Pickle for Hams. For one hundred
pounds of limn tnke six gallons of water,
nine pounds of suit, one quart of mo
lasses, tlireo ounces of snltpeter and
one ounce of snloratus. When ready
to smoke, they can be soaked and fresh
ened to taste, if too salt.
Soft Soap with Potash. Excellent
eoap may be made by the following re
ceipt: Use a pine barrel, for a hard
wood barrel will warp and leak. An old
fish barrel is commonly taken for the
purpose. Put ten to twelve pounds of
potash, and throw upon it two pailfulls
of boiling wnter. Lot it digest awhile,
end then put in two pounds of grease
to each pound of potash. Have the
grease hot. Let that digest awhile,
then add a third pailful of hot water.
Keep doing thisuntiltho barrel is with
in six inches of being full. Stir occa
sionally until the whole is mixed. It
should stand three months before use.
Stir oecasionally during the first week.
The longer it stands' after making the
better the soap.
Delicious Codfish Balls. Put the
fish to soak in lukewarm water, and
soak half au hour, then pour off the
water a second time, add more fresh
water, and let it remain on the stove till
it just comes to a scald. Pick the fish
free from skin and bones and chop it up
fine. Boil and mash your potatoes, take
one-third fish and two-thirds potatoes,
and mix evenly together. If not salt
enough to suit the taste, add a little
pepper. If too dry to make into balls,
wtt with a little milk till you can work
it well. Make into small 'balls with the
hands, roll in flour, and they are ready
to fry. Have your fnt very hot, using
pork fat and suet. Some dip the balls
in tho white of an egg or roll in bread
crams, but they are igood without if
fried to a rich brown.
Oatmeal Breakfast Cake. This is
made with No. 2 oatmeal, with water
enough to saturate it, and little or no
salt. Pour it into a baking tin half an
inch or three-quarters deep, shake it
down level, and when this is done it
should bo so wet that two or three
spoonfuls of water should run freely on
the surface. Put it in a quick oven and
bake twenty minutes. It will be as
light and tender as the best " Johnny
cake," or else you have wet it too much
or baked it too long. This is one of
the most aeeommodating baked dishes
that can bo made. It will do very
nicely with a little longer time if the
oven is not quite hot. If it will not
bake there at all, pour it into a frying
pan, cover it close, and stt it on top of
the stove, wkero it will even bake in
fifteen minutes. For a hurried break
fast and a slow coal firo it is invaluable.
Scarcely any wholesome thing in the
bread line can be prepared more read
ily. It can bo made still thinner aud
baked quicker. It is good either crisp
or moist. For emergencies alone, every
housekeeper will find it convenient to
be able to make tho breakfast cake.
Many use oatmeal mixed with buck
wheat, wheat or corn for griddle-cakes.
For this the writer prefers it cooked
first. Take, suy one pint of the por
ridge or the mush, diffuse it in one
quart of water aud add the wheat meal,
sifting it in aud stirring slowly.

that it cannot be worked to advantage.
Cover asparagus with a thick coating
of manure, first cutting the tops and
burning. If the tops aro not burned,
the seed, if scattered through the ma

Cold-frames for tho protection of
cabbages and other plants should not
be covered except at night until very
severe weather. The plan shonld be to
keep the plants from growing as well as
from freezing.
The best plan for storing cabbages is
to invert the heads and cover with four
to six inches of earth, leaving the roots
exposed. A dry place where the water
will not stand should be selected.

" Doctored" Barley.
The Chicago Tribune says: Two of
mo nuns ior aoctonrig barley with sul
phur aro understood to bo located, one
at Lena and tho other at Sycamore. It
is said to be more diflicult to detect
barley that has been doctored than it
was last year, as it is now steamed after
Having been sulphured, which takes
away all but a faint trace of the smell.
Nevertheless, the inspectors have de
tected several cars of tho stuff, and
pasfied it as 'unmerchantable,' and,
thus far, no appeal has been taken from
their decision. As tho inspectors will
adhere to tho rule in everv case, the
game will probably be soon found to be
a losing one, as iar as ima market is
concerned. One instance was reported
to us, which it is both a duty and a
pleasure to chronicle. A commission
man in this city, who is not a judge of
barley, nor does he profess te be one,
received a consignment of this stuff a
day or two ago, wnicn he sold by sarn
i
ie at su.via per busnei. jjetore the
ill was paid he discovered from out
side sources that the barley had been
sulphured, and went around to the
buyer to inform him of the fact, offer
ing voluntarily to deduct 15 cents per
bushel from the price, if that would be
satisfactory, and expressing his regret
that he had been imposed on. We be
lieve that that barley came from the
neighborhood of Lena, 111.
Winter Fues. The fashionable set
of furs for the coming winter will con
sist of a boa end muff. The boa is from
a yard and a half to two yards long;
seal-skin boas are made flat, while those
of longer furs, such as fox, marten, and
lynx, are round. Fur collars are little
worn exoept by old ladies, invalids, and
those who are exposed to long cold
drives in the country. Muffs are of
medium size, just large enough to hold
the hands, and too small to be burden
some or clumsy-looking. To this set
those who can afford it add a fur wrap,
usually of seal-skin, which is eacque
ehaped, and from twenty-fhe to thirty
inches long,
VIrture of Tar Water.
Bishop Berkeley published a work
" On the Virtnres of Tar Water." and
later in life just before his death he
published a sequel, entitled " Further
Thoughts on Tar Water." The common
way of making it was to put a quart of
tar into a gallon 'of water, stir it
thoroughly, let it stand forty-eight
hours, then pour off the water. A half
pint in the morning, on rising, and a
half pint on going to bed was the
common dose. In those days it was
almost as common to call for a glass of
tar water in a coffee-house ns a dish of
tea or coffee. It was not only regarded
as a sovereign remedy tof many grave
diseases among men, but was much
used in treating the diseases of horses
and cattle. "I never knew," said
Bishop Berkeley, " anything so good
for the stomach as tar water; it cures
indigestion aud gives a good appetite.
It is an excellent medicine in an asth
ma. It imparts a kindly warmth and
quick circulation to the juices, without
heating, and is, therefore, wsefnl not
only, as a pectoral and balsamio, but
also as a powerful and safe deobstruent
in cachetic and hysteric cases. As it is
both heating and diuretic, it is very
good for the gravel. I believe it is to
be of great use in a dropsy, having
known it to cure a very bad anasarca
in a person whose thirst, though very
extraordinary, was in a short time re
moved by the drinking of tar water."
The bishop published his great work
"Siris ; or a Chain of Philosophical
Reflections and Inquiries Concerning
the Virtues of Tar Water," in the year
177-1. Notwithstanding the opposition
and ridicule, of physiciaiiB,philosophers
and men of Bcience, tar water had an
enormous success.

The greatest sheep-raising and wool

estimated to be 2,500,000, and tho
amount of wool raised annually 12,500,
000 pounds. More recently, New Mex
ico has become a great field for the in
dustry, and stands among the very first
countries in the world for its enterprise
and success in this direction. As to
the amount of capital necessary, we are
unable to inform you. We may, how
ever, state that a gentleman in Califor
nia, who invested 87,000 m the purchase
of seventeen ewes and two or threo rams
of the Merino breed, is now in the an
nual receipt of 85,000 regular income
therefrom. As to the "probability of
success," that depends so much on in
dividual characteristics, ou locality, on
the chances in the selection of stock,
and on a thousand other side issues,
that it is quite impracticable to prophe
cy with regard to it. Industry, self

will go far in stock-raising, as in any
other enterprise, if allied with judg

succeed. Exchange.
Artist and Editor.
Quite a conflict has sprung up be
tween Nast the artist and the New York
Herald. Nast burlesqued the Jfcrald's
Crcsarism and the Herald in retnrn,got
up a relief scheme for the artist, who it
claims is in indigent eiroumstauces.
The " friends" of the scheme make re
turns of postage stumps, lead pencils,
old clothes and small script. The artist
proposes to illustrate young Bennett's
life in Paris, Icq., and the conflict prom
ises to be leugthly and stupid. The
artist has the advantage. People read
pictures especially personal pictures
who cannot read newspapers, and here
the artist hus the advantage, despite
any merit in tho conflict. It is said
that in the Tweed conflict, men who
never read the papers, would gather in
front of the news stands and their ex
clamations " Oh, see the Boss, with
bracelets on aiid the striped clothes,"
had a stronger effect than any words
oould have, printed. The quarrel be
tween the type and brush should cease
before it reaches tho extreme to which
it is fast tending.
Retaliation.
Regarding the probable condition of
the workmen, due to the reduction of
force in many Iron establishments, says
the Scientific American, we notice with
regret that the sentiments of one of our
most prominent firms breathe a spirit
of retaliation and a lack of sympathy for
the men, on acoount of the part taken
by the latter in the strikes of a year ago.
Such expressions tend but to re-open
old wounds, and employers will find
that, instead of thus planting the seed
for future feuds, they will serve their
own interests best by considering the
welfare of their employees. By assist
ing their men in a time of trouble, to
the extent of their ability, they will en
graft in them a feeling of gratitude
which will serve materially to diminish
the ctances of future dissensions ;
while it will be but ordinary charity to
endeavor to alleviate the condition of
fellow beings who, from no fault of
their own and for an indefinite period,
are thus forced ont of employment and
compelled, as best they may, to lace the
hardships and miseries of the coming
winter.
A " Prize Swindle.
A correspondent says ho saw an ad
vertisement of an association in New
York "chartered by the State." As
tickets were but twenty-five cents, he
sent, and received in reply a ticket.sny
ing his number had drawn a piano
valued at 8350, but asking for 9 to pay
expenses and packing. He does not
know what to do. The association will
not send the goods C. O. D., but want
the 89, before doing anything. A man
who will be foolod out of his money by
any advertisement that offers to give a
gold dollar for a brass penny ought to
lose his money, and has no business to
complain of the loss. The newspapers
have done all they could to warn peoplo
against the swindles.
Pain in the Ear. As soon as any
soreness is felt in the ear, let three or
four drops of the tincture of arnica be
poured in, and the orifice be filled with
a little eotton'to exclude the air, and in
a short time the uneasiness is forgot
ten. If the arnica is not resorted to un
til there is actual pain, then the cure
may not be as speedy, but is just as
certain, although it may be necessary to
repeat the operation. It is a sure pre
ventive against gathering in the ear,
which is thcjusual cause of earache.
Consult Women." Much of the ex
travagant risk of speculation, " observes
a writer in the Woman's Journal,
" Would never be incurred if women
were consulted. That reckless and un
scrupulous use of money and of credit,
which sows the wind to reap the
whirlwind, does not at all commend
itself to the conservative temper of
woman." We see now how panics and
fi&ftacial collapses jnay be aywded,
The Birth of the Snow-Drop. 1
Far away among the nne-olad hills
of sunny Franoe, there lived a poor
weman with her only child. She was a
soldier's widow, and gained a scanty
subsistence by working in vineyards.
Little ltenie was only able to follow his
mother in her labors ; but he loved to
sit under the vines and see the rich pur
ple clusters of grapes that hung among
the green leaves like bunches of aino
thvsts. The widow dearly laved her little son,
and often, seating him upon hoi knee
after the labor of the day was over, she
told him of his father ; how he was a
good man and a brave soldier, who
had died fighting for his country ; and
then she Would sob and press the child
to her bosom, as she related how hand
some the soldiers looked, marching on
to tho sound of fife and drum, and how
not one of that gallant band ever re
turned again.
Renie was much too young to under
stand all this ; but as he grew older,
he learned that his mother had left lrtr
home with a yenng soldier, and tint
her father never forgave the marriage
or saw his daughter again. The ol
man was living still in a distant prov
ince ; but, though the heart of th
lonely woman yearned for home, am
with a mother's pride she longed ti
show her boy, yet she knew the stenj
nature of her father, and dared noi,
seek him to plead again for the pardon
so often denied.
At last the poor widow fell ill. and
though it was the season when the rich
hue of the grapes deepened into perfec
tion beneath the warm sunbeams, she
knew full well that she should not live
to gather them.
The dying mther bade little Renie
come very near to her, and then, in
faltering tones, whispered that she
must leave him, and perform a long,
dark journey alone. But the child,
with violent sobs of grief, clasped his
arniB about his mother's neck, praying
to go with her and not to be left be
hind. '
Then the widow, whose strength was
failing fast, comforted her child, " I
will not leave you forever, my son ; we
shall meet again in my Father's
house." She spoke no more, and soon
poor little Renie was an orphan.
The peasants made the poor widow
a grave in a quiet spot, and gave the
little boy a bono among themselves ;
but day after day he threw himself up
on his mother's grave and wept, refu
sing to be consoled. Children gathered
about and pressed him to join their
sports, kind women drew him to their
bosoms and promised to cherish him.
strong-hearted men raised him up and
bade him be of good cheer, but Renie
turned from them all to the cold, damp
sod, exclaiming, " She will not leave
me forever ; my mother will come back.
I will wait for her here."
When they saw all their comforting
words were of no avail, they left him,
trusting that the natural joyousness of
childhood would overcome his grief ;
but when weeks passed on and brought
no change, they learned to respect the
child's sorrow, and the grape-gatherers,
83 they returned from the vineyards
with baskets of the beautiful fruit,
paused in their vintage song as they
saw little lienie with his arms clasped
about the woodon cross upon his moth
er's grave.
The leaves at length dropped dry and
sere, and tao snow rested upon the hills :
then Renie himself fell ill, and for
many weeks ho could not rise from the
little cot where a kind peasant and his
wife nursed him tenderly ; during the
tedious hours of illness his mother's
image was ever before him ; and, re
membering her words, " We shall
meet in my Father's house," he resolved,
when he grew strong again, to go and
seek her, as she did not return to him.
The snow had not yet melted in the
valleys, though the sun was shining
warmly, when Renie feebly turned his
steps once more toward the spot where
lus mother slept. He knelt down be
fore the little cross, and his warm tears
fell fast upon the snow, when, lo ! just
where the tears had fallen, appeared a
tiny blade, struggling to pierce the
crusted ground. The boy tenderly
scraped aside tho snow that the little
plant might feel the sun, and another
warm shower of tears fell upon it as he
did so, for he remembered his lost
mother's love for the flowers.
When Renie came again to the grave
he saw with surprise a group oi lovely
whito blossoms, that seemed to bend
sorrowfullv ovnr tlii roiI. Tho child
knelt beside them, and a strange feeling
of penee crept into lus heart.
" My mother has sent them from the
land where she dwells." he thought,
" to show that she has not forgotten
me ;" and a smile of hope beamed on
his sad, pale face, as he looked fondly
on the flowers.
But when the peasants beheld this
mysterious little plant blossoming in
the midst of the snow, and of a kind
they had never seen before, they were
filled with astonishment and awe.
" It is sent from the spirit land," they
whispered, " and born of Renie's tears.
See how each snow-drop quivers upon
its stem like a tear about to fall ! His
mother knows his sorrow, and would
console him thrift. "
Gradually the grief of the little boy
became more subdued, and hope and
cheerfulness beamed upon his face once
more. He loved to water and nurture
the tender blossoms, and soon the grave
was eiowded with the delicate and grace
ful flowers, gently bending towards the
earth.
When tho next spring time came, the
hills were covered with the delicate
blossoms, and for many years the peas
ants named them " Renie's Ceusola
tion." '
An Apology.
The editor of a Western paper onoe
gave a notice of a ball, and happened
incidentally to mention that the danc
ing of Major Heeler's better half was
like "the cavorting of a fly-bitten cow
in a field of cucumbers." The fact that
the editor had not been invited to the
ball may somewhat detract from the
value of the simile, while at the same
time it accounts for his establishing the
figure. The major, accompanied by his
better half and a six-shooter, called on
the editor to complain of the poetical
nature of the image. On learning that
the lady was the one he had described,
the editor besought her to raise her
veil. She did so, saying,
" Now, Sir, I expect yeu to apolo
ffize."
" Apoligize ! I should rather think I
would." was the answer, as he seized
his hat and rapidly left the room.
The astounded major rushed to the
window: "Stop, you Sir ! you have not
apologized I
"All right: I m going to do it in a
minute !"
" Wh t do yon mean ?" shouted the
major, a ventilating the note of interro
gation with a pistol-bullet.
The answer was wafted back from

.. -i Thousand Years at Least
Wallace.
In an issue of Vature, Mr. Alfred
Russel Wallace indulges in some specu
lations on the probable antiquity of the
human species which may well startle
even those who have long since come
to the conclusion that 6,000 years carry
us but a small way back to tho original
homo. In fact, in Mr. Wallace's reckon
ing, 0,000 years are but as n day. He
begins by complaining of the timidity
of scientific men when treating of this
subject, and points out the fallacy of
always preferring the lowest estimate
in order to be " on tho safe side." He
declares that all the evidence tends to
show that the safe side is probably with
the large figures. He reviews the
various attempts to determine the an
tiqnity of human remains or works of
art, and finds the bronzed age in Eu
rope to have been pretty accurately fix
ed at 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, the stone
age of the Swiss Lake dwellings at
5,000 to 7,000 years " and in an indefi
nate anterior period." The burnt brick
found sixty feet deep in the Nile allu
vium indicates an antiquity of 20,000
years j another fragment at seventy-two
feet gives 30,000 years. " A human
skeleton found at a depth of sixteen
feet below four buried forests super-
fiosed upon each other, has been calou
ated by Dr. Dowler to have an antiqui
ty of 50,000 years." But all these esti

December, 1851. It needs no little
desperation to faco this people a des
peration that can scarcely be communi
cated over a party of weathercoeks like
the Right Centre. The Army might
be counted on, with MacMahon at its
head ; the clergy led by Archbishop
Quibert, of Paris, and Bishop Dupan
loup, of Orleans,miglitmoke an efficient
royalist chorus, and the Prefects of the
Due de Broglie might gag the out
spoken press, but the coalition would
bo frail indeed, with all this conceded.
Small wonder, then, that it should be
shaken down with a piece of paper
covered with the divine right preten
sions to absolutism, written by the
Count de Chambord.

Ward Beecher's church seems to be
drawing to an end. Not long since a

tested against its adoption. He had
no quarrel with Mr. Tilton, and had
no charges to make against him or any
other member of the church.

NEW YORK, 173-1. WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY.
THE WEEKLY SCX is too widely known to require any extended recommenda
tion; but the reasons wbich Love already given it fifty thousand subscribers, and
wbich will, wo hope, give it many thousands more, are briefly as follows:
It is a first-rate newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, con
densed when unimportant, at full length when of moment, and always presented in
a clear, intelligible, and interesting manner.
It is a first-raio family paper, full of entertaining and instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend the most delicate and scrupulous taste.
It is a first-rato story paper. The best tales and romances of current literature
are carefully selected and legibly printed in its pages.
It is a first-rate agricultural paper. The most fresh and instructive articles oa
agricultural topics regularly appear in this department.
It is an independent political paper, belonging to no party, and wearing no col
lar. H fights for principle, aad for the election of the best men to office. It es
pecially devotes its energies to the exposure of the great corruptions fhat now
weaken and disgrace our country, and threaten to undermine republican. institutions
altogether. It has no fear of knaves, and asks no favors from their supporters.
It repoits the fashions for the ladies, and the markets for the men, especially the
cattle markets, to which it pays particular attention.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published. One dollar a year will secure it for
any subscriber. It is not necessary to get up a club in order to have THE WEEKLY
BUN at this rate. Any one who tends a single dollar will get the paper for a year.
