The press has commented upon tfs
shipment to California of eaatern pota-
toss. These veget.b4esar are v~ry inferior
to those grown here, for among our other
excellent productions the California po-
tato is peculiarly fine. 1t is mealy, and
when grown to a large size is not cavern
Gus in the middle, as is tho case with
nearly all large Eastern specimens. When
baked it does not ''fall" at ouce and get
sad, but stands up as light as a cream
puff for a long time. The reason for the
present importation of inferior potatoes
is that the rains last fall prevented the
digging Of the home crop In sufficient
quantities to supply the market, and the
same reason prevented the planting,
which usually gives us new potatoes in
abundance in February. Latest advices
from the undug potato fields of 1889 are
thst the potatoes left in the ground are
sprouting and springing up, and the
farmers are busy c~ultivating this self
planted crop. California will, before
many years, be a large exporter of pota
toes. in competition with the Bermudas,
b, supply the east in tho spring, when
the supply grown in that section is wilt
ed, sprouted and about as appetizing as
old bootheels.-San Francisco Alta.

Two Neapolitan brigands, vincenza
Cieco and Giuseppe Rosa, have been re-
Gently set at liberty after forty years
Imprisonment. 1t is impossible to de-
scribe their establishment at the sight Of
the railways, t~elegraphs, tramways and
other modern inventions, which had MOI
been dreamt of in their younger days
Still they are not happy. They complain
that when walking in the streets of
Naples they do not meet a single face
they know, not even that of a former
victim. Signor Crispi represents a patcr-
nal government; the forlorn condition OF
