Bryan has shipped over 28,000 bales
of cotton by the Central Railroad. Our
wharves and warehouses' are full, and
from the Trinity we are receiving a
large amount of this staple. We are
advised that full 20,000 bales will be
brought from this rich and fertile val-
ley this season. This is the result of
the energy and honest dealing of our
cotton factors. [Appeal.

Trial of B nai art Commenced
Pauis, March 21.
The High Court for the trial of Bo-
napart convened at the Louvre ystter-
day. The Princess Btmapart and chil-
dren Inv: arrived. There tvnS an i;n-
A New Discovcrj' Willi Corn.
An intelligent and reliable neighbor
of ours, who has lor many years been
making experiments with corn, has
discovered an importance and value in
replanted corn which is quite novel
and worthy of publication. We have
always thought replanted corn was of
very little consequence, but this gen-
tleman says "it is of so much conse-
quence, he replants whether it is need-
ed or not—or rather, he plants two or
three weeks after the crop is planted, a
hill about every fifteenth row each
way." He says : "If the weatlrer be-
comes dry during the filling time, the
silk and tassel both become dry and
dead. In this condition, if it should
becomc seasonable, the silk revives
and renews its growth, but the tassel
does not recover. Then, for want of
pollen the new silk is unable to fill the
office for which it was designed. The
pollen from the replanted corn is then
ready to supply the silk, and the fill-
ing is compldDgd." He says nearly all
the abortive cars, so common in all
corn crops, is caused by want of pollen,
and that he has known ears to double
their size in this second filling.
[Exchange.
The chaplain of the California Sen-
ate is in training for that place in Con
gress. lie showed his dexterity by
making' favorable mention, in his
prayers tho other morning, of the new
national flags of California silk now
on exhibition there.
If we took the trouble to hate all
our enemies, we should have no time
kit to love anybody.
