A Stste meeting Of the New York His.

the Library in Second avenue, corner Of
Eleventh street. The president, Mr.. VIM
Depeyster, called the meeting to order
and the secretary, Mr.. Andrew Warner,
read the minutes of the previous meeting
He read paper entitled, 1.-THE Campaign
Against Burgoyne IN 1777, and who led
the American troops to victory" He
spoke of Benedict Arnold g career as a sol.
dier, his courage and boldness, and the
many battles he had fought In the Amer
lean service, and how the Continental
Congress, sitting at Philadelphia, refused
to promote him, although advised to do
so by General Washington himself. He
quoted from several letters Ut Washing
ton, who spoke in the highest terms In
praise OF Arnold. The speaker showed
from letters and documents that Gen.
Gates was not entitled to the great battle
that decided the fate Of Burgoyne at sar-
atoga on the 10th Of October, 1777. Dur
ing the early part Of the summer of 1777
an army of 10000 men, British and Ger

Hints to Poultry Breeders.

A correspondent Of the Massachusetts,
Ploughman, VIZ with some good hints
about the management of poultry in ans
Wer to An article on that subject:
"Nrst, you say, if eggs in winter are
wanted, the light Brahma or white Co.
chin Is best for that purpose. An expert

breeds has not brought about such con-
clusion with me. keep fowls for the
eggs-black Spanish, white and brown

their layl.y in winter. find as much
trouble in keeping fowls cold in summer
- I do in keeping them warm IN winter.
keep Brahmas for hatcling. They DIS
count all other breeds in that line of bus
mess, and their motherly qualities are
without rival. I find the expense Of
food for twenty five black Spanish, white
and brown Leghorns to be the same rs
that for fourteen Brahmas. There is no
question in my mind but what the Ply
mouth Rock excels all others when
brought upon the table as an article of
food. For eggs, the Plymouth Rock still
stands as second, Which is saying much
in their praise, when we consider the
number Of good laying breeds with which
they have had to compete. A hen that
lays one hundred eggs year is not an
Improbable one. Still she cannot be
classed as very profitable one. A hen
tobein favor with me, must produce from
enc hundred and thirty to one hundred
, and eighty eggs year. At the latter
figure can make them pay three hun
dred per centum on the investment, be-
aide the cost OF the food.
''If it is desired to obtain a stock of
hens for laying eggs to sell when they
bring the hig est price, like the hatch
ing to take place the first week in May,
if Of the black Spanish, white or brown
Leghorn breed. They will lay as soon as
the tenth of October. From that time
until the first of March is when find it
a good time to sell eggs. In the matter
of feeding, feed so that your hens may be
healthy. The healthy hens are those
from whom We may expect eggs, and not
those that are extremely fat. When
hen does not lay four months in success
sion, know no way by which she can
be made to make up for lost time, any
more than can tell how farmer can be
made to make up the loss of two days
time per week in a grocery store discus
aing his neighbors' business. AS for a
hen not beng profitable to keep for lay
ing after she is two years old, cannot
endorse 1t, as have hens that are four
years old and still continue to deposit
one dozen a month. Still prefer young
hens. In selecting hens to set, select
eggs from those hens in your flock that
you know are continually laying. Black
Spanish, white and brown Leghorns. are
not of much account for the table. To
kill them for the market is folly.

Dining With His Dead Family.

A mysterious dinner party was given
some time ago, by an elderly gentleman
in the Holel Demuth, at st. Petersburg.
One morning the gentleman in question
called upon Mr.. Pintscher, the manager
of the Demuth restaurant, and ordered a
lux1riant repast for six, of which he,
himself, made out the menu, selecting
from the wine card the cost'iest vintages.
He asked for. an estimate OF the dinner's
cost, paid the amount of his bill in ad-
vance, and requested that everything
should he prepared for the entertainment
of his guests at seven o'clock precisely
the same evening. At that hour he en-
tered the room reserved for his banquet,
and took his place Mt the head Of the ia
ble. To the chief walters respectful in
quiry, whether he expected his friends
to arrive soon, as the dinner was quite
ready he replied, ''They are all here
Let the soup be served forthwith" B!
his express commands the puzzled at
tendantc then proceeded to help the alb
sent guests to course after course, setting
down full plates before the empty chairs
and pouring out precious wines into the
groups of glasses stationed before each
untenanted place. The gentleman t
and drank copiously, now and anon
clinking his glass against the masterless
goblets ranged upon the table to his right
and left. With the first round of cham
payne he rose and made a speech to his
imaginary friends, from the tenor of
which grafton, the walters gathered that
they had been engaged attending to per-
sons long since defunct. When the gen
tlcman had concluded his remarks he
again went through the clinking formal
ty, drained the contents Of his glass, and,
turning to Mr.. Pintscher, chilled that
amazed functionary's blood by the follow:
ing CHASTITY testimony: To-day 1 cele-
brate my joyful meeting with my beloved
relatives my dead wife, daughter and
three SONS, two Of whom fell in tho las,

a Child's Wonderful Escane

A pleasure party started from the JOS
sey House, in Decatur, Ga, to visit Stone
mountain. Among the party was Mrs.
w. G. Jones, of Augusta, aud her daugh-
ter Emmie, about nine years old, and
three or four small children. Emmie and
the little daughter of Mrs. Cunningt am,
of Savannah, wan aered from the grown
people and were soon lost. They rambled
through the thick underground, calling
for their parents, but had gotten too far
TO be heard. The children were moving
rapidly, when, without any warning,
Emmie slipped from the steep and almost
perpendicular side of the mountain, fall
ling about three hundred feet, when, by
great presence of mind, she managed to
catch little shrub and cling to the mos
sy SIDE Of the mountain, her feet resting
ON u space of about fifteen inches of jut-
ting rock. Had she again slipped, she
would have been hurled one thousand
f ct further, and been dashed to pieces
am ing the sharp rocks below. Her little
companion missed her, but did not
know that she had fallen. and finally
she found the grown people from whom
she had been separated. The
entire party went in search Of Emmie,
and were about to give up the hunt when
some parties passing the base on that
side Of the mountain looked up and saw
the child suspended in mid air, as it were.
Information was quickly carried to the
anxious mother. and the question arose:
How could she be rescueda She had been
in that position for two hours and no
time was to be lost. A brave and gallant
young gentleman named George H. Gold
smith, about nineteen years of age, volun-
teered to descend the trcacherous noun
tain side and rescue the child from i'm
pending death. The child below was
urging them to be quick-that she
was growing very cold. A swift, strong
wind was sweeping the mountain sides
and it was growing quite late. No time
was lost, and in q few minutes coil Of
rope was brought, hastily adjusted around
the brave young man, and assisted by
Mr.. ]. T. Willingham, he was lowered to
where the child was clinaing to the scalv
walls. Reaching the child, he gathered
her IN his arms and brought her safely
to her mothers arms. The child clutched
young Goldsmith with such force that
she left the imprint of her blue fingers
deeply imbedded in his arm.

courthouse TO hear discussion of the debt
question between Senator Il. L. Withers
and 4 Mr.. Arnold, from southampton
county. The weather being so hot, and
the house so crowded. it was decided that
the discussion should take place out in the
open air. A division OF time was called for,
and one hour given the "gallant Wit hers !"
to open, and one hour and half 10 Mr..
Arnold, and Colonel Withers to close with
half IN hour. 1t was generally admitted
that Colonel Wi'hcrs gave us one OF the most
logical and telling speeches it has been

through, the stand was given up for gene

Colonel Petit. the nominee of the Conser-

and made an elegant speech. Colonel Wyatt

unnecessary sanitary inspectors all over the
country, drawing large salaries, and as
sumcd authority over local and State boards,
while the act Of Congress gives them none,
but wants them to cooperate with those
boards. The Board Of Health has been
