One single remedy frequently very

NapeleOn's Spy System in Germany
just Before the War.

The papers which have been found
during the last few days, jpn the posses I.
ion of several persons suspected of being
spies, cast n strange light on the plans
which the French Government has long
entertained with respect TO Germany
The interest which tue second Empire
feels for our country is SO great that it
has considered it necessary to organize
perfect system Of Police for its use. A |
Germany has been divided into French
Police districts, each of which was placed
under an official who bore the title IN
specteur de premiere or de second classe
and had number of agents under him.
Hamburg, Hanovor, Cobence, Weisbad
en-, DC, were the residences of the in.
spectors, while n number Of agents were
spread over the whole country. The
chiefs of the divisions had to send exact
reports to their director ut Paris. Their
annual reports were forwarded to the En-
peror in person. These documents for
the most part, referred to the political q, d
military position of Northern German
The chief task of the agents seems, from
the correspondence as yet discovered. 10
have consisted in attempts to establish
connection with the disafftcted of all
parties, for the purpose of directing their
hopes to France. The activity shown in
this respect was truly astonishing, and the
Imperial Government will only have to
regret that, in the decisive hour, so little
gratitude has been felt for its benevolent
intention. We ha,e right to ask why
foreign Government required so pecu
liar an apparatus in our country. Can
any one, after this discovery, deny that
France has long been preparing to spread
among us that civilization whose mission
aries are the Turcos and the Zephyrs?-

A Frankfort letter of July 80, to the
London News says:
A more unfortunate time for the out
break of hostilities could hardly have
been selected. The crops are nearly
ready for the sickle, and there is but a
scauty supply of labor. Throughout the
vast tract of country l have travelled,
from the fertile valleys of The Rhine and
Moselle to the sandy plains which en-.
compass Berlin, the sight of waving
cornfields was the one which met the
eye. Here and there few women were
cutting down the ripe grain. yet in the
majority of the fields, there were no
signs of the husoandman plying bis nee

the crops appear to be unusually luxuri.
ant. The drought, Of which complaints
are made here as well as elsewhere, does
not seem to have proved very injurious.
1t is expected that the vintage will be
exceptionally good, provided an oppor-
tunity is offered for peaceably plucking
the grapes. When gazing upon the glo-
rions promises of the prolific earth it is
almost impossible TO realize the fact that
a tremendous effort is being made to
undo the work which has been accom-
,pEshed with much toll, and 10 convert
the smiling cornfields and vineyards into
a b1rren and blackened battle ground.

AT this season when eggs are generally
plenty, provision should be made for
keeping a supply over for winter se.-
Many plans have been recommended,
some OF which have been successful, 9th
ers not.
AS our readers are doubtless we'll
aware the pores covering the whole sur
face of egg shells are very numerous
An examination with the naked eve will
disclose multiiudes Of little indentations,
which on closer survey with magnify
ing glass prove to be pores, which pene-
;rate through the shell. Through these
tho air find access to the contents of the
egg, and, evaporating them toa certain
degree, permits further entrance of air
until sufficient is introduced to commence
decomposition. Manifestly the remedy
against this is to close the pores with
some substance iinpervious to air. Lime
water is often recommended, but this
cannot always be relied upon; neither
can sailed water. yarnish nor a partial
boiling of the albumen nes rest the shell,
which last plan is the most often sugges-
ted. by writer's. We have tried 1t faith
fully, and have found that the eggs spoil
nearly as soon as they would had they
not been so prepared.
The plan which we have found to be
most effectual, Is 10 cover the entire shell
with. tallow, which, being melted, pene-
traiesthe pores thoroughly, and then
hardens suddenly. Lard, oil, and butter
answer the purpose for short time, but
they do not remain permanently on the
shell, and as soon as they have dried off,
evaporation of the egg commences

Hopes, fears, joys and tears.

Often brings relief,

Steals away grief.

safes Of short Horns.

Mr.. john Thornton of London
gives a summary of the leading pub
lie sales of Short-HornS in Great
Britain for 1869, from which We
learn that 1. Al head were disposed
of by auction, for an aggregate OF
c52.939 lis. Cd. being an average
per head throughout Of TBS I2s.
cd. Among the number were -
against 30 in 1869 selling for 100
guineas and over, and averaging
fIT0, while the twelve highest
among them averaged nearly $500.
"One feature of the year, SAYS Mr..
T.. 1has been the demand for good
bred stock by large dairy farmers:
the high price OF beef may have en-
couraged this, as well as the cult
vation OF milking properties on the
part Of Il large number Of breeders.
The foreigu trade has also been good,
and in private business the demand
for pure animals has been almost
greater than the supply.
A corresponding statement for
1868, shows the sale during that
year of I,423 head, averaging E35
Is, and it is little singular that the
averages for the two years should be
so nearly the same. The highest
price mentioned in 1868, was f400
for Princes COW; the highest in
1869, 650 guineas for a bull.
