When two or three dozen eggs arc obtained from the nests place them In a dish and pour scalding ?water over them, and immediately turn it off! This process Is repeated three times, by which means the albumen is fixed or coagulated, the pores ot the shell closed, and the egg, as it were, canned inits covering. The eggs thus prepared are then packed In salt, with the apex.downward, and they are said to keep perfectly fresh ior many months. -The New Orleans Picayune says the rice plantations arc now preparing for the next crop. Thc hopes previously entertained of a large increase in the area of land devoted to the cultivation ol this cereal will not be real? ized. A deficiency of labor is one great impedi? ment, and the planters are not well satisfied ?with the prices obtained. However, the bet? ter grades have, during tho whole season, been ia request, and brought remunerative prices. Tho Incoming crop will be about 100, 000 barrels clean. The total receipts at Ne-?? Orleans from September 1 to latest advices are 47,203 barrels and sacks, against 38,131 for the same period last year, showing an increase of 14,166 barrels and sacks, or 43 per cent. The next crop, with a lair season, will be about 100,000 barrels of 200 pottads each, or perhaps a little more. -A good work was done in New York last tweek, when the principal school book pub? lishers of the country, in convention assembled, decided to abolish all agencies, travelling agents, aw the payment or allowance of any commissions *r tno introduction of text books from and after u> first 0f July next. There? after the retail pricey all school publications are to be fixed by the ^pective publishers, from which a maximum dh?ount wU1 De made for cash sales by a committee-* their num0 And bookajin only be furnished >r introduced .In the regular and legitimate way,fngtead of by the modes heretofore in use. The reform ?does not come any too soon. The old s\,tem pr agents and commissions was a source* fearful corruption, as between the publishers and boards of education, school trustees Ac .and terribly expensive to the public, who were compelled to get a new set of books throughout, accordingly as the publishers or 43ieir agents made lt an object to those in power to order a change. -A curious case has been decided in a Mas? sachusetts Probate Court. The guardian of Frederick May, ol Medford, a partly Insane person, had petitioned for leave to invest $10,000 in the construction of a stable. It carno up for n?arlng. The petition was opposed by the heirs-at-law and next of kin as being a prodigal and unjustifiable expenditure, not called for by the necessities of thc ward. On thc other hand it was shown that tho estate amounted to *200,000 or upward, and counsel for thc guardian, George Phillips, plead elo? quently that the helrs-at-law were outside parties in such a case, that the guardian was not bound to accumulate thc estate of his ward for their benefit, and that the decisions of thc courts, both in this country and in England, had established the rigid of the guardian to extend, not only the income, but, in proper proportion, thc principal of the estate iu such casu, in ministering to his ward's happiness and wants. The court concurred in this view and granted the petition. -The growth of thc petroleum trade Is al? most without a parallel in the history of com? merce. In 1859 the petroleum product was less than 100,000 barrels, the home consump? tion had scarcely begun, and there were no exports. From this stn .li beginning the pro? duct in America has reached about 4,800.000 barrels annually, and the consumption of the world a like amount. The export from the United States in 1861 was 37,500 barrels; in 18G8 it was 3,200,000 barrels. The amount o? money received at the wells in America for oil in 1850 was less than $50,000; in 18G9 it was no less, than $28,330,000, of which $26,000,000 was re? ceived in Pennsylvania, $2,000,000 in West Virginia and Ohio, and $350,000 in Canada. In 1869 thc value of the export of petroleum and its products from the United States approxi? mated $40,000,000. Over 200 vessels were en? gaged exclusively in thc export trade, and an agr?gate of about 850 cargoes were shipped to all parts of thc world from New York. Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Portland. Thc Charges against the Aiiti-Rndicn.1 Members. The floating rumors affecting the official integrity of the anti-Radical members of the Legislature have at last assumed a definite shape, and it is now distinctly charged, in the columns of a Radical paper, that Mr. James C. Beatty, one of the members from Horry, did agree to sell his vote on the Phosphate Bill. The statement is that Tim? othy Hurley, a well-known lobbyist, was requested by Wilson Cook, a colored mem? ber of the Legislature, to send Mr. Beatty his douceur for a vote, and that*HurIey requested Cook to bring an order for the money. It is stated, further, that an order for the mouey, regularly signed by Mr. Beatty, was presented by Cook to Hurley, who refused to pay the money, on the ground tiiat the vote was not necessary. We are confident that Mr. Beatty will promptly deny the truth of the shameful charges now brought against him, but Mr. Beatty owes it to his own constituents, as well as to the State at large, to make affi? davit whether Timothy Hurley or Wilson Cook, or any other person, did attempt, to buy his vote, or to influence his public action in any improper manner. While exonerating himself, Mr. Beatty can, in this way, clo good service to the people of the State, whose due lt ls that avery proper mean3 should be taken to convict and punish the miserable members of the State Legislature, as well as the astute lobbyists, who arc notoriously guilty of un? blushing bribery and wholesale corruption. Franco and Constitatlonul Govern, mcnt. Neither the Rochefort affair, nor the more I serious complication growing out of the kill? ing of Victor Noir by Prince Napoleon, has shaken the purpose of thc Emperor, or seems to have diminished his strength with thc army and the mosses of the people. Rochefort might have made himself a mar? tyr whose name and memory should encour? age the people to overthrow, if they could, the Imperial government; but timidity, or the thought that, for him, the living Roche fort was more worth than the dead hero, al? lowed the decisive moment to pass, and now his name is connected with an absurd fiasco instead of with a story of devotion and sacri? fice which might go sounding down the ages of France. The policy of the government towards Rochefort bas bec."* wise and tem? perate. As long as he confined himself to abusing the Emperor and his ministers, no heed was given him; but when he became a rioter, fainting and blanched by thc way, the law closed its hand and sent him to jail, as it would have sent any gamin who made a disturbance on the Boulevards. This was a mortal wound, and thc present indications are that Rochefort is politically dead. Tlie Victor Noir affair is embarrassing and is still an element of trouble. Say what men may of abstract justice, there r.re few who expect, or desire, that Prince Napoleon, how? ever guilty, shall bc sent to the scaffold. The Emperor has the power to save; and, if the Prince Napoleon be condemned to death, will, undoubtedly, save bis cousin from the last extremity of the law. The Third Napo? leon is no Brutus, and the better for France that he is not. If he allow the Prince to escape, Rochefort and his followers will shriek and howl, declaring that there is one law for the Prince and another for the pea? sant. And if the Prince be executed, the popular verdict will be that the Emperor sacrificed his cousin to public opinion, and had not the pluck to rescue one of his blood from the hands of the public executioner. There are extenuating circumstances; and in France the aversion to the death penally is stronger every clay. Napoleon will not allow his cousit, to be executed, but his con I duct will be so arranged as to jar as little as possible upon the sensitive public nerve. Thc Emperor is preparing himself for new trouble, and preparing well. Doubts were cast tipon his sincerity in attempting a con? stitutional government, but he persevered. The premier, M. Ollivier, was baited and bullied, but he still moved forward. And now the Emperor tells his ministers that the work of liberalization must go on, and that the Senate must have only a concurre nt power, uot a prohibitory power, in the coun? cils o? the nation. This looks like business. So far the Emperor's conduct is rational and consistent. From his point of view, and from that of millions of others, it is indis? pensable that u steady baud should hold the reins while changes were made in the gov? ernment of a nation which bas known no mean between license and despotism. The people now are accustomed to thc measifc of constitutional liberty which is given tir?m, anti the Emperor goes still fur? ther forwau in order to pnt an end, ns he says in his leture to Minister Ollivier, to the immoderate desii* for change which pos? sesses certain spirits who distrust the public mind, by their belief in the instability of thc present rule. A Good Sign. The freedmen's savings banks are report? ed to bo in a prosperous condition. In 1865, the Freedman's Savings Bank of Washing? ton, D. C., received less than $1000 a day, and, during 186?), the daily deposits amount? ed to $14,000. It bad on March 1, 1866, an aggregate of S19?,2$3 on deposit, which was increased to $1,657,006 on March 1, 1ST0. At thc various branches, thirteen of the twenty-sis cashiers are colored men. Thc New Orleans Savings Bank is the largest branch, and the institution at Vicks? burg, Mississippi, ranks next These statis? tics indicate that the colored people arc making very gratifying progress in habits of industry and thrift.

IMPORTANT ANNC SCEMENT. _ * GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES. QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED. We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed stace we first in? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem it unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy descriptlou of their merits, Ac. There is hardly a eity or town of any note in the country into which they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and dally Increasing demand is owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of thc day, we have stiU. further improved their quality, aud now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of davor. It is a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In short, we think lt the best that ls made, at least, this is the decision of the best judges ta thc coun? try. We don't pretend to compete ta price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the day. which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For quality and style, we defy competition.
