King Caucus is at last dethroned in Tam
many Hall. The first of the Conventions of
that organization (the list of delegates to
which is elsewhere printed) meets this after
noon as it probably never met before. 1t has
no ticket ready made for it, and no one dele
CATION seems to know whom another means
to nominate and vote for. This is a reforma-
ton in Tammany which we had never hoped
for; it is thorough disintegratiOn, not disrup-
ton, and conspiracy in any one interest is
rendered impossible. 1t is proposed that after
the nominations are in motion shall be made
to appoint Committee of Conference to con-
suit with other Reform Associations, including
the Bar Association, Committee of Seventy,
Municipal and Taxpayers and Workingmen's
Associations, as well as the Liberal Republic
cans, for the selection of a Judiciary ticket to
embrace men of the greatest ability, integrity
and popularity, and of irreproachable charac-
ter Only such candidates can hope, this year,
to win on any ticket of any party.

The address of the Hon. VIM. p. Schell-late
candidate of the Pennsylvania Labor Re-
formers-tO his constituents, is capital pre-
sentiment of the whole case. He is in
favor of the election of Mr.. Buckalew
because that gentleman is honest and
incorruptible; is friend of measures
designed to protect labor against the en-
croachments of capital, and because his eleva-
ton to the gubenatorial chair is required for
the publication of the State Government. AS
against Hartranft, Mr.. Buckalew is immeas-
urably the superior candidate. Pennsylvania
journals estimate the strength of the Labor
Reform party, now secured to the Liberals, as
high as 1900 votes. Our correspondence in
dictates that the Reformers themselves claim
even larger figure. AT any rate, it is enough
to carry dismay into the Administration camp
which shows signs Of general stampede.

Marshal Carrow did in North Carolina will be
attemnted elsewhere. This man is known AZ
one of the most INSCRIPTIONS and willing

did by dint of threats, promises, and brides to

emf of The TRIBUNE, whose letter from Beau
fort County, N. c., we publish on our fourth
page gives many curious and characteristic
instances of the working of his system. More
proofs of fraud are coming out in other parts
of the State, and it is plain that a legislative
investigation will produce ample material for
the establishment Of charge of the grosseSt
swindling on the part of the Grant managers.
The effort of the Grant Managers to throw
out the names of Liberal Republicans and
Tammany Democrats from the list of Super
visOrs, and to give place to Apollo Hall men
who support Grant, thus practically giving
Grant both Supervisors at each poll,
was one of the means relied upon TO carry
'New-York for Grant, The victory gained
by the Liberals through the decision of Judge
Woodruff was a most substantial one, the full
fruits of which we can reap only by providing
true, faithful, and vigilant men for the vari-
GUS posts. We publish the list of Supervisors
thus far appointed 1t will be seen that
while there are many blanks in the Liberal
lists for which selections are yet to be made,
the active Grant men have nearly filed their
quota with men devoted to the interests of
the Renominationists, and resolved to leave
no stone unturned to succeed. The Liberal
lists should be closely watched and promptly
filled by trusty men.

but will tumble the fruit about needlesslv,
and injure its appearance and keeping quail
ity.
Fruit will keep better, however, if pro-
tCcted from the air, and from the constant
changes of temperature which currents OF
air impart. Wrapping the apples separately
in paper, aud simply placing them on the
shelf, we have found to protect them from
decay much larger number by actual
count remaining sound than if subjected to
ordinary exposure. Apples will keep longer
in barrels than in bins for this reason, and
the only objection to barreling is that they
are excluded from sight and examination,
and sometimes become badly rotted before
their condition is discovered. Drawers
would be better if not so expensive
We keep winter pears in shallow boxes,
which may be shut closely with well-tttiug
lids They are thus excluded from air and
Ii ht, and are easily accessible for examina-
tion. A better way, probably. would be to
5lve close lids to the shallow bins or
shelves, so that they might be easily exam
ined at any time with the same facility as
winter apples. Large and fine specimens
of Clairgeau, Duchesse dAn9ouleme, or
Anou, may be wrapped i'll soft paper, in
addition to the covering. They need occa-
sional examination as ripening approaches.
With some varieties, much of their excel
lencc depends on careful ripening; with
others, less care is necessary.
1t is important for the good keeping of
both apples and pears, that they be Kept till
nearly winter in Il cool outbuiding, and

reference to leaving them in open bins or

room Is separated from the rest of the Gel

ventilating windows which may be turned

means of thermometers. This is the most
convenient mode for ordinary use, when
apples are wanted for daily supply. About
unce a month, or oftener if necessary. they
are picked over and the "specked" or de-
cayed ones removed, taking care to disturb
them as little rs possible. 1t is better if

How to Pickle Pork.

The first essential is good sweet barrel
not a mOlasses barrel but Il new barrel,
made from wcll-seasoned white oak slaves
without any sap in them. If there is any
sap il the staves the brine will leak through
and the pork will be spoiled with rust.
Good salt is another requisite for picking
pork Salt known in the West as ''ground
alum" or the salt made at Syracuse, New
York, is good.
When The hogs are killed and the flesh
perfectly cold mot frozen), lay the hog on
his side and cut straight down the centre of
the back until the knife strikes the bone.
Then turn him on his back and cnt through
the rids close to the backbone so rs to
meet the cut made from the other side. Cat
OIL 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
ard 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 tho barrel, and bind them around in the
barrel, making the circle smaller and small
er until V0u have perfect layer, and As
close together as you can we'll press each
piece with the hand then fill all open spaces
with salt. Then, with Il square ended stick
or maui pound the pork do Nn until it is
smooth on the top. Then cover with salt
about Iiye-eighths Of an inch deep. Then
proceed with another layer "a before, 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
ami boiling soft water skim the brine and
lat Z l,n1 :
until the barrel is filled to within two inches
Of the top. Put board, cut to TT the in
side OF the barrel, on top of the pork, and
lay upon it & ''nie9cr head" rock weighing
about forty pounds. Keep the barrel in a
cool place If you have one; if not, keep it
almost anywhere out Of the sun, and You
viii have good picked pork as long as you
keep it completely covered with the brine.
l have never lost any pork put up in this
way and have kept it in cellars, on the

and as that convention will give utterance to
what will at least everywhere be accepted as
the voice Of the Democracy Of Illinois IN refer
ence to the present extraordinary political
situation, the importance OF the convention
will be such as to call for full representation
from every county in the state. La Sale county
particularly, as the second county in the state
and virtually democratic county, should
hava a full representation in that body of Its
ablest and wisest heads. in this view, steps
are now in progress for the call of a conven-
ton of the Democracy OF this county to sp-
point delegates to attend the Democratic State
Convention at Springfield. The convention
will probably be held on Tuesday,th 18th of
June, the towns holding their caucuses on the
preceding Saturday, June 10th. The official
call will be published in our next.
