Canned Meats.

A leading Portland merchant has called
our attention to the danger in exposing
canned meats to the air during the hot
weather and endorses the following sugges-
tions:
In warm weather more especially but really at
all times, it is advisable after opening can of
corned beef or other canned meat to remove the
one meal not to replace the meat in the can but to
place it in the ice box, or at least take as much
care Of 1t as OF fresh or cooked butcher meat
So long as the can is air-tight, it matters not
whether it be left for years at the poles or the
tropics; but, after the contents are once exposed
TO the air they must not be treated with any less
care than would be bestowed on ordinary fresh or
cooked meat. Failure to observe these simple
precautions is not infrequently the cause of sick
ness, which prejudice uses as an argument against
solely to the carelessness of the consumer.

come which were not known in the
later months and years when war
had become the business of the ma
ton and he proved himself
thoroughly equal to the situation.
Some of the things to be set down to
the just credit due the other two war
governors, Governors Frederick Hol-
brook and John Gregory Smith, have
been recited by the ST. Adams Mes
senger, and Brattleboro Reforneer.
Our three war governors were all
true patriots and worthy men, and
able and energetic executives. Each
was entitled to especial praise. There
is no need to raise the question which
was the war governor, nor any call
for invidious comparisons between
them. Each did his duty, unselfshly,
ably, periodically; and each deserves
a high need of honor. 1t is not
necessary for the friends of either to
depreciate the services of any other,
for moment, and all will stand side
by side, in the gratitude and regard
of the people of Vermont, as the war
governors of our Green Mountain
commonwealth.

yet printed-and he thought it desir-
able to have them printed before for
mally acting on them. Mr.. Glad
stone expressed acquiescence with this
view, and the sitting of the House
was suspended until the amendment
should be received.
The amendments as passed by the
Lords having finally reached the
House, the sitting was resumed. 1t
was decided to make the amendments
the subject of discussion last Mon
day, and an adjournment was taken
to that date.
The promptness with which the
Queen accepted the designations of
the Glasdtone Ministry is subject
of general comment. She telegraph
ed her acceptance instead of sending
it by royal courier, as is usual in
cases of Importance.
The London Neaos says that the
statement that Mr.. Gladstone intends
to retire from the leadership of the
Liberals is unauthorized. The Earl
of Aberdeen has offered Mr.. Glad
stone the use of his residence near
London for the remainder of the SEES

RETURNING HOME.

NHOIttpotteT, rune |H, 1000.
Mr.. Editor.-I have had the pleas
ure of reading some of your views in
the matter of immigration, you have
perhaps all the testimony you wish
to confirm and establish you, but
hearing to-day of four men with
their families who have spent a year
in Dakota, and have now returned
to Rutland comfy, (coveting their
old home,) l cannot refrain from
giving you their united statements.
| understand they jointly offer to
make up purse of $50 to be given
to every head of family who has
spent one winter in Dakota, and will
make oath that he would not return
to Vermont, if he could, with the
same pecuniary means, he had when
he left. This purse making, shall not
cease 50 long as men can be found to
canvass Dakota for affidavit, with
transportation free, by the Chicago
& Northwestern r. r. and by land
owners. These men say that the
earth closets in Vermont are very
nice, but when it comes to an entire
earth house, it is not as accommodate
ing as one might suppose, except
when there is more than wind enough
outside, to permit wooden structure
to remain IN statue quo.
1 hear that the Chicago & North
western R. R. are now transporting
emigrants free from Chicago to Da-
kota. Is there any "walk into any
parlor" about this? Can a man fly
back without being squeezed? You
may command my services in keeping
all men where they can have the
most of the comforts of life.
If the Waterman on the tower
cries, ''All is we'll !" it is after the
colonel has commanded to guard the
city. You have the trumpet, it is
for you to command "Guards Post p
and to see that the people are not
led out of the city by any strategem
or decoy. When contemplate the
passage OF Vermonters free into Da-
kota, l am reminded of the interview
of Artemus Ward and the free-love
women, when they claimed admission
free to his show of Moral wax flo.
ures, because they were free-loves il

honesty gave them his best terms
which were that they could pay an(

THE CHOLERA I'm SPAIN

There were five new cases of chol-
era at Madrid Monday and one death.
In the city of Valencia there were
two fresh cases, but no death. In
the province of Valencia, outside of
the city, there were 49 new cases,
and 81 deaths. The city of Muria
reports 40 new cases and seven
deaths, while the other parts of the
province of Muria return II fresh
cases and four deaths. The govern
ment cholera commission and many
native and foreign doctors declare
that the cholera is Asiatic and of a
virulent and rapid character, attack
ing all classes of society. In the
province of Castellon de la Plana,
Monday were 80 cases of cholera and
60 deaths. Thirty thousand people
have fed from Mnrcia. In the city of
Murcia alone Monday, according to
the latest returns, there were GA
fresh cases of cholera and 80 deaths.
In the province of Murcia, outside
of the city, there were so cases of
cholera and 10 deaths. The Official
Gazette confirms the statement that
cholera is raging in the province of
Valencia, Castellon de la Plana and
Murcia, and IN the city of Madrid.
The opposition newspapers, on the
contrary, deny that cholera exists in
Madrid, and say that all testimony
regarding the suspicious cases is
sufficient 10 give warrant for the as
sertion that they are cases of cholera
