CONDENSED EGG-A process has been devised
by essrs. Thurgar, of the Albion Mills, Norwich,
for drying eggs that they viii keep good for any
length of time This is effected by evaporation
The yolk and white of the egg are exposed to a
slow heat and the moisture is thus driven Off
The whole is then reduced to powder and packed
in tins. The material is not necessarily kept air.
tight. but may be freely exposed TO the air. The
powder is used in the ordinary way as eggs are,
being mixed with little water, and is thus ex-
celent sub.titute for milk on long voyages besides
capable of being used for all cooking purposes in
the same way as the fresh egg. The powder viii

Mr.. Petit moved further to amend, by admitting
all the u 8. office holders.
Mr.. Smith, Of Ala. thought that the Convention
had better invite the public in full than
for representatives In Congress. The support and
countcnance of the masses Of ths Democratic party
we're more important than the favor Of Office holders
and members of Congress.
Mr., McMullen, of Va, favored the adoption of the
resolution, for he thought Congressmen and SEN
ators entitled to seats the floor.
The resolution was fnelly laid on the table By q
lafg majority, motion Of Mr.. w. w. Aiery, of
North Carolina.
The Convention then adjourned.
1T is rumored that arrangements are complete. By
