There were no aerie til In r.i I papers as
we now understand them, if indeed
tiiore be i't- even r.ox of the popular
charocUT, rrr-hinj almost every t'arrn
er'a hornc, th.it America presents. No
one kr.cTv anything of potato diseases
or di3a-JC3 of any kind ; no one knew
or had any idea of the approach of
disaster; and when it conn; it was all
1 no one was prepared nith an
extra crop to supply any deficiency.
Such an event na a great famine
like that which followed in Ireland,
and to some- extent in Knjland, on
the f.uinro of the potato, is impossible
in three days of agricultural 1 terat ire.
Thore is no better illustration of this
than in the history of the Colorado
potato-beetle, and the prospects of
the crop to-dv. Thousands and
tho 11-3 U. nds of bushels of jiotatoe have
been destroyed, or at least would have
been raised, that were not. solely on ,

plague ; and yet the price of potatoes
has not materially increased during
tue pait
twenty yeai'S. As trouble
originates
it is made known and dis
cussed by the agricultural press, its
cause and cure exposed and large
quantities planted iu the uninfected
districts, to take fhe place of those
likely lo be destroyed. In this way
the equilibrium is maintained, prices
kept at near uniform standard, and
absolute wnntkert away.
The potatto crop of the present sea
son is also a capital illustration of
these truths. The information ?o
widely spread of the advance of the
inject, has led to an immense planting
in some of the eastern Stat03. The
northern Rcaltotiril fc'tates, usually plant
lartro quantities of these roots, as the
facilatics for cheap water transporta
tion ij a great advantage over the
planting f:tr in the interior. Hut this
year, as v,e have on good authority,
there ha Wen much more land given
to potatoes than there has boen for
Kouie years, in spite of the dry weath
er experienced in many districts, which
sorui what injured the crop, and the
i-oniplete loss by inserts in others, the
pro.-pects are, that the market will be
as well filled as ever next season, and
iiu ie win in no material increase in I
piico. It is of course to soon to tell I
ct how much, if at all. the crop will I

Whitewashing. There is nothing
a woman is more deeply concerned in
than her whitewashing, or nothing she
is so conceited aliout as her owri ef
forts iii that line, if it doesn't "streak."
To keep it from "streaking" i9 hrr
highest amhition, and when she has
succeeded, every woman within a mile
is dragged to see it, and her unfortu
nate husband 13 forced to admire it
until he hurts his neck. Every woman,
too, has a natural desire to sec her
husband white-wash. When she hr.s
a job of it on hand she invariably prof
fers it to him with a strong expression
of d'ulL in his ability to perform it
a distrust he hastens to confirm with
a cheerful alacrity. Man'? antipathy
t whitewashing .arises ma nly from
having at some time or another step
ped on the handle of a white-wash
brush reposing across a pail, thereby
throwing about two tpiart"? of the mix

Perspiration.
The amount of liquid natter which pasres
through the microscopical tubes of the skin
in twenty-four hours, in any adult person
of sound health, is about sixteen fluid ounces,
or one pint. One ounce of the sixteen is
solid matter, made up of organic and inor
ganic substances, which, if allowed to re
main in the system for a space of time would
cause death. The rest in water. Besides
the water and solid matter, a lanre amount
of carbonic acid, a gaseous body, passes
through the tubes ; so we cannot fail to un
derstand that they are active workers, and
also we cannot fail to see the importance of
keeping them in perfect working order, re
moving obstructions by frequent application
of water, or by some other means.
Suppose we olistruct the functions of the
pkin perfectly by varnishing a person com
pletely with a compound, impervious to
moisture. How long will he live? Not
over six hours. The experiment was once
tried on a child in Florence. Pope Leo, the
tenth, on the occasion of his accession to the
papal chair, wished to have a living figure
to represent the Golden Age, and so he
gilded a poor child all over with varnish
and gold leaf. The child died in a few
hours. If the fur of a rabbit or the skin of
a pig be covered with a solution of India
rubber in naptha, the animal ceases to
breathe in two hours.
IJons.
Bows is a young man of lazy and easy
habits. He is a graceful young man. He
can owe a tailor's bill with more grace than
Count D'Orsnj, and put hiin off when , he
presents his bill with a suavity so delicions
that the tailor feels like trusting him some
more when be pays that last account.
Bows is a married man. Ills wife prevailed
on him to go to church. The minister
preached an eloquent sermon, and its telling
truths would have brought tears into the
eyes of Bows, but that he rememWed that
his supply of clean handkerchiefs was lim
ited to one. The text of the sermon moved
Bows most of all. It was, "Goto the ant,
thou sluggaid." He went home pondering
deeply over this text, and next morning he
packed his trunks, took all his family in
cluding his mother-in-law and the tame
parrot nnd called on I N aunt nnd stayed
for two months. Now he is hunting for
that mini-tcr. He wantn him t preach
something as interesting almut his uncle, or
his grand father, or any of his cousins. The
aunt, too, wants to see that minister. She
just want to give him a piece of her mind.
One piece of it is that 'he is a cablmge
hcaded old fool, who is aliout as able to
preach sene as she is to build a railroad
across the Atlantic ocean."
An Enterprising Agent.
An agent with a satchel tinder hk wu.
ei.'cred one of our banking houses the other
day, and presenting himself before the book
keeper, he thus legan .
"Fardon me, sir, for intruding, but I
wish to show you my world-renowned salvt
which has attracted much attention from the
crowned hejcls of Europe for the marvelous
manner in which it cures corns, warts, sore
ryes, Jmi!s, and will make the beard grow in
f irtj'-eight hours try a box, sir?"
B'X.kkec-per "No, sir; I have a beard,
and none of the other complaints."
Agent ''But, dear sir, it makes a fine
grease for a carriage."
B- "I can't afford to keep a carriage, so
get out."
A. "Only one word now: this salve can
be used as a subtitnte for butter, being
harmless, warranted not to injure the most
delicate constitution. How mauy boxes,
sir?"
Exit agent in a very rapid-transit manner,
closely followed by a paper weight and
several words of comfort from his friend the
keeper of books.
How the Indians Dun.
The Hartford Courant evolves the follow
ing theory :
"There has been some philological doubt
as to the phrase 'After him with a sharp
stick.' It may have occurred to many that
the 'sharp stick' referred to is the much
feared 'January bill.' And it would seem
there was some ground for this. The Nee
shenan Indians of California have not the
brutal and disagreeable habit prevalent
among us of sending dunning bill. When
one Indian owes another, it is considered
bad taste, as it Is, for the creditor to dun
the debtor. He proceeds with more delicacy.
He procures a certain amount of sticks, ac
cording to the amount of the debt, and
paints a ring around the end of each.
These he carries, tosses into the debtor's
wigwam, and then goes away without a
word. The debtor pays the debt and de
stroys the sticks; it is considered a reproach
to have dunning sticks thrown into the wig
wam, and the creditor never uses them ex
cept with hard customers."
Anonjmons Letters.
It is impossible to foresee all the injury
which may be done by an anonymous letter,
while any good which it may accomplish
can usually be effected by other and prefera
ble means.
An old man mmed Jones was murdered
at South Oyster Bay, last June. A brain
Southard, of Freeport, had suspicions that a
colored man was implicated in the crime,
and the plan which suggested itself to his
mind for unravelling the mystery was for
him to write an auonmous letter on the
subject.
Unfortunately the handwriting of Mr.
Southard resembled that of a half-brother
of the murdered man so closely, that experts
concluded that the anonymous letter had
boon written by this half-brother, who was
thereupon arrested, and only released after a
long examination and on the testimony of
the real author of the letter.
It is a safe rule, and one to be strictly
adhere.! to, that a letter fit to be sent is fil
to be siirned.
A Brooklyn young woman, who aban
doned her old husband, says: "He was too
soft. I couldn't be bagging and kissing
him all the while
'"J iuvonvu I
I couldn't bear to sit on bis lap and cud- j
dio him very time I wanted a cent."
