TO improve corn, one should study
the plants on which he intends to ex.
pertinent. Let him take pattern after
the successful breeder of animals. The
latter studies the animals which are
mated. Let breeder of corn select
some of the best stalks in his field,
cover the young ears before the "silk''
comes in sight. Then take pollen from
a stalk very much like the one which
is to bear the seed corn. Save the
best ear, plant in good place by it
self, and cultivate well. Continue this
work, and in a few years lie can make
almost anything he chooses of his corn.
Ono should let no popularity of corn
escape his attention. See which en-
dures dry weather best; notice the
height of the upper ear, the stalk, the
earliness, the number of nodes, wheth-
or the stalks are slender or stout I;
whether the ears have long or short
husks; long or short, large or small
shanks, etc. This is a fascinating
study, and he who will begin an intel
ligent series of experiments looking to
the improvement of corn, will be quite
sure to succeed. He will interest and
profit himself, and also become ben
efactor to bis race.-[Rural Record.

H THE treatment Mrs. Laugtry re.
ceived in Memphis was a marked
contrast to her reception in North.
ern and Western cities. At Boston,
Philadelphia and New York, al.
though courteously treated by the
press, she was followed in the streets
by crowds of people. At Memphis
she was subjected to none of this
impertinent curiosity, but appeared
on the streets without exciting any
offensive scrutiny. In this Memphis
has set good example, which, it is
hoped and believed, other Southern
cities will follow. The difference in
her receptions must have been very
apparent to Mrs. Langtry, and she
doubtless left Memphis with high
opinion of the people of that city.

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.

The time has not, in our opinion,
vet come when it is advisable or pru'
dent to mention names for the offices
to he filled at the next general cleo
ton in this State, but there are some
facts in that connection to which it
is none too early to call the attention
of the country Parishes, and more
particularly those of North Lou
isiana.
The most prominent fact of which
we desire to speak is the large share
of important Offices now held by the
City Of New Orleans. Gov. Wilt
was from the city and the position
of Gov. McEnery is not to be prop
erly credited to the country, because
his holding the place is accidental
The two United States Senators are
from New Orleans. The State Treas
urer is from the city. The country
has the Secretary of State, Auditor
and Lieutenant Governor, and of
these three the Auditor comes from
the neighborhood of the City. The
Speaker of the House and two of the
Judges of the Supreme Court, are
also from the City. To speak in
general terms the City of New Or
leans has grabbed everything worth
having and the country, like poor
boy at y frolic, has nothing to say.
We do not wish to stir up any ami
mostly between the City and the
country Parishes, but we do intend
to insist upon more just and equi.
table distribution of the Offices next
time.
New Orleans and Southern Lou.
isiana have now for eight years had
a monopoly of the State Offices
The Ouachita Valley has had the
two McEnerys, and has now the
Governor and President of the Sen
ate. The whole of the influentia
Red River country which polls the
bulk OF the Democratic votes of the
State, has had only the Secretary Of
State.
The moral of all this is that Red
River is entitled to name the next
Governor.

of the department every one of the
big caravansarirs is a death trap in
case of fire, but the system of vigil
ance inaugurated in the leading es-
Establishments is calculated to reduce
the danger from flames to mini
mum. Only about three weeks ago
a fire broke out in one of the most
fashiona able hotels in upper Fifth Av-
enue. One of the pipes was over.
heated which set fire to the flooring
and then to the carpet in one Of the
rooms. The porters headed by the
engineer who had been we'll drilled
went to work with an energy which
produced tie best results. In ten
minutes they had ripped the burn
ing floor up and in half an hour the
flames which might have caused q
dreadful loss of life were extinguish-
ed. The hotel people we're anxious
to keep the matter out of the news

the first that has appeared regard.
ing the occurrence. I shall not
mention the name of the hotel in
question, but it is in Fifth Avenue
not very far from Central Park.
A Catholic Priest Of my acquain.
lance had an amusing adventure in
a street car the other day. He is
one Of those few clergymen of mod.
ern days who remain poor because
they find so much misery to relieve.
He was riding in a street car on his
way to sick call. In his overcoat
pocket he carried large memoran-
dunn book. Beside him sat a gentle
manly looking man who was busted
with newspaper. All of a sudden
the man arose, and went to the back
platform as il to leave the car. Not
long after the priest left too. As he
arose he found that his pocket book
was gone. Much chagrined he yet
could not help feeling amused over
tho prospective discontinue Of the
thief, because he knew that the book
did not contain a cent Of money.
He turned into the street, when much
to his surprise man who followed
him, Capped him on the shoulder,
and handing him his book remarked,
"sir,. excuse my friend, here is your
book. 1t was all a mistake. There
is nothing in it," and abruptly has
tened away. t
Shaefer, the billiardist has a re-
markable dog in his rooms. He
makes it his business to pick up
every ball that is knocked of q table
and returning it to the proper table.
He will not allow it to be taken from
his mouth but insists on placing it
on the table himself. He is 90 ex
pert at catching a small india rub
Der ball, that Shaefer says he is 60
ing to propose him as catcher for
the base. ball nine which tho billiard.
lists Of this city have formed. One
night some wags filed tho ball with
water and when the poor fellow
caught it between his teeth, he got
the thin stream into his throat.
The dog never forgot that. He
seems to know by the way the ball
flies whether it contains water and
will make no effort to catch it. On
the contrary when it is down on the
floor, be will put his foot on it and
squeeze the water out. By the way
the billiardists Of this vicinity are all
in active practice for the coming
tournament in Chicago, and Judging
by the scores made by Slosson, Dion
and DAILY in private, great billiards
will be rolled when the battle begins.
