IRISH POTATOES.

Some eighty years of age Miller
speaks in his writings of the potatot
as dish despised by the rich, and
deemed only proper food for the low
est of the people, whether Irish or En-
glish laborers. Many of our readers
will RENE .nber the famine in ireland in
1855, when our Indian corn and
meal were first fairly introduced into
the Green Island. Now, the annual
consumption ofpotatoes by the wealthy
in London and other cities, is some
thing enormous.

Mrs. LIvERMORE says that Massachu-
sets women have il some respects got
more than their rights. The last Legisla-
ture Of that State passed a law under
which wife may go into business on her
own account, and, no matter how much
money she may make, or how poor her
husband may be, can force him to support
her. Mrs. LiyermOre regards this as I'M
Just to husbands and as unaSked for 10y
wives.
