STATES.

Commenting on the above. the New orleans Plcayune says: It is certain 'hat the southern states are giving more attention to corn than ever be- lore and it is big money in the pockets o1 the southern people to do so. When they shall make their own corn and Dacon' as they undoubtedly can, then they will be truly independent. Their cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco will be pay crops, because the expense of feed- ing laoorers and animals is one of the heaviest burdens which can fall on the southern planters.

A CUNNING REPTILE.
The Various Clever Devices He Used to De
 eeive His Discoverer.

 The Various Clever Devices He Used to De-
 eeive His Discoverer.
 A correspondent of The Popular Sci enee News tells the following strange story:
 While searching for snails turned over an old log and disturbed a snake, called by our negroes spreading ar- row. The tactics pursued by this snake were curious.
 First he erected his head and neck and fiattened them out till they seemed no thicker than cardboard, thus increas- ing his apparent size, as he took care not to be seen edgewise. The shape of his head changed. It took pronounced triangular form-similar to the heads tail, with tho aid of a dry leaf, was proclaiming that it was the tail of a rattlesnalxo.
 All this, coupled with an ominous hiss, was calculated to strike terror to tho heart of his disturber, as for mo- ment it did. l regained my courage, however, and began to poke the serpent gently with a stick, when, finding 'bluster" of no avail, he sought safety i'll flight.
 Repeated headings off" showed him how futilo weIo his efforts ill that line, ard ho altered lis tactics again. He turned oil his back and remained mo tiouless threw him six feet from the ground, and 50 quickly did he turn over that ho seemed to strike on his back.
 Onco on his back, nothing could in- duco him to move. Tapping, prodding, twisting his tail--all were ill vain. Then l suspended him from tho limb of tree, retreated a littlo and watched. At the end of two minutes the reptile moved. Slowly he turned on his spinal column Gs on an axis, surveyed the premises, and seeing nothing dangerous dropped to the ground and was making off.
 At my approach he died again. After sundry proddings, which failed to move him, l rewarded him for his cleverness by giving him the liberty that he cer- tainlv had eaxnad
