A Negro Discussion About Eggs.

Geneva, the lovely village OF S.neca Lake,
furnishes the following specimen of Pdriameu-
tary ruling:
''ln the lairest village of Western New York,
the 'culed pussens, in emulation of their white
brethren, formed debating society, for the pur.
pose OF improving their minds by the discussion
of instructive and entertaining topics The de.
lberations OF the society were presided over by
venerable darkey, who performed his duties
with the utmost dignity peculiar TO his color.
The subject for the discussion on the occasion
OF which we write was,
"What am de mudder OBJ lie chickens-de
hen wot lay dc eggs, or de hen wot matches de
chick?"
The question was warmly debated, and
many reasons pro and con were urged and com
bated by the excited hisputants. Those in avor
of The latter proposition were evidently in the
majority, and the president made no attempt TO
conceal that his syInpathes We're with the dom
inant party. Al length an intelligent darkey
rose from the minority side aud begged leave TO
state proposition TO this effect,
"'Spose said he, dat you set one dozen ducks
eggs under hen, and dry hatch which am de
mudder--de duck or de hen?'
This was poser was well put, Ond nom
plused the other side even Staggering he presi

ment but had committed himself too far to
yield without struggle; so, after cogilsting

idea struck him. Rising from his chair in all

The Teacher in the School Room

BY J. II. C.
"Delightful task to rear the tender thought;
TO teach the young idea how to shoot
To pour the II cSh ms ruGtion over the mind;
TO breathe the enlivening spirit and TO fix
The generous purpose in the glowing breast ~
But after all you will meet with thousand
perpleXities knoiCn only to the teacher. Your
task, although ''drightlul,' will, il you do your
duty, be no chi dlsh play; your march, although

Like the Storm lhdt moves. Grst, over even

often be lnarred, and your course Interrupted.
Now fancy yourself in the School room. 1t is
noon. Yon have scarce disca tched the luncheon
so kindly prepared By the mistress of the house
where you have been boarding, when Mary
comes in from the play. ground, her face awry
her angry brow knit with distorted burrows as
she b ngs to your cars compliant against her
equal mate. Both parties are night. Anger
seems to pant for the supremacy. Complaints
are multiplied Play take sides, and
general confusion reigliS.
Now, fellow laborer, is the trying time.

and undying souls. II it is impossible for YOU
to control your temper, stay away from the
school room, and seek less responsible occu
patton. Don't approach Bny nearer to human

But their regard no sensible man will covet.

'Tis hardly appropriate to call them human,
so studousy humanity they disgrace;
But since they claim progenitureship of women,
They'll do, perhaps. to fill some vacant space;
Though filling blank hiatus with fatuity,
Appearslke filling vacuum with Vacuity!
Fashion S eriremus is the dandy's passion;
On that he sets his heart, aud hand, and seal

SEVENTH DAY.

SEVENTH DAY.
The forenoon Of yesterday was entirely
consumed in hearing the testimony in the
case cf Paul Thiesen In the afternoon COM
menced the summing up Of the case, and
its presentation to the jury by the counsel.
Geo. H. Parker, Esq, opened on the part Of
the State, ane made speech Of some three
hours length. which was highly argumenta-
tive, and developed clear underst anding of
the case in all its parts, George n. Van
Hosen followed on the part OF the defence
in strong and powerful argument, which
was not completed till the evening session.
His speech was couched in the most plain
and lucid language, and the testimony was
by him spread out in such manner as not
to be misunderstood by any juryman in the
box. Next followed Geo s. G. Dow. ESQ.,.
on the part of the defence. His speech was
the most able and convincing we have ever
heard at the Scott County Bar, and no
doubt carried with it immense weight. The
AoSSSusah5 Aktoiucyp IAou. AAchy " OO0-
nor, then argued the case In his own pecu-
liar forcible STYLE after which Mr. Parker
closed, and the case went to the jury.
The court room was densely crow ded last
evening. and great interest. especially
among the Germans was manifested
We shall undoubtedly be able to give the
verdict in our next ISSUE
The trials before the Court to-day will
probably be taken from the civil docket, Of
which there is enough to engage District
Judge and heavy corps Of energetic law
yers for at least ten months, and We only
wish there could be such an opportunity af-
forded
The case Of State Us John Wink lsmann,
for murder of Hans Arp will come up in .
few days-but will probably be dispatched
in much less time than it has taken to try
