that form the appropriate food for young
chickens. Therefore, for the first two or
three days they should be fed with yolks
of hard boiled egge, chopped fine and
mixed with an equal quantity of good
sweet bread crumbs. This will pay, as
it is well to give the chicks a good start
in lite, at the commencement. Then, for
about fortnight, feed with two-thirds
of the best corn meal, add to this boiled

meat, feeding with meal, cracked corn
and wheat. But if in city yard or other
place where the forage is scarce, then
continue the wheat all through. The old
fashioned way OF feeding nothing but
corn-dough answers very well in place
where there are great quantities of in
sects. At first, feed six or eight times a
day, and less often as they grow older.
Feed enough at time to have little
left, and when this is gone, feed again
very soon. Give whole corn as soon as
they are old enough to swallow it. and
as great a variety Of other things as pos
sible; bran, wheat screenings, oatmeal,

be the slightest parsimony in feeding
chickens. You can not make them grow
too fast or make them too fat while gain
ing their growth. With adult fowls the
case is different in respect to fattening.
Growing chickens mustbe supplied with
pounded shells, bone dust, or lime in
some form, il strong frames are desired.

0M0thor'sD Letter to Beecher.

The following is the letter written by
Mrs. Morse, Mrs. Tilton's mother, to Mr..
Beecher, Oct. "a, 1873, and read in court
last Friday:
"MY DEAR SON: You must pardon
me for the reqhest l now make. Can
you help me in any way by the first OF
November l am still alone, with no
prospect of any one, with rent of 81 500
and an income of $1,000. The conse-
Quence is, with other expenses. l shall
be by the first of the month terribly be-
hindhand, as agreed to pay in monthly
installments.
81 know full we'll have no claim upon
you in any way lsic.] excepting your
condition. If could be released from
the house should gladly do so, for Pm
convinced it's too far out. All who have
been to see my rooms say so. My darling
spent most of yesterday with me. She
said all she had in the way of money was
forty dollars per week, which was for
food and all other household expenses
aside from rent, and this was given her
by hand Of Annie Tilton every Saturday.
l6you know anything of the amount it
takes to find food for eight people, you
must know there's little left for clothing.
She told me he r.. did not take any
meals home from the fact that she could
not get such food as he liked, to nourish
Moulton's. Just think of thatl
II am almost crazy with the thought.
Do come and see me. will promise
that the secret of her life,' as she calls
it, shall not be mentioned. know it's
hard to bring it up, as you must have
suffered intensely, and We all will, fear,
till released by death. Do you ever pray
for me. If not, pray do. 1 never felt
more rebelli0us than now, more need of
Gods and human help. Do you know
think it strange you should ask me to
call you SON. When I1have told dar-
ling, 1 felt if you could, in safety to your
self and all concerned, you would be to
me all this endearing name. Am mis-
taken? MOTHER"
The New York Sun says OF its effect
as read by counsel:
"This letter was the most telling in
exhibited effect upon the audience of
any thing read yesterday. The passage
which represented Mr.. Tilton as seeking
food that would nourish his brain was
laughed at; but the sentence that came
after it, in which Mrs. Morse alluded to
the "secrep of her daughters life, was
soberly and intently received. When
MIR. Fullerton read the signature, "Moth-
er," aud paused for it to settle into the
memory OF the jurymen, there arose a
hum Of whispering in all parts of the
room. 1t was the most significant ex-
preston of feeling that has occurred in
court since the trial began. All the'pre-
vious documents had been either familiar
or Of little consequence. This seemed to
be receivsd as new, although it had been
included in Mr.. Moulton's published
statement. As read by Mr.. Fullerton, it
had significance which was revelation
to any but students Of the scandal"

Considerable excitement was created
in the courtroom when evidence came
out indicating that General Tracy-one
of MIR. Beecher's att0rneys-would prob.
ably be called as witness against him
Moulton testified that he and Beeche1
consulted General Tracy when the scan
dai was first noised abroad, and told him
denial, adding that although he did not
believe in lying as rule, yet this was a
case where'he should consider it advisa.

Editors Of the Courier:
Several gentlemen have already been

candidates for the Speakership of the

among the prominent names that Of Hon.
james NJ Mason, Of Jefferson county. This
gentleman comes from section Of country
which. like our own, Is accustomed TO
give large Democratic majlrities without re-
ceviug much substantial recognition al the
hands Of the Democratic party. His selection
would be a merited compliment to a portion
Of our State which has done much TO maintain
Democratic asceudency in West Virginia
which contains within itself large share Of
the culture and the taxable wealth Of the
state. and which has modestly RETAINED from
demanding representation in the prominent
places Of our State government. In point Of
pc;s nal qualification, Mr.. Mason is the peer
Of any man in our State. Descended from an
ancestry Of historic distinction IN pDbrc az
flirs. he would bring 20 the chair Of the House
a natural ability of tho very highest ORDER
splendid legal and literary attsiuments.
courtesy Of manner that would make his ru-
ling acceptable and popular and personal
integrity that would place the organization
under his control on an assured basis Of Justice
fitness and impartiality. Without diSparging
the merits Of others. | think Mr. Mason is
beyond question the man for the place.
