Isthmus of Darien are in substance as
follows: Two parties are in communica-

first is a company of American capitalists

THE PoTAToE MANIA.-Almost every
article of farm, product, and farm stock,
has had its run. Just at present the po-
toe seems the prevailing mania. The
prices which some varieties Of potatoes
have commanded, would seem too fabu-
lous for belief, were it not that the state
ments are made on what appears authofi-
ty Of a new variety, the New York
SIN says:
Here are the prices Of a few bona fdo
sales the past week. and we assure our
readers that there was no discount for cash
or cow in this transaction Sixteen pota-
toes brought $685., twelve potatoes brought
1915, one potatoe brought $50, and one
was traded for cow valued at 500"
Another eastern paper tells of man in
Hubbardton, VT, who bought one eye of
I" No. "potatoe, and raised from it, this
season, potatoes that he sold for $3.50, and
has three left. Eight were bought by
one man for $400. Marino bucks at
from $1,000 to $4,000 were mnop in
Vermont, few. years ago. but they were
small potatoes beside those of to-day.

The Shameless Renudiators.

| The House Of Representatives,, on Mon
idav, did an act which was elninenty cal
culated to sestain the national credit. 1t
took formal notice of Andrew Johnson's
proposition to repudiate the principal OF
the public debt, and branded it in fitting
terms. The resolution adopted by the
House recites the language of the Presi-
dents message, and then declares:
Resogved, That all forms end degrees of repu-
diatfon ofthe national Indebtedness are odious
to thea nerican people, and under no circum-
stances will their Representatives consent to
offer the public creditor, as full compensa-
ton, a less amount of money than that which
tire government contfactedeo pay. -
This resolution was adopted by q vote
of 154 yeas to nays, and it is fitting that
the names of the six who voted for repu-
diation should be given i'm full. They.
are: Stevenson Archer, of Baltimore
Maryland George NJ Adams, of Ken
lucky; A: P. Grover, Of Kentucky !
Thomas H. J onese of Kentucky; William

the JefersOniGn: Going down street last
Tuesday morning we noticed an unusually
large number of people on the street, ali
sgog with excitement. Making inquiry as
to the occasion Of it, we ascertaiRed that
but few moments before, Court had been
adjourned for time, that the Judge might
get something to drink" Treating the
matter as joke--for we knew that Judge
Oonklin was member of the NJ. E. Church
we passed on, but upon meeting him we
were convinced that it was a fact. With
blood-shot eyes, flushed face and unsteady
step, he went con his winding way" first on
one side of the street, then on the other,
stopping at every saloon, grocery and hotel
in the endeavor 10 get drink of liquor
Failing in this-as every dealer had pre-
vious]y been warned not TO furnish him-he
staggered to the hotel and left lawyers,
clients, sheriff, jurors and witnesses to pass
the time away as best suited them. On
Wednesday morning, having somewhat re-
covered from the effects Of his debauch, he
again opened Court. but in short time ad-
journed until ten O'Clock. This was done al
the request Of members of the Bar, f'that
they might arrange the docket differently,
in order to expedite the business" This
was done by continuing all the litigated
cases, leaving the drunken Court but few
odds and ends, wherein he could do no
damage in any event. 1t is a burning shame
that man of the age, ability and assopia-
tions of Judge Oonklin will disgrace himself,
friends family and the profession by such
infamous conduct,
