How 10 Buy Meats.
From the Sanitary Monthly.

CIOu Cuc 0hniIbiy MUMMY
To the housekeeper the question how to
select meat, when she is purchasing for
table use, is apuzzling one. Good meat
should be neither Of a pale rosy or pink
color, nor of deep color, nor of deep
purple. The first denotes the diseased
condition, the last proves the animal died
natural death. Good meat has more of a
marble look, in consequence Of the branch
ilg Of the veins which surround the adj
pose cells. The fat, especially OF the inner
organs, is always firm and! suety, and never
moist while in general the fat from diseased
cattle is faby and watcry, and
more often resembling jelly or boiled
parchment. Wholesome meat will
always show itself firm and elastic to the
touch, and exhibit no dampness, while
bad meat will appear soft and moist, so
that the liquid substance runs out Of the
blood when pressed hard. Good meat
has disagreeable, cadaverous smell, and
difuses certain medicinal odor. Lastly
bad meat has popularity that it shrinks
considerably in tie boiling wholesome
meat rather smells, and doed not loose an
ounce in weight. .a .sr 3

The ready sale found for American beet

another great step in the career Of unpar-

EDITORIAL VARIETIES.

The President is reported as being in ia
yor Of the immediate resumption of specie
payments and as intending to send special
message on the subject to Congress during
the present week. He says our monetary
and commercial affairs warrant immediate
resumption. In conversation on Saturday
he said:
"He had noticed for some months a
strong tendency in the financial condition
of the country towards specie resumption,
and he had watched it closely with the
view Of suggesting measures which would
lead to this result. He added that last year
in our commercial relations with foreign
countries we had shown balance Of
trade amounting to $l2O,O0O,000
in our favor. During the present
fiscal year the country could already pre-
sent the extraordinary and fattering ex-
hibit of $l0O 100000 in our favor. AL
ready $70,ooO,00O of four-and-a-half per
cent. bonds have been placed, and the in
dications are that the $230,000 remaining
will be subscribed for as rapidly as the
bonds can be handled by the syndicate.
With trade in our favor and the rapid de-
mand for our securities, with the productive
resources Of the ountry, the President
thought that now was the timely moment
for the realization of the advantages Of the
return to specie payments, and he thought
the Fify-fourth Congress could not better
close its existence than by enactments Of
such legislation as will tend to accomplish
this result"
The New York Tribune, speaking Of
the passage Of the Compromise bill, we'll
says that "nothing since the close Of the
war has exhibited 80 clearly the strength Of
our political institutions as the attitude o1
the American people in this strange and
difficult crisis"
The Earl Of Carnarvon, in dispatch to
Lord Lytton, who represents the British
government in India, says there ane five
millions Of people in that country in a
starving condition, owing to famine.

Gen. Sheridan was right about ex-Gov.
J. Madison Wells, and yet not more than
halfright after all. He did not give Gov.
Wells half go bad a character as that
worthy has just given himself His testi-
mony given before the House Committee
was such as could only have beer given by
q rogue who feared that he might feel the
halter draw if he told too much. He was
asked by the members if he could state the
total number of votes cast in Louisiana,
and he said that he had not charged his
memory with it On other points he was
just as marvelously ignorant. He did not
know whether the action of the Returning
Board in Louisiana chad changed the re-
suit of the election" or not he did not
know whether the Returning Board "threw
out 10000 votes or not; he did not know
whether they threw out "a hundred or a
thousand votes" He, the Chairman Of
the Louisiana Returning Board, testifyinx
under oath, declares that he does not know
things which are perfectly well-known to
every intelligent newspaper reader in this
country. He presided over the throwing
out Of votes, and yet does not know how
many were thrown out. He counted out
Tilden and counted in Hayes with his own
hands,, and yet he does not know whether
'the result of the election was changed
This is bald perjury, and it is this accom-
complished rascal, who assumed to rob the
