GS The lawyers of New York, having
determined to honor Attorney general
Evarts with public dinner, the long
haired lnnatic of the Independent, Theo
dore Tilton, breaks out as follows:
cit is always so agreeable to our feel
ings to see deserving man honored that
we are thankful to those who honor him
But his garland ought to be only for his
unspotted and never for his furnished acts
Moreover, when a guild of men like the
lawyers Of New York, join in a public
tribute to one Of their brotherhood as in
giving public dinner to Mr.. William NJ.
Evarts, they should take care that their
plaudits to their comrade re cho no rdi-
cule to themselves.
1.-The lawyers who invite Mr.. Eyarts to
dine say rashly in their invitation that
the highest possible compliment which
can be paid to the New York bar is the
fact that the President Of the United
States chooses one ofits members for At.
torney- general. Now. what President
chose Mr.. Eyarts for Attorney general 2
Andrew Johnson--an escaped criminal /!
Nor, in choosing him, did the willy rogue
mean thereby to compliment the New
York bar, but only to settle with Mr..
Evarts for services rendered. Mr.. John
son had no money, but could pay his
lawyer with an office and his lawyer,
needing no money, ambitiously accepted
the office. This transaction, in the judg-
ment of a bevy Of New York lawyers, re-
fleets distinguished honor on the New
York bar, But, unless the law has ceas
ed to be the noblest Of professions, the
honor of the New York bar ought to be
so bright that any compliment from An
drew Johnson would fall upon it as a
stain Praise from sir hubert Stanley
is praise indeed but praise from Mr.
Eyarts' guilty client and infamous chief
is opprobrium and insult"

said by the keepers daughter and when
she was divorced, presented her with a
ring of pearls, thanking her for having
said kind word while her courtiers
looked on and remained Indifferent That
ring has ever since been held in great
veneration. Its last owner was about
six months ago, looking round the cellar,
when his wife, who was with him, sud.

ring. Search was made, all the wine was
cleared out and cobwebs disturbed, but il
was nowhere to be found. Had his wife
lost it in the cellar? She was confident

The GAMGEE MEAT-PREsERviNG Pro
cEss. We have been shown some meat
preserved at the Chicago Meat preserving
Company, which gives unnlistakd hie
proof of the value of the system The
process is exceedingly cheap and simple.
The animal is rendered inscnsblc by in
haling carbonic oxide gas, which depriv-
es the carcass of large part Of the
oxygen. The OK is then bled while in
sensible, and dressed in the usual way.
The carcass is placed in an air tight re
ceiver and the air exhausted by an air.
pump driven by steam. Bags Of charcoal.
which have been previously charged with
pure sulphuric acid gas, are placed in the
receiver with the meat, or in receiver
connected with it, and left TO act upon the
meat after the air is exhausted,
After vacuum is produced, the receiv-
er is filed with carbonic acid gas and left
for from three to six days, when the meat
is taken out and shipped to the market,
All the oxygen and germs of decay are
destroyed by the process, and the meat
actually improves in quality by keeping.
That now on exhibition at 80 CORTLAND
street, which has. been cured two months
and was sent from Chicago last week. is
sweeter aud more tender than that bought
in market which had been killed twenty.
four hours,
Fowls are cured by this process in .
few hours, and some prairie hens, killed
a long time ago, are now in the city in as
good condition as when killed
This process will prove Of great ad.
vantage to consumers. The expense OF
transportation Of cured meat is small
compared with the bringing of cattle tc
this market, and the animals will be kill
ed in much better condition than they arc
after having been driven thousand miles

MAKING CIDER.-Small fortunes have
been made during the two years past, by
buying cider at from tour to six dollars a
barrel and selling it from three to twelve
months thereafter in the shape of vinegar
at from twelve tc fifteen.
Considerable in this line is being done
this fall. Cider is worth from four to six
dollars barrel, and such farmers as have
apples to appropriate in this way, might as
well get all they can from a given number
of bushels, as to have all the work for less
return.
1t is mistaken idea to wait till the APP
pies are half rotten before the cider is IN ade,
or even to wait a day after they are shaken
from the trees. Every day that they are
thus left, decreases the amount Of juice that
can possibly be expressed from a given
number Of bushels.
The old idea of waiting till they are mel
low is exploded. Recent experiments made
under the eye of the writer, show that f. ON
apples in a state Of semi-decay, you can get
rarely more than three and one half gallons
to the bushel. while from apples green and
fresh, you can obtain as high as fohr and
one quarter gallons of net wine.
They should be ground in the mill as fine
as possible--the finer the better-and the
sooner the press can be put upon the pun
mace, the purcr and larger will be the run.
