Our next objective point was BARRIERS
shop where a mans ears we're being shaw
ed. Our escort asked for the instru-
ment, which was refused. Then what a
Babel ensued. The other occupants of
the shop all talked at once, evidently to
explain the policeman's position. The re-
suit was that the instrument quickly found
its way to his hands, Illustrating the whole
some respect for law entertained by this
people 1t proved to be a little sharp
pointed knife, which is inserted for-an al
most incredible distance in the ear. They
have also little knife somewhat similar
for cleaning their tongues. 1t seems very
strange that this peculiar people, so filthy
as most of them are in their homes, should
be so fastidious in these respects. Truly
they "pay tithes of mint and cummin and
neglect the weightier matters. We
were obliged to leave the man in the
BARRIERS chair to the tender mercies OF the
operator, although feeling some anxiety as
to the result. The shades of night were
falling, and so, leaving the joss house for
a separate visit, We turned our steps
homeward, with hearts saddened and fill
ed with pity for people leading their own
separate idolatrous existence in the midst
of Christian people. AND we wondered
if the true solution Of the "Chinese prob
lem were not the civilization and Chris
tianiEation Of those already among US, with
the hope that the little leaven may leaven
the whole lump.

A new railway, known as the Baltimore,
Cincinnati and Western Central, is to be
constructed from Baltimore to Cincinnati,
following line as nearly direct as possi-
bic midway between the Baltimore aud
Ohio and Chesapeake aud Ohio Roads,
nearly parallel with the former, and with
a route which, it is claimed, is far superior
to either in cost of construction, grades
and local resources. The new line has
enlisted the aid of some of the richest men
and ablest railroad managers of New York,
Cincinnati and other cities they have
been thoroughly convinced that it will
prove a profitable enterprise. The project
was originally started under the name of
the Baltimore, Cincinnati and Western,
but in December, 1880, charters were
taken out in Maryland, West Virginia
and Ohio under the present name. Since
that date the work of organization, the
final location of the line and the perfect
ing of the financial plan have been push
ed vigorously, and now almost all the de-
tails preparatory to active work are per-
fected.

growing complaint in this country that
black walnut is getting vary scarce and
furniture manufacturers are talking of
substituting cherry and other woods for it.
Here are some picture frames made of
paper and eolorcd like walnut, and are so
perfect that no one could detect them with
out cutting them. The paper makes a
much harder and better piece of furniture
than wood ITSELF A bedstead made of
paper looks beautiful, and is everlasting.
1t is made in the same manner as the car
wheels, only they are made out of long
strips of paper instead of paper rings.
Another very valuable article which can
be made out of paper is cooking or heat
ing stove. These paper stoves are anneal-
ed, and it is impossible to burn them out,
aud they are much cheaper than iron"
"You can do almost anything with pa

"All but eat it, said Mr. Ross, with an
exclamation of surprise, "why | have eaten
it, and liked it very much. | took large
amount of it prepared like mush, and ate
it in soup aud found it very palatable, L

when l state that building just ike it
could be erected out of paper, only it would
be much more durable. The printing
press, cases, type, and all the fixtures of
the office could be made out Of paper, and
would be much cheaper than the ordinary
ones, as well as more durable. Another
thing which can be made out Of paper is
a complete steam engine, which would do
all the duties of metal one and last long

And plucky little Garnet, with a CO.
quettish glance from under her jet-black
lashes, said:
"I will. That is, with pretty hcsi-
tating voice, 'if you take me and aunties S
potatoes to market with Mr.. Denver's $

1t is needless to say that he did as she
desired, and late in November, when the
air was chill and keen, and the fakes Of
snow fell to the ground and covered it
with a mantle of white, Robert Lincoln
presented Mrs. barley with deed of the

his city home, where, as his wife, she
reigus quite royalty; and he always blesses
the day when he dug potatoes with her,
aud she took him for "Mr. Denver hired

Curing Hams.

The National Live Stock Journal as
serts that hams have a decidedly better
favor and the meat retains a more natur-
al color when nothing but plain Salts used
10 the curing. If the work of sailing is
carefully attended to, the hams, when
cured with salt alone, will be ready for
smoking at from six weeks TO two months,
according to the size of the hams Salt
petre has tendency to harden aud redden
the meat IL undoubtedly hastens the
curing process, but it does so at the ex-
pense OF the flavor.
The Industrial South, which by the way
is one of the most interesting, instructive
and valuable papers published in the whole
country, with an entire devotion Of its col
umus to one of the noblest spheres of use
falness that could engage any periodical,
has the above from the sLive Stock Jour-
nal 10 its last issue, and we just want to
say to Gen. Mcdonald and Major Lee that
We live in Smithfeld where Todd's Cele-
brated Smith6eld Hams are cured, and we
eat Todd's Hams every day nearly, and the
days We don't, we ought to, and any man
who has never eaten genuine Todd's
Smith6eld Ham "lfas certainly lost one
fourth of his life, and Mr.. TOdd's rules,
rules observed by every renowned curer of
Smith6eld Hams (and our country round
about is full ofthem) are precisely the oppo-
site of those laid down in the article alluded
to. They are, to cure the hams with as. much
saltpeter as you choose, and as little salt
as they can possibly be cured with, using
molasses and black pepper also, at differ
eut stages; to let each ham remain in salt
only as many days as the ham weighs in
pounds; 16 pound ham 10 days; Is
pound ham 10 days, and so on, and then
they are ready to be washed and hung up
to be smoked. We venture to say there
is not man in Isle of Wight county but
would say that a ham cured without salt
peter and allowed to remain in salt sac
aoeekS would not be fit to eat, it would have
lost by that time every particle of its natur-
al sweetness, destroyed by the SAT- alone,
and made as hard as a block of wood by
the time it was smoked. Our Smithfeld
Hams are sought after in France and
England, (orders coming here direct from
those eountries) and all over the United
States, paying always 20 or 25 cents per
pound for them, when other hams can be
bought for II to is cents, and the great
secret of their rich sweetness and succulence
with all of the natural juices preserved is,
the free use Of sattpeter and the spare use
Of salt. If it were not so why is it that
man who has ever once eaten of a real
Smith6eld Ham is neUer, no neUer, satisf-
ed with any other brand? We know it to
be so. Isle of Wight is the best authority
in the world for curing good hams and we
have given its general rules above

To PROTECT SHINGLE RooF FROM
FIRE.-The editor of an Eastern paper
says that wash composed oflime, salt and
fine sand, or wood ashes put on the ordi-
nary way of whitewashing, renders the
roof ffty-fold more safe against taking fire
from falling cinders, or otherwise in case
of fires in the vicinity. 1t pays the ex-
pense hundred-fold in its preserving in
fuence against the effect of the weather.
The olden and more weather-beaten the
shingles are, the more benefit derived; such
shingles are generally more or less warped,
rough and cracked. The application of
the wash, by wetting the upper surface,
restores them at once to their original or
first form, thereby closing the space be-
tween the shingles, and the lime and sand,
by filing up the cracks and spots in the
shingle ITSELF prevent its warping for years
if not forever.

REMEMRER THE room.

The Winter is coming, tie Storm King is near,
But the homes of the rich are always secure;
And he seeks an abode of less comfort and cheer,
And enters triumphant the home of the poor
The cold bitter winds may high carnival hold,
But the rich of their mines and their suppers are
sure,
And little they think of the hunger and cold
A long cruel winter infiets on the poor.
Does ever the rich man while counting his gold,
Think who sends the needy to beg at his door?
And does he forget in his pride that he's told
BY Him to remember his own chosen poor2
The Winter is coming, fierce sullen and grim,
The Forest King shrieks as he crosses the moor;
The rich are well clothed what care they for him
His presence shall only be felt by the poor
y>,oh neves be said of the brave and the free
Be God-like our destiny, or be obscure
That while q great nation of warriors were we,
our hearts were unmoved by the cries Of the poor.
Then open your purse-strings, all who can afford
Give little or much, your reward will be sure,
For he is but giving part to the Lord,
Who ofhis abundance remembers theSoor

The Empress of Germany is said to be
one of the kindest of women. She is es-
peeially fond of children and good to
them. She has appropriated large part
of her grounds at Coblentz, for poor
children's playground. She has had
swings put up, and has provided large
stock Of outdoor playthings. 1t is one
of the kind old lady's chief pleasures to
drive past the spot, and see her little sub
jects amusing themselves; and she adds to
their happiness and her own by distributing
generous supplies of cakes and sweetmeats.
