The Great Rivers OF the World.

The River Amazon is the greatest vol
ume of water flowing through any coun-
try of the world; but it is but 5000 miles
long. The Mississippi from Lake ltaska
to its junction with the Missouri is 2,6l6
miles long; from that point to the Gulf
is ], 2S6 miles, total of 3, 1902 miles; the
Missouri runs 2,908 miles to join the
Mississippi, and, having had given to it
the length to the sea, is 4, 1874 miles long.
To the sacred river, the Nile, must be
given the credit of running through the
greatest stretch Of country. The Amer
lean Encyclopedia of 1885," from which
the previously quoted figures are taken,
says: "It is navigable, as far as the
district Of Fazogle, about 1,5OO miles
from the Mediterranean. Its approXi-
mate length throughout all its windings
from the limit of steam navigation above
Gondekoro is 5000 miles. The addi-
tional length to Lake Albert NYanza
can scarcely be less than 200 miles, and,
consequently, the river traverses a dis
tance of about 400 miles, or 500 more

The Governor OF COney Island.

"The Son of his Father died in
New York on Sunday. His name was
Gilbert F. Davis, retired wine mer-
chant. His father was talented man
and an exceedingly pleasant com
panion. The son was a chip of the old
block, and hence the title which was
given. The father was tea importer,
and subsequently wine importer. In
1885 he became widely known as the
Governor of Coney Island " by
reason of curious cartoon
which he designed and issued
as a burlesque on the land-specu-
lation mania which seized many
New Yorkers at that time. He got up
burlesque map of Coney Island, which
represented the then barren sand-bed
which was to be the future watering
place, as a sort of town. and it was ac-
companied by a glowing prospectus SET
ting forth the great field for fortune
gathering which the sand strip, under
proper management, was to become
The map was prominently displayed;
created a great sensation, and resulted
in the author being sued by the land
speculators for malicious conspiracy
TO ruin their business project.
When the case was called for trial,
however, the map was displayed in
court, the joke and clever satire on the
speculative fever of the day was at
once seen and appreciated, and the case "a;
was lauohed out of court. Copies OF the
map were sent to China at the time, ana
resulted in the next consignment OF tea

Jimmy Brown Tells an sold, Old
Story"

We've had most awful time in our
house. There have been ever so many
robberies in town, and everybody has
been almost afraid to 60 to bed. E
The robbers broke into old DR.. Smith
house one night. DR.. Smith is one of
those doctors that don't give any medi-
cine except cold water, and he heard
the robbers and came down stairs in his
nightgown, with a big umbrella in his
hand, and said: ''If you don't leave
this minute I'll shoot you" And the
robbers they said: "Oho! that umbrel-
la isn't loaded;n and they took him and
tied his hands and feet, and put mus
tard plaster over his mouth. so that he
couldn't YELL and then they filled the
washtub with water and made him sit
down in it, and told him that now he d
know how it was himself, and went
away and left him, and he nearly froze
to death before morning. r.......
Father wasn't bit afraid of the rob-
bers, but he said he'd fix something so
that he would wake up if they got in
the house. So he put coal-scuttle full
of coal about halfway up the stairs, and
tiled a string across the upper hall just
at the head of the stairs. He said that
if robber tried to come up stairs he
would upset the coal-scuttle, and make
a tremendous noise, and that if he did
happen not to upset it, he would cer-
tainly fall over the string at the top of
the stairs. He told us that if wo hoard

The Potato Scarcity.

Notwithstanding the fact that there IS
a promise of an excellent potato crop
this year all over the country the prices
of potatoes are higher now than they
have been for years During the past
week there was an advance OF nearly
one hundred per cent. over the prices
asked the week before, and potatoes
that brought four dollars a barrel at
wholesale now sell for seven dollars, and
even more. The fact that large quantl-
ties of potatoes are now brought to New
York from Long Island does not seem in
any way to affect the price. The incon-
sistency between the receipts of potatoes
from all points and the prices they bring
has given rise to the suspicion that there
is strong speculative interest in pota-
toes that has succeeded in creating a
corner. The suspicion has not been di-
minished by rumor to the effect that
thousands of dollars worth of potatoes
have been thrown into the North and
East Rivers by interested persons. Mr..
John Sutherland, among others, IS
strongly inclined to give credence to
this rumor, and even goes so far as to
say he knows it to be true, and MIR.
Sutherland is not apt to speak without
book. Dock Commissioner Vanderpoel,
when asked about the dumping of pota-
toes in the river and bay, said that such
q thing could scarcely be done without
the Dock Departments knowledge OF
the fact; and the Commissioners had not
been notified that potatoes had been
thrown into the waters of the harbor.
He believed, therefore, the rumor was
without foundation. But he could give
no other reason for his belief.
Many produce e-dealers were visited by
the reporter None of them were in
clined to admit that there was any truth
in the report that potatoes had been
wilfully destroyed for the sake OF Gre
ating corner in the market. They
said that it would be next to impossible
to bring the market up much higher
than it now is. Last seasons drought
was especially severe upon food staples.
Fortunately, however, Europe had
raised surplus of the vegetables the
supply of which failed in the United
States, and large shipments were at
once made and continued during the
fall and winter. Nearly all kinds of
vegetables, including cabbages, turnips,
beets and caulihowers, came over, but
the most useful and important were
beans and potatoes. The following is a
statement of the monthly imports of po-
tatoes from October, 1881, and of ar
rivals till June |, 1882:
Sharp County record., 1882-08-24

Arrivals of potatoes still continue
from Europe, but in a greatly dimin-
ished quantity, only about 6,1OO sacks
having been received during the past
month. In addition to this, the old
crop of American potatoes, which was
originally short, is now used up, and
there is not enough of the new crop to
supply the deficiency. These seem to
be the conditions that account for the
present high price of potatoes, and the
difficulty will be removed as soon as
large supplies Of new potatoes begin to
accumulate. Until then it is safe to pre-
dict very high prices.
Mr.. William Gamble, prominent
produce dealer, said: There has been
no forced corner in potatoes, so far as l
know. The lack of supply could not be
helped. There were no potatoes to sup
ply the demand, and of course the
prices went up. So soon as the new
supply begins to come in you will see
tumble in prices. The crop is large
one, but it is late. l don't believe in
spectators throwing potatoes overheard
to bull the market. Some time ago two
cargoes of spoiled potatoes were
brought here, and the Board of Health
refused to allow them to be landed.
They we're then dumped in the lower
bay. That may have given rise to this
rumor. How else it originated 1 can
not say. You can take my word for it,
there has been no corner except such as
has been made by the lateness of the
new and the exhaustion of the old crop
of potatoes. N Y World.
