Potatoes.


The following article is translated from
the "Farmcr's Gold Mine,' (Boren Goud.
myn,) a Dutch paper, and may be of inter
est to growers and consumers Of potatoes;
POTATOES were irst brought to Europe in
1888. After fifty.nine years the potato rot
broke out and alter eighty years there was
no seed ct for planting to be obtained. In
1896 the Spaniards brought good seed from
Peru, which gave healthy tubers for forty
five years. In 1879 the rot so far destroyed
the potatoes that no good seed was obtained.
In 1897 the English brought new seed to
Europe, but 1t was not until 1902 and 3 that
the seed spread throughout the continent,
and was in general use. Fifty years later
the rot again appeared and decreased in
1856. From this it appears that potatoes
are liable to suffer from the disease about
every fifty years."
II the above is correct, would itnot be
important that the new seed should be i'm
parted from the native soil Of the potatof

the cause. If they sleep on plank door on
straw, and that becomes wet, (often they

small amount of pork.
A hog should have good, tight, warm

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Fsllow- Citizens Of the Senate and cf the
House of Representatives.:
In obedience to the command OF the
Constitution, it has now become my duty
''to give to Congress information of the
state of the Union, and recommend to
their consideration such measures" as l
Judge to be necessary and expedicnt.'
But first. and above all, our thanks are
due to Almighty God for the numerous
benefits which he has bestowed upon
this people; and our unltedpraycrs ought
to ascend to Him that lie would continue
to bless our great Republic in time to
come as he has blessed it in time past.
Since the adjournment OF the last Con-
gress our constituents have enjoyed an
unusual degree of health. The earth has
Yielded her fruits abundantly, and has
bountifully rewarded the toll OF the hus-
bandman. Our great staples have COM
manded high prices, and up till within a
brief period, our manufacturing, mineral
and mechanical occupations have largely
partaken of the general prosperity. We
have possessed all the elements OF mate
rial wealth in rich abundance, and yet,
Notwithstanding all these advantages, our
country, in its monetary interests, is at
the present moment in a dcplorablc con-
ditiou. In the midst of unsurpassed
plenty in all productions of agriculture
and in all the elements of national wealth,
We find our manufactures suspended, our
public works retarded, our private enter
prises of different kinds abandoned, and
thousands Of useful laborcrs thrown out Of
employment and reduced to want. The
revenue of the government, which is
chiefly derived from duties from imports
from abroad, has been greatly reduced,
whilst the appropriations made by Con-
cress at It's last session for the current
fiscal year are large in amount.
Under these circumstances loan may
be required before the close of the pres
cnt session; but this, although deeply to
be regretted, would prove to be only a
slight misfortune when compared with
the suffering and distress prevailing
among thep people. With this the govern
ment cannot fail deeply to sympathise,
though j, may be without the power to
extend relief.

RANKS AND CURRENCY.

It's our duty to inquire what has pro-
duccd such unfortunate results, and wheth-
er their recurrence can he prevented. In
MI former revulsions the blame might
have been fairly attributed to variety OF
cooperating causes; but not so on the
present occasion. 1t is sapparent that our
existing misfortunes have proceeded sole
" from our extravagant and vicious sys-
tenn of paper currency and bank credits,
exciting the people to wild speculations
and gamblingin stocks. These rcvulsions
must continue TO rccur ut successive in
tervals so long rs the amount ofthcpaper
currency and bank loans and discounts Of
the country shall be left to the discretion

The INCONVENIENCE OF PRAYING IN
Hoors.-The following hoop story from
the Richmond Whig, is as good as fash
ionable Christian counsel for young
| ladies':
A few Sundays ago a modest young
| gentleman OF our acquaintance attended
the morning service in one of our fash
ionable churches. He was kindly shown
into a luxuriOusly cushionei pew, and
had hardly settled himself and taken
an observation of his neighbors before a
beautiful young lady entered. and
with graceful wave of the hand pre-
venting our friend from rising to give
her place, quietly sank into a seat near
the end When hymn was given ont
she SIX k,llfully found the page. and with
a sweet smile that set his heart a thnm-
ping. handed her neighbor the book.
The minister raised his hands in prayer
and the fair girl knelt, and in this pos
turo perplexed her friend to know which
most to admire. her beauty or herdcvout-
ness. Presently the prayer was conclu-
ded and the congregation resumed their
seats. Our friend respectfully raised his
eyes from the fair form he had been so
earnestly scanning, lest when she looked
up she would detect him staring at her.
After couple Of seconds he darted q
furtive glance at his charmer and was
astonished 10 see her still on her knees,
he looked closely and saw that she was
much effected, trembling in violent agi-
tation no doubt from the eloquent power
OF the preacher.
Deeply sympathising, he watched her
closely. Her emotion became more
violent; reaching her hand behind her,
she would conyulsively grasp herciothing
ana strain, as it we've, 10 rend the bril-
liant fabric of her Dire IS. The SIGHT was
exceedingly painful to behold, but he
still gazed like one entranced with Won
der and astonjshment. After a minute
The lady raised her face. therefore, concea-
led in the cushion, and with her hand
made an 1nmistakeable beckon to our
friend. lie quickly moved along the pew
toward her, and inclines his ear as she
evidently wished to say something.
please help me sin, she whispered,
my dress has caught, and ] can't get
up" a brief examination revealed the
cau'e Of the difficulty; the fair girl wore
fashionable high he0led shoes; kneeling
upon both knees. these heels of course
stuck out at right angles, and tbs posi-
ten the highest hoop of her new tangled
skirt caught over them, and thus rende-
red it impossible for her to raise herself
or straiehtcn her limbs. The more she
truggled, the tighter was the bound; so
she was constrained to call for help. This
wa Immediately, if not scientifically rem
dered; and when the next prayer was
made she mere inclined herself upon the
back of the pew-thinking, no doubt, that
she was not in praying costume.

king preparations to establish Kid Glove
Factories. They estimate that the dllfe

WANTS TO GET DATED BACK a
beautiful Sunday afternoon last Fall, a
young couple from an adjoining town
came down to our village. stopped at one
OF the hotels, and sent out for a clergyman
and were married. The young man paid
the fee, took a marriage certificate, and
they left the hotel a happy couple. a
few days since the young man called up
on the clergyman with his certificate.
''and wished to get it dated back - 'Iiow
far back do you wish it dated?' inquired
the clergyman. "Why, as near as we
can calculate, about couple OF months u
replied the young man. This the clergy
man seemed TO decline doing, but the
young man wished he would, "as he had
rather give five dollars than not have it
dated back" The clergyman regretted
the necessity of eating back the certiii-
cate, and was yery sorry he could not
comply with his wishes; so the young
man left with his SO and marriage certI :
iicate, the latter being, las near as they
could calculate, about couple Of months
too short."-( RaUena Journal.
