WHY POTATOES Run OUr-A
New Cork farmer says: Some one
asks why II Is thai potatoes So soon
run out. There are two grand rea-
SONS. There are but few potatoes
in a hill that are fit for seed Some
are overgToWn, coarse, rank, and
will not transmit the original quality.
Others are underground, and not
tuII developed seed. Y potato of
medium SIZE. perfect in all lis p"rts,
with change of ground, will produce
its like, ad intinitum. One other
reason, cutting potatoes between the
stem and the seed end continually
will demoralize the institution. 1t
requires the stem and seed end to
make perfect seed. 1t cut, cut
Iengthwise. Single eyes will run
out any potato. j here is no other
seed that will bear mutilation like
the potato; the only wonder Is that
1t does not run out npiettly."

Connecticut.

The Connecticut Republicans held their
state convention at New Haven on Wednes-
dav. Their nominee for governor Is Henry Z.
Haven of New London, gentleman OF hlgh
character and conspicuous executive ability
The New Haven politicians who engineered
Gen. Hawley 5 defeat as Senator last spring.
attempted to control the convention ana
nominate Henry B. Harrison, an able lawyer
of New Haven, for governor, but their labors
came to naught. They threaten TO bolt the
nomination. which would be an act almost
as foolish as was their opposition to Gen.
Hawley.
The resolutions adopted reiterate the
principles of the Republican party, point to
the great work accomplished. recite the
service, of the national administration to
the country, both al home and abroad, con-
denim corruption in high places, favor legis-
lation which shall remove the evils OF intern
perance. declare that women and children
shall not be employed in factories more than
eight hours a day, and oppose the increase OF
the salaries Of Congressman. The text of
the resolution relative to the Credit Mcbilier
affair j. a. follows
ReSolrcd. That we denounce the corrup-
ton of men of al parties in high places;
We have no apo.)gy or excuse Tor those OF
our own. hut desire the fullest investigation
and demand the punishment Of the guilty
conscious that the Republican party, Is
strong enough to purify its own ranks, that
il cannot be strong il it neglects its duty
in this respect. and that it can only continue
10 command the confidence Of the country
by purging itself of unworthy elements.

wool and MooIen Manuraeture,.

Hon. j. Wiley EdmundS, of Mas>a-
chusetts, who is one of the leading wool
manufacturers of New England. being
Treasurer of the Pacific Mills. Lawrence,
Mass, which employs about $500 working
people, and President of the National
Wooden Manufacturers Association, has
recently been interviewed on the condition
of the wool industry of the country. He
said the good feeling between the wool
growers and manufacturers continues IN
changed, and both are satisfied with the
results Of the arrangement made in ls67,
by which they united their efforts in favor
of n measure securing fair degree of pro-
lection alike to wool growing and manu-
featuring.
The manufacturers and Representatives
in Congress of the leading wool-growing
States consented last year to the general re-
duction of ten per cent. on the wool tariff,
rather than have the several duties altered,
which had been fixed with great care. and
should not be inconsiderately disturbed
Industrial protection, Mr. Edmunds con-
sidered, would continue to triumph in Con-
gress Members hostile to it hesitate to
push to their logical conclusion the theo-
ries they promulgate, seeing that the reve-
nue. of the country mainly depends upon
the tariff The trade Of last year was, in
general satisfactory. The manufacturers 0f
cassimeres, perhaps, Jared best. while those
making wooden fabrics for clothing demand
ing heavy outlay for labor, did not sue
coed so well. Not many new enterprises
were started, because of feeling OF uncer-
tainty in regard to the tariff, and the gen
eral course of trade, but the comparatively
new factories did very well, and increased
their business. There were some manufae-
turers disappointed at the years profits,
and on the part of these there Is n DISPOSE
ton to reduce production. The Boston fire
entailed heavy loss. but - long As it did
not impair the productive power of the
country, except indirectly, by diminishing
the capital OF some concerns, the loss will
be retrieved. The Pacific Mills suffered a
net loss of $50, 900, but the closing of their
works for a few weeks, on account of an
epidemic or other calamity, would entail
still heavier loss, falling upon the produc
tive instead Of the non-productive portions
of the business. The cotton mills did bet
ter than the wooden manufacturers last
year Their business i less subject TO tluc
tuations, while it does not demand 80 heavy
an outlay for skilled labor. nor is the
process of manufacture attended with 50
much risk

The Nnrihfleet Disaster.

We seldom read of such heartlessness as
that shown by the officers of the Spanish
steamer Murillo which recently ran down
the emigrant ship Northheet in the British
Channel. and then kept coolly On her course,
leaving nearly 300 unfortunate people to
drown They seemed TO be fully aware OF
their outrageous conduct, for they sought
refuge in the port of Cadiz because Spain
has no extradition treaty with England
The Spanish authorities. however, deemed
il best to investigate the affair, and
the captain and the officer who was on watch
at the time the disaster to the Northfeet
happened. are held a. prisoners in a
Spanish man-of-war. No punishment can
be TOO severe for the heartless wretches
who abandoned the Northfeet-
The conduct of the captain ofthe Murillo
appears in the most uniavorable light.
Passengers on board his vessel have made
affdayits before the British Consul at Cadiz
TO the effect that the shock was severely
felt on the Murillo, and loud cries of
Help help =" were heard. Owing to the
darkness but little was distinguishable Of
the vessel from which the cries proceeded.
Several of the passengers Of the Murillo
asked the captain and crew TO lowsr the
boats and endeayor to save those on board
the other vessel, but the request either
passed unheeded or was absolutely
denied. Neither the captain nor officers
exhibited the slightest interest in the fate
ofthoss on board the stranger vessel they
had destroyed
However sad the sinking of this ship full
Of emigrants, England has 50 long had a
monopoly of running down vessels Of other
nations and leaving them to sink without
aid. and afterwards giving no redress, that
we hope this sacrifice Of human life will be
lesson to her. 1t Is but few years since
the British steamship Bombay ran down
and sank the L. ). steamer Oneida off
Yokohama. She, like the Murillo, went on
her course, although She was hailed for
assistance and heard the hail. Most Of
the Oneida'S crew went down, victims
of British heartlessness and treachery.
The act excited the indignation of the civil
lied world, but the English government by
its subsequent proceedings attached no dis
grace to the Captains brutal and cowardly
act. The officers of the Bombay were
simply tried for unseamanlike conduct and
merely censured. The cruelty of the Bonn
bays officers is now paralleled by that of
the MurilloS. and the British public are
aroused to selfish Indignation because those
who lost their lives were of their own kith
and kin. not of ether nations

The report Of Spencer F. Baird. e. ).
Commissioner OF Fish and Fisheries, shows
good anuant Of work done with the
meagre appropriation Of $4,000. Several
million Hudson River and Connecticut
River shad were planted in the West, in
Guiding the Allegheny river atSalamanca, the
Upper Mississippi at St. Paul's, the White
River at indianapolis, and the head waters
of the Platte at Denver 1t is believed that
in six Years they may be mace to swarm all
the riyer- emptying into the Cult lie says
THE experience of the State OF Connectl-
cut in this respect is a case in point. The
rpplv of shad in the Connecticut for several
wears had been greatly diminished, as com
pared with its former usual abundance,
owing to the reckless methods OF fishing.
A few years ago the commissioner Of
fisheries of Connecticut undertook the
business of Matching out the shad; and has
been turning out young fish year by year in
increasing numbers, until the aggregate
in 1871 amounted to about 50,OOO,OOO, and
in 1872 to 81 900 900. The benefit of this
action was satisfactorily exhibited
in the spring Of 1872. Immense
for the Connecticut river; and the number
of fine. marketable fish actually taken in its
vicinity was 50 great that they became a
drug in the market, scarcely worth more
than five or ten cents each. This condition
of things was, of course, not very satistac-
tory to the fishermen or the marketmen,
who preferred larger profits with less
trouble; but the boon 10 the people and
consumers generally cannot be everestimat-
ed.
Mr.. Baird wishes the coming season to in
troduce spawn of shad into all the Atlantic
rivers, beginning with the St. Johns, OF
Florida and he thinks it very desirable to
try the experiment of introducing them into
the streams flowing into the great lakes,
the bottom of which is found to abound
with minute crustaceans, such as are the
food of the shad and salmon in the ocean.
Something has also been done in stocking
our rivers with salmon. The new expert
ment was tried of catching the fish when
first entering the Maine rivers, and keeping
them till they had spawned. Thus million
and a half eggs were secured, of which half
were the property of the United States.
The German Government sent 250, 900
salmon eggs from its establishment and
SOC, 900 have been purchased in Germany.
These are to be placed mainly in the tribu-
taries of the northern lakes and into the
tributaries of the Great Salt Lake. A few
Pacific salmon eggs have been secured, and
it is proposed to stock with these the South
ern rivers

A. the fourth of March approaches, there
Is Of course much speculation a to whether
President Grant will reconstruct his Cabi-
net.
Sometime ago certain wiseacres agitated
the question of putting a colored member
isto the Cabinet, and Prof. Langston Of
Howard University, was named for de-
partment. But that gentleman evidently
has not the ability or national reputation
for such a position. If the colored race
were now to be represented in the Cabinet
it would undoubtedly be by their ablest
representative, Frederick Douglass. But
the good sense of the leading colored men Of
the country Is at present against claiming
such an honor. They are quite willing to
leave that question to the future
The southern Republicans, too, are
clamorons for a Cabinet officer. Their
former representative, Alderman of Geor-
gia, was not a success a Attorney
General, and the President will not be
likely soon to take an adviser from the
South, unless he is peculiarly fitted for
Cabinet position. The men most promi-
nently recommended and named for South
ern Cabinet member, Pool, of North Caro-
lima, and Sawyer, Of South Carolina, have
not the reputation Of statesmen. Either
would hardly be apt to satisfy their own
section, or the country at large.
In short. there is little probability of ma
terial change in the Cabinet. If Secretary
Boutwell, succeeds Mr.. Wilson IN the Senate,
the Treasury portfolio must pass into new
hands, and il will be difficult task for the
President to find Just the right man to take
it. Mr.. Fish's administration of the State
Department has been wise, and most salts
factory to the people. Mr.. Delano, of the
Interior, Is an able officer, and the heads Of
the War and Navy Departments have
shown themselves well adapted for their
positions. Attorney General Williams has
been in Office but short time. i an excel
lent lawyer, and is not likely to he soon
rotated. Postmaster General Creswell l.
faithful and industrious man. has intro
duced many reforms into his important de-
partment, and the interests of the country
would suffer by new and untried man
stepping into his place. Therefore, we
think that those who look for a reconstructed
Cabinet from President Grant at the COM
mencement Of his second term. will find
themselves mistaken

There WAS an exciting debate in the House
one day last week, concerning the admi>-
sion of Colorado and Utah into the Union
The vote resulted N the two territories he
ing left out by a large majority. The prin-
cipal takers were the delegates from Utah
and Montana, Messrs. Hooper and Claggett.
According to the New York Herdid's ac-
count the venerable representative of Nor
monism commenced his defence with an at
tack upon Claggett, by saying that he did
well to signalize his departure from Con-
greSs by Siliiying the people Of Utah. He
proceeded in a carefully prepared statement
to defend the people and rulers Of Utah,
bat never once alluded to the peculiar insti-
tuition As Hooper is rather popular than
otherwise with the members, they crowded
around him, more with the desire 10 encOur-
age the tawny and venerable apostle of the
Latter Fay Saints in his oratory than
through any desire To hear him humble his
defence of Pacha Brigham and his saints.
This old man is 4 strange compound ofcun-
ming and apparent simplicity, and to judge
him by his looks you would never select
him out of crowd as man of many wives.
nor as preacher or believer in polygamy.
After hearing the venerable old apostle the
House concluded it was but fair to hear the
delegate from Montana in reply, where
upon Mr.. Clageett proceeded to dance
an Indian war dance around that
solitary and venerable Mormon in
way that will not soon be forgotten.
During its continuance the face of Brig
hams friend was picture to behold. The
lew Struggling hairs on the back of his head
stood out in evident Indignation the skin
on his forehead rolled up in little waves To
the shining surface on the crown. His eyes
glared; his mouth essayed to utter denials
but his words were unheeded, and the elo-
quent delegate went on pouring broadside
after broadside of terrible facts into wb.,
he termed the spiritual and political de-
potism Of Utah. He wound up with one Of
the most eloquent perorations that has
been heard for a long time in the House
and which brought forth the applause Of
the gallery and the members on the floor
During his remarks Claggett showed that il
was impossible for an American citizen to
open even butchers shop without a Ii.
