SPRING CHICKENS-
fo«r«a»«4 AeiSviijr Among: tJi* CbJ«lE«« Bataejr*—Am InporlMt EalcrpriM. Said a well-known gentleman of epicurean tastes recently: "After all said and done. I venture the startling assertion that a fine young tender chicken, boiled to a nice turn is just about tine prettiest and sweetest bit of eating thai can tickle the human palate, and I make bold to assert this even to the detriment of prairie-chicken, quail, wild duck, goose, venison, turtle or anything else that fiies in the air or swims in the water." This very positively expressed opinion lead the writer to an investigation of the new field of enterprise that was opened in Terre Haute less than year ago when Wes Shewmaker, watchman at the Vandalia bridge, purchased and put in operation an incubator, and commenced the experiment of "bringinj chickens into the world by machinery.'
Mr. Shewmaker'a first attempt proved to his satisfaction that properly managed the mechanical hens would nltimater prove a source of revenue attained wit comparative ease. Thus far his facilities for protecting the chicks until the frying period of their lives have of necessity been poor and he has lost over 75 per cent of the outcome of his three settings. His incubator, brooder, etc., are in the cellar of his residence, corner of the Vandalia railroad and Water street, and through the variable weather of the past season he has had his brooder (unhealed) filled with chicks, several of which at tbw writing are big, lively young fellows, who apparently rebel against this confinement and are ready to jump out of their feathere onto a grid-iron at the first invitation. One—and indeed the only serious drawback to the perfect success of incubating—is the difficulty of securing fertile ems. Of those heretofore secured from the packers over 6 per cent have proven unfruitful. Mr. Shewmaker will ultimately arrange to have his own hens of the Plymouth Rock variety, and thus insure himself a certain supply of fresh, fertile eggs.
Frank Calawell, of Caldwell Bros., dairymen, living South of the city, who followed in" Shewmaker's wake in procuring an incubator, last Thursday out of a setting of 200 eggs secured a brood of 185 chicks. This phenomenal success is attributed solely to his caution in selecting the eggs. Woolsey & Hudson, had off their first hatch on Wednesday last, and counted 128 chicks from a setting of 200 eggs. Frank McGee, living opposite Mr. Shewinaker, beat the record week before last, his first setting of 200 eggs resulting in a hatch of 190 Healthy little wooly fellows, that with reasonable attention and care will in course of time ripen into 190 toothsome fries. Mr. McGee, recently purchased eighty acres of land west of town and on Saturday moved his family household effects, incubator. chickens and all onto the place and will commence in earnest and with enlarged facilities the business of supplying Terre Haute tables with spring chickens the year around.
James Keegan not long since purchased the property at the corner of Water and Spruce streets on which stands the old Early smoke house, and is remodeling the building throughout fcr the purpose of converting it into a hatchery with a capacity of 1,000 to the setting. He will have the most improved incubators, brooders, etc., and will fence in his lot which is 140x150 feet in area, build chicken houses and otherwise prepare for conducting the spring chicken business on the most extensive and money getting manner. Numerous other individuate throughout the city—notably a a prominent baker, have been investigating the process lately and are .arrranging to enter upon the 5 experiment and last, but by no means least a leading Main street dry goods firm will place an incubator in full operation in their show window as an Easter card. If the present growing fever continues unabated it is* safe to predict that in the course of a few months the squawk of the dying spring chicken will oe heard in many door-yards of Terre Haute and hawvever true the assertion of our epicurean friend (which heads this writing) may have been, lovers of delicate eating will be only too happv to return to prairie chicken, quail and duck and even good old beef, pork or mutton not to mention liver.
Tl»« Wafer Works.
Russell & Revel have been taking advantage of the recent propituous weather and are hurrying the work of construe tion on the engine and pump house and will probably have the same ready for occupancy by the first of May, when it is expected the immense Gaskell vertical compound engine and pumping machin ery will be delivered for setting up. This outfit weighs 270,000 pounds and in order to insure solidity in its position* a foundation of hard brick and cement 10x16 feet and 12 feet high is being built This will be capped with granite and will be stayed with tie-walls to each of the four foundation walls to which will be added rivets of forged iron running through and through.
The wore of placing the twelve big filters in position in the filter house commenced this morning and is superintended by by a representative of the firm who fnnmhed the filters, each of which weighs 0,000 pounds.
The present intention is to commence pumping water on July 1st or possibly sooner, and it is asserted that with the process of Alteration adopted, 6,000,000 gallons of water, pure as crystal, cut be supplied to consumers every twenty-four hoars this at the rate of 120-foot piston travel. This supply iu Use case of emergency can be douoled.
Use plans and elevation of the engine and pump house show a magnificent building graceful gothic rooia and a lofty tower which is supplied with a spiral staircase and from which a moot beautiful view can be had of the city and surrounding country.

DAVJD DUDLEY FIELD A HERO.
B* tt*bafces X»w York Swell for Striking a Utile Street Urchin. A queer looking Little specimen of humanity with an armful of newspapers stood outside of the Grand Central depot the other afternoon, crying his wares. His hair was long and unkempt, his trousers were frayed at the edges, there were patches of poverty on his little jacket, but his eye was clear, and his flattened nose showed that he was the hero of many a gutter battle.
A pomp9US looking individual, with his coat thrown open, a heavy cane in his hand, and dressed in the height of fashion, came swinging down the street in gorgeous style. The boy pulled one of his papers out, offered it to the swell, and was rewarded for his efforts by a thump on the back with a heavy cane. The little fellow howled with pain. The cabmen who congregate at the depot smiled and the other boys laughed in derision.
The swell had proceeded about three steps on his way when a firm hand grasped him by the collar, shook him vigorously, and an old man, six foot two, as straight as a grenadier, and holding a heavy malacca stick threateningly over him, asked: "How dare you hit a boy?"
The swell tried to shake himself loose, but it was no use. The old man's hand was firm, the crowd was growing larger and the boy was howling as though his heart would break. "You, sir," went on the old man, as the blood mounted to his. face, "are a disgrace to humanity. Old as I am, I can thrash you for that cowardly act. And if I ever know you to again lift your hand to a boy I will take the law into my own hands."
The swell's head drooped a little, and his face was pale. The old man looked him firmly in the eye, shook him again, as a cat would a mouse, and walked on. As he did so the little boy, wiping the tears from his cheeks, followed after and thanked him. The old man patted him affectionately on the head and disappeared in the crowd. There was no comment except by the small boy, who exclaimed: "Ain't he a daisy!" He brushed the tears from his eyes and in a moment was as busy as ever selling his papers.
The old man was a daisy. It was none other than David Dudley Field, the greatest constitutional lawyer in the world, brother of Cyrus W. and Stephen J. Field. He is nearly 83 years of age, but as vigorous as a man of 50. In his young days he was a famous boxer and athlete, and the way he tackled the howling swell showed that his good right hand had not forgotten its cunning.— New York Mail and Express.

A writer in The Christian Union givos an amusing account of the first letter ever written to his wife by a certain old gentleman. The couple had never been separated in all the years of their life until "Pa," at the age of 70, concluded to visit some relatives in Boston.
When he was preparing to start on his memorable trip his wife, who was to remain at home, said: "Pa, you never writ me a letter in your life, an' I do hope when you git safely there you'll write me a line and let me know, how you bore the journey. I'll buy a sheet of paper and put in a wafer, so you wonrt have no.,trouble about that."
Pa was absent a week', ancI, /aithfuH to his promise, he sent a letter. It read thus: "RESPECTED LADY: I got here safe, and I am very well, and I hope you are the same. I shall be glad to git home, for the pride of the airth that I see here is enough to ruin the nation. Gad! the women folks are too lazy to set up in their carriages. They loll back and look as if they was goin' to sleep, and I don't s'pose one of 'em could rniik a cow or feed a pig. "Nephew Abijah has a proper diary of horses, an' I have rid all over Boston. There wa'n't no need o' puttin' them boughten buttons on my coat, for nobody noticed 'em. I am "YOUR RESPECTED HUBBAXD,"
An Indian Fights with a BON. I One day an Indian made an excursion to a mountain near Chevantxieurm state of Michoacan, in Mexico, to look after some fuel for his hut While cutting up a dry oak he suddenly felt a bite on the calf of his leg, given in the fraction of a second. A moment later he felt coiling around his body the terrible fold of a boa constrictor. Instinctively he leaned Ids his head over toward the wounded leg and was almost fascinated by the glare of two bright basilisk eyes, that gleamed like fiery coals in the head of the serpent.
Quicker than a fiash the Indian docked his head and caught the neck of the reptile between his Jaws, sinking his teeth in the quivering flesh and clinging to it with the desperation of the dying. The huge serpent lashed his tall and tried to twist its head in order to bury its fangs In the Indian, tot the latter clung on and began to chew away at the neck of the boa, which is the thinnest and most delicate part of the snake's anatomy. After chewing for along time, the Indian succeeded in beheading his antagonist, the folds dropped from around his body, and the Indian was free.—New Mexico News.

Jolm Arbuthnot, the son of a Scotch clergymau, was born near Montrose in 1667. He was educated at Aberdeen, where he took his doctor's degree. Going to Londou to push his fortune, he soon established a reputation as a man of science, and before he was 80 a happy ao orient led to his fortune. Prince George of Denmark, the consort of Queen Anne, was taken suddenly ill at Epsom, and Arbuthnot, who chanced to he there, was summoned to attend him. The prince was cured, and the doctor was appointed one of the court physicians. Swift says that he was the queen's favorite physician, and apartments were given him in St. James' palace. Thus distinguished by the marks of royal favor, Arbuthnot acquired the friendship, not only of the leading men of his party, as Harley and Bolingbroke, but that of all the wits and scholars of the time. He was their trusted friend and adviser. He attended Queen Anne in her last illness, and although be did not continue to hold his official position in the court of George I —he and his friend were Tories—he maintained a great practice among the nobility. He attended Gay and Con greveand Pope and Swift, and in the verses addressed by Gay to Pope Arbuthnot's company is said to drive sorrow from the heart, "as all disease his medicines dissipate." Pope constantly expressed his gratitude to him, and paid him some of his finest poetical compliments. The prologue to "The Satires," Pope's most perfect piece, is addressed to Arbuthnot—Chicago Herald.
A Beantiltol W«lkiii(r 8(lrk, John McAfee, a machinist in the employ of Brinkman Prox, has a walking stick which Judge Mack would do well to add to his already numerous and curious collection of canes. Mr. McAfee made the cane from the knuckles of 200 muscle shells which he gathered on the river banks here, grinding them down into discs about one-eighth of an inch thick, perforating them in the center and stringing them on a steel rod setting them tightly together and then turning the lower end of the rod into a neat ferrule. The stick thus made was then delicately tapered and surfaced in a lathe and carefully polished. Finished,'' it presents the beautiful appearance of alternate layere of mother-of-pearl and the lighter shades of pink and white. The head ia of solid silver, handsomely chased, and the cane as a whole is really an attractive curiosity, novel and beautiful and certainly a fair sample of McAfee's mechanical skill.
