A Vegetable c0rfOSity.

A remarkable freak of vegetation has
appeared in the grounds of r. b. Tatman
at Worcester, in the shape of a potato-yine
which bears tomatoes. 1t appears to be
a mixture of the two vegetables. and is ac-
counted for by the fact that strong to-
matoeeyine from chancc-sown seed grew in
the same hill with the potatoes. and the
pollen Of the two plants became mixed.
Unfortunately the vines were pulled up
before the popularity of the growth was
noticed. Some pt our agIculturists may
derive a valuable suggestion from this. As
both the potato and the tomato are of the
solanaca family it Is not impossible that
one shouId be fertiiized by the other. and
economy of labor might be eff
fected if careful and scientific cultivation
should produce Il plant which should bear
good potatoes at the roots and good toma-
toes on the tops.

DID PRENTICE SELL2

A story that George d. Prentice, the
famous editor of the old Louisville Jour
nal, accepted in 1861 bride of $4,000
from southern men, for which he was to
make that paper an organ of secession,
was recently published in Louisville
paper. 1t was explained that MIR. Prem
tlce had written strong secession arti-
Gle; that the article had been put in
type and was ready for the press, when
Paul X. Shipman, an assistant to Mr..
Prentice, ordered it to be taken from
the form and suppressed; that Mr. Prem
tIce nevertheless kept the bride and at
last spent the money. A writer, signing
himself 1T. NJ. g." sends to the Cincin-
natl Commercial a statement of what he
knows about this extraordinary tale. In
the winter and spring of 1868 he spent
several weeks in Louisville, and saw Mr..
Prentice almost daily. The converse
ton on one occasion turned upon a GER
tain Democratic newspaper in Louis
vile, which advocated a demand for the
resembling of the emancipation procla-
nation as the condition for voting fur
Their supplies for the war. Mr.. Prentice
did not hesitate to assert ain the most
emphatic terms that the Democratic
newspaper had been bribed. Mr.. Ship
man, who was present, affirmed his be-
lief that the paper had not been corrupt
ed, and that its editor acted from his
honest convictions. Mr.. Prentice then
said, in support of his own views, that
in 1861 he had been urged to favor in
the Journal, the secession of Kentucky,
and that it had been intimated to him
that he could make such a step very
profitable to himself Desiring to see
what offer would be made he affected to
consider the suggestion, and was then
offered $35, 900 in gold, to be paid when
the article was written and before its
publication, and a draft for $4,000 to
be paid after the Journal had taken its
stand for secession. The reply made by
Mr.. Prentice was that ''the inducement
offered was not sufficient" He was then
asked to name his terms, and replied
that there was not gold enough in the
Southern Confederacy to persuade him.
Mr.. Shipman who remained in the room
while the statement was made, seemed
familiar with it, and in no particular
did he contradict 1t or question its accu-
racy. IT. NJ. e." adds, in conclusion,
that his own belief has always been 'that
George ID. Prentice was every inch a
patriot"

PENSIONS.

10000 applications under the arrears
of pension act have been received by the
pension Office. They are now being fill
ed and sorted and no action will be tax.
IN on any till the 25th of this month,
when the work of adjudication will be
gin and certificates issued to successful
pensioners. Applications are coming at
the rate of 400 daily. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 will be received, of which
$4,000 will be acted upon favorabIy.
After the 25th of this month it is expect
ed to adjudicate and issue certificates at
the rate of about 10000 monthly. The
first notification a pensiOner will have
of the allowance of his claim will be the
receipt of IL certificate which entities him
TO the money, and which he can then get
if it is in the treasury and not other
wise appropriated. The appropriations
of last congress were so heavy, however,
that prompt payment of pensioners is
doubtful. The average amount receiv-
ed by each pensioner under this act is
about $500. If the commissioners esti-
mate is correct, of $4,000 valid claims,
the amount called for will be $31 800.
900 for pensioners already on the rolls.

Some of the Democrats, moderate men
who know something of public opinion
in the country at large, and understand
that the political battle ground in the
near future is to be in a few of the great
northern states and hot south of the Po-
tomac, are beginning to ask themselves
and their party friends what is 10 be
gained by the extra session of congress
upon which they have just entered If
they were certain of their ability TO re-
peal the federal election laws, that, in
the opinion of Democrats of every shade
of opinion, would more than compensate
for all the odium which the extra session
is sure to bring upon the party, because
that would give them much more conf.
dence than they now have that they
would be able 10 carry the state of New
York in the presidential election of 1880,
while without New York the Democratic
outlook for the great contest of next year
is by no means an encouraging one. But
the repeal of the election law is not pos
sible if the president takes firm stand
against il, as he will; and to attempt il
by any Of the means that have been laid
down in the Democratic programme, as
explained by senator Beck, will be for
the Democracy to butt its head against 8
stone wall.

TuDEN,S GRIP.

Tilden calculates that he has the
grip ON his party, and that it will
have to take him in 1880. The Utica
On. " Herald, speaking of this matter,
says:
mo one can complain that Mr.. Tilden
conceals his plans. He demands that
the Democracy of the state shall wear
his uniform and fight his battles. He
takes pains to impress on the party ev-
erywhere that no Democrat can be cho-
sen president without the vote of New
York He serves notice in the bluntest
and most positive manner that New
York will vote for no Democrat other
than himself. The tone in which he adj
dresses his party, the treatment which
he accords to its representative leaders,
the audacity with which he imposes his
personal ambitions not only, but his
personal hates and prejudices on all who
come within his circle, are the notable
phenomena of current politics. He new
er was more busy than now, and he
gives no quarter to any who hesitate
about enlisting under his command"

UNCLE HAMLIN AT HOME.

People in Maine, particularly the Re
publican farmers of PenobscOt and the
eastern counties, believe that Uncle
Hannibal Hamlin is immortal. He has
been a veteran politician so many years
that all except the octogenarians can't
remember when he began his public
life. In one respect Hamlin resembles
Daniel Webster. He has a strong hold
on the Imagination of the people. The
farmers like his homely ways and his
devotion to his garden and orchard
When he was vice president he would
come down town, when at home in
Bangor, and go through the business
streets in blue overalls and muddy
boots, with, occasionally, a yellow
squash under ane arm, the squash
destined FIR soIae friend. The Felig-
ious peoI.,c l,:.ge heard of the old
senator's - iei.aai for Sunday fishing
excursions raj they can't make up
their minds Is i+-iieve an idle tale so ev-
identity emaE..tin5 from the Democrats
Once in while Mr.. Hamlin goes round
among the evangelical deacons. They
are flattered by the attention of the great
man, and delighted with his gOdIy con-
versation. One of these tours among the
deaeons completely obliterates for
whole year the transient effects of the
Sunday fishing scandal. The ungodly
like the old senator for his convivial
larks. He can smoke cigars so strong as
to turn stage drivers head. He can
drink his whisky straight without wink
His association with Lincoln as vice pres
ident has made him an historic figure in
the minds OF the Republican masses of
Maine. He can, on occasions, rise to
genuine eioqueuce / doubt iffhis gnarl.
ed, but deep-rooted old oak can be easily
uprooted.-Pelayo, in Boston Herald.

majority the same as if he were in full
party fellowship.

Speaker Randall seems to have return
ed from his flying visit to New York II
most ferocious Tilden advocate. Accord
ing TO the Washington correspondent of
The Philadelphia Press, he declares that
the friends of Mr.. Tilden have been in
communication with the party leaders in
different sections of the country, and
are assured of an almost universal readi.
ness to demand his denomination on ac-
count of injustice done him in 1876. He
Is sure that Tilden is in excellent health
and fully equal to the strain Of another
campaign. He considers it of the great
est importance to have candidate who
can carry New York, and for that reason
he shall work for Tilden, and he is conf
dent that four-fifths of the Democrats OF
Pennsylvania agree with him. Garry
