THERE have been numerous citizens from
various parts of the country here attending
court this week, and we have heard many
expressions of satisfaction at the solid ap-
pearance of the new Court House. Those
who saw how the foundation was built up
will have no fears as to the permanency of
the building. Messrs. Donaldson q Rogers,
the contractors and builders, have evidently
determined to complete the work in strict
accordance with all the specifications.

The Nation. Characterl.,Ic..

Shrewdness and incredulity arc the pre-
dominant characteristics of the American
people. They will take no stock in an article
unless II is meritorious. When DIR. Swayne
launched his Ointment for the Piles, that
ich SO intensely at night, on N sea OF human
suffering the physicians laughed, but the
people tried II all the samo and manifested
their appreciation in National endorsement.
Now the allopaths and hom~paths are
laughing the other way. This world is full
reverses.

The Preservation of Eggs.

Much scientific attention has been devoted in France to the preservation of eggs. The leading principle of nll processes Is the pro- tection of the interior of the egg from the action of the atmosphere, and consequently it has long been settled that only the freshest eggs are eligible for preservation. To the solution of the problem of how to prevent the air from penetrating the shell of the egg, the experiments of such eminent savants as
 Masschenbroek, Reaumur and Nellet have
 valuably contributed. They all agree that the most practicable method is to envelop
 the new-laid egg in light coating of some
 impermeable substance, such as wax, tallow,
 oil, or a mixture of wax and olive oil, or of olive oil and tallsw Reaumur suggests an alcoholic solution of resin, or thick solu- tion of gelatine. Nollet experimented sue cessfully with india rubber, collection and va rious kinds of boot varnish. In practice the most successful method has been that of Cornier, of Mans This consists in covering 1 the eggs with varnish the composition of which is kept a secret. The eggs are packed l on end in sawdust and it is said will pre-
 serve their freshness during quite nine | months in any climate. Cadet de Vaux sug. | gested the plunging of eggs for twenty sec l onds in boiling water, in order to coagulate | that portion of the albumen nearest the shell | and then to pack them in vessels half filled with sifted cinders. This process-which,
 by the by, has been well known in some parts of Scotland for many years-yields excellent | results, but, if neglected for but second ol | two, the eggs are liable to harden. The pro i cess known as ''liming' in England, and as
 the Cadet Gasscourt process in France, is very popular On the other side of the chan | mel, however, "hmed" eggs are never eater | q I0 c0que, but only in the shape of omelettes
 &c Some preservers claim to obtain better
 results, far as the taste of the eggs is con
 cerned by substituting ordinary salt fol l lime.-Gr0cer.

ington, Superintendent of the Nautical AL nlanac visited Annapolis and interested him. self in Mr. Michelson's operations. Mir New comb did not believe the result obtained was close as possible, and with Mr. Mlchelsons assistance undertook experiments of his own at Washington. He arrived at conclusion slightly differing from Mir. Michelson's fig ures, but has not yet published the results he obtained. Later he repeated his operations and obtained the same result as at first. He then asked Mir. Nicholson to repeat his ex- periments. The latter has agreed to do so at Cleveland, and preparations for the work are almost complete.
 The cost will be about $l,2OO, and will be borne by tho Bache scientific fund. The site of the experiments is the grounds of the Case School at the East End. Here two buildings have been erected by Mir. F. P. Ingersoll, the well-known contractor and builder ot Logan street. The larger building. lG by 43 feet, contains a small engine and the chief apparatus. Two thousand feet west of it is 8 small building containing @ stationary mirror. These buildings have been erected, and the apparatus will be ready for work in about two weeks. The machinery and man. ner of the experiment are quite complicated. In brief, however, ray of sunlight Is thrown upon a slowly revolving mirror, whence 1t Is reflected upon the stationary mirror 2,O0O feet away, and from there reflected back over the same path. AS the revolving mirror turns slowly the returning ray Is moved slow ly to side. The velocity of the light is measured by calculation of the various dis tances from mirror to mirrors, angles, rapidi- ty and distance of movement of the revolving mirror, distance of movement of the return ed ray, &c. Prof. Nicholson thinks that when he gets at work he can conclude his experiments and investigations in about three weeks. The work will be closely watched by scientists interested in that subject. The velocity of light has an important bearing upon astronomical calculations, md the ex pertinent will be one of considerable value. Prof. Nichelson though young man, has a reputation as careful, reliable and con- scientious investigator. His being placed in charge of the department of Physics of Case School is evidence that he is an acc complished scientist

From the Burlington Ha~keyel
 It is the merry summer time. To him the mother of the father of his country:
 George, dear, where have you been since school dismissed ?'
 "Haint been nowhere, ma.'
 "Did you come straight home from school George?"
 "Yes, ma'am !''
 But school is dismissed at 3 o'clock and it is now half-past six. How does that come?"
 "Got kep' in"
 ''What for ?''
 "Missed m joggrafy less'n."
 But your teacher was here only an hour ago and said you hadn't been at school all day"
 "Got kep' in yestiddy, then"
 "George, why were you not at school to- day ?''
 Forgot. Thought all the time it was Sat urday."
 ''Dont stand on one side of your foot in that manner. Come here to me. George you have been swimming"
 "No'me."
 ''Yes, you have, George. Haven't you ?''

 ''Then what makes your hair so wet, my son ?"

 Put it on that way when I got up this morning for luck Always win when you play for keeps if your shirts on wrong side out"
 And you haven't the right sleeve of your shirt on your arm ct all, George, and there is hard knot tied in it. How did that come there ?"
 ''Bill Fairfax tied it in when l wasn't look in'."
 But what were you doing with your shirt oh?" Didn't have it off. He jes took'n tied that knot in there when it was on me-" George "' That's honest truth, he did" About that time the noble Bushrod came along with a skate strap, and we draw veil over the dreadful scene merely remarking that boys do not seem to change so much as men.
