The Russian Purchase
The St. Louis Democrat of April
30th, speaking of the recónt pur-
chase of the Russian North Amer-
ican possessions, says:
We have not purchased a shoal
of fish or a raft of logs. We have
purchased, men bolieve, the cour-
morcial mastery of the. Pacific
ocean. From the timber we can
build finer ships than any other
nation that borders on that ocean
¿an put afloat. With the fisheries
&hd the commercial marine we can
ci-ain as fnfány; bramen as will suf-
fice, in tftae of wat-, to sweep all
ottoer navies from the ocean.
These are the ideas of men
who look to the dévelopment of a
grander empire on the shores of
the Pacific than the Atlantic has
yet fcffeén; who believe that they
shall ;see San Francisco outstrip
New Vorkj who lo<yk to the trafts
cofiti^nal trade between Euro-pe
and Asia, and mean to control it
with American fchips, American
capital and enterprise. To defend
their commerce, they need a naVy.
The Eastern States built up a navy
by means of the Northern fisher-
ies and the lumber of Muiné ; the
P'acilic States look to the Sitka
territory for lumber and fisheries
both. One day, England must let
go of her possessions on the Pa-
cific. Sooner or later, Mexico
must part with Lower California
and the territory washed by the
western ocean. Then, owniiig the
coast from the pole to the isthmus,
the United States will virtually
ti#n the Pacific ocean into an
American lake, dictate terms to
tíh'ó commerce of the world, which
must eventually pass across our
continent, and rule "mistress of
the seas" by a surer tenure than
Brittania has ever held.

It'tlio best seed is" selected every
time, the tendency is toward con-
tinued improvement; if poor seed
is taken there will be a gradual
deterioration. The same
will tal<e place with the potato
seed from the flowers or bulls wove
employed instead of the tubers, tor
in this caso there would be suc-
cessive reproduction of new varie-
ties. The eyes on the tubers are
nothing but 'buds, and increasing
the u'rant by cutting them is pre-
cisely similar to increasing cur-
rant , gooseberries and grapes by
cuttings, apples by root-grafting,
cherries and pairs by stock-graft-
ing and any kind of fruit by bud-
ding. Tho nature of tho variety
is not changed at all by these sue

Tiie Cuzco Potato.— A writer
in the Prairie Fanner says:
I have been experimenting with
or raising the Cuzco potato for
two years, and I find it is the most
profitable potato I can raise, aver-
aging one hundred bushels more
to the acre than any other variety,
even the peach blow, and it is a
better keeper, and a better table
potato than the peach blow. It is
almost entirely free from disease,
when planted on dry ground, and
by cutting to single eyes, one
bushel of seed will produce lrom
forty to sixty bushels of good-sized
potatoes. They will bring as
much in market as the peach blow,

thus completing the cycle ot ma-
chine corn raising. On the farm
of which this corn field formed a
part, there was a field of timothy
comprising seven hundred acres.—
It is the improved farm machinery
which has rendered such extensive
farming operations possible and
profitable at tho same time.
Important Decision.—In the
Supremo Court of New York, Mr.
Justice Sutherland has decided an
important question between cur-
rency aud gold. The issue turned
on an agreement made to pay a
certain sum at the time when gold
was the ruling currency. The sum
was tendered, but in legal tenders ;
heneo the litigation. Mr. Justice
Sutherland holds that an agree
ment to pay in gold cannot be le-
enforced, though,, treating
{old as a commodity, a contract for
its purchase and sale is perfectly
safe and proper. Ho declares that
the result of the legal tender ac,t
is that gold has ceaBod to be cur-
rency, and becomes exclusively a
commodity. The decision appears
to bo identical in principle with
one recently delivered by the Su-
preme .Court of Massachusetts, by
which, upon a contract for the pay-
ment of a specified sum in gold, a
tender of the amount iu green
backs was held good.
