel in public law, and fami-
liar with the wants, the capacities and
Tie resources Of great countries. Mr..
Badger, in a recent debate in the Sc
nate, gives the following explanation Of
our diplomatic system:
Are you not in favor Of rotation IN
Office: We do not have diplomatic
system on account Of the benefit 10 the
country, but for the advantage Of those
who sGccessisely get into the missions
Nobody believes that the system was
designed for any other than proyidine
places for such benehciaries as usual T
get into our foreign missions"

Coon SENSE FAsHIoN.-The New
York Times, in the course Of an arti-
Gle under the head of "a Column of
Talk for Young Men on Small Wages"
has this plain and sensible paragraph
OH the subject Of dress;
Then as to dress--it is great non
sense to say that all must dress fash
ionably or lose caste. What is the
fashion Who wears a fashionable
coat, and how do you know it is the
fashion, Tell us Of one substantial
merchant, one thrifty mechanic, one
successful lawyer, or one gentleman
who wears it, and we will name ten Of
each, equally noted and successful,
who do not, and ten fops whom you ut
terly despise, that do. The fashion in
New York, for men just now, requires
clean, decent garment, and no patch
es on it-nO more, no less. A lady
might wear her grandmother's shawl
in broadway and not be noticed. The
timid ones, and those just in from 9th.
er cities and villages, alone are wor-
ried about their looks when they wear
last winters bonnet to the lecture or
to church. Let the young initiate the
substantial and common sensible, ra-
ther than those who are keeping up
at a sacrifice. Ii will be
saving in this item"

Lager Beer is a matted liquor, ori-
ginaIly made in Bavaria, in essential
properties identical with ordinary ale,
which it closely resembles in appear
ance, though differing in taste, Of much
less specific gravity, weaker. and re-
tanning its foam a short time after be-
ing drawn. Its taste is sub,acid pun
gent, and leaves in the mouth pecu
liar flavor, caused By coating of pitch
which the interior Of the barrels receive
before being filled.
The difference between the modes ot
brewing lager beer and the ordinary
ale, is indicated by the etymology of
the name Lager-meaning rest-re,
manning in store the former requiring
to rest ia a cool vault from four to SIX
months before il becomes drinkable,
while the latter can be used immeii-
ately afteremptying from the yats. In
effect it is moderately exhilarating,
having but feeble intoxicating proper,
ties. Indeed, if it were not compara-
lively innocuous in its effect, the enor-
nous quantity consumed would effect
sad havoc among the drinkers-it be.
ing no very unusual occurrence FOR an
individual TO drink gallon daily, anu
even more.

sacrament; she denied Holy Scripture

mained only the belief in a God and
now the Church of Rome has blotted
out that last truth by decree which
is tantamount to proclaiming the deity
Of Mary, and which fixes her, in the
feelings and beliefs of the members Of
that church, as the supreme and only
God. However divergent their cour-
ses and diverse their forms, all error
has common point Of meeting; and
thus the infidelity Of Voltaire, and the
of the Popes, have found
at length their common eliminating
point in Atheism. There is no God,'
said the French Convention, when they
celebrated the apotheosis Of a female
in Notre Dame; and Plus TX, and his
bishops, re-echo the cry from beyond
