JOHN TO JONATHAN.

Said John To Jonathan, "My son,
I'm rather sppreheni i've
That by your conduct you are bent
on taking the offennve;
You know What my opinions are,
Have often heard them stated,
Aud stili l find that my commands
Are daily violated.
"Now, Johnathan, this will not do
Ill have you understand, sr,
That where Britannia rules the wave
John Bull ia in command, sir
And II within my family
La rebel son or daughter,
III shut them in prison cell
And give them bread and water {"
Said Jonathan unto himself,
Ills time that operations
Began that will protect me from
such bullying relations.
This little isle can't furnish room
For half of my descendants
And Jonathan had better now
Declare his indedendenoe.
The hon Ia noble beast,
And am much itB debtor.
And yet, on some accounts, think
like the eagle better.
For when ii sweeps along the sky,
On wide extended pinions.
"a seems 10 bear the soul along
To hberty's dominions."
And 80 this slip of British oak
Was speedily transplanted;
And in America obtained
The latitude 1t wanted.
While John, desiring 10 express
His strong disapprobation,
Puts in one comprehensive word
HIS wrathful condemnation.

The Yield Of Gold and silver.

,A.In thi-eountry the yield of gold in
1876 was about the same as in 1874, and
equal to the average of the last ten years,
while there was an increase in silver of
nearly SO, 500, 900, the exact totals being
$26, 349, 476 of gold and $54, $780, 61 of
silver, making the aggregate $50, SS9, 037.
1t is estimated that the silver mines will
largely increase their production this
year, and the total yield of gold and sill
yer in 1876 will be $90,000,000 There
seems to be no prospect of materially in
creasing the production of gold in this
country. Portland Oregon CONNER

How TO Cure Bacon.
from the Live Srcrl: Journal. I

= from the Live Sro-l: Journal
Mr.. EDITOR Within the next two
months The people of Mississippi will
slaughter more hogs than they have
done for many years We all desire
to have good home-cured bacon. We
now have the hogs and let us have
the bacon neat. We have had our
meat houses so far from our homes
that we c0Gid not attend to the curing
OF our meat, until great many have
almost forgotten how to save good
bacon; hence, will give my plan to
your many friends, of making good
home cured bacon BE sure To get
the hogs good and fat, and kill in a
good spell o: weather, and when the
hogs are in good thriving condition.
After the hogs are all cut up, each
piece (sides eXcepted) should be ex-
posed TO the open cold night air and
a house top is an excellent place In
the morning early the meat should
be taken dowa and every piece nicely
trimmed with q short knife, saving all
bits for lard so that there will be no
waste Prepare the salt end saltpetre.
Pot one bushel of salt to every eight
hundred pounds Of meat. Salt down
in large boxes or hog.hcajs, and
put on each ham and shoulder one
teaspoonful of salt-petrc as you pack
the meat down. Put The meat down
carefully aud well packed, using all
the jOuls to keep level aud close. Let
the meat stay in salt two weeks, then
take up and re-salt and re-pack, using
no more salt-petrc. At tie end of
two more weeks take up the meat and
wash the sal. off the joints then
s"ald in boiling lye aud put up for
for few hours TO dry; then take corn
meal and mix with ground lack pep
per, say ! ID. pepper ] hushel of meal.
Before putting on the meal, take a
swob and put moiasses all over the
raw or flesh sides Of the. meat, and
then put on plenty of meal, thus mix
ed, and lay up with the skin down,
ior nFe days Keep good smoke, ana
you will have bacon "that is bacon"
The salt-petre makes the meat dry
faster, iirmer and more attractive
when cooked and placed upon the
table. The Iye destroys all unpleas-
ant odors. The molasses helps to
save the meat, and keeps the meal up
Oil the meat, while the pepper is a
poison to the fly and its eggs, bcsides
giving a nice favor to tie meat.
thus saved more than 500 pieces
of meat in one winter without The loss
of piece, aud some of my hogs
weighed as follows: 81, 4S5, 40,
436, 4l6, Al, 4l0, &c. Now, those
who may follow these directions will
hardly regret it.
