Haftto rtato. Native potatoes Hare been discovered in Arison by Pro! Lemmoa. They were found in the cleft of one of the bigheet peaks north of the Apache Pose, under a tangle of prickly bushes and cacti. Eager to know if the Solamim found was bnlb bearing, he carefully uprooted the little tuber, which proved to be an undoubted representative of the true potato family. According to the researches and reasonings of Humboldt, this was the region to look for the home of the species from which our first potatoes sprang. In May last Prof. Lemmon again set out in search of more specimens, choosing the Huachuca Mountains as his point for exploration. These mountains have two peaks over 10,000 feet high, with sides furrowed into deep canons, those of the northeast being filled with trees, among which are maple and ash. In July last he discovered the potato plants he was searching for on tne southwest side of the range, hidden among the rich bottom soil of a dell in a high valley. A few plants of the white species were found in full bloom, and farther on blue blossoms were found. The white-flowered specimens formed tubers on shorter subterranean stems than the blue ones. The blue-flowered potato plants sait eff their runners from eighteen inches to two feet July 12 they Mere
m full bloom. The blossoms were large, and the white-flowered were of a creamy-wlute color, with greenish midribs to its corolla lobes. The subterranean atoms were not longer than those of our common potato. The blossoms of the blueflowered are smaller, bright purple, with pale-white midribs to the corolla, with fifteen to twenty flowers to a head. They are found at an altitude of about 8,000 feet in Tanner's Canon, and some of the plants were two feet high. Later in the season they produced potato balls of unusual size, comparatively speaking. The native species of potatoes, which may have been and very likely are the original native stock from which all our potatoes now used have sprung, deserve a fair trial and careful propagation to develop them to the size now attained by our best potatoes. By the 1st of 3Stemt8 the blue-flowered plants formed bluish-colored potatoes, oblong, about one and one-half inches long by half as wide, and a third as thick, with four to ten unmistakable potatoes on each plant. The wniteflowered plants produced white potatoes, nearly round, from half an inch to one inch in diameter. These potatoes are unquestionably indigenous. StflJ another variety was found near the summit of a peok10,000 feet high, under the shade of fir, pine, and poplar trees, growing in soil kept moist during the greater port of the yeai by melting snows. Its nodding balls of ripened seeds were surrounded by golden-rods and brilliant asters. Their tubers were tinted with purple, and seed balls were other solitary or in paifrs. Pro! Lemmon brought back with him over three quarts of these small potatoes, comprising the different varieties, besides some seed balls. A hermit in these mountains, whom Prof. Lemmon interested in his discovery, has recently written him that in digging up the bed of an o'd pond he has secured a lot of these potatoes, perfectly white, as large as hen's eggs, which cm being cooked tasted well, and have all the appearance of very fine potatoes. Various cultivators have manifested the utmost interest in Prof. Lemmon's discovery, and are making careful preparations to cultivate the specimens he has forwarded them. Pacific Rural Press.
Drtnuhtmg Cp the Accident Business. There are lawyers and lawyers. William M. Evarts or David Dudley Field, for mstance, probably would not hire runners to scour the hospitals for the victims of accidents and drum up business for the office. It is not known that Mr. Evarts or Mr. Field ever did such a thing, any way. But there are lawyers in New York who do it. A runner who has been in the business for several years was fired oat" of Bellevue Hospital the other day for trying to force a man whose leg had just been amputated to sign some legal papers, though the doctor had given orders that no one should be allowed to talk to the man at all. His method was to work up cases for certain lawyers who shaved the spoils with him if they succeeded in grabbing any. Victims of railroad accidents were the best gained, for a suit for damages is a thing tbat railroad companies will always settle if they can. The sufferer in Bellevue had been run over by a Third avenue car. After the firing out of the hospital runner I asked a lawyer if he thought there were others in the lousiness. 44 Why," he said, "there's lots of fellows in it, and they do hardly anything else. The first thing is to hunt through the morning papers for reports of accidents. Then they hunt up the injured persons at the& homes or in the hospitals, talk them half to death about good claims for damages and get them to sign some papers if they're able.. Then the ease is turned over to a scrub lawyer who threatens a suit, or actually brings a suit, and the runner gets a share of any plunder that results. The runner bounced from Bellevue claims to have secured $200,000 for crippled persons since he undertook the business. He forgets to say how much of the $ '00,000 the lawyers and himself have kept.

Linceln in Fine Clothes. The fastidious care with which the present Chief Magistrate is wont to dress, and the care with which his clothes Beem to fit him recalls the story of Mr. Lincoln's personal appearance when he was first maturated, whichn)ade a deep impression on those who witnessed it. He came out from the Capitol upon the platform erected over the eastern steps, with his natural awkwardness increased by the momentous circumstances of the occasion, and by m gorgeous wardrob?, in wiiich it was evident he felt exijeedingly uncomfortable. The stiff dress-coat, ve3t, and pantaloons of black brctvleloth were enough of themseles to disturb his
mental and physical equanimity, bt to these were added other intmrn braces in the shapcf a brand-new sflkOUtand a; ponderous gold-headed cane; . The cane Ire managed to: put a war in the corner, bat the disposition of the hat perplexed him greatly. It was too good to throw away, too nice, as he thought, to rest upon the rough
.boards, so for a minute, at least, poor
Lincoln stood there in the gaze of assembled thousands, grasping the hat desperately, and seeking in vain for a safe place to deposit it, Douglas, who sat immediately in the rear, saw the embarrassment of J lis rival, and rising, took the shining beaver from its sorely bothered owner, and held it during the delivery trf the inaugural address; The Millionaire. Who is this hard-working man ? This is the millionaire, the man who wanted to be rich and has got rich, and is getting richer every day. Is he the hapEier for it? Happy? Bless your soul, e's more miserable, fuller of cares and anxieties and harder worked than ever. He is the veriest slave of them all. He is pushed with business and business is pushing him. He has so many irons in the fire that some of them are burning his fingers while others are getting cold. His present life is a rush from the meeting of this board to that board and thence to some other board. He is director in this company and trustee in that and silent partner in another, world without end, and more coming. He hasn't time to eat, and hardly to sleep, and when he does lay his poor head on the pillow he can't stop business plans and schemes, hopes and fears, from whirling and whirring through it. He can't take a day to spend in quiet out of town, and if he could he would take all his business with him into the woods. He is a slave and a victim. His millions in bank don't bring him so much enjoyment as does a new 10-cent
piece g?.ven to a boy. 10 years old. Me s infected with the mania for getting, and the more he gets the more he wants. If you could see him just as he is and where he is inevitably going, and row he is going there, you would only pity him.

' Tlje Weakest Spot. "How is Mr. Yeast tin's morning V asked Crimsonbeak, as the two in question met at the ash barrel the other morning, each with a scuttle of ashes. "Well with the exception of a little cold in my back, " answered Yeast, dropping the coal scuttle as he felt a Colorado blizzard crawl down the center of his back. WI have a cold, too," replied the auburn Crimsonbeak, " but it is in my head. Whenever I get a cold it always seems to affect my head." "Yes, that's just what the doctor told me," rejoined the philanthropist, catching up his scuttle and starting for the house. "Whenever a person catches cold it is sure to affect the weakest spot. The scuttle aimed at Yeast's head came so near going down Mrs. Crimsonbeak's throat, who had come out to lbok after her husband, that there hasn't been any peace in tha t household since. Yonkers Statesman.
A Life-Line Ctaiu The gun is a simple contrivance, with a stock and trigger very similar to those of an ordinary musket. The barrel is about one and a half inches in diameter and fourteen inches in length. In its center is a tube a quarter of rn inch in diameter, through which the twine is placed and one attached to the stock, the remainder of the 150 feet of twine used being coiled in a sort of cartridge or canister sixteen inches long. The cartridge is hollow and fits in closely to the barrel and around the tube. It may be of paper or brass as desired. Powder is placed at the end of the cartridge, separated from it by a paper wad. A common cap is used to discharge it. It is fired into the windows or over the roof of a burning building.
Ought to Have Legs. "Pa, have moments got legs?" asked a 9-year-old. w5lo, my son. But why do you ask sudh a silly question?" "Haven't -they any feathers, either?" persisted the young hopeful. "No, my child, such things are well, what put such notions into your head ?" "Why, pa, I just now read of the spur of the moment, and I wondered how moments could have spurs like our rooster if they had. no legs." Newman Independent.

The greatest grief of love is the constant dread lest it leave us. Assisting1 Nature. It Is of no use attempting to force nature. She won't stand it, and rebels. She must be coaxed as it were, not driven. For instance, in attempt in to ore; come constipation or indigestion, violent, or what physicians call, by way of euphony, "heroic" treatment, is sore to defeat the purpose in view, which Is, or should be, to permanently remedy the evil. The use of drastic cathartics is especially to be deprecated, for although they temporarily overcome costiveness, yet the intestines ar3 Ro weakened and inflamed by them as to bo rendered unfit to perform theejective t mictions properly. How much better to assist nature in such a caas with such a mild and salutary aperient as Hostetter's Stomach Bittern, which strengthen at the same time that they relieve the bowels. Not only is this result achieved by their use, but the activity of the torpid liver restored, the stomach rnvtaorated, and the entire system greaiiy benefited.

A LITE AMERICAN UIBL ABROAD, A Marvelous Dream, Last summer I was "doing Ixmdon" as thoroughly as an American woman without escort can, when one morning, after catching prudent glimpses of what remains of the "St, Giles," immortalized by Hogarth or Douglas Jerrold, and of the "Seen Dials," I turned into New Oxford street (which is topped by Tottenham court road and ends at Mudie's Library). Walkfcg along towards Holborn I found myself involuntarily stopping before one of the prettiest fronts 1 had yet seen. Naturally 1 looked up and saw above the number 3 an aesthetic-looking sign against the front (for projecting signs are inadmissible in the groat metropolis), on which 1 read "Dr. Pierce's Medicines." At once I gave a little ejaculation of joy, and fairly rushed into the shop. Wbyllnud been during two whole days lamenting the awkwardness of a railway porter, who, in my transit from Southampton, after landing, had so carelessly handled ray "box" (trunk is nleo inadmissible in England) as to break not only my supply of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, that I had brought from New York, but all of his Purgative Pellets (so advisable to ladies in traveling) excepting bottle I had in my reticule. The clerk appeared to notice my satisfaction as I looked around and saw a portrait of Dr. Pierce, whose acquaintance I hod first made at a ball in the White House, when he was Congressman from the fine city of Buffalo, and saw pictures of its World's DiBfiensary building and of its Invalids' Hotel, ic which I had been a guest-patient (as well, let me add, as u patient guest) during a oourse of treatment with World's Dispensary medicines which had changed me from a nervous, dyspeptic fretful woman into the cheerful and healthful traveler I now found myself to be. The clerk was vastly polite as I told him what a surprise it was to me to find that the boons of my life time had found a home in London. "Why," he Interrupted, with a smile, "the medicines of which this is the European entrepot have won thousands of grateful patien as enthusiastic as you seem to be." Of oourse in a short time the mishap with the railway porter was forgotten, and, after giving an order for a new assortment of the "Golden Discovery" and "Pellets" sent to my lodgings in Bernal street, I was again threading my way through the London crowds. Fatigued with the day's exercise and enjoyment 1 retired early to bed, and with the pleasant incident of Oxford street well to the fore in my mind as I fell asleep. What wonder that T dreamed, or that my fancies traveled across the tlantic to Buffalo and to tne Invalids' Hotel, which had to me the same grateful memories as the
church of her marriage has to the happy wife. I seemed to be in a palace car between Albany and Buffalo, and the newsboy had bronght me a copy of the marvelous book sold freely on all the trains, "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," by Dr. Pierce, ex-Senator and ex-Congressman. I was again reading its pages, expressed, as all mecUcal books for the people should be expressed, in "plain English," and which is full of everything relating to the ills which fleela is heir to, so that the book may be well called the Invalids' Bible and the Testament tor "the already strong, who would keep thex.seives always strong. The book, which takes the child in the cradle through all the ills of nutrition and dentition; th? mother in her agonies; the husband in his depressions; the father in his sufferings from overwork; and shows each and all (ar d even the practicing physician, who thinks he knows so much and yet has always new things to learn) how the brain is weakened in functions, the lung poisoned, the blood contaminated, the liver made torpid, the heart disarranged, the muscles made rigid, the nerves shattered, and the tissues and absorbents infected with the subtle poisons of excesses and malaria. And finally, the precious volume the veries., gospel of health in this world turns the reader's attention to the Golden Medical 1Mb covery, that, whether It is used upon the pores of the body or sent into the channels of the body through the processes of assimilation and digestionjmmediately "cools the brow and tempers the brain, and makcth the faint one strong again." In my dream I had arrived at Buffalo, given my book to an interesting invalid of a girl who sat near me, and whose modestly filled purse seemed to forbid her the boon of the book albeit It was so unusually cheap six pages of the profusely illustrated book tor each cent of its dollar and a half cost! And I hud been repaid by her looks of gratitude. 1 hen in my dream the once familiar sound of "Dr. Pierce's World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel " was heard from the healthy and attentive porters awaiting the arrival of patients. Then I was driven to the old place with its revivifications of architecture and comforts. As I drove up I seemed to see the hotel in a blaze of light and beard music and the sounds of happy voices and of lightly moving feet. More surprised thuli ever before I was taken in hand by a female attendant-as bright looking as these ever are in dreamland, and in a moment, as it seemed, was clad in full evening costume, and soon, escorted by an usher, was entering the great diningroom, transformed into a salon of reception. At one end In huge electric letters I saw the words, "Welcome, restored old patients," at the other endYDr. Pierce, the Hotel Pounder' in the center of one long side, "Golden Medical Discovery," and along the ceiling, also In electric letters, "Purgative Pellets." As soon as this wonderful spectacle of dreamland had become sufficiently naturalized to my dazed senses I looked around and saw such happy congratulatory groups as made me think I was indeed in a phase of Paradise. With words of whispered assurance, the usher led me to the highest portion of the room, where sat a Cleopatra-like woman of rare beauty and condescending carriage. "Permit me, oh, Queen of Health, to present to you another of your subjectsshe who only a year ago was, without her will, excluded from, but has now re-entered, your dominions." She placed her cool hand in mine, the which as I kissed a thrill of new delight ran over my veins, and with a sceptrebeaded with a charmingly cut bottle of silver bearing in monogram the letters "G, M. D.' she touched both my eyes which seemed to anew drink In the gorgeous sight around me "And now' said the Queen of Health, "let mo present you to my Prime Minister." Timed with her gesture to the right. I turned myeyos and there saw, in evening costume, a robust gentleman of med i u in statu re, who was In physique the very ideal type of American manhood. He seemed the vorv ftmWvimont hiiifi? vigorous vitality, and on his full lofty brow I saw great indications of comprehensive mental - power, sweet benevolence, unvarying courtesy, tender sympathy, and business sagacity. He smiled and extended his band. When 1 recognized him in the ins taut, and rushing impetuously towards him seemed in my dream to say, "Oh, Queen, this my preserver, my ever-to-be remembered physician. Dr. Pierce." He greeted me as warmly as I greeted him. At this the musio struck up congratulatory chords in unison with the beating of my heart, and he whispered in my ear, "My best delight (and to It I have given my life, even at the sacrifice of a publio carer and promised honors) is to benefit those whom illness and disease afflict." A fresh procession of guests arriving at the foot of the throne of the Queen of Health, end demanding her attention, as it seemed to me in nay exhilarating dream, as well as the attentio n of her Prime Minister Pierce, I receded wSth my escort, and was soon mingling with tne happy groups, the members of which seemed bent upon enthusiastically exchanging with each other memories of their happy experience under the advioe, whether bore or at their homes, of Dr. Pi-srce, through his books and through his medicines, now controlled by a syndicate of capitalists, under the title of the " World's Dispensary Medical Association." "I was a sickly school girl' said one, "ignorant of the very rudiments of physiology, and a victim infernally to my ig tiorance, but the Med'.oal Adviser recommended the 'Favorite Prescription' and it soon restored me to bellehood, and here I am, full of health and gratitude." Hot escort was a Harvard student, who told me that a short time previous he had been worn by indiscreet alternations of Boston pleasure-seeking and Cambridge study, a very martyr to poisoned blood and dyspepsia, but "Medical Discovery' be joyously added, "not only unudo me what am, but, by its constant use, tioeps me what X am." As ho moved away with the young lady, hie affianced wife, I could not but regret the sma-1 numbers in good society of as handno me healthy young felluwa as he. "I," remarked a plump matron in black velvet and
diamonds, "had all the world oould gi ve me ex cept health. We exhausted the baths of Europe and spent what to some would he a fortune on 'eminent' physicians of Paris, until I returned home to die. But chance mere chance, I am now ashamed to sfiy threw Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription1 in my way, and all my weaknesses vanished as the dew before the rising raid-summer sun. In two months I was a well woman." The powerful voice of a baritone, pressed into the service of a song still In my dream at one of the grand pianos, of tho Invalids' hotel, aroused my wonder, and isO.in the possessor of the voice was exciting our marvel by the narration of bow he owed it, after a total destruction of voice by bronchitis, to an entire reoxygeryition. of lungs and throat, through "Golden Discovery," which was now his constant coti'p mlon. Gracefully dancing in the ensulnp quadrille, I saw a gentleman whom I was assured had not long ago been crippled with rheumatism beyond even the palliation of the Hot Springs of Arkansas, yet who, under "Golden Discovery," had seemed to renew his'strength, like the favored of the Psalmist's song. As I moved about from group to group, 1 heard but one strain told in many ways and that how marvelously, in its one great mission of puri lying the blood (which was the fountain of health or disease) 'the Golden Medical Discovery had come to their homes in some instances after years of suffering and useless expenditures to renovate, and to make the names of Dr. Pierce and the World's Dispensary Medical Association household words of cheer. Some had been cured by the Discovery of great eating ulcers, that had gnawed away at their flesh for years despite alt the usual remedies. Others had been restored to the full vigor of health after one lung had been wastea by consumption (which is scrofula of the lungs), and after night-sweats, spitting of blood, and kindred symptoms, had manifested themselves. Various forms of scrofulous diseases, as fever-sores, white swellings, and hip-joint disease, bad been conquered with the worldfamed blood-purifier Golden Medical Discovery. Presently a bugle from the orchestra ftave the summons to supper and all the guests began to pair. Little Nubian boys in scarlet uniforms (bright as everything bright is In dreamland) then glided in bearing little silken pennons, each exposing the words "Hope in G. M. D.f which they distributed in line of march, and which each guest joyfully bore aloft. Another bugle call for attention, and I saw two venerable, sweet-faced men of Grecian features approaching the Queen of Health, holding in their hands two wreaths of evergreen the veritable laurel from the Athenian groves. She stepped from her throne, as complaisant monarch s do, and riised them to her dais. Another bugle for silence and she spoke: "My guests, before we sup an Interesting ceremony remains. He on ray right is Hippocrates from the Spirit Land. He on my left is sculapius. They come to crown our Dr. Pierce with the great laurels of his noble prof ession they the great Past Grand Masters of the Healing Art, who best know who is conqueror of disease.' In a moment Dr. Pierce was about bending his knee In respectful obeisance to these ancient Professors when a gesture from both arrested him, as with dainty but dignified motions they placed upon his head the laurel leaves each saying n a unison of musical monotone, "Thou art our legitimate successor while a burst of orchestral acclaim md a chorus of thanks?! ving huzzas from the guests arose. Immediately above this royal and supornaturally looking tableau I saw in pillars of rosy light theac great words, the motto or the crowned Dr. Pierce, and which reveals the secret of his almost divine success, "The Blood is tr; Life." And with that I awoke- in my quaint little lodgings, to find (an unusual thing for London at early morning any day) cheery sunlight stream lug Into the room, as there upon my toilet table were my restored adjuncts to continued life and happfr.es the Oxford street supply of Gotten Medical Discovery, the guarantee of my continuing health. Dear render, although the foregoing is only the narration of a dream, yet It but truthfully reflects the marvelous cures wrought by those world-famed medicines that have, from their intrinsic merits, becomo standara remedies In nil civilized eountr e for the commoner lilt of mankind. Ants That Eat Boses. Recently, while looking on some standard roses that are being forced in a peach house, I noticed some of the flower buds covered with ants, and, thinking they were after aphis or some other insects, I examined the buds more closely, and, to my surprise, found that they were greedily eating away at the buds, find had already spoilt several of them by eating right into the buds, where, on examination under my pocket lens, some were busy eating, while others seemed to be sucking the juice out of the embryo petals. I immediately had pieces of old sponges soaked in paraffine and tied round the stems, which soon put a stop to their rosebud feast, and necessitated their setting off in search of fresh pastures. It is pretty well known that the yeat the pistils out of peach flowers, but I was not aware till recently that the ant was an enemy to the ro& also, H. Henderson, in Gardeners9 Chronicle.
Remarkable Escape. John Kuhn, of Lafayette, Ind., had a very narrow escape from death. This is his own story : 44 One year ago I was in the last stages of consumption. Our best physicians gave my case up, I finally got so low that our doctor said I could not live twenty-four hours. My friends then purchased a bottle of Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs, which benefited me. I continued until X took nine bottles. I am nc-v In perfect health, having used no other medicine."

JLn Important Opinion by an Eminent Jurist. The Syracuse, N. Y., Journal has an interesting in tor view with one of the loadingJustices of the New York State Supre ine Court, from which we quote: Yes, sir; I have been on the bench for twenty years, and have ne ver missed an appointment through physical debilities. "Iu tho spring of the year I make it an Invariable rule to help nature 'clean house by lifting a standard blood purifier, and to this I attribute my extraordinary vigor. I am nearly 'seventy." The spring is nature's 4thouse elean'rjtg' time. Then the blood is full of the impurities of the lonjf wlmer. Nature needs help, for if the purification is not complete, the system is liable to attacks of pneumonia, chills and fever, malaria, rheumatism, liver, kidney, and blood disorders, headaches, bowel derangements and summer complaint. "No, I should not like my name to be used publicly, bnt you may say," said the jurist, "that the only medicine I use is "Dr. Daviti Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, of Rondout, N. Y. a most excellent preparation, which I always warmly commend to my friends everywhere." Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has been twenty years in u?e, and cures in 00 per cent, of eases, and can harm no one. Coffin is the name of a tenor singer in a Western choir. Strar ge that a man can sing who is always a Coffin.
