Royal Legation of Italy, Washington,
March 81, 1891.-Mr. Secretary Ct State !:
By my two notes of the 10Th and 18th in
slant, had the honor to call your Excel
lency's serious attention to the occurrences
of exceptional gravity which took place at
New Orleans on the 14tb, whereby four
subjects of the King of Italy, who were
confined in the prison of thai city, we're
u assacred by the crowd under the leader
ship of two American citizens. After hav-
ing formally protested against the unjnsti-
fable conduct of tie local authorities,
which were evidently recreant to all their
duties on that occasion, reserved to the
government Of his Majesty the right to de
mand slch satisfaction as it might think
proper, since thu occurrences in question
constituted patent violation of the stipu-
/ lations of the treaty in force between our
two countries, which secures TO Italian
subjects residing in the United States the
same protection that is enjoyed by Ameri-
can citizens, and which has always been
extended to the latter in Italian territory.
The reparation demanded by the govern.
ment of the King, as I have had the honor
to inform you in our interviews held during
the last few days, was to consist of the
following points
First-The official assurance by the
federal government that the guilty parties
should be brought to justice.
| Second-The recognition, in principle,
that an indemnity is Que to the relatives OF
the victims.
Your Excellency was pleased to declare
to me that, as the federal government did
not think that it could take this view OF the
case, it declined to take ths two aforesaid
demands into consideration.
Under these circumstances the govern
ment of his Majesty, considering that the
legitimate action of the Kings minister al
Washington becomes inefficacious, hes or
dered me to take my leave.
In obedience to the instructions which
have received, Ihave the honor to announce
to your Excellency that am going to leave
Washington as speedily as possible, leaving
the Marquis Imperial, his Msjesty's secre
tary of legation, in charge of the current
business of the royal legation.
Be pleased to accept, Mr. Secretary Of
State, the renewed assurance of my highest
consideration.

TASSELS FROM

In two Of our exchanges We have
seen . statement Ut experiments
made to test the theory that in
the process Of tasselling and bear.
ing pollen the strength of the corn
plant is exhausted to . certain ex-
tent, and that II the tassels were
removed. the stalks relieved Of the
drain upon them would produce
more grain. 1t has often been said
that nature does nothing in vain !;
yet we know that in certain ways
mans ingenuity improves upon ma
lures processes simply by modi-
flying. directing or restraining them.
The general belief in regard to corn
has been that the tassels were abso-
lutely necessary to the fertility of
corn, and that there are not more
than enough for the purpose they
were intended to serve; hut two
experiments cited prove this con-
trary as far q two trials can be
regarded conclusive. The tassels
were removed, rs fast as they ap-
peared, from al the stalks In each
alternate row, and the stalks care
fully noted: the number Of stalks
in the rows topped and untopped
were counted. aud finally the stalks
and ears counted and weighed. Re-
suit: The number Of good ears
and good corn was fifty per cent. |
greater in the rows from which the
tassels had been removed than in |
The Others. This was so in every |
Dase. Would thus be so in all Sea-
sons! What proportion Of the tas.
'els ought to be left? These are
questions asked by the experiment.

Aizell, who seems to eomplain Of uu-
fair dealing In the wolf question, and
who In your ifsue Of June 20th re.
marks that tho subscription list did not
specify where the wolf Was to be killed,
I will furnish him with . verbatim CODY
thereof, as follows: .ft
"we, the undersigned citizens Of St,
Tammany parish, Louisiana, hereby
agree to pay the following reward to
any person, man, woman or boy, who
shall kill, within the parish, the wolf or
wolves that are killing sheen and other
domestic animals, east of the Rogue
Falia, from near Gov .ngton north to the
parish liae."
The supposed wolf" was killed with
In the limits aforesaid, and Mr.. Mizell's
Welt was not, and 1t seems that ought
to end the question. II the game did
not turn out to be exactly . wolf, yet it
was the identical beast that committed
the depredations, and for whom the re.
ward was originally embodied in the
spirit of the subscription list. Besides,
could Mr.. Mlzell prove that bis sswolf'
ever crossed the parish line, and II 30,
committed any depredations?
Bury the Ratchet, friend Mizell, and
remember that discretion is the better
part Of valor. The reward was paid to
the undersigned because he WAS right.
fully entitled to it; otherwise the inter.
ested parties would not have allowed
him to receive II.

to deposit produce in our ware

Jistemi
First take 81. o00, 900; buy corn

draw 40 per cent. Of that-8OO, 900
Buy corn with that; deposit and
again draw 80 per oent-64O, 900,
and 50 OF down and make only ten
purchases aud you oan buy nearly
81 500, 900 worth Of produce with
only one million dollars.
A rich man with q few millions
can buy all the corn, whelt or any
other product Of the United States
and make the Government furnish
the money. -,
A few millionaires can corner
everything produced BY the farm
srs and Uucle Sam will have to furn-
