The Charge of Pickett's Men at Gettys-

The death of General George Z. Pickett
recalls to the st. Louis Times the following
"Reminiscences of the battle of Gettysburg

PRESERVING EGGS FOR WINTEn.-For
family use, in the cold months of the year,
when most kinds Of fowls lay few eggs, and
when the price for this desirable edible, at
retail, ranges from fifty to sixty cents Der
dozen, it is we'll to have supply on hand,
and we receive frequent inquiries as to how
eggs may be "laid down" or preserved for
this purpose. .....
Various plans are suggested or adopted,
but all modes heretofore invented have
proved more or less unsuccessful. A friend
who has practiced the following plan for
many years, informs us that he has had no
difficulty through this simple method, in
preserving eggs the year through, and con-
siders this the best.
In the summer, after the Matching time
is passed, collect from thirty to fifty dozen
Cor buy them fresh, when eggs are fifteen
to twenty-five cents per dozen), and pre-
pare liquid thus: One pint of common
salt, one pint of lime, dissolve in four gal
Ions OF boiling water; let it settle, and put
the eggs into the liquor in stone jars when
cold. Cover the eggs entirely in the liquid,
and use stone, and not soft crockeryware
jars. Thus embedded, eggs will keep for
twelve months, and come out in good
shape, though after all they will not be
equal to new laid eggs.

Value of the Improved Essex Hog.

The Essex is justly esteemed as one of
the most valuable breeds of hogs for the
South. 1t was originated by the late Lord
Western, OF EsseXshire, England, and has
since been extensively bred and dissent
mated by w. Fisher Hobbs, who had unu
sual facilities for obtaining the very best
animals, on which he has since made con.
siderable improvements. This breed In
said to have carried off very large pro.
portion of the prizes at the shows of the
justly celebrated Smithfield Club, Enc.
land. The Essex was derived from n
cross Of the native hogs of Essexshire with
the Neapolltan they closely resemble the
last named both in form and color, but
have better form and size, much more
hardness, and better constitution.
Stevens, i'll his Book of the Farm, saws
that he never saw breed of hogs equal to
the Essex in the disposition to tatten.-
They are exceedingly gentle, indisposed to
travel lar, could attain, if kept long, great
weight, and are so compact in form, and
small OF bone and otfal, that they invaria-
by yield greater weight of pork than was
Judged before being slaughtered and
more delicious ham was never cured tban
they afford.
The Essex is black. But the color is
not skin deep, it being entirely confined to
the halr and outer skin. When dressed
ny the usual mode Of scalding and scrap
ing the skin is white. The meat is of su-
Perlor quality, the fat being firm and the
Lean tender, fine grained, and rich in Aayor.
ihey also, like the Berkshircs, are quite
Tree IRON cutaneous diseases, their skins
being usually smooth and healthy, howev-
er much they are exposed to the sun and
mud. And as compared with the Suffolk,
they attain greater weight at year old
but they resemble the Suffolk in every
thing except color, are more hardy, and
yield larger proportion of meat.-Ruml

Stanley's Explorations i'm Africa.

New YORK, Nov. 10.
The Herald publishes this morning a
Geographic synopsis of letters received in
London from Stanley. He says DR.. Liv-
ingstone was wrong in reporting that
the Victoria Nyanza consisted of five
lakes. Spoke correctly states that Vic
toria Nyanza is one lake, but Speke's two
islands are peninsulas. The River Shi-
meeyu is the principal feeder of the lake
and EXTREMIST source of the Nile yet dis
covered.
Stanley had several conflicts with slave
dealers on the lake. On one occasion he
was attacked by 100 natives, armed with
spears, in thirteen canoes, who were re-
pulsed after severe fight. Three natives
were killed.
He arrived at the Utesal hunting camp
at Nisayura April 10, where the King di-
rected extraordinary festivities and dis
plays. One feature was naval review on
the lake of eighty-fOur canoes, manned by
$500 men. On the second day, in addi-
ton to the naval maneuvers, there were
races in which eighty-four canoes were
engaged, each propelled by thirty oarsmen,
the King leading the fleet personally, in
the presence of a great crowd of on lockers,
including the 800 wives of the King. On
the third day there was bird shooting and
target practice by 5000 troops, and on the
fourth day he returned to Mtesas, the
capital. This King has 2 100000 subjects.
He is Mussulman, has great intelligence,
and his dominion affords the best augury
for the possible civilization of Africa.

sessed during the year was $3.50, DOS; in
crease over the previous year, 1914, 4S5.
OTHER STATISTICS.
The quantity of distilled spirits in ware
houses July 1, 1874, was 17,755, 1863 gallons;
distilled spirits produced during the year,
GO, $50, 42o gallons; total, 1856, 1874; total
Withdrawn, $3.50, al, leaving in bond June
80, 1875, Is, 1867 ,25S. Spirits removed from
warehouse for export for the year ending
June 80, 1874, 1860, LOG gallons, while only
$50, 413 gallons were thus removed during the
last fiscal year.
The quantity of tobacco removed for ex-
portatien in bond without paying the taxes,
9, i79,315 pounds, decrease of 1,621, oil
pounds.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS.
The Commissioner says the force of rev.
enue agents is adequate and recommends
the passage of law authorizing fifteen
more. He thinks further consolidation of
collection districts can be made without af-
fecting the revenue, and that the system of
gauging wholesale liquor-dealers' packages
by United States Gaugers can be dispensed
with and simple system Of checks by
stamps substituted, which will prevent over
issue.
He recommends making the violation of
the law relating to friction matches crimi-
nal offense, punishable by fine and imprison-
ment. He also desires that internal revenue
agents be empowered to demand and obtain
the inspection of books and papers of distill-
ers, rectitiers, brewers, wholesale liquor-deal-
ers and manufacturers of tobacco, SNUFF and
cigars.
The Commissioner estimates the collections
of the present fiscal year from all sources of
internal revenue at $122, 100000.

A NEW white pigment is demanded by
the cxigencies of modern industry. The
paint should be as good coverer as white
lead, not easily discolored by the chemical
action of gases and, when mixed with oil,
should work easily under the brush. The
white paints in general use are white lead,
sulphate of baryta, Spanish white and
zinc white. The latter does not become
discolored under the action of sulphurated
gases and sulphur vapors, not because
sulphur gases and vapOrs do not form sui
phides of zinc, but because the sulphide
of zinc which is formed is, unlike other
sulphides, destitute of color. OF course,
in addition to its desired advantages in the
points above named, an essential quality
of such pigment must be cheapness.-

AN important French industry is the
manufacture of human hair into various
articles of use and ornament, these finding
a market in almost all parts of the world.
In England young women who have
choice and abundant tresseS are often
compelled by poverty to part with them,
for the sake of the money TO the hair
workers, but in France it is regular sys-
tenn. The hair merchants in Paris send
agents in the spring to the country dis
tricts to purchase all such hair; these
agents frequent the fairs and markets,
having with them plentiful stock of
handkerchiefs, muslins, ribbons, ETC.,
which they give in exchange for the hair.
So sensitive barometer is commerce OF
slight changes in the value of exchange
able goods that the agents know the hair
of particular district to be worth a few
sous more per pound than that of dis
trict thirty or forty miles away-a fact
which naturalists would be long in find
ing out. 1t is estimated that some hum
dreds of thousands of pounds of hair are
annually obtained inthis way. The agents
send the hair to their employers, by whom
it is dressed and sorted and sold to the
hair-workers in the chief towns.-N. Z.

June 80, 1874, were S102, ga, TAG; for the year
ending June 80, 1875, $11O, 545, 154. The in
crease during the last fiscal year is owing in
part to the increase of the duties laid by the
act of March 5, 1875, upon distilled spirits,
manufactured tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and
in part to taxes collected under the laws re-
pealed, extraordinary efforts having been put
forth TO collect delinquent taxes due from
