Mr.. Hewitt's bill providing tor the
United States exhibit at the Paris eN-
position will probably be passed.
Among other things it provides for car
rying out the idea advanced in Mr..
Tilden's speech, printed in this paper
two weeks ago, concerning Indian corn.
The corn crop Of this country is an I'M
mense factor in its production, and that
1t may furnish cheap food to the millions
Of people in Europe, to whom it would
be a great benefit, it is only necessary
that those people should learn that this
grain is not only food for animals. but
may be converted into exceedingly
palatablc and very healthy and nutri-
tious human food. For this purpose il
is proposed to establish at the exposition
an American kitchen, in which shall be
taught the mode OF cooking the various
preparations of Indian corn, and furnish
such other information regarding thereto
as will tend to promote its more general
use. The hoe cake, the corn pOne. the
egg bread, the hominy, the grits and the
various delicious culinary preparations
| from corn starch will all be made. and
| sold at cost to the curious hungry, and
printed receipts for cooking them will
be gratuitously distributed. This is 4
movement in the right direction, as
everything which will p~opularize this
great staple of the west will be of advan,
tage to u people.
