Chickens by Steam.

| Mr.. w. B. Van Hutton has
a patent incubator and is now
engaged in raising chickens
which, when grown, will be
natural orphans, never having
known anything OF a mothers
love, care, or solicitude for their
welfare. Friday morning he
had at least fifty motherless
! chickens, whose ages varied
from half a second to two days.
The incubator is a box about
four feet square by eight or nine
inches deep; in it is two draw
ers or compartments arranged
for the reception Of the eggs.
A small boiler, heated by a
lamp furnishes the heat. The
egg drawer is fitted with a
patent pyrometer set at los
Fair. and attached to the poles
Of an electric battery, when it
rises about los a circuit is
formed and machinery
operated by the battery
opens a valve to admit fresh air
as soon as the temperature of
los is reached the valve closes.
By this continuance an even
temperature is maintained and
but few eggs are lost. At the
expiration of twenty-one days
the young chicks peck their way
out of the shells. As soon as
they are thoroughly dry they
are removed from the incubator
and placed in a box with cotton
or some soft substance, here
they are allowed to remain for
a period of about ten hours in
order to reflect upon their flu
ture. They are then fed on pre-
pared food and thrive wonder
fully. An instrument called
"the hen" is prepared for the
reception of the infants and
kept at the requisite tempera-
ture. The young chicks are
fed for about ten days on pre- |
pared food, after which time |
they are able to shift for them
selves. The young chicks fed
by hand grow and prosper fast
er than when in charge of the
mother hen, which proves that
the hen does not know her bus
mess as well as the man does.
Mr.. Van Hutton had a chick
ten days old, Peter by name,
which would come out on call
and follow him all around the
room. About three hundred
eggs can be Matched out at one
time. Last spring Mr.. Van
Hutton incubated, raised and
sold a large number Of spring
chickens. He marketed them
1t two months old, shipped to
Galveston, and selling readily
1t two bits a head. By the use
IF the incubator spring chickens
IAN be had at any season of the
year.

500 BEATS S5o.-In the Bur-
ton neigborhood there lives a
certain thrifty gentleman who
had accumulated eleven $50
gold pieces. He liked the looks
of the money and having no
immediate use for 1t he staked
it out in a convenient hollow
log near his house. 1t was his
habit to go out occasionally to
look at his double eagles. On
one occasion, not a great while
ago, he discovered a freedman
eying him; he eyed the freed
man and recognized him, but
it did not occur to him that the
freedman knew what a treasure
that hollow log contained. The
day following the sight
of the freedman the gentleman
went to the hollow log to see if
his money was all o.. K. 1t was
not. Somebody had been there
while the gentleman was gone.
The freedman ceased work en-
tirely and soon had several $50
gold peices changed at stores
in Burton. The former owner
of the money went to the freed
man; stated the case; related
how the money had disappeared
and offered him $50 if he would
help him to get it back. The
freedman replied: "Umph-ume,
two hundred an twenty beats
fifty" There was no law to

A ACRoQUErTE's PLEA.


Would you ask me why flir,;
I'll tell you the reason why:
Were II not for my flirting
would slowly droop and die.
Some may say. sit is not right
To break dear lovers heart"
But what is all that to me
III only play my part
am sure I'm not alone
In my innocence and mirth,
For all nature seems to jilt
The gay lovely scenes Of earth.
The mild sunbeams doth allure
the flowers, in color, red;
Their bloom in lovely summer
Soon all by frost to be shed.
And they, then even themselves.
To nod in coquettish glee
To every gentle zephyr
That is waited DER the lea.
Then you need moi censure me
For know that / am right:
I'd flirt with dear old grandpa,
When no other vows to plight.
wouldn't give up my flirting
For all the gay boys know;
Nor would e'er pledge my hand
To any chivalrous beau.
I'll not fcrsake this pleasure
No difference who he be,
I'll ne'er bow to any man
And live a meek Niobe.
They say / will soon grow old
And old maiden's course pursue,
But paints, and curls, and cumming
Will then come to my rescue.
Well, what if do grow old?
For it care not pin,
I'll play off ''swcet sixteen"
And take some old bach'lor ir.
Yet. if in all this ! fail
4 great consolation-dear,
I'll have to know in old age
OF bliss, have had my share.
| will then live at my ease,
Remembering Tilted beaux;
I'll have no rough cur to please
But spend my time knitting hose.
Oh howl then ye gallant beaux,
If my beauty's made you mad
care not for joy or woes
But for pleasures ! have had.

Two young girls had fight in a
street of Reading, and one Of them
was so badly injured that it is doubt
full ifshe ever fully RECEIVERS. A dis
graceful part of the affair was that
two fellows, escorts of the combatants
left them struggle with each other
till the weaker was all but killed
She was kicked about, jumped upon,
and finally left unconscious on q

THE CONVENTION.
THE SPEECHES ANDPLATF0RM,
Sketch Of the Candidates.
cHAIRMAx LEAR's SPEECH.

He counseled harmony of action
and loyal obedience to the will OF
the Convention. 1.-THE highest quail
ification." said he, ''for public trusts
are the best recommendations, and
superior fitness is guaranty of the
most cordial support. Before can
didates present their names to the
Convention they know its compost
ton and the methods by which the
members have been selected, and by
a submission to their choice they
waive all objections to their compe-
tency and the regularity of their
election. All of course are Repub-
licans, selected by their respective
constituencies in the manner which
they chose to adopt or assent to, and
no Republican has the right to as
sumo that any delegate is not the
representative of the people he is ac-
credited to represent. And no Re-
publican has right to assume that
any candidate is supported or nom-
mated, for any other reason that his
personal merits, simply upon the
ground that interested competitors
and their friends make such allega-
tions.
at is not for this Convention, nor
for competitors for its nominations,
to punish or reward the members
of the party for political friendships
or personal hostilities. The politi-
cal promotion of any man fit for the
place is no just cause of complaint
to any one who is not ambitious for
it, let it be shown that his merits
entitle hira to the promotion. .
We are preparing for the future.
We are making record by which
we will be judged by the people,
and We will be approved or con-
demned, as our work shall exalt or
debase us in their estimation. If
passion, prejudice, or conflicting am
bitions have marred the party's fair
fame in the past or influenced the
of disappointed ambi-
ton, let us take our reckoning, en-
ter upon a new departure and let
the dead past bury its dead.
What the party has done in the
past, it will maintain in the present
and promote in the future and
the guaranty of fulfillment will be
the selection of the best men for the
positions to be filled at thenext elec-
lion. Without regard to past afiili-
atoms or present complications,
With a sincere desire to select the
best men. let our standard be embla-
Eoned with the motto. "The Best
Men and the Purest Principles" and
We can with mistaken assurance,
point to it and gay to every doubter,

He says the mob which came down
to Cattlettsburg stated that they had
1000 determined men. and when they
got to Ashland the troops would be
overpowered; that the train contain
ing the mob kept alongside of the boat
and fired many shots at 1t, the troops
not returning the fire, under orders.
At Ashland the ferryboat came out
and It's occupants began hiring, and 1t
was not until several of the soldiers
were wounded that the command was
given to Ere.
The soldiers fired only at those on the
ferryboat, and If any persons on the
shore were hit it was because they
needlessly exposed themselves in the
vicinity Of the murderous mob, whom
it was necessary to oppose.
Only two soldiers and a roustabout
were injured by the fire Of the men on
the ferryboat. One of these was a
drummer, who was struck in the hand.
The other soldier was struck in the
head. The wounds are not considered
serious.

DR.. Collins gays: We have evidence
that Captain belong used his position
as commander Of the expedition to per-
secute in every conceivable way some
members of the commission. My
brother was placed under arrest for no
other reason whatever. This Lieuten-
ant Danenhower admitted to me in
New York. Captain belong refused to
allow my brother at certain times to do
any kind of work, and purposely
allowed all the notes, photographs and
records Of the expedition prepared by
my brother to sink.
We have evidence that the captain
forced him to remain behind when he
volunteered to go ahead with Ninder-
a and Noros in search of relief.
my brother being in the best condition
Of any member of the party to do so.
There is evidence that Bartlett, who
is now in Siberia, one of the seamen, is
in possession of valuable facts, but we
believe he has been kept in Siberia pur-
posely by the officers of the expedition
so that his testimony may not get be-
fore the board.
We are also in possession Of full in
formation Of Melville's finding OF the
bodies Of Belongs party. He used
most blaphemous and s%candalous lam
guage concerning my brothers. body.
We also have reason for believing that
the reports made by Melville as to the
condition of the weather, which he al
legged prevented him from going to the
relief of DeLong'sparty, were false, for
dates on which he declared the weather
bad are shown to have been good by
the records.
Collins further asserts that jealousy
existed between certain officers Of the
expedition,
