The Washington Star of the
10th Buya when the news of the
resignation of Senators Conk-
ling and Piatt reached the
treasury department to-day
great excitement ensued, and
the officials and subordinates
alike were gathered .in groups
throughout the building dis-
cussing the situation and its
probable effect. The theory
which has been advanced is
that the senators who resigned
are quite confident of being re
turned by the New York legis
latm-e. It is very generally ac-
cepted but in some quarters it
is maintained that on account
of the legislature having hereto-
fore endorsed the nomination
of Robertson, as collector of the
port of New York, it cannot
consistently endorse the action
of the two senators in opposing
it. This coprse howeVer, as is
Conceded by prominent repub-
licans, can easily be brought
about.
The Star also publishes the
following news of the senators :
Concerning the senate sensation
one republican senator said
they will both be returned by

other said, that while* he jfjad

anything about the republican
of r New York will tell
yon'that Conkling and Piatt
will be endorsed with a vim.
Some of the republican senators
said they were too anueh sur-
to oppress ^py opinion
on the subject. 7
Democratic se nators were de-
lighted at the action of the Now
York senators. They made no
effort to conceal thie gratifica-
tion. Some of them said it
would igjjjden the breach In the
republican party.
The almost universal opinion,
as far as expressed, was that
Conkling and Piatt will both go
befori* the legislature fur re-
election; that they will regard
their re-election.as a rebuke to
the administration as Wull an
an approval of the oourue they
have taken.
Some of the democrats speak
of the action as olap-trap, say-
ing that Conkling and l'latt
know in advance precisely how
the legislature stands and just
how many votes they can got,
and that they are iu no danger
of losing their seals, Those
who are disposed to criticise to
any extent bold that the en
dorsement Conkling and Piatt
will get, will not count for much
because they are assured of the
result, that if they would wait
and go before the people their
course will be more com me
datory.

[A.M. F. of Urlmtin, III., In Chit-ago

I am well aware that most
persons will not believe that
this can be done. I have fre-
quently read in the papers, and
in those too, that I regarded as
pretty good authority that it
was an impossibility. I am
continent we can breed the sex
desired nine times out of ten, at
least, and I wrote an article to
that effect for one of our papers
some years ago; but before I
was ready to mail it, i Tead an
article by one of our very wise
meu (as I suppose) to the con-
trary ; so wondering if it could
be possible that my experience
for so.many years merely hap-
pened to be what I bred tor,
concluded to wait aud watch
closer. This I have done and
am still as firm, if not firmer, in

If I want the offspring to bo

time possible after, the cows

fhe latest possible time. When
fowls, if 1 want females..! keep
a lot of male birds,'and if other-
wise, I keep not less than 8 to
10 -hens to one male bird. With
healthy males in good condi-
