y correspondent, writing from Madrid,
says: There are a very few Spaniards who
do not see that Cuba must fall eventually in
the hands of the United States and become
part of the American Union. If the peO-
pie of Cuba could vote in a fair, untram-
meled way on the question of separation
from Spain, and the majority of the votes
should be in favor of that act, it is certain
that no greater number of Spaniards would
favor their retention under the Spanish
dominion by force.(?) They would regret
the loss of the pearl of the Antilles, but
they would not spend dollar or risk life
to prevent its contamination if legitimately
carried OUT This is so nearly like the tone
the English press has adopted recently in
discussing Canadian affairs that we are
warranted in believing the willy Spaniards
have concluded to take pattern after Great
Britain. The coincidence is remarkable, to
say the least.

THE KITCHEN GARDEN.-It is a matter OF
establishment that so many farmers appear
Indifferent to the kitchen garden. There
are many vegetables like celery. lettuce, as
paragus, rhubarb and many others that
might be named that are absolutely indis-
pensable in their season, upon every we'll
supplied table. They are healthful,as well as
palatable, and no farmer should deprive his
family of an abundant supply of them
Besides, the garden, if conveniently located,
As it should be, near the house need not oc-
cupy an unreasonable amount of time, but
offers a place where many an odd hour
may be filled up with pleasure as well as
profit. There is no estimating the saving
which might be affected by greater atten-
tion to the garden.
The fact is, the farmer is better situated
to have upon his table every luxury in the
way of vegetables and small fruits, since he
can produce them himself, that any other
class of people, but in point of fact how few
avail themselves of the advantages of this
position.
What is more healthful than the rhubarb,
or pie-plant, in its season, and yet how few
gardens contain i'll Who would deprive his
family of celery, and yet how few gardens
give it any place.

FOR THE PRESENT BOARD.

FOR THE PRESENT BOARD.
City of New Orleans .......-.--.-. $4,000
The private stock was unanimous for the
present Board. The reception and counting
of all the votes would therefore have only
reduced their majority from $4,000 to $4,000
votes. The individual stockholders would
in both cases, decide the election.
1t may be useful, here 20 repeat the
grounds upon which these corporate votes
were declined by the commissioners hold
ing the election
spending to the public sentiment here, pass
ed an act formally renouncing the claim to
vote on the stock, and substituting for it the
right of appointing three State directors.
The act was conditional on the pa sage in
Louisiana of similar law for this State.
and that the same provision should De eX-
tended TO the city.
Foran amendment of the charter tie con-
sent of the company, at meeting Ofstock
holders, was necessary.
In 1867 the Legislature of this STATE pass
ed the corresponding act, reciting herein
the preamble and provisions of Mississippi.
The bill was signed by Gov. Baker, and the
acts were, 1865, formally accepted por-
tiens of the charter by The stockhode of
the road at a general meeting.
These are the provisions of the charter.
There is a decision of the Supreme Court.
in a case arising before the charer was
amended, wherein the court ruled that un-
der the original charter the State had a right
to vote stakeholder which had been for
a long time topic of leg al controversy. 1t
will probably appear, when the threatened
litigation is commenced, in what way ju-
dicial opinion in favor of the Stat, based
on law which has been repealed DrO tdHt0
can be pleaded, in reclamation of right
which the State has renowned bya subse-
quent law.
It may be interesting for reference here
after TO state what is the general distribu-
ton of stock in this company.
The nominal amount Is 100000 slarcs at
So each. as follows:
City of New Orleans. .-. $4,000
State of Louisiana .........-. ....6I0OO
State of Mississippi, .........-... $4,000
individuals full paid ....--... 5000
individuals part paid ...-...... -, 900
1t will be seen that the vote of the city of
New Orleans, added to the vote east by in
dividual stockholders, is a very decided ma
iority of the whole amount of stock in the
company held by individuals and corpora
