ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
OF the Overland Express at
Cape Horn.

San Francisco, 1.-The following
additional was received regarding
the attempt to wreck the overland
train: Two engines and one car of
the eaSt-bOund overland express
were thrown from tfe track about
l1.47 last night at Cape Horn, by
two rails having been removed by
highwaymen. When the engine
first left the track Fireman BOYD.
upon jumping to the ground. was
confronted by man with a shot
gun, who ordered him to stand and
not to move or give the alarm. At
the same time man presented a
gun at the express messenger,
opened the door of the express car
and ordered him to surrender
About this time the highWaymen,
supposed to be some five or six in
number, became alarmed and
started to run off into the brush,
leaving lanterns. masks, twenty-four
cartridges of Hercules powder, fuse,
axes, sledge, pick and other tools.
No one Was injured. The train was
detained but eight hours.
Further advlces regarding the at
tempt to rob the overland train add
nothing to the previously reported
facts, except that ON the approach
of the robbers the express messenger
put out the lights, secured the doors
OF the car, armed himself, and the
robbers, finding the attempt at sur
prise had failed, left hastily in a
wagon which they had ia waiting.
Officers are securing the country in
pursuit.

New York Republican Conn
mittee,

New York, IA reporter called
upon a number of republicans this
morning and talked with them
about the meeting of the republican
state committee. Collector Robert
son said the proceedings of the COM
mittee of yesterday was very har-
mOnious and althoug the stalwarts
carried out their prearranged pro-
gramme, and this city was chosen
as the place for holding the con-
vention it was by bare majority.
Though this city was pronounced by
stalwarts, because they are stronger
here than anywhere else in the state,
L do not think they will resort to
any extreme measures to control
the convention. From the senti-
ments expressed yesterday / am led
to believe there will be an earnest
effort made ON the part of both ele-
ments, in part, to heal all differences
and select a ticket which will re-
Uoiv0 the support of all republicans
throughout the state. If this is
done we shall certainly carry the
state in November. When asked
about the failure of the com
mittee to pass any resolutions of
sympathy with the wounded
President, the collector saws: I
think it were merely an oversight.
1t is to be regretted, certainly. that
the body of the State of New York
should make such mistake, but ]
cannot think it was intentional,
Before the committee met | spoke
of this matter 10 Mr.. Verman, aud
l understood him to say that some
one present had set of resolutions
prepared, which would be presented
to the committee after the formal
business was over. Several mem
bers were discussing this question
among themselves when the mo
ton to adjourn was carried. Had I !
known no resolutions would be pre-
sented, l would have presented Il
short resolution myself. l cannot
believe this motion was made to
prevent the introduction of such a!
resolution. Other gentlemen
seemed to regret the omission of the
Garfield resolutions, and attach no
to the selection Of New |
York as the place for holding the |
convention.

A Lick for Low.

New York, So. II. LaGrange,
eX-Superintendent of the mint, has
column-long communication in to-
nights Commercial, replying to
Governor Lows letter. He says he
has often asked to be called before
the commission, and will prove, if
allowed an opportunity: First, that
after the mint certificates are issued
the superintendent has nc more
control over speculation in such
securities than the secretary of the
treasury over speculation in govern
ment bonds; that the Bank Of Cali
fornia never asked or received any
improper or illegal favor from NE
as superintendent of the mint, nor
did [ ever ask or receive a favor Of
any money value whatever from
ti-- bank or from any persons repre-
sentlng the bank; that Ex-Governor
Low is the only person who ever
asked an illegal favor OF the mint,
and am prepared to prove that he
solicited the cashier of the mint in
writing, to send in government coin
the approximate value of unrefned
silver bullion which he sent to the
mint to make the exchange, offer
ing in writing ito return the coin
and withdraw the bullion in a few
days" He follows with other
equally severe charges against the
ex-governor,

,Twas Not Hartmann.

New Y DIRK, 1.-ReroEd's st. Peters
burg The Hartmann who has visited
you in America is a fraud; the real
Hartmann is known to have been
elsewhere through your country.
This has been affirmed to me in the
most pO,itive manner by Il high dig
nItary, whose name you will easily
guess. He was fOrmerlyembassador
at, COlstantinople, and it was
rumored yesterday that Count
SchOuyilOff was to replace him at
his present post, while he himself
was to be appointed minister of
foreign affairs. He has since con-
tradctm this report, and, as it is
important, think it right to repeat
the contradiction. The papers will,
however, most certainly publish
thiSneWS as true. ~

How CHICK EMS GET our or SHELLS Take
an egg out Of nest on which hen has
had her full time; carefully holding it TO
the ear, turning it around, you will find
the exact spot which the little fellow is
p,ckirr on the inside of the shell; this he
will 10 until the inside shell is perforated,
and the shell is forced outward as small
scale, leaving a hole. Now, If you will
take one Of the eggs in this condition from
upder the hen, remove 1t to the house or
some other suitable place, put it in box
or nest. keeping 1t warm and moist, as
near the temperature of the hen as posi-
ble (which may be done by laying 1t be-
tween two bottles OF warm water upon
some cotton or wooD, and lay glass over

as IS most convenient, and witness the
true 0aodus OperGndi. Now watch the
little fellow work his way into the world,
and YOU will be amused and instructed, as
I have often been. After he has got his
opening he commences nlbbling motion
with the point of the upper bill ON the
outside Of the shell, always working to
the right (if you haye the large end OF the
egg from you and the hole upward) until
he has worked his way almost around, say
with one-half an inch IN perfect circle;
he then forces the cap or but end OF the
shell off, and then has chance to straight
en- his neck, thereby loosening his legs
somewhat, and SO, by their help, forcing
the body from the shell.

say that In cur opinion the beat cait a
morse ever had for every day use is walk:
out i is gait that not one Ia ten possess

America wants more speed. Horses trained
to walk fast would be greater benefit to
farmers In general than fast trotters. as al
most all Of his work has 10 be done with a
walk. Horses that are engaged in hauling
on the roads. that are trained to walking
fast, will make longer distance m a day
than horses will that are urged to trot at
every convenient place, because. when a
horse commences To walk after trot, he
will 20 much slower than his common
gait II kept on walk, and the consequence
Is that he will loose more than he gained.
Where horseback travelling is indulged in,
especially over muddy roads. any other
gait than walking is rendered impossible,
aud yet horse that has been trained to
walking fast even over bad roads, will
make from four to five miles an hour, but
since the introduction of light wagons a
horse would be expected to make greater
distance when hauling the wagon over the
same road, though 1t would be by the aid
of the whip, and very much to the prejud
ice Of the poor animal. These one-horst
buggies have put horse back riding out ol
fashion, and now good walking horse il

SHADE FOR PoULTRY.-Poultry need as
much protection during the summer from
the fierce rays of the sun aa they do In
winter from the severe cold, although far
too many of our breeders lose sight OF this
very important fact, and suffer correspond
ing losses in consequence. Birds COM
PEELED to stay in the yards which have
little, if any, shade during the entire sum-
mer, with the sun pouring down on them
with the intensity it does in July and Au-
gust, cannot thrive, while they are rem
dered much more liable to disease and dis
order. 1t pays, and pays well too, to give
the fowls comfort at all times. and it costs
but little to furnish the necessary shade,
no matter how large the runs may be-.
Trees, such as plums, peach and apple,
should at once be planted in the runs, espe-
clally the former, which seems to thrive
better there than the other kinds named.
AS these trees will not afford much shade
for few yeaIs temporary shades must be
made by making skeleton sheds of poles
along the sunny sides Of the runs, and then
covering them with boughs, cedar limbs,
or almost anything cheap and convenient,
which will afford the necessary shelter
from the sun. These may not look very
handeomc, but then the utility compensates
fully for the lack Of beauty.
