The Retired List.

The action of the Senate on the
Army bill will evidently result in pre-
venting a serious injustice to retired
officers holding civil places under the
Government. 1t appears that the
action OF the House was wholly di-
rected at two officers, General Rose
Grams and General Badly Smith. This
was frankly stated in the debate by
some of the Senator's. Mr.. Frye used
the following language: II agree
entirely with the Senator from Texas
[Mr. Reagan] that it is an outrage to
pay General Rosecrans 81, 1875 u year

In tbs TireliRht

The fire upon the hearth Is low,
And there Is stiffness everywhere;
Like troubled spirits here and there
Tho freight shadows Tutoring go,
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childless treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from further room
Comes: NOW lay me down to sleep"
And, somehow, with that littlo prayer
And that sweet treble In my ears,
My thought goes back to distant years
And fingers with dear one there:
And as hear the child's amen,
My mothers faith comes back to me-
Crouched ut her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh for an hour in that dear place!
Oh for the peace Of that dear timel
Oh for that childish trust sublimei
oh, for glimpse Of mothers facet
Yet Us the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic Of that trembling tone
And, snow lay me down to sleep"

Potato Growing Profitable.

There is probably no farm crop In
which inexperienced farmers suffer
greater disappointments than in pota-
toes. They read in the papers OF large
yields, and observing that the market
price is high, a great many rush into
the business. and Of course overdo it.
This is cause number one. Potato Gull
ture in these times requires q great
fund Of practical experience. 1t also
requires the man who begins 1t to be
prompt with every demand, whether
1t be in cultivation. in bug poisoning,
and in late years in spraying the vines
to prevent mildew and blight. which
are the usual causes OF rotting OF the
crop. 1t Is no wonder with so many
things to attend to that some are neg
lected. Hence potatoes are commonly
deemed precarious crop. Acc den Is
OF season excepted, they need not be.
We believe it possible every year to
grow potato crops that will pay larger
profit than any grain crop, provided
the proper conditions are fulfilled.
In the first place. the farmer who
would grow potatoes extensively must
be near market, by which we mean
good shipping station. where there
is enough competition to insure fair
prices. Farmers who are within three
or four miles Of freight cars can draw
two and sometimes three loads per
day. When the distance is so far that
only one load per day can be drawn,
1t ADDS heavily to the expense OF mar
keting, and requires high price to
make the crop pay. This high price
cannot always be depended on. Every
few years the potato market is liable
to be glutted, and only those who keep
expenses down so as to be able to
market cheaply can come out without
loss. Am. Cultivator.
