There is no grain rolished so well by
fowls as corn. 1t must always be and is
now the American poulteror's main reliance,
for although too fattening to use in certain
cases, it possesses more nutriment Tor the
price than any other grain, and IS always
to be obtained. Corn can be given ground
or unground, raw or cooked. Oats we pre-
fer ground fine, as otherwise the hulls arc
too harsh and husky, With whcot-bran
and middlinrs, wheat in the kernel, barley
and buckwheat, there need be no difficulty
in avoiding monotony. Rye, though the
poorest grain Of all, may be given occa-
sionaly, and brewers grains, if convenient.
Condiments in poultry diet. Cayenne
pepper, mustard, or ginger can with great
benefit, be added to the food Of fowls, to
increase their vig)r, and stimulate egg pro-
duction This apparently artificial dict
will be seen to be natural if we remember
that wild birds of the galInaceous species
get access to very many highly-spiced ber-
ries and bugs articles that give the game
flavor" to their flesh. The ordinary food
of the domestic fowl is not, indeed, entirely
without'some such addition, since there is
more or less Of an aromatic principle in
wheat, corn and other grains Neyerthe-
less it is not sufficient in quantity to sup
ply the place of the fowls constitution. A
moderate quantity Of cayenne, etc, added
to the ground grain, is always productive
Of health and thrift in poultry.

the public moneys by reason OF the clause in the
Charter which fOrbd appropriations IN aid OF religious
or denominationa schools. The chief point Of inquiry
as stated by the chairman Henry p West was whether
during school hours any religious instruction was gwen
which was at all sectaran in its character and whether
the course OF instruction had for its object any
thing beyond the mental Improvement of the pupils
A broader view Of the law would also obige the
Committee TO inquire if the influence Of any such nstl-
tuition outside OF the school tended to sectarian preu-
dice The meeting long one, as most OF the repre-
sentatives wandered from the main question: They all
aimed 10 show that their instruction followed closely

THE ALLEGED BOND FORGERY.


James NJ. johnson, the Williamsburgh law
yer arrested Sunday last by Capt Walsh for alleged
altering OF Buffalo, NewYOrk aud Erie Railroad bonds,
on Thursday confessed Judgment in 5000 70 ". f..
Howe Capt Walsh who is said 10 have taken 5000 In
cash from Johnson for keeping refused TO give mp
the money without order 10 hand it TO the Sheriff
ExJudge Cardozo yesterday obtained order from
Judge Fancher TO examine Capt Walsh TO the money
found On johnson.
The Essex Market Police Court crowded yester-
day afternoon n the expectation that JohnsOns case,
which had been frequently adjourned, would be dis
posed If. The prisoner was brought into court at 5
o'clock and remained for time closeted with his
counsel The prosecutor not having appeared at $780,
VIM f. Howe counsel for johnson, moved for his dis
charge on the ground that the evidence against him was
ussning and that the frequent applications for post
ponement the part OF the prosecution were sufficient
10 show the weakness Of the case. Justice Shaudley
informed from the DistrictAtt0rney's office that the
nrisoper had been indicted by the Grand Jury THIS
action of the DisrcA tOrney he felt TO be unwarrant
able and in all his experience he had never known
ANYTHING like il. The prosecution had applied for ana
obtained more than adjournment, and had now
matter OF that court. He should, though
without the slightest hope OF the appearance OF the
prosecutor adjourn the case until Monday and mean-
while should see the District-AttOrney.
Counsel for the accused, In reply, protested against
the detention OF the prisoner holding that the latter had
taken proper 10 ascertain whether the bonds
were good, and having received favorable answer had
proceeded accordingly He held therefore that there
was no against him. He hoped that the Justice
would insist the eXamn atoms taking place In that
court At this point Capt Walsh entered, and informed
Judge shandley that he bad been served with Nrlt
compelling him TO produce the prisoner before Judge
Fancer the Supreme Court, Chambers The prisoner
was then remanded TO the Seventeenth Precinct Station

CONDITION OF THE PUBLIC BATHS.

A representative of THE TRIBUNE has con-
yersed with John Mcneil Of the keepers of the
free baths at the foot Ffthst East River with refer
ence to the alleged filthy condition and bad manage
nent OF the public baths The statements obtained we're
in substance as follows Since the establishment of the
free baths they have never been suffered 10 become
filthy to any extent and great pains taken 10
keep them in good condition. The great numbers which
patronze them render il impossible perfectly TO please
every one and Misrepresentation consequently
natural There have been some losses through pick
pockets but this owing the disobedenee Of the
nlaton which requires vauabes to be left in charge of
the keeper while the are bathing Certain rooms
re also provided with locks which those having valua-
hles with them may use the rules too the length OF
time person shall be allowed TO remain in the water is
limited but persons informed OF the expiration OF ther
time feel grossly nslted which leads TO malicious mis-
represenaons while the numbers who stay over their
time tend to overcrOwd the baths. In Mr. McNellPs
view II would a good idea TO place second bath in
the neighborhood OF Ffhst which would tend TO lessen
he crowds which frequent the present one The baths
will probably be closed late III September.
