The Potato ROt---An Important DIS
cOypry.

From the Agriculturalist.
/ In an article on Potato Rot, given
in July last, it was stated that the his
tory of the fungus of the potato'rot was
! incom plete; that the form Of the fungus
so destructive in late summer produce
its spores, or reproductive bodies, By dl-
vision of the plant; and that they were
not, reasoning from the conduct OF other
related fungi, the spores which remained
over winter, or resting spores. As the
resting spores of related fungi are pro-
duced, if not by the union of two differ
ent plants, they are by the union oftwo
different cells, corresponding to the &C
tion Of the stamen upon the pistil in
towering plants, and are thence called
sexual spores. Some other fungi, when
living upon one plant, produce aseIual
spores only, and the same fungus, living
upon another plant produce sexual spores.
In the article referred to, it was stated
that the clover had been thought to be
the plant upon winch the potato fungus
formed its sexual spores, and some ac-
count was given of the attempt OF Prot.
Farlow, Of the Bussey Institution, to as.
certain the truth OF this. The present
season Il potato rot appeared in England
which, while being very destructive, pre-
scented several features different from the
ordinary rot; it appeared much carrier
in the season, and confined itself main
" to American sorts raised from English
grown seed While some claimed tins
TO be new disease, others stated that it
had appeared in former years, and that
older varieties ~ well rs new ones were
attacked by it. In examining this new
potato rot, Mr.. Worthington e.. Smith,
an expert tungologiSt, found the long
sought for resting, or sexual spores OF the
Peronos Pora infesta"s, or potato-rot fun
gus. The common, or aseXual spores, are
produced by the fungus when 1t appears
upon the surface of the potato leaf or
stem. while the sexual spores are prOduc-
ed within the tissues of the plant. Mr..
Smith feels very confident that he has
discovered the true resting spore OF the
fungus. and publishes his observations
with engravings, in the Gard,jcrS ChrC"-
icic for July 18th, last; he is still at
work at it. and we shall probable hear
more about the matter. II is too soon
vet to say what will be the practical
effect OF this discovery, in enabling Us to
avoid the potato.rot, but knowledge Of
the enemy in all its forms. cannot fail
to produce some good results.

Terrible RniIroad Accident.
PANAMA, August lst.- On the night
of the 9th ultimo one of the most hor-
rible railroad accidents that has ever
happened in Chill occurred on the
Santiago and Valparaiso road. AS
the 10:30 P. NJ. train from Valparaiso
was passing over the bridge at Lima
che, that structure gave way andwith
the exception of the engine and ten
der, the whole train, containing fifty
persons, were precipitated into the
river below. The lamps were broken
in the fall and the oil running over,
ignited and set fire to the larger part
of the wreck. The papers state that
over one-half of the passengers were
either crushed to death or perished by
fire or water. Investigation shows
that the accident was caused by the
detection of the bridge, which was
condemned by the engineers several
months ago without any measures be-
ing taken to remedy it,

There are some spots on that Rancho
that are always wet, but. the part
that we speak of is never too wet to
travel over on a common road, and
ten months in each yearit is dry and
beautiful. And with a little gravel
spread over the roads it would make
the finest drive in the State. Never
dusty, always green and not subject to
the depredations of gophers and squir-
rels. If we undertake to make Park
on any mesa lands around the city,
we shall be under the necessity of
flooding it artificially once a month
in order to keep the trees alive. Ma
ture only floods the Cienega Ranch
once year. SO If floods are an OBJ
lection the Cienega has the advantage.
What we want is beautiful shady
ground where trees, flowers and grass
will grow the year round, and which
can be kept in order at very little ex-
pense. A place that will be inviting
and pleasant every fair day in the
year for women, children and men.
OF course no one will visit a Park when
the rain is falling. If we had a Park

of the city, no one would visit it except
in good weather, and we have about
three hundred and forty days good
weather each year. We can afford to
stay in doors the few rainy days we
have. We are perfectly willing to
have Park anywhere that the wis
dom of our Council may be inclined

there is not another place in reach of
