Political Brenst-pins.

Some Of the wing aristocrats of this
city are sporting breast-pins in the shape
of clog cabins and "cider barrels
made OF gold, and costing perhaps from
five to ten dollars. This is also strongly
representative Of their principles--.this is
the ariStOcrdcy which " sTooPs TO CON-

wonder if real log cabin man can be
found in the country, who would be caught
wearing such an article! We guess he
would rather spend that much money
at blacksmith's shop, for an axe or grub
bing hoe.
BY the way, the democrats, as a set-off,
have got up another kind of breast-pins,
which they wear. They are fve-cent
pieces, with pins attached to them, pre-
senting the front of The goddess of liber-
ty, surrounded by the Thirteen stars, with
staff in one hand mounted with the lib
erty cap, and the other resting upon the
American cOGt Of arms. These pieces
are procured of the date 1910, as alike
commemorative of the era of the great
struggle of the shin-plasfer aristocracy
against hard-money, as well as indicative
of their principles and the glorious ui-
umph of that BILL OF DELivERANcE AMI

When Mr.. Po,Rsett's plan vas laid before Con-
gress, it as usual in such cases. referred to the
committee on the Militia. On the 80 of June
ls40, Ml. Clay Of Alabama made report in the
Senate, and a few days afterwards Mr. Kein, the
distinguished Democratic member from Old Berks
IN Pennsylvania, I.ade report 10 the House, on the
plan OF the Secretary at War. Both these COM
Inittees, after having given the subject due consi
deration, conclude that, as the powers necessary
to produce an efficient Militia is divided with the
General Government and the states, and Congress
therefore has only a qualified agency on the sub
ject,-nothing eitcctua can be done for the re-or-
ganisation o.! the militia, unless the foundation
shall be laid by the previous action Of the state
legislatures; and usk to be discharged from the

duiy repaired of him, and what nearly all the pre-
sideuts had done before him. 70 the present adj
administration, however, belongs the credit of having
settled ths question in Congress, until the States
themselves shall have made the beginning.
1t was to- be hoped thai, as this question will
probably never be again brought before Congress,
the miserable slangwhang Of the wings on the
subject would cease forever. But it seems to be
the delight Of that party to deal in bugbcars, and
ghosts, and "gorgons and chimcras dire and as
the people ate beginning to understand their mo-

Health Of Nsc York cay.-The Journal of
Commerce says "The number of deaths in the
city last week was 202 1877 of which were Of
children under five years of age. The life of a
child, born in this cy, and remaining here through
the seas n, from year to year, is not worth much.
1t may live to grow up but is much more likely
to die in infancy. The months of July and Au-
gust are especially trying to young children, when
IN addition to teething, they suffer immensely
from heat, bad air, and the like. It is melancholy
to think what multitudes perish in our large
cities in life's early dawn and how much suf-
lering is endured even by those that survive
When circumstances permit it, we think it is
clearly the duty of parents to take or send their
young children into the country for few weeks
in the hot season. They will at any rate be more
comfortable, more healthy, and not improbably
an omission to adopt the course indicated, will
cost them their lives. Notwithstanding tie
abundant rains and the unusual amount of light.
ming within the last few days, the mir is hotter
and more sultry than before"

Curing Beef and Pork.

A writer in the Farmers Cabinet"
gives receipt for curing beef and pork,
winch from several years experience, has
satisfied him of its excellence:
For Beef-2Oo pounds.
l2pounds salt
gallons water, (pure and SOFT
pound brown sugar
LOUNGES saltpetrc,
quart I've.
The ingredients are to be mixed with
the water cold; well stirred and skinned
and put on the beef cold-no fire being
used in the process.
Pack your beef in the cask, and be-
tween each place sprinkle little fine
salt: then pour over the pickle, and let it
stand until sailed to your taste; usually
about four weeks are sufficient.
The same receipt answers for pork, u.s.
ing Is pounds of salt instead of twelve.
| have never failed of having the choicest
hams, by pursuing this method. Both
beef and pork should be rubbed with salt,
and laid on shelves long enough to be-
come perfectly cool previous to being con-
aligned to the pickle tub.
The following is our mode of curing,
as well as that Of number of gentlemen
of this place, and we think there can
scarcely be a better. 1t requires little
more labor than the above, bat the salts
faction and benefit of having clean and
pure meat, more than compensates for it.
1t is this:
gallon of water,
IL lbs. salt.
J lb. sugar,
o. saltpetre.
Let these be boiled together until all
the dirt from the salt and sugar (which
will not be little) arise to the top and is
skinned off. Then throw it into large
tub to cool; and when perfectly cold,
pour it over your beef or pork, to remain
four or five weeks. The meat must be
well covered. but will want no sprinkling
or rubbing of salt before at or the time of
putting down. Let this mode be once
tried, and our word for it, it will be tried
again.-Germanto,Cn Telegraph.
