RrIncinr Out q New Potato.

Some eminent botanists and prominent
seedsmen put their heads together two
years ago to produce o new potato. Our
family variety is by birth a native of the
high Andes, perhaps the very drieSt region
on the worlds surface. Ii occurred TO
these scientific persons that the terrible
disease to which the root has of late years
become liable, might be due to the fact that
it is extensively cultivated in the wettest
parts of Europe. Darwin, however, dis
covered a wild pOtatoe in the ChonOs Archl-
pelagO, off the southeast coast Of South
America, which fOuriShed naturally in the
wettest marshes. So Lord Cathcart
and his friends resolved to try to
harden the potato of commerce by
crossing it with the moisture loving kind.
Roots were procured from Kew and the
flowers fertilized from the best native
sorts. Seeds were thus obtained from the
Kew plants for the first time, and the
tubers developed surprisingly under cult
walton and proved of fair edible quality.
The plants grown from the hybrid seed
grains have just produced a fine crop both
in quality and weight. But q slight initial
error has somewhat spoiled the expert
ment. The Kew plant turns ont not to
have been a wet potato from the ChOnOs
Archipelago mt all, but only n wild variety
of the common kind. The men of science
must try again.-ERgiih Paper.

~. N,e,,,ssom.. p..hipx Girls.

The proper thing in girls this year Is
dashing and straight and strong. She
greets mankind with an imperious stare as
She strides along the streets with her chin
in the air, her shoulders well back and her
arms swinging TO and fro. This week set
tied it. The opera brought society back,
and the proper girl came romping home
with flashing eyes and the ruddy glow OF
perfect health showing through the nut
brown tan Of the summers campaign.
The elinging girl with tender eyes, the TO
mantle girl with yearning glare, the domes-
tic girl with purring voice, the brilliant
girl with her turgid French, the snug
Cling girl with her artful smirk and
the girl who chung to the skirt
of mamma-they are gone; all gone.
They went away in a futter, with timor-
Gus screams at the snort of the engine and
the rush of the burly world. Now they've
come back, but they're not the same. In
stead there is an army of lofty, gay, in
torpid, mettlesome dashiDg girls who
swagyer abroad with delicious feminine
audacity. and who have brought the
breeze of the mountain top, the salty
flavor of the oceans edge and the buoyant
air of the Berkshire hills into the very
heart of dirty, dusty and stale New York.
OF all the types that the town has seen
the girl of to-day, with her high bred
look, her dashing style and winsome as
sumption of manliness is far and away the
most fetching thing that the world at
large can show.-NsT York Cor. Pioneer

REBELLION IN THE REPUBLICAN
NJ

We notice that some of the Republican
papers of the State are not taking very
kindly to the HtsRigeReer's offer to put up
the party for sale to the highest bidder
and are kicking vigorously. Senator Nor
RIs, of the Richie Gazeiie, says of the
plan: "a good many Republican mem
bers will probably have convictions OF
their W on this subject, and this paper
is of the opinion that q majority OF them
will consider there is mighty little Repub-
icanism in such a notion
Mr.. MCCORMICK, OF the Grafton Eagle,
is more disguised still with the questiona-
BILE scheme of the party leaders. He says
among other things:
"Nor do We believe that any con-
~tingency can arise when tine interests oil
the Republican party and maintenance Of
Republican principles will require or even
permit the party's representatives voting
for a Democrat for Senator. The excuse
that Republicans cannot elect a Republic
can Senator will not Justify any n g What
WOulu DC lAoNShN VI N~NASA
saw to the rank and file, Vote for MIR. ~,
Democrat, inaSmUch u We canOt elect a
Republican. His election will cause dis
union in the Democratic party! n
becomes OF principle in such a case: y
= n x x Republicans cannot afford TO
assume the responsibility Of the election
of any Democrat To the Senate. II Is not
necessary that they should defeat Camden.
No doubt certain anti-Camden Democrats
would like to form a combination with Re
publicans 10 secure votes enough to elevate
themselves to the S~enatorship, but in this
they should be disappointed. Is 1t Cam
deus defeat they most desire or their own
election? Let them take the chances in
their own party
The Gazette and EdgIe have stood a good
many things in the past in the way of
their party's going back on its Princi-
Piles, but they think it is 10 time to call
a halt. They intimate that they have
Jared badly in the past aud are not likely
to do better in the future if they adhere to
the same policy. They think it would be
well to run the party on its principles for a
while, lust to see how it wOul6work. 1t
would no doubt he a spectacle for the
gods.

Betting In Prussia.

at will be remembered, " writes a cor
respondent of The Gaslois, that a few
years back the PruSsian Government en-
deayOred to suppress betting at horse
races. The decree was specially directed
against the bOOk-makerS who were logged
ut every race meeting and condemned 10
pay a heavy tine for what the authorities
pretended to look upon as unauthorized
lotteries. Later came the turn of the
totaliSatOr'-that is to say, the prac-
dcal suppression of even the Ordi-
nary bets between individuals. This
excess Of Puritanism has produced
the inevitable effects. The public became
less and less interested in matters relating
TO the turf. The race courses were a
desert and the quality of horses declined.
AT last the Emperor has felt compelled to
put a stop to this state of things. The
tnterdict has been raised. All may make
what bets they please Just as before; only
the bOokmakers are objected to. A strict
supervision will be exercised over these
gentlemen of the turf. and they will have
10 turn to an honest living If they want to
become popular again in the eyes Of the
ron chancellor and his subjects. "-F0reigR

GENERAL LOGAN.

The death of no prominent man within
the past year was more unexpected than
that of Gen. JOHN \. LOGAN, at Wash
ington, yesterday. But a few days ago he
was in the full vigor OF life, was doing his
accustomed work in the Senate, and was
looking forward to many more years in
which to add to his already long line Of
public honors, perhaps an election to the
presidency Of the Republic, for whose per
petuation he once led armies to battle.
Senator LOGAN, though not having at
tanned the prominence Of many other men
in the affairs OF the nation, has neyerthe-
less played an important part. He was
born in Jackson county, Illinois. Besides
a common school education, he graduated
at the Louisville University. lie cnliSttdas
a priyateiu the Illinois volunteers, and be-
came quartermaster in the wal with Mex
leo; was elected clerk Of the Jackson eOun-
ty court in 1919; studied and practiced
law: was elected to the legislature of Hi
nois in 1852, '53, 80, and 81; was prose
cutting attorney from 1855 to 1857; WAS
a Presidential electOr in 1850; was elected
to the Thirty-Sixth and ~Thirty-seyenth
Congress; resigned and entered the Union
army rs q colonel, and reached the rank of
m~aiOr-general in the war for the suppress
sion OF the rebellion; was appointed
Minister to Mexico in 1865, but declined;
was elected to the FOrtieth and FOrty-firSt
Congress; was elected to the United States
Senate aS a Republican, to succeed Rich
ard Yates, Republican, serving from March
;, 1871, to March !, 1S77; resumed the
practice of law at Chicago; WIS again cleo
ted to the United States Senate rs a Re
publican, to succeed L. J. OGLEsBY, Repub-
lican, and was reelected in 1SS3. In 1854
he was on the ticket for the Vice Presi-
cency with Mr.. BLAINE. His term of
office rs Senator would have expired in
1891.
Gen. LOGAN WAS the warm friend of
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, the great leader Of
the northern Democracy in the exciting
NeriOd that ushered in the civil war. At
this period he had already begun to show
liabilities as q leader. lie was then, rs he
has always been, a man Of strong cOnyic-
tions, and fiery impetuOuS, and extremely
bipartisan in maintaining his views against
This opponents. When he thought he was
fright he would hold to his opinion and
fight it through if every man in his party
twas against nim. This spirit was well
shown last winter when he refused to sur
render his manhood and join the gem
eral Republican onslaught upon Sena-
tor PAYNE, of Ohio, though the
tire-eaterS Of his party tried to overcome
him with threats, maledictiOns and every
thing else they could think Of Such n
spirit made him an ~implacable foe in q
war Of arms OF a war of words, though his
impetuOsity often Overcame his prudence.
Greater warriors have there been in our
republic and greater statesmen have there
been than Gen. LOGAN, yet his name will
hold an honorable place. Despite all his
imperfectiOns
Nature mightStandup
