HonLee Rak ed Beans,

Pick over and wash quart OF good
white beans. Soak them over night IN
cold water enough 10 stand two inches
on top of the beans. In the morning
nut them IN fresh cold water in kettle
on the back of the stove and let them
narboil. | drain them out of that water
when they are cooked enough TOR the
skins to break by blowing them. After
draining put them in bean pot, one OF
the Old fashioned New England kird is
the best, but if you haven't one and
can't procure one, use tall crock
about eight inches high and SIX incheo
across the opening. Such one Is al
most as good as small necked bean-pot.
After the beans are in the pot put piece
of salt pork as large as the palm OF your
hand or piece of butter the same size,
and an even teaspoonful of salt on top of
them. Cover with boiling water and
bake in a moderately heated oven from
breakfast time one morning throughout
the day and evening, and leave them
standing in the oven all night and they
are all ready to heat by the breakfast
fire. They must be looked after
once in two or three hours until the
middle of the sfsernoon and hot water
mt on them often enough to keep them
moist. The last few hours they will
take care of themselves, and in the
morning will be as delicious dish OF
baked beans as you will ever want to
eat, If necessity requires a very hot
fire for other purposes, put tin plate
on top of the crock, nearly covering it.
Sometimes, with the best OF care they
will scorch little on top. Take the
burnt ones of and the rest are sill right

Those Big Corlfss Engines Not so
Huge.

THOSE Biz NOEhIbs Lh8bhoo wv
Huge.
To the Editor Of the Enquier.
While visiting the Centennial E1posl
ton last week examined the great Cor
liss engiAe that gives motion 10 huBdred..
of machines rotating in that depot OF Po'
metal The crowd around the PLATFORM
looking up at the huge levers bobbing up
and down, were delighted beyond meas
ure at the huge proportions OF the en-
gines and their smooth working. One
cadaverous jswed scientist, l presume he
10 a scientist, for he wore scratch wig
and pair of gold-bowed spectacles, open
ed his Unbelievable and proclaimed the
engines the largest in the world. Upon
my venturipg to differ with him in opin.
Ion, he tartly replied that ne derived his
information from Professor Thompson,
or johnson, of Hartford, AID that he
knew all about such matters. Now, to
show that was right, will give you the
principal dimensions of the Corliss en-
gines, and of the Shields big engine al
The Front street Pumping-house of our
Water Works, and by comparing them
it will be seen that our engine is more
than double as large as both OF the Cor
liss engines:
Corliss Engines: Cylinders, 2; length
of stroke, 10 feet; diameter of cylinders,
40 inches.
Shields engine: Cylinder, 1; length OF
stroke, II feet; diameter of cylinder, lO0
inches.
The Corlisses at the Centennial are
what is known as the "walking-beam"
engine, with vertical cylinders, and con-
nected through these beams to cranks AT
right angles, as a single shaft. The gal
lows frames for the walking beams, the
connecting rods, &C., all being in sight,
make the engines appear to the uninits-
ted much bigger than they really are.
My twelve. year-old boy says that the
Shields engine at the Water- Works is
three times as strong as both OF the Cen
tennial Corlisses. Is the boy right?
CIR ANGER.
The deuslon that the CorlIss engines
on exhibition at the Centennial are the
largest in the world is one that seems to
be shared IN by many. A few facts will
convince them of their error. The high
pressure engines of the Mississippi steam
er Robert L. Lee are preciselyas large as
the famous Corliss. The low-pressure en-
gines of the Grand Republic are much
bigger. The engine of the Long Island
Sound steamer Metropolis was II feet In
stroke and l08 inches in diameter. There
are dozen steamboats, plying from New
York whose engines are double the slze
of the Centennial Corliss-Editor En-
gutrer.

In one Of the sulphur mines neal
Steamboat Springs, says the Gold Hill
News, a number OF Cinnamon are EN-.
ployed. The mine is situated at the
foot of a hill, about a mile from
Steamboat. Two perpendicular cuts
are made into the hill so that they can
converge at a given point. These are
made for ventilation and are Kept open
TO permit the heat to escape. At the
end OF these cuts they have a face
twenty feet high. The sulphur be-
gins within seven feet of the top and
continues in rich layers all the way
down, intermingled with sand and
other formations. At this point the
heat is very great. The other day
while n Of these Cinnamon struck
his pick through into a assure, q
column Of blue flame shot up to the
distance of thirty feet, filling the at
moSphere with q most villalnous
stencil and made it so terribly hot thai

it. Dropping his pick, the Moon

hell, rushed from the place followed

SILVER.

The opponents of silver as legal ten
der coequal with gold are harping
upon the diminished value of silver
in the worlds market as a substantial
reason for their opposition. tits only,
however, since the recent able EXPOSE
ton of Senator Jones of the whole
problem of coin exchange that this
idea has been prominently advanced.
1t had not at the period of his great
speech attained sufficient dignity to de.
mand specific notice from him. Heart
lily indorslng, as we do, the views of
our Senator on the silver question, we
submit for the consideration of those
who oppose the unlimited r~einonetizs-
ton of silver the fact that silver has
not fallen as much as gold has risen.
Silver has, it is true, to a certain extent
specifically fallen. and its fall is owing
to its decentralization by a large por-
ton of the commercial world. But
the ten per cent decline in silver is
hicdouIou III SViuS dhu SihSo w
struction of silver as a measure OF
value by Germany in 1871, and by our
own act Of 1873, gold has been hoarded
to an extent unprecedented in the his
tory OF finance. The boarding Of gold
produces a scarcity of gold, consequent
ly an appreciation Of its value, and as a
necessary result a corresponding de-
probation in the value of all other
commodities. All merchandise has
fallen, silver perhaps to a greater ex-
tent than others. But its fall is facti-
tious. 1t is not owing to increased
production, but in spite of diminished
production. 1t is the result solely of
hostile legislation; and those legis-
lators who attribute its decline to in.
trinsic values and seek to palliate their
own wrong by renewed unfavorable
legislation, are only emulating the ex-
ample of the wolf in the fable who
slaughtered the lamb crossing the
stream below him for muddying the
water whereof he drank. Silver has
been legislated down. To legislate it
lower will certainly not remedy the
evil of its decline, and will most as
suredly paralyze a great and growing
industry of our people.

AN p TREASURY.

The Carson Appeal says that the
State Treasury has paid out all the gold
coin in its vaults, and now the State
Treasurer writes on the backs of all.the
warrants presented to him for pay
ment: "Not paid for want of funds"
The General Fund of the State il ex-
hausted, and even the Governor of the
State cannot draw his salary. The
Judges of the Supreme Court ars alone
excepted from this general rule of ego
without your pay" The Constitution
has so provided for them that their sal.
aries must be paid in any event. This
provision was inserted so that the ca
Founders of our laws should never be
compelled to lose time In hawking
their warrants about among capitalists
in a search after purchasers. So we
have again approached the time when
the credit of the State is at a discount.
The supplies for our State Prison and
for our Orphans Home must now be
bought on a credit which will perhaps
extend until the time for the collection
OF the annual State taxes, and that will
be in October aud November next. The
reason for all this is owing to the fact
that the managers of the Consolidated
Virginia mine utterly refuse to pay the
bullion tax properly assessed against
them by law. The managers OF this
mine have paid the bullion tax on the
net proceeds of their mine, but none
since the quarter ending September 80,
1875. At the end of the quarter ending
December 81, 1875, they refused to pay
their tax, and at the present time they
are delinquent for two quarters. An
action at law will be brought against
them, and also tor the twenty-five per
cent. delinquency.
