EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY:

TBIDAY AFTERNOON October 27 QZ7~Tkt large circulation of the Stab makes it the most desirable advertising me dium in tke District. It has more readers sn the cities of Washington, Georgetown, end Alexandria, than all tkt other Wash tn^ton dailies combined. ff* Persons wanting the Evening Star in Baltimore, can procure it early every after Boon at Henry Taylor's Newspaper Depot, U8u Iron Buildings." SPOUT OP TiiA MOKHlNii FKKSt. The Intelligencer quotes Senator Shields to prove that the friends of the Nebraska bill at the West contend, not only that it is right In prinoiple, but that its operation will militate against, rather than in favor of, the extension of slavery. The Union joins issue with the Charleston Mercury upon the question of the propriety of the slave trade, and, while using up that Journal's arguments, compliments the editor lor the straightforward manlineis with which lie meets the questions involved in their con troversy. The same paper rebukes the men daoity of some of the New York city presses, as manifested by their failure to acknowledge the injustice done Mr. Belmont by their false publications, charging him with following the basking business at the Hague. The organ also contains an article from the Philadelphia Episcopal Recorder, refuting the roorback against the Kev. Clement M. Butler, late of this city, retailed by the editor of the New York Pick?Scovill?in his pretended acoount of the last hours of Mr. Calhoun. In this con nection we haTe to add merely, that for those who know this Mr. Scovill, no such contra diction of his slander was necessary. The Sentinel cautions the South against falling into the Know Nothing ranks. HENRY A. WISE. This gentleman, who is now in Washington, has caused to be published in the Richmond JEnquirer an elaborate letter from his pen on the subject of K.now Nothingism, in which he reviews the whole of our publio (national) his* tory as bearing upon religious equality under the government of the United States, and upon the naturalization question. This paper, which nearly fills a whole page of the Enquirer, is the ablest document we have ever read from ander his hand; which is saying yiuch for it, Indeed. He is utterly and uncompromisingly opposed to secret combinations to connect re ligion with politics in this country, and ar gues with great power and ability to show that they are directly in opposition to all the principles of Americanism, the Consiitution and the LawB, and that they are more dan gerous to the liberties of oar country than aught else ever attempted in connection with American politics. Whether the reader may agree or disagree with Mr. Wise, all will fird in the paper in question a most interesting, absorbing document, full of learning, sarcasm, wit, and logio. It will, probably, be publish ed and re-published in all quarters of the country. So it will shortly be within the reach of every one, and will, doubtless, be as extensively read as anything ever written in the United States. The Hew Steamer Louisiana. The Baltimore and Norfolk Steam Packet Company, of whioh Moore N. Falls is Presi dent, have just built and tried a new steam ship for their Chesapeake Bay route. She has been named the 14 Louisiana," and will be oommanded by Captain George W. Russell, long commander in the bay line, and one of the most popular and skilful officers that ever sailed out Baltimore. The new steamer mea sures over 1,100 tons, and is 275 feet long, 500 horse power, and S5 feet diameter of wheel. There are 70 Btate-roomB, with the President's room, bridal chambers, and other accommo dations for 500 sleepers Ten roomB with double bedsteads and baths, have been set apart speeially for families. The painting is white and gold. While she may be com mended as a floating palace, it is agreeable to remark what hae been often said with truth, that neither life nor limb has ever been lost in twenty years on this safe, prompt, and plea sant route on whioh the new ship is soon to take her place. It is said that on her trial trip, day before yesterday, the new steamer made IS miles per hour.

Tn Otstsb Epidemic.?There has been general complaint for some time as to the quality of oysters produced this year, and many believe from their ooadition that they are subjeot to disease. The same impression prevails also, in New York, and within a few days a number of very sudden deaths have oocurred, which are directly attributed to eating oysters. The disease thus superin duoed very elosely resembles oholera, and utterly defies medical skill. Novamwa Elbctioks?On the 7th of No vember, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, are to elect fifty four members of Congress. In New York Michigan State officers are to be chosen; Illinois a State Treasurer and county officers and Legislatures in 41 the States exeept Illi nols. The Massachusetts annual election, eleotion for eleven Congressmen, is to be the 13th. Powam.?Joe Shillington has sent us Put nam's Magarine for November. w&sHineron *?Wb asd gossip. A Sweeping Change of Front.?For ten years past the Abolitionists and Free Boilers have been making the welkin ring with their shouts for the equal rights of down-tredden humanity. They have been preaohing the immorality of the South for refusing to en franchise her negro slaves, who, according to the arguments of their ministers, lecturers, writers and stamp slang-whangers, are endowed with all the attributes of intellectual and moral manhood possessed by any class of the whites on this side of the Atlantic. If ever men were committed irrevocably to -any political axiom, the Abolitionists have been so committed to that of the justice and entire propriety of at once restoring" the colored race of the North American continent to the rights of perfect equality, social and political, with the whites, which they insist are wrong fully withheld from them. This doctrine has formed the very basis of all that the Aboli tionists have been contending for, and to achieve which they have even recommended the slaves not only to elope, but to poison, murder and burn. Suddenly, however, we find them striving to become the very head and front of the new politioal anti-Catholic and anti-foreigner organiiation. In Maine, every candidate of the Know Nothings eleot ed?Governor, member of Congress or of the Legislature, is also a Free Soiler?every one of them. So, also, in Ohio, Indiana and Penn sylvania, nearly every one chosen in the re cent elections, by the aid of the Know Nothing votes, are vehement Free Boilers,?men who, a few short weeks ago, were proclaiming that the negroes of the South should be enfran chised. They have suddenly discovered that their late cherished theory is all wrong. That all men in this country shoald not be endowed with all the privileges of citizenship. Cer tainly that the native-born of the Catholio faith, and all the foreign-born among us should be exceptions to the rule otherwise to be so general to embrace under its blessings the three millions of ignorant slaves of the South ern States. It is a poor rule which won't work both ways," the old saw" says. In this case they have manifestly stultified themselves. If they were right four months ago, they are certainly veiy wrong now. Or if right in their favorite axiom at this time, they have been most egregiously in error for ten years past. We rejoice over the fact that they have so soon endeavored to rush to the front rank of the new political organization; inasmuch as their act, in so doing, is a com plete answer to all their arguments in favor of tho enfranchisement of Ifce negro, on the ground not only of his inherent right, but of his fitness, to oe socially and politically the equal of the white in this country. Having joined in proclaiming that birth in Ireland or Germany, or beiief in the tenets of the Catholic church, if bom in the United States, should be good and sufficient cause for de priving their white fellow citiiens of political equality, they cannot hereafter, we trust, find credit with any class of those surrounding them, for sincerity in urging the propriety of sending negroes to Congress and electing them to other offices. While on this subject, we may not inap propriately add that the rise and progress of the new politioal organiiation to combine re ligion with politioa in this oountry, shows that the vast expenditure of breath, money, men dacity and brass?the oapital on whioh Abo litionism has traded?has, up to this hour, made absolutely no impression on the popular mind of the North; the principle for which ihe aforesaid new organiiation contends so suc cessfully thus far, being in dirtet and palpa ble opposition to tk*t ofshtanii-Slacerfites. The Government's Obligations to Tribee ?It will be reoollected, that in the treaties made during the last session of Con gress with the various tribes of Nebraska and Kansas Indians, clauses were introduoed, in tended to initiate the proposed new system of dealing with the aborigines, which looks to their perpetuation and improvement as the grand aim of the Government's future dealings with them, rather than to getting them out of the way ot the schemes of the rapacious whites pressing upon them, at any cost to their future, which has really formed the sum and substance of the policy of the United States towards the tribes, one and all, up very nearly to this time, though the aim of those naving the chief au thority here has, of course, been very differ erent. The clauses to which we refer not only provide for the sale of portions of their lands for their immediate benefit, as has been pro vided in many previous Indian treaties, but authorises the Government to administer the funds thus oreated as in its judgment may seem best for the future of its wards. In this latter feature lies the difference. Experience proves, that when money so obtained for the Indians is payable directly to them or their assignees in hard cash, it almost invariably operates as a powerful lever for increasing their demoralization and hastening their ex tinction. In fact, scenes always follow, in paying Indian annuities in cash, suoh as those in sea-ports have often witnessed after the paying off the crew of a man of-war, when three fourths of the men enter into a contest, as it were, to test whioh of them can soonest and rnott viciously spend the hard earnings of his long voyage. We make this comparison by way of illustrating to the comprehension of all our Atlantio-slope fellow-citizens tne gross evils of the old system. Government, in in sisting in the new treaties on being left free to jucge how the money coining to the Indians shall be expended for their benefit, have laid the foundation for the regeneration ot the remain ing tribes, if this wise provision be as wisely ad ministered, as made. There's the rub, however. If the Government, in any of its departments conneoted with Indian affairs, shall lack en ergy ot integrity of purpose in the administra tion of these new treaties, the promise te the Indian will be kept only to the ear. Unfor tunately for the purpose of those here to deal fairlywith their charge, of late years too many of their civil and military employes in the far West become bitten by the mania for specula tion raging there so universally. Those who have succumbed to that mania should be di i charged, or at least removed from their pres ent stations, or the wise precautions of the new treaties will be powerless for good results. Ne speculating public officer can be relied on to proteot the Indians in their rights, when the latter oome in oonflict with schemes of profit by the invasion of those rights, in which he is interested. We are impelled to ihe duty of thus plainly calling the attention of those composing the Government here to the neces sity of keeping their eyes wide open at this time, by the rumors of the improper specula tions of all sorts of people, including Govern ment officers, which are crowding thick and fast upon us. We know well that it is the determination of the President and his constitutional advisers that those in their em ployment, in all iiepartments of the Govern ment, shall leave offloe with as clean hands as thej had on entering the publio servioe. This praiseworthy determination on their part, however, cannot be oarried ont without the exeroise of great emphasis in the management of their thousands of employees on the fron tiers, for which, we apprehend, there was never greater need than at the present mo ment. Indictments under the Sub-Treasury Law. We understand that three indiotments under the penal olause of the Sub-Treasury law, are pending in Ohio. One against J. H. Forsyth, late collector at Maumoe; another against C. L. Russell, late colleotor at Cleveland; and the third against C. K. Smith, late Territorial Secretary of Minesota. We have every reason to believe that the indictment of the last named, Mr. Smith, arose out of a misapprehension of some portion of the instructions of the Treasury Department, whioh oertainly imagines that Mr. S. will take an early opportunity to settle his accounts with the the United States, with out compelling the enforcement of the penal olauBe of the Sub-Treasury law in his oaae.

They are said te be made from a genuine New Orleans Mint die, Btolen some years since, and bears the "O" under the ta lons of the eagle. Professor Torry, Assayer, at >.ew York, has analyzed the coin, and finds that it is made of a oasing of pure gold, filled with silver, and probably platina, to increase the weight. The weight is 60 5-10 grains, which is only four grains light, and the casing of gold weighs 30-1-10 grains. It is therefore worth $1 17 in gold, and 8 cents in silver, or 1.25 in raw material, beside the la bor of making. The maker and vender could net, therefore, realist more than $1 eaoh, which would seem too small a profit, exoept that the counterfeit is so well done that there is but little risk of deteotion. Ohio ELBcnoK.-The Cincinnati Gasette publishes official returns of the vote forjudge of the Supreme Court in forty-five oounties of Ohio, which is a little more than half the State. It shows, so far, a majority for Swan, the Whig and Anti-Nebraska oandldate, of 55,762 votes. Of these forty-five counties, all except one give majorities for Swan. The Gasette says that the entire majority in the State for the anti Nebraska ticket will be over seventy-five thousand, and the majority on the Congressional vote will be even larger. Vah Buren's Autobiography.?The Bos ton Post says: An extraot from a private let ter informs us that "Mr. Van Buren is at Vevay in Switzerland, and is earnestly at work upon his autobiography, in whioh he has already advanced some two or three hundred pages.

Why the Plan of Operations were Changed. Vioe Admiral Hamelin thus oxplaios, in a dispatch to his government, the cause of the change of plan of operations by the allied generals: It was on the 23d of September that I was enabled to inform the Marshal of the desper ate determination to whioh the Russians had come, of sinking, at the entranoe of their port of Sevastopol, five ships-of the-Iine and two frigates, only retaining in the interior of that port nine ships, two ?f them three-deckers, which, aooording to the account given by Polish saiiors who had deserted, they meant to deal with in the same way when once as sured of the oapture of Sevastopol. This news, which the Marshal could not avoid chaiacteming as deplorable in more than one point of view, tended to modify his plans of attack. In fact, it was to a oertain extent admitted that when once Fort Constan tino was taken, and the batteries raised at the northern part of the fort were carried, the fleet then bearing upon the port and destroy ing barricades, would not only finish the work of the army by attaoking the batteries of the south, bat would be able to give some assist ance to that army, whatever might be the weai her and the season in the pert of Sevas topol itself. The blocking up of the port, therefore, entirely ohanged the aspect of things', and as, besides, external works had recently been raised round Fort Constantino to render the approaches as difficult aa they were fatal, the Gonorals-in-Chief decided upon turning Sevastopol by the east and throwing them selves upon the south of the town to attack it upon that side, which was scaroely defended, or entirely undefended, after they had plaoed themselves In communication with the fleets at Balaklava, and obtained provisions and munitions.

The ladies w:io manage it have con oiudsd to make their statement public, that ail v ho are inclined to take some care of the helpless and unfortunate children. and contribute to their main tenance and education may know wherether cha> ltv can be beneficially bestowed, both as regard* ils The Protestant Orphan Asylum 01 Washing! i nurtures and educates a family of fifty or sixty orphans, at a cost of Irom ?2,o00 to $3,000 per an num. means are, $560 trom regular subscribers. aTMfroni invested legacies and donations, ^'OOtrom the Orphan Asylum of Gtorgetown for tile support ot ton of its orphans. The entire fund which may be relied on with some cermmtj for supplies is huh ?or* than $1,500. Fortuitous contributions have trom time to unie relieved the institution from the arrearage* incident to its narrow means. 8upplie* being obtAinrd in the interim on credit, when the m?aey at command was exhausted, a debt ol a ^Misand dollars thus contracted was, during the last rear, paid by collections taken up in several ol eJiurches. TD report of the Philadelphia Orphan Society, probably one of the best-managed shanties in our c-uniry, show* that, daring the last year, one hun ud twelve orphan* were supported and cduca trd. at a charge of $8,631. The Washington asylum, during the same time, maintained and educated nity children, at a cost of about fa,000. The Phila delphia institution has grown strong in resources by the liberality or benevolitni individuals and asbocia Dons; its income exceeds its expenditures. The Wash ngton insutution, which has it* foundation in the real estate given by Mrs. Marcia Van Ness and the edifice erected on it by ey^tfcriptiun, would be enabled to do all that is necessary lor the destitute orphans of the metropolis if it could add to its ihran. certain annuity of $1,500, Cannot the benevolent a?sociauon* of our city, the prosperous and charita ble among its citizens, who would build up its repu tation and their own, contribute means to establish (rtich a fund The managers appeal to all charita Me associations and such individuals *to take some measures to assure the permanent prosperity of the Insulation; or at least to make provision against the hardships to be expected from the death of the com- j in| winter. The care of the d*stitufe orphans ol the metropolis are committed to it; and yet the city government, instead of contributing to sustain to is asylum of is own poor forsaken children, taxes its 1 property to make streets, pavements, pumps, kc. i tor the public emolument. This is lo take from the food and raiment supplied by charity lo the most harmies*, helpless, hopeless of our race?little ones unable to work or beg, and yet such as, if allowed to live, become useful members of the community; mechanics who build up the city, tradesmen who contribute to us wealth and comfort, to aome of' whom we p int with pride as paisous of the institu tion and those who emerge from it. Bread, Bread, Brbad!?Tbe bakers have been compelled to raise the price of their loaves, as may b? seen by their card, owing to the action of the City Councils. Hereafter the price will be five cents per pound loaf to those who sell again, and a fip to private customers. Well, we must have something to eat, if i; is a fa?t that bread has ris."

Our stomachs Will make what's homely, savory." In this connection we give the views of a corres pondent, who communicatcs the following: A* the public mind is very naturally Interested In 'he question ol the degree of evaporation of moi* rare in the making up of bread, a/id the genera! opinion of the European bakers aa to the proportion of the water and salt in this necessary of life, it may be sausfactory to the puelic to know from the high est autnority what that proportion is. The follow ing is therefore taken from McCulloch's Commer cial Dictionary, the result of an examination beiore tbe British House of Commons. In page 242 it is rtated that one fifth of the loaf is supi*>sed to con sist of water and salt and four-fifths of flour. Go-*l flour requires more water than bad flour and old flour more than new flour." Dome Will?Careless Driving.?The little boy, sen of Mr. McDermott, on D street, who was j ran over by a baggage wagon at the corner"of Sev ern h and D streets, on Tuesday, we are gratified to learn,is doing well. In ihis case, wef understand, the driver of the wagon made every effort to save the child, and does not come under the centur? of the Intelligencer for "careless and criminal driving." Seve-al gentlemen present speak of hia humanity in tbe matter. There were two children in the Awger, one of whom escaped by the efforts of the drivw, the son of Mr. McD. unfortunately getting under the wheels of the wagon. It all arose, we bear, from the confusion of the children, occasioned by some t carts and other vehicles coming near each other at I the same point. The intelligencer's rema.rks, m censure sf the careless and criminal driving of the drivers of the city, are Just, however, in a general sense and we -hould like to gee the laws enforced against such offender*. It is almost as difficult to cross a street in Washington, owing to the faet-going I vehicles, as it is in the thickly pepnlated parts ot. New York. Two Orphan Bots.?"Mercury" thus notices^ tha case of two destitute orphans: Last evening, two sinall lads, giving th?ir names: a* John and Edward Siucox, applied at the residence of Mr. W. F. Price, Capitol Hill, for something to eat and a place for lodgings. They stated toat their father had be?d and willow ware; brushes, mau and unKiais; anif looking glasses ot every size and variety. Hi* Chi ua ornaments and tea ware are particularly beauuful, and the n> stock just received, most attractive.

A Baltimore correspondent of the National Intelli gencer writes that it is a singular fact, and one im portant to be generallf known, that the oy Mere ot our waters thus tar ibis season, have proved mark edly deleterious to health. Persons have *een taken violently ill, alter eating them (raw especially) with cramp, colic, cholera morbus, kc., ?nd in some cases death bo enmed. Crat>s,too, have uredaced similar result*. An old and experienced usoerjnaii states that iu his judgment, oysters and crabs, this season, are impure, unhealthy, possessed of some poisonous substance, and unsafe to be eaten. tiucb is not ascertained to be ihe ease with Poto-! mac or Norfblk oysters, as sold here by our oyster j dealers.

Htsolvrd, That the above sum be securely inves ted, ?nd that the annual income therefrom, being applied to the sole use and benefit of orphan chil dren, according to the wish of the liberal donor, shall be presented separately, in the anuual accounts, as coming from the Lenox fund." Speech op Ma. Borrows.?Mr. Borrows, Alder man, from the Third Ward, informs us that be did :i?t intend to apply the remarks he made on the !;oard last Monday evening, to "tavern-keepers'' in connection with'?lottery offices and gambling houses' its businesses only tolerated. He ment "tippling houses." We chevrfully make the correction to oblige the Doctor. Oppicers op the Marions.?The following young gentlemen have been chosen officers r( the Marion hides, a new company of youths just being raised in this city: Captain, Francis M.

The Drluor Panorama.?A very crowded audi tory assembled at Odd Fellows' Hall, last evening, to view this work of art, and exhibited their admi ration of the exhibition by frequent applause. The lecturer was particularly applauded for bis graphic and impressive discription of the scenes from the Bible, which he so solemnly enunciated. Some boys interrupted the lecturer in such a manner, that called for their being put out, and we wunder that they were not. The Panorama is exhibited this evening, tf>- morrow afternoon, and for the last time on Saturday night. Run on a Bank.?Quite a run has been made on Messrs. Sclden, Withers Co., for the tedemption of notes of the Trans-Alleghany Bank.

The corner stone of the new Methodist church, we are informed, will be laid on next Wednesday. The Rev. Thos. Bewail, and the Rev. Mr. Dashicl of your city, are expected to deliver addresses on the occasion, beside various other clergymen. The masonic fraternity, we presume, will also be in at .tendance. The fogs on our river and canal being unusually heavy, predisposing to billious complaints, our peo pie cannot be too careful ot themselves and cautious in regard to their diet. The use of oysters especially, and all kinds of stale vegetables, is highly injurious. Owing to imprudence in eating, a number of sudden deaths has occured during the last few days. The two which occurred in the family of Mr. Tyler, of tbe Post Office Department, yesterday and the niglu before, are attributed, we learn, to the effluvia aris ing from a sewer which passes near the house. This we think very doubtful. Mr. John Hurdle, son of Mr. Noble Hurule, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, has. from some cause unknown to his friends, during the la>t few weeks, gone entirely deranged, and has beeu taken bp his friends to the Baltimore Infirmary. Mr. William Hardy, the oldest living man in Georgetown, and, probably, in the District of Co lumbia, well known as old Father Hardy, has ex-' hinited, we are sorry to learn, during the last few weeks, very evident symptoms of a rapid declin*-. Mr. Hardy is a nauve of Ireland. He emigrated u? this country ab:ut the year 1783; landed In Balti more, where he married, and resided several years; ?from there he removed to our city, where he ha* re sided ever since. He has been a number of the Methodist Church over seventy years, and is one of the first who planted the standard of that very flour ishing denomination of Christians in the District and surrounding country. He has no record or recollec tion of the year of his birth, but from many circum stances connected with bis history, we have no doubt abo'it his being at least one hundred years old, if not more. On next Kabba'h morning, at eleven o'clock, the funeral sermon of Mr. Jabex Travers, late of your city, will be preached in our Methodist church, by Rev. Fielder Israel, pastor of Union chapel. Since our la?t report, flour and wheat have both considerably advanced in price. This meriting lise market tor the Conner is unsettled, with an upward tendency. Held nominally at ?8 75 Sal' yesterday and this morning of several thousand bushels of wheat, at $1 85 ?1 91 for white, and $1 n) ?1 85 for red. The offerings of beef cattle at Drovers's Red, during the week, have amounted to 1.200 head. 2.">0 of wh ch were sold to District butchers, at ?2 25 (a, $3 37^ on the hoof, equal to$4 50r eminent individuals.

EVENING STAR. BOBIFS COKE. From Uie elm tree's topmost bough, Hark the Robin'a early song! Telling one and all that now Merry spring-time hastes along; Welcome tidings dost thou bring, Little harbinger of spring. Robin's come! Of the winter we are weary; Weary of the frost and snow, Longing for the sunshine cherry, And the brooklet's gurgling flow Gladiy then we hear thee ?ing, The reveille of the spring. Robin's come! Ring it out o'er hill and plain, Through the garden's lonely bower*, Till the green leaves dance again, Till the air is sweet with flowers Wake the cowslips by the rill, Wake the yellow daffodill! Robin's come! Then, as thou were wont of yore, Build th/ nest and rear thy young, Close beside our cottage door, In the woodbine leaves among. Hurt or harm thou need'at not tear; Nothing rude shall venture near. Robin's come! Swinging still o'er yonder lane, Robin answers merrily! Ravished by the sweet refrain, Alice clasps her hands with glee, Calling from the open door With her soft voice o'er and O'er, Robin's come!" Curing Bacon As good bacon is an artiole of great interest in every family, we furnish the following method of oaring it, from the American Far mer, as it may prove beneficial to some of oar readers: Whenever I think the weather cold enough to prevent my pork from spoiling before the salt can penetrate to fleah. preparation is made for killing my hogs. As soon as they are ecalded, scraped and entrails taken out, they are ?ashud out and allowed to dry till my hands have taken their breakfast, then the process of cutting up and salting commences, even while the flesh is quite warm, as expe rience has taught ine that warm flesh will im bibe salt much more readily than eold. Place tiers of shelves two and a half feet apart on three sides of the stroke house, making their bottoms of strips three inches wide instead of wide plank, so that air may be admitted to the bottom as well as the sides and top of the pork. In packing down, place a row of mid dlings f^rst on the shelf, next one of shoulders, and lastly the hams on the top. This is as much as I ever put on one tier of shelves. Proceed in like manner till the whole is packed. Use five pecks of salt to the one thousand pounds, if the hogs are large, but if the hogs are small one bushel to the thousand will an swer mix equal parts of powdered saltpetre and red pepper, and apply a table-spoonful to each of the joints before the salt is put on but if the pork is small half that quantity will be sufficient. It' the weather is moderate, six weeks will be long enough for it to remain in salt; if very cold, let it stand two weeks longer. When the time arrives for hanging up, sift some clean hickory ashes, and alter having put the strings into the joinW, brush off the salt, (never wash,) and apply a coating of fresh ashes to the flesh side of each piece, and hang up carefully; the middlings need no ashes; let it hang three or four days, and dry before yoa begin to smjke. After that, make one smoke a day only for ten or twelve days. In the month of March, take down yoar joints and pat them into bags of thin cotton cloth, carefully tying each bag around the string by whioh the pieces of meat were hung up. Hang up again, and let it remain till wanted for use. Nbvkr Retract.?A distinguished editor was in his study. A long, thin, ghostly viaaged gentleman was announoed. With an asthmatic voice, but in a tone of stndied civili ty, for otherwise the editor would have as suredly transfixed him with a fiery paragraph the next morning, the stranger sai l: Sir. yoar journal of yesterday contained false information."
