The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1875-01-01

THE renowned Gerret Smith died in
Now York after n brief illness on Mon
day last, in the 18th year of his age.
He had gone to that city from his
home in the northern part of New
York State on the day before Christ
mas, to spend the holidays Mr
Smith was a man OF marked ability
and kindly impulses, and had acquired
p national reputation from having been
one of the earliest and most active and
consistent advocates Of the anti-sla-
very movement. He died very veal
thy, being the owner among other pro-
pcrtv of about q million acres of land
IL, the northern and central portions
of New York, some Of which is very
rsluable-much Of it, however, being
useless for agricultural purposes.

We direct the attention Of our read
ers to the address of the New Orleans
" Committee Of Seventy" which will
be found in another column. 1t thor
oughly exposes the villainies of the
Returning Board and the usurpations
Of Kellogg's State government. No
unprejudiced man can read it and say
that Grantism in Louisiana ia not 8
cheat and a fraud. But the dav Of re-
tribution will surely come, when Kel-
lOgg. Casey, Packard, Wells, and the
whole Infamous crew, will have full and
ample justice meted out to them, for
although "the mills of the gods grind
slow, they grind exceeding fine"

TREsE are words Of misdono cnnisd fron

THESE are words OF wisdom copied from
tho Philadelphia Inquirer of Tuesday;
''Neither the President nor Congress can
possibly right the wrong done by the TO
Tuning board but no usurpation can be
successful in this country if j:ot sustained
by outside force, and even this fixed up
Legislature may be left to settle disputed
questions as to its. own membership if no
Federal bayoncts cYershad ow it. Should
the people recognize it's authority, that
fact would be conclusive against the charge
ef usurpation, but if its authority can only
be sustained by the army of the United
States, then we can expect, at the most
only an acquiesesnse under protest, and
not a lasting peace. In other words, since
there can be no stable government upon
eur American principles without the cor =
sent of the governed, the only way of
avoiding anarchy in Louisiana is to allow
the peopis an untrammeled expression of
their will. We have tried the other plan
and it has not succeeded. The Kellogg
government, put in power by an Illegal or
der from drunken federal judge, and kept
in power by federal troops, has been worse
than failure, and every fresh interfer-
esce has but intensified the popular dis
content. Wnat the country now demands
is that Louisiana shall have chance to
govern herself; and it will be we'll for the
authorities at Washington, at both ends
of the avenue, to listen to this dsaaand.''

The Rev. Felix c. swembereh. Ro

The Rev. Felix G. Swembergh. a Ro-
man Catholic pastor in Reno county, Kan
sas, writes more hopefully of that State
than de most of those who give accounts
OF its condition. He says that the des.i-
tuition is not so much to be attributed to
the grasshopper plague in itself as to the
dependent condition of tho people when the
blight came upon them. The border coun-
ties have mostly been settled within two
years, and the pioneers, bringing little or
nothing to their new hsmes. relied on the
first crop for subsistence. When this fail
ed they became a burden upon the older
residents. Swembereh, hswever, docs not
see good reason for downright discour-
aGement. lie says that the grasshoppers
had not visited the State in seven years
before, and there is not probability but
that the crops will be abundant and un>
1nolested next season. The people gener-
ally are not Respondent, but are melted
to now energy by their trials.

FRBDERICK A. CoNKLING. of New

publican party in that State He is a
man of admitted ability and brother
OF Roscoe Conkling, the magnificent,
one Of the United States Senators from
New I Ork, but was fashioned in diff
ferent mould. His name having been
mentioned in connectian with the next
Senator from that State, he sssipns
the following as his reasons for leav-
ing the Grant party. His language is
as vigorous as it is true:
when have been asked why left til a

haa been that regard the present r.tiona
administration AS having utterly forsaken
Republican principles and led the entire
organization away from its original aud
! legitimate objects. 1t has driven fiom its
councils the ablest and purcst of the foun-
ders of the Republican party, and has svs-
tematically catered for the support Of the

publican) relieved its mind in this
wise: The United States Senate
should spare the country the sight of
Senator Carpenter again in the chair

that honorable station. Developments

! have just finished banking up my
house in preparation for winter. 1t
has cost me at least four dollars. 1t
will cost another dollar to remove it
i'll the spring, to say nothing of the
unavoidable litter attending, and all
simply because l have not frost
proof wall under my house. Such a
wall is very easily made, thus:
In laying up the main wall of
stone, at point below where the
frost can reach, jog outward of
four inches is made; upon the inner
edge Of this jog, brick is laid up
cdgewise in morter, reaching to the
floor, securing Il dead-air space of two
inches in the wall; thus making it
proof against frost entering through
in the least.
BY this simple and not expensive
way of building cellar walls, or the
wall under our houses, the annual
expense of banking and clearing
away, and the nuisance Of litter nee
essarily attending the doing Of it
are avoided Cor. Germauto,cm TEL

Fast Oxen.

a new agricultural idea has dawn
ed in regard to oxen. 1t has been
discovered in this age of railways
that oxen are too slow, and that they
can be taught to go fast. Sin India,
the oldest country in the world, on
en- take the place of horses, and they
make as good time Therefore,
why not train them to travel fast in
our own beloved land? The way
to do this is to put on the whip, hur-
ry them up, and make them GO
When an OK gets into a corn-ticld,
and the dogs take after him, he can
gallon almost as fast as deer; and
when running away on his own ac-
count he shuffles as lively as dog.
But it will be necessary to abandon
the yoke, which is clumsy at best,
and put on harness, as is done in
North Carolina; and, beside, the rat
Ting Of the yoke, and the ,jingling of
the draw-chain would not sound well
as one drives up to church on Sun
day morning at a round trot. Fur
Their, to guide them with precision
while going at fast gait to town,
"whoa, haw and gee" must be drop
ped, and bits be used; then one can
make his buggy wheel Craze another
buggy wheel, and no harm will be
done. Next year agricultural socie-
ties should offer premiums for fast
oxen, and there could be no greater
attraction than OK races; for, as the
exhibition will be purely agricultu-
raj, no immortality can attach. Breed
ing oxen for speed few years, we
would be likely to have different
race of cows. BY all means.

Curing Meats.

To PICKLE HAMs.-To every 100
pounds of hams or shoulders trimmed
into good shape, take 8 pounds of
salt, 2 ounces Of saltpetre, 2 ounces
OF saleratus, an ounce of Cayenne
pepper, and q pounds of light brown
sugar, or | quart of good clean mo-
lasses. If additional seasoning is
wished, add / pound of ground cloves;
and in the south, substitute / pound
OF black pepper in place of the Cay
enne, rs it is more distasteful to in
sects. If the hams are to be cured
in dry pickle, mix these ingrcdiences
thoroughly in tub, and rub the
meat well once every other day les
pecia'ly on the flesh sides and into
the ends of the shanks), until the
pickle has all been taken up by the
meat. If a brine pickle is preferred,
pack the hams closely as possible,
rubbing them with salt at the time.
Then put the above ingredients into
water enough to dissolve them, boil
ana skim, then set away to cool, and
pour over the meat, adding warm
mot hot) water enough to completely
cover the meat, which must be held
down by a stone. In four to six
weeks take them out, drain and
smoke, or use without, as preferred.
To Com BEEF.-Pack the beef,
cut into pieces weighing not over six
or eight pounds, into a cask, using
two pounds of salt to 100 pounds of
beef. In from two to four days the
meat will be nearly covered with a
brine composed principally of the
blood which was in the meat, and
which was drawn out by the action
of the dry salt. Then take out the
beet, rinse it well to remove all the
blood, and repack, using four pounds
OF salt to the 100 pounds of beef.
Then take for each 100 pounds of
meat, three pounds of salt, two
ounces of saltpetre, two ounces of
cloves, one ounce of Cayenne pepper
anu three pounds OF clean light sugar
or three pints of molasses. If the
beef is not from a young animal add
to the above > ounces of saleratus.
Dissolve the ingredients in water,
boil and skim, then cool and pour
over the meat, adding water enough
to cover all well. A stone should be
laid on the meat to keep it beneath
the brine. The "drying" beef and
tongues must be taken out in four
weeks, washed and hung up to dry.
Beef cured in this way will keep in
to hot weather. If the brine is drawn
oft in May and new put on, with or
pounds of salt to the 100 pounds,
adding also ! pound of black pepper,
the beef can be kept all through hot
weather, though it will not be so ten
Ter after the second brine is put on.

Houow.Horn.


time for cattle to get that fabulous
disease called hollow-horn. Ex
posed to cold rains and winds, with
little to eat and no comfortable place
to sleep, is enough to give cattle any
kind of a disease. But how our an
cestors and our contemporaries ever
discovered that there was such dis
ease as hollow-horn Is hard to &C.
count for. In our earlier days we
have seen the horns bored, and il
they were hollow it was pronounced
a serious case of hollow-horn; when
in fact all horns are or should be hol-
low on healthy and thrifty animals.
1t is their natural condition.
Cattle may and do have catarrh of
the head, but not of the horns. And
the owners Of some cattle would have
catarrh if they had no better fare, day
or night, than shivering beside some
three-board fence, and never think of
calling it hollow-horn. Cattle may
have diseases of the horns, but it is
seldom. But the best way to cure
the disease popularity called the hol-
low-horn, is to give the animal plenty
of good healthy food and dry and
warm quarters, with pure water; and
if the medicine is rubbed down with
a curry-comb, so much the sooner
will the patient recover.
1t is too late day to talk about
the loss of the cud and the hollow
horn as diseases. Diseases may
cause loss of appetite for the cud, and
disease i'll the head may cause appar-
ent disease in the horns, causing cold
ness and other symptoms attributed
to hollow-horn. There are veins and
arteries in the horn, and some DIS
eases of the head, or even of the ami
NAL, may cause congestion of the
horns, as well as the limbs. Any
thing that will cause 4 morbid action
of the blood would tend to GOODNESS
of the horns, which has so long been
adduced as evidence of hollow-horn.
We may in these ideas run contrary
to the opinions that hoary error has
inculcated for years, but many of the
decisions of the past are fading away.

To MAKE Coon BREAD.-Take
one quart of buttermilk; put over the
fire until it is boiling; pour it over
one hcaping saucer of flour in Il gal
Ion crock; let it cool; put in one cup
of good yeast; let it raise in warm
place well covered up five or six
hours. When you set your sponge
that is, when you put in your yeast
put lump of alum, pounded, in Il
pint of milk-warm water; when the
sponge is light get your flour ready
and put in the light sponge and the
alum water; the lump of alum should
be the size of the end of the middle
finger for five loaves; mix well until
stiff; now work and knead and pound
with your knuckles till it is well
worked; the more it is worked the
whittier will be the bread. Set that
to rise again; when it is up give it
another working over; set to rise
again; this time it will come up in
an hour. Then make tinto loayes;
raise again and bake in slow oven.
(Too many people burn their bread
up). One good hour and you can
eat the bread with relish, for it will
be good and sweet and not dry out
easy, and ought to be as white as
snow.-C0r. Cincinnati Times.

American Apples.

american apples Of the past sea-
sons growth are now selling at mod
crate rates throughout England and
Ireland. The highly colored and
well favored Baldwin is the common
est kind as yet. As usual they come
in barrels, without any kind of pack
ing material, and come, as u rule, in
excellent condition. That apples can
he sent several thousand miles, and
then be sold as chcaply as home

Extensive Apple Dealer.


A Chicago paper gives statement
OF the great apple dealer, Mr. Hen
ming, of that place, who for the past
SIX or seven years has averaged in
his purchases and shipments u hun
drcd thousand barrels each season.
On one day the present autumn, his
receipts from all stations for single
day were 50 full car loads, or over
10000 barrels. On common occa-
sions, he RENTS from $4,000 to
$4,000 per day from his Office for
purchases. His shipments in an en-
tire season would ill II train of ears
five miles long, and to pick the ap-
pies would keep about one thousand
men busily employed for the space of
one month.
