Mr.. H. r. STEVENS.
Dear Sir. Since several years have got a

one bnttle of VEGETIEE; and after had used
one bottle the pains left me, and 1t began to
heal and then bought one other bottle, and
So take il yet. ! thank God for this remedy
and yourself; and wishing every sufferer may
pay attention to it. It Is blessing for health.

POPULAR DRESS GOODS.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1878-03-28
Stanboui.

There are no shops in the streets of
Stamboul proper, fer nearly everything
except food is sold in the bazaar,
which is an enormous square building
consisting of an labyrinth of long ar
cades, In which the dealers sit in their
stalls with their wares piled up around
them. 1t is all locked up at sunset.
You may buy most things in it, but
the visitor is chiefly attracted by the
rugs and carpets from Persia, Anatolia,
and Kurdistan, the silks of Broussa,
and the stores of old armor (real and
false) from everywhere. Purchasing
Is no easy matter, for stranger is
asked thrice the value of the goods,
and unless he is content to be cheated
both by the dealer and his own Cice-
rome interpreter (who, of course, re.
ceives secret commission from the
vender), he must spend hours and
| hours In bargaining. Business is slack
on FRIDAY [the Mussulman's Sabbath
and on Saturday (sInce many of the
| dealers are jews, as well as on Sun
| day. II is conducted under another
difficulty which drives the visitor al
most wild-that of multiplicity OF
circulating mediums" There is a
Turkish metallic currency and paper
currency greatly deprecated. besides
all sorts of other notions constantly
turning up, among which the Indian
rupee is one of the commonest; and
you have to make a separate bargain
as to the value at which the COINS you
happen to have in your pocket will be
taken. Hotel lodging, and, indeed,
almost everything, is very dear; for
Western books you pay half as much
again as in London or Paris. There is
little sign of police in the streets, and
nothing done either to pave or clean
them. Few are passhble for carriages,
and the Turks leave everything 10
time and chance. The only scavengers
are the vultures, which may sometimes
be seen lowering about in the clear
sky, and the dogs, of which there is
great multitude in the city. Though
you must have often heard OF these
dogs, the tradition which oblIges eve-
ry one who talks about Constantinople
to mention them is too we'll established
to be disregarded. Nobody owns them
or feeds them, though each dog mostly
inhabits the same quarter or street, and,
in fact, is chased away or slain if he
ventures into the territory of his neigh
bors. They are ill-favored brutes,
mostly of a brown or yelIowish hue,
and are very much IN the way as one
walks about. At night they are Sc
rious difficulty, for the streets are not
lighted, and you not only stumble over
them, but are sometimes, when you
fall into one of the holes in the road

of them, whereupon terrible swapping
and barking ensues. However, they

brought about by s variation of culture,
aud we have no reason to suppose but
that fiat culture of potatoes, under
some circumstances, may be successful.
Admitting this to be so, We should Sc
lect sandy or very porous land as the
field on which to try this mode of eul-
| ture; while on q tenacious, clayey soil,
or stiff, loamy one, that requires
much working to keep it in friable
condition, should continue the old
system of plowing out, pulycrizing the
soil and hilling up, for the following
reason: Where such soils are fiat cul-
iured, they will become compact by
the rains and by the atmosphere, so
that they become impermeable to the
influence of rain and air-two valuable
elements of growth-consequ quentiy the
size of the potato is diminished, and
its quality impaired, by its being de-
prived of two essentials of healthy
growth.
Ireland, with soil moistened by the
saline bTeezes of the sea, is famous for
potato-growing and her stalwart sons
who come to America ale uniformly
successful in its culture here, and often
raise fine crops of potatoes under most
unfsvorable circumstances. What their
practice may be in other localities, l
am not informed; but here, where they
form numerous class, their uniform
practice is to hill largely, or, if they
plant in drills, to bring the earth into
ridges along the growing crop, and
their crops are large.
Just when TO form the hill is an inn
portant consideration IN securing
crop, and is better done after rain
than when the ground is very dry; for
by hoelng in moisture, u supply is Sc
cured to counteract the effect of the
dry weather.
