THE SOUTHERN CONVENTION The New
Orleans Crescent city, speaking of the Southern
Convention at Nashville, says:
''Ihe wildness, not to say Stiffness, of this project
Is relieved by scarcely single feature of gravity at
taching toit. One week ago we thought that the
Convention would certainly be held on the lst of
June, as proposed; and that it might be important to
send to II as delegates from this State men of COM
prehenslve patriotism, enlarged craftsmanship and
eminent abliity-not to aid in doing good, (lor, M
we conceive, no good can come of the Convention
but an preventing eriI. We are now of differ
ent opinion. We have doubts as to whether there
will be convention in Nashville on the lst of limo
will certainly not be convention of the Southern
States; for, unless present indications mean nothing
not one half of the Southern States will send TO i
delegates, and, from those States, these delegates
will be clothed with only such power as the LessIa-
notwithstanding their constitutional functions
may confer upon them"

TO MAKE THE BEST BEEF HAMS.

Take the hind quarter of good, fat animal, and
make a cut down all the way into the whole length
of the bone; then cut out the bone, leaving the meat
with one long cut into the centre-neary resembling
split cylinder. Now lay down in clean brine, Of
good salt, that has been boiled and skinned and into
which there has been dissolved little sugar Let
1t remain in this brine for about ten days. at least do
not let it get too salt. Then lift out and hang it on
hook TO drip for about three days Take it down
when all the brine has drpped of it, and lay it
upon table. Have ready a (very litte) quantity of
salt mixed with considerable black pepper and ground
cloves. Rub the meat by hand, both inside and out,
with this mixture and then have readya bail of stout
hempen cord or twine. Then roll the meat firmly
ronR1, making it into a conical shape. After this
take the cord and commence at thiciest part of the
meat, to roll round, drawing it firmly every coil
having each coil wrapped and drawn firmly round
at about fourth of inch apart, up the top or
small end The cord must then be laced down on
both sides opposite, in such way that each lower
coil of cord may be cut without Ioosening the coil
above it. This roll of beef is then the ne plus ultra
cf beet hams 1t has but to be hung up for two or
three days. and slice of it commencing to eat at
the lower parO either broiled fried makes dish
fit to enchant epicure. To cut it. the roll should
be laid upon table, and with large sharp knife
it should be cut in thin round slices and when enough
for meal is cut off it should be hung up again.
Hams should never be hung up in a warm situation,
but in dry, cool airy place. The fat and lean in
this kind of ham is beautifully mixed in every slice.
The seasonings assnilate themselves with the meat.
and give it very peculiar and agreeable flavor.
Let those who make their own beef hams, try this
methods and fthey ever forget or neglect to do it
afterwards, although it is little more troublesome
than smoking the beef, we are no iudges of human
nature.-.4merican .fgricuIt,wist.
