The United States senate met yester-
day and presiding officer Of that body
will be elected, who will be the successor
Of President Arthur in event of his death
during this term. The senate stands 80
democrats to IS republicans, with two SEN
ators from New York and one from Rhode
1sand-all republicans, to take their seats,
which cannot be done until after the organ
ization, Senator Bayard, of Delaware, will
undoubtedly be the choice of the senate as
it seems now, and cannot be removed dur
ing the present congress, as after the organ
ization the senate will be tie The only
way by which a republican could be elect
ed, would be for two democrats to vote
with the republicans on the organization,
making 81 to 3G, or for Senator David Davis
to vote with them after the organization to
replace Senator Bayard by republican,
neither of which contingencies will arise.
Senator Bayord will probably be the next
president Of the senate--a just and honor
able man, it is believed, who will not be
likely to abuse his power, unes he ignores
the record of his life.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CoUR1EB:
On entering the city of San Antonio the eye
is attracted to a high tower, which is an OBJ
servatory and distributes water for the
United States military department of Texas.
The government owns large tract of the
plain, but the works are surrounded by a
high limestone wall The place pays one for
visit, as all public works do. The car
riages belonging to the department are con-
tinually visiting the city. stranger is led
to inquire what they are, by the splendid
horses or mules and neatness of general ap-
pearance. After having entered the city
limits old Spanish peculiarities excite the Gu
riosity-the old stone walls; the one story
stone houses the narrowness OF the streets !;
their irregularity. Some have been sup
planted by substantial warehouses; built by
modern tradesmen yet many of the old
buildings are used by dealers who transact
heavy operations in them. The old Spanish
churches in the city, as well as the missions
of hundred and fifty years ago, built by
vert the native Indians of that time, but
which churches are mostly now in ruins, are
attractions to the stranger. The Spanish and
indian mixed breeds are daily seen in num-
bers on the Streets they are Mexicans. One
on meeting them is at a loss at first to decide
whether they are mulattoes or Mexicans
You see both in the saddle, frequently the
aecoutrements being of more value than the
horse or the mule. The San Antonio river
is a wonder also Its head waters are not far
from the city on private grounds, which by
permission are visited by strangers only on
tuesdays. Over all through the whole city
little streamlets from its highest waters are
running in all directions, through the gar
dens, in front of the houses, under houses
and in the streets. They were conducted for
the purpose of irrigation originally. They
run through artificial sluices three or four
feet wide and as many deep. The current is
rapid The river is winding, SO that in hall
hours walk about the city you will have
crossed its iron bridges half dozen times.

The Pota to Plant and its culture.

The potato plant is native of the noun
famous section of Chill and Peru in South
America where it is yet found in its wild
state. 1t was of little value to the aborig-
ines, and was not noticed among them by
the first discoverers of the Atlantic sea
board of either North or South Anne. lea.
The earliest Spanish voyagers to the west
coast probably carried it to their West India
colonies, and thence to the main land ada
cent. Sir Walter Raleigh found it in Vir-
ginia in 1886, and took specimens of it to
England, and it was introduced to Spain and
other European countries soon after. The
plant possesses great capability of climatic
and soil adaptation, and will thrive in most
countries and localities of the temperate zone.
Though introduced to Europe at early
date, it was thought of more as a rare plant
than valuable edible, and but little culti-
vated until within the last 100 years. Its grad
ual improvement demonstrated its capacity
to yield large amount of food from small
area, and caused it to be made staple crop
in the densely populated sections of Europe
and America. In crowded Ireland large
potato crop means to its peasants plenty,
and its blight forebodes starvation. In the
United States it is priced as a table edible
by both the rich and the poor, as is clearly
indicated by the quantities produced. In
1876 the harvest of the whole country was
150, ,O00, 600 of bushels
This plant is not SO gross a feeder as to-
bacco or Indian corn, yet it responds to lib
eral manuring, and SO deficient are most of
our soils in its leading element that only
such manuring makes it a profitable crop.
| Though farm-yard manure is extensively
used, it is not the best for the following
reasons: The material the refuse of our
| ordinary stock feeds of hay and grain, is in
| its composition very unlike the potato, hav-
ing an excess of nitrogen to meet its require
ments and deficiency of potash. AS the
former element cannot take the place of
1 L.,
supply it in sufficient abundance, which
causes a loss in the valuable and costly ele-
ment of nitrogen, and large quantities of
| this produces an exuberant growth of vines
| at the expense of tubers.
Those substances which we know as fertil-
| izers or mineral manures, and in which
potash is the leading ingredient, are the best
/ whether we have regard to the quantity or
| quality of the crop, or cost and profit to the
farmer. One of these, of superior quality
| and cheapness, is mixture of wood ashes
| and plaster. in proportions of one bushel of
plaster to eight or ten of the ashes. Other
| mineral compounds made of nitrogen, pot
| ash and phosphoric acids in proportions to
correspond with the composition of the
plant will form practically complete fer
tilizer for the crop and will produce as good
results as the ash and plaster mixture. OF
| the salts of potash easily obtainable in the
| market both the sulphate and m1riate are
used to supply the needed potash, but the
former is preferable, as the chlorine in the
latter Injuries the starch product, though
without decreasing the crop yield. d.-Prvf
