A hen which has been permitted to stay at
one OF the Elevators in this city, where, of
course, she "found good picking" has for
some time laid two eggs daily without any ap-
parent detriment to her organization. Be-
sides this, every single week she has laid an
egg much larger than her ordinary attempts,
which, when broken were invariably found to
contain two perfect yolks. One day last week
thought it good to spread herself" An enor-
nous egg-nearly as large as the egg of a
goose-was the result, which on being broken
was found to contain no less than three perfect
yolks! We believe this circumstance is with
out . parallel. That hen should live though
ell the others die. We suggest Hen Con-
vention, in order that she may be put in the
way of q handsome Office.
We have since learned that this hen is COM
posed of Shanghai and common barn fowl, in
equal parts. The Shanghais should make q
queen Of her without delay.

The recent election in Pennsylvania seems
= destined to exercise most important influence.
The previous year Fusion party swept the State,
and ruled rampant. This year it has dwindled
into nothingness, and the party that was beaten
stands in the attitude of conqueror. The old
feeling of democracy that had been permitted to
sumber in fancied security, has been aroused, and
by one bold sweep, Know Nothingism and its
tail of isms" have been placed among the
things that were. va
This is the natural result of things. 1t was
easy to join together varietyof parties repre-
senting all shades of opinions, and each stortly
adhering to particular opinion, by holding out
the hope to each one of securing its object
but it was not easy, after power was gained by
means of the combination, to CRAFTY all. The
advocates of an "ism" could not be satisfied
with part, only, Of their darling expectation,
and there was scarcely branch Of the united
army, that did not demand more than its share
of the spoils. There was no common tie Of prin-
ciple to bind them together. They banded to-
gether to achieve power and obtained 1t. They
quarreled over the spoils and broke into confu-
sion.
In the meantime, the great Democratic party
aroused to sense of its duty, and animated by
one common, broad and general feeling, the good
of the State, arose and gave to the dismembered
Fusionists such an overthrow that they will
scarcely be heard from again in that quarter.
And so it will be in Ohio, where recently the
opponents Of Democracy Of all shades, colors
colors and conditions banded together. They
will fall asunder in the fierce struggle for the
spoils, or for the accomplishment Of the particu-
lar object for which they entered the campaign
and next year will witness thorough triumph
Of the Democracy, we are certain. The Demo
cratic party when struck to the earth rises, An
teuslike, refreshed. Old Pennsylvania has
given the latest example.

A Chinese Funeral.

The Chinese who were killed by the late
steamboat explosion in California, were buried
with their national ceremonies, which are thus
described by Sacramento paper -
The ceremonies practised on the decease Of
person in China vary in different parts of
the country, though they are not necessarily
elaborate or expensive anywhere. and all the
important ones can be performed by the poor
est. The inhabitants of one part of the en-
pire put piece of silver in the mouth of the
dying person and clrefully cover his nose and
ears. Scarcely is he dead, when they make
hole in the root to facilitate the exit of the
spirits proceeding from his body, of which
they imagine each person possesses seven an
imal senses which die with him, and three
souls, one of which enters elysium and re-
ceives judgment; another bdes with the tab
let, which is set by the side of the body by the
priest, and the third dwells with the tomb
Yesterday, while the services were going on
in English, the Chinese, not far off, were per-
forming the last sad Office over fifteen corpses
of their countrymen. At every grave incense
sticks were smoking, and red candles burning,
while the friends of the departed came one by
one to the foot of the grave and placing their
hands together bowed their bodies forward sew
sraI times
In central place among the graves large
quantity of edibles were laid out and arranged
in order-a whole roast hog, piles of cakes,
and large platter of cooked rice, sweetmeats,
pickles and wine. In front of these viands
stood Chinese attired in the habiliments of
a native priest, beating time with two steel
plates, and in measured tones chanting prayers
for the repose of the dead. Just opposite the
person thus officiating could be observed a
small, short stake, to the end Of which was a
paper streamer, on which was written in
hieroglyphics charm, as it is their custom
on funeral occasions. With prayers for the
dead, the officiating individual mingled simple
quotations from the Chinese religious books.
Many came to the graves aud threw into them
gilt paper and cords. At several places could
be observed piles of paper cut into small
squares, with square gilt spot in the center
of each sheet. All these were set on fire, the
survivors supposing that the smoke transmits
them into hades, that they there turn into ce-
lestial money and 60 into the hands of the de-
parted, and by them are used to bear their ex-
penses in the other world. During all these
funeral services, there was band of Chinese
music, which played their national airs ac-
cording to their home usage.
1t was a rare sight, and at once fattering to
the lberality of our institutions, to see there
assembled on common ground the Christian
and the Pagan, each acknowledging the sacred
character of the departed, and manitesting ac-
eording to their peculiar tenets, respect for
their memory and worth. This unusual cir
cumstance, together with the large number Of
new-made graves and cofined bodies. and the
immense crowd of persons in attendance, con-
tributed to render the occasion one of sad and
sinuular interest
