Why DO EGGs SPoIL.--Wc find lin.
ing the shell thin skin, which, when
kept in healthy condition by th. albu.
men Of the egg, is imperyions to air; but
if the egg remains too long in one position,
the yolk, being heavier than the albumcn,
gradually sinks through it, and comes in
contact with the skin, and having none
of the qualities requisite for keeping the
skin fabricated and healthy, the skin
soon becomes dry and pervious to air,
which penetrates through it to the yo'k,
causing the mass to rot. Therefore the
true plan is to keep the yelk in central
position. BY doing this, the egg can be
preserved fora long time. The plan for
accomplishing this, is to take keg or
barrel, and pack the eggs on their sides,
end to end, laying tier at first around
next to the slaves, and SO continue until
layer is filed so on until the barrel is
full. Use oats for packing; jar them
down as much as is required to keep
them in their place-head up the barrel
ready for market. BY rolling the barrel
about quarter around every few days,
the yoks of the eggs will be kept as re-
quired. By making chalk marks across
the head of the barrel at right angles
across each other, you will have gnide
for rolling the barrel as required. When
eggs are packed in large quantities for
market, this plan will be found convent
ent and safe.

RAILROAD WoRK.-The Sacramento
Record referring to work up the Caliior-
MIA and Oregon railroad, says: "'The COM
pany expect to construct $50 miles be-
fore winter. The entire distance from
Sacramento TO the State line, where it
will meet with the Oregon and California
(Ben- Holladay's) line, is little over 800
miles. As far as Red Bluffs the country
is level and the work will be easy: but
after reaching this point three ranges of
mountains must be crossed, and some
rather difficult engineering will have to
be done, though nothing SO arduous as
that encountered by the Central Compa-
ny in crossing the Sierras. On their
side the Oregon Company are pushing
their surveys ahead as fast as possible,
and though we, believe it is not yet de-
termined at what point the State line
shall be crossed, the route for hundred
miles or more is surveyed and the line
settled. This road will open up rich
country, and create market for a large
number of interior villages and small
towns that have been retarded heretofore
| by their isolation.

A daughter of A. G. Hedges, of Sag
Harbor, went to her sleeping apartments,
taxing her fathers razor with her. After
disrobing herself, she deliberately cut an
ugly wound across the breast Immediately
over the heart, from three to four inches
in length The razor not reaching the
heart, she drew it across her abdomen,
making wound Of some five or six in
ches long, and SO deep that the bowls
protruded. Her protracted absence ex-
cited the fear of the family, and on search
they found her in this mutilated condition
Physicians were called, and succeeded in
sewing up the gashes, but only after ad-
ministering powerful anasthetic, as the
girl did all in her power to tear the
wounds open, saying she wished to die
The doctors say it is impossible for her
to live. No reason can be assigned tor
the commission of the act.

THE Quo WoMEN-THEY Do Nor
WANT TO VoTE-The women of Ohio
will yet make themselves heard on the
question of suffrage. One hundred and
forty-one of them, living in Lorraine
county, all intelligent and highly educa-
ted, have sent to the Legislature the fol
lowing memorial: g We acknowledge no
inferiority to men. We claim to have no
less ability to perform the duties which
God has imposed upon US, than they
have to perform those imposed upon
them We believe that God has wisely
and well adapted each sex to the proper
perform ances of the duties of each. We
believe our trusts to be as important and
sacred as any that exist. We feel that
our present duties fill up the whole meas
ure of our time and abilities; and that
they are such IS none but ourselves can
perform. Their Importance requires Us
to protest against all effors to co npel US
to assume those obligations which can
not be separated from suffrage; but which
cannot be performed by us without the
sacrifice of the highest interests of our
families and of society. 1t is our fathers,
brothers, husbands and sons, who repre-
sent us at the ballot-box. Our fathers
and brothers love u.s. Our husbands are
our choice, and one with US. Our sons
arc what we make them. We are con-
tent that they represent us in the corn
field, the battle field, and at the ballot
box, and we them in the school room,
at the fire. side and at the cradle; be-
lieving our representation, even at the
ballot box, to be thus more full and i'm ;.
partial than it could possibly be, were all
women allowed to vote. We do, there
fore, respectfully protest against any leg

Taking the negro question out of pol.
itics by the adoption of tho Fifteenth
Amendment, promises to be fatal to the
Democracy. 1t was destroying the assets
after the concern was bankrupt in capital
stock, for what can the party do without
the negro? He was an essential element
to the daily life of tho press-the spice
that gave the twang to Democratic vrato
ry; and now that he has disappeared
from the stage as q citizen, without the
rights of citizen, the spirit of the party
organs is fat as circus lemonade. Tho
effort to lift the sspoor Indian" into the
negro's place was failure, which the,
..Peigan massacre" could not transform
into success. When the negro went
out, nothing came in to point the sting
of Democratic abuse.

FRUIT PRosPEcTs.-The Alton cor
respondent of the st. Lous Democrat
writes as follows in regard to the dam
age done to the fruit crop by the recent
snow storm: There is much anxiety
our coming fruit crop. The reports have
come in from the various orchards and
vineyards within five miles of this city
that all except apples were killed. Fruit
being a very large item of commerce
here, the attention of our people were
drawn to it during the day. On care
full examination of all kinds of fruits,
and in various exposures and localities,
we find. first
1i,ples.-There is no considerable
damage, and good crop is expected.
Apricots--All killed
Z unas.--But few reported alive-only
natives.
Gropes-Almost all gone. Vines that
were lying on the ground have some
buds sufficient for crop. The grape
bud generally was rounded up about the
size of pea, and. almost without
exception, was so frozen that to day they
are as dry as chip. Whole vineyards
in this condition This dormant bud
which will now push forward may have
some fruit, but our experience is that it
will be limited. Therefore. the grape
crop, as such, seems to be gone.
Pears.-Thero is a large damage to
pears repoI ed-more than we find. Bart
let, good crop; Buerre Clifford, fifty per
cent. killed; Seckel, good crop; Dutch
ess, good. Most of the other pears con-
siderably stroyed.
L..erries.-In some localities, even the
common Morillo haif or more killed !;
Duke de Orleans, dead; Rhine Hortense,
GOOD Eerly Richmond, half killed
May Dukes, .air crop.
Peaches.-About all destroyed. All
the time of the cold, the trees were in
ull bloom or nearly SO. We find on the
Crawtords say five per cent. alive, being
buds not yet unfolded, and probably ten
per cent. of E.rly Yorks, which were in
the same condition. Old Nixon FREQ
aud Hale's Early about as the Yorks.

peaches so far as appears.
The fruit crop, with the exception OF
apples. will amount to little, if worth con-

CAN WOMEN FIGHT.-The annals OF
the middle ages are full of the noble
deeds of women When Edward III.
was engaged in his Scottish war, the
Countess of Mardi defended Dunbar,
with uncommon courage and obstinacy
against Montague and an English army.
And contemporaneous with her, Jane,
Countess of Montiford, shut herself up in
the fortress of Henneburn, and defed
the whole power of Charles Of Clois.
Clad in complete armor she stood fore
most in the breach. sustained the most
violent assaults, and displayed a skill that
would have done honor to the most expe-
ricnccd generals. And M:r1a, of the
illustrious family of the Maldini, with
stood siege against the papal troops at
Cesena, ten times more numerous than
her own. Jane Hatchett repulsed, in
person, a body OF Burgundians when they
besieged the town of Eesuvais: In the
chivalrous ages women not only attacked
and defended Notifications but even CON-
manded armies and obtained victories.
Joan of Arc, simple and uneducatcd
shepherdess, was the instrument Of that
sudden revolution in the affairs of France
which terminated in the establishment
of Charles VII. on his throne. Agnes
Soul aroused this King to deeds of glory
when sunk in enervating pleasure. AL
trude, Countess of Bertenora, advanced in
person with an army to the relief of An
coma. Bona Lombardi, at the head Of
her brave troops, liberated her husband
from captivity and imprisonment. Isabella
Of Lorraine, when her husband was taken
prisoner, rallied an army for his rescuc
Margaret of Anjou was the life of the
Lancasterian party in the wars of the
Roses, and defeated, herself, the Duke Of
York at Wakefield The Countess Ma
tilda sustained sieges against Henry W.,
the great Francenian emperor.

| A VAST IMMIGRATION SCHEME
The st. Paul Press announces that ex-
Secretary McCullooh, Senator Carl Shurz
and Ex-Governor Marshall, of Minnesota,
have been selected, and will be invited
by the Northern Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny to go to Europe on a mission to or
ganize and stimulate emigration to the
line of the road and the settlement of its
lands, on plan more comprehensive and
extended than any heretofore devised.
The company own every alternate section
in a belt forty miles wide, from the head
of Lake Superior to the Pacific Ocean,
equivalent to strip Of twenty miles
wide, in all between thirty and forty mil
lion acres of land, "a territory greater in
extent than all New England, and capa-
BILE of sustaining five or six millions of
people. They have already arranged
with German capitalists for all means
necessary to the construction of the road
with the largest force they can employ.
They propose to offer to every immigrant
in Europe abundant employment in
building the road for the first year or two
after his arrival. Whether they assist in
his passage here is not stated. When he
has finished his work for the company he
is to have farm of forty, eighty, or one
hundred and sixty acres, with neat
frame building erected thereon, and lot
of reasonable size fenced in, all at the
expense of the company. The terms of
payment are so long, and on SO low inter-
est, that they cannot prove a burden to
the poorest. 1t is expected that the sur
plus wages received for constructing the
road will stock the farm and provide the
tools, SO that every person employed in
the construction Of the road may, as soon
as it is finished, go to raising the crops,
which it will bring to market. The COM
pany will manufacture the houses by
thousands, exactly alike, like fhesparts of
a Springfield rifle or Elsin watch, so that
each piece of any one structure will fit
the corresponding piece of any other.
They expect, in this manner, to secure an
abundant and immediate supply of cheap
labor, and to Immediately enhance the
value of their lands by the rapid settling
up Of the line of their road The present
is peculiarly favorable time for inaug-
urating such an enterprise, in view Of the
distressed condition of the laboring class
in England and other parts of Northern
Europe, and the universal desire of the
European working classes to get to Amer
lea by all means within their reach. The
unasslsted immi grafton of the past year is
about so, 900 In excess of the year before,
as indicated by the arrivals at New York.
Everything promises an immigration
during the present year exceeding any
thing ever before known in our history.
This will be exceedingly desirable, in
view of the high prices of labor prevail
| ing among farmers in our agricultural
DISTRICTS Chicago Tribune.
