To Give n Corn Banquet.

Charles J. Murphy, special agent of tho
agricultural department engaged in intro
ducing corn into Europe, has been in Chi
cago for some weeks, and through his eff
forts there are now nine places on the ex-
position grounds where corn can be had in
its different forms as appetizing human
hourishment. Mr.. Murphy hopes to round
off his activities for corn in Chicago by an
elaborate corn banquet; 60 be given in one
of the state buildings best adapted for the
purpose, probably New York. The foreign
commissioners and principal foreign cor
respondents and commissioners from each
state are to be invited guests. Corn is tO
be served in all its tempting forms, and
literature is to be furnished each guest
descriptive of the many uses to which the
grain Is put. Mr.. Murphy holds that this
is an ideal opportunity for showing the
possibilities of corn and he believes that
no exhibit i'm the entire exhibition will so
strikingly impress the foreign guests.

feet long and about four inches in

loaded when Minnesota's sun began

over his shoulder, when by
stander called out to him The man
turned about and saw the snake on a
level with his eyes, looking at him as
though wondering what next was to
be expected. The bananas were
dropped, and the vender's optics fairly
bufged out Of his head. He might
possibly have heard of finding taran-
tulas in bunch of bananas, but boa
constructor was too much. The snake
was fed that day for the first time af-
ter his five weeks fast. A mouse was
dropped into his box. He wound him

discovery that she was confronted by
a big bear instead of her husband.

A Man With q Grievance.

For our knowledge of this man. Mr..
WILLIAM BUSCH. we are indebted to our st.
Louis contemporary. the Ouerseer. which
prints his picture and his biography along
with the presentation OF his grievance. His
grievance Is against mankind. He Is not
appreciated: his genius Is not recognized:
his works are ignored: he cannot get the
credit that Is his due: the fruits OF his
labors are stolen by others: his life is life
OF grief in world Of rapscalllons.
We are interested In Mr.. BUscH's case by
reason OF It's melancholy nature. and also
on account OF the fact that there are SO
many other men in his plight. Almost
everybody must know man with griev-
ance: and II the reader doesn't know half a
dozen men OF the kind, he is unusually
lucky In his acquaintance. 1t Is hardly
ever possible to give any relief to man
whose grievance is against the world.
Mr.. BUSCH Is q Missouri playwright and
man OF letters who has been pursued by
harpies all his life. They fatten on his
Ideas. purlon his plots. carry Off his char
acters bodily. put their own names to bis
plays. fill their money bags by plundertng
him OF the property which he creates, and
take from him that fame which Is his by
right. All the time the whole world has
looked on quietly, without the slightest
concern. reckless OF his state OF mind.
This Is his grievance against mankind.
Even his friends have played tricks on him.
Here Is a case. Yet who cares2 We guess,
while looking at Mr.. BUsCH's picture In
the Ocerseer. that he must be about forty
five years of age; but he yet has big
bush OF hair on his head and sports
a moustache. goatee. and imperial. Bar
ring these decorations. no looks as
though he had not a grievance OF any sort.
He dresses nattily; the shirt collar Is sweep
ing and buttoned very low; the long scarf
is daisy; the whole front part OF the neck
down to the collar bone Is on display.
We are reminded o: Lord BYRON. who was
another man with grievance. for which
reason he wrote his attack upon the
"Scotch Reviewers" We learn from the
Operseer that BUSCH smokes Havana
cigars and loves the fragrance OF flowers.
We learn also from the OpTscer that he
"quafrs nepenthe." soothing stun OF
which Mr.. EDGAR ALLAN Poe. who also had
q grievance. speaks in one OF his poems.
In telling OF his grievance to the Ouerseer,
Mr.. BUSCH gives the titles OF some OF the
plays from which he has vainly looked for
returns. Among them We notice THE
Corset of Hor Majesty" Bob the Coddy."
"Cock-eyed Ben." Sam in Quod." The
Grip OF Sorosis." "The Man Halter" "B
Major and Q Flat" "Tell-Tale Eyes." aud

Tho New Municipal Building.

q The Board OF Commissioners for the new
tnunicipal building have stipulated thnt
The competing architects shall design q
structure OF five stories, OF which one shall
be basement and another an attic.
We do not think those provisions arc
wiso. and we are convinced that II they are
adhered to we shnll have very inadequate
building. 1t certainly cannot be OF tho
architectural pretonslons to which New
York may rightly aspire. The prevailing
!: conditions Of tho ground plan and neigh
borhood prohibit that hopo; but IL those
considerations are put aside in favor of
purely practical advantages. the space ut
command can be made to yield much bet
ter results.
Tho existing plan does not sufficiently
Drovide for the future; and willis it may
utilizs the ground we'll enough for tho
Actual requirements OF the present mo-
,tnent. the natural expansion Of the city
and OF It's municipal machinery will soon
wholly outgrow it. 1t should be borne in
mind that the sito is about tho most
valuable land in the world. and that in
New York we can no longor afford TO erect
low buildings. The city's interest is par
Rllel to that OF the private individual: and
when the city builds it should be with tho
same thrift and forethought that attend
private enterprise.
Z Therefore we hold that tho plans should
Fbe revised without delay. and that designs
be prepared for structure Of ten or twelve
etories in height. 1t will conform better
20 the future needs OF tho city. and it will
be more COMMENSURATE with its dignity
and character. Moreover. it would be econ
Omy to clear away the TWEED Court House
at the beginning. instead OF waiting for a
culture necessity.
