WHY POTATOES YIELD LESS THAN
FoRMERLY.-A correspondent in a
late number of your paper wishes to
be told why the yield of potatoes is
less than formerly. The reason is
not difficult of discovery. 1t exists
as law of nature, embracing animal
as well as vegetable organisms
These all have excretory as well as
secretory functions. All throw off.
effete matter, and this effete matter is
hateful to the secretory vessels on
which vegetables depend for their de-
velopement. If many crops in success
sion, of the same vegetable are grown,
the effete matter increases in proper
tion to the nutritive, and finally over
comes all efforts at successful cultiva-
tion. The food decreases and the
poison increases with every crop. If
manure, general or special, is added
to the soil, it increases the food, but
does not necessarily diminish the
poisonous effete matter. One hum
dred years ago potatoes were but lit
tie cultivated, and most grounds were
left fresh for their production. Then
and long afterwards, 400 bushels was
not an extraordinary yield. Now
the increased taste for its use, and
the great augmentation of our people,
in number and ability to purchase,
have made it necessary that great
breadths of land should be used for
its growth. In consequence, not only
has much of the land tired Of growing
it but the plant itself has become weak
ened to degree that unites destruc-
tive enemies to feed On its substance
to take advantage of its weakened
organization. Hence the rot, so call
ed, and other ailments. Mother earth
is a good mother, but like her sex
generally, she has taste for variety
in outer adornments. She will change
her dress, even the most durable of
fabrics-her forests. These are vary
ing in composition, and finally thrown
off altogether for grasses. These,
again have their round of varieties,
and in a long course of years give
place to other plants. Mother earth
will have her way and those of US,
her children, who best understand her
requirements, will partake most large
ly of her bounties.-Hammoaton
Farmer.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Aug. IA. A
young man, 80 years of age, named
George G. Kellogg, who is well con-
nected here, went to Middletown on
Saturday last and hired livery team,
which he failed to return at the speci-
fed time, and reward of 800 was
offered for his arrest. 1t appears
that he went to Springfield, Mass,
and from thence proceeded to Com
monsville in this State, where he ar
rived yesterday. While driving
through that town he met little girl,
nine years of age, named Hinman,
and invited her to ride, telling her
that he would take her home, but in
stead Of doing so he drove toward
Burlington, and when in a secluded
spot he dragged the child from the
carriage and violated her person in
the most shocking manner. He was
soon after arrested and bound over
in 81 900 to appear at the Superior
Court. Failing to procure bonds be
was brought to this city today and
lodged in jail.

His likeness stamps my brow,
Thro' the valley of death my feet have trod
And reign in glory now. s.iaE
No breaking heart is here,
No keen and thrilling pain.
No wasted cheek where the frequent tear
Hath rolled and left its stain.
I have reached the joys of heaven,
am one of the sainted band,
For my head crown of gold is given
And harp is in my hand.

Whom Jesus has set free,
And the glorious walls of heaven still ring
With my new born melody.
No sin, no grief, no pain,
SAFE in my happy home,
My fears all fed, my doubts all slain,
My hour of triumph's come.
Oh, friends of mortal years,
The trusted and the true, f.
Ye are watching still in the valley of tears,
But wait to welcome you.
Do forget : oh no;
For memory's golden chain
Shall bind my heart to the hearts below,
Till they meet to touch again.
Each link is strong and bright,
And loves electric fame
Flows freely down like river oflight,
To the world from whence I came.
Do you mourn when another star
Shines out from the glittering sky?
Do you weep when the raging voice of war
And the storms of conflict die?
Then why should your tears run down,
And your hearts be sorely riven?
For another gem in the Saviour's crown
And another soul in heaven.

Porter was in the greatest distress;

evidence accumulates of the guilt of
Miller. A merchant in the north part

the sheriff of Weathersfeld, that Mil

Ascutneyyille, "the people are down

lay my hands upon five hundred dol
lars and l will give them chance to

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.-An un-
known man committed suicide on the
railroad near Providence on Tuesday
by deliberately throwing himself upon
the track in front of an approaching
train from Boston. The entire train
moving very rapidly, passed over his
body and mutilated it out of all re.
semblance to humanity. The breast
was almost the only part of the body
found entire. The head was cut off
and thrown quite a distance. The
shoulders, legs, arms and abdomen
were literally cut to pieces, the tor
of the skull crushed in and the fingers
strewn along by the road side. His
clothing and boots were cut in shreds
and the sole of one of his boots was
found in the ash pan of the engine
So far as could be judged, the man
must have been between thirty ane
forty years old, and have occupied &
respectable position in life.

The Young WIDOW ON A SLEIGH
RIDE.-Some writer has said that a
young and beautiful widow "is the
most loving and lovable creature in
existence" There is much truth in
the remark, and as Samival Weller
intimates, they are at the same time
the most dangerous to the liberties
of bachelor, when they once take
notion that way. Is it not singular
fact that most Of the greatest men the
world has produced have been brought
to the feet of widows
1t was winter, clear, cold, and the
snow was packed. DR.. Meadows was
one of a sleighing party, which he
describes, so far as he and the widow
Lambkin was concerned, in the fol-
lowing words:
"The lively widow Lambkin sat in
the sleigh, under the same buffalo
robe with me.
"Ohl don'tp she exclaimed as we
came to the first bridge, at the same
time catching hold of my arm and
turning her yelled face toward me,
while her eyes twinkled through the
moonlight.
"Don't what ?" l asked. 81 am not
doing anything"
"Well, but | thought you were GO
ing to take toll" replied Mrs Lamb
kin.
"Toll," rejoined "what'S that ?"
"Well, l declare r' cried the widow
her clear voice ringing out above the
music of the bells, "you pretend you
don't know what toll is !"
Indeed l don't then," I said, laugh
ing; "pray explain if you please"
"You never heard, then," said the
widow most provokingly, "you never
heard that when we are on sleigh
ride, the gentlemen always, that is
sometimes, when they cross bridge
claim kiss, and call it toll. But
never pay 1t.
| said that never heard of it be
fore; but when we came to the next
bridge, l claimed the toll, and the
widows struggles to hold the vel
over her face was not enough to tear
lit. At last the veil was removed, hel
round rosy face was turned directly
toward mine, and in the clear light
of the frosty moon, the toll was taken
for the first time in his life, by DR.
Meadows. Soon we came to a Ions
bridge with several arches. The
widow said that it was no use to re
sist man that would have his owl
way, so she paid the toll without {
murmur.
"But you won't take toll for ever,
arch, will you doctor p The widow
said it so archly that | did not fail t.
exact all my dues, and that was tn
beginning. But never mind the rest
The widow Lambkin had Meadow
jail to herself in the spring.

Memphis in Danger.

Nashville and Memphis papers have
broached the startling theory that
Memphis is liable at any moment to
" "cave in" to watery abyss beneath
it. The idea is that the mighty cur
rent of the Mississippi river has un-
dermined the foundations of the city,
and various circumstances are cited
to substantiate the proposition. The
river shore at the Navy Yard has
wholly disappeared. 1t is argued
that the steamers which are always
lying in front of the city preserve the
earth at the waters edge, but that the
great body Of the mighty tide of wa
ters, forty and fifty feet below, rushes
onward in it's unresisted course, rend-
ing away the earth. How far the
stream passes beneath the city there
is, OF course, no means OF ascertain
ing. The explosion of torpedoes,
forty Or fifty feet below the rivers
surface, shook every building west Of
the bayou. Beyond the bayou the
shock was unheeded. Similar SUBJ
terranean changes are frequent on the
Mississippi, as for instance, says the
Memphis Bulletin:
Many years ago saw mill was
at work in the swamps of Arkansas,
twenty miles from the Mississippi
The owner awoke one bright morn
ing to find his well dry, in which the
day before there was water three or
four feet deep. He cut trench to a
broad long surface pond, not far away,
and was again supplied with an
abundance of water. This trench
connected the pond and well. Three
days elapsed, and pond and well both
were empty. The old man of the
mill was amazed. The story was told
to traveller from Memphis. 1t is
plain enough he said, the river is
lower than for years past, and your
well and pond have emptied them
selves into the great sewer of the
continent The Mississippi not only
overlows but underfows all the
broad valley through which it passes
Its channel, however broad and deep
could not contain all the rains that fall
and streams that come down from the
mountains, territories and States of
America.
At Fort Pillow and Randolph every
evidence of war has disappeared
swallowed up by the great river
Earthworks at Randolph, built in
1861, three hundred yards from the
shore, have gone to the Balize. Al
both these places the river current
as here at Memphis, strikes the shore
at almost right angles. A city paper
: tells US how planter within a week
deposites five thousand dollars wortf
of supplies upon the river bank some
where in Arkansas. He had not gone
half mile when the country behind
him disappeared with all his stores.
Reelfoot Lake is fathomless. 1t i!
: not far from the river. The night be
fore the earthquake of 1912 lofty
trees stood where deep, silent, still
waters have unbroken repose. Cy
press trees two hundred feet higl
went down. Their loftiest branches
do not reach the surface of the wond
| erful lake. Years before the grea
river had undermined the country
the land went down and water cam,
f up. Everywhere around New Mad
rid we have indubitable evidence tina
: the mighty river finds its way ia
, beneath the earth's surface"
