CURIOUS CoRN.-We were shown last week,
by Mr.. D. T. Burner, who lives on the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad, near Weyer's Station, a
specimen Of very curious corn, which he raised
last year from some sent him several years ago
from Nebraska by his aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth
Hildebrand. 1t is called, in Nebraska, cattle
corn" from the fact that it is only suitable for
feeding cattle. The cob is very small and is
covered with rows of shucks in pods, and in
each pod there is grain OF corn. Besides this
covering, the whole year is covered with shucks
just as our ordinary corn is. 1t is certainly
very peculiar, and undoubtedly fine labor

With their mirthful, winsone way,

Chasing gloomy clouds away.

With the garments that, how often,

Now they are gone from you forever;
Cold in death their angels brow;
From the lips that used to kiss you,
Warmth of life is taken now.
For you saw their forms grow weaker,
And deaths dimness in their eye,
Heard their voice grow fainter, fair ter

aerial suspension perfectly bewildering. The
gifts he distributes are valuable and useful,
and there is no humbug about them. 1t is a

A story About Hawthorne


A charming story of Hawthorne was told
to Mr.. Conway by an intimate friend of the
novelist. One wintry day Hawthorne re-
ceiyed at his office notification that his SER
vices would no longer be required. With
heaviness of heart he repaired to his humble
home. His young. wife recognizes the
change and stands waiting for the silence to
be broken. At length he falters, 81 am
removed from Office" Then she leaves the
room: she returns with fuel and kindles a
bright fire with her own hand; next she
brings pen, paper, ink, and sets them beside
him. Then she touches the sad man on the
shoulder, and, as he turns to the beaming
face, says "Now you can write your book F."
The cloud cleered away. The lost office
looked like a cage from which he had
escaped. "The Scarlet Letter" was written
and a marvellous success rewarded the
author and his stout-hearted wife.

The message of Governor Stockley, while
not a strong one, is a little In advance o
those of his predecessors. The changes he
recommends in the organic law are neither
radical nor numerous. The allusiOn tc
Civil Service Reform is exceedingly amusing
coming from Democratic Governor In
Delaware, where everything is made to bend
to the success of the pear-ty; and as to party
contributions, they are laid upon tht
offlce-holder with a rigor and force that
brooks no resistance Increased represen-
tation receives cooling draught from tht
Governor, which ought to bring New Castle
county to a realizing sense of her position IL
the hands of the Democracy. But they are
happy family; the Democrats make pro
fuse promises before the election, and forget
them as soon as the result is announced
Whatever change Is proposed, will be such
as to leave the whole matter in the contro

The Governors Message.


Governor Stockley's message will be read
with much interest by Delawareans, and its
recommendations to the General Assembly
will meet the approval of all persons favor
able to the advancement of our State. On
the subject of increased representation for
New Castle county the Governor may
not have spoken with as clear a
trumpet-sound as some expected,
and yet we can see no reason why a fair and
equitable distribution of 80 members be-
tween the three counties in the lower house
III "fair and equitable distribution
means a distribution according to popula-
tion-ought not to be satisfactory
10 this county. As the Governor
says 'ttheSenate should more properly be
considered the representation OF territory
rather than population, and in its organiza
ton designed for the better protection of the
minorities."
