The Peabody Bonds.
Nashville American.

In the June platform of the Ten
nessee Democratic party, il was pro-
vided that bonds of the State owned
by educational institutions should
be paid in full, with the interest to
date. The Peabody Institute Of
Baltimore owns 800 OF these bonds,
and is pressing the Legislature OF
this State to pay them in full.
Eighty-seven of these bonds were
issued in 1888 and fell due in 1868.
The remaining 2l3 were issued in
1866; both bear interest. Mr.. Pea
body advised the Trustees of that
Institute to dispose of their Nation
al bonds and hold those issued by
the State Of Tennessee, relying upon
the interest to sustain the Institute,
as his confidence in Tennesseans
and the resources of the State was
implicit. AT this moment not only
is the sinterest withheld, but the
principal itself is on the point of be-
ing scaled.
If there is "debt proper" the
sacred discharge of which is to save
our reputation, this would seem to
be embraced by it. These bonds
are not war bonds. They were is
sued by common consent, disposed
of at par, and the benefits directed
to matters affecting the material in
terests of the State. But above and
beyond all else, il will well become
us to bear in mind that Tennessee
has received from the Peobody fund
within few thousands of as much
money as this debt amounts to or
$260,000. We are daily, and in
the most affective manner, enjoy
ing direct benefits from this fund,
as is familiarity known to every
member of the Legislature. Now,
can we afford to scale these bonds?
Can we afford to question the fullest
obligation they imply?
1t has been given out that any
man showing a fair debt against
this State shall have his full pound
offiesh; that ID was to him only
who held bonds outside of the
estate debt proper" that full settle
ment would be denied. Therefore,
1t would seem that an obligation
here is clear and unavoidable.
"The request Is Ia reasonable One,n
says the Baltimore Sun a paper of
influence at home of this institute,
"for ii would be a sorry reflection
on the conduct OF so populous and
prosperous a State If Its people
should so far forget their obliga-
tions to Mr.. Peabody as to scale
with one hand the three hundred
thousand dollars in bonds which he
gave to the Peapody Institute Of
Baltimore for educational purposes
while receiving with the other an
annual sum for educational purpos-
es as free gift from the Peabody
fund, besides expecting to receive
from the principal of the fund, II 1t
is distributed as authorized, at the
end of thirty years, half million
of dollars. We do not think il adj
visable to refuse full payment OF
these bonds.n

To cUt Potatoes For Seed
New England Farmer.

If the new doctrine that has been
promulgated from the New York
Experiment Station concerning the
philosophy of potato cutting by
single eyes, shall prove applicable
to ordinary farm practice, there
will be call for new machine to
do the work of cutting and plan
ting in q more scientific manner
than the cutting principle now IN
use by some of our potato planters.
1t is too early, yet, however, to de-
termine just how great influence
the method of cutting may have on
the crop.
DIR. Sturtevant has been dissec-
ting the potato, and finds 1t put to-
gether something like the cone of a
pine tree, the buds or eyes of the
potato being connected by a sort of
umbilical cord with the center of
the potato, at which point is the
core or central stem. These inter
nal stems or veins may be plainly
seen in the raw potato by cutting in
thin slices from stem to seed end,
and holding up to the strong light
of lamp. The appearance will be
something like the frost work on
our window panes on winter morn
ings. After the starch grains are
busted by cooking, these veins prob
ably disappear or are less visable.
The new theory is, that the pOta-
to should be cut so as to keep the
connection between the eye and tho
center of the tuber. The expert
ments for the past season showed
that an eye cut shallow in every
case, gave a smaller yield than
when it was cut long or deep, 80 as
to reach the center of the potato.
The subject will receive the at
tention OF potato growers the COM
ing season, and If the new theory
proves correct, there will be more
care used in cutting seed potatoes in
future years.

Rare Twin Diamonds.

Carefully guarded in the safe of n

pair of old Indian mine diamond, cut in
cushion shape, weighing eight and a
half carats. Each are of a remarkable
pale blue color. Their tint is far deep

than the sapphire blue of the celebrated
Hope diamonds. They are so full of
lire that many pure white diamond is

blue is precisely the same in each In

identical. The early history of the
twin diamonds is VIZ spped in mystery.
That they are very old can not be doubt
