CHINESE METHOD OF PRESERVING
EGes.--As much has been said OF
late about the mode Of preserving |
eggs, it may not be uninteresting to
say q few words about the Chinese
methods, as related by o French
chemist, NJ. Paul Chimpion, who
has lately visited that country, and
published very interesting book
on the ancient and modern indus
tries OF that curious pcoples A very
common method isto placethe eggs
in u mixture of clay and water; the
clay hardcns around the eggs, and
is said to preserve them good for a
considerable time. Butanothcr and
much moro elaborate method is also
commonly practiccd. An infusion
Of three pounds Of tea is made in
boiling water, and to this are added
three pounds of quick lime, Tor sew
en- pounds when the operation Is
performed in winter hire pounds
Of sea salt, and seven pounds OF
ashes of burnt oak finely powdered
This Is all well mixed together into
asmooth paste by means OF wood
en- spatula, and then each egg il
covered with it by hand, gloves be
ing worn'to prevent the corrosive
action of the lime on the hands,
When the eggs are all covered witt
the mixture, they are rolled in
mass of staw ashes, and then placet
in the basket with balls Of rice
boiled, we presume--to keep tn
: eggs from touching cachothcr.-
About 100 to $50 eggs are placed il
ono basket. In about three month
the whole becomes hardened into
. crust, and tho eggs are sent to mai
! e kct F.; the retail price Of such eggs
. generally less than penny each.-
: These eggs arc highly esteemed ]
:. China, and always served in goo
= houses; bnt they have undergone
I, strange transformation, Which ce
. tainly would not recommend thcl
- : to English palates; the yolk has a

'' the white is set. When broke
:. they emit that unpleasant sulphu
:" Gus smell which would certain
n cause their instant banishmcnt fro
!, - our breakfast-table. However Z
:. Chinese are admitted, evenly Fren
w men, to be great gou,ancnts and
can only say, therefore, that in qu'
tions Of eating there is certainly
q .disputing about tastes.

ucation, mode of governing schools, and other
kindred subjects, have been given by the
county supervisors, while the discussions
have brought out the good and bad features
of our school system. While there has been
no disposition to admit that our present school
system is totally inefficient yet it has been
apparent that the cause of public education
has not advanced equally with the other in
terests of the State; and that in view of this
want of progress certain new agencies and
legislation are absolutely demanded. The
new agencies employed the past year have
given an impetus to the educational work of
this State which has been felt not only within
the limits of our own State, but has drawn to
it the attention of all the other New England
States, who are anxiously awaiting our fur
Their action in this direction. The gentlemen
comprising the educational board generally
appear not only to understand the theory but
the practice of education; skilled not only to
make general suggestions, but to manipulate
the school in its details. Classification and
methods of instruction are the great weak
points in our present school work, or rather
want of work, two important points in which
both our teachers and the town committees
are in great degree unqualified. In sup
port of this we know that many ofour schools
have been enhanced in value more than twen-
ty-fve per cent. while the general public feel
ing has been in a like manner Awakened
These facts haye been brought out fully in the
essays and discussions of the board, the ses-
sions of which have been characterized by
harmony and earnest work, while each men,
Der has evidently preserved his indiv duality.
There has been Il disposition in many quar-
tiers to look upon the office of State Superin-
these were the views of the present incum-
bent, who entered upon his duties with the
understanding that new agencies should be
employed to accomplish positive results in
the educational field. AT the meeting of the
National Association of Teachers held last
August in Trenton N. j., State Superintend-
ent johnson was made one of the Vice Presi-
dents, and placed on several important com
mittees. At the next meeting in Washing
ton, the first of March, he has been selected
to give an essay on School Supervision, its
necessity, and the best system of rendering it
complete. We state this in connection with
our report of the closing proceedings of the
educational board to show the opinion that
is entertained in other States of those who are
at the head of our educational officers.

VIRGINIA..

The Boston Journal of the 10Th saws in
relation to the admission of Virginia, Mr..
Stewart of Nevada did the best that he
could do in favor of the immediate pas
sage of the unconditional Bingham bill,
but Mr.. Sumner fought the good fight"
against it, and sealed its fate. At one time
it even looked as though the question ofre-
admitting the Old Dominion would be com
mitted to the charge of special commit
tee, and the advocates of speedy admission
became so much alarmed that they voted
i'm favor of the Edmunds amendment
When this had been adopted, by vote of
40 ayes to 16 nays, Mr. Edmunds moved
a second amendment, providing that Vir-
ginia should not be entitled to representa-
ton until next March. This would guaran-
ty the adoption ofthe Fifteenth Amendment
before that time by the Legislature of the
State; but it was stoutly opposed by the
unconditional admission men, and while
it was being discussed the Senate ad-
iourned.
Upon the same subject the Boston Adj
vertiser says: The Virginia bill occupied
another day in the Senate, and has not yet
reached it's final stage. The amendment
of Mr.. Edmunds for the enforcement of
the 18th amendment was adopted finally
by pretty nearly party vote. A number
of those who answered in the negative
when the roll was first called changed to
the affirmative as soon as they saw the
clause was sure to be carried. The bill
must now go back to the House, where the
whole question is likely to be again opened.
There is a possibility, but no certainty,
that it will be finished by the Senate to-
morrow.

bays; extending from Isle au Haul in the
south to Katahdin in the north. The latter
however is in full view from the highway, for
more than mile. In winter, it looks like a

overcast, except a small space at the north !;
the sun shining on Katahdin gives it a golden
hue which is very beautiful

Mr.. Albert s. Fabyan, a butcher in the en-

FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT SECURE.

The Fifteenth Amendment is now GER
tain to be ratified and become a part of
the Constitution Of the United States.
Ohio and Iowa have ratified it, the former
through much hesitation and difficulty
and in the House by only two votes, the
vote standing 81 to 50. The number of
States is thirtyseven, consequently the
number necessary to ratify the amend
ment is twenty-eight. Twenty-seven have
already ratified it, as follows:
Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut,
Florida, illinois, indiana.
Kansas Louisiana, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi Missouri, Nevada
New Hampshire, New ork. North Carolina
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, south Carolina
Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia,
Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa,
SO there is only one more State neces-
sary to make the ratification complete, if
New York is counted in, and we are sure
of the vote of Texas, Nebraska, and Geor-
gia in favor of it, which gives one more
than is needed even with New York left
out.
With this amendment to the Constitu-
ton there is less necessity of imposing
hard conditions upon Virginia in order for
admission, since the fourteenth and fif-
teenth amendments contain all the safe
guards the freedmen need, the violating
of which by any Reconstructed State
would be sufficient ground for the inter-
position of Congress. In this opinion we
believe there is no division among repub-
licans.
