Eggs...IIOM Increased.

The London Agricultural Ga-eae has the
following If au increase Of eggs are de
sired in the poultry yard, before large sums
Of money are expended in the purchase of
everlasting layers, we would recommend the
keeping of no hens after the first, or at
most, the second year. Early pullets give
the increase, and the only wonder is that
people persist as they do in keeping up a
stock Of old hens, which lay one day and
stop three, instead Of laying three days and
stopping one. In some parts Of England it
is the inyariable rule to keep the pulets
only one year, Feeding will do great deal
"a surprising work indeed-iu the produc
ton OF eggs, but not when old hens are CON
cerned they may put ON fat, but they can
not put down eggs. Their tales are told,
their work is over nothing remains to be
done with them but to give them a smell of
the kitchen fire, and the sooner they get that
the better. OF course there are some old
favorites whose lives can be spared as long as
they can send forth their representatives.
Judcious mating, by which we mean the al.
vantage Of comparatively youthful cock

eggs of the good old hen, aud here we have

A Mllllonalre,s Onlnion.

The following story is told of Jacob Ridge
way, wealthy citizen of Philadelphia, who
died some years ago, leaving fortune of
five or six millions of dollars. "Mr. Ridge
way" said young man, with whom the
millionaire was conyersing, "you are more
to be envied than any man know" "Why
so y responded Mr. Hdgeway, 81 am not
aware OF any particular cause for which
should be particularly envied." "What
sirl' exclaimed the young man in astonish-
ment. Why are you not millionaire
Think of the thousands of dollars your in
come brings every month !" "Well, what
of that 2" replied Mr., Mdgeway all | get
out Of it is my yictuals and clothes. | cant
eat more than one mans allowance, or wear
more than one suit at time pray, can't
you do as much 2" All, but said the
YOUTH think of the hundreds of fine houses
you own aud the rental they bring YOU"
" What better am | off for that 2" replied
the rich man. " | can only live in one house
at a time, and as for the money | receive for
rents, why, | can't eat it or wear it, | can only
use it 10 buy other houses for other people 10

" But You can buy splendid furniture, costly
pictures and fine carriages and horses in
TACT, anything you desire" And after
have bought them," responded Mr.. Ridge
way, what then ! can only took at the
furniture and pictures and the poorest man,
who is not blind, can do the same. | can
ride no easier in a fine carriage than you
can in an omnibus for five cents, without the
trouble of attending to drivers, footmen and

The u. -. Senatorial Investigating
COInnittee-An Important
Matter.

The resolution OF l. s. the Senate for the
investigation of the Mississippi election,
requires a report from the Committee at
the present session Of Congress. which
will not continue longer than three
months. The Committee will visit the
State, and it is contemplated that action
on their report will be taken before ad-
journment. Consequently, the investi'
CATION will be proceeded with at once.
Hence the Importance of action by the
Mississippi Legislature, without delay.
So far from throwing obstacles in the
way of the investigation, we propose that
the Legislature take the matter in hand
and assist in the work. Let it appoint q
committee of competent and able men,
from its own body, and defray the ex-
penses of the investigation by an appro.
priation from the State treasury. 1t is an
affair of the State, not merely of party,
though it was manifestly the intention of
TIE authors OF the movement 10 manu-
facture political capital for the Presi-
Dental election, and to furnish pretext
for harsh legislation as punishment to
the people for the overthrow of carpet
bag rule. The people through their con
stituted authorities must vindicate them
selves from the calumny implied in the
resolution, and must also show the cor
ruption of the Administration which
they have expelled from power through
the lawful and peaceful agency of the
ballot-box. 1t will be the aim of the
authors of the resolution to establish that
the present State Administration, inclu-
ding the Legislature, Governor, and the
new Judiciary, will have no legal exis-
tenee. A matter undertaken by body
as august as the United States Senate is
not an affair to be trifed with. We
trust our Legislature will rise up to the
dignity and Importance of the occasion.

South Mississippi and the Couri
Districts.

We trust that the Legislature will yet
redress the wrong complained of by
South Mississippi in the passage of the
formation of the Judicial Districts. The
people of the section complain not with
out cause, that proper regard for their
rights has not been exhibited by this
action. Something is due to extent Of
territory as we'll as to population. Some
Of the southeastern counties are sparsely
settled, but they extend over a large
scope of country. We would suggest
the wisdom of a supplemental bill giving
A district to what is known as the sea-shore
counties, and therefore unhesitatingl y
endorse the following plan proposed in
the Meridian Mercury. We have the
assurance that it will meet the approval
of the people of that section
Gentlemen of the Legislature, look at the
map, and say if justice does not require
his. Kemper, NeshOba, Lauderdaie, New
ton, Clark, Jasper and Wayne should be one
district. Leake, Scott, Rankin. smith,
simpson, COVlngCon anu LaWTehct >ioulu
be aoothcr district, leaving Green, Jackson,
Harrison, Hancock Pearl, Marion, Perry
aud Jones for third district.
We think there is something besides the
number of days that it will require TO hold a
court-the travel from court 90 court, is an
item not TO be overlooked.
=. There may be dissati- faction in regard to
dividing lines Of districts in other parts OF
the state, but none in regard 10 sic, except
in ours. Let Justice be done to all, by
making the eleventh district, so say we.
Who will be our champion of the mighty
north" or west" to see that justice Is done
to the east? General Featherston, Col.
Perry, and all you brave men, that know
right from wrong, come To our rescue; we
want the help OF the lawyer and granger.
1t is not too late yet. We hear oil no COM
plants from any of The other districts.
They are satisfactory. Without in the least
disturbing others, supplemental bill can
yet be passed, making tire, cut OF these
two districts, which will be perfectly salts

The judicial appointment Is.
Al. FRAN

OsYKA, PIKE CO., MISS, April 4, 1876.
EDITORS CLARION: Now that the Hercu-
lean task of cleansing the Augean stables
has been performed, and Ames and his filthy
crew wiped out, the whole State is looking
anXiously forward to the appointment Of
a sound and enlightened judiciary, This is
a matter in which all favOritism should be
discarded. and fitness for the place alone
considered. For the responsible offices whose
functions are to decide upon the lives, liber-
ties and fortunes of the people, none but
such as are duly and truly qualified, should
be selected.
And here it should be borne in mind that
not every good lawyer makes good Judge
Something more than legal knowledge is
requisite-yea, more is wanted than knOwl
edge and honesty. No one doubted either
the honesty or capacity of Lord Brougham,
yet as judge, he was dtstasteful to the bar,
and, to great extent, to the people of Eng
land. on account of the absence of those
finer characteristics of patience, suavity
and gentle department to the bar and to lit
igaEts, which should ever adorn the bench.
Now, this present writer does not know who
are aspirants for the pending judicial hon
Ors, bat he knows very well that in this, as
in other matters, ''chcek" too often carries
the day against merit. Therefore. it is to
be hoped that the appointing and confirm
ing powers will.be wary, and choose from
the abundant good material of the State
men who will be acceptable to the bar ano
TO the people PIKE.
