One of the chief necessities of English speak

teen a set of good commentaries., or jlitpOn , ci..
pal books of the Old Testilid'eni. tretiliL
.
tions of good German commentaries have not
generally been undertaken; and, l'aince. the Lillie .
of Bush's admirable volumes on the Pentateuch,
we hare had nothing either British•nr American
to meet this want, until a few months ago. Then
appeared Dr. Jacobus, of this Slit% oe. lenesis t
and now, more recently, tbe,w 4 o,rksDf: .tholeifagi,
Professor. Dr. Murphy is as'earitesli. believer
as he is a thorough scholar. He writes in full
view of modern difficulties and objent ! ions ). 4jtioh
he meets with brevity, fairness-and force. He is
not afraid of having the truth come out, in, any'
quarter or by any means. The open display of Sahel-,
arship strictly so-called,. is exceedingly limited.
At the head of each section, a few "prominent
words in the original are quoted and briefly ex
pounded; then follows a revised translation i the
commentary proper comes last, the design of
which is, in the words of the writer, "to explain
the momentous import of the historical . factS re
corded, to mark their bearing' on the highestin 7
terests of man, and to unfold ,thegreat principles
of ethical and theological truth" which they
contain. Thus (petitions of philosophy and ver
bal criticism are comparatiVeli little . 'considered,
conflicting opinions are not Set in array, but
rather the conclusions of the writer are stated
with refreshing brevity and clearness. Thus
while based upon a thorough scholarship, the
commentary is admirably fitted for the plainest
readers, Sabbath-school teachers will find it an
invaluable aid. We are sorry the book is so
handsomely executed, typographically. Many a
pour minister and Home Misiienary. will, be
compelled to forego the great pleasure and profit
of possession.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1867.
" Breaking Away" is the second of the Starry
Flag series, and describes the adventures of
nearly a whole school who, on account of the
gross injustice of one of the teachers, betook
themselves to an uninhabited island, where, of
course, they had many stirring adventures, and
did many astounding feats in proViding for their
wants, and in foiling the attempts to recapture
them. Nothwithstanding the writer's protest in
the preface, it is at least an open question wheth
er such tales of insubordination do not tend to
stimulate similar feeling in the minds of restless,
youthful readers. Both Volumes are very hand
soniely sound' and illustrated.

THE POTATO
The importance of the Potato as a staple
market commodity, is enhancing in mirth
greater ratio than that of any other agricul
tural production, as will be seen by a com
parative view of the statistical returns.
This fact, taken in connection with the de
struction, by the rot, of so large a per cent
age of the crop of the last summer, will im
part much interest to the following notice
of certain varieties, for which we are in
debted to the Practical Farmer, a valuable
agricultdral and horticultural paper, recent
ly established in this city by Paschall Mor
ris, a well-known veteran of the rural pro
fession. =
THE EARLY GOODRICH
This seedling originated with the late
REV. C. E. Goonarcfr, in 1860. He pro
duced it from the Cuzco, and when only
two years old, made the following memo
randum of it : " Round to longish, sometimes
a crease at the insertion of the root; color
white; vines and leaves much as the Cop
permine ; flowers bright lilac, produces many
balls; yield large. Table quality is already
very good. This sort is number one, every
way.
The decision thus early come to by the
originator has since been thoroughly con
firmed—it is-succeeding everywhere, and is
probably', the most valuable of all the new
sdedlings' ac . coant of combining very
early '-maturity, .fine quality, and -extraordi
nary productiveness. It has produced over
three hundred and fifty bushels to the acre,
and while as early as the earliest, also re
tains its fine quality late in the season. On
cooking, it proves white, dry, and mealy.
The introduction of this; and other of the
Goodrich seedlings, is worth many millions
to the country. The: Early Goodrich and
others of them, in 'this very, unfavorable sea
son, have escaped the rot so far as we have
heard.
The history of these valuable seedlings. is
another instance of the great benefits con
ferred on practical agriculture by persons
outside the profession.
GOODRICH died about three years since,
never having received sufficient to compen
sate for the time and money expended in his
potato experiments. The testimonial of
seven hundred dollars from the State of
New York, was the only pablic'donation he
ever received. lie was a long time in fail
ing health, and till within a Sew months of
his decease, occupied the position. of Chap
lain to the InSane AsylUm,at - Utica, New
Yore ,Auxjag his connection with this in-
stitution he devoted all his unoccupied time
to agricultural pursuits and improvements.
His tastes were scientific, and he was par
ticularly fond of the natural sciences ; a
most careful observer of facts, and exceed
ingly inethodical . in preserving a record of
them, 'and arranging them with a view to
future comparison and,-the lessons to be
drawn from them. He kept most full and
careful 'records 'of the weather and the , daily
appearance of growing plants, so as to be
able to trace the , influence of the tempera
ture and atmospheric changes upon them.
When the potato disease first manifested
itself, his attention was aroused to find out
its cause and the - proper remedy. He com
menced a most minute examination of the
growth of the potato .plant under different
circumstances, and the phenomena conse
quent upon it - Under 'different .degrees of
temperature and of 'dryness of the atmos
phere and, changes from one condition
,to
another of weather. A series of these
observations extended through a - period of
two or, -three years, led to the belief that
the, plant, by long cultivation under condi
tions not natural to it where it was indige,
nous, had become, enfeebled and incapable
of resisting' atmospheric changes. , which ,
would not affect a plant newly taken froin
its habitat; He therefore concluded that
seed obtained from tubers grown upon the
elevated pining of South America, where
the potato originated, might be expected to
produce new varieties of greater vigor, to,
supply the'place of those failing.'', A barrel
of potatoes raised in Chili, obtained at Pana
ma, and brought across the Isthmus itt'ah
expense of some two hundred dollars, just
before the railroad was built there, enabled
him to commence the series of experiments
which were continued, up to his death. His
general titan, been - given to the
public in all its details in his printed circu
lars and Transactions of the - New :York
-
State. Agricultural Society, was to raise,
plants from the seed obtained from the ball,
plant the tubers produced from it, 'observe
their growth, keeping a careful record of the
appearance of each, rejecting every feeble or
unhealthy or otherwise unpromising . plant
—gather the tubers in the Fall, and if found
of indifferent quality, discard.them and pre
serve only such as indicated valuable quali
ties. In additionito the plants raised from
the seed of the original Chili potatoes, he
saved seeds of their progeny, and pursued
the same system with their product Fre
quently he produced tubers which, for three
or four years, would be very promising, and
then develope some feature which rendered
them, in his- opinion, unworthy of cultiva
tion. He therefore came to regard no pota
to a safe one to give to the public until at
least five years from the seed. The Garnet
Chili was the only one of fifteen hundred
seedlings of the year it was produced.
The other most approved Goodrich Seed
lings are Harrison, Gleason, Garnet Chili,
Cuzco, Andes, Pink-eye, Rusty-coat.
THR MONITOR
-There _has—been_ eur_ious- devettigmeßt
lately in this section about Monitor pota
toes. The true Monitor is a seedling, origi
nated by D. A. BULKLEY, of Massachusetts,
from a' seed-ball of a potato called Prince of
Wales, fertilized by some other variety. A
Monitor potato has been very highly es
teemed here and largely cultivated, especial
ly in New Jersey, from whence for the last
two fall seasons, very large quantities have
been brought in wagons and sold along our
streets. They have been considered a first
rate potato, boiling white, dry, and mealy,
and have found ready sales among our citi
zens, many of whom laid them in for their
winter supply. They seemed to promise to
be our best late potato ; averaging very large
in size, in shape usually quite long, and with
very deep-seated eyes, which was rather ob
.
'ectionable.
They were universally known by the
name of Monitors, or Monitor Mercers, or
Jersey Monitors.
As stated in our last number, thew) pota
toes the present season have very badly rot
ted—quite as badly as the Mercer. Acres
of them have been ploughed down, without
any attempt to gather.
About the time they were introduced here,
a barrel or two of Monitors were obtained
by. SAMUEL S. SHARPLESS, of Philadelphia,
and planted on his farm. in Chester county,
direct from BULKLEY himself. These pota
toes, so obtained, proved on arrival, as well
as all their produce since, to be essentially
different in appearance from what was
known and considered as the true Monitor
—being comparatively smooth, on the sur
face, with shallow eyes, not so-long, and thick
er in the centre. They were also very fine
in quality. The other potatoes having been
first known and much valued, these latter
were considered spurious ; and it was con
tended that some accident or substitution in
some unexplained way had occurred, so
that there was a fear of putting them out
under this name, and consequently very few
were planted. On several farms, however,
they have been planted in rows side by
side with the others, and as all sham things,
no matter what appearance or show they
may make under favorable circumstances,
always fail in time of trial, so it has been with
the Monitors.
The genuine article from BIILICLEY him
self has not rotted.; but is sound and healthy
as the Early Goodrich; while the others, in
adjacent rows, have all vanished. This
shows they are radically different potatoes,
and that the differences could not have - been
produced by change of soil or climate.
The question now recurs—What is - this
Jersey Monitor, and where did it come from ?
We hope some of our readers will help us to
find this out.
NEW SEEDLING
Our friend, IX T. HEEFRON, of.U.tipt, New
York, well known in connection with the
introduction of Goodrich's seedling potatoes,
recency left with us a speetmen of a .new
early pptato, which he has
j cirigi'nated from;
the seed' ball of the Garnet` Dili
seed was sown five years ago, and has de
veloped into a new and valuable variety, to
which he has given the name of Early Rose.
He has tested them alongside of Early
Goodrich, and they have proved fully ten
days earlier, and, equally productive. , As
only a few bushels have yet been raised,
they will dot Belli:141411'A aiothei sea
son.
The Early Rose is suffased over the sur
face with a stight and very delicate -blush,
is ()blank in shape, with shallow eyes—size
medium to large . fraying had , the specimen
left 'with us cOoked, we foetid it white; dry,
mealy, and of the beSt quality:
Miintiztmtitto.
THE FACTS AS viz
~ We began in 1861 to make 'Bi
iimeivEtammTs in the style and make of
Ready J fade Clothing, and continued
to do so, introducing new styles and
ideas every year, so that ;the entire
character of .the business is now vastly
better and totally different from the
systems o f ol der houses..'
.
Our first • idea is to learn.exactly
WHAT THE CUSTOMER_ WANTS, and,
instead of; persuading kin to buy
what may be• most conveniently at
`hand, tile take' the izinwit. , pdins to
-meet HIS wishes. . - .
The. Building,, we occupy is the
MOST CONVENIENT, LARGEST AND
BEST "ADAPTED for OUT business' of
any in Philadelphia:
Customer's - can SSE what they are
buying; ,our Establishment being on
ithe , corner of threelarge streets,•(Mar
ket, Sixth and Minor streets), Assn-
DENT - LIGHT is afforded from all
directions. A light store is far better
for customers than a dark one.
MERCHANTS KNOW that our sales
are larger than those of any other
house iii ' Phila., in our , line: hence
-we- have, to buy larger. quantities of
goods, and so get them at lower prices
specially NJ MS BHP ALTOGETHER
FOR CASH.. Buying cheapest, we
(Can SELL CHEAPEST.
We Closely EXAMINE every inch of
goods that comes into our Establish
ment, invariably rejecting all imper
fect, moth-eaten and tender, fabrics.
''The time wasted in looking over
the stocks of a dozen stores CAN BE
AVOIDED, for, under ONE ROOF, we
offer for sale an assortment equal in
variety and extent to that embraced
by a score ofthe ordinary houses.
..
f. We have 600. hands employed in the
manufacture of; Clothing, who are
constantly making up stock to take
the place of that daily sold: this
igives Our CUSIOIIieENV AND FRESH
goods to make sel2Aons from.
f It is an und — fact that this
ta*
Department, (a - Ball on our
second floor front* On Minor st.,)
has nothing in Philada. to EQUAL
IT. We have here concentrated 'the
best skill and workmanship and those
who prefer Clothing made to order
really have advantages they do not
receive elsewhere.
