born in Massachusetts, and is about forty
years of age. He is not n graduate of any
of the military academies, and he entered
the war as n private. His military record
is highly honorable. From private he

Massachusetts Infantry. On the 18th OF
March, 1868, he was made Second Lieu
I tenant in the Eighty-frst u. S. Colored

Colored Infantry on the 4th of April, 1865
and on The 22nd of March, 1867, he was
honorably mustered out.

The importation of eggs from Europe
has largely been engaged in for the past
two years. A New York importer was
asked the other day how it was possible
to import and sell eggs at less price than
they can be sold for here? His reply was:
Why, because Of the outrageous freight
charges which result from railroad pools
and combinations. Recently 1000 doz.
eggs were sent by express to this city, aad
the bill for their transportation, which
can show you, was S120, or exactly eight
cents per dozen. Ordinary freight rates
for eggs from most OF the Western States
to New York are higher than the freights
from Europe. There is no duty upon for
eign eggs. II there was there would be
no money IN their importation.
