tatives from the eleventh New York
district destroys the majority of the
straightout Republicans, and they
will only be able to muster l4G votes
one less than majority. The Re-
pubicans here are not very much
concerned over this, as they express
no doub. of being able to pick up
the one vote requisite to constitute
majority without much trouble
They have nine Greenbackers, two
Virginia Readjusters and one Ne"

recruit from, and their calculations
are, therefore, based on good foun>

A Talking Corpse.

Not many days ago a corpse was
placed in the baggage ear of one of the
Central trains at Syracuse. consigned
10 Buffalo. The ear was well filled. and
away back in one corner was slowed a
very IA lkative parrot that was travelling
TO point beyond Buffalo. In front of
the parrot cage was piled express
matter so high rs to nearly close the
bird in. Every thing moved right un-
til the train reached Rochester. There
change of train gangs was made to
run through to Buffalo, and new bag

baggageman who had noticed the box
containing the coffin. directed his
vision toward that object, and stood for
moment in blank amazement. wonder

But he did not wait long. for the words
were repeated in more mournful tones
than before. The frightened man left
the car in one bound. and finding the
conductor, said: Hank, they've got a
live man in the coffin; come and help
get him out" The conductor accom-
panied the baggageman to his car, and
soon succeeded in convincing him that

Causes for the Rotting Of Eg.s.

Ii is found bv G. o. Czech that the
main cause Of the rotting of eggs is high
temperature and moisture, and that the
various stages of decomposition fall into
seven grorps. !. When exposed to
warmth and moisture and not fertilized.
the albumen first becomes waterv and
then the membrane inclosing the velk
bursts, allowing a partial mingiiny TO
occur at the surface of the contact OF
the yelk and the albumen. ,. As the
decomposition proceeds. the contents
become homogeneous. cheesey mass,

exclusion of moisture, the veik remains

of decompos ton and the water of the
albumen have escaped BY diffusion

the albumen is often unaltered while the

and moisture of the air and on whether
the eggs are at rest or not.
