There are several causes WHY fowls

Ihere are several causes why IOWlS
lay she.less eggs. A writer in Poul-
try mentions the following: First,
from the fowls having been kept
short of material to form or make the
shell. If this is allowed to 60 unno-
ticed it is great strain upon the
fowls system, and has tendency to
weaken the oyiduct, or egg passage,
where the egg is encased with shell.
Secondly, from laying double-yolked
eggs. This also Injuries the passage
very much at times. have known
fowls, after producing several of these
large eggs, never lay perfect-shelled
ones again, while others are left very
weak, and only lay them with very
thin shell, not sufficiently thick for
Matching purposes. In such cases as
these the hens ought to be allowed to
sit, so that the whole system has an
entire rest; when this is done, it
proves a certain cure to them, and
Strengthens The fowl vecy much. The
thil d case is when a fowl produces
ygs so rapidly that three eggs may
be found in the oviduct at once. The
middle one is forced down on the one
that will be laid first, tbs. third fol-
lowing again quickly after The second,
forces the middle one out of the owl
duct where the shell IS formed on
them

in connection with the Developments

with the demands of the committee;
on the evidence before him, he would
be doing the same thing as charged

ing Col. Campbell as chief of police,
The conddGG of the CON missionerS are

to the ex pafte character of the evil

holds that the implications of the tes-
timony relating to the arraigned COM
missioners aIe too vague and
general to warrant executive action
upon them. The governor fails to
see in the condition of the police af-
fairs of st. Louis any just ground in
the apprehension expressed by the
committee. Tie peace OF the city is
preserved, gambling houses are closed,
or, at least, if any are in operation,
they are conducted so secretly that
the best vigilance fails to discover
them, and if there is any disposition
on the commissioners looking to laxi-
ty or leniency toward the criminal
classes, it is not brought to mis- notice.
On the contrary, ne is convinced that
they are determined to enforce the
laws and conserve the peace, security
and dignity of the people. The gov
ernor concludes by the observation of
his devotion to the moral and SUBJ
stantial interests of the state and peo-
pie, and hopes that when passion sub
sides and calm reason taxes its place,
his motives and acts will meet the
recognition due to correct purposes
and honest endeavors.

in good faith, apply for them. If
they allow themselves to make any
unjust discrimination prohibitory to
the fourteenth amendment, congress
has full power to afford remedy in
the order of that amendment and in
accordance with it, when made, has
emerged from slavery, and by its aid
benefited legislation, which has
shaken off the inseparable comitants
of that state. There must be some
stage in the progress of his elevation,
and when he takes the rank of mere
citizen he ceases to be special favor
tie of laws, aud then his rights
as citizen or man are to be
protected in the ordinary modes
by which other mems rights are
protected. There were thousands of
free colored people in this country be-
fore the abolition of slavery who en-
joyed all the liberty of slave property,
the same as the white class, yet not
one at that time knew that it was an
invasion of their personal statutes as
freemen, because they were not
adopted to all the privileges enjoyed
by white citizens, because they
were subjected to discrimina-
lions in the enjoyment of accom-
modations in public conveyances and
places OF amusement. A mere dis
elimination on account of race or
color were not regarded as badge of
slavery. IT since that time they have
enjoyed equal rights in all these
respects, and iG has been established
by constitutional ejectment, it is not
by force Of The fourteenth amend
ment, which merely abolished slavery,
but by force of the fourteenth and
fifteen amendments on the whole.
We are of the opinion no countenance
of authority for the passage of the law
in question can be found in either the
thirteenth or fourteenth amendment,
and no ether ground of authority for
its passage being submitted it must
be declared void. at least so far as its
operations in several states is con-
earned
