Fresh Eggs.

OF the receipts for keeping eggs there
is no end, and the quantity of bad eggs
used is enormous-used because better
ones can not be obtained. And yet
these eggs were all good once, and then
should have been used. An egg is not
intended to be kept, either for Matching
or eating. The course to adopt, then,
is clear-keep your own hens, or get
your eggs direct from a producer, and
avoid the common market. Better eat
no eggs than eat stale or spoiled ones,
and the bulk of eggs, especially in the
summer, is of this Kind, and for very
good reason-it is the operation of heat.
If the heat is great, it sets in motion the
Matching process; the yelk settles down
to the shell, and becomes affected by
contact with the air All this requires
very little time, beginning as soon as
the egg is laid, and it will be perceptible
in a few days. A fresh egg, pro-
duced from good sound feed, in
clean place, when well prepared
for the table, is a titbit. 1t is like
butter, which, under similar circum-
stances, gives rise to fancy prices. But
even those who produce their own eggs,
like farmers, use many stale and throw
away many bad ones. Kept few days
in summer, they will have an old taste.
This shows what care is required to get
(what really is worth the care) good
egg. In the winter it is less difficult to
keep eggs. But they are comparatively
little used in winter. The demand is
in summer when it is most difficult to
preserve them. Keep in as cool place
as possible, and-but no, they are not
to be kept, they are to
be eaten when fresh. If there be
too many, there is no danger
that they will not find ready market,
if known; by which l mean special
price, as with butter. Contracts can be
made at advanced rates. 1t only needs
little management by those who fur
nish the eggs.
We have directions about keeping
hens, about producing eggs, etc, but
how to manage SO as to get the eggs to
the purchaser or consumer fresh? This
we trouble ourselves little about, COM
paratlvely. The main difficulty is with
the farmer, the producer of the bulk of
the eggs, who considers it but a small
item, in care of the household, and is
therefore Indifferent, while the consumer
who buys his eggs is so accustomed to
the stale flavor that in the main he
knows of no other, and takes them as a
matter of course. He is easily reform
ed; a few fresh eggs, properly prepared,
will do it, and he will advance the price
to secure them. There is therefore here
basis for an increased demand; and
will not this demand warrant special
production of eggs, Independent of the
negligent system of the farmer-in the
end correcting that?-F. g., IN Country
Gentleman.

Jenny Lind Again Mother at Sc.

The following is an extract from
private letter, published in French pa
per: want to speak to you of my baby.
Well, must tell you that God has given
my dear husband and myself an adora-
BILE little girl, born on the 31st of March
last. She is the perfect image of health
and happiness. She laughs and crows
in way to delight all sympathetic
hearts. We have given her a little
Katherine among her other names, but
we call her Jenny, I need not say in
honor of whom. Our boy Walter will
bed years old the 9th of August next.
He is an intelligent child-very intelli-
gent, very religious, and when he has
been naughty, it is touching to see the
way he prays God to make him good
again-poor little chicken. He adores
me, obeys me and | understand the
child completely for he is exactly like
myself, in nature, very impressionable,
active, gay, high-tempered, affectionate,
shy, good-natured, quick to learn, re-
membering all that he learns, prefer
ring to the finest toys horrible old
doll, because it is one with which he has
longest played, cares nothing about
dress, but preferring to be loved rather
than admired Is he musical? Not the
least in the world. That is my great
despair But he is religious, and think
he will be Christian As to the baby
l can not say as much. The little crea-
ture eats, drinks, laughs, mumbles over
her shoes, and I have nothing to say
against her character. My husband is
now in England looking out for resi-
dence, for we intend, on account OF the
children, to settle in that country.
Yours affectionately, JENNY LIND.

MessrS. Editors Dispatch: ] see in your

Now, Mr.. "Citizenp says he has talked

pose they are his brothers, as they are all Of
tie same name. He says he hopes that the
friends Of this important ordinance will not
be bulldozed by few builders that are op-
posed to it. Now, it is not the builders that
need to fear this meddling ordinance, but
those that want houses built are the ones it
is aimed at. There are now SO many petit
Jogging ordinances on the statute-books that

short, We think we know this family OF
Messrs. "Citizens." / suppose they have
some houses they would like to rent at high

not so selfish as. to have all ordinance passed
to prohibit any one else building some, too.
Ii Mr. "Citizen /" is afraid that some one
will build weak church or public hall that
may hurt some unoffending baby, let him
get Mr.. Christian to have Colonel Cutshaw
look after it; but hands off our private
buildings. Another thing, we have too
many offices and officers now, without we
had more potatoes. II Mr.. Citizen," or

Will you be kind enough to:annonnce to

Brady, applicant for collector OF internal
revenue, Second district, Virginia, that the
reasons which he (the said correspondent
publishes as strong in favor OF the appoint
are identical with those urged for the re
tention of Richards in our district?
Richards is endorsed by all sthe tobacco
manufacturers, all the dealers in leaf, and
all the prominent businessmen ana mem
bers OF the City Council.
VIM endorseG7 Because OF his honesty,
his courtesy, his strict business qualihca-
tions, and his intelligence. -.
And to quote your correspondent: ana
as the Government derives from tobacco
about 9S per cent. OF all its revenue COL
lected in this district, it seems the ADMIN
istration should be disposed to pay some at
tention to the preference OF those who rep
resent the tobacco interest"
Mr.. Brady is represented to Us, the citl-
Zens OF Petersburg, as not at all Quallhed,
socially or by education, TO rule over US.
The fen days he spent with us are full OF
faults and sins and, as gentlemen, we 90

other, not soldier, but lived in your city
many years before his removal here; ana
those who knew him in Richmond bear tes-
timony to bis good character.

the most chaste and tasteful granite monu-

both eleven feet. The front Of the cross is
ornamented with elaborate carvings resem-
bling cameo-work, including wreath en-
crciiug the intersections Of the cross. Beau
tiful as the design is, the workmanship dis
played in its execution challenges admlra-
tion. This monument was constructed by
Mr.. James Johnston, Scotch stone-cutter,
Of this city, who had the misfortune aoGas nis
year ago to be bereit in one day OF bis
wife and child; and is intended as memo
rial OF his affection for them. He has ex-
pended upon it his best skill, and has sue
ceeded in producing monument which, as
a work of art, merits the highest laudation.

THE CANTATA OF LILY BELL.-The an
nouncement that the cantata OF Lily Bell
will be repeated on Friday night can hardly
fail to attract large and select audience ut
the Virginia Opera-House. The success
which has attended the untiring and ener-
getic managers OF this entertainment Is q
proof Of its superiority over most OF the
exhibitions OF this class. Indeed, 1t can
safely be said that the cantata was one OF
the most enjoyable affairs which was ever
witnessed in Richmond. An impression
seems to have prevailed that it was merely
children's affair, but the audiences which
assembled to witness it last week were
aereeably disappointed, and found them
selves surprised as we'll as delighted: The
leading parts are assumed by wel-known
young ladies OF our city, while the FAIRIES
and naiads seem really to speak from fairy
land itself. There is every reason to believe
that the entertainment viii be source OF
unalloyed pleasure to all who may be for
tunate enough to be present.

81 Editors Dispatch: The attention OF the
city authorities IS called TO the condition OF
the sidewalk and street In front OF the row
Of new houses on First street between Cary
and Canal. For more than twelve months
the citizens OF that vicinity have been COM
PEELED to submit to the inconvenience Of
having the street almost blocked up With
building material and dirt sidewalks; and
though the houses are completed and oil &C.
cupied, yet the street and sidewalk is in
the same condition to-day Chat they were on
the 1st Of January. Is there not law
compelling owners Of city property to pave
the sidewalks in front OF their houses and
to have the streets cleaned OF material left
from the construction OF buildings? The
attention OF the authorities is also called to
the condition Of the alley in rear Of the
