The friends of universal education

Senator Blair says he expects that
the committee will report a bill to
the senate soon after the holidays,
and ba has no doubt of its passage.
He receives a great many letters and
petitions npon the subjeot, and
■ays . there is an almost uni

schools throughout tbe country. He
aays that the money congress thus
expended would be returned In the

In a bRck room of a Broadway ofo
bee a curious invention was ex’tib.
itsd yesterday to seveta’ provision
l.alers and merchun s. The tnven-
ioD coLslsitd of a number of artifi
cial eggs, which resembled the real
urtlole s' exactly ft a 1 non*'huCau
Xpert could distinguish them. The
•ueils were made of a clear transpa-
lent composition, and the shape was
perfectly modeled. The portion sur-
rouudiug the yolk was made of albu
men, aud the yolk itself of ground
carrot and safiron. Three of
hese artificial euR* were placed on a
platter by the exhibit'*! with a half

were trld to select the bogus ones
from the collection. The fits’ ixpert
exposed bis iguoianoe by pick-
ng out three real eges aud declaring
mem to he artificial. The second,
with ft little better luck, owing part
ly to his avoiding the three selected
by his unfortunate predene-sor, man
aged to pick out two of the real egg*
audoreoflhe artlc al ones. Thus
with vaiyiug results each of the tlx
men tried his (kill lu t’e rmining
the difference betwe n the eggs by
tke'r appearance. W e.i laoh had
tnui und failed, the exhibitor said;
"Now, gentlemen, you can test
them iu another way.” A frying
pan was then placed ou the stove,
and in o f* w mtDU'es it began to
simmer. Two of the artificial egg*
were picked up, their shells broken
and their contents dropped iuto tbe
hot pan, where they soou began to
simmer and sputter. A little salt and
pepper, a brisk two minutes’ stirring
with a fork, and as floe a dish of
scrambled eggR «s could be prepared
at a restaurant was placed before his
expecant guests.

sponded the «x ilbitor. "whether real
or artificial, I can make any quantity
of those egg • at a cost of about half a
