THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.

The debate on the Midland Railway, ( which took place m the House of Representatives on Thursday, was by far the best we have had this session. Its tone was lofty and dignified, and there was an uitsr absence of that carping captious spirit which too often lends anything but a charm to our Parliamentary discussions. Each speaker took high ground, and while honorably recognising the duly of dealing with the Company m a spirit of fairness and justice, was still not forget ful of the claims of the colony to be also considered. The Hon Major Atkinson opened the debate by moving — '"That the House agree with the Report on the Midland Railway." After explaining that the ' Committee had gone to a great deal of trouble m endeavouring to put the contract m a reasonable form, he said that he did no) propose to go into the general question then, but sug gested to the House two points to which they might direct their attention — the guarantee and the gold-mining - rights. He further stated that if the House agreed to the report of the Committee, the Government would . endeavour to get the contract made out m legal form, and signed before the House rose, if possible ; but if not that the Government should be authorised to negotiate with the Company for a-: revised contract, and concluded by expressing a hope that the House would agree to the report of the Committee. Sir George Grey originated a lengthy discussion by moving — "That the contract be considered In Committee of the Whole," which was ultimately negatived. In the debate on the con tract there was a matked consensus of opinion as to the necessity of proceed ing with the construction of the line. The only point on which there was any important divergence of opinion was on Clause 3, providing that if the land granted to the Company shall not be of the value of the Company shall select further land up to that amount. On this clause being read Mr Downie Stewart moved an amend ment, the object of which was to pro;* vide against any money guarantee being Jgiven by the colony. Later on the Hon Major Atkinson said that he had been asked by several members to state the opinion of the Attorney- General on Clause 3. The opinion was that the Attorney-General con sidered that Clause 3 was sufficient to prevent the Company making any money claim on the colony. Mr Downie , Stewart's amendment was then put : and lost. The remaining clauses were agreed to, several minor amendments having been negatived or withdrawn- From the evident disposition of the j House to proceed with the line, we think we are safe m arguing a speedy and satisfactory settlement of this question ; for it has long been one that has proved a source of great anxiety to a very large section of our fellow colonists. We hope soon to have the pleasure of announcing to our readers that the revised contract has been signed. __

LIGHT FROM A LAND OF DARKNESS

It is curious that a valuable photo graphic invention should come from the borders of civilisation — Rutsia. Photc graphio etchlcg upon boxwood blocks, such ac are ÜBed In wood engraving, has been deemed a practical impossibility. We leera, however, that it has recently been accomplished tn Rusda, and by a method eimple and ingenious. The block m ita natural condition, is, of course, unsuitable. The first etep is to fill ita porea with insoluble oarbocatetf copper by means of tsro separate solutions, m,, which ft fo botfed suffiaienily. A poliih is then Imparted tp Ha. «uff*ce, asphalte m solution applied to its back and aides, and finally A-eetisitive gelatine film placed over tho poliebel fa.2B. The eubject to be etched is now photographed on the surface, and, by washing the soluble and anprinted parts of the gelatine Is removed A coating of asphalts is next appled to the raised parts, tbe block eteeped m nitric acid of suitable strength (the atrongor the better), where it remairs oce hour, ffhen it is removed and subjected to the action cf aulphanc acid for the same time. The portions unprotected are thus changed to nitro-celloloße, which, by brushing, is readily removed m the form, of a greet ish powder. To complete the pruceos, the Hock ia dried and brlakly brushed with a stiff brush. The aaphalte ia lastly rr moved with betz^ne. and the block ia ready for the preee. The ptrctloal valne aa to depth aDd retention of details we cannot state. It ia an innovation, how ever, that may prove worthy of attention

FEEDING FOX EGGS

There Ia little doubt that the production cf egga may be largely increased by a systematic, scientific plan of feeding, and tbe average poultry-keeper sh' uld give thlß matter a gcod deal of etnry and attention,

The acientific part cf It need not frighten one who is willing (o read, study and pqt m practice «hat they learn; Those who are recognised authorities assert that the egg product of a hen io her prime ia about ihree times her cwo weight yearly, and m view of this fact the Importance < f supplying her with food rich m all (he elements that make the egg ia at once apparenf. An egg contains all the ele ments of a liviog chick, fleab, bone, smew, blood an d feathers, beside the shell ma-ttr, which Is moßtly lime. The principal elements m the egg are sulphur, oil, phnephoroaa, limo and nitrogen' The food that Is given the hen shcu'd Contain all the elemcu's that exist In tha egg. These are /ound m wheat oatP, corn, bran, Unseed, crushed bone BUift-.wer Eead, and vegetable matter! A reasonable mix ure of all these, varied more or less, with vho aid of crushed lime stone or gyr sum, would f.fr.\,r4 every ele ment called for to produce a corstant yield of eggs. But there is another poibf. A proin-nent writer on ihe sul ject rightly rev aikß that < ne of the greatest mistakes m feeding- fows is over feed ng. Whtn persons get the chicken fever they get on thusiastic m the cauee end stuff thdr fowls instead of feeding them, if hens are allowed to run to grain m the barn, Ihey cat twice as much as they ought to Jind the result is a short supply of <™ 8 Where they are confined to yards they are too frequently gorged with food which makes fat instead of providing- these ele monis which go to make up the egg. As a general thing corn ia fd to tho exclus : on of everything else, aod while it is gocd lor fattening, it ia a poor one for egga it fed exclusively. Ko food contains all tho elements, end some sort of variety muet ho provided— "American • aruier."

Mrs Fannie Gbeen. AenßUßNiuii, Mass , Jan. 14, 1830. I have been very sick over two years. They : all gave me up as paat cure. I tried the most ; skilful physicians, but they did not reaoh the worst part. The lungs and heart would fill up every night and distress me, and my throat ■ was very bad.

There 1 was a lot of sick fo'ks here who have seen 1 how they cured me, and they used them and ; were cured, and feel as thankful as I do that > there is so valuable a medicine made.
