CAUSE OF THE PoTATo RoT.-John ii.
Kilppart, of Columbus, Ohio, gives his views
on the causes of potato rot in the Nation
al Agriculturist, published at Plttsburg,
Pa. He tracts the disease to excessive cul-
tivation, and to hybridization as one Of the
natural consequences of it, In his opinion
potatoes so crossed as to have flesh OF
more than one color, will be found subject
to the rot, while those of but one will be
found free from the tendency. Assuming
this to be correct, his remedy is to plant.
none but the smaller potatoes, and those OF
a variety without cross. Where large po-
tatoes are selected for seed the rot is most
certain to follow, while the reverse is true
with respect to small ones. In conclusion,
he says: "The rot in potatoes is not caused
sequence of the disease, the same as smut
or bran in our Indian corn is not the cause
but the consequence of abnormal condi-
tons"

DAMAGE 10 CRops.-From all directions We hear
that the frequent aud heavy rains Of week before
last have done great damage to the growing crops
Epecially has this been the case in the eastern
part Of the 6te.s, where the water courses easily
overflow and drown the corn and cotton. We hope
the damsge is not 30 great in this section, but it
must be considerable in consequence of continued
wet weather during the month OF June.
But this is time when no man ought to give up
to discoursgement Let all do their duty as
promptly and as best they can, and trust to kind
Providence for final results. Remember that 'ssuf-
aoient unto the dsy is the evil thereof"
The Wilmington Journal says Of the rains in that

The London Spectator has discussion of the
new hat which is ''coming in" in England, and
which is distinguished by low crown and q
broad brim. The Spectators article is likely
to interest both men and women, for it con-
tains also an elaborate defence of the bonnet
now worn:
!. fs'Is the funnel-shaped hat, the hat of Europe,
the distinctive mark of the West, which no Ash
attic mentions without scorn, and no man who
wears it ever dreams Of defending by any ar
gument of health, beauty or convenience, about
to perish? 1t looks like it, for the extraordi-
nary superstructure has at last been attacked
in the rational way. Artists have denounced
the tall hat, doctors have condemned it, wits
have satirized it, quiet citizens have allowed
that it has every bad quality head-dress can
have, and still western mankind has pertina-
ciously adhered to costume it did not approve.
The attack was toe revolutionary. Some peo-
pie wanted US all to 60 bareheaded, which
seemed to men accustomed to 60 covered i'm
possible; some to adopt the wide-awake, which
was condemned as vulgar; some to fall back on
o straw hat, which was inconvenient.
ga man with bare head is half dressed,
wide-a-wakes are worn by grooms, straw
hat breaks when lifted properly in bow, and
altogether every substitute failed. Atklast
some genius hit on bright idea. Leave the
silk hat alone, but lower its crown, and 10! the
work was done. Monthly, almost hourly, the
height of the funnel hat declines, the brims
widen, the edges turn up, until, if the reform
ers have only nerve and cash, we shall, in
twelve months, be wearing a reasonable head
dress-a low, stiff sombrero of silk-covered card
board, with soft interior edges, than which no
one could wish for a more reasonable or more
becoming covering. 1t will be light, for there
will be little of it; will shade the eyes and
aeck-far more important-because it has
broad brims; can be taken off for bow, be-
cause those brims are stiff, and will not heat
the head, because it has the single merit of the
old HIATT admits of scientific ventilation"

MEssRs. EDI1oRs:-I know that you will
allow me space in your highly esteemed and
appreciated journal to express the thoughts
that have occurred to me in regard to the viola
tion of this high imperative command The
necessity does not, cannot, exist; for the run
ming of the street cars on that day-that one
sacred day of seven-Sunday afternoon and
evenings, is but the revival of the saturnalia
in this our christian land. 1t is hoped that
the Company will at once discontinue the run
ming of the street cars. The commandment
and nature forbid it; it is no convenience to
the public on that sacred day, but palpable
desecration of the day, for Gin it thou shalt
do no manner of work; thou, and thy son, thy
man servant, thy cattle, &c., &c."

them, commisseration for the;r employees, man

practice of running the street cars on
