Hatchlng Eggs.
Breeders Journal.

Breeders Journal.
The greatest obstacle to success in
raising large number of chickens in
the country where there is plenty of
room and coed range for the young
sters, is Matching the eggs. If the
eggs are only once Matched there are
always plenty Of hens that want to set,
who, if the young chickens are plac-
ed under them after dark at night,
will be morally sure by morning that
they Matched them themselves, and
will make the proudest and happiest
mothers in the land, but the difficulty
is to get the eggs Matched. If eggs
are set in the hen house under good
motherly body, she accepts them with
every manifestation Of satisfaction, and
carefully adjusts them into their prop
er places, and settles down with sigh
Of relief, thinking probably that she
has straight three weeks job--that
there are few hens in the world SO full
ly and capably competent to perform
as herself. But alas she little knows
the disappointments and worries of this
world, unless she happens to be an old
bird, who has had the Matching bust
ness under consideration before. About
two hours later, while Mistress Biddy
has fallen into day-dream of how
delightful it will be with her young
brood during those beautiful June
days, when all nature is so lovely, and
the ground warm and comfortable, the
garden mellow, and planted with such
palatable seeds, which makes the
scratching such series Of pleasant
surprises, not knowing at any moment
what the next scratch will bring forth;
when she was very busy, we guess
turning over in her. mind what she
should name her offspring, having al
ready decided on ten very appropriate
names, there comes something into the
hen-house-a cheerful, Industrious
looking hen, with very red comb
who, after making believe for few
minutes that she hasn't got much on
hand, but just wanted to see how the
old place looked, goes and peers into
the nest where Mistress Biddy is per>
forming her matronly duties. Now,
as she has never laid an egg in any
other place in her life than that same
identical spot, she cannot bring her
mind to it now. All remonstrances
with the occupant of the nest are un-
needed. So clearly, the only course
left for the newcomer is to force herself
in, and scuffle and wrestle with that
devoted mother until her rights are
recognized. A week or SO of this kind
of company is very bad for the young
folks, and at the end Of a week the
visitor generally takes notion she
wants a family of her own, and must
raise them right in this nest. The re-
suit, as has been often demonstrated, o.
: such goings on is, after six or eight
weeks of very hard work, the two
hens will come of with one chicken
Now it is evident that this way of set
: ting hens is failure. They must bt
set by themselves, where they will no
be disturbed, or try an incubator.

CAMPAIGNS AND BATTLES
OF THE
18th TENNESSEE REGIMENT.
Copyrighted June 9TH, 1884. All rights re-.
served.
BY IT. A. HEAD.

When the Tennessee troops arrived
at Corinth they found everything
presenting the true aspect of war in
its fullest sense. The whole country
about the place was one vast encamp-
ment of troops. The wounded from
the great battle had been sent to the
interior towns and villages along the
railroad, while the convalescent were
with their commands in camp. The
boys of the 10th regiment went to see
friends and acquaintance belonging
to the 9Th and other Tennessee regi-
ments and mingled among their old
comrades and acquaintance generally
for few days after their arrival at
COrinth. The Sth and 10th Tennessee
regiments remained a part of DOnel-
sons brigade, which was assigned to
Cheatham's division and became a
part Of the LIST army corps under COM
mand of Lieut.. Gen. Polk.
The Army of Gen. Halleck now
numbered about 100000 men, not in
Guiding the fleet in the Mississippi
river. Thearmyof Gen. Beauregard,
including the river defenses, was now
near the equal of the enemy, in the
field, in point of numbers, but the in
ferior in point of equipments.
By the lst of May Beauregard had
been reinforced by Van Dorn's forces
from Missouri, and four regiments
from Pemberton's army. His forces
now numbered as follows.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1884-07-05
now numbered as follows
Total. .................... 1l4,S69

This number included the sick and
wounded in the hospital, and the alb
sent for any cause. By the transfer
of some of the troops and by deaths,
this estimate was reduced by May Is,
1862, to l10,845 total present and alb
sent. The large number of sick and
wounded at the different hospitals re-
duced this number to an aggregate of
1929 present, including. sick and
wounded in camp, the different de-
tails for sappers and miners, infrma-
ry corps and other purposes. The
aggregate was reduced in this man.

May, viz:

Effective total. ................51,21 S
With this force Beauregard felt
prepared to give battle to Halleck,
who was advancing on the Purdy
road. A line of breastworks were
thrown up few miles in front of
Corinth, and the troops were employ
ed daily in strengthening the defenses
and covering the front of their works
with abatis of fallen trees. Van
Dorm occupied the right wing of
Beauregard's lines near the Farming
ton road. Hardee's corps occupied
the centre, and Folks corps was on
the left wing. Everything was put
in readiness and waiting for the at
tack, which seemed imminent. Gen.
Price seemed to grow impatient for
the attack, and moving out his divis-
ion one morning struck the enemy's
left wing and swung it round on their
main line and retired to his original
position. The old hero of so many
hard fought battles kept up a row
with Halleck's left wing pretty regu-
larly. The principal fighting about
COrinth was on the right wing Of
Beauregard's lines, where the enemy
seemed to be seeking an advantage
with a view to striking the Confeder.
ate rear and taking possession Of
Chewalla, a point on the Mobile &
Ohio railroad, a few miles south o.
Corinth. AS the Federals moved or

they threw up Notifications at eacf

The battle being daily and almost
hourly expected, and Gen. Beaure
gard having arranged his lines and for
titled his position, had everything il
readiness for the conflict, and ISSUED
the following address to his men:

OF Directors of the Building Associa-
tlon of this city last evening to their
fellow townsman, S. Thomas McCul-
lolgh, counsellor to the board, on the
eve of his departure for Europe, was
quite a pleasant affair. Toasts were
crank and complimentary responses
made by those present-all vieing in
wishing him a pleasant journey and
a safe return. Mr.. Mccullough leaves
on the noon train tomorrow for New
York, from whence he will take the
steamer "City of Berlin" for Queens
town. In his travels he will take in
Ireland, Scotland, London, Paris,
Germany, including Berlin, Hamburg
and through the Cantons of Switzer-
land, Brussels, the battle field of Wa
terloo, and down the Rhine through
Italy and to Rome. Mr.. Mccullough
will be absent about three months.

Do You Read the Advertisements.

The man who does not read the ad.
vertisements in his home paper, can
never be well posted. The advertise
ments indicate not only the business
enterprise OF the place in which they
are published, but the enterprise of
the advertiser When yousee man
who advertises literally, you may be
certain of finding good stock of
goods in his store, that he keeps up
with the market, and sells cheaper
than those who do not advertise. If

Judge Hagner,s Late Decision.

On Tuesday last, discharged man
from the United States Marine Corps
made application to Judge A. b. Hag-
ner, in Washington. D. c.. to become
a citizen under the law which provides
that a foreigner who has served in the
army may become such on filing an
application. Judge Hagner held that
the law did not apply to the Navy,
OF which the Marine Corps was a
part, and being obliged TO read the
law as he found it, he could not admit
the applicant to citizenship Thisis
but another casus 0missus in the law
that should be speedily remedied-

The State Library.

The State Library, being a public
institution, kept up and endowed
by the State, is not, as many have
supposed, only for our judges and the
members of the legal profession who
are called here in attendance to the
Court of Appeals: it is intended for
all the people of this State, whether
professional or not 1t is now pre-
sided over by courteous and ac-
commodating Librarian, Dr. Duvall
In olden times the library was kept
open from a reasonable hour in the
morning till late hour at night, and
this was found to be such q conven-
fence that it met with the accord and
appreciation of all those who desired
to avail themselves of q few hours
quiet reading or writing in the heevening
When the Librarian is temporarily
absent from his post there should al
ways be found a substitute, so that
no Inconvenience might occur to the
general public or cause of complaint
engendered. A return to the custom
of ye ancient days in this respect
would, we think, be welcomed by not
only the people of Annapolis gener-
ally, but by those from elsewhere, in
Guiding the many strangers who visit
the Capital of our State.

Judge Bryan delivered to-day the
opinion of the Court of Appeals in
the most important case of the
term-the A. & Z. r. r. Co. VS.. the
State, in which the latter has in
volved over 100000. The sole
question was the right of the State
above the bondholders, issued under
the Act of 1872, chapter 245. The
Court decides the States interest is
subordinate to that ofthe bondholders.
This gives the trustees of the road the
right to sell, unless the company now
raises the question Of the fraudulent
issue of 100000 of bonds which
were sunk in the Drum Point Rail-
road phantom.

Our attention has been called of late
to the practice some boys have of
jumping behind every vehicle that
passes by, until it has become per-
feet nuisance and annoyance to the
drivers. Our advice is that such boys
should be kept at home by their par
ents if they have any. Runaways
and broken bones are often occasion
ed by just such measures, and team
sters cannot be blamed if they use a
little ''pursuasion" in the shape of a
raw-hide to keep them off.

There's land that to me is the fairest,
In beauty none other can vie;
And her virtues are yeckoned the rarest
That are found meath the dome of the
sky;
My darling I'm with thee forever,
None other ON me has claim;
Thou canst reckon on me as a lover.
Whose heart beats at sound of thy
name.
Thou art set as gem in the ocean,
Thou beams in effulgence and light:
And the waves beat thy shores with
emotion,
That equals my heart as | write.
In dreams | am with thee quite often,
l roam through thy woodlands and
wales;
And the ills of my life seem to soften,
Methinks I'm asleep in thy dels
Thou art dearer to me than the life blood,
That throbs and pulsates in my veins;
As In the morning of childhood
Inhaled the fresh breeze from thy plains,
Twas then that | nurtured each feeling,
Each secret thought now | repeat;
And 10 in fond suppliance kneeling,
cast them all down at thy feet.
Thou art fairer to me than the morning,
All robed out in gorgeous array;
When Sol with his bright rays adjoining,
lllumines each alley and way;
Then, then, do | think of thee, darling,
Thou seemest then truly the best,
And call thee my beauty, my starting,
Oh thou lovely sweet Isle of the
West.

In the death of Nicholas Brice
Worthington at his home in this city,
at noon yesterday, of which we made
brief mention in the CAPITAL, our
city has lost once valued citizen.
The deceased was connected with
many of the best families in Maryland
and was universally esteemed for his
many good qualities. He represented
Anne Arundel county in the Mary
land Legislature in 1914 and 1916.
He was a gentleman of fine liter ary
attainments, and was the editor of
the American Farmer" from 1856 to
1861. For two years he was the
president and for thirteen years pro-
fessor in the MARYLAND Agricultural
College. He resigned his connection
with the college during the war. He
was until two years ago, agricultural
editor of the Baltimore Sun, but i'll
health compelled him to retire from
all active business pursuits, and be
returned to his native city, where he
remained till his death. He was man
highly esteemed by all who knew
him. He was in his 6Sth year.
