- CEL1BAcY OF WASHINGTON IRvING.-ln-
stead Of being s'defect, the celibacy Of Irv-
ing :! was his crown Of glory. Those who have
studied his writings must have been struck
with the remarkable transition from humor to
nathos, from the broadcast fun to the most med
iitatiye sentiment, which occurs between the
facetious history of New York and the Sketch
Book. Many, perhaps, Imagine that this is
accounted for by. his. loss ofAfortune 1t had
its originin one of those sdisappointments of
the heart which color all the subsequent life OF
a true man. We trust that now there is no
want Of delcacy in abiding to the fact that the
subject Of. Irylngs love died during their be-
trothal. We have heard the last interview de-
scribed by member of her family; ana TO
the sacred sorrow thus engendered IS to. he as
cribed much that is touching and true IN the
sentiment of Irying's writings; to his realty to
this affection, In no small degree, IS owing the
sensibiIity, which kept his heart fresh to the
last, and above all, that respect, for and SYM
pathy with the innate and holy sentiments OF
humanity, which he SO uniformly cherished
and manifested in his letters and in life
Nor is this all. Time may have healed the
wound and reconciled the bereft to another re-
latiop; but there interviewed period of disaster
which drove the eldest brotheryto bankruptcy.
For his sake and that of his family Of daugh-
tiers, Washington Irving continued single, took
them home, and became father to the chill
dren. Bahutiful was the mutual devotion; hap
by their congeniaI household, and Sunnyslde
is now beQueathed to them.

A TRIBUTE TO SENATOR WILSON,
Thurlow Weed in the New York
Commercial Advertiser, referring to
the action of the Virginia Republican
State Convention recommending Hon.
Henry Wilson for the Vice Presiden-
cy, says:
without disparaging other distin-
guished candidates for Vice President
we are free to say that Gen. Wilson
has, by long years of devotion to the
rnnnhlioan nansa earned its confidence
and is entitled to It's reward. Gen.
Wilson is no fair weather politician.
He stands through by storm and dis
aster. His work, as politician. is
never done. He always finds some
thing to do, and he does it thoroughly.
And it is to be said to his honor that
while other senators have made for
tunes and bought expensive mansions
in Washington, he is the same poor
man that he was, when twenty years
ago, he left his work shop to serve
his country, And this, in these degen-
crate times, is no small praise. We
differ with Gen. Wilson about Uni
versal Negro Suffrage and Supremacy
But we cannot Withhold an expression
of our admiration for man whose
public record is distinguished for in
dustry, courage, patriotism and integ
rity."

A New WAY TO GROW PoTAToEs.-
The Louisville Democrat has made
rather important discovery, which we
give as follows:
Irish potatoes in great quantities
can be grown by any one having four
by eight feet of spare ground in their
back yard. The process is simple.
Procure crate, such as china ware is
imported in, and place in the bottom
about six inches of straw, then drop
potatoes on this surface, six inches
apart, then six inches of straw, then
more potatoes, and so on, until the
crate is full. Wet the contents of the
crate thoroughly, and every evenin g
afterward throw a bucket full of water
over the top surface. The potatoes
will grow and 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 a very thin skin. The writer of
this article has seen them cultivated
successfully on board an ocean steam
err.
