The SEX OF EGGs. Is there any way
of,elling the sex of eggs.
When on examining an egg, by holding
it between the eye and the light OF the
sun or of candle, the v:vifying speck IL
seen exactly on the top, such an egg will
produce a male bird; but if on the
contrary, the speck be on one side it will
produce hen. II is said also, that the
sex Of the embryo bird may be distin-
guished by the shape OF the egg, as, ii
the egg is elongated in shape it will
contain male. but il more globular it
will contain female SO that il these
indications be true. either sex may nc
propagatcd at pleasure, which is not yet
known tn be the case in any other class
in the animal creation. Stock Journal.

The Election of stevenson TO the Senate.
Despatch TO The EUentlJ Telegraph
FRANKFORT, Ky, Dec. IT, Contrary to gene
raj expectation, hard work has secured the
nomination and election of Governor Stevenson
as successor to Senator Davis whose term will
expire in 1871. If Stevenson resigns his present
position soon, II. p. Leslie, Speaker of the State
Senate, will become en-otioio Governor of the
State, and this fact may have helped to decide
the contest in Governor Steyenson's favor. He
is learned lawyer, and Intellectually very
able man, but his enemies say, of a character
too timid and negative to exercise any influence
in the United States Senate.
