How Cook a Virginia Ham.

A good friend Of ours, whose writings
are always interesting, whether he dis
courses upon politics or culinary mat
tcrs or the proper formulas for making
eggnog, or mint julips, under the sig
nature of ''AIedicus," " tells us chow to
cook q ham,
lie says: IN. Zetelle, who was the
acknowledged prince Of cooks, used 10
say that ham of bacon ought to be
boiled half an hour for every pound of
its weight. As an old medical man
and housekeeper for many years in
the country, am decidedly of the con-
viction that the Monsieur was correct.
1t is bad enough to see western
ham fall into the hands Of a careless or
hopelessly-ignorant cook but when afine
old Virginia ham is thus sacrificed it is
enough to make the master OF the
house boil with rage.
Despite the celebrated porkopoliseS
of the West, the Virginia ham stands
pre-eminent for flavor. There is moth
ing that surpasses it.
Down in our peanut country the
opinion is prevalent that this delicious
flavor is acquired by the hog roofing
in the fields from which the
peanut crop has been but lately har-
vested and where still remain many
nuts and tender roots, and it is incon-
testable that the ham of the peanut Sec
tion Of Virginia is held in very high es-
teen by cpicurcs.
But the hams of other sections of
Virginia are also valued highly. Those
people have no peanut fields in which
to put their hogs to root, but they have
receipts for curing hams which have
been handed down from father TO son,
and from mother 10 daughter, for many
generations, and they truly believe that
il is these which make their hams so
welcome TO the palate and so famous
the country over
Virginia ham comes from q porker
who has had woods aud fields to wan
der in, and is, truth TO say, an aristo
cratic land owner rather than penned-
up, slop-fed, low-born hog. lit is pos
siplc for Il hoy to be Il gentleman, that
is what the Virginia hog is. Certain
il is that his ham is always welcome
in good society, and is often to be seen
in lhe presence of bright men and pret-
~ women.
'Medicus" refrains from any such
observations as we have INDUCED in.
He simply argues in favor of Ietelles
method of cooking ham, and earnest.
~ insists that the man or woman "who
furnishes his or her patrons with half
cooked ham ought to be heavily fined,
for it operates as poison TO the sys-
tenn" Hence he agrees with Zetelle
"that u ham of bacon ought to be boil
ed half an hour for every pound of its
weight"
Since to Virginia is now denied the
privilege of furnishing Presidents of
the United States, We must hold with a
more tenacious grip than ever to our
han business. And it is the Dispdtch'$
province not only to laud Virginia ham,
but to send out receipt to cook it SO
that it may be presented to the house
hold with its delicious flavor unim-
paired. The first thing to do is to buy
or beg your ham and the next thing is
10 cook it Observation-Disclosures Dis

On motion of Councilman Catron the

parties obstructing the public streets to
remove same at once or suffer prosecu-
ton.
Councilman Bartlett moved that the
question of naming streets not already
named and cost off erecting signs giving

referred to special committee. This
was adopted and the president named
COuHCllludu DdrIleIU, runway duu SdtIou
