Curing Hams.

As the time is at hand for preparing these
useful stores of rich and savOry, few words
will not be out of place in regard to them
The legs of hogs, short in the hook. are the
best for hams and should be chosen in pref
ercnce to lanky legs. They may be salted by
immersion in a clean pickle containing little
sugar and saitpeter dissolved, or they may be
saltcd by rubbing ground solar evaporated
salt over them, turning them every day, and
giving them a good rubbing. little sugar
and ground pepper added TO the salt will much
improve the flavor of the meat. 1t requires
about month to salt hams by the wet pro-
cess, and three weeks by the dry system. At
the end of this period, they should be hung
up for few days to drip, and then they are
ready for smoking. Much depends on the
kind of material used for smoking them, so
as to secure sweet flavor. Whatever fuel is
used for this purpose, one condition should
never be overlooked; it should be perfectly
dry. or else it will be liable to impart a bitter
taste to the meat. Dry corn cobs. and some
dry sweet hay are superior to all other agents
that we have seen employed for smoking beef
and hams
Mutton hams may be prepared in the same
manner as those of pork and they are exceed
ingly palatahle when the meat is good, and
care exercised to smoke them slowly.-!Scien-
the american.

Lunar Oil.

Equal to coal gas, the newly discovered
Lunar oil affords the most brilliant light we
have ever seen, and its safety and cheupness
are additional recommendations to its illum-
mating power. 1t gained very deservedly
the first silver medal at the recent exhibition
of the Mechanics Institute, and wherever
used is fully approved. 1t burns steadily
without Pickering. has no smoke, emits no
odor, and cannot explode. In point ofecono-
my one dollars worth of it gives the light OF

of burning fluid, aud Si4 20 Of candles; half
pint burns fifteen hours at an expense of
FIVE cents and gives light equal to six candles.
The lamp in which it is used is easily mana
ged and imparts II beautifully agreeable light;
this renders its use superior to all artificial
illuminating powers. The agent in our city
Is Mr.. George Beatty, who has his Office Mt No.

can be seen in use besides insumerable testi-
monals of its utility aud cheapaess. For
country use or in those parts of our city

and we feel confident that IL will speedily win
its way to the public favor.-LOs. Jour.

The Morality of Dress.
The Aadependent says

The Hadepe1dent says
"The resolutions of the Mama Conference
of the Church of the United Brethren. declar-
ing the wearing of crinoline incompatible
with true christian profession, seems to be
rigidly enforced by the authorities of that de-
nomination. At camp-meeting of the Uni
ted Brethren Church, recently held near West
Baltimore. Montgomery county, Ohio, Bishop
Russell forbid any one with hoops on to par
take of the sacrament, affirming that they
would not be welcome at the table of the
Lord"
If the doctrine and discipline of Bishop
Russell were to be enforced here in New York
to-day, we fear we should have but few Chris
tians, even among the angels in calico and
crnoline. 1t Is difficult to discover anything
really irreligiOus or immoral in hoops, per sc.
If the soul and body, which are thus hooped,
are what they ought to be. why exclude the
outside covering from the table OF the Lord
To US (miserable sinners that we arep there
is abOut as much unreasonablaness in the
proposition as in the suggestion that women
ought not to come 20 the Sacrament at all,
because the Saviour had invited none of them
to the Last supper IN \. Express.

ssThe Parrot Eand the Picked Wal

AS TOLD Me BY LITTLE JULIA.

A certain Young lady, who was famous for
making good picked walnuts, and was very
fond of eating them too, one season dIscov-
cred that her jars were emptied before she had
fairly tasted her flvorite pickle. She called
her servants to account. but each one denied
having meddlcd with the jars, and the good
lady determined, if possible, to find out the
thief So she made another fine lot of pickles,
and placed them on the shelf in the same
store-room, keeping daily watch upon them.
To her great surprise, she discovered no other
than her pet parrot to be the pillferer OF her
pickle itrs She caught him hooking ont the
walnuts with his crooked beak. and in her
anger. she dashed a pitcher of hot water
upon him, which she CHANGED to have III her
hand.
Poor Poll was in sad plight, both in suffer-
ing and appearance. his bright feathers ali
fell out, and he was long in this naked con-
ditiOn nursed by the pity of his torgiving
mistress During this period of probation, a
venerable friend of the lady one day came to
visit her. who was quite bald. Poll waddled
quietly into the paror. and, climbing upon
the back of the old gentleman chair, seemed
for some time to be intently examining his
bald head; then, growing bolder, he got upon
his shoulder, and with beak upon the bald
spot. cried

lowing romantic story:

source, of startling incident, which occur

fair TO rival the most exaggerated romance of

this terrestrial paradise has forfeited her posi-

Turkish Lord, by an indiScreet passion for a
Jeto, the dragoman of one of the Consulates
of that city. For sometime they have been
living outside the bonds and bounds of Holy
Matrimony," without any suspicion attaching
to her fidelity. Her position. as one of the
first ladies of Damascus in beauty aud rank,
placed her beyond suspicion, till, by .fatr
pas of her paramour, her guilt was discovered.
He had visited her in the disguise Of fe-
male costume tor some time, and was only
discovered by an iDdiscretion in his move

sert. where she rluded the vengeance OF her
pursuers but a few hours.
Her body was cut 10 pieces and with the
