SHOP wHITTINGHAms LETTER.

n
1t is certainly a matter of regret with liberal
minds, that our good Bishop should have writ
ten so strange a letter as that which he lately
addressed to the editor of the Baltimore San,
on the subject of the Baltimore lottery-yenders.
The opinions advanced in the letter are only
worthy Of darker age. One of the most use-
full institutions that blesses our country is the
Life Insurance Company. The benefits of fire
and marine insurance are familiar to all per-
sons. The Life Insurance Company has proved
itself beneficial, in more than one instance, TO
the bereaved families Of deceased clergymen.
This worthy prelate ought to point out a
method by which the fine arts in the United
States can be suitably cherished and sustained,
before he undertakes to denounce the Art
Unions The arts have in every age been the
handmaids of the Christian religion; and, to the
honor of the Christian church, let it be remem-
bered that she has hitherto been the patroness
Of the arts of sculpture, painting, and architec-
ture. The Art Unions were established to en-
courage native genius !; and, by,a concentration
Of effort, to accomplish that which individual
enterprise was unable to- accomplish. Thanks
to the good sense and good taste of our fellow
citizens they have been eminently beneficial in
developing the talents of our native artists, and
in rewarding substantially their labors. Does
Bishop Whittingham recollect that, in the ear
Hest and purest age Of the church, one Of his
predecessors in the episcopate was elected by
throwing dices do not advert to this fact to
prove the lawfulhess of this mode Of election,
because have never been convinced that the
Apostles were infallible; but l do advert to it
to show that, in their opinion, there was moth
ing sinful, per Sc, in q resort to the lot / re-
commend the benefits of the insurance policy to
all men, and to clergymen particularly; and
hope that, in spite of this illustration of fepisco-
pal indelicacy, they win avail themselves of its
advantages wherever they can do The Art
Unions, by the voluntary offerings Of our citi-
zens, will go on and prosper, Notwithstanding
this unwarrantable interference with their in
terests. E.i#. A CHURCHMAN.

BeA- By the reports Of the debates in the
British Parliament on the Papal aggressions,
we find that in the course of debate, Mr. Henry
Drummond, member for Surrey, got SO excited
that he poured forth the most gross and vulgar
epithets on the Roman Catholic religion. This
naturally excited the members protesting that
creed, and scene of turbulence ensued which
the London reporters have only family described.
The House was in perfect uproar, and it was
feared that a personal conflict might ensue.
The Speaker had to call upon the House to as
sist him in maintaining order. 1t is not i'm
probable that the affair may result in challenge
to Mr.. Drummond from Mr.. Grattan, the mem
Der for Meath, Ireland. Mr.. Grattan is crack
shot, and is Of the duelling stamp, but Mr..
Drummond may not be equally disposed to try
the powder-and-ball argument. The laws in
England against duelling are very severe, and
this may also serve to check the passions Of
these honorable gentlemen.

ance in Washington, d. c. 1t is sold at two
cents a copy and issued as an evening edition !;
several numbers have reached us which give
evidence of tact, talent, and enterprise on the
part of its proprietors, Messrs Connolly, Winner

we have with Mr.. Connolly, we risk nothing in
saying the " TELEGRAPH will prove, under his
management, as spirited and popular paper
as has ever been published in the District of

commend it to the liberal patronage and sup

its success Louisville Courier r

SMOKE HOUSES.

Many persons commit great errors in
building smoke houses. 10 be nice, and
be a handsome and respectable appur.
tenance to the farm, it must forsooth be
built Of brick or stone, with close fitting
doors, and single aperture for the egress
of the smoke. The consequence is, the
meat is black and bitter, and might as we'll
have been put in a pickle of pyroligneous
acid; having lost all its fine flavor, smell
ling Of SCOT like chimney sweep. The
walls are so close and cold, that the smoke
condenses and settles on the hams or ba.
con, and instead Of drying it becomes fab.
by and i'll colored.
A smoke house can hardly be too open.
II takes longer, to be sure, to perfect the
process, but when completed the meat is
dry, of fine, chesnut color, and deli
cate flavor of smoke penetrating the whole
mass.
The best houses we have seen, are built
with a stone wall, three feet high, tagged
bottom, and wooden structure built on
top Of the wall. Common siding is tight
enough, or boards endwise like boarding
a barn is sufficient, with a tight board or
shingle roof. The bottom is used for an
ash house and the smoke fire built on the
ashes. 1t is safe for both purposes, and
will produce much finer article for those
who have sweet tooth for that delicious
treai--a Favored ham Guernsey Times.

0Aere IL one thing that would. like to
imffess upon the minds Of the farmers ol
this tpuntry, To all you that have boys
thae scana write, get each one memoran-
dun book, few sheets of4paper will do,
if nothing better can be had, and in that
have each one keep an account of every
day'swork done in the year, the kind oI
work employed in; and the day of the
month and date Of the year.
afFin sowing, mention the kind OF grain,
and the amount Of seed per acre. The
time Of planting and Of reaping In fact,
should have them note all the passing
events Of the farm; and as they grow older
they will find more of importance to note.
Six cents will buy book that will last
one year to commence with. My word
fori it, if the farmers will adopt this course,
their sons will be much better farmers than
their fathers.
II may seem like dry business to com.
mence with the first Of January, but as the
spriEg opens, the green grass appears and
bright prospects are in our paths, and the
task will be more pleasing every day until
the close Of the year.
Who would not give twice what the pa.
per and ink cost, could they but obtain
memorandum book written by grand.
father a hundred years ago9
FRY it, farmers, young and old; keep a
journal OF every eay, and you will become
race OF scientific book farmers, not to
be imposed upon. George Washington,
one of the best farmers Of America, kept
journal of the farm.
Much might be written to prove the ben
eft of such course, if adopted; but
leave 1t for the present, hoping some one
more capable will write upon the subject
hereafter.-Erchange.
The above article contains most excel.
lent "hints." Such journal should be
kept by the young folks in every farmers
family. The kind of weather, its temper.
atnre if thermometer is kept, the em.
ployment of the day, the birth of animals,
the sale Of produce and animals, and the
prices received for them, the time of the
blossoming Of trees and the ripening of
fruits, the marriages and deaths in the
neighborhood, and many other events
would form items for nightly record in the
journal. The value Of such record, if
kept for two or three years, would be ap-
parent in every family, and the boys would
not only find the keeping of such a jour-
nal an agreeable amusement, but valua-
Bile means for the improvement of their
minds. Try it, boys.-ED. TINES.

HAMS IN SUMMER.

To preserve hams during the summer,
writer in the Genesee Farmer says:
Make number of common cotton bags,
little larger than your hams; after the
hams are we'll smoked, place them in the
bags; then get the very best kind OF sweet,
well made hay; cut it with a cutting-box or
knife. and with your hand press it well
around the hams in the bags; tie your
bags with good strings; put on a card the
year, to show their age, and hang them up
in your garret, or some dry place, and my
word for it, if you let them hang for five
years, they will be better Cor boiling than
on the day you put them up. have kept
them seven years, and have some now
that are four years old. This method will
cost but little, as the bags will last for
years. The only loss is the hay, and that
the cattle will eat if given them in the win
ter. No flies or bugs will trouble the hams
ifthe hay is well pressed around them; the
sweating Of the hams will be taken up by
the hay, and the hay will impart fine
flavor 10 the hams. w. T.. CULVER.
