AN ANGLo-FRENcH SToRY.-Two English

the borders amused themselves by playing togeth-

one Of them said to his adversary, 81 will bet you
that YOU do not kill me in this duel at ten PAGES"
u take the bet," said his adversary; 81 shoot bet
ter than you, and, being the offended party have
the advantage of the first fire." That's no mat
ter replied the other" Il wish to make the mat
ter interesting, and ] bet my fortune against
yours" Ozone" said his companion. When
they reached the ground the one who offered the
bet said to the seconds: You my witnesses that
if my adversary does not kill me, all his fortune is
mine, for myself and my children" The seconds
made sign of acquiescence. The conbatants
were then placed at ten PAGES distance, pistols IN
hand The aggrieved party was to fire at the third
motion of the hand; but before the second motion
was made his adversary had blown out his brains
His children inherit nearly million-for he won
his bet; his adversary did not kill him.

CHEAP METHOD TO Cure BAcoN.--At this

diate!y. The plan is simple and commendabe for
its economy Of salt. Take kettle or large pot
nearly full of water, put in little salt than
the water will dissolve, bring it to boil, cut up thu
meat, and while animal heats is in it put in the
kettle and boil from two to four minutes, according
as the meat is thick or thin; rub meal to keep
off the fes then hang and smoke it. The brine
must be kept up to its full strength by occasionally
adding salt When the work is dore, the remain.
ing brine may be boiled down and the salt saved
for other uses, or for the next killing.
"Mr. Morton tells me he learned this plan from
an old man forty years ago, who had used it for
years previous. He has frequently tried it in the
month of August with invariablo success. Every
one who knows him will vouch for the truth of his
assertion"
We, the associate Editor of this paper tried the
method of sailing pork by the means of placing il
in strong brine. We bought dead hog weigh
ing pounds last week, placed half of it in cold
pickle, and in forty hours the thin parts
were too salt for frying for breakfast. The ham
appeared to be quite we'll struck, but We did not
! think it quite salt enough to hang up So we
had it put in pickle again. From our little ex.
perience in the matter, We shall in future adopt
the plan of emercing pork in strong pickle,
instead of pursuing the old mode of rubbing and
wasting salt. The pickle must be as strong as salt
can make it. When strong as it can be made the
salt will melt no longer We think, though vel
have not fairly tested this latter that at least
third Of salt be saved by using brine for sur-
ing pork Wilmington Journal.

The Reason the Neao York Tribune ,eanted to
let the seeding States go.-The Albany Argus
recently charged that Greeley was willing to let
the seeding States depart in peace because he
knew that would prevent the United States ever
becoming Democratic. The Tribune, in reply de-
murs to this version, and says:
"How utterly false and dishonest the shove is,
our readers already know. We had no thought
of this that party, but of saving the country, by
timely concession, from worse calamity than the
loss of the cotton States"
The Tribune, then, cannot hope to conquer the
