How to Cure Bacon.

A writer in the Southern Planter
says: In your July number on page
3S9, "P." asks for remedy against
shippers in bacon. l can give him
complete preventive, but it is so
cheap and simple that / have been
able to induce very few persons to
try it. l will premise by stating,
that some fifteen years since, my
friend, Mr.. James M. Ransom, of
Jefferson county, w. Va, was on a
visit at my house; it was the last of
July or first of August, and one day
whilst he was there we had taken
out our hams, which had been great
ly Injured by shippers, and were ex-
posing them to the hot sun, and were
getting out the shippers as fast as
practicable. Mr.. Ransom told us
that for a number of of years he had
protected his hams in this way:
About the first of March get good
sound bags-fertilizer bags, if washed
clean and without holes, will answer;
cut some nice sweet dry hay in the
cutting boX-timothy preferred; place
few handsful of the cut hay in the
bottom Of the bag, then put the ham
in, then pack the bag tightly with the
hay around the ham, so that it will
not touch the bag; extend the pack.
ing little about the hook end of the
ham; tie the bag and hang in a dry
place, take out and wash as needed
Since that date / have been in the
habit of putting up from forty to fiji
ty hams every year, and have seeI
10 shippers. have hams now three
years old which are sound and sweet
Mr.. Ranson's theory was, that al
though the fly might injec
the egg through the bag, it woulC
lodge in the hay; unless i
came in contact with grease it mus
perish; that the beg kept it from tn
grease of the meat, and the youn,
skipper persisted for want of food.
believe his theory is correct; 1 know
his practice is perfect.

Paupefism in the United States.

The latest Official statistics show that
the total number OF paupers in American
almshouses is 1905. COT these" says Mr..
Wines, the government compiler employed
by the census bureau, 1873, 656 are native
paupers, 81, $40 Of whom had both parents
native born, $40 had one parent native and
one parent foreign born; $3.50 had both
parents foreign born, and in 10,60S cases
the birthplace of one or both parents is I'M
known. Leaving out of view the 10,608
whose parentage is unknown in whole or
in part, there remain 26,04S cases in which
the proportion of native and foreign blood
can be estimated.
''If to the 21,5l9 native paupers born Of
native parents is added one-half of the
number with one parent foreign born, the
sum is 2I,993.5. If to the $3.50 native
paupers born of foreign parents is added
an equal amount, the sum is 4,054.5. But
to this latter figure must also be added
q, 64S foreign born paupers, which gives as
a result 81, 702.5. In other words, the foreign
population of this country contributes, d.
rectly or indirectly, in the persons of the
foreign born or of their immediate descend
ants, very nearly three-ffths of all the
paupers supported in almshouses. The
disproportion between the two elements in
respect of the burden Of pauperism is even
greater than that in respect of crime"

to talk with him on the subject

Organized protest Against Fashion.

Many protests ara heard at irregular in
tervals against the tyrannical DEGREES of
custom, but these protests are generally in
dividual and do not voice the desire of a
community. In Berlin, however, they are

reform through organization and agita-
ton. A German League for Combating

Blaine Again.

A great deal Of interest is felt here in the
talk of Blaine being Endorsed for the presi-
Dental nomination by the Pennsylvania
state convention. That such a resolution
will be adopted is expected, and if it is not
it will be because of interference orAthe
part of Blaine himself. Those who usually
are best informed as to the state of feeling
in political affairs in Pennsylvania assert
that the sentiment for Blaine in that state
is so strong that there is no
possibility of overcoming it. though it is
possible that out of consideration for his
wishes the convention might refrain from
any expression as the nomination. If Quay
is losing his hold on the state there is no
surer way for him to regain it than by APP
pearing as the champion of the Maine
statesman. In such a position he would ride
on the highest wave of popular sentiment
and get q new lease of power.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-That the Harri-
son administration is doing all in its power
10 retain the few friends it possesses and
make no enemies, at present is a well
known fact. But when officials deliberately
make use of their power to retain scamps in
office, the effort is too palpable. Sometime
ago several commissioners were appointed
to 90 to the Cheyenne district to allot In
dian lands. There were $500 of these al
lotments. Commissioners who were good
Republicans were TO receive per diem and
expenses, ana it was generally supposed
that they were conducting their
work properly. 1t has just leaked
out, however, that long time
ago the interior department was Informed
that several of the commissioners We're liv-
ing in luxury in the Cheyenne district, and
that of the 5000 allotments they had made
800 only. The appropriation has been
exhausted to the extent of two-thirds,
and just how the other 1900 allotments
viii be made is the problem for the
interior department to solve. It is said
that the interior department has been re
peated'y informed of the course pursued by
the commissioners. 1t has taken no action
for fear of creating new enemies.
