actually in them made noise enough
for those of the 5000 who were miss
ing. Black chicks and brown, white
chicks and striped, mottled chicks
and chicks of every color known to
the chicken world were scampering
up and down in the pens, and run
ming out from under the patent "hen
mother" with which each pen is fur
niahed. The hen mother is no low
zinc box with slopin5 top, which is
filled with hot water and placed a
few inches above the ground. Tie
under side of the box is lined with
blanketing, and the chicks creep un.
der it at night when they feel the
need of extra warmth. The brood
ing house is heated by steam, but the
temperature varies somewhat, and
tender chicks are very sensitive to
cold. A bright boy Of thirteen. the
son of the professional florist employ
ed by Mr.. Baker, has at present the
care Of the chicks in the brooding
house. He prepares their food, feeds
It to them and trains them up the
way sEey should go after they come
down from the Matching room. At
his suggestion the.reporter went along
with him to see the chickens fed, an
operation which has to be gone through
with every hour and a half during
the day. As the boy entered the
door of the long room, the chickens
along the whole line Aocked to the
bars and gaped greedily at the deep
earthenware bowl he carried. A
handful of food thrown in each coop
was soon picked up, and they held
out their bills, like Oliver Twist, for
more. The boy was firm in refusing
their outspoken request, however.
and they gaped and peeped to no
purpose. Near one of the middle
coops he stopped minute, set down
his dish and made a sudden dive into

its head between two bars Of the coop.

At the time of the approval Of the
Joint Resolution these taxes of 1872

They were levied by the Act to rsige
supplies. approved DeeembeE
1875; but this Act levies taxes ior
specific pursoses, as one mill for salaT'
ry and contingents, two mills ior
schools, half mill printing, &c. M
tax was levied to pay the account OF
T. w. Price g. Co., and the County
Auditors and Treasurers were ex-
pressly forbidden to collect any tax
for the fiscal year, other than those
specified, unless expressly authorized
by law so do. Every cent. OF the
year commencing November l, 1879,
was by the Act specifically appropri-
ated to purposes other than the pay
ment of Price & Co., and it'was pro-
vided that "any State. or County
"oficer who shall = $ = directly or
indirectly, temporarily or permanent
ly, divert or embezzle the proceeds OF
the taxes levied or collected for any
sneci6c p1rpose y i; shall be deemed
guilty of felony, and upon convic-
ton thereof shall be punished by a
fine of not less than one thousand
dollars, MOI more than five thousand
dollars, and be imprisoned in the
Penitentiary for period of not less
than one year, nor more than live
years." Nevertheless, in March, 1876;
three or four moths after the passage s5
Of the Act containing these proys'izssSs e
ions, Cardozo paid the account of
Price & Co., amounting to Sl5,Sl6
out of the taxes Of lS75-76, thus
diverting the proceeds Of the taxes
and clearly incurring the penalty Of
fine ard imprisonment provided by
the Act of December %, 1875. Nor
did he pay this sum out Of the pro-
ceeds of any one specific tax. He
appears to have paid it out of the
proceeds of seven or eight different
specific taxes and violated the law
and incurred the penalty in each AMI
every case, so that fine Of from
$4,000 to $4,000 and Imprisonment
for from eight to forty years await
him upon conviction. The bail re-
quired Ct Cardozo was $4,000, and

it. Then the top flies up and the
