How Chickens are Hatched for m,
Easter Holidays Demand.

In former times Young America wa
satisfied if with the coming of Fas.a~
he could celebrate the event with baIf
a dozen or less plainly colored eggs
Later on the egg coloring business Wa
taken up by tne confectioner and TOW.
dealer VINO showed their superioriiv
in the art of dying eggs by making
names and notices and flowers oSo
colored shells. Now Young Americo
has taken another stlide, in keeninc
with the progress of the age, and no
longer satisfied with fancv-coloraG
eggs, he demands III addition a live
chicken as ocular proof Of what tho
egg might have produced had ii not
been laid for twenty minutes in boilino
water, this new departure is said 70
have started year ago, when a CITY
toy dealer alone sold over 600 live
chickens for the Easter HOLIDAYS. To
answer this pressing demand for the
domestic tribe the incubator has been
called into requisition, while the ma
tronly hen gleefully chuckles over the
fact that hereafter she has only TO nro-
duce her fruit and not reduce
herself to a skeleton in warning her
progency into life. Mr.. Henry r
latham, Jr., is responsible for the ad
vent of from $50 to 800 of these little
chicks at one Matching, who, like Topsy.
never had no farder nor no mudder."
In one large incubator the novel sight
is presented of $50 little heads peepinp
out of their shells and struggling with
all their strength for entire liberty. The
incubator consists OF an outer casing of
wood. This is constructed for the re.
ception of a structure Of sheet metal
comprising vertical reservoirs for water
arranged at opposite ends of the box
and connected with each other by tubes
at or near the lower ends of the box
Communication with the top of the
reservoirs is afforded by series of
rubber of tubes. In the lower part of
one of the reservoirs a copper pipe is
introduced through which heat is s1ass-
ed from a coal stove, lamp or gas
Jet. An automatic regulator is I'M
mersed in the water of the same reser-
yoir, which opens and closes the heat
valve or turns the light up or down as
the water reaches the degree Of heat
that the regulator may be set for. By
this arrangement CONTIGUOUS current
of warm water is passed through the
rubber tubes and made to descend in
the upper reservoir, and then to return
to its original place through the lower
connections. The rubber tubes are
placed at short intervals and the eggs
are laid on trays in rows to correspond
with the open spaces between the tubes.
By this means a free circulation Of air
is insured, while at the same time the
eggs are receiving the contact of the
warmed rubber tubes, in imitation of
the contact with the hen, and with
equally satisfactory results Mr.. latham
is now preparing to exhibit his incu-
bator in a Chestnut street street shop
window, when an opportunity will be
given to the curious to see chickens
born in the new-fashioned way.

4 Life Saved by a Rose Bush.
Portland Oregon, Telegram.

An exploring party, Of which W. d.
Prettyman, who resides back of East
Portland, was member, were explor-
ing a wild section of country, about 10
miles this side Of the Cascades, near
Multonomah Falls, a few days ago.
The gorges, ravines, and rugged noun
tain-sides were covered deeply with
snow. upon the surface of which was a
heavy crust as smooth as a sea of ice.
The party was making slow progress
along the backbone of divide. On
the right-haud side was a slope OF
about 100 feet to an abrupt cliff, be-
meath which, about 40 feet below, was
a chasm filled with immense rocks.
Mr.. Prettyman was dressed in an oil
skin coat. which was closely buttoned.
While looking over the valley beneath
his feet slipped and he fell on the right
side of the divide. The oil-skin coat
acted ike a snow-shoe, and away went
Mr.. Prettyman spinning down the
mountain-side like a flash. When
within % feet of the precipice he
grasped a rose bush, the only tree or
shrub within reach, and o. it tore
through his hand, decorating his fingers,
ne was brought to a stop nearly upon
the brin K. 1t was a moment OF horror
lest tie shrub give way and dash him
to death upon the rocks below. His
companions made All haste, and,
Il owing him a rope. he managed to
crawl cack to a place of safety leaving
Il rack of blood upon the snow as 1t
steamed from his lacerated hands

Number Of volume 8, Of the Natchi-
toches Vindicator, is before us. 1t
furnishes us o good occasion to say
something about newspaper enter
prise and energetic newspaper men.
While there are too many Of tho
profession who content themselves by
plodding along, filing their columns
with advertisements aud such matter
as they have conveniently at hand,
there are others who have the ambi
ton to bring their journals to the front
rank through hard work, and by ad-
vancing first and foremost the mate
rial interests Of the community which
is their field Of operations.
Il matters not what the political
opinions of an editor may be, when
ever he works faithfully for those
around him, he deserves their sup
port and their absolution for the short
comings which are inherent to man.
We have often disagreed with Gen.
Cosgrove, who has, withal, shown
that his personal friendship for us,
had never been shaken shy the tilt
ing.n We've admired all along bis
devilish pluck and go-aheaditiveness,
which he has directed in very great
measure towards awakening the dor
mant public spirit of the people Of
Natchitoches, which his Vindicatol
has brought into prominence rival
ing that of any other parish in The
State. He has done gigantic work
for Natchitocbes--.a work that will
soon bear substantial fruits. There.
fore do we pronounce the Vindicatol
q journal that ought to livo and pros.
per, because it has been nseful anC
has repaid it's patrons for whatever
aid they have extended it. It is not
our desire to give our friend Cosgrovt
% "puff." We wish only to do hin
justice by saying that he has given
Natchitoches % paper which reflects
credit upon her, as it does to it's editor
who is found among the foremost ii

bring her "out of the wilderness"
We would like to see every jour.

We take pleasure IN reproducing,
in another column, an article from
the New Orleans Democrat, under
the above heading, in which our con-
temporary begins to recognize that
there are some good reasons for as
sembling the Legislature at an early
day.
When the CArlToLIAN declared it,

declarations Of many other journals,
who, appalled, by the expenditure Of

there ever was a necessity for assem-
bling the Legislature, that necessity

HOW TO BRING EmIGRANTs.

The plan of speaking in glowing
terms OF the fertility Of the soil and
the genial climate of Louisiana, have
failed to attract thither the emigrants
whose influx would soon bring her to
the acme OF her greatness and pros
perity.
The tide Of emigration will con-
tinue to flow towards Texas 80 long
as our people fail to set apart lands
on which the emigrant can locate
Immediately upon his arrival.
Vacant lands abound in every par
ish. Yet no effort is being made to
put them on the market at prices
within the means of the emigrant,
who, perforce, is compelled to 60
westward, where he takes up his
abode on lands that are barren and
sterile, as compared to those which
lie idle all over Louisiana.
This drawback can easily be rene
died by the formation Of stock com
panies in every parish, which would
make it their object to purchase at
tax or other sales, the numberless
acres of land that are frequently sold
Al, nominal prices.
1t would not be long ere these
stock companies would own large
areas which they could offer to emf
grants at such prices and terms as
would induce them to locate in the
parishes OF Louisiana.
Not only would these stock cOmpa-
nes open uP the State to emigration
but their stock holders would find
that they had engaged in a profta.
hle and safe speculation.
Emigrants can't pay fancy prices
for land upon their arrival. Ofcourse
after a time, when they would have
amassed surplus funds, they would
gradually advance towards th'
choicest and best located lands in thei
neighborhood; thereby enhancing thei
value.
But the first thing to do is to ar
range for placing on the market thu
thousands of acres that are laying
idle, aud, in consequence, are almos
valueless.
| It is easy to see how the stock com
panies in question would effect tn
double purpose ofattracting emigra
tion and increasing the value Of al
lands, by establishing market valu'
Tor those now untitled and nn0Ccu
pied.
