said, after we'd each had cheekful of
whisky. ''IIer Royal Majesty has taken
your case into her gracious consideration,

"The devil save you'll" said Terence
And so they went on with their aggra-

they came to blows; Terence had his
cudgel with him, Andrew broke the leg

out of the way, but the table was upset
among 'em, heavy oak table, the edge of
which hit me on the nose, and tapped my

were great gaps in his row of shining
teeth, his tall hat was knocked into the

Eggs by the POund.

THERE seems to be no good reason why
eggs should not be sold by the pound, the
same as other animals products; we are,
therefore, not surprised to learn that the
matter has been brought to the attention
of the Legislature of Massachusetts, and it
has been enacted that eggs shall be sold
in that State, hereafter, by the pound 1t
is alleged by the parties interested, that
there has been within the last few years
an increase in the proportion of small
produced and imported into the
State; and considering that the present
size did not fairly represent dozen, they
sought legislative protection. At a time
when eggs were worth but eight or ten
cents a dozen, it made little difference
whether dozen eggs weighed a pound or
a pound and half, and as selling by
count was the most convenient, it was
most readily adopted; but at the present
time, when, in the city markets, eggs
range in price from thirty to sixty cents a
dozen, even going to dollar, occasio1 ally,
1t is OF some Importance to th0se OF
moderate means who are compelled to
purchase at all times, that they do not
lose twenty per cent. in weight by having
small eggs dOled out to them. 1t is mat
ter of surprise that eggs should still be
sold by count, while potatoes, apples, and,
in fact, many articles less valuable and
just as easily counted, are sold by weight.
Aside from rendering justice to both pro
ducer and consumer, it will have the
effect of increasing the production of this
healthful and nutritious article of diet,
encouraging the rearing of those breeds
of fowls which really lay the greatest
weight of eggs, both by their great num-
Der and large size.-NationaZ Lice Stock

Mrs. WooDHULL's experience out
West would show that the waters Of free
love, like those Of true, do not always
run smoothly. She was no sooner ac-
quilted at Jackson, (Mich.) Of the charge
of selling obscene literature, the other day,
than she found herself in worse scrape at
Ann Harbor, in the same state. Here her
audience hooted and jeered her, and
finally, though she showed herself a cour-
ageous woman, she was forced to leave the
platform and then, it appears, there was
scene of wild confusion, ending with
following the lady to her hotel, exactly
with what purpose is not known. Of
course, Mrs. Woodruff will make capital
from the affair. That sort of business
will be tolerated in no well-regulated
community, and if the friends of the lady
insist that she shall lecture in Ann Harbor,
under their protection, nobody need be
astonished. laae bga nilo5a E

Mr.. ALEXANDER AGAssIZ, the only
son of the late distinguished naturalist, ac-
cording to The Boston Transcript, inherits,
in marked degree, the ability and the
taste for patient, thorough investigation
possessed by his father. In proof of this
1t refers to the mark of this distinguished
merit recently conferred upon him by the
Boston Society of Natural History, in rec
ignition of the value of his investigations
upon the Echinoderm, for which he re-
ceived the grand honorary prize known
as the Walker prize--it being the first
occasion Of its award. The terms
upon which the prize is given are
that the investigations shall extend over a
period of Fl 70 years, the results of the in.
vestigation to be published at least one
year previous to the decision of the judges,
thus leaving it open to the searching analy-
sis and criticism of all competitors. The
fact that his work successfully passed this
ordeal is in itself an unquestionable proof
of the exhaustive research and scientific
accuracy of his conclusions, and places
him in the front rank of American natural
lists. s4ia aat % 80 ,6'a ,ss.1s
