THE INDIANA STATE SF&TTINEL, A7EDNESDAY MORNING, FEBHUA11Y 13, 1878.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13.

Thk latest news is that J. Madison Wells Trill "develop" if he is not protected. The public "want the perjurer and scoundrel to "develop." Tt B. IIatss' right to sign a patent for the conveyance of land has been refused o ac: coant of doubts as to tis title to tbe office widen he obtained by fraud and perj wy. The Sttylock orgam are exceedtesly anx ions foe Hayes to use his veto power. These monarchical emissaries can't betr 'the idea that tn thtsountry the people aw sovereign. It -should be understood thtt two of the inert prominent japera ia tbe country that are -now epposinc the will cl the American people ae owned and controlled by British projects. ' TfE'Whippirg post will undoubtedly soon lbc esti blishei in KentU9:y. Wiiippins will then be the punishment for larceny, wife atingandoiinor ofScnses. A majority of the white prople of ths entire utate are in rlaror of the proposition, and the better class of negroes lelieve it nuUI have salutary effect upos the sneak thieves, vagrants and worthless lellows, naaxy of whom ace of their own race. A iVRrrEU in tfca Cincinnati Enqairer, speaking of Joha -Sherman as a Shylock, - says: HeUaore: Joha Sherman in a cannibal; he istheoomaion enetay of tho Arue;lcan people, and the fast frs ud of the foretgn bondholder. Joha Shwrinan U the liead renter of the monster wntray rings, through which so . many belter meu than he have gone to ssate's Crison fororooiteil whisky. Jolin Sherman lias een the blight or our oure prosroa country and hippy reopie. Through him huudrwlior our best business men are being broken op daily. To give him a place in tbe president's cublaet was a very ?creat mistake; .4twl 1 thank you lor rendering unto Sherman the tilings that are Sherman's. Joiik C. Wade, Esq., of Terry county, has come to the conclusion that radicalism won't pay. He stands up like a man, gives free play to Lis convictions, and announces his intentions as follows: I'ASMLTON, Ind., Jan. 2X, 1878. Mr. Chairman aud Oentlemen of the Convention: It is my earnest wih and desire that I may be conwidtrtHl from this time henceforth uud evrnnoreu memlRT of the democratic party of the United States. I will always moht cheerfully support tlie men and measure of the democratic party in tho United States. It has been said that there Is joy over one sinner that jejenteth. Lo! In t her gush. Very respectfully, John C. Wauk. As a matter of course, our old friend is .admitted without note or comment. The Journal of this city, in its isu of Saturday lest, contained fifty-lour notices in bankruptcy. Does any oue believe such, a wholesale business could have been douc in tbe bankruptcy coups if the resumption act had sever been passed? Indiana Farmer. The attention of the people of Indiana is called to the statement which we clip from the Farmer. "Fifty-four notices in bankrup cy" tell a fearul tale of business depression. During the past six vears Indiana has suffered more than $20,000;000 iiy bankruptcy, and still the Shylock Journal advocates the policy that has produced the ruin. It is never more satisfied than when its columns attest tho curse of its poiicy nevermore serene than when its columns, like stretchers, are bearing the dead and wounded from the battlefields of business. VErO-"I FOKItlD. It is a remarkable fact that without an exception the Shylocks and their organs demand thv.t Hayes shall exercise the prerogative of vetoing the two great measures of relief now before congress; that is, he is to aay, "I forbid their passage!" and unless a two-thirds vote can be had in their favor relief is postponed, and the disasters incident to contraction will continue. It may be well to know something of the history of the power which the constitution confers upon tbe president of the United States. We find the following in the American Cyclopedia: Veto Is a Latin word, signifying "I forbid. whicli has been introduced luto the political language of m xleru nations to signify tin act by wnlcn the executive power refuses INsanctiou to a measure proceeding front the legislature. Tbe first lust nee of the use ot this power was by the tribune of the people ot -Home, when by pronouncing the word "veto" ctul I render of no avail th- decrees of tiie senate or the proceedings of the magistrates. Thd tribunes of the peopie were the most important or ail the officers bearing tiie name. They were first appointed after the session of Mons Sacer in 4!)l. They wore empowered to project the plebeians against the usurpation of the patrician magistrates. It is easy enough to see that since tbe date when the "tribunes of tbe people of Rome" exercised the veto power great change have tiien place, and that now, in this full orbed noon of civilization, the Shylocks and their organs demand the use of the veto power to crush the people and intensify their sufferings. We have printed in these columns time and ngain that the people of tbe United States, as shown by the rote of their representatives, are overwhelmingly in favor of the remonetization of silver and the repeal of the resumption law. The vote shows that 38,003,000 are in favor of thess measures against about 7,000,000 opposed to their passage. Cut here is another form of argument in which the electoral vote is taken hi to account, and which, with our form of government, upon questions absolutely constitutional, should have weight when the veto power is called nto operation. The vote on tbe silver bill, ays tbe Chicago Tribune, shows that on the one side the rcnionetizition of Bilver is demanded by the following states: Electoral! Electoral States. Alabama... VOt. 10 .States. vo e. 1. Z"L ' lo 21 :i ! 7 Missouri ........... Nebraska....... Arkansas ...... . 6 California ('noradu Florida......... tleorgia . liiiuuis ...... ., Indiana ....

THE JOURNAL'S GBA5D TUMBLE. If any modification of the views of the Shylock Journal upon business affairs is worth anything at all, it will, we think, be

generally conceded that the credit is due. entirely to the merciless spankings the Se-A tinel has Irom time administered as dut pasure prompted, These casuptl'Vns I it re producing a healthy charge, n ! . . the tone of the Shylock ' orgunte utterances. The columns of tb.e "'business 'grave digger" yesterday morn 'ingneaTtssti raony that a change has set m, wbic'a is struggling powerfully witU its pockets. Some time since we took o reason to present to the people of Indiana tiie Shylock organ's business and financial platform, and to denounce it with merited eeverity. The first plank in the platform of the Shylock organ, demanded that tbe repeal of the resumption law should be indefinitely postponed. It reads as foKows: The senate should Indefinitely BostpnetJ.e hill repeal! ng the resumption lav.-, and th.n congress should give tks people reet. When tho Shylock organ announced its desire to have contraction and bankruptcy go forward, that it might gather in a little money from sheriff's salos and bankrupt courts, the eastern Shylocks were even then adding to the distress of western creditors by insisting upon rates of interest they could not pay The Sentinel, some weeks since, took occasion to point out probable consequences if eastern capitalists insisted upon exacting high rates of interest. JLt that time the Journal grave digger was as silent as an oyster, and outraged every principle of justice by clamoricg for measures calculated to intensify the business gloom of the country. After submitting to our lash we have compelled it to commence the laughable feat of swallowing itself. It says: If the west U to comply with all the demands made by eastern capitalists in relation io resumption on the a ngle gold standard, and no concession be made them on the rate of interest beinS paid on their Indebtedness, then universal bankruptcy to the west will be the inevitable result. There has not been the slightest change in the business situation from the time tbe Shylock organ demanded the indefinite postponement of the bill for tbe repeal of the resumption law up to yesterday, when the squeal was uttered. The resumption law has not been repealed, nor has the rate of interest been reduced, but the Shylock organ under our lash has lost caste and credit, leadership and the confidence tf its party. It has tried its lash upon the republican state press and got itself kicked for its impudence, and now it tells its readers if the rate of interest is not reduced the ' business of the west will go to the devil. The Shylock organ has told its readers that the Sentinel was constantly misrepresenting the business condition of the country when we depicted the bankruptcy and ruin that enshrouded the land; and to show its treachery to the best interests of the people, and its wilful and premeditated mendacity, it now says: The store rooms and dwellings which were then renting atone hundred dollar, per month are now renting for titty dollars p?r month. The farm land which was then renting for cash at ten dollars per acr is now reuting for tl? dollars per acre. Il will not do to ay that this shrinkage in value is only tins misfortune of the debtor, and a matter with which the creditor has no c-.ncern, lecause this is not meeting the questlo 1. The shrinkage lit values of all kind of property, including rents, is tne result of our laudable eflbrts to reach specie payments. Here is an open admission that the Sentinel has been right, and that the purpose to resume January 1, 1873, is the chief cause of all our business woes. . Still the heartless and soulless concern demanded that the bill to repeal tbe resumption law should be indefinitely postponed, aud stigmatized the remoneti.a tion of silver as follows in its platform: THK BLAND BILL.. The remonetization of silver under the terms of the island bill will be more disastrous in its consequences, in our opinion, than the repeal ot the resumption act. It might, iu its present form, properly be termed an act to reduce the value of greenbacks six per cent. - TIIE VOTE ON THE ISLAND BILL NOT KOI I TIIE INTERESTS OIT THE COt'NTKY. The members of congress, no doubt, think they are representing tue will of their constituents, and that the nnsses of the people iu the wes demand a repeal of the resumption act an Jaremonetl.atlon of silver under the terms of the liiand bill This is, probably, true in certain districts; but, taking the country at large, it is not true. But if 11 was true U does not follow that it is right or for the best interests of the whole people. After such declarations it now says, in referring to the ability of the government to resume There Is not sufficient surplus in the hands of the people, and there Is not sufficient gold In the whole country, if ail were Invested ia those bouda, to enable the government to resume. The repeal ot the resumption act, or the extension of the time tlxed lor resumption, therefore, become a necessity, aud the sojner it is dome the better. To show the extent of the Shylock orga Vs flop under the Sentinel's lash it is only necessary to contrast the above language with the following plank in the Shy lock's platform published a few weeks since: KEPCHLICAN NERVE. Where the republicans have had nerve enough to go to the people demanding a lorward march to resumption tney have won lu the contest. We t hintc the tiin has come for the republicans of Indiana to take a position as a party and stand by the administration on the financial questi-m. The position is right, and it is ouly a question of ttme when it must pie vail. We shall in due time have tbe Shylock organ demanding the reruonetization of the silver dollar of 412J grains; in fact, we do not intend to let up in our "spanking" la bors until we have compelled the Shylock organ to completely swallow itself, and we intend to so stimulate its digestion that when it appears in its new life tho people shall be amazed at the change. We feel encouraged, and those who will listen will hear our blows fall thick and fa-tin the future. THE K3 I IXKL. Generous words of approval come to us from all portions f the state. They are so full of cheer and confidence that we should be chargeable with ingratitude if we were to withhold our public recognition of the confidence so flatteringly expressed. We can as sure our steadily increasing number of readers that tbe Sentinel will take no retrograde steps in tbe advocacy of a policy calculated to improve the welfare of the state and tbe country. The Sentinel is Irrevocably pledged to the advocacy of measures of relief from tbe present business depression, and to eternal hostility to legislation designed to enrich one class while ' it impoveiaiea another class. We shall con tinua to expose the treachery and mendacity of the Jou-iial, wboso sou!, if it has a aoul, is of such in finite littleness that several millions of them could keep boarding bouses in

a gna tye an(j ave ample space for streets, Par and public buildings. It has been our P' .-fil-e, and the duty has afforded na great ftaesure, to spank the Journal, and we

Ihave performed the duty until there are -evidences of a softening of the brain, and -we have been charged with the offense of cruelty to animals. The great campaign for 187S ts"30on to commence, and we assure the patrons of tbe Sentinel that we shall make it exceedingly warm for the Shylocks and therr organs. LET JUSTICE BE DOXE. The country at last breathes easier. Anderson, one of the deep dyed villains who committed forgery and perfury to elevate It. D. Hayes into tbe presidential cbair, has been found guilty, and will doubtless at an early day be arrayed in the garb of a telon and set to work with kindred associates behind prison bars. His co conspirators will in all propability soon follow him. Thus truth comes to light; crimes areeiposcd; justice asserts its sway, the law is vindicated and honest men rejoice. The leaders of the radical party those who indorsed the villainies of the returning board hoped for a different result, and their disappointment must be crushing. The organs which advocated the returning board crimes, that sought to defend the criminals and defeat the ends of justice, must realize that their infamy is regarded as little, if at all, less detestable than tho3e who perpetrated the crimes. The New Orleans Times, in a late issue, in referring to the returning board rascalities, says: We do not see why the on n try should be ko Kenera ly excited as it appears to be concerning the reported indictment of Ortleld, Matthews, Kelly, Stoughtou, Sherman, Hale, and the other statesmen who assisted our returning hoard to corue to its tuodorouiy celebrated conclusion. It is true that Weils, Anderson & Co. are indicted for forging returns from Vernon parish. Hut this is only one grain In the big lump of fraud. While the instructions of the judge, and the pleas of the attorneys In the pending ti lal may, and indeed,lu due process of law, must cutilintd to the particular averments and the limited ' scope of the Indictment, the gravamen o! their ofiVnse is tho lalsiticatlon of the vote ot the st te ot Iyrulsi na. The niu'llatloii of the Vernon parish returns did not alter the result iu the least. The general, aud we think the correct, supposition is that that part'cular crime was perpetrated for a collateral purpose, outside ft and wholly iiideeiideu.t of the general suit in the state. Every man, woman and child In the c iiiiitiy knows that the real oftense of n e returning loard was it perver-ion of the will of the people iu declaring, lalsely, that luisiaua voted for Hayes for president and lor j Packard lor governor. The lat'er part of the verdict the people of thestate look upoi themselves to rectify ami reverse, and they Uld it effectually ; but the first part still stands. In virtue thereof Hyes dispenses the f-deral patronage, Hale monopolizes the Maine po-t offices, (siough ton 1 minister to Hiis.via and Matthews senator from Ohio. In procuring this result the statesmen above named oversnadnwed Kenner, Casanave, Wells and Anderson. They were accessories before the act and beneficiaries by the tact. The only difference is that they skulk behind a mask of respetabillty and patriotism heaven save the mark! -ill ve ilie profits and talk of civil ei vice reform while Anderson ana Wells stand aghast before thyawning gates of the penitentiary. If stern justice i to be executed, why should It not tall on the master as well ns the man? The only did' reuce is one of power and'place. In the false c.unt of the vote ,f Louisiana they were partlceps crlintnis. They are enjoying the fruits while their allies are suffering the torments ot the damned. Why thou d they not be indicted if evidence can be louiid -ui-licieut to convince tha grad jury of their complicity? Eminent reformers should not object to the enforcement of the law, especially in criminal cases where the evidence is clear. Even handed justice would not be at all shocked at the indictment of Uarileid &Co. Iy all means let justice be done. Let "Garfield it Co." be brought into court and compelled t? answer for their share in the great crime of the century. Let the political atmosphere be purified. Let liberty stand unabashed before the world. American honor demands the conviction and punishment of the whole gang. THE STATE HOUSE PLANS. The Work of the Commissioners -Secresy Bequlred by the Law. The state house commissioners are t-till engaged in tbe routine work of examining the plans. Something has been said alout tbe secrecy with which their work is conducted. Last year some of tbe architects complained of the manner in which their plans ere treated, being open to the public, and some of the plans were defaced and otherwise injured. They also complained that other architects by examining their plans were enabled to steal their good points, which were certainly private property until tbe btate had adopted one of them. T remedy this trouble, and to induce as many architects as possible to compete, they embodied in their instructions to architects the following: The commissioners will take proper menures to prevent any plan, drawings or Fpecitications from being wen, except bythirown tody and the experts until the decision is finally made and publicly announced. The'drawiugs, sf educations and estimates of the plan adopted by the commissioners for a new state house will be retained as the property of ihe state, and all other drawings will bo returned to their lespt ctive owners immediately after making the award. The commissioners desire to secure the permission of all tbe competing architects to have a public exhibition of the plans after one has been Belected, so that every one may see what has been adopted and what rejected. A more thorough elimination of the Instructions for architects show that it would be almost impossible to add any new tests without coming in conflict with the instructions, which, when issued, were said by architects to be the most complete and satisfactory of any instructions they had ever seen.

One of the crew became crazy, attempted to kill one of his comrades, but was himself killed. The dead man's ho ly was then eaten by the man who killed hint. rsnnfM nt Pork Parker. We have, says the Rural World, in former years, again and again urged farmers to pack and cure and prepare for market their own lork. The combinations among the city packers this winter to pay only very low prici s for pork makes it very important that farmers should kill and cure their own hogs. It is true last year the packers paid poad prices, and lost money. But this year they have combined to pay low prices and make money. They in ten! to make up the losses of last year aud double the money they invest this jear besides. Now, if farmers can kill and cure hogs as well ad men in the city can, when the pork is sold they will double their motiey, too. What one man cau do another man can do. If one man can cure pork well in the city, another man in the country can cure it equally welt. But he must iry to qualify himself to do it. He must talk with those who have good success in curing meat, and draw out all tbe information he can. He must read everything he can find on the subject. He must make the proper arrangements at home for doing It well. He must learn to cut and trim his bacon nicely. He 111 u.n keep it neat and in good order. He must not have it too salt nor too fresh. He must get a good recipe and try it, and his own exerience may induce him to modify it somewhat in future operations. He must talk with his neighbors, watch their practices, and perfect himself in the busiues?, and cure his pork us well as any other - man, and he can sell it as well. When market day corner, if the city packer nnkes money, he makes jt, too. If the city packer loses money, he does not, because he has produced, not bought, his ho.?', and well cured pork will Ml at paying prices always. Good pork always buys work on the farm. It always buys goods at the store, in town or city. It always commands money, because people must eat. The better tLe quality the better the price, and the more easily it is sold. It is the best that pays best Put up vour own hogs. Don't send thorn to the city aud nearly give thum away. Deduct ship pingerp-'tises, commission, etc., and but li tie is left. Put up pork at borne, and you have what will c-riiuisLd money all the time. Corydon Democrat: A yonng man of Losnport was tirfied on Monday.

A LEUAL TEJf. Au Able ami Interesting Review of the lnetlnn The Original Act Denning It The Srtbseqnent Acts. IPlttsburg Telegraph. At this peculiar crisis, when the whole country i3 agitated with the question of remonetizing silver end the probable effect such action would work on finance generally is discussed by every one, from the president to the laborer, the following resume of the various acts of congress authorizing and regulating a United States metallic currency may not be uninteresting to some of your numerous readers, if you think it worthy of a place in your columns. Act 21 April, 1702. By this act gold and silver are directed to be coined and used as the circulating mediums and money of the United States. Fixing the weight and value of the several gold coins as follows: Gold Standard Aame, value. grains, Eagle ..11 J W) 217 4-8 One-half Kagle . 5 00 13 6-8 One-quarter Kagle.. - 50 61 7-8 grains, 270 135 67 4-8 And the silver coins as follows: Silver Standard Name. grains. grains.

This act establishes the relative value of gold to bilver as 15 to 1, according to quantity in weight, of the pure metals, viz: Every 15 pounds weight of pure silver to be exactly equal in value, in tue payment of debts, to one pound weight of pure gold, and so in the same proportion for greater or lesser quantities. No alloy is mentioued in this act, and coins of both metals are directed to circulat3 as legal tenders in payment of all sums whatsoever. Act of 18th January, 1337, regulated the composition of gold and silver coins of the United States as follows: Tnat for every 1.000 parts, by weight 900 shall be of pure metal and 100 of ahoy, the alloy of gold to be copper aud silver, the silver not toex ceed one-half of tho whole alloy. The alloy of the silver to be copper. Up to the passage of this act gold and silver coins had remained in circulation on the basis of weight and fiueness prescribed by act of 2d of April, 1702; but now congress made a general, though trilling reduction in the standard weight of all the coins for future circulation, viz.: The gold eagle to weigh 25S grains. The gold half eagle to weigh 121) grains. The gold quarter eagle to weigh 61 XA grains. The silver dollar to weigh 412 grains. The Bilver half dollar to weigh 200 grains. The silver quarter dollar to weigh VbVA grains. The silver dime to weigh'4l grains. The silver half dime to weigh 20 grains. And declared all the foregoing coins legal tenders, according to their value, for any sums whatever. The next step in the coinage was the introduction of two new coins, under act of congress 5th March, 1S19. viz : double eagles, or $20 gold pieces, and one dollar gold pieces; both to be struck aud received at tbe mint of the United States, upon the standard of composition fixed and declared in the act of 1837. Act 3 1 March, 1451, authorizes the issue of the next coin in the calendar, being the three cent piece, t weigh 12?g grains, and be composed of three fourths silver and onefourth copper, and declaring it a legal tender in payment 01 any sum not exceeding thirty cents. This may be looked on as the first step towards demonetizing silver, for hitherto all coins of the United States had gone arm in arm with gold without limitation. Act of 2lstof February, 1S53, inaugurated a new era in the history of the coin of the United States. Whilst this act did not impede the circulation of gold coin or the silver dollar.it changinl the weight of the following: The half dollar to weigh 102 grains, the quarter dollar, dime and half dime to be respectively , 1 5 and 1-10 the weight of the half dollar, and still further demonetized the silver currency by declaring that the coins mentioned be henceforth a legal tender lor any amount not exceeding $5. It also fixed the weight of the three cent piece at 3-50 of the half dollar and of the eame standard of fineness. Act 21 February, 1857, fixsd the standard weight of the ceat piece to be coined at the mint, at 72 grain, or 3 20 of the ounce troy, the composition to be 8S per cent of copper and 12 of nickel. It also enacted that no foreign gold or silver coins shall be a legal tender in payme nt of any debts within the United States. Section 3,581, revised statutes Act 22 April, 1SC1, again changed the composition and weight of the one cent piece to 4$crainF, or 1-10 of the ounce troy, to be composed of 95 per cent, of copper and 5 per ceut. of nickel, nd directed the coinage of a two cent piece to weigh 03 grains. The ouo c-'nt piece to be a legcl tender for sums not exceeding 10 cents, and the two cent piece a legal tender to the amount of 20 cents. Act 31 March, 1805, ushered in a new three cent coin, to consist of copper and nickel, not toeiceed 25 per cent, in nickel alloy, to weigh 20 grains, and be a leil ten,der to the amou fit of CO cents. Act 16th Ma)', 18GU authorized the isu Of the 5 cent nickel, to weigh 77 1G 100

grains, to be composed of copper and nickel, not to exceed 25 per cent., and to be a legal tender to the amount of $1. Act 12th February. 1873. (section 3.5S5 Revised Statutes): lhegold coins of the United States are declared to be the one dollar piece, which shall be the unit of value, the weight to be established at 25 8 10 grains: XA eagle, value $2 50, standard weight, 6i4 grains; three dollar piece, value $3, standard, weight. 77 4 10 grains; yA eagle, value $5, standard weight, 120 grains; eagle, value $10, standard weight, 258 grains; double eagle, value $20, standard weight, 510 grains. Those coins to be an unlimited legal fender in all payments at their nominal value, when not below the standard weight and limit of tolerance provided by law for each single piece, but when reduced in weight one half of one per cent they shall be recoined, otherwise circulate at their actual value. The silve? coins are The trade dollar, to weigh 420 grains. The half dollar, to weigh 2i grammes. The quarter dollar and dime, respectively, to be one-half and one-fi:th the weight of the half dollar. The standard of both gold and silver is so established that of 1,000 parts by weight 90J shall be pure metal and 100 of alloy tho alloy of silver to De copper, and of gold to be copper or copper and silver, the silver in no case to exceed one-tenth ot the whole alloy. Section 3 5SG R. S., finally demonetizes silver, declaring that all the silver coins of the United States shall be a legal tender at their nominal value for any amount not exceeding $5 in any one payment. Section 3.5S7 IL S., enacts that the minor coins are the 5c., 3c. and lc. pieces; the 5c and 3c to be ?4 copper and nickel, and the lc. piece to be Uo per cent, copper and 5 per ceDt. nickel or zinc The 2c. piece is dropped from the coinage, and the remaining minor coins, viz.: 5c , 3c. and lc pieces are made a legal tender to the uniform amount of 25 cents iu any one payment. "Pecuxia." Selecting JHettla, (Western Cattle Grower. In selecting beef to roast, if it be for a small family, the rib is by far the best and most tender cut; have some of the bone removed; then make your butcher skewer the beef. Tbe best beefsteak for broiling is porterhouse. The best beef for a la mode is the round; have the bone removed, and trim off all the gristle. For corned beef, the round is also the bes. For mutton roast, choose the shoulder, the saddle or the loin and haunch. Tbe leg should be boiled. Small rib chops are best for broiling; those cut out from the leg are generally tough. Mutton cutlets to bake are taken from the neck. For .roast veal, the loin, breast or shoulder is good. Veal chops are best for frying; cutlets are more apt to be tough. In selecting beef tike that which ha3 a loose grain, easily yielding to pressure, of a dark red color, smooth, with whitish fat; if the lean is purplish and the fat is yellow, it is Eoor beef. Grass fed is the lightest, ox the est, and next the heifer. Perhaps the nicest mutton roast is a small leg, the bone taken out and tbe cavity stuffed with forced meat. The best beef roast is (for three)about two and a half or three pounds of porterhouse. Sirloin ranks next. A'rump roast is very nice. Two or three pounds is a great plenty for three. In chops, I think that from tbe hind leg of mutton best, unless you can get a "meaty" sirloin. The same in pork; about one and a quarter to one and a half pounds is sufficient : beefsteak, about the same quantity. Porterhouse is cheaper than sirloin, having less bone. Rump steak and round, if well pounded to make them tender, have the best flavor.

Important to Knrmena, Ktock Men and feit In ItrUem. Dayton, O., Feb 5, 1878 In tbe Indiana Farmer of the 19th of Janury, in a report of the meeting of the Swine Breeders' association cn the 10:h allusion was made to the various remedies advertised for the cure of hog cholera in the agricultural papers, and a want of faith expressed in any as yet known remedy; also that several mem hers had given testimony against my specific, they having seen it used in several cases without beneficial results. In reply to these broad assertions I have to state that I already have over 1,000 certificates from farmers and breeders in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, who have tried my remedy, not only with good effect but have cured their hog that were affected with, cholera, and as tbese letters were sent to me without solicitation on my part, cetainly confirms me in my belief that I only advertised the truth when putting my remedy before the people. So much so was this the case that when the Indiana Farmer wrote me soliciting my advertisement, theydid so saying that they were satisfied tb-t my hog cholera remedy was no humbug and possessed the merits claimed for it There are cases where hogs have diseased lungs that can not be cured, or if the medicine is' sprinkled in tbe animal's food, and where one dollar's worth of it Is supposed to cure 50 head of hogs, where it is out of all reason to expect anything else but failure, still I have yet to hear of the first instance where my remedy has failed when given in accordance with the plain, printed instructions. I would here remark that being a veterinary surgeon, a graduate of one of the very best known colleges in Prussia, and; having devoted my time and attention for many years to the proper pre para tion of a preventive and cure for this disease, I certainly ouht to be a judge as to tbe merits I claim and know my remedy possesses. Aside from the many fiattering letters that I am constantly in receipt of, and from parties who have duplicated adding to their former orders, which are open for inspection to any one desiring to see or verify tbem, I will Again repeat my offer made in the Indiana Farmer of July 21. 1877. My offer is that the Swine Breeders' association and myself each secure to the state board of agriculture the sum of $500, and let them appoint a committee of three or five impartial judges, before whom I will go at any time they appoint, and in any part of your state, and make a public test of my discovery. I will take nogs having every form of hog disease (not only cholera), and cure nearly every one, excepting only such as are already in a dying condition. Every one knows that the disease is "beyond doubt contagious." The experiments of Dr. Sutton, of I ndiana. Professor Axe, of London, and other distinguished scientific men, referred to in the United States agricultural report for 1S75, prove that the disease is communicated in from three to fourteen days, the longest period being in cases where hogs are kept in separate pens and contact was avoided. I will take hogs having the cholera in its most violent and fatal form, and put well hogs in the same pens with them for fourteen days, and show that the well hogs have not been infected with the disease, but haveconie out safe and soncd. In these experiments I will use only my own discovery and treatment Although I am not able to give the medicine away.I will pay all my ownexpenses; besides, to convince you that this is no wager, the $.100 you deposit shall go to tbe poor of the state. If I fail, my money belongs to you. Xo honorable men can refuse this offer, unless they make public amends for the wrong done to me. And an honest admission of an error or a fault will not harm any men, but will raise tht-m in their own estimation, and in the eyes of their fellow men. I will rest my case here and let it stand or fall on its true merits. Your obedient servant, JosEra Haas. Extract from tbe Pod. Dr. Trice's Ytnilla Flavor isextracted from 'he Mexicau Vanilla Pod.
