An @id Family.
The Smiths are a numerous tribe. Who hath not known a Smith? They are an old family. History makes no mention of the time when there were no Smiths. They take their name from the trade of their founder, as do most families in some way or other. The Fletchers were arrow- inakers, as their name signifies, and the Paylors, the Skinners, the Butchers, the Brewers, and other familiar examples. Probably the original Smith, old Smith, father ef the first ‘‘Smith boys,” was Tubal Cain, who ran a large establishment where swords and armor were fabricated in quan- tities to suit. Tubal was a familiar figure to the schoolboys of thirty years ago, and they delighted to read ‘tin concert,” that is, in dissonance, that by the fierce red light of the furnace bright the stroke of his hammer rang. But we digress, and have been led into the digression by reflections upon the antiquity of the Smith pedigree. That it is ancient is evident; that the family is still numerous and flourishing is made equally apparent by the great gather- ing of the clan Smith at Peapack, N. J., a few days ago. when 3,000 Smiths, descend- ants of Zachariah Smith, who settled there a century or more ago, reported for pleas- ure. One is readily prepared to aocept the statement of the reporters, that when the 3,000 Smiths sat down to dine together, 3,009 Smiths feeding as one, the scene beggared description. Among so many people there were, of course, many types of the genus Smith. There were Smiths with raven tresses ; Smiths with golden locks— called red hair by branette Smith girls; tall Smiths; short Smiths; Radicals who firmly believe that all Smiths are created free and equal: patrician and exclusive Smiths from Smithborough, who wish it distinctly understood that they are the same in blood with the Smiths of Smith- ville, but in worldly circumstances far dif- ferent. All these and many more were present. Lizzie Smith—lives there a man with acquaintance so circamscribed that he has not known a Lizzie Smith ’—read a poem ‘‘written for the occasion.” In this poem she remarked :-~
The Smiths are here with much to boast Of honored names ; a mighty host
Of poets, authors, and divines;
Their words appear in golden lines,
The family tree is spreading still,
And Smiths are crowding vale and hill, Three eheers for all good Smiths, we say, And greetings give them all to-day !
Really we don’t knew why the Smiths have uot a good reason to feel that the poet was only stating she facts. For the Smiths have given to the world many men of first-class talent, if they have not swayed empires or written popular novels. America has special reason to remember the Smiths, for the name is intimately associated with her history from the time of that never-to- be-forgotten club meeiing at which Captain John Smith came so near being immolated by the first families of Virginia. Probably the doubts which are cast upon the authen- ticity of his narrative are due to the hostility of the Browns or some other clans a little less numerous than the Smiths. That the Smiths are crowding vale and hill hardly needs demonstration ; but if it did, the cir- cumstance remaitked by one sveaker at Peapack, that on the borders ot Cayuga Lake dwell 400 Smiths, who hold reunions annually, would be accepted as evidence. The Smiths may fairly claim to be one of our oldest families.—Amer. Ex.

A Dutch Landscape.
A Dutch landscape presents a certainly not unpleasing uniformity. The eye takes in at once a broad expanse. The view is bounded by trees that are only in rows or small groves, but seem to become a forest as the distance increases. The most striking feature is the broad meadows, literally covered with cattle, such as are seen in the pictures of native artists. ‘These fields, when the ground is near the level of the water, are divided into

parallelograms separated by small canals or ditches covered with aquatic Communication between parts of the same property is maintained by low bridges scarcely rising above the general surface. Here and there are farm-houses on the brink of a canal or among the fields, usually encircled by a
{garden and a few trees, and perhaps the| | ground slightly ralsed or depressed by a low| dike. The farm-houses resemble ina general |
way those of Belgium, with their steep roofs covered with tiles and their small windows.
VOL. 19.-NO. 226.
A Washington Statesman.
When the United States enters a man, he is no longer a mere man, but becomes a subli- mated, indescribable, mysterious being. His eyes do not look as they used to—they have an Olympian expression ; his voice alters its tone, acquiring a departmental, majestical, unanswerable and incontestable sort of a sound ; his very nose, whatever its previous inclination, abruptly turns up, as acorning all unofficial specimens of humanity. His walk changes and grows solemnly measured ; his standing position is firm and graceful as that of Apollo ; seated, he is Jove on the throne of the universe. Often he is economical of the mighty powers of speech, especially when an opinion may be required on some important subject of which he happens to understand nothing ; then he
** Assumes the god, Affects to nod, And seems to shake the spheres !”
Only seems, save in the admiration of sur- rounding subordinotes. They tremble at the fateful moment, because they feel that the ‘** spheres” do so,
Now his most ancient friends would not know him. Tom, of the home village, who used to slap him on the back, would not dare such profanation any more; Dick, of the neighboring farm, who once sold him eggs and butter, would stare, with open mouth of won- der; and even Harry, his bosom friend and crony, couldn't at this time articulate distinct words in his awful presence. He is a creation apart, anew and marvellous creation. The President has spoken to him. Senators have addressed him. Judges of the Supreme Court —yea, even in their sable voluminous gowns, do ask him questions. Such, and so surpris- ing. is official life.
sut at home also the glory and the glamour continues. Mary Ann is afraid of her honor- able husband. The daughters approach with dread when they want new dresses. In man- ner most modest and deferential, the sons hint at the necessity of a little pocket-money. So subduing on all has grown the trausforma- tion that the whole world appears to be an- other world, and every old thing has passed away. The only exception isin the case of the three-year-old boy, who is too small to see mountaius, aud acts with no more reverence than he observed before ‘‘ pa" came to Wash- ington.
Think of calling him ‘‘pa”! He is not aman; he is not a father; he is the starry Union !—Seaton Donoho, in Brooklyn Maga- zene,
A + Diseases in Potatoes.
The potato is subject to diseases of the stalks, leaves and bulbs. {The diseases are due to destructive bacilli,which in some cases may be traced to the planting of unhealthy bulbs. The Danish method is to destroy the germs by heating the bulbs. In some cases of dis- ease the mold on the bulbs grows up in the stalks, where the mold seed ripens and spreads from stalks to leaves. As the disease starts from comparatively few spots, it spreads slowly at first and then rapidly, except when interfered with long continued drought, © In some cases Where unhealthy bulbs have been used, the plants appear to thrive, but the bulbs do not grow or produce largely. If healthy bulbs be used the majority of diseases may be avoided. To guard against all possible contagion, the potatoes should be heated up to one hundred and four degrees Fahrenheit, and so kept for four hours, a slight sprouting of the bulbs before heating being an advan- tage. These precautions are especially re- commended for what is termed in Europe the plague, but in this country we have no con- tagious diseases except the rot.
it has long been known that the best and healthiest crops are secured only by the use of sound, healthy bulbs that are free from all appearance of injury, either by disease or frost. The seed being the firsc consideration, the conditions of the soil should be such as _ to promote a healthy growth. The common practice of hauling large quantities of fresh manure to the potato fields, and spreading it in the rows has done more to introduce dis- ease than any other cause. Manure may be used upon potatoes with advantage, but it should begthoroughly decomposed and _ fine. Compost is better than manure, and it is usually composed of absorbent materials that have been well mingled with the manure. The safest method, however, is to manure

heavily on wheat land, followed with grass,
-; and using the sod land after the grass has been cut for potatoes.
With the aid of four hundred pounds of super-phosphate per acre the potatoes will yield well, and be free from disease, if healthy seed be planted ; but unde: no circumstances will potatoes be entirely
