Curing Hams and Bacon.

When killed and cool, cut up, and be-
gin Immediately to salt them. Rub the
outside of each ham with a teaspoonful
of powdered saltpeter and the inside with
a teaspoOnful of cayenne pepper. Having
mixed together two pounds of brown
sugar and salt, mix in the proportion OF
one pound and half of sugar to pint OF
salt and rub the pork well. This guam
tity of sugar and salt will be sufficient for
80 pounds of meat. Have ready some
large tubs. the bottoms sprinkled with
salt, and and lay the meat in the tubs
with the skin downward. Put plenty Of
salt between each layer of meat. After it
has lain eight days, take it out and wash
off the salt and wash the tubs. Make
pickle of soft water, equal quantities Of
salt and molasses and little saltpeter,
allowing five ounces of saltpeter to two
quarts of molasses and two quarts of salt,
which is the proportion for so pounds OF
meat. The pickle must be strong enough
to bear up an egg. Boil and skim it, and
when it is cold, pour it over the meat.
which must be turned frequently and
basted with the pickle. The hams should
remain in the pickle at least four weeks;
the bacon three weeks. They should
then be taken out and smoked. Having
washed off the pickle, before you smoke
the meat, bury it while wet in tub Of
BRAN This will form crust over it and
prevent evaporation of the juices. Let
the smoke-house be ready to receive the
meat Immediately. Take it out of the
tub after it has lain half an hour, and rub
the bran evenly over it. Then hang it up
to smoke with the small end downward.
Tongues may be cured in the above man.

Martial Law.

LEADvILLE, COL, Sept. 23.-At q
meeting of the citizens committee last
night, it was decided to request Cover
nor McIntire to declare martial law.
The citizens have lost confidence in the
sheriff, in the mayor and the Board of
Alderman and even in the civil courts.
They declare that no punishment is
dealt out to offenders, and they believ-
ed the only way to suppress the des-
perate characters is through military
courts.
DENVER, COL, Sept. 25.-At s O'Clock
this morning Governor McIntire sent q
telegram of instruction to General
Brooks at Leadville, giving that officer
full power to act as his representative
in suppressing riot in that city, and dis
trict. General Brooks specifically in
structed to permit no interference from
any source, whatever, and to act with
or without the cooperation of the local
authorities, as lie may deem wise. This
gives the military all the instructions
they need and practically places the
camp under martial law so far as is re-
CURED to compel the sheriff to do his
duty.

the negro race, in Texas, that the only
thing necessary to maintain the fusion
between the republicans, popullsts
and oddities in his State us
the requisite means, as the deal has
been made" With these assurances,
the committee has decided to supply
the requisite money, the means" re-
ferred to, for the proposed object. They
will have no trouble in raising this
money, as it will come out OF the
twenty millions already subscribed by
the bondholders, trusts, combines and
other monopolists, but that much OF 1t
will ever leave the hands to which 1t is
entrusted is very doubtful; and, If it
shall, that it will have the designed eff
feet is even more so. The white people
OF the South have been preserved SO far
by remaining politically solid, and
though the influence of gold is
potential, it can hardly be be-
ieved that many of them have be-
come so reckless of their own and their
families dearest interests, as to risk
them by uniting with the negro repub-
licans for the purpose of electing re-
publican President who spoke and
voted for the force bill.

the surface of things to believe that the

that money, and that alone, is not only
the chief, but the only thing upon
which they can base any hope OF sue
cess. Unfortunately for the good OF
the country, gold is strong prop for
their hope, but it seems hardly proba-
