Stlett STORY.
HOsS HEAD AND THE FOPS.


Hotels have now become so numerous in
cities, and fare so reasonable, that they are the
resort, at times, of nearly all class of society.
The man who can afford to travel from home,
can afford to stop at hetel and as landlords
are smart enough to regard the wants OF the
million as we'll as those OF the millionarss, we
find the rich and the poor, the high and the
humble, side by side, at hotel tables. Home
spun there sports silver fork with as much
gusto as Mr.. Broadclotb, and the humble
TSally" is as much entitled to and enjoys as
fully, the good things Of life at the richly
loaded table to the hotel, as the accomplished
Miss Josephine Martha Washington Victoria
Maria. Consequently the hotel is good place
to study human nature, for there We see men
and women, too, from all the walks Of life, and
| Of oil classes Of character. "Often extremes
meet" and when such is the case, amusing in;
cidents ara sure to occur.
Sitting one evening in the office OF the o.
House, In Cincinnati, my attention was
attracted toward two genuine and unadulter-
ated fops who occupied seats near me. A
description of them would be uninteresting
for there is 10 community in this broad land
| Of ours without its fops, and fop is fop
and nothing else, the world over. They
admit OF one distinction--city fop and country
fop; and they differ suly in the extent o.

Sailing Pork.

1t is important to have the pork we'll cool
ed before sailing. And it should not remain
unsalted very long after cooling. 1t should
never be allowed to freeze. 1t should always
have a great supply Of salt, and Of the stron-
gest quality, and brine should be made and
poured into the barrel. For il nothing but
water is put in with the salt the pork may bo
injured before the salt is melted enough to
make good brine.
The meat should have q weight upon it, to
ks ep it under the brine; for il pieces Of meat
are permitted to rise above the brine, and re-
main there for any considerable time, they
will be tainted, and will not taste sweet, as
well-salted meat always wilk
A wooden cover IL often used to keep The
meat under tho brine, but stone cover is
better. A hole may be drilled in stone
cover and handle Inserted at very small
cost.
In regard to the scum that our correspon-
dent speaks OF we say that standing pools of
water, either salt or fresh, will have scum
on them. agitation is the remedy which ma
ture provides. The cean is agitated to keep
it pure, and agitation, coupled with salt is
effectual.
Ponds have impure watsr-apd why
Ponds oil small dimensions are not agtated
enough. AS general rule, the larger tho
pond or lake the purer will be the water and
moro free from scum. Running brooks have
purer water than ponds, because in running
the water mingles with the atmosphere-ths
grand purifier Of oil things.
Motion, in streams Of water, brings all the
| foul or riley matter in contact with the other
| matter on the bank that has as affinity for it,
SO that long brook may run itself pure,
though it may have been affected with Filthy
matter near its sourCe
| Agitation Of the pork barrel daily will havo
the effect Of preventing the accumulation Of
scum on the surface; but if this is not conve-
nient, the white surface may be skinned of
as soon as it rises.
1t is quite important TO every family to
have good salt pork. 1t is the very cheapest
meat that we can procure, and for cooking
| vegetables it is the best that is used. 1t
needs no butter to enrich it, but it enrIches
, all with which it comes in contact. Farmers
should not fail to have supply OF pork in
the cellar. Then, il the butcher forgets to
come, there will be something for dinner

TIE SLAxDERER A sander case has just

of seven hundred dollars for the plaintiff
The crime Of SANDER is one that is perpetra-
ted daily, and it well occasionally, to make an
example of the guilty party. The Ihtladet-
phia Inquirer says with truth, that THE indi-
yidual who from vicious and malignant mo-
tiyes calumniates his neighbor, deserves the
seyerest punishment. lie is curse to socie-
ty. and he should be taught severe lesson.
There are others, however, who are scandal;
mongers and slanderers, in mere idleness and
wantonness. They do infinite mischief under
the fern of jest-but the spirit OF their re-
marks, the hidden motive, is almost invarla,
bly, erI. Many life has been sacrificed
through the agency of SANDER The sensl.
tive have been unable to bear up against
some vile columny, and thus sickness and
death have ensued. The habit is heartless
and wicked, and the babitual slanderer should

tonque is full of venom, and his very words
are calculated to produce misfortune and
cause anguish -....
