THE
New Potatoes.


During the last few years, new
varieties of potatoes have COM
manded fabulous prices; and, as
might be expected, many worth
less varieties have been dissent
mated.
The EARLY ROsE.-This potato
was first introduced to public no
tice in 1867, when it sold for 50
per pound. Probably no potato
has ever grown so suddenly into
public favor. 1t is so well known
that we need not describe it.
BREsEE's PBOLIFIC.-This seed
ling was sent out for the first
time, last season. 1t is of large
size, handsome form, rather rough
flesh white; very productive, dry,
mealy and well favored; an ex-
cellent winter variety.
BREsEE's No. 5.-This is an ear
" variety, nearly as early as the
Early Rose skin very white,
quality excellent.
BREsEE's No. GA very large
potato, some specimens weighing
from one to two pounds. 1t is
flatish-round in shape, with few
eyes; dry, well favored, excel
lent quality; natures quite late.
KING OF THE EARLIEs.-Itis ear
lier than the Early Rose, by near
ly a week; makes a small vine,
which admits of having the hills
very near together, thus obtain
ing an enormous yield per acre.
The flesh is white, and of excel
lent quality; has proved very
hardy, and the earliest in cultiva-
ton.
The Early Mohawk has proved
TO be a vigorous grower, with
stalky vines, very productive
The potatoes beingo of fine market
size, and of superior quality.
The EXCELSIOR is Ofmedium size,
skin white, very mealy, and re-
tails its superior cooking quail
ties the year round.

A friend of ours was coming to New
York from Albany, and just opposite
him in the car sat a lady and her child.
the latter a beautiful little girl with won
derful bright eyes and a sweet winsoIne
face-the very picture, in miniature, Of
her mother. She attracted much atten-
ton, and won many smiles and tender
glances, as she moved about the seal.
An elderly gentleman, walking through
the car, looked into the witching things
eyes, and was fascinated at once. Stop
ping, he lovingly patted her cheek. and
asked: won't you give me a kiss, pref
ty one? / like to kiss little girls She
looked at him very archly for an instant.
and then propounded the rather embar-
RAISING question: Wouldn't you rath-
er kiss mamma?r

On aud after the 18th inst. Ameri-
can silver coin is to be used in Cana
da only at a discount of 20 per cent,
the half dollar passing for forty cents,
the quarter for twenty cents, the dime
for eight cents, and the half dime for
four. Quite likely, therefore, another
week will find the silver of which the
provinces have drained us flowing
back to its home again asking to be
admitted once more into circulation.
If we wish to feel the weight and hear
the chink of hard silver in cur pOck-
cts, there is certainly no difficulty
now in the way of accomplishing the
resumption of specie payments, so far
a. small change is concerned. Con-
gress has only to direct Il gradual re-
tirement of the fractional currency
and silver is sure under present con-
ditions, to come in from Canada and
take its place.

MADRID, March ia duel between Duke De
Montpensier and Enrique DeBourbon occurred this
morning-thc latter killed. The seconds of the Duke
were Generals Cordonas and Alaiminor; those of the
Prince were Senior Rubes and another, name unknown.
The affair created much excitement.
Observation-Disclosures and Enrique DeBourbon
fought about seven miles from Madrid. Bourbon won
the first shot. Both missed at ten PAGES, then advanced
to within seven PAGES, when Bourbon fred and missed;
Montpensier struck Bourbon in the head, when he ex-
PRED in a few minutes. The Duke was calm during
the combat, but was very much affected when the re-
suit was announced. As Prince Henry was poor the
Duke proposes to provide for his family. The cause of
quarrel was a letter addressed by the Prince to the
Dukes adherents. Henry De Bourbon was a brother of
Prince De ASST, consort of Isabella, and cousin of
Duke MontpeDsiers wife.
Prim denounces as utterly false the rumor that he
proposes to sell Cuba.

The REV. SAMUEL.-The appointment Of this gentle
man, whom many of our readers will remember as hav.
ing b. en- at one time editor of the Caddo Gazette, and
subsc qaently on every possible side of the political
fence, and occasionally astride of it, has been con.
frmed by the Senate as Governor of Idaho-an ap-
pointment he is said to have received because of his
having first nominated Grant for the Presidency. A
Western paper thus speaks of him:
just before the fall of Memphis there was a meeting
of the citizens, and the Avalanche tells US: Bard
wanted blood, wanted everybody to turn out and meet
the invader, and bending forth with a look of that Pc
cullar meekness to be seen on the visage of a large
brown bull when he lowers his head to toss up a trou-
blesone dog upon his horns, he swore that Memphis
should be. the Thermopyla of the war, and that every
man should be ready to make himself a bulwark to
stay the further march of the Goths and Vandals who
had polluted our sacred soil with their unhallowed
tread. The perspiration oozed from each pore as he
beloved and bullied and snorted. He made mimic
thunder by stamping his feet. His thin, sneering lips
curled with a killing smile of infinite scorn, while bis
eyes, which assumed the color of the eagles, shot ar
rows of lightning toward Fort Pillow. In the excess
Of his rage his ~fuliginous tongue protruded through the
loan in his foul mouth, and writhed like a erpent
kissing poison. The longer he spoke the madden he
got, until his face glared like a heated furnace, while his
fingers were wide disteuded and auivering as with
palsy. As he continued his terrible apostrophe on the
Infamous Yankee invader, a general shout of stihed
rage arose from the convulsed and agonized multi.

SMASH UP OF THE MEMPHIS CorroN MARKEr.-A cor
respondent of the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution thus
writes from Memphis:
Forty cotton spectators, more or less-lame ducks
went limping about the streets yesterday. Poverty,
terrible as inevitable, unless the prices advance within
the next few days, awaits some Of the boldest trades
men of this city. There are dealers having several
thousand bales on hand. One of these, hedging, l
suppose, to get even, bought more than 1900 bales,
for about $4,000. His estimated losses are $780,
600. But he is quick, shrewd, bold, clear headed, able
10 hold on for months, and always, when he fails, stands
on his feet. He will win before the season closes.
The number of bales received here exceeds that Of
the same date last year about 5000 bales. Cotton
dealers think the crop will amount 10 2, $780, 600 bales.
The proposed plan of operations of the "quick,
shrewd, bold and clear.headed " gentleman alluded to,
reminds US, in his hedging plans, of a tale they tell on
one of our buyers. He had lost $40 a bale on a pur-
chase of fifty bales, and ,hereupon set his wits to work
to get even. Dispairing of hitting upon any plan to
do that, his next thought was to " reduce the average
which he proceeded to do thus By a nice calculation
lie found that he could buy fifty bales more at a loss of
only S.. Eureka! The thing was easy so the
other fifty were purchased and sold at the anticipated
loss, but then, you perceive, "the average was re-
duced.n

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Kellogg, on Sat.
urday, secured the promise from Secretary Cox that
Surveyor General Lynch should have an appropriation
to complete the surveys Of township and land grant
lines, in order to settle, definitely, the many disputed
real estate titles in Louisiana. He also got the promise
of the reopening of the country land offices, if neces.
sity requires it. The bill before Congress, throwing
into market the reservation lands, will create this
necessity. ra asaaa
The following is a carefully prepared synopsis of the
Funding bill:
The first section provides for the issue of four hun.
dred millions of Eve per cent. 10 40 bonds, which are
to be sold for not less than their par value for coin, or
exchangeable for B 20 bonds, and no other purpose.
The proceeds of bonds disposed of for coin shall be
used for the redemption of six per cent. bonds that
may not be offered in exchange
The second section provides for the issue of four
hundred millions of dollars of 1910 bonds at Al per
cent. interest, which, also, cannot be sold for less than
par in coin, but may be exchanged for any outstanding

The third section provides for the issue OF $500,
900, 900, or more of 20 40 bonds bearing fon: per cent.

The fourth section provides that bonds shall be ex-
empt from ia xation.
The fifth section provides for appointments of agents
