How TO PRODUCE EaGs.-"J. H F." writes to
the Prairie Farmer:
A hen is perfect machine, which, if cared for
as it should be, being kept in comfortable quarters
and fed with care, will produce eggs in spite. OF
itself. If as rule hen is kept clean dor nothing
enjoys cleanliness more than hem, and furnished
a supply Of grain, meat and vegetables, she will
produce the eggs which she has got to lay, or die
Take away the flesh and vegetables and small
grain and give corn and water alone and your
hens will cease to lay, and become fat. Corn in
itself has less of the properties which make the egg
than any of the smaller grains which we raise
Rice, wheat, barley and bDokWheat are best fol

ROMAN LAwYERs.-At first the Roman pleadsers
received no remuneration beyond the services
which every client owes his patron. Consequently,
when the law had become distinct science, it
became the practice for clients to reward their
advocates by making them presents, which Ito
evade the Ginctan law passed to prevent this)
were often disguised as secret loans. Before the
fall of the republic, these fees equaled in magni
tude the largest fees known in modern times.
Even Cicero who was regarded as a model of dis
nteresteduess is said to have, received from Pub
Illus Sila $40 O00 as fee for his forensic services
In modern times many fortunes have been made at
the bar, but we imagine none can, be compared
with that of NJ. Lucinius Crassus, whose fortune is
said to have exceeded Sl5,0O0,000. One mode of
rewarding advocates by egacies left them by their
clients, appears to have been a source of consid-
cradle profit, and was esteemed highly honorable
to the legatee Cicero boosted that in this way he
had received 90 900 900 sesterces, more than $780,
900. We fear that clients in our day are not sc
liberal in their last will and testaments. In fact
during the best days of Rome, success at the bal
was the surest introduction to popularity dstinc
tion and political power. No wonder, then, tina
the art of forensic speaking was greatly cultivated
| and with so much success. Probably no age ha
produced band of more eloquent men than Cicer
and his contemporaries of the Roman empire.

OUR CITY,s HEALTH.

New.York should be a healthy city, and Is
not. In spite Of our noble bay, our two great,
lung.like rivers our sandy SOIL our rare natural
facilities for drainage. and our bracing climate
our death.rate is high. II should be lower;
and, with q proper organization for sanitary
purposes, it may and will be. Let US try

The Health Board, when convened, has great
power; and our late Mayor might have con-
vened it if be would. But he would not-at

represents quite number of our rum-boeS ana
policy-sho in the Assembly, tells the Lesi'la'
ture that the City wants no Health bills salts

no right to say that he does not fairly represent
those who elected him. They evidently suS'

were to get nd Of the underground lodgings
and other mephitic dens wherein fever ana

feel constrained to drink so much rum, and the
Democratic maiorities would consequently fall
of. Hence, we need not look for any elective

position is deplorable, but in a representative OF
our Sham Democracy, very natural.
But there is one point whereon be talks
knavishly; witness the following extract from
his speech of yesterday;

"The result is that the streets are in worse con-
dtion than ever before and II the cholera comes ara

fering with the municipal affairs OF new YORK
Let us look into this:
Mr.. Boole was not cleaning our streets at
cost of some $5O0,000 per annum. The people
preferred to have them cleaned at much
smaller cost. So the Legislature empowered
the Mayor, the Recorder (Since chosen Mayor,
the Controller, Street Commissioner and Cor
poration Counsel-nll Democrats. and the high
est officials in our City, chosen by the votes OF
her Democratic masses-to make O contract for
the cleaning Of our streets for ten years TO come.
No Republican was allowed to have finger
in this pie-not even to point at it. Ii was
Democratic affair from top to bottom-Com'
mssioners, contractors, everything Yet The
contract was not given to the lowest bidder
far from it-and how the streets have been
cleaned, we all do know. And now Mr. Curtis

new amendment to the Constitution was re.
ported yesterday in the Senate and House from
the Committee on Reconstruction. Ii ltpr0yideS-
"That Congress shall have power to make all laws
which shall be necessary and proper to secure to the
citizens of each State oil the privileges and imnunites
Of citizens in the several States and to all persons in
the several States equal protection in the rights OF life
liberty and property"
In the Senate this was ordered to be printed,
and in the House it was, after some debate, re-
committed in order to be reported back again.
The anxious Brooks seemed to be afraid it might
be passed under "gag-law," but at latest ad'
vices the dreadful effort had not been made.

The Freedmen's Bureau Bill, which passed
both Houses of Congress by more than two
thirds vote, was yesterday submitted to the
President. Should the information not reach
us before going to press this morning, we hope
that we may hear in the course Of the day that
the bill has received the Presidents signature.
The continuation of the Bureau is Of such vital
importance to the South so much depends
upon it in the organization Of the new system OF
labor which Emancipation has made impera-
tive and the relations Of blacks and whites
must continue so unsettled and precarous with
out the presence and supervision of its officers,
that disagreement between the President and
Congress upon the subject would be matter OF
deep regret to the whole country. Should there
be any doubt in the Presidents mind as to the
wisdom of the measure, his Cabinet should he
think proper to consult its members, would, it is
to be hoped, sustain the large majority of Con-
gress in the decision at which they arrived.
