CALIFORNIA QUA1Ls AS DOMESTIC Fowls

CALIFORNIA QUAILs AS DOMESTIC Fowls.
mir. James Littlehale has for a yearSor
two been raising quails in a very successful
way. He recently set fifty quail egg under
n hen, three days since, thirty-eight Of the
liyliest humblebees ever seen were hatched
out. They seem to take particular delight
in their big mother, gathering around and
under her constantly, obeying her call and
taking the food she scratches tor them,
while she is the proudest old hen that ever
laid an egg or raised a family. Mr.. Little
hale has, besides, thirty or forty grown
quails that keep the family in egg, which,
although small, he asserts to be of finer and
richer flavor than any other he ever ate.
Tn quails are of two species, the mountain
quail, brown, with white and black spots,
and the valley quails, blush slate color,
with black tufts on head, breast and wings.

A GOOD LAYER.-E. Z. Scio, Ohio, writes
to the Country Gentleman to say that he has
a light Brahma hen " that layed eighty-three
eggs in ninety days after spending ten days
in clucking she commenced laying again,
and has, since layed fifty-one eggs in fifty
five days, and still continues laying"

THE POULTRY YARD.
PLYMOUTH ROCKS.

This excellent preeQ OF louis mas now
stood the test of many years and is constant
" growing in favor and popularity. They
are most prolific layers both in summer and
winter, and the person possessing a few OF
them need be without eggs at no time du-
ring the year. They are not non-sitters,
but are not such persistent sitters as the
Asiatics, being easily broken up, and when
broken from their broody propensities, they
resume their duties as layers within a few
days, thus loosing very little time. But
when allowed to sit and bring out chickens
they make good mothers, being very care
FIJI of their brood and protect them bravely.
They will not carry a brood of chickens,
however, as long as most other varieties, as
they want to 60 to laying again sooner. |
have had two Plymouth Rock hens carry
broods of chickens this year and lay each an
egg every day during the last two weeks
they were with them.
They are a very hardy fowl, and I should
think they are well adapted to withstand the
Canadian winters, or any country subject to
climatic changes. They are not SO very
choice in their diet, and will eat almost any
thing which is convertible into flesh or
eggs, and are great vegetarians, being fond
Of vegetables, and will devour p~lantain
leaves voraciously, especially if they have
been confined for a time.
The young chicks are hardy, grow out
roundly and rapidly, feather out fast, and
seldom or never die of gaps, or other dis
eases which usually carry off young chick
ens-at least such is my experience with
them, in breeding them a number of years,
never having lost one of them with the
gaps.
The cocks run in different shades, from
light silver gray to dark Dominique.
For breeding purposes a middling light
cock is best, but a darker one is generally
preferred for exhibition purposes, in order
to come nearer the color of the hens which
are mostly dark.
AS | receive numerous inquiries from cor
respondents, asking for Information as to
the characteristics of this variety of fowls, |
have condensed some of the leading one in
the above article, which may be of interest
to your readers, and which will save writing
SO much to individual parties.-Cor. Canada

BERLIN, January 2s.-The rejection by
the Reichstag Of additions to the penal
code for further restricting the clergy, by
prohibiting the posting Of Objectionable
communications 6nthe doors Of churches,
occasions general surprise. Itwas. in
tended as a supplement TO previous bill
prohibiting The abuse OF the pulpit. The
latter bill was evaded by placarding OBJ
jectionable communications on theclurch
doors, or BY, pamphlet pastoral, and. the
proposed clauses would have, applied the
pulpit law to, those communications.
A compromise has been reached by the
majority Of the Reichstag, including the
National Liberals and Liberal Conserva-
.tives, regarding the, proposed Arnim
clauses TO the penal code, that in order
10 make diplomatic servants punishable,
the intention to offend must b, proved.

Camp of Indians Attacked by
Cavalry and Dispersed.

LEAvENwoRTH, January 29.-Aspecial
to the Lea yenworth Times from Camp Sup
ly,Indian Territory, says that on the
night OF the 10Th inst. messenger arriv-
ed at that post with the news that par
ty Of ,Osages hid stolen fifty head Of cattle
from the eanpof Lee &.Reynolds, about
thirty-five miles south Of this place. The
herders had followed the trail for fifteen
miles, but being unable to oyertake the
Indians had sent into this place to pro-
cure aid. Major Gordon, OF the Fifth
Cavalry, commanding the post, immedi-
ately ordered pursuit, and Lieutenant
Bishop, with one hundred and fifty men,
started the same night, with orders to
punish the Indians should the latter be
overtaken, and, II necessary, to pursue
them to their agency and demand the
surrender Of tho thieves and the stolen
stock. Scout Amos Chapman accompa-
MED the command as guide. The detach-
ment returned to-day, bringing as priso-
nerS three sqyaws, one boy and thirty.hve
Indian ponies. About noon on the 25th
Lieutenant, Bishop arrived near % 1ndi-
an camp located in high. grass, their
ponies grazing on the neighboring hill.
Dismounting his men, and favored by the
hazy atmosphere, the Indians were taken
by surprise. The latter being dismount-
cd were unable TO escape, and rather than
surrender, made a determined fight.
Three Indians were killed and number
wounded, who escaped, and the whole
band dispersed. All the lodges were
burned. One old squaw declared she
would rather, be killed than go as priso.
ner, and she was left the sole occupant OF
the camp. The cattle were slaughtered
before the Indians were overtaken. The
prisoners acknowledge the guilt Of their
band, and the loss they haye received will
serve as d check TO future raids, and the
punishment upon them has been richly
deserved for their depredations' for some
wears in this section. ,...

The House met Us il in committee Of
the whole, Mr.. Eden in the chair, for
general debate-no business whatever to
Be transacted. Very few Of the seats Of
the members were occupied. u
Mr.. Schleicher opened the debate with
a speech on the fnencim qusstjol. He
advocated The ispeedyrethrnto ID a'ooih ba-
sis, which, he held, could alone give that
confidence necessary to secure the invest
ment Of capital, and consequently to busi-
ness. he would first resume the payment
Of the fractional currency next June, re-
deeming one million a month, beginning
with the smallest denomination, Then
he would commence 10 redeem legal
tenders next November, by selling ten
millions Of gold or silver monthly for
legal-tender notes, destroying all OF the
redeemed currency; this plan he would
keep up tilE III was all destroyed. BE
calculated that this could be DONE in
three and half years without any shock
to business, and'then there would be left
o National Bank circulation, redeemable
in gold ofsilyer, on demand. Themeans

the payment OF past due promissory
notes, and then by the issue Of one hun
dred and fifty millions Of five percent
bonds and their sale for gold. ContFae1
ton formed no part Of this scheme for re-
sumption. The only, sale OF bonds for
currency that he would advocate would
be forthe purpose Of obtaining funds to
meet deficiencies Of the current expenses
Of the Government caused by the appro-
priationlof- gold, and then hewould have,
this currency at once paid out, to remain
in circulation until in its turn 1t was re-
deemed, which would. occur but once or
twice, because as soon as the currepcyhsd
reached par, gold, silver and currency
would appear indiscrininate in the re-
