THE Potato DISEASE.

The last monthly report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture contains very inter
esting paper from Professor Taylor, Micro
scoplst of the Department, on the subject
Of the prevailing blight and rot Of the
potato. Among other new facts in regard
to the physiological structure of the plant
developed by Mr.. Taylor's investigations,
is one of especial value in respect to the
starch cells. 1t has been maintained by
Payen, and more recently by DIR. Hooker,
of the Kew Gardens, London, that the
starch of the potato is not affected by the
rot. If this be true it is manifestly fact
of great economical Importance /; but starch

TOTAL abstinence people have nut to
crack in the fact that the latest internal
revenue reports show that two hundred and
sixty-nine distilleries are in operation in
the United States, with producing capa-
city of 539, 63S gallons daily. AS an equi-
table distribution of this product would
give about three drinks day to each of the
voters of the country, not half of whom
probably use the beverage, it will be seen
that there need be no immediate fear of a
whisky famine.

manufacturers say, that whether true or not,
they obtain from decayed potatoes but a
small proportion Of the amount of starch
which is yielded by potatoes in sound
condition. Professor Taylor's discovery
in regard to the structure of the starch
cells not only explains the apparent dis
crepancy between the observations of the
Swans and the experience of the manufac-
turers, but at the same time suggests to
the latter the means of extracting from
decayed potatoes the starch which has
hitherto eluded their processes. 1t has
heretofore been supposed that the starch
granules of the potato were included in
two cells, an outer one Of transparent
cellulose and an inner one Of opaque
heterogeneous matter. Professor Taylor
finds that inside the latter there
is third, which, like the
outer one is composed of transparent cell
lulose. In the sound potato these cells
are so firmly connected together that the
outer one cannot be broken without break
log the Others, and thus liberating the
starch granules. But in the diseased pota-
tato the outer cells are in great'part de-
stroyed without affecting the interior one,
which is sufficiently small and yielding to
escape the machinery used for reducing
the potatoes to pulp, and at the same
time is so buoyant as to float the starch
granules within it, which in the process Of
washing are thus carried off and lost.
Mr.. Taylor has found by experiment
that this starch may be saved by simply
reducing the potatoes to pulp
sufficiently fine to insure the breaking o.
the interior cell and the liberation of the
granules within it, which will then sink ii
water, and be readily separated from sur
rounding substances. Hence, it appears
that to manufacture starch FROM diseased
potatoes, it is only necessary to grind then
to finer pulp than is required n'the cast
of sound potatoes and Professor Taylor
suggests that the machinery in use SHOULD
be modified accordingly. Considering thu
extent Of the potato rot in our own coun
try and in Europe, this discovery is likel.
to afford means of utilizing millions o
dollars worth of material that would other
wise be totally lost.

THERE is no longer any excuse for i'll
nature. The lotos with its forgetful sleep,
and the poppy with its consequent halldci-
nations, are eclipsed by the discovery, in
Arabia. Of plant the seeds of which pro-
duce instant laughter when eaten. When
they are pulverized and taken in small
quantities life assumes the most cheerful
aspect to all partakers. A hearty laugh is
the first act, and then the happy party be-
gins to sing and dance and be joeose. This
discovery is likely to undermine our whole
social system If we are not careful.

An Administration Organ in Michigan
Charges the Responsibility for the salary
Grab on President Grant.
ADRIAN, Mich, Oct 10.
The Adrian Times and Efpositor, the
administration organ of this city, of which
j. H. Fee, postmaster, Is edltor-in-chIet
and joint proprietor, contained savage
attack upon Gen. Grant in its issue OF this
evening, laying the whole responsibility of
the salary steal upon his shoulders. The
following is the opening and conclusion of
the article; "Sundry political conventions
have met since the adjournment of Con
press. and all, or nearly ALL have had their
saw about what is known as the salary
grab: but none of them on the Republi-
can side have had the boldness to place the
responsibility Of the salary bill becoming a
| law where it properly belongs-with Pres
ident Grant. We are OPP
nosed to the congressional feature of the
salary bill, and we hope to see Republi-
cans in every part Of the country denounce
not only the men who aided in the passage
of the measure, but all men who took the
money. 1t is the part of manhood and
honesty not TO forget that President Grant
had it in his power to squelch this raid OF
the treasury, and that he dld not do 1t
and we fail to see any great difference il
point of morality in a congressman voting
himself g.. 500 increase of salary and
president signing bill which gave him al
increase of S25. 600. This difference doe
not exist, A single congressman could no
have prevented the bill becoming law
that power did rest with President Grant
