Distress in New York.

The following paragraph from
the New York Times, probably
gives fair illustration of the suf
fering endured by very poor PEG
pie of that city, who have been
thrown out of employment through
the exigencies of the times:
The man arrested on Satur.
day morning, suspected of having
stolen a piece Of mutton, half a
ham, package of -four, a loaf of
bread, boots and shoes, and some
shirts, was yesterday committed
to the county Jail. He said that
he stole to keep bis family from
starving, and refused to give his
name. Subsequently his wife,
Mrs. Henry, appeared and inquired
for her husband. Her appearance
betokened poverty. Shestated that
she earns$S per week, out of which
the rent of S. per month has to be
paid, her husband being out of
employment.

gE" The G''aWaclets, and
hoao they Hred, fought and Died for
Dtney, aciM incidents and Sketches
of life IN the Go'yederucy," is the
title of a handsome volume, just is
sued by JONES BROTHERS & Co., At
lanta, Ga.
There is certain portion of the
War that will never go into the
regular histories, nor be embodied
in romance or poetry, which is a
very real part of it, and will, if pre-
served, convey to succeeding gen.
CREATIONS a better idea of the spir-
it of the conflict than many dry re-
ports or careful narratives of E.
vents, and this part may be called
the gossip, the fun, the pathos of
War. This illustrates the charac-
ter of the leaders, the humor of the
soldiers, the devotion of women, the
bravery of men, the pluck of our
heroes, the romance and hardships
of the service. From the begin
ming Of the war, the author has
been engaged in collecting all the
anecdotes connected with or IL
Illustrative of it, and has grouped
and classified them under appropri-
ate heads, and in very attractive
form.
The books contents includes
"reminiscences of camp, picket, spy,
scout, bivouac, siege and battle
field, with thrilling feats of brave
ry, wit, drollery, comical and lu:
dicrous adventures, ETC., etc.
Amusement as we'll as instruc-
ton may be found in every page,
as graphic detail, brilliant wit, and
authentic history, are skillfully in
terwoven in this work of literary
art.
1t is just such a volume as will
find numerous purchasers, and just
such one as persons seeking to act
as book agents should add to their
list.

Seeking Homes.

Europe has contributed the past
year very literally to the popula-
ton of the United States: but the
great food of emigration was not,
as usual, from Ireland, but from
Germany. The Irish used to far
surpass, in numbers, the emigrants
from the European continent, but
the late war in Germany, and the
apprehension of another, at no
very distant..period, between North
ern Germany and France, has
turned the tide, and the Teutonic
treshet promises to become flood.
Last year the foreign immigration
into the United States exceeded
anything Of the kind witnessed
for the previous eight years and
as every able-bodied man who
comes hither with the spirit of in
dustry to animate his eXertions is
worth thousand dollars to the
nation as an additional developer
of its material resources, the coun-
try is growing richer, despite of
mischievous legislation and excess
i've taxation. The German immi-
grants make valuable American
citizens, too; and, what is more,
they always do become citizens at
the earliest possible moment. AS
o mass they are sober, steady, la
borious men, sound economists,
earnest thinkers, and politicians,
and honest traders. They raise
large families, believe in the bless
ings of education, amass opu-
lence, and leave the impress of
their frugality and labor upon ev-
cry branch of useful industry.
To all those seeking homes, we
ask an examination of the induce
ments offered for a settlement in
Lincoln county: We have soil
unsurpassed in fertility, climate
as healthtul as any in the western
country, a population noted for
its industry, frugality, kind. neigh
borly qualities, and liberal toler-
ance in religion and politics, a
railroad rapidly approaching COM
pletion, which will place at our
doors the markets Of the world,
good lands fifty per cent. cheaper
than before the war, water in a.
bundance, and water power suf-
ficient for all the machinery of
New England. What more could
an immigrant, who expects to be
good neighbor and citizen, ask

A New WAY TO GROW PorAToEs.
The Louisville Democrat has made
a rather important discovery, which
we give as follows:
Irish potatoes in great quantities
can be grown by any one having four
by eight feet ofspare ground in their
back yard. The process is simple.
Procure crate, such as china ware
is imported in, and place in the bot
tom about six inches of straw, then
more potatoes, and so on, until the
crate is full. Wet the contents of
the crate thoroughly, and every even
ing afterward throw a buckctful of
of water over the top surface. The
potatoes will grow aud produce
abundantly. When they are large
enough to be eaten they can be easily
drawn out and will be found to be
perfectly white with very thin skin.
The writer of this article has seen
them cultivated successfully on board
an ocean steamer.
