To Cure Beef for Drying.

This recipe keeps the meat moist, so
that it has none Of that toughness
dried beef mostly has when little old.
To every twenty-eight or thirty
pounds allow one tablespoonful of
saltpetre, one quart of fine salt, mixed
with molasses until the color is about
that of light brown sugar; rub the
pieces of meat with the mixture, and
when done, let all stick TO it that will.
Peek in 2 deep, narrow vessel, as a
keg or half barrel, that the pickle may
cover the meat. and let it remain for
ty-cight hours; at the end of that time
enough pickle will. be formed to nearly
cover it. Take it out aud hang it in a
suitable place for drying. Allow all
the mixture to adhere 10 the meat
that will.

press, concerning the production of an
extra yield Of grain or grass, or a

Good Effects Of the Grange in the
South

south.
1t is well known that previous to
the war, and since that time, the cot
ton States annually raised several mil
lion bales Of cotton more than they
should, to the detriment and neglect
of cereal and root crops. In these
States, the evil effects of such a course
becoming apparent to the planters,
they made many efforts to remedy the
matter; but, lacking organization, no
satisfactory results were accomplished.
Bat since the Oranges have been
largely organized in these States, an
entire change has taken place; and, i'm
stead Of growing cotton exclusively.
corn, potatoes, etc, are now produced
in quantities sufficient to supply the
entire home demand. Instead of
growing five million bales of cotton, it
was decided that it would better tor
the interests Of the planters generally
to grow only three million bales, and
then make their own corn, meat, ETC.,
instead of buying it from the north
western States. Accordingly, the
Oranges adopted regulation whereby
only two bales to the hand, instead of
four, as formerly, should be grown,
and that a sufficient quantity of eat
ables should be raised to supply the
home demand.
The result to the south has been of
most beneficial character, and will
open up the way for the establishing
of manufacturing industries through
out the entire cotton-growing districts
of tie south. w. c. w.

| The Silver King mine. located on the west

 from florence, k a private mine, and is
 therefore little known to the public, though il is probably one of the richest mines ever Io 'coVcred on this coast. The propretorS

 twelve months and have shipped in every
 month of the present year one or more par lcel> of selected ore of the value of Sl 900 to iS2, ,0JW per ton io the works on Mission street
 near Fremont, where il has been ground and
 subsequently, soli by private tender, the iowner, of the Sclby Smelling Works having been considerable purchasers. There is now on the way from the mine to san Francisco forty tons of ore which assays from Sl 20 to

 il k esima ed will return SIi 0OO. Tweniy- seven tons of this ore k on the steamer now enroIiie from For Yuma to san Francisco. There iS on the damp at the mine about 5000 tons of third class ore e~' 'ima'ed to be worth $50 per ton. Tine ore hi h 'rto extracted has bt en chiefly taken between the 43-foOt level and the surface and in both StopeS and drifts the showing of ore is magnificent. Work is now being pushed on in the l00-foot level where the show ing IS equal to the best parts of the upper levels. There are about 40 men employed on the mine. The fortunate Own- CTS of this splendid property are Reagan N Mason. The eSuperintenden is MT. Mason, brother of the owner of that name. The ledge is located for several miles north and south of the Silver King. Within the pa 't month the Silver King south M. O., which has about 1000 feet on the southern eX:en- sion, have started up under the superin- tendence of Mir. NJ. l.. Power; their shaft is now down about I5 feet, and they are in hourly anticipation of cutting the ledge.

The Heat in Arizona.

The following, which we clip from Puge, Sonnd paper is going the rounds. The wri ter has been prudent enough to withhold no, only the date, but the place from whence he writes. If there is such a place in Arizona as he describes we have been unable to learn where it Is. It is certainly not to be found within any district now inhabited unless it may be that the writer and his companions have discovered something good and are keeping it a secret from the rest of the world.
 An Eastern gentleman engaged in mining in Arizona writes as foIoSs: "Thc weather Is hot beyond relief Never, I think less than ninety degrees in tine shade, and from that up to l20 degrees.

At Alexandria, Virginia, stands the old church in which Washington used to wor- ship. It was begun in 1765, and consecra- ted in 1713. The walls are twenty-twO in- ches in thickness, and the bricks were all brought from England. Two sides of the church are so thickly covered with ivy that the shutters can scarcely be opened, aud the stems of the ivy are like young trees. An old style churchyard surrounds it on three sides, the ancient tombstones containing many quaint epitaphs and orthographical puzzles. Within, the pews are very straight and high, the one occupied by Washington being larger than the others. On one side of the pulpit is a marble tablet sacred to the memory ofGeorge Washington; ;on the other side, and exactly similar, is one sacred to the memory of R. E. Ice, both placed their since the war; The Masonic lodge room, in which Washington so many times officia- ted as Worshipful Master, situated on side street running off from King, is remem- bered by person who visited it in 1862, just before the battle of Antietam, as care fully preserved in all its antique habili- ments, including the straight backed chair and gavel used by Washington.

Putting a stop to it.

West Point Military Academy and tho Annapolis Naval Academy have for years been disyraced by the rowdy students in the upper classes shamefully maltreating the newly admitted cadets. This abuse is term ed "hazing." At the former institution some three or four years ago, two young men were made the victims of trick growing out of this paactice. in which they lost theil lives. Efforts of the professors tc stop these have thus far proved abortive There have been numerous expulsions from both the Academies, and yet the ''hazing' system goes on Of late, the fear of being subjected to the outrageous treatment of the older students has prevented many worthy and deserving boys from making application for admission into these schools, and the Faculties are being called upon to put an end to the practice, even if in so doing ii becomes necessary to close their doors and suspend their educational courses for time. X conclusion similar to this has been arriv- ed at in Annapolis. X few days ago eight cadets were expelled from the Naval Acad- emy, and the cases of several others are un- der consideration. It is only by prompt action that the evil can be remedied.
