potatoes In the Mill or house. SO as to
fill all the interstices, is excellent. We
have kept potatoes sound, sweet and
dry until potatoes ''come again" by
packing in barrels and filling with dry
sand. The sand tends to prevent sud-
den changes of temperature, it absorbs
and equalizes moisture, and probably
prevents mechanically the spread of
the fungus spores throughout the bulk.
The simplest and cheapest way to hill
is as follows: Dig when the ground is
dry, If possible, about the time of first
frost, but don't wait for frost if it de-
lays coming; drive postin the ground
and saw off about four feet high; cover
the ground thicl,ly with dry Pine
straw; place the potatoes carefully,
pi ing them as steep as they will lie,
and about twenty-five bushels to the
hill; cover the potatoes with pine
straw or dry corn-stalks, regu-
larry laid, not less than six inches
deep; cover over all with dirt dug from
around the outer edge of the hill, at
the first rather shallow, but adding
more dirt as cold weather approaches
until the earth is foot thick at every
point.

product. 1t is remarkable that this,

liability to rot in the winter. The sew

banking, killing and housing are
based upon few simple principles

viz: that the potatoes should be dug
about the time killing frost is ex-

they should be handled so as to pre-

 Rev. s. D. Paine preached to his old con gregation at the East Side N. E. church last night from Heb. 11-24 The self-sacrifce and heroism of Moses, in which he spoke of the deep and abiding impression that self sacrifice and self-denial makes upon the human beast. Poets and orators have al- ways done homage to it's moral beauty and grandeur.
 Moses surrendered the three things men love the most-power, wealth and pleasure. All these things were possible to him. He made the sacrifice at the time of life when he could appreciate and enjoy these things when he had come to Jesus"-he was actuat. ed first by faith in God. second by hope ot future reward.
 Mir. Paine closed by speaking of the three great funerals he had witnessed; first of the Duke of Wellington in London, Lord Rag Ian the commander of the English army on the Crimes and our late commander, Genera Grant, and compared the funeral of Moses which was grsnder than that ever accorded to mortAls God buried him.

Connecticut and she monttor.

Hon. Henry 0. Robinson, in an eloquent address delivered by him at South Ranches ter on Memorial day,spoke as follows regard ing one of the most notable events of the war for the Uunion;
 And our little state has right to a larger share of glory in John Ericsson's success than any other. That success was due to the energy, faith and enterprise of one Con- necticut friend of the Union. His strategy led Ericsson to Washington against his ex- pressed determination, and if he was coa1ed there by fraud, it was at least pious fraud. His financial credit and practical skill made the little turreted iron-olad a ship upon the waves, instead of model in Eriosson'e office. He followed our Connecticut states man, the secretary of the navy, the Hon. Gi 6eon Welles, with g persistence which at least gained hearing from that large brained man. He inspired his representative in con gresa, who was a prominent member of the house naval committee and a patriot all through the war, and to whom Connecticut has since given her highest honors, Governor James E. English. He at last got the Presi- dent himself to say with characteristic hu- mor that he believed of the invention as the western girl did of her new stocking which she had just en-"that there was something in it." That Connecticut man should be re- membered to-day with profound gratitude anu uoHoF, nOt oniy III ouE colALAoh"cnAUA, but wherever brave hearts revere the memory of the noble Swede. Let me commend him to your hearts, and let every son of Con- necticut when ke remembers John Ericsson and the Monitor, honor the name of that truehearted lover of the boys in blue, Cor neIious s. Bushnell of New Haven.
 It is not an odd coincidence that, while next to Ereisson Connecticut Bushnell is to be credited with the Monitor, in the war for independence to chief inventor of marine and submarine topedoes, and turtles, and kegs, to worry the british, was another Con necticut Bushnell, David Bushnell of Say brook. The name of Bushnell has been Q good one for Connecticut, for our country, and for the world.

TEE sRCOND,s TRIP.

Details of the Trip to Providence and
 Newport which the Soldier Boys VIII Make.
 There is much interest in military society about the coming trip of the second regiment to Providence, which takes place next week Thursday. It is thought that each of the companies will turn out fair number of men.
 The steamer Elm City will leave Belle dock at ten o'clock and to each company will be assigned five state rooms for officers and privates will bunk upon the floor. They will arrive in Providence about six o'clock in the morning and be received by the Provi- dence Light infantry. At noon they will have shore dinner at Silver Springs. They will parade in the afternoon and Saturday night will sail for Newport, where the morn ing will be spent in sight seeing. At one o'clock the steamer will sail for this city and is due here about eight in the evening. The fare is $5.50 for the round trip and, as Fri day is field day, 2.30 will be deducted from this, as each soldier receives this amount for turning out on this day. It will be an en- joyabie excursion.

It was impossible to get quota tion for any security except 1t brought in by messenger from the floor of the exchange. Fancy the feelings of disgust the operators experienced when they found that, instead of directly feeling the pulse of the market through the tape they could not learn what going except by the slow and old fashioned method of communicating with the board by messenger. And to make matters worse, most of the private wires to Boston, Chicago and other centres had been thrown down by the storm. so that the exchange was more nearly insulated than at any time in the past quarter of century.
