serbs will preserve it. 1t should nO'
be used, however, for holding be
mutton, or even hams and shoulders,
which require a different pickle than
that required for clear pork.
The pork barrel should stand in
the coolest part of the cellar. 1t
should rest on a support that there
is no danger of water coming in
contact with it. A false head, with
holes bored through it, should be
provided for preventing the pork
from coming to the surface. A
stone should be placed on this. If
there is old brine in the barrel
when you wish to pack pork, it
should be boiled and the impurities
skinned off when it may be used
again. The hogs after dressing,
should hang out in cool place at
least twelve hours before the meat
is packed 1t would be best if they
were split in two. The softer parts
of the belly, the trimming from the
hams and shoulders, had better be
tried out for lard or used for saus-
age. If the ribs are entirely remOv-
ed, the meat can be cut IN slices
much better. The less lean meat
there is put into the barrel the less
blood there will be to color the brine
and render it impure.
The clear sides should be cut into
strips of nearly uniform width. 1t
is a good plan to use a straight
edged measure in cutting them
Detached pieces of meat coming to
the sursace of the brine, becomes
rancid and thus injuries the whole
contents of the barrel. The bottom
of the barrel should always be coy
cred with salt. Then a layer of
strips should be placed the rind out
ward, the longest pieces next to the
barrel. Use the shorter strips near
the center of the course. When one
layer is formed as compactly as it
can be done by hand, add half an
inch of salt, and then continue the
successive layers of pork and salt.
Some recommend leaving pork in
clear salt for two or three days.
At the end of this time sufficient
water should be added to cover all
the pork. If all the salt on the up=
per layer is dissolved, more salt
should be added, so that the brine
shall be of full strength.

The number of land onwners in
England is growing clearly less year
after year. Little less than two
centuries ago it was about 100000.
In 1851 the Census Commissioners
of England reported the astounding
fact that in that time the number OF
land owners was 3O,3l5 persons,
Thus the whole number of England
and Wales in the private properly
of sO,S15 persons. This was IN the
spring of 1852. OF these land-own,
ers, i7,O45 were males and lS,269
were females. Twenty years later,
the number of gentlemen land-own-
ers Lad decreased to l4,l9l, and
tbe number of lady land-hold-
ors or to s,733-22, ,924 in all. The in
come of English land owners from
their lands has increased enormous
ly. The number of landowners, it
is thought, is now smaller than at
any previous period.

The Beecher controversy still gees
on in the columns Of the Mansfield
(O.) Herald. The last number of
that paper contains reply by Prof.
R. B. Raymond, of Brooklyn, to the
Rev. DR.. Fairfeld's review Of the
testimony, together with Mr.. Fair
fields answer to Raymond. In his
second communication, Mr.. Fairfield
adopts a more decisive tone than
formerly. Among other things, he
says:
Iwaited before 1 wrote one word
for Mr.. Beecher to make his own er,
plantations. had read the charges
and the evidence. They were terrif-
ic against him. / could see no yay
of escape. But l waited-waitea pa
tiently. The whole world waited
till he had given his own explana-
tions. They filled twenty columns.
[ read them-re-read them. I aaver
gave up my last hope till then. But
when I found his own explanations
full of falsehood, full of conradic-
tions and most palpable absurdit;es,
then was compelled to say, "yh9t-
ever else he may not be guilty OF, he
has most certainly stated a score of
things which he must have known to
be false. For he had every possible
means of knowing. There cculd 0e
no liability to mistake; it Was as
plain and palpable case of intention
al misrepresentation. It Is not ne
cessary to look into a mans face 30
know whether he speaks the truth OF
not. If he can assume an hoasst
look while he speaks palpabls Eslse-
hood, so much the worse Cor hi2;
this but shows the hardening Pro-
cess of years of hypocrisy. Thot
Mr.. Beecher could deliberately rake
a statement so crowded with sbsnTd-
ity is proof, fear, of that adeptness
that comes only of long practice.
You speak of the cheering proof
which you have of the support of
good men everywhere" Do not be
deluded by the numerous letters
which come to you from the dEer-
ent parts of the world. They ren-e-
sent but a small portion of the
whole. Within the last two months
or more have had personal eonver-
sation with more than half nun
dred ministers of all denominations,
lust as have chanced to meet them,
and not one Of them all expressed
belief of Mr.. Beecher's innocence.
Forty-fiye of every fifty express be
lief of his guilt; three or four do not
quite know what to believe.

Oliver ROut, Esq.

"Man is fearfully and wonderfully made"
both in body and mind
Oliver Rout is a poor negro boy OF our
town; Is one Of the anatomical wonders whom
medical men would probably call a n,oastIosits
and those Of his acquaintance who'e hearts
are not mellowed by contemplation Of the I'M
fortunate whom God has seen ht TO create are
instances Of the marvellous in the matter of
taste.
Poor Oh. la, been the subject Of thought
less ridicule by many of our good citizens,
who, after moments reflection, we feel sure
would not dcsignedly wound the sensibili,ies
Of even an unfortunate and illiierate negro.
Repeated assurances that his body will be a
rare contribution to dissecling room have in-
spired OF. with the belief that a Doctor would
murder him, under favorable circumstances,
that he might get possession Of his body, and
the unfortunate creatures dread Of the profess
lion induces him to submit to painful and
damaging exposures that he may keep secre,
from the Doctors his accustomed lodgings at
night, despite assurances from kind-hearted
parties that /, is all jest, and he stands in no
greater danger Of being murdered than those
whom he regards his enemies.
During the festival at the Colored Baptist
Church last week, some thoughtless parties
caused the rumor to reach Ol.'s cars that some
Doctors, from a neighboring town, were here
in quest Of him, bent on having his body, and
the agonizing fright which il occasoned him,
together With exposure in hiding at night,
have resulted in the boys serious illness. Oh.
should be an object Of hind solicitude, and let
every assurance be one Of comfort rather than
ridicule and jesling threats about dissection

Conversational Notes.

Congress re-assembled on Monday
last after an adjournment during the
holidays, and entered upon the sixth
week of the Session. During the six
weeks the two houses have been at work
only fourteen days, Gnd have done little
else but squable over the salary bill, the
Bankrupt Law aud the Kellogg and
Casey usurpation in Louisiana. If the
Salary Bill ever reaches a vote, the sala'
ries will be reduced to the figures previ-
Gus to the increase Of March, 1873.
The Senate has not, and the general
impression is. will not, confirm the APP
pointment Of Williams as Chief Justice.
The judiciary Committee will report adj
versely, and Senators Morton, Edmunds
and Carpenter will lead in the opposition
to him ON the Republican side. lie will
get no Democratic votes.
1t is reported that majority of the
Committee of Ways and Means favor
the system of currency based upon the
three per cent. convertible bonds, as adj
vocated by the West.
The Supplemental Civil Rights bill is
attracting the attention of the House,
and exciting great interest with the AT
rican members. Speeches have been
made BY several aromatics on the bill.
Mr.. Durham, Of this District, got the
floor last Monday, and protested against
the bill as an attack on States rights
and States sovereignty; as calculated TO
embitter the Anglo-Saxon race against
the African race; as calculated to de-
stroy the whole common school system
of the South as retarding the education
of the blacks, and rs likely to provoke a
war of races that would result in the
determination of the black race. Mr..
Beck gave notice of an amendment, pro-
yiding that the law shall not be so con-
strued as to require hotel keepers to put
whites and blacks into the same rooms
or beds, or to feed them at the same Ia
bic, or to require that whites and blacks
shall be put into the same rooms and
classes at school, or in the same boxes or
seats in the theaters, or in the same
berths on steamboats, or other vessels, or
in the same lots in cemeteries.

in this public manner, his appreciation Of the
gallant conducted Midshipman lucian Young,
on the 10Th inst, in jumping overheard while
the ship was under way for the purpose of
saving from drowning james Anderson sea

little doubt that he would have persisted bnt
