for the project Of putting Gen. Grant on the

among the Republicans. Bills in his favor

sAULsBURY's PREDIcAMENT,
Senator Salisbury is a gay bachelor Of
sixty-seven winters, upon whom the bellies
Of Washington have for long years tried
their batteries in vain. His brother sena-
tors often joke him upon his continued re-
sistance TO the Establishments OF the fair and
false. Recently Senators Beck and Hampton
and some others got up a story that be had
made an oath in 1860 never to marry until
Democratic president was elected, that be
had long been smitten with the charms Of
youthful beauty from one of the eastern
states, and would lead her 10 the altar on the
day that Cleveland was inaugursted.
This fiction they have circulated far and
wide, and the consequence, as Senator
Salisbury says, is that every pretty girl he
has firted with in the last ten years now
looks at him as if she expected him TO get on
his knees and declare himself at once. He
says be must do something Immediately to
protect himself, as he may be confronted
with half dozen suits for breach Of prom
Use. He has, therefore, engaged Senator
Pugh, Of Alabama, TO bring suit for heavy
damages against Beck, Hampton and others
for SANDER.

Mr.. EDITOR:-In Dec. 1852, l con.
structed two very crude matches, de-
signed from several good points OF
others 1 had seen. / filled them with
eggs and they work fairly well. kept
them going from Dec. LIST to July lst,
clearing in that time $3.50 over and
above everything, and that, too, in
spite of the high prices of feed and the
fact that sold my chickens at low
market prices. The highest I got for
them was S6 per dozen and the lowest
was 1915. During that time 1 attend
ed to my regular business without let
or hinderance. Believing this to be a
good return for this amount of business
l began to look around for a more per-
feet hatcher, when my attention was
directed to the B. S. Incubator. In
June l procured instruction from J. M.
Balm, of New Concord, Ohio, Secretary
of the N. A. Poultry Association. He
will send instructions for making this
hatcher to anyone sending him three
2 cent stamps to prepay postage. Ihad
one that held $50 eggs, and my success
with it was all that could wish for.
then had four more made, and 1 have
just taken out of those five matches 1880
fine chickens. 1 believe I am placing
it modestly when 1 say that by July
next 1 expect to clear $500, besides at
tending to my regular business. There
is no business that is as profitable as
this is, and there is no business that re-
quires SO small an amount of capital to
start on. There is no necessity of men
trying to hide this business any more
than that of raising wheat or cattle.
"The field is the world ,"and the world,
like Oliver Twist, is crying out for
more. Poultry is getting higher every
year. There are many young men in
this country who are teachers, clerks in
stores and in various other avocations,
who look forward to the time when
they can get a good start in some lucky
business. The way is now open to
them all if they will only profit by it.
There are young women who feel them
selves dependent on father or brother,
who in one year could place themselves
high above any dependence, if they
only would. Do not wait any long but
get your directions and make your
matches now.
