A CHAPTER ON CORNs.
How They Are Cultivated ana The
Bf>tictfveiVarieties.

From The Hart.o

Corns are OF two kinds-vegetable
and animal. Vegetable corn grows IN
rows; animal corn grows on toes.
There are several kinds OF corns; there
is the unicorn, capricorn, corn dodgers
field corn and the corn, which Is the
corn YOU feel most. 1t is said, be-
lieve, that gophers like corns; but per-
sons having. cOrns do not like 10 go
ior," ii they can help it. Corns have
kernels, and some colonies have Corns.
Vegetable corn grows on ears, but an
imal corn grows on the feet AT the 9th
er end OF the body. Another kind OF
corn is the acorn; these kind grow on
oaks, but there is no hoax about the
corn. The acorn is corn with an IN
definite article indeed. Try it and see,
Many man when he has Il corn
wishes il was IN acorn. Folks that
have corns sometimes send for i doc
tor. and if the doctor himself i coned,
he probably won't do 80 well Is II he
isn't. The doctor says corns are pro-
duced by tight boots and shoes, which
is probably the reason why when Il
man is tigf they say he is corncd.
Ii q farmer manages we'll he can get
good deal oil corn on an acre, but |
know OF II farmer that has one corn
that makes the biggest achcr ON his farm.
The bigger crop oil vegetable corn
man raises the better he likes 1t; but
the bigger crop OF animal corn he raises
the better he does not likeit. Another
Kind ii corn is the corn-doger. The
way it is made is very simple, and is
rs iollOwS-that is ii you want to know:
You 20 along the streets and meet II
man YOU know has II corn, and a rough
character; then you step on the toe
that has the corn on it, and see ii You
don't have occasion 10 dodge. In that
way YOU will tnd out what Il corn-dod-

born with weak ones. Those who have,

At the request Of some of the friends OF
the city premium bond plan, We publish the
various Endorsements in its favor.
The bill which was introduced in the
House to legalize the scheme passed that
body on Friday, and will probably be pre-
sented to the Senate on Monday. Its fate
in that body will depend in great degree
upon thecondition of political excitement
which may exist at the beginning of the
week. II after careful examination of the
provisions of the bill and the laws bearing
upon the subject it shall be found to be the
one most feasible, it may receive the sane
ton Of the upper house and the approval of
the executive:
CHAMBER COMMENCE,
New Orleans, February :, 1876.
At meeting OF the Chamber, held this
day, the following resolution was adopted:
'Resolred, That this Chamber, after ma
ture dehbera:ion, approves the premium
bond plan as proposed by the city admin
istratiOn, and cOmmends it to the favorable
consideration of the Legislature as the best
measure calculated to relieve all interests
involved, taxpayers and b0ndhOlders."

Resolred That in view Of the fact that
this association was formed for the purpose
of reducing taxation, We heartily approve
the bill introduced into the Senate by the
Hon. E. D. White, which gives legislative
Endorsement to the premium bond plan, by
which the city taxes are reduced at once
nearly fifty per cent; by which those who
owe back taxes are greatly relieved of their
burdens, and once again in our history q
limit by legislative act is fixed to taxation,
with tho additional advantage to the prop
erty holder that these great benefits are
made matter of contract to which he is q
party, go that this limit can neither be ex-
ceeded by constitutions, Legislatures, City
Councils, nor even by the judiciary.
Resolved, That q committee of five be ap-
pointed to present these resolutions to the
Senate and House of Representatives.
