Caponizing fowls is practiced to a great
extent in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It's
effect upon the fowls Is that they grow one
third beyond their otherwise natural size,
fatten more easily and rapidly on less food,
and their flesh is Of finer quality, the price
they command In the market being so per
cent. higher than that of ordinary fowls OF
the same age. As an illustration of their
superiority, we quote from an exchange of
q recent date the statement that ga man In
New Jersey has just sold q lot Of $50 capons,
averaging 10 80 pounds each, the heaviest
pair weighing % pounds"

The deep, and we'll deserved, hatred
for Hayes expressed by the New York
Sun during his entire administration
continues. Witness the following
zone of oar Philadelphia contempora.
ries describes him as endeavoring IN q
very servile and disgusting manner to
attract the attention OF General Grant.
He manifestly felt lonely and desplsed
even in that select company, where ma
ny of the original conspirators were as.
sembled. They evidently had no wish
to be reminded of him, or OF the fraud
OF which he had been the ungrateful
beneficiary. In this extremity he turn.
ed to Grant, and would tain have taken
shelter again under his wing. The
Philadelphia Press reports him as hav.
ing been very deferential' to the ex.
president, while the latter, annoyed and
Disguised, snubbed him openly and
turned away. Grant had lifted him In
to the white house upon the point OF the
bayonet; he had protected the returning
boards IN their knavery. and assembled
an army at Washington to secure a false
count of the votes; but he clearly want.
ed nothing further to do with the pious
and fearful fraud who accepted all this
at his hands and then deserted hlm."

in mind that there was not a single

because they believed that it was a de-
