KcSsuTII.

When Hungary was invaded by Jellachich
in September last, and $4,000 armed men
were collected in fortnight, in the neigh
borhood of notwithstanding to repel tie
aggression, kossuth issued a proclamation,
from which we extract the following SEN
tences:
at Is an e,eral law of God that whosoever
abandoneh himself, will be forsaken by the
Lord" at is an eternal law that whosoever
assisteth himself, him will the Lord assist"
1T is divine law that false swearing by its
results chastiseth itselfn at isa law of cur
Lords that whosoever availeih himself Of
perjury and injustice, prepareth himself the
triumph of JUSTICE standing firm on these
eternal laws of the Universe, swear that my
prophecy will be fulflled-it is that the free
dom of Hungary will be effected by this in
vaa;oh OF Hungary by Jelachich."
This proclamation, which electrified the
chvalrous people TO whom it was addressed,
concludes in a style not unworthy an Eastern
prophet. nor unsuited TO the genius and ORR
gin of his race y, these words: ''8etwecn
vesprun and Weissenburg the women shall
dig deep grave, in which we will bury the
name, the honor. the nation of Hungary, or
our enemies. And on this grave shall stand
a monument inscribed with record of onr
shame, $50 God punishes corardice: , or we
will plant on it the trees of freedom, eternal
ly green, from out Of whose foliage shall be
heard the voice OF God speaking, asf from the
fiery bush TO Moses. The spot on which
thou s:andest ii holy ground:' thus do re-
ward the brave To the Maygars freedom,
renown, well-being and happiness"

IMPORTANT RAILROAD MOVEMENT We
understand that the stock of the Cayuga and
SusGuehanna Railroad, extending from the
New York and Erie road, at Owego, to the
Cayuga Lake, at Ithaca, has been taken by
the parties engaged in constructing the Lig.
geli's Gap Railroad. The latter extends
from the coal fields of the Lackawanna VAL
ley, in Pa, 10 the Erie Railroad at Great
Bend. Thus, by the use of section Of the
Erie Railroad the proprietors of the two
Roads just mentioned will have a continuous
line of railroad from the Lackawanna Valley
to the South end of Cayuga Lake, which
they intend to make their channel for dis
,ributing anthracite coal throughout central
New York ...
The importance of this undertaking will be
appreciated. when it is understood that coal
can be sold al Utica, Syracuse, Auburn and
Rochester, at about New York prices. This
Company have secured one thousand acres of
coal lands in the Lackawanna valley, anu
their charter gives them the privilege OF
mining and selling their own coal. Their
supply is ineXhaustible, and the demand
almost unlimited. They will be able to sup
ply TO Pennsylvania, n return, plaster and
salt in large qnautities,-New York Journal

evening-half an hotr and the boat uo lid
start. He waited twenty mirutes betwe m
hope and fear, when cab stopped near
where he was standing, and from it issued
the little Quakeress, dressed in the same
neat, plain style, closely yelled. Halwood
stepped forward, gave her cordial greet
ing and conducted her on board to the ladies'
cabin. She then requested him to leave
her until they should arrive at their destin-
ed port; he reluctantly did 50 as he had
promised to grant all requests she should
make.
Halwood retired to his state room, bnt
not to rest. Now that he was left to him
self, and had time for reflection, he found
that although his wishes were in some de-
gree gratlfed, he was far from being happy.
He tried TO close his eyes IN sleep, but a
calm quiet face would stand by his side,
and look upon him with cntreating sadness.
1t was that of his wife, whom he pictured
at home lone and sad He thought of the
kindness with which she had always SUPP
piled his wants--the solicitude which she
seemed to feel in all that concerned him,
and more than once he wished himself by
her side TO ask her forgiveness. He tried,
however, TO dissipate such thoughts and
feelings, by thinking upon Alice Carlisle,
who was now to reveal herself to him on
the morrow: and the hours seemed like so
many weeks-such was the anxious State
of his mind
Morn at length came, and its first ray of
light was welcome visitor to the sleepless
eyes of Charles Halwood. He rose, and
went on deck. The tall spires of the city
of P were just in sight and when the
sun had risen above the horizon, they near
ed the wharf, Halwoo1 sought Alice, and,
taking carriage, drove to the City Hotel.
Now they were alone, and the time had arri-
we'd when he was TO behold the object he
had so long wished for. .... .
hlwood stood in breathless anxiety; he
longcd and yet feared to see her unveil her
self She slowly raised her hands, loosed
her bonnet and cloak. together with some
smoothIy-combed hair, threw from her
and kind reader, his o,cn rife stood before
him! Halwood was thunderstruck. He
stood for moment paralyzed. During
th;s one moment, the past, as quick as light
ming passed through his mind every thing
was explained, and he rushed forward ex-
claiming ''Forgive oh, forgive" And
but we will leave them to themselves, and
Just say that the next boat took Halwood to
his home, wiser man.

SAy JOSH, Lower California,
April 30th, 1919.


Having had the misfortune to be partially
stipwrecked near this port, on the route from
Mazatan to San Francisco, the passengers,
consisting in part of the New England Pio-
neers, from Boston, and the Georgia Mining
Company, have attempted the land r3hte
through Lower California 10 San Francisco.
This route, although much travelled Of late
by MeXicaus removing TO the mines, is es-
teemed very toisome Journey, owing TO the
scarcity of food and water, after You leave
the mountain districts, until yon reach San
Diego The excitement in Lower California
in relation TO the mines is scarcely less than
in the States.--Over 1000 Mexicans have
left Lower California for the mines, and IN
most of the towns on the Gulf shore the men
have nearly all deserted, Horses and mules
are all being driven TO Upper California, un-
der the impression that they will bring from
$500 TO $500 al San Francisco. Most of the
emigrants intend settling on the San joaquin
and the emigration from this section and the
Western States OF Mexico will far exceed that
from the United States for the coming wear.
Those engratng from DURANGO and Chi
huahua (Chiuwawa,) are mostly settling or
the Gia liver, and the Americans who desire
mining on the Gila are dsuaded by the dis
parity oftheir numbers and the fear Of the
Meyicans. $4,000 stand of English muskets
have been sent to tie mouth of the Gia
from Ala2atlan, and the Tnmbrs are that il is
the intention OF the Mexican government 10

estimate of distances except by days travel
A muleteer lately returned TO this port from

CrhiNG BACON WITHOUT SMOKE.


To smoke and spoil their bacon"
To make the best bacon, fat your hogs
early and fat them well. By faltening early
YOU make a great saving in food, and well
fat,ened pork makes better bacon than 'lean'
pork. Then kill as early as The weather will
allow, and salt as soon as the animal heat is
gone, with plenty of The purest salt, and a.
bout half founce of salt-petre TO one hundred
pounds of pork.
As soon as the meat is salted TO your taste,
which will generally be in about five weeks,
take it out, and il any Of it has been covered
with brine, let it drain little. Then take
good black pepper, finely ground, and dust on
the flesh side, and on the hook end as much
as will s,ick--then hang it up in good,
clean, dry, airy place-if all this is done as
it should be 1T ought to be done now) you
will have no further trouble with it, for BY fly
time in the spring your bacon is so we'll cured
or dried on the outside that flies or bugs will
not disturb it. .......
Curing bacon is little like the Irishman's s
mode of making punch He said, put in the
sugar, then fill up with wiskey, and every
drop Of water you pu, in after that spoils the
punch Just so with curing bacon after
following the directions given above, every
drop Of smoke you put about it 'spoils' the
bacon. d. s.
