About your centripetal nerve
Are your cerebral ganglions working
In the manner like to observe?

And cause vasomotors to mover

Are also the pons varolii.

The result of complex stimuli.
And this coordination of atoms
My cerebrum will still carry on,
Till cardiac motion he ended,
And peripheral feelings be gone.
Then relax all your facial muscles,
As the nerves of ambition vibrate.
Of your heterogeneous feelings
Make dear homogeneous state.
When the ganslions growing confounde3
In the great beloved effervesce.

there is not an acre cf tillable land

can be made to produce at least
fifty barrels per acre, of as fine po-
tatoes as ever entered the New o.

fifty barrels per acre is the average.
which is a low estimate. Twenty
acres would produce one thousand
barrels, which at S. per barrel,

EDITOR ST.. TAMMANY FARMER:
Having received an Invitation to
attend Masonic funeral and pro-
cession, to pay the last duties OF re-
spect to the memory of our deceased
friend and brother, VIM. Williams,
of Washing ton parish, we started
from Covington last Saturday
morning, armed with half a day s
rations and some fishing tackle (for
we also expected to have some fun. }
We passed several nice, well-cul-
tivated farms on our way (but
needing rainy which was forth
coming the next day, as many will
long remember. 1t not only rained,
but it poured in torrents.
At 2P. NJ. we arrived at our des-
tination. After short rest, and
eager for the sport. With cane aud
bob we embarked in a small. canoe
ou the beautiful Bogue Luca creek,
where the blue trlped trout luxu-
riate. We spent half an hour III
almost unconscious ecstacy. The
clear "whoop" Vas the signal Of the
safe landing of another and another,
until our man thought ne had as
many as we could carry home.
And all! such u supper and break
fast. 1t was enough to make the
spirit of Isaac Walton groan with
envy.
On Sunday morning we attended
the funeral. When we arrived al
the beautiful grounds, we found
about four hundred persons ASSEM-
bled there. The cemetery excelled
any. IN appearance, that l have
ever seen III the country. The
graves were all beautifully deco.
rated with flowers and evergreens
II. the most approved style, which
showed the handiwork OF WOMAN
who alone knows how to put Oh the
finishing touch in such tasteful
manner. We were told that our rs.
teelned friend, Mr.. NJ. j. Williams
superintendent the work Of deco,
rating the cemetery, and well did
he discharge the duty assigned te
him. Much credit is due him anG
the noble ladies for theil skill il
identifying and adjoining the
graves of their deceased relatives
friends and strangers-for the
strangers graves received the same
care. Noble people!
The Brethren of the Mystic Tie
soon arrived in sight, marching VI
in regular order and forming arount
the grave. The Master then pro
ceeded with the ceremony, an,
many were the moist eyes. Ere hi
concluded with he benediction th,
rain came, and hasty retreat wa
the order of the day, which wa
universally adopted.
We accepted an invitation to
sumptuous dinner, after which
with a regular old fashioned good
bye" we left for home, where W
arrived without accident.

of the General Assembly. Last
Tuesday Mr.. Feazel introduced
resolution to the effect that lowing
to the stringency of the times, and
the present depressed condition of
the people and the status of the
finances of the State, it is the sense
OF this House that the present ses-
sion of the General Assembly should
terminate at the earliest practicable
moment. That measure for rails
ing revenue, a general appropria-
ton bill, and a charter for the city
of New Orleans, are the three grand
measures which absolutely require
legislation at this time; that these
measures should receive prompt at
tention and be considered para
mount to all othel questions OF
legislation, and treated as such by
this Legislature" Mr.. Chretien
moved as an amendment that after
the words "city charter" the words
"city debt of New Orleans" be in
serted. The resolution as amended
was adopted. 1t appears to US that
there is another grand measure"
which our strangely absent-minded
representatives seem to have en-
tirely overlooked, and that is the
Public School question The fund
for maintaining the public schools
Of the State is in a very impover-
ished condition. But Article 167
of the Constitution, after providing
that the $40 600 received annually
from the Louisiana State Lottery
Company shall belong to the CHAIR
ty Hospital of New Orleans, and
recognizing the charter of the COM
pany as a contract binding upon
the State, except its monopoly clause,
goes on to say:
Of the additional sums raised by
licenses on lotteries. the hospital at
Shreveport shall receive $4,000
annually, aud the remaining sum
| (S3O,OOO) shall be divided each
year among the several parishes OF
the state, for the benefit of THEN
schools.
There are now three applications
for lottery charters and licenses by
new companies, which would pay
annually $4,000 for the benefit oi
the Hospital at Shreveport, ano
$40, 900 into the Public School func
of the State. When the eminen
