The Wonders of q Hens Egg.

The following interesting observation
on the changes that occur from hour To
hour during the incubation OF the hens
egg are from Saturn's reflection: The
hen has scarcely sat on her eggs twelve
hours before some lineaments Of the head
and body of the chicken appear. The
heart may be seen to beat at the END of
the second day ii has at that time some
what the form OF q horseshoe, but no
blood yet appears. AT the end of two
days two vessels of blood are to be dis
tlngulshed, the pulsation of which is
visible; one OF these is the left ventricie,
ana the other the root of the great artery.
AT the fiItieth hour one auricle OF the
neart appears, resembling moose folded
down upon itself. The beating of the
heart Is first observed in the auricle, and
aiterward in the venticle. At the end
OF seventy hours, the wings are distin-
guishable; and on the head two bubbles
are seen for the brain, one for the bill.
and two for the fore and hind part O { the
head. Toward the end of the fourth dav.
the two auricles already visible draw
nearer to the heart than before, Theliv-
erappears toward the fifth dav. At the
END ol seven hours more, the lnnos and

afterwards. the intestines, and loins,
and the upper jaw. AT the one hun
dredth aud forty-iOurth hour two VEN
trlcles are visible, and two drops of
blood instead of the single one which
was seen before. The seventh day the
oraln begins TO have some consistency.
AT the one hundred and nineteenth hour
OF incubation, the bill opens and the
fiesh appears in the breast In four hours
more the breast bone is seen. In six
hours after this the ribs appear, forming
from the back, and the bill is very yisi-
bic, as well as the gall-bladdcr. The bill
becomes green at the end OF two hun
died and thirty-six hours and if the
chlcken he taken out OF its covering, il
evidently moves itself. AT the two hun.
dIed aud sixty-fourth hour the ewes ap-
pear. AT the two hundred and eighty
elShth the ribs are perfect. At three
hundred and thirty-tirst the spleen
draws near the stomach and the lungs to
the chest. At the end OF three hundred
ana nttr-hvc hours the bill frequently
opens and shuts; and at the end of the
eighteenth day the first cry OF the chick
is heard. 1t afterwards gets more
strength and grows continually, till at
length it is enabled to set itself free
from its confinement.

New Sweden.

The following letter to a gentleman in
this city, gives an interesting account OF
the situation in New Sweden Mr.. Uardi-
son, the writer, in the Democratic treas
urer of the Democratic town of Lyndon
and Is a man of long and thorough expert
ence in Aroostook, and, therefore, as well
qualified to judge of what he writes as an Y

ponents are trying to make political cap
tai out of this matter, the testimony of
Mr.. Hardison is of special value
CARIBOU, Aug. 20, 1874.
DEAR SIR:-Your letter was received
last evening on my return from New Swed
en-, where 1, in company with n. s. Luf-
Kin, Esq. had spent the last seven DAYS in
travelling from house to house over the en-
tire colony, including Woodland, Perham
and Lyndon. We have not left one i'm
provement unnoticed. | have not visited
the colony but once or twice in two years.
l was very much surprised at the improve
ments which had been made in that time
Those who have had the least help are the
ones that are doing the best. We were
there during the frosty nights, which have
done but very little damage. Three
fourths of places do not show one mark
OF frost. Most of their crops are looking
splendid and are entirely out of danger
from frost Much of their grain has al
ready been cut, aud number of grists
threshed out ready for the mill. Every
man and woman was either harvesting
their grain or pilng for another crop.
There has been much said about the suf-
fering in New Sweden, and perhaps have
done as much towards exciting the peo
pie as any other man, for was really
alarmed for them. knew they had their
bread to buy this Summer, and they had.
In most cases, to buy with shingles. Shin
giles went down, and it was said traders
were not going TO buy, and that Messrs.
their store in New Sweden About this
time there was not one barrel of -four to be
bought in Caribou. Now think of it.
those people shut up away back there,
II.
with nothing but shingles to buy their
bread with. think that it was enough to
alarm most any people, Mcssrs. league
Il Sawin, however, changed their minds
and in few days put fifty barrels of flour
into New Sweden. Since that time all
have been mostly able to support them
selves with the exception of few sick
families and widows.
Most every family has one cow quite a
number have two; there as many COWS
in the colony as there are families. Their
cows look first rate, and it is a wonder to
me how they keep them looking so wei.
There have been some mistakes: one
was in allowing them TO settle on poor
lots. You will recollect what | said about
1t. that the success OF this colony depended
more upon their location than any one
thing. Those that are well located are
doing well and are hopeful, while Others
are disappointed.
AS whole, it is success, in my mind.
The colony has raised ten months bread
this season sure. l made particular in
quiry of every family how they were get
ting along, and whether they were dis
satisfied or not Their answer was invari-
ably that they were satisfied and had no
wish to leave the county.
Most respectfully yours,
JACoB HARDIsoS.

Bachelor Editors.

The New York correSpon dent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes as follows
concerning several prominent New York
Editors. 1T is a rather singular fact that
so many OF the editors of this city are iv-
ing in state of bachelordom. Bennett.
the immensely rich editor and proprietor
of the New York Herald. Is a solitary
bachelor, though he will soon be forty
Reid. the editor ofthe Tribune. is a soli-
tary bachelor, though he is somewhere
about forty. Marble. the editor of the
World, is a solitary widower of forty; aud
his most brilliant staf writer, Hurlbu IS
a solitary bachelor, though under h..y.
Bundy, the editor of the Mail. is Il soli-
tary bachelor. though over forty. Con-
don of the Tribune, is solitary widower
of over fifty, and in fact, on the daily Press
alone could certainly name score of
leading men who are about forty and wife
less. OF the editors named Bennett is the
wealthest and most athletic; Reid is the
ablest and skillful; Marble is the hand
soonest and calmest; and Hurlburt is the
most thoroughly polished man of the
world. l must warn young or middle
aged maiden ladies looking forward to
matrimonial bliss to avoid these bachelor
editors, because presume such warning
will send scores of these maidens in pur-
suit of them. | wonder that some of them
do not find wives among the intellectual
ladies who write for their papers, or try to
write for them. Such unions might be ex-
pected to provide very blainy successors
to the present editors in the natural order.

will be of some use in the world. She
will not wear the Grecan bend. dance the
German, ignore all possibilities OF know
ing how to work, will not endeavor to
break the heart of unsophisticated young
men, will spell correctly, understand En-
glish before she affects French, will pre-
side with equal grace at the piano or wash
board, will spin more yarn for the house
than the street, will not despise her plain
ly-clad mother, her poor relations or the
hand of an honest worker, will wear bon
net, speak good, plain English, will darn
her own stockings, will know how to
make doughnuts. The coming girl will
walk five miles day, if need be, to keep
her cheeks in glow; will mind her health,
her ply steal developement, and her moth
er; will adept a costume both sensible and
conductive to confOund hypocrisy with
politeness; will not practice lying to
please instead of frankness; will have the
courage to cut an unwelcome acq uaint-
ance; will not think that refinement is
French duplicity; that assumed hospitali-
ty where hate dwells in the heart is bet
ter than out-spoken condemnation: will
not confound grace of movement with sillv
affectation; will not regard the end of her
