General Meade.

THE telegraph brings this morning the
surprising intelligence that General
George E. Meade died last night, at Phila.
delphia, of pneumonia.
General Meade was comparatively
young naan--ffty-six. He was born at
Cadiz, in Spain, when his father was
United States Consul. Graduating at
West Point in 1885, he passed through
the Mexican war as Lieutenant, and be.
came Captain in 1856. In August,
1869, the President appointed him Briga.
der General of Volunteers, and his first
conspicuous service was at Gaines Mill,
in June, 1862. At Malvern Hill ne was
severely wounded. In recognition of his
ability as division commander at An
tietam, he was made Major General, and
directed a corps at fredericksburg and
Charlottesville. In June, 1868, he be-
came Commander-in-C Chief of the Army
of the Potomac, and on the 4th of July
following the North was cheered by tn
great victory of Gettysburg, in which
Meade took nearly IA 900 prisoners, and
his commission as Brigadier of the regu.
lar army was dated from that day. He
commanded the Army of the Potomac in
it's operations against Richmond in 1864,
winning from General Grant the superla.

How to Pickle Pork.

THE first essential is good sweet bar
rel-not molasses barrel, but a new
barrel, made from well-seasoned white
oak slaves without any sap in them, If
there is any sap in the slaves, the brine
will leak through and the pork will be
spoiled with rust. Good salt is another
requisite for picking pork.
When the hogs are killed and the flesh
perfectly cold mot frozen), lay the hog on
his side and cut straight down the center
of the back until the knife strikes the
bone. Then turn him on his back and
cut through the ribs close to the back
bone, SO as to meet the cut made from the
other side. Cut off the head and your
pig will be in halves; cut the leaf lard
from the ribs; cut off the shoulder and
ham; cut out all the lean meat from the
side; then cut the sides in strips about
three inches wide, cutting across from
back to belly. When you have your
sides all cut in this way, take your barrel
and cover the bottom three fourths of an
inch deep with salt; then take your pieces
of pork and set them on edge, the skin
next to the barrel, and bind them
around in the barrel, making the
circle smaller and smaller until you
have a perfect layer, and as close to-
gether as you can well press each piece
with the hand; then fill all open spaces
with salt. Then, with square ended
stick or maui, pound the pork down until
it is smooth on the top. Then cover with
salt about five eighths of an inch deep.
Then proceed with another layer as be-
fore, and so on till the barrel is filled to
within three or four inches of the top
Then make brine as strong as can be
made with salt and boiling soft water;
skim the brine and let it cool. When
cold, pour it on the meat until the barrel
is filled to within two inches of the top.
Put board, cut to fit the inside of the
barrel, on top OF the pork, and lay upon
it 'nigger head" rock weighing about
forty pounds. Keep the barrel in cool
place if you have one; if not, keep. it al
most anywhere out of the sun, and you
will have good picked pork as long as
you keep it completely covered with
brine. have never lost any pork put up
in this way, and have kept it in cellars,
on the first floor and in garrets.-Cor.

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIONS. Perhaps
no man living has won more golden opin-
ions than DR.. Walker, as the enormous
and widely increasing sale of his CALI,
FoRNIA VINEGAR BITTERs attests. We
never look into one of our exchanges but
there is panegyric of the Bitters staring
us in the face Our readers will say that
there must be reason for all this praise.
They are right The efficacy of this cell
ebrated medicine is established by evil
dence which it is impossible to doubt.
Among the thousands who have borne
testimony to it's excellence, there is not
one dissentient voice. In very many
phases of inorganic disease it seems to be
unfailing. All diseases arising from a
vitiated state of the blood are surely Grad
icated by it. It is an effectual remedy
for pulmonary complaints, bilious, re-
mittent and intermittent fevers, rheuma-
tism and dyspepsia. 1t purges the body
of all unhealthy humors, gives tone to
the system, and where the vital powers
are enfeebled, restores their functions to
vigorous and healthy action. ALI this it
does the more efectually because it's oper-
alton is not interfered with by the pres
ence of alcohol. The VINEGAR Buffers
is perfectly free from any such hurtful in
gredient. We have always believed that
plants contain the true remedies for dis
ease, and all the remedies necessary. DIR.
Walker is on the line of real progress, and
we hope that he will not rest on his pres
emit discoveries.

THE relative profit is much great. r
from small flock than large one. Tie
grain farmer, no matter how few his
acres, can make money by keeping few
sheep. There is always room for them
somewhere, and they turn and consume
into money food that otherwise would
waste. But he must be careful not to
overstock. To illustrate, suppose the
farmer cultivates only eighty acres, rails
ing grain chiefly. He keeps few cows
and the necessary teams. One fifth of
his farm is in pasture, one fifth meadow;
one planted, one spring grain, and one
wheat. He thinks he has as much stock
as ne can proftably' but, if he puts
on one sheep to every five acres, he will
mo their products clear gain. In the
spring, early, they can run on the sod

each acre will not hurt the land, yet they
Will live well. After that they can go
into the pasture, and will clean after the
COWS to advantage. A run on the stub
bles after harvest will not be felt, where
each sheep has two acres, and in the fall
there is plenty of feed. Through the
winter they can be kept well on what the
otner stock would not consume, with the
addition of little grain. Probably the
most profitable are some of the coarser

MIR: JAMES HURNARD writes to us: 'At

An English paper tells story of the
unreformed civil service times, when it
was customary in England to make col
onels and commodores and excisemen out
OF babes in their cradles. The lady of
a cabinet minister stood godmother to an
infant, and it was naturally supposed that
her husband would confer some sort of
an appointment, civil, military, or naval,
upon the youngster. A day or two be-
fore the christening, however, she called
upon the child's mother and expressed
her regret that Lord had nothing left
at his disposal of any importance; and
said that the only thing he could do for
his godson was to put his name on the
pension-list as a saper0aana1ate5 general
postna07. The thing was actually done,
and the godson drew the pension as
superannuated postman for more than
eighty years! ri .,l'
