THE SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT,

upon women, and already has one Mrs. Vic
toria Woodruff a lady brokercss of Broad
street, n. Y, announced herself for the next
presidency Her letter in the n. Y. Herald
of the I'd April is a curiosity in its way, and
is quite n lengthy document. The following
are some of the salient points made by Mrs.

of General Grant, then, has been q failure
from the beginning; weak, vacillating and de-
ficient in moral courage, IL commands neither
the respect nor admiration of foreign Pow
crs nor receives the active support of its
party. The general management of our for
eign and domestic affairs does not seem to
me to have risen to the dignity of policy,
though it be allowed to have been consistent
in its various parts. 1t has been destitute OF
that decision and firmness that characterize
the victorious soldier who is now President
A decided Cuban policy would not only have
settled at once the inevitable destiny of that

consequences of

Origin Of the Potato,

There are several species of potato dcscrib-
ed as growing wild in Mexico, and one of
these, the so!0num cer1ucOsuns, is said to pro-
duce very palatable but small tubers. Our
civilized species probably came from Chill.
The word potato comes to us from the Span
ish battdta, and the Spanish got it from the
Indian PapdS. The date of the introduction
ofthe potato into England is uncertain, prob
ably contounding the sweet potato with the
common potato There is no doubt that the
potato was cultivated in South America by
the Indians, before the discovery of Chill by
the Europeans. The cultivated plant found
its way to the Carolnas and Virginia, and
Sir Walter Raleigh took it to England in
1886. The tuber of the native potato never
exceeds two inches in length, and is insipid to
the taste but not bitter 1t has been sup
posed 10 be naturally sea shore plant, pc
culiar to hillyand rocky soils The first par
ticular cannot be true to all esculent native
potatoes. The potato loves such cool, uni
form, moist and long seasons as may be
found in some parts and attitudes of the trop-
les. But its wonderful constitutional vigor
has enabled it to be transplanted in all parts
Of the earth, until it is now considered "the
most important of all esculent roots, and
next in value to cereals rs an article Of hui
man subsistence"

Col. BENTON On HORACE GREEDY AND
SoLIN RoBINsoN.-It was the opinion of
the late Thomas Ii. Benton that Scion
Robinson's chief merit, like that of Sam
son, lay in his hair. Fellow citizens
said Col Benton once in speech at st.
Louis, "the editor of the New York Iri-
June, Horace Greeley, is the whitest man l
ever saw. His hat is white, his coat is
white, his pantaloons are white; he has
white hair and white face, and think you
will find that his liver is about the whitest
thing about him. The assistant editor OF
the Tribune, fclloW-citizens, is Scion Rob
inson. Scion Robinson is an Irshman,
and everything about himis red. He
has II red face, and a red head, and
just here the speaker caght sight
of n couple Of doube-fsted, red headed
lrshmen standing near, who looked pref
ty much as ifthey would little rather swal-
low him whole than not. but, fellow citi-
Zcns," he continued, 81 mean no disrespcct
to my Irish friends by speaking of red
headed Irisl.man. Indeed, may say as Il
compliment to any such who may chance tC
be here to- day, that never saw red-hcad-
ed woman in my life that wasn't virtuous
nor red-headed man, with single eXcep,
ton, that wasn't honest and it is my delib
crate conviction, fellow citizens, that if il
hadn't been for Scion Robinsons red head
he would have been hanged long ago.

RielI. the W7nnepexger.

Louis Riell, or Reille. who appears to be
the master spirit among the Winnipeggers
was, year or two ago, resident of St.
Paul, and clerk in a grocery store. He is a
young mani about twenty four years of age,
was born at Red River, Of poor but respect
able parents, and is of pure French origin.
Thirteen years ago. his education was placed
under the care of a bishop. who sent him to
the best classical college in Montreal. He
went to Minnesota three years ago. and re.
manned alternately at st. Paul aud st. An
thony during two years. He got situations
az clerk in grocery stores, but OF course was
disappointed. Commerce was not his IA
vorite branch, but yet he would have prac-
ticed it If he could have got any hope to
raise in short time money enough to allow
him to study as lawyer. His disappoint-
ment caused him to return to Red River,
where he thought he could sooner get the
means of following the course Of his desire.
circumstances, however, have diverted him
from law to lawlessness, as his late muir
derous execution of Scott indicates yet, if
we may believe the Toronto Globe, Riell
may prove formidable leader of the Red
River insurgents.
