North Carolina senaforsI.ip.

Considerable interest is being manifested
at Raleigh and Washington, in regard to
the Senatorship from this State, to which
Governor VANCE was elected last winter.
Governor VANCE has authorized friend
to say that he is only waiting to get a vote
on his petition for the removal Of his disa-
bilities If that vote is against him he will
resign promptly. Some restlessness seems
to exist among the members OF tie Legis-
lattlre in regard to the matter. All propO-
stions, calling upon Governor VANCE TO
resign and to so into an election, have been
very paremptorily voted down.
How much this reStleSsness arises from
the fear Of the success Of the efforts that
Abbott is making to steal the place, we do
not know. Ills claim is based only on I'M
pudence and the well-knOwn partisanship
Of the Senate. Admitting the pretense
which he sets up, that the votes cast for
Gov. VANCE were Illegal, his own preten-
sions fall to the ground rs nc did not re-
ceiva a majority Of a quorUun, without
which robustness, even of the most trivial
character, can be traLsacted.
Notwithstanding this, the Washington
Chronicle SAYS Abbott VIII be admitted, aid
he is now in Washington trying to secure
his admission. If lie succeeds il will not be
the first time the Senate has robbed North
Carolina Of its Constitutional rights, nor
will il be tire first outrage upon our people,
which the distinguished soldier and states
man ftom New Hampshire, has assisted in
perpetratins.
As httle accustomed as We are to expect
Justice or regard for our rights from Con-
gress, We arc not prepared for this fresh iii
suit ana outrage. We trust, however, that
Governor VANCE viii push his petition to
a vote rs early as possible, i'll order that a
question 50 irritating, and which may he at
tended with mischief, may be settled. Ou
feelings towards him, personally and pohti-
cally, are very kind, and We should be most
happy to see linn seated. lie holds, in an
extraordinary degree, the confidence Of oul
people, and he would make them a mos
able and worthy Senator. We are satisfied
that he VIII not leopard their rights, nol
will le continue ii office after he becomes
satisfied that there is no reasonable hope
for his admission.

"No."

has been "fOul play" or not, Aaron Little
could never fully determine; but he was
in no doubt as to one thing, and that was
the easy condition of the money market
after the lapse of half year.
For four or five months previous to Mrs.
Little's administration Of affairs, he was on
the street for nearly half of his time dur
ing business hours, engaged in the work of
money raising now his regular receipts had
got in advance of his payments, so that his
balance on the morning Of each day was
usually in excess of the notes to be lifted.
OF course he could give more attention to
business; and Of course business increased
and grew more profitable under the improv-
ed system. BY the end Of the year, to use
his own words, he was "all right" Not so

liable result.
When the fact of the failure and the cause
which led to it became known to MI Little
he remarked, with a shrug:
E"I'm sorrow for B.; but he should
have told his wife"
''Of what ?'' asked the person to whom
he addressed the remark.

Preservation Of Eggs.

The subject of the preservation of eggs
has recently attracted great deal of at
tention, and many methods of effecting it
have been published, though none are al
together perfect, for the simple reason that
the true cause of the spelling of tho eggs is
either unknown by those who have at
tempted to furnish us with directions, or
has been lost sight of by them. There
are two efficient causes for the spelling of
eggs, and unless one or both of these are
avoided we cannot hope for success. The
first is exposure to a high temperature and
, the other access of air. 1t may be safely
affirmed that at temperatures bdow 32
degrees Fab, nearly all change ceases in
organic bodies, while very few organic
! substances will bea; continual exposure to
temperature above 80 degrees. The
freezing point is rather too low for the
preservation of eggs in good condition, as
freezing affects the flavor unfavorably but
If We desire to preserve eggs i'll the best
manner we must keep them cool, say at a
temperature below SO degrees if possible
temperature-Which is frequently main
tanned in good cellars. But it will be Of
no use to p nee the eggs i'll u cool cellar if
they have been previously exposed for
hours to II temperature pf over 80 degrees
The collection Of the eggs must, there
foFe, in the first place, engage our atten-
ton. Those who raise poultry, and es-
pecialiy those who keep fowls for the sake
of their eggs, commit a great error when
they fail to remove from their yards these
Sirds who are inclined TO set, and which
consequently take every opportunity Of
warming th3 eggs In the nests. If any one
! will attempt to preserve eggs that have
been subjected to the Matching process for
one or two days, he Will discover the force
, Of this statement.
KOhlcr, of Germany, who owns an ex-
/ tensive poultry-raising establishment, and
who, every winter, preserves thousands Of
eggs without ever losing one. has recently
published an account OF his method Of pro-
ceeding, and has given the following rules
for securing favorable results
1. The nest must be placed in a cool po-
! ntion.
! 2. The fowls that show q tendency to
; set must be removed at once, and placed
N separate Enclosures until this propensity
, has left them.
g. If many hens be confined in the same
inclosure, or use the same nests for laying
their eggs, the eggs ought to be removed
from the nests several times day.
4. The eggs ought to be assorted accord
ing to age, and preserved in boxes with the
covers always partially open. These boxes
must be kept III cool, airy, and perfectly
dry place.
5. At the commencement of winter, the
store of eggs is placed in some room that is
! not heated by fire, but that is, at the same
. time, thoroughly protected from frost
6. The packages are so arranged that the
oldest may be used first.
Eggs treated according to these rules do
not acquire the peculiar taste which is gen
orally the result of the receipts iii vogue for

The European War of ISz2.

Over the entire civilized world can be
heard ''tllc din Of resounding arms" 1t
would seem as if the hecatOmbs of the
FrancO-Irussian war should have satiated
for a while, at least, the MolOch of slaught-
er, but they seem to be only the vanguard
of the great army Of the victims des-
tined to perish for the settlement of am
bilious quarrels, in which they have no per-
s0nal concern. Even in America we may
look for an increase Of armamentS. Al
ready hints have been thrown out Of a ne
cessity to increase the regular army; and
schemes for a protcctoratc over Mexico will
probably be proposed at the approaching
session of Congress. In Europe the pre-
paratiOn for war is universal. Every ma
ton IS aGnnlg or preparing to arm. y 81
gantic contest for the mastery Of Europe is
almost inevitable, and the year 1872 seems
destined to eclipse the bloody fame cf 1870.
There was some hope, a few
years ago, that the progress Of
civilization and christianity would Ill
minish the prevalence Of war, but this hope
seems doomed to disappointment. The old
school Of diplomacy in Europe, the school
of TalIeyrand and his contempories,-with
all It's blundeTs and iniquities, had never
theleoS established sound dOctrine-that
OF the European balance ot power. Tie
application Of this principle procured to
Europe forty years of peace. But the
Crmean war was its last enforcement, and
since that time the equilibrium has been
completely destroyed, SO that now there is
prospect Of intt!1ninable wars, until 1t Is
again re-establIshed. 1t is curious to review
the blunders OF modern diplomacy-Dlun-
delS such as to make the statesmen Of for
mer days grOan i'll their graves. The pre-
sent cay seems to be an era OF DaITenneoS
all over the Wolld. just as We have no
more Clays, CalhOuns and WeDsters, SO i'll
Europe they have no more Pitts Or IalIlcrS-
tons or 1Aliey yrands, unless we except
Bismarck. one OF the greatest blunders
ever committed by british statesmen, Was
to permit the crushing out Of the Southern
Couttueracy, which would have established
a balance Of power on TINS continent. This
error has been followed by a policy Of non
interference which has left her without allies
and almost without influence. France
committed similar error by not interfering
in the Austro-Prussan war in IeG6-anu
most dearly las she paid for it. In the
same way did Russia blunder by not inter
ing i'll the last war before France was ut
terly crushed. Now she finds herself on
the eve Of great war with Prussia and
Austria united against her, and no
allies to support her, for France
IS still too weak and distracted to
dream of revenge. it is the policy
OF Prussia to begin the struggle before
France has revived sufficiently to take part
IN 1t, and We may expect hostilitics in the
Spring if not before
In the meantime, if our gracious and
pert-rlal government will leave us in peace
let us produce much meat and brcadstufs
cotton and naval stores, and we may hone
TO profit by misfortunes which we caunot
prevent, and for which we are not response
