To PRESERVE SMOKED MEAr.-fIow often
nre we disappointed in our hopes of having
sweet hams during the summer. After care
fully curing and smoking and then sewing
them up in cotton bags, we find that either
the fly has commenced family in our hams,
r. that the choice parts round the bone are
.irtcd, and the whole spoiled.
Now this can be easily avoided by packing
Vhem in pulverized charcoal. No mntterhow
hot the weather, nor how thick the flies, the
hams will keep for years. The preservative
quality of charcoal will keep them till the
charcoal itself will decay

PELTssIER.-A letter from Paris says: at
is n fact, OF the authenticity of which there is
no doubt, that at the moment when the order
was given by Marshal Pelssier to attack the
Malskoif Chat attack which decided the fall
of Sebastopol,) he had already had in his
pocket, for twelve hours, an order from Paris
not to make the attack. This order was the
precursor of his recall, which was then on the
way, and which was a-condemnaton of his
previous i'll success against the Malakoif, or
of his slow progress, which Ind produced dis.
enlargement here. The Marshal foresaw the
blow which threatened him. Abso!ved by
victory, he has changed the degradation which
awaited him, into promotion to the dignity of
Marshal.
