Mr. Wendell said be 1t once eompre-

ater little further conversation request.
cd . little time in which to make up bis
mind. and appointed later hour in the
sane day for another meeting with the

dbl. land after seeing several persons,
found that I could raise sixty thousand
ddlars; 50 when this man cane back
again. said to him, will bet you sixty
thousand dollars"
II don't want to bet sixty thousand
dsllars," vas the instantaneous reply, II
offered to bet you one hundred thousand
dollars; If you do not wish to take that We
vii let the matter drop. I will bet you
that or nothing-no smaller SUM-
/. Wendell now perceived that the man
vas unquessionably in earnest. and that
ifhe took the bet,. the result would be
one Of two things: johnson would DO &C.
Quilted or be would vim hundred .hous.
aud dollars. He requested further time,
which vas accorded. with the unders,a nd D..
ing, however, that at the next interview
the money was to be up or the negotiation
was to be at IN end.
Nr. Wendell knew where and to whom
to 70 to raise money for such purpose.
no nan in the country knew beiter--and
although such . sudden demand for Sc
large q sum taxed his energies severely,
be succeeded in getting the amount to.
getler within the tine limited. The terms
Of the bet were fully complied with. and
the money was put up.

Of the money. Mr.. Wendell also said
that they had several more votes secured
to be given in favor Of acquittal. in case
they should be required to accomplish
that result; but If not needed to acquis,
then to be cast for conviction.
One of the most curious things about
che whole transaction was the manner ia
which the money was paid over after the
acquittal had taken place. 1t was no,

SAILING MEAT-Nessler considers tha
questions. what are the best proportion.
Of salt. sugar, and salipetre? and is i,
better to treat the meat with dry mixture
Of the above substances. or to dissolve The
salt and the sugar in water and apply thi,
solution? As to the 6rst point. be ucom.
mends . mixture Of 6 pounds Of common
salt. 8 ounces Of nitre. and pound Of
sugar to every 100 pounds of meat; these
figures correspond very closely to the
proportions employed for saltine neat ia
England. Az to the second question be
is in favor Of using solution instead oil
the dry mixture. because this matter ex.
tracts from the meat not Only wster. bul
also some Of the most nutritive eonssitu
ents. On the other haad. it must moi
be overlooked that sailing BY means oil
brine requires special care 10 order to in.
sure thorough contact Of all the parts oil
the meat With the salt, and also . longer
time for subsequent drying. -Diagler'.
