The Irish Potato Crop.

The average potato crop in Ireland,
says an English paper, for the three
years ending with 1876, was valued at
s9, 25O,0OO. In 1877 it was only 95, $50, :
900, in 1878 only 81, $50, 600, and In 1879
only 93, $40, 900, showing loss on the
year below an average year Of 4e5, sos, 900,
and below good year, like 1875, OF
99, 10000. The aggregate loss on po-
tatoes in three years was Ell ,558, 000-
more than an average years crop and a
quarter-and more than e10, 200, 600 on
tenement valuations of the land of Ire
land, exclusive of houses and buildings.
1t may be mentioned that the potato
crop in good year, like 1876, when it
was g12, 464 900 is about equal in value
to all the other crops of human food.

Washington in Jackson,s Time.

In former years the widest gentlemen
used to spend their evenings in decor
ously playing whist with frugal suppers
of boiled oysters, bread and cheese and
glass or two OF Madeira. The rollick-
ing Jackson men substituted poker for
whist, and INDUCED in frequent hba-
tions of whisky, while their supper tables
were graced- according to the season
with baked raccoon, garnished with
fried sweet potatoes, or canvas-back
ducks, or shad broiled before a hickory
fire on an oak board. Plantation to-
bacco was freely smoked in pipes, but
few. except the members Of the diplo-
matte corps, INDUCED in cigars.
Assemblies were held once week,
between Christmas day and Ash Wednes-
day, to which all of the respectable Ia
dies in the city who danced were invited.
1t was also customary for those of the
Cabinet officers and other high officials
who kept house to give at least one
evening party during each session OF
Congress, invitations for which were is
sued. The guests at these parties used
to assemble at about s O'Clock, and, after
taking off their wraps in an upper room,
they descended to the parlor, where the
host and hostess received them. The
older men then went to the punch-bowl
to criticise the brew" which it con-
tanned, while the young people found
their way to the dining room, almost
invariably devoted to dancing. The
music was a piano and two violins. and
one of the musicians called the figures
for the cotillions and contra dances.
Those who did not dance elbowed their
way through the crowd, conversing with
acquaintances, and the men frequently
taking another glass OF punch.
At TO the guests were invited to the
supper table, which was often on the
wide back porch, which every Washing
ton house had in those days. The table
was always loaded with evidences of the
culinary skill of the lady of the house.
There was roast ham at one end, a
saddle of venison or mutton at the other,
and some roasted poultry or wild ducks
midway great variety of home-baked
cake was a source of pride, and there
was never any lack of punch with de-
canters of Madeira. The diplomats
gave champagne, but it was seldom
seen except at the legations. At II
o'clock there was a general exodus, and,
after the usual scramble for hats, cloaks
and overshoes, the guests entered their
carriages. Sometimes a few intimate
friends of the hostess fingered to enjoy
contra dance, or to take parting
drink Of punch, but by midnight the
last guest departed, and the servants
began to blow out the candles with
which the house had been illuminated.

And smokes and dozes, while his wife
Carries in the wood.
Young maiden, when lover comes
Providing round your bowers,
Go hide you in the garden then
'NIong your blooming flowers.
Your heart doth wish to self betray,
Laugh q siren call
But note his face while eearching you =
Rarest flower of all.
If ponlpously he strides along,
Mid the beauties there;
If halts he not to fragrance drink
From some blossom fair;
If scorn clouds ON his countsnance
Plainly lower in view,
That all that "useless rubbish grown
Needs so much of you;
Skip quickly then behind the hedge,
Speed the garden walks,
And haste you to u safe retreat,
Where no monster stalks.
But if his face, and eyes, and voice,
OF their worth depose,
Then part the fragrant, screening shrubs
And bid him pluck the rose.

Kissing In Paris.

At party Of young people In Paris
conversation happened to turn on the
subject of kissing, and the question was
propounded who of the young men
present could boast of having given or
being able to give &c his girl !" the most
kisses. Various were the replies this
question called out. Finally young
man and the girl to whom he was be-
trothed bet 200 francs that they could
kiss 1000 times in ten hours, provided
they would be allowed to take an oc-
casional glass "between." Two persons
were appointed committee to count the
number of kisses, and the work began.
During the first hour they counted 1000
kisses. During the second hour the
kisses were not nearly as numerous, for
the committee only counted 1000.
After the third hour, during which they
managed to score but 1850, further
operations were brought to a sudden
standstill. The lips of the young man
we're seized with a cramp, and he was
carried off in fainting condition. The
girl, few days later, was stricken with
brain fever. When the people who had
won the bet demanded their money, the
parents of the girl refused to pay her
Share of it. The matter was then taken
to the courts; there it was decided that
the bet must be paid.

CHARCOAL AS MANURE. Although
charcoal is nearly pure carbon, large
constituent of all vegetation, still it is
not claimed that this substance furnishes
direct food to plants. Its action is thus
described by Liebig " plants thrive in
powdered charcoal, and may be brought
to blossom and bear fruit if exposed to
the influence of rain and atmosphere.
Charcoal is the most Interchangeable sub
stance known. E may be kept for cent
uries without change. It possesses the
power of condensing gases within its
pores, and particularly carbonic acid;
and it is by virtue of this power that the
roots of plants are supplied with char
coal as is humus, with an atmosphere
of carbonic acid, which is renewed as
quickly as it is distracted. Plants do
not, however, attain maturity, under or
binary circumstances, in charcoal pow
der, unless moistened with rain or rain
water. Rain-water contains one of tho
essentials of vegetable Life, compound
of nitrogen, the exclusion of which en-:
tirely deprives humus and charcoal OF
their influence upon vegetation. .

VI late the water has been SO low that the
boats could not even proceed from Wallula

Pacific, and the river below Wallula has
been SO low As to render navigation
difficult. We are assured that so soon as
there is sufficient rise in the water, boats
will proceed IS far rs Lewiston with regu-
larity, when We msy expect business TO re-
vive. Our merchants are making prepara-
lions TO have new stocks Of goods in readi-
ness for shipment from below go soon as the
boats are ready to receive them; and We
learn that the warehouses; along Snake river
sre we'll filled with grain and -four awaiting
