peace maker in the great, debate on the
army bill. and from the fact that Senator
d. d. is whole party by himself his
effort was looked forward to with some
curiosity. But he most ludicrously came
to Cricf. and his speech only counted as
one more on the Democratic side Of the
debate. A telegyaphic.report says:
He made only one point which was wor-
thy OF notice, and his colleague, General
Logan. proceeded Immediately TO take not
ice of H. General Logan asked If he I'M
dcrStood his colleague Alright IN saying that
the laws are now obeyed in all parts OF the
country. When Mr. Davis nodded assent
lOokerS-ou expected 20 hear some alluSion
10 the recent election troubles In the South,
which would doubtless have provoked hot
words rom Southern Senators. senator
Logan produced instead copy OF the
annual report of the Commissioner Of In
tcrual Revenue. from which he read table
showing that within the year the number
OF seizures Of Illicit di>tillerieS among the
I+.oD0.OO0 of the population of the South
was l.25S. while among the 25.cOo,ocO OF
the North they numbered only -. The
number of persons arrested in the south
for violation OF internal revenue laws was

number OF officers killed while striving 70
execute the National laws was >, while the
number Of wounded WAS Il, and all Of these
casualties had occurred in the south.

whose benefit he had been working. The
honorable senator Squirmcd uueasily while
senator Logan repeated and summarized

A SIMPLE SMOKE HOUSE.

but very effective smoking arrangement
for al kinds Of meats, especially hams,
shoulders, and bacon. The smoking Is
effected in a very thorough manner and IN
a short time. The writer had for his
breakfast some ham which was smoked
in This way in SIX hours The arrange
meut can be made with very little trouble,
and Is sure 20 work every time
The device consists Of a barrel Of any
suitable size: an ordinary -four or apple
barrel viii smoke four OF fve moderate
sized hams or shoulders Both top and
bottom are removed and a movable cover
provided for the Top; this may be Of
boards, or an old oilc,oth or tight blanket
VIII answer. \ short trench is dug, IN
which Is laid q length of stove pipe, "a
larger excavation Is then made, IN which
a pan of burning cobS or chips can be
placed: this Is covered by a tightly fitting
board. One end OF the pipe enters this
excavation; over The other end the barrel
j. placed, the earth banked zap around
the bottom of the barrel and over the
pipe, 20 keep all tight.
The meat may be- suspended from a
stick laid across the top Of the barrel, and
then all covered tight with any old cloths
that may be at hand On placing the
cobs or chips in the place provided, the
smoke passes through the pipe into the
barrel. filling it with q dense, cool smoke
Should the support Of the meat break,
