Senate yesterday asking for an investiga-
ton of the acts of the newly appointed

the CLOSE OF the Admin StratIOn.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Secretary
Manning is convalescing rapidly. He
sits up, his appetite has returned, and he
enjoys seeing his friends, The President
calls on him two or three times week,
and the other members of the Cabinet
have been very assiduous in their atten-
tions. The friends of the Secretary hope
to see him out by the first of May. He
Will not be able 30 return to his duties
in the Treasury Department Dy that time,
of course, but he Will be able to take the
trip to Fortress Monroe, which his family
have planned for him. His friends say
that in a month he VIII be quite himself
again. AS soon as he is able he will re-
turn to his post at the head OF the Treas
ury Department, and remain there until
the close of this administration, Provi-
dence permitting.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
1t is understood That the Treasury De-
partment Will begin the payment of the
awards made by the late Court OF Com
missIoners OF Alabama Claims imme-
diately after May l next The term Of
the Clerk of the late COurtOf Commission
ers of Alabama Claims expires then by
the limitation of the act creating it. I'm
der that act he will Immediately
submit to the First Comptroller
statement of the expenses incurred
in winding up the affairs of the court.
The First Comptroller will deduct these
expenses and the other authorized ex-
penses of the late court, from the balance
OF the Geneva award fund, and will then
pay the awards out of what is LETT. He
Will leave out the Unauthorized
expenses altogether from this settlement.
OF course, if Congress, before May l,
should extend the term of the Clerk of the
Court until July l, as is proposed in the
bill which passed the House, this might
interfere with the First Com troller's pur-
pose, but 1T is now thought that no such
Legislation will be enacted before May l.

Care of Young Ducks.
By JAS. RANKIN.

] would like here to give our patrons
few hints in regard to Matching, rais-
ing. and handling of young ducks (says
trary to the general acceptatiop of the
thing, it is not necessary for ducks either
old or young, to have access toa pond
or brook, as simply giving them all the
water they need to drink is all sufficient.
Indeed, they thrive better and grow
quicker confined in yards with just
enough water to drink. Shade is one of
the essentials to duck growing in warm
weather, also plenty of green feed aud
vegetables. Ducks are gross feeders,
but not particular as to quality. We
keep them in yards, with wire nettin !.
two feet high. Some of them dress over
ten pounds per pair. 1t is necessary to
nave water dishes so constructed that
they can drink freely without getting
vet themselves. We use galvanized
iron tanks, about the size of six-inch
pipe, tight at one end and open at the
other. Small hoes are bored through
this tank about quarter of an inch
from the top. 1t is then filled
or partly filed, with water, ac>
cording to number and size of ducklings,
and inverted into thin saucer half an
inch deep and about an inch larger in
diameter than the tank, leaving half
inch space for the ducklings to drink
from between that and the tank; the
water will ooZe out of the little holes
just as fast as they drink it and no faster.
Ducklings should he fed about the same
as chicks for the first few days, giving
them milk, ii to be had, by mixing
their food with it. Care should be-
taken the first few days to keep the
young ducklings warm and dry. For
the first week they will suffer
more from cold and wet than
chicks. After tn t tine they will en-
dure more of either than chicks. Corn.
meal, exclusively, is too concent ated
and will soon cripple them in their legs
and feet. 1t should be mixed with bran,
boiled potatoes, &c. 1t is a pleasing
and comical 81 ht to see three or foui
hundred young duckl ngs when first
out. They are much more interesting
than chicks, harder, and if we'll cared
for the morta ity is much les,.-N. y
