How to Tell a Good Potato.
tseedtime and Har,ess.l

To distinguish good from bad po-
tato, take . sound one. pay no attention
to its outward appearance, but divide it
into two parts with sharp knife and ex-
anime the exposed inner surfaces. II
there u 20 much water or ''juice' that q
slight pressure would seeminly cause it
70 fall of in drops, you may be sure that
it will be soggy after it is boiled. That
Is evidence OF poor potato, and don't
you buy It. The following are the requi-
sites Of good potato: When cut into,
the color should be yelIowish white; IL
It is . deep yellow II will not
cook well. There must be con-
siderable amount Of moisture, though
not enough to collect In drops
and fall OF, even with moderate pres
sure. Rub the two pieces together, and
if It is good, a white froth will appear
around the edges aud also upon the two
surfaces after they are separated. This
signifies the presence Of proper guam
tity OF starch. The more froth then,
the better the potato; while the less
there 10 the poorer it will cook. The
quantity Of the starchy element may
also be judged by the more or less ready
adherence Of the two parts. If the ad-
herence Is sufficient for one piece to
hold the other mp, the fact Is evidence
Of good article. These are experiments
usually made by experts when buying
potatoes, and are the best that can be
given short Of boiling; but even they
are by no means infallible.

"I saw an item in the Post sew.
eral days ago. said an army Of
ficer yesterday, concerning Gen.
eral Sheridan's desire to avoid
notoriety, and also that only a
few anecdotes could be related oi
his public life. The story wai
correct. but not complete. The
General frequently relates . story
himself which | consider the
most amusing concerning
his military career. He told it
the other evening at . social
gathering, about as follows: In
al my life. gentlemen, ] will never
forget my FIRST visit to the State
Of Texas. I had been bumped
over its sterile plains for . week
in an ambulance. I was tired,
dusty and worn out. When /
reached my destination l found
some people there who wanted
me to talk and bs received and
oil that sort Of thing, before l
had . chance to get the sand out
Of. my eyes and ears. One fellow
was persistent. He asked me
with . pure American curiosity
what I thought Of Texas. In q
moment Of worry and annoyance
l said IL I owned hell and Texas /
would live in the former and rent
out the latter. The fellow who
asked me the question proved to
be . reporter. The next day what
\ had said was in print and l
neser could stop it. You may
naturally believe" added the Of
icer. 10 the Post, "that the Gen.
erals story created considerable
amusement. The General is Q

President Fish now says that he did
not mean to charge that Gen. Grant
had any guilty knowledge of fraud in
the Government contracts, but simply
intended to say the letters received
from Gen. Grant were of such tenor
as to warrant any one having conf
dence in the representations made by
Ward. John ID. Fish said his father
regarded Gen. Grants position in re-
gard to Wards transactions as similar
to his own. Both of them were mis-
led to the extent of trusting entirely
to what was said by Ward.
