CURING MEAT.-As the time for put
ting up meat for the next year is at
hand, we invite attention to the follow
ing method for curing meat, recon-
mended by writer in the Southern
Cultivator:
Kill early if practicable. Salt in
boxes or troughs having holes in the
bottom, so that brine, or fluids ex-
traoted from the meat may run of,
else it viii injure the flavor of the meat.
Let il remain iu salt about four weeks,
frequently rubbing it with dry salt At
the end of that time rub off the surplus
salt, and hang up and smoke. To keep
shippers out Of meat, keep the fly of.
This will be easily accomplished by
having a closely built smoke-honse, so
that when the door is shut it viii be

be dry, snd so high that the meat will
not be heated during the smoking.

| Not many years ago, two Frenchmen--one
wealthy and in the possession of ready cash.
and the other poor and penniless-occupied
by chance the same room in a hotel In the
morning the seedy one arose first, took from
his pocket pistol, and holding it to his fore

Mortified companion:

quietly creptto his pantaloons han led over

A ocean steam Race.

An exciting contest between two large
ocean steamships, from Southampton to New
IorK, Is 10 come OH THIS rofiJn. me London
NeOs thus speaks of it f41
A great ocean steamship race will, it is ex-
pected, come off next month. As our readers
are probably aware, there are two large rival
foreign steamship companies, the North Ger
man Floyds, running between Bremen and
New York, via Southampton, and the Ham
burg and American, running between Ham
burg and New York, via Southampton. Their
steamers are built in this country, but manned
by Germans. They carry hundreds of well-to
do Germans to America every week, and their
ships are SO large, swift and commodious that
they have become faYorites with English and
American passengers. In consequence of the
rivalry existing between the two companies,
and the disputes as to the respective merits of
the two fleets, it has been resolved to test the
speed of two of their finest ships, the Ham
burg company's Allemania and the Bre-
men company's Hermann Both of these are
new and monster steamers, of enormous
strength, and they make the Atlantic passage
in about nine or ten days. They will start
from Southampton for New York together
Both ships have been backed to heavy amounts
already, and the race will be an exciting and
remarkable one.
The Allemania and Hermann are both gor-
geously fitted up.

Dismal For ebOdinks.

The Chicago Tribune beseeches Gen Grant
not to go to Europe at present. 1t fears a
great emergency may come upon the country
during his absence, and it dares not trust
Cen. Sherman i'll such case with the control
of the army. The emergency is to come, ac-
cording to the Tribune, in this way-and the
joke is that the Tribune is as serious as any
deacon in 9prophesying Congress will pass
the civil rights bill, Or some other bill, over
the Presidents veto; the President will refuse
to execute it; Congress will thereupon mpeach
the President; the President will denv the
power of Senate from. which more Than
twenty members are forcibly and wrongfully
excluded, as he thinks, to sit in judgment up
on him, and will disregard and deny the i'm
parchment and removal and persist in acting
as President. Then it will become matter
of some consequence who shall control the
army and navy, and the Tribune aforesaid is
sure that Gen Grant would be on the side of
Congress, and Sherman might be with the
President. Hence the Importance of Gen.
Grant sticking close at home till the danger
is over Chicago has for several years been
trying to lftitself gradually out of the swamp,
but the Tribune seems to be placed in one of
those bottomless quagmires, where struggling
only sinks one deeper into the mud No

Browniow Out Against the President

IF any decent or sensible man, North or
South, entertains any honest doubt as to the
propriety of sustaining the policy Of President
johnson, let him cease henceforth to doubt
We can offer such testimony as will prove amp
ly sufficient to satisfy the most skepticsl, even
s'doubting Thomas" would acknowledge him
self convicted by the irresistible logic of the
evidence. Brownlow denounces the President
and his policy. No other evidence, we know,
will be required by any honorable man to es-
tablish the justice, the humanity or the de-
cency of any measure, than to know that this
Reverend Minister opposes it. We cannot err
in the opinion to which we give utterance,
that no name will figure in the pages of the
history of the recent struggle, more conspic-
uously infamous, and certainly in his own
State it is difficult to conceive the intensity of
hatred, and the boasting contempt felt towards
him by all who respect religion, or honor vir-
tue.
The conservative party Of the country, and
President johnson himself, have great cause
of gratitude, that providence did not put it
into the heart of this fiend, in human form,
to attach himself to them,-Lynchburg Daily

President johnson Abroad.

The speeches and messages Of President
johnson are being translated into all the Ian
guages and published in all the journals Of
Europe, and are meeting with an amount Of
attention and discussion that has never been
bestowed upon any political documents in this
generation. His Freedmen Bureau veto mes
sage is less easily comprehended by the press
of the Continent than his message at the open
ing of Congress; but the Presidents argu.
guments in favor of limiting the power of the
Executive are applauded as reaching the
heights of political virtue. In the French and
other continental papers that arrived by the
last steamer, President Johnson's speech Of
the 22d of February is reproduced, in various
languages; and instead of ranting about the
few personal remarks uttered by the President
on that occasion, they find in its vigorous
statements, determined purpose, magnanimous
spirit, and independent position, everything to
praise. In few days they will have the Sc
cond presidential veto and proclamation to
study, and in the Presidents arguments on the
rights of the States and the limitations OF
federal power, they will find political dogmas
as important to the successful operations of a
free government as any that could be uttered

| 1he New lork correspondent oil the Cn-
einnati Commercial says
In the announcement of deaths, published
by one or two of our papers on Monday, an
peared the information that one Philip Bur-
rows died recently in town in Italy. But it
seems to have escaped the usually attentive
memory of our public that quite long tale
| hangs upon this little item OF mortuary news;
for this same moribund individual was once a
lawyer OF some prominence here, enjoying
large and lucrative practice, and in the conf
dence of many of our heaviest capitalists and
real estate owners. pro
He was counsel for the Van RensSelaers, A
L. Stewart and Others in his day; his brother
being, While living, partner of the great dry
goods merchant. In an evil day, however.
Philip Burrows went back on both his clients
and his character by suddenly clipping for
parts unknown, taking with him a large
amount OF money temporarily entrusted to his
care by several estates, quorum magma pdfs
was the handsome sum of half million
of money belonging to the Van Rensselaer,
family, and paid to him by Mr.. Stewart as
the purchase price of the magnificent Metro
politan Hotel, then just bought by Mr.. Stew
art for the sum named.
Burrows was at the time acting for both
parties to the transaction, and, upon delivery
of the deed Of the property, was promptly
placed in funds by the purchaser. But the
temptation was too strong to be resisted, and
the legal gentleman incontinently packed up
his duds, gathered together what little of other
peoples funds he could get at handily, and
started for Tuscany, where such things as re-
QUESTIONS and extradition nuisances are ig-
nored. 1t is said that one or two Of his VIC
tins followed him up with sharp stick; hut
when they came to bring law to bear upon
MIN, he wasJswift enough to turn thea table
upon them, whereby they not only lost their
suit, but had to foot heavy costs.
In respect to the Metropolitan Hotel matter,
rumor says that the Van Renssalers did not
get dollar for that handsome property. The
buildings having cost them nearly 100000
to erect, not to speak of the value OF the lots
upon which they we're built, their profits on
the sale were worse than infnitesimal All
this occurred fifteen or twenty years ago, and
meanwhile Burrows has been living il Italy like
