E''o.cn Potatoes and APples.-A'
The last meeting Of the New York
farmers Club. the President, Mr.. L.
PeIl, submitted specimens Of potatoes
recently received from Mexico. lie
observed that II few weeks since, the
celebrated South American naturalist,
Mr.. Eugene kohcn, The importer and
proprietor of the herd Of Lamas re-
Gently on exhibition at the Crystal
Palace. gave him y number OF these
potatoes. collected in Peru and Boil
via. Unfortunately one cold night,
they were lett exposed ii the Palace,
and became frozen. lie hoped the
process had not gone far enough to
cause a lesson. When a potato free
zes, the fluids contained therein cX-
pand in the same degree that the YES
sci contracts, which allows IL lateral
expansion in most cases sufficient to
prevent injury. AS soon as the tent
perature is raised the air expands and
.iqu.ies the ice, before the gassos
reach their original bulk. But il the
sun be permitted suddenly to shine
upon IA frozen potato so as to raise the
temperature to 40 degrees, tie air
will at once expand and tear the YES
sci to pieces before the sap has an OPP
portunity of thawing. When the
suns rays strike upon the potato it
absorbs and decomposes the carbonic
acid gas and causes the fluid, solid, ae-
riform substances, intended by nature
to be kept separate and part, to be
come mixed and intermingled, chemi-
cal changes take place in the starch
and rot ensues. You may cover po-
tatoes, apples, or turnips slightly with
straw and earth enough to exclude the
air, and they may freeze and thaw
half dozen times during a winter
without injury. You may pack ap.
plies and grapes in tight barrels or box
es and permit them to freeze hard,
and they will be found sound and un.
injured ifpermitted to thaw thorough
ly before being opened. And there
fore he hoped the growing properties
of the specimens submitted would be
found undestroyed.

to make an egotistic subverter Of

Napoleon's American popularity

No. VII.

The next story that shall repeat
is simple narrative of mining chan
ces and mischances, such as thous>
ands who have toiled in the gold
fields of this State might claim as
their own experience. 1t was told
by dapper little man who had been
banking clerk in one of the eastern
cities, and whom I shall call by the
name Of Frank-the only one he ev-
er gave me. The whole of his early
life had been figured away on a long
legged stool behind high desk, and
his light blue eyes had acquired a
certain staring protrusion as if they
were yet fixed on a column of dollars
and cents. Until the gold excitement
woke him to nobler possibilities in
himself, he had shaved away with his
pen resignedly if not cheerfully, en-
Toying no recreation but an occasion
al visit to the theater or concert room,
the perusal of SCOTS and James
novels, and the compilation of a po-
etical scrap-book. This last was a
literary curiosity-its contents being
cleaned from the poets corner of in
Vulnerable newspapers, though most
largely from Franks favorite, the
"Flag of Our Union,'' and adorned
with wood cuts of questionable ex-
cellence which were supposed to lis
lustrate the poems; the whole pasted
upon tinted paper, very neatly to be
sure, and prefaced by beautifully
written title page-for Frank was
capital scribe. This wonderful pro-
.duction he christened-"My Poetical
Omnium gatherum, or, Fountain of
the Muses." and he designed some
day presenting it to certain young
lady of his acquaintance, of whom
more anon. I have not done full
Justice to Franks abilities, for he was
a bit of a musician and rhymster.-
He was the happy owner of whee-
zy ACCORDION, upon which he used to
perform, every night, with great pa
thos, the air of "Donny DOOM" to
the infinite misery Of the somnolent
music-haters in the adjoining rooms.
He was also in the habit Of inditing
valentines, and other very modest
anonymous rhymes of love to the
aforesaid young lady, who, ignorant
of the real author, attributed them to
good looking barkeeper around the
corner, and under that agreeable I'M
preston surrendered him her heart
and hand. The first intimation Frank
received Of this interesting event was
letter from the lucky barkeeper adj
vising him on penalty Of broken bones
not to send any more verses to bis
wife! The poor fellow told me he
didn't care whether he lived or died
after this. The 'sFountain of the
Muses. was neglected: land the neigh
bors growled more than ever at thai
internal ACCORDION.
