The Hlatehin1 OF R11a.

There seems to have been something
abnormal in the condition of the at
mosPhere or of the hens last spring
that prevented incubation. The com
plant of bad luck is very general, or
the unlucky ones have reported more
generally than usual. It comes not
only from novices, but from poultry
men Of orthodox standing, who could
could count their chickens, as they
thought, before they were Matched.
Connecticut thinks the trouble lies in
prevalent custom of crowding hens
into small yards, reserving nineteen
reasons until this shall have been prov
ed Insufficient. ''Obio thinks this can
not be the cause, inasmuch as many
hens in small yards hatch triumphant
~, while some hens running at large
make an entire failure. Another very
plausible theory attributes the cause to
the uncommon dryness OF the month
Of May and the early spring. Some
breeders who Practice sprinkling the
eggs every other day when the hen
comes off to feed, succeeded as we'll
may be doubted Whether 1 this 18th theor ~

herself does not wet her feathers, and
her eggs do not get vet during incuba-
ton. Her first impulse on leaving the
nest is to roll in dry dust, and the
drier the better. The thunder theory
ia no more reasonable. Hardly q season
passes without thunder in tho sprinx.
and yet the eggs hatch. There was no
unusual display Of electricity this sea-
son. With all the shortcomings of the
hens from whom We have heard, we
suspect that the great majority of quiet
non-cackling' birds have had about the
usual success in Matching, and that the
price Of poultry, except among the
amateur breeders, will not be affected
the value Of one mill in the dollar by
any peculiarly of the Matching season.
As the fancy breeds, we suspect there
has always been a slight discrepancy
between the chickens counted before
und after Matching, and that narrow
quarters if likely to increase this diff

MARYLAND.

After stating the relative strength Of th
political parties in the several counties in
Maryland The Baltimore american, the lead
ing Republican paper in the State, arrives
at the conclusion that the parties in Mary
land are decidedly mixed. It admits that
the Republicans cannot secure majority in
the State Senate, but believes a majority in
the House of delegates large enough to
constitute a majority on joint ballot is at
least within the bounds of possibility, and
therefore the interest in the present contest
centres liz the canvass for the House of de-
legstes especially, as the Republicans hope
to be able TO elect United States Senator
in place of the incumbent, Mr.. Hamilton,
whose successor is to be chosen by the
Legislature that will be elected this fall.
The american shows that there has been
S general revolt against ring rule, and that
party allegiance seems 10 be weakening on
all sides.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Of the 9th
inst, noticing the close of the fourth annu.
al exposition in that city, says: "The total
number Of attendance from the Sd of Sep.
tembsr 10 the 4th Of October, inclusive, is
50765S, or 104,s65 less than the whole
number in attendance az the exposition of
1872. Various causes are assigned for this
falling off, some ascribipg it to the money
panic, while others maintain that It is a
natural consequence Of rival expositions,
such as that at indianapolis" The Com
merciaI advocates the holding of an OK posi-
ton next yesr, and the erection of more
suitable buildings for the purpose-some-
thing like those Of Louisville and Indisnap-
olis-which shall remain a permanent fix
ture Of the city.

THE act Of the last Congress to prevent
cruelty to animals in transit by railroad,
etc, was designed by its trainers to 90 into
operation on the first Of this month; but the
original document as it was passed, gives
tie date of enforcement as "tbe first day
of October, eighteen hundred and seventy
t'co," so that legally it has been in force
from the moment Ct its signature last
March. The law is go defective in other
respects, that its enforcement will be found
almost impracticable. Little good is ex-
pec!ed of it, beyond the ''moral effect" it
may have on shippers.

derfully. A few years ago game of base
ball played between famous clubs was con-
sidered of such Importance that the news
papers dispatched special reporters to des-
cribe the games and players, who were the
objects of envy and admiration. Whole
columns were devoted to this subject, and a
nomenclature was invented for base ball
that required almost as much study to
master it as would be needed to master a
modern language. Now q game Of base
