PICKLING BEEF.

An English correspondent of the
Country Gentleman gives the two fol-
lowing modes of picking beef, as prae-
tised in England:
ITO four gallons OF water add as
much salt as will bear the weight OF an
egg; when the salt is Dissolved, add one
ounce of sal pruRella and three ounces
of saltpeter and half a pound of far
sugar. Boil and skim well. Strain of
and when cold, pnt in the beef, mutt
ton, pork, tongue, etc, taking care TO
cover the meat well with the pickle.
In nine or ten days it will be tit for
use, but may remain a month without
being too salt.
1.-The other is to mix well together
the following ingredients: Six pounds
of salt. two pounds of brown sugar,
quarter of a pound of saltpeter, and
half a pound of allspice. With these
proportions 1 have fully spiced two
rounds of beef and two aitch-bones.
For a larger quantity of meat add IN
exact proportions. Rub the meat well
an over each day for week; after this,
each alternate day. Turning 1t IN the
pickle every few days will be sufficient
for tbe rest of the time ii remains IN
it This splicing gives the outside OF
the meat a dark color, but flavors 1t ex-
celently. All meat should be STEPPED
in cold water for a night previous to
cooking it. Meat so spiced will hang
well for a week two, if not required
| immediate use.

The Cotton Movement.

The Nelc York Financial Chronicle has
returns from the Southern ports, showing
the receipts exports, etc, of cotton for the
week ending Jan. 2. 1t appears that the
total receipts for the seven days have reach
ed 1925 bales against 214,726 bales last
week, 195,925 bales the previous week, and
172,910 bales three weeks since, malingthe
total receipts since the first Of September,
1873, 1905, $40 bales against /, Ta}4, 200 bales
for the same period of 1872, showing an
increase since Sept. l, 1873, of 17j,721
bales. The experts for the week ending
same date reach total of 9S,517 bales, of
which 57,42I bales were TO Great Britain,
20,2l5 bales to France, and 2O,S51 bales to
the rest of the continent, while the stocks as
made up are now 766,391 bales. Com
pared with the corresponding week of last
season, there is an increase in the exports
this week of 27,514 bales, while the stocks
are PSI, 4l9 bales more than they were at
this time year ago. We make the fol-
lowing extracts from the CkTOaicie:
BOMBAY SHIPMENTS.-AccOrdi to our
cable dispatch received to-day, there have
been 1000 bales shipped from Bombay to
Great Britain the past week and 1900 bales
to the continent, while the receipts at Bonn
bay during the same time have been 5000
bales. Compared with last year there is an
increase of 1000 bales this year in the
weeks shipments from Bombay to Europe
and that the total movement since Jan.
shows an increase in shipments of $1,000
bales compared with the corresponding
period of 1872.

SIMPLICITY AND WOMEN.
A Few Reflections of the Cares and
Trials Of Civilization.
Ernm tie London Eiraro.


Women and simplicity are antipodal.
The estate Of nature" would be intol-
cradle to a woman even in Eden. Ma
ture, when unacOrned, adorns the most"
is essentially a masculine ideal. A
world without dress would, to a woman,
be dullness an sscelsis. "God made the
country, and man made the town."
says the same poet. Perhaps. But
will wager it WIS woman who put man
up to it, in that quiet, insidiously indi-
rect way which escapes all but the most
artistic observation. Paradise was
very pretty garden, no doubt; a very
charming place for morning walk or
a moonlight ramble. But there were
no shops nearl There lies the open
secret of that apple business. Thanks
to that little transaction, We have under
feminine inspiration passed from Para
disc to the parks. That is to say, from
nature ito art, from simplicity
to sixteen guinea bonnets. From
the aesthetic, economical, emotional, or
other purely masculine points of view,
the TRANSACTION. may appear a dubious
boon. Oh, yes, women abhor simplici-
ty; it is to them an incubus and hor-
ror. Simplicity is "slow." What
worse could be said against it? One
fold, indeed! Look at the ''maniplied"
mysteries of modern walking costume;
consider the Gorgon-lock- plus GorSan-
knot-like intricacies of a fashionable
head-tning. "God made the hair, and
woman elaborated the chignon." This
new reading is more pertinent than the
old, and plumbs deeper into the germl-
nal mystery of human art. Do you
know the esotaric significance of the
LAGOON? l do. The labyrinthine
windings Of those huge snakes typify
| the serpentine complexities of civiliza-
ton, stranglirg the sweet simplicity of
nature. And it was woman, you know,
who came to terms with the great Origi-
nal serpent of all.
Simplicity, according to my simple
way of looking at it, means simply
never having two things when one will
suffice. Consider how that would sam
pity Ihiugs IN general. That rule,
rigidly applied, would sweep away nine
tenths of the complications of civiliza-
ton, the puzzles of society and the per-
plexifes of daily life, 1t would alSo
utterly abolish at least ninety nine
hundredths Of all the works and ways
Of womankiAd. Fancy never having to
pay for a nea bonnet until the old one
was past servicei Imagination refuses
TO grasp the giant conception, to realize
the ast6unding revolution, Saperfuity
is the sex's paradise: simplicity would
eject her therefrom more surely than
! ever pomophagy did from the primeval
tome ..'a, ,-1'"Hss" is the real womanly
diabolus-not the pleasant, sweet
spoken Parsonage who inspired her

WISTERING STOCK.

When the snow is deep enough TO
haul wood. rails and manureO on OK sleds,
with more falling, 1t is a good time 70
write about wintering farm stock We
have In our mind a small farmer near
Nashville who is trying to winter four
COWS with no shelter save a low plank
fence on the street, on no more food
than two of the four ought to have
from day to day. The strong proba-
biity is that one or more of these
starved animals, standing out IN all
cold rains, SHOWS and winds, will die
before the end of March; but if none
should cease to eat for the benefit of
others, the four Will give less milk next
summer than any two Of them, If pro-
perly Yintered. There is an important
principle involved in the keeping Of all
domesticated animals, which it Is hard
to make some farmers understand. An
animal that gains nothing in weight,
like a stunted pig, colt or calf, con-
sumes fodder, hay. shucks or grain
nevertheless. All such feedingis near
ly waste Of labor and Of the sUbstan-
ces consumed. You may save some
manure, but you make no meat. On
the contrary, thousands of cattle,
horses, sheep, and hogs come
out in the spring with less
flesh than they had in the fall.
They have burnt good muscle and fat
to keep their vitals warm through three
or four winter months. If the heart,
lungs, stomach and brain Of an animal
become cold from lack of food, expos
IRE, or both combined, the animal soon
dies. When it comes to warming
animal life in cold weather that lasts IN
the United States from four to eight
months, and where beasts are worth
over a thousand million dollars, the
question Of economy is a matter OF
br&at moment. a warm stable with a
rood soft bed Of leaves, straw or some
other dry porous substance to keep out
cold and give comfort, is not consumed
like food. A man go provides
warm house with FIST ci2ss k2ds and
bedding for his family and warm ba4l4s
sheds and stables for all his stock, re
duces the expense of wintering bod
much below the average Of the com
munity. Needless consumption is al
enormous tax on human industry; Blu
how shall we introduce a general re
form? Bad habits are stronger thai
any love of life in man. There are
however. a few who will not only sc
that comfort Is better than discOmfOrt
but work earnestly and successfully t

A sTAGHOUND FOLLOWING A BUCK
tn SEA
From the Tallahassee Floridian

During the recent camp hunt on st.
James Island by some of our citizens,
an incident occurred which is perhaps
without parallel in theannals of hunt
ing. and deserves to be recorded. A
large buck, closely pursued by the ia
nous staghound, Old Ring, belonging
to Mr.. Hopkins, took water, and headed
right cut to sea; the dog without hesi-
tation boldly followed him in hisvOyage
over the dark and treacherous waves.
They were watched with intense interest
bv hunters until each was a mere speck
upon the surface of the sea, and until
they were finally and totally lost to
view. After some timer when it was
supposed that both dog and deer had
found a watery and perhaps a bloody
grave, in mortal combat, or been de-
voured by sharks, a small object was
discovered, which proved to be old Ring
returning from his long swim, much
exhausted, but reaching the shOre in
safety. But to the greater surprise OF
the spectators, after time the deer
also appeared in sight, making right
for shore, on reaching which he was
shot down by one Of the hunters.

From the Schelecttiy Evening STAR
In reading the remarks and criticism
on Gen. Grants appointments and con-
demnation of his Cabinet aud of Con-
gress in the leading Republican jour-
mails. one is led to ask what is the mat
te.? Quite a large number of the most
influential Republican papers ialk nov
inst as the Neic YorL; Tribune, Spring
field Republican,, Chicago Tribune, and
Cincinnati Commercial did previous to
lie Ci2cinrati Convention: In fact,
many OF the strongest Administration
papers can now be called Liberal Re
publican" or Independent. During
the Presidential campaign they defead-
ed Gen. Grant and his Administration
feom the attacks of the Liberals, y
and declared that the accusations made
by the Nelv York Tribune and supported

false; but now they reaso,.. ,''''e SIM

lions OF bad faith, reckless manage
