Several weeks ago one Of our cor
respondents made inquiry concerning
Teosinte {reana lururians). Another
sends US the following clipping:
"This gigantic member of the grsss
family is perennial in hot climates. 1t
somewhat resembles Indian corn in
aspect and habit Of growth, but the
leaves are much longer and broader
and the stock is filled with sweeter
sap. and is likely to prove of value for
the production of sugar. In its per-
fection it produces great number of
shoots, growing three or four yards
high, thickly covered with leaves,
yielding such an abundance of forage
that one plant is estimated to be sniff
cient to feed pair of cattle for twen-
ty-four hours. In the extreme South,
Teosinte would be . perennial. In
the North q single seed will make
from II to l6 stalks, when planted i.
the open ground, and from 25 to 80 if
first started in . hot-bed. attaining to
the height of five and six feet with
east mass of long broad leaves.
Mr.. s. A. Cook, of Georgia, who
grew Teosinte last sesaon, writes me
as follows: 1T surpasses either corn
or sorghum as q soiling or fodder
plant. l counted IS stalks from one
seed. They grew eleven feet in
height, and but for excessive dry
weather wonld have been much taller.

North Carolina ReintrOducing the Grant
Element.

Washington Special 10 Baltimore Sun, 18th.
In the consolidation Of the Internal
Revenue districts of North Carolina the
President has recognized the stalwart or
Grant element by restoring TO position
VIM. II. Wheeler as Internal Revenue
collector, with enlarged jurisdiction. Mr..
Wheeler was removed in 1880 through the
influence of Mr.. John Sherman, then Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, because he persisted
in using his patronage TO send Grant
rather than Sherman delegates 20 the Chl-
ca0o convention. Ever since the advent
OF Mr. Arthur to the Presidency the stall
warts of North Carolina have made a
strong fight for the restoration Of W heeler,
and the President has at last acceded 70
their wishes, with the understanding that
Wheeler and the stalwart element viii
give in their full adhesion to the coalition
movement in North Carolina, Everett.
the person put in by Mr.. sherman. is con-
sOled with the tender of an office in
one Of the Territories said to be quite
profitable. This appointment OF
wheeler, with other Federal appoint
ments previously made. hands back to
the Grant element Of North Carolina all
of the valuable Federal patronage taken
from il by Mr.. Sherman, and Is destined
to have much influence on politics in the
State. AS above intimated. the entire
Federal patronage in North Carolina will
now be used for all that it is worth in
furthering the coalition movement,
and whatever substantial re-
suits accrue, will prove for
the benefit of the stalwaTts. 1t is
now considered assured that either
Arthur, or any one that he may prefer,
will have the North Carolina delegates in
the next Republican National Conven-

To the Editor Of the Post: / am in favor
of all libraries, parks, museums and pic
ture galleries being open on Sunday.
Sunday should be day of Joy and recrea-
tiOn. The gloom of the Puritan Sabbath
has darkened lives enough, Nothing can
be more perfectly hateful than the OrthO-
dox Sunday. 1t is prison-a kind of
dungeon in which JOY is chained and
shackled.
The idea that we can make God happy
by making ourselves miserable is the ex-
IRENE of folly. The fact is that ministers
fear competition. They are afraid that
people VIII keep away from the church if
any other place is open. The ordinary
preacher cannot compete successfully
against a park or 'swaX wurx." / am in
favor of being happy seven days in a
week. l am the enemy Of dyspeptic pie
ty. / want to see the people enjoying
themselves. 1t is not recreation to 90 to
church and hear about total depraYity
and eternal fire.
There is nothing in the average sermon
to cheer the average man,
/ say that all Libraries, parks and gal
Ieries should be open on Sunday, and

Sunday. ROBERT q. 1S6EBsoLI..

A Baltimore gentleman complains be-

what authority there Is for such action,

costly litigation. and. assuming the form
Of partizan power. assays 10 direct legis-
latiou and control the gOYernment-State
and National. In volume and power il is
an interest second only TO that Of the
mighty bulk Of the annual products Of the
country, upon which it is wholly depen-
dent for existence. but which it controls
with the completeness and certainty Of
fate-cOntrols not because the former can
not exist without It, but because it
cannot more without it. This necessity
Of produce renders II helpless as a surplus,
but calling to Its aid transportation, trade
springs up. a thousand new wheels are
put in motion. demands OF distant CON-
munities are met. want is driven from the
land. and peace and prosperity settle
down in blissful harmony over the cOun-
trv. How important then that these two
great interests should be in perfect accord,
should be mutually helpful to the greatest
possible degree. Though agriculture can
exist without its acknowledgements
tiOn-it would be a poor existence, and
neither can prosper without the favor of
the other.
1t is time for men and corporations to
cease the struggle for the greatest profits
that can be extOrted from the producer,
and consider whether it will not be more
profitable in the end 10 expend that energy
in endeavoring to reach the minimum
point Of freight charges consistent with
cost and operation Of transportation lines.

constructing so many parallel railroads
through the same section Of country, all
Of which must be paid for by the pro-
fucer. and suggest to railroad companies,
as a means Of arriving eat a proper
solution Of the question, the cOmbin-
ing Of water lines with rail transpOr-
tatiOn whenever at all practicable.
For the highest encouragement Of the pro-
ducer and manufacturer-fOr the surest
and most rapid growth of those interests
from which transportation derives its
great profts-its very existence-the pol
lev should be to remove every obstacle, re-
lieve every pressure and make the access
TO market as near free as possible. The
history Of the great railroad companies in
this country show that reduction of their
freight charges did not decrease their III
comes. but added to their lists large
freights before prohibited by high rates,
AID the same viii always occur where the
cost or transportation is out OF proper
ton to the market value Of the produce.
