A White Yam OF Cuba.

A New Jersey farmer brought to a
friend, who is commission merchant
in Reade street, one day last week, u
white sweet potato, which the enter
prising Jerseyman had grown in the
rich, black soil OF the Hackensack bot
tom. Il was nothing more nor less
than the "buneato, or the white yam
of Cuba, which the farmer wished to
demonstrate to his neighbors could be
grown on Jersey soil. and he did so.
Now he predicts that in few years
this delicious vegetable, grown across
the North river. viii be as common in
tho markets of this city as its North
Carolina cousin, Heretofore the Gu
bans of this city who wanted to eat a
genuine ''buneato" had to seek out a
Fulton street merchant of their own
nativity who, for the benefit of his own
countrymen, keeps on hand, besides
the Cuban sweet potatoes, unlimited
supplies of "calmoitos, guanabanos,
"sappadilloes, pomegranates and many
other kinds of tropical fruit but little
heard of in this zone. ---New York Trib-

Advice to "Palm."

Ex-Controller Allen Campbell, whose
name has frequently been mentioned
as a probable dock commissioner, is
noted for telling n good story. Here is
one of the late Commodore Wander
bilt he told me few days ago:
"When Vanderbilt went abroad dur
ing the civil war he was entertained by
many notables in England Among
the guests at one OF the big houses be-.
sides the Commodore was Lord Pail
merston. The English premier waS
quite taken with Vanderbilt, who was
one Of the handsomest Americans who
had ever visited that country. But
his conversation was not always carried
on in the purest English. In discussing
American affairs Lord Palmerston told
the commodore something concerning
n dispatch he had sent 70 tho United
States government. The later listened
very attentatively until Lord Palmer
ston had finished and then astonished
everybody by this advice;

Not Married.

Not Married.
The man who has never married
views life in way entirely different
from his mated brother
He has an experience widely dis.
similar.
The first business OF his life must be
to learn how to sew on buttons. and
how TO manage his boardinghouse mis-
tress-
He must also learn that a hot soap
stone is necessity on cold nights, and
that when he is mad he viii have to
swear Mt himself and be Satisfied.
He feels no interest ia the best way
TO build house. He does not stop in
the biting cold of Christmas week to
look into the shop windows TO sec, what
he thinks his wife would like for
Christmas present He does net go
home nights with his pockets stuffed
full Of toys and bon-bons for the chill
dren.
His whislSers are never sticky with
molasses from the fingers OF the demon
strative young rascals who climb on,his
knee to kiss him with wad OF naolasses
candy ia one hand, and tease him for
new tops, and "a sled like Jim's."
He can stay out as late nights as he
pleases; there is no body to care or
question why.
He does not know the aspect of
milliner's bill. He is never asked to
take up carpet, or set up a stove.
He does not have to go down to the
pump in the still hours of the night TO
get some water for one of the chill
dren.
He has the whole bed TO himself, and
can sleep in the middle OF it, and turn
over fifty times If he wishes, and have
nobody complaining that he has pulled
all the bedclothes onto the floor.
He can snore. He can talk in his
sleep.
He can lie abed until ten O'Clock, and
no fault found; that il he pays his
bcerd promptly, and does not grumble
at the hash.
He can smoke all he wants to, and
drink champagne without the risk of
an inquisitiye nose seeming his breath,
and plaintive voice wanting TO know
what he can be thinking Of drinking
that expensive wine, and those poor
children suffering for shoes and under
fannelsi'
He never has mother-in-law. He
is never called upon to help his wife's
poor relations. He is never Jealous.
Handsome men have no terrors for
him. He does not have to get his life
insured for the benefit of his wife, that
she may start out in good style with
her second husband.
He can eat onions. He can oil his
hair. He can leave his old boots on the
bureau. He can run for congress with
out fear that the opposition party viii
accuse him Officiating his wife. He has
no ungrateful sons to call him the "old
man" and the governor" He has no
pretty daughters to elope with the
coachman. There are no pug dogs,
nor poodles, nor ladies' maids 70 board
in his establishment.
There is nobody TO put his things out
