HARRISON REPULSES QUAY. * I ? J A Declaration That He May Dec-lint to Be a Candidate. (Vashi^IU. D. C ? There will be no rec mediation between Stnator -Quay and President Harrison, and, as a result, Mf* Hat rison may eventully not be a candidate for reaominatio i. A few davs ago Con pressmen Bingham. O'Neill, and Rev burn, -accompanied by Postmaster-Gener al Wauam^.ker, called upon the President to urge him to forgeL the past and to re ceive Quay. This wm with the id<a that the Pennsylvania Reptmlican Convention, to be held on Aj.ril 20, would declare for Harrison, and to assure him of the sixty - four delega es from lhat State to Minne apolis. 4 The surprise of the delegation was great when tbe President turned to Mr. Wanamakciriand said: t'Tha less you have to do with Mr. Qojfc tbe better it will be for yourself. H<n$ u*l a tit mau to associate with." Then the President faid that Ke was not so certain about accepting tbe renom ination, unless he was assured that the party was batmanTous, an i tha'. it would stand together on all questions. ' fie said he saw here and there evi deuces of dissatisfaction, and that he preferred to stand aside rather than to place himself in the power of Mr. Quay f and some other men who ha<^rttempted to 4jdate tenns for rehomination. The President told the Congressmen that he would not place the pa ronage of Penn svlvaaia in Q nay's hands, because tjie men Quay had recommended to him were no better than^iinaself and were not fit to hold office. The President said that if it depended upon Quay whether he should get the Pennsylvania delegations then he would not get it. Mr. Wanamakcr talked in his most persuasive manner; but it was of no avail, and tbe Presi tent warned the Postmas ter-G*neral to keep away from Quay. Wheu this was told the Senator he was angered He immediately began tc discus* with his fellow Senators the availability of Blame as a Presidential candidate, and the boom in the interest sjfrfhv Secrctaiy last week is due to Quay's work . The men who were pr> s tnt at the interview with President Har rison say that, unless Quay, Piatt, Clark son, and tbe rest are solid for him, BIr. Harrison will decline the nomination Up to this time Quay lias refused to tell his most intimate friends who is his Presidential choice.

New Yori( Tribune. t * % SPANISH SULSIFTe A vegetable that promises to be of considerable value, if once generally in troduced, is^the so-called Spanish salsify* a native of Southern Europe. L. H. Bailey, of tho Ooroell Station, who has grown this salsify for two years, has this this to lay about it: . 1 "Spanish salsify makes a root aneh like saliify, except that it is much lighter colored and considerably longer. Its flavor is less pronounced than that of the salsify, but when carefully cooked it possesses >*ery agreeable quality, which' is somewhat intermediate between that, of the salsify and parsnip. It is adapted to all thftvmefhods of cooking employed for those vegetables.'' The paiijticular value of the vegetables aside froai^ailrirding a variety in the kitchen garden, is its lar^e s&e and pro- * duotiveness as compared with the salsify. About twice the crop can be raised upon a given area that can be secured from salsify, and no <fcubt it could be sold for that vegetable in tbe general market. The w>ids are much easier to nandle and sow nhan those of tbe salsify. It ia sown and cultivated in exactly the aame manner as that vegetable, and can be dug either in the fall or spring. Perhaps the, greatest disadvantage of the plant ia the, Ljery prickly leaves^. which may make it' unpleasant to handfct But, upon the* whole, it is worth introduction into American gardens. Seeds aittOflered^hp soiue American seedsmen. The plant was brought to the attention of American gardener* nearly thirty yean ajo. Tbe American Horticultural An nual for 1871 said of it "It does not see:n to be quite as hardy as the salsify, so'.ne plants which were left out for ex perimest beinj found partly decayed in the spring. It is ies3 troublesome to pre pare, atd does not require so much care iu cooking as the salsify, and has a milder flavor. On the other hand the roots be* ing longer and more brittle, are more dif ficult to dig, and the centre is somewhat fibrous. The last difficulty is overcome by the French by first boiling the roots and then splitting them and lemoving the tough centre, which readily separates from the outer portion, which ia very tender.*' Mr. Baily, however, has not found tough centres in the plants ho has srown. ?
