UoUoii Con volition.
The Convention consisting of dele-1
gates from the various Cotton Ex
changes, convened at White Sulphur j
Springs, Virginia, a few days ago. A
resolution was adopted that now types ;
of cotton be made up by experts, to
assimilate with the present Liverpool
standard. It provides that the types
received from Liverpool shall be Un-
American and international standards;!
the types of uplands to be made up
by experts from the New York, Nor
folk, Charleston, Savannah and Cin
cinnati Exchanges; and the types for
Mobile, Orleans and Texas cotton
bo made up respectively by experts
from Ncvv Orleans, Memphis, Galves
ton, St. Louis, Mobile and Vicksburg
Exchanges. The American types to
conform exactly to tho Liverpool
types now in possession of the Na
tional Exchange.
A resolution was also adopted fix
ing a uniform standard of measure
ment of cotton-pross boxes at two
feet wido and four feet six inches
long, and providing regulations for
bagging, ties, and tho weight of bales.
A resolution was adopted to the ef
fect that it is desirable that tho ques
tion of selling cotton at not weight
be considered by the various ex
changes, and they bo requested to re
port at the next meeting of the Na
tional Exchange, whether in their
opinion such a change should bo at
tempted, and if so, to suggest the
best plan of carrying it into effect.
Ci; f >rs.--Tiio crops in this county
p.l'o generally short. Tiicy have suf
fered for rain throughout most of
the county, and tho cotton is cut oil'
by the drouth so much that in some
Sections there will be almost a total
failure. In other portions of the coun
ty the rains have been abundant and
even excessive. The county will not
average much if any more than half a
crop.— Washiiirjlon Gai-lfc.

m a summary of the reports of the
harvest prospects received from all
parts of tho united kingdom says:
It is plain that 1877 will prove no ex
ception to tho succession of unfortu
nate harvests which we havo lately ex
perienced. Tho wheat crop is cer
tainly very generally and largely
below tho average.
The Albany News reports fine rains
in that section last Monday and
Tuesday. Also that hundreds of
negroes in that section believe that
Whitely, who is now in Colorado,
will send for them Christmas day
and give them free transportation to
that country.
A young man of twenty five years

Curing Hams.
Tho following recipes are thoso ac
cording to which the hams that took
the first and second premiums at a
Maryland Stuto Fair were cured:
1. Mix two and a half pounds of
saltpetre finely powdered, one-half
J bushel fine salt, throe pounds brown
sugar, one-lmlf gallon molasses. Rub
the meat with tho mixture; pack skin
down. Turn over once a week, and
add a little salt. After being down
\ three or four weeks, take out, wash,
Vnd bang up two or three weeks until
it is dry. Then smoke with hickory
wood three or four weeks, then bag or
pack away in a cool place—-not a cel
lar—in chaff or bay.
2. The meat, after being cut out,
! must be rubbed, piece by piece, with
very finely powdered saltpeter, on
the flesh side, mid where the leg is
j cut off, a tablespoonful (not heaped)
to each Imm, a dessert-spoonful to
; cacti shoulder, and about half that
j qnantity to each middling and jowl;
I this must bo rubbed in. Then salt it
| by packing a thin coating of salt on
the flesh side of each piece, say ono-
J half an inch thick; park tho pieces on
a scaffolding, or on a floor with strips
j of plank laid a few inches apnrt all
| over it (t’ at. is, under the meat) the
1 pieces must be placed skin side down,
jin the following order: First layer,
bams; second, shoulders; third, jowls;
j fourth, middlings—take the spare
j ribs out of the middlings. The meat
must lio in this wise six weeks if the
1 weather is mild, eight if cold—the
j brine being allowed to run freely.
PREPARATION OF FOOD FOll STOCK.—
It lias been long admitted that chop
; ping tho food given to our horses,
mules and cattle, increases the digest
! ibility of the food, and makes a smaller
j quantity supply sufficient nutriment.
The steaming and softening the cbop
! ped food by water was a further irn
j provement in the preparation of stock
food, both an to its quality and in an
economical point of view, and now
another and, it is said, greater im
provement bas been introduced, name
ly, the grinding or crushing fodder,
iiay and straw, by which they are
made quite soft and succulent, more
easy of digestion, more nutritive, and
more palatable. Tho grinding is done
by ordinary mill-stones, and is very
simple and inexpensive iu its opora
tion.
The following is recommended as a
igood cough mixture: Take one quart
; of water, make it thick as gruel with
j wheat bran, boil twenty-five minutes,
then strain through a cloth. Add a
little nutmeg and a little sugar to suit
| the taste. Take it often, one or two
swallows. Drink a pint each day,
I and soon tho cough will leave entirely,
j Give this a fair trial, say for one week
daily.

Soft Gingerbread.—Melted butter
half a coffee-cup, malasses two coffee
cups, one egg, one tablespoonful of
ginger, one coffee-cup of sour milk,
two heaping teaspoons of soda, added
1 the last thing before baking, and flour
to make a stiff batter. Bake at once
in an oven with steady heat. No
\ cake burns as easily as molasses cake.
Muffins. Three tablespoons of
' butter, melted in three pints of luiik;
! w hen cold stir in six well beaten eggs;
! one teaspooiifnl of salt; two tea
| spoonsful of yeast; flour enough to
make it as thick as you can beat it;
beat it from twenty in Unites to half
jan hour; then set it to rise. It should
bo light in three hours.
Tho following is a German recipe
{ for liquid shoe polish: -Dissolve 3.1
1 ounces of shellac in half a pint of nl

j and mix. A few drops are to be ap

1 If milk be introduced into bottles,
well corked, and put into a pan of
j cold w'ater, and gradually raised to
i the boiling point, and after being
allowed to cool, be taken out and put
in a cool place, the milk may be kept
! perfectly sweet for half a year.
For colds, coughs, croup or lung
; fever, take lard or sweet oil, two parts;
: coal oil, two parts;-spirits camphor,

THE SUN.
1877, NEW YORK. Is 7 7.
The different editions of Tk£ Sum during
I the next year will be Llie same as during the
: year jrtsf passed. Tho daily edition
| will on wet k days be a sheet of four pages,
I and on .Sundays a sheet ot eight pages, or 50
broad columns; while the Weekly edition
i will boa sheet of eight pages of the same
1 dimensions and character that are already
1 familiar to our friends.
The .Sun will continue to be the strenuous
| advocate of reform and retrenchment, and
of the substitution of statesmanship, wis
| dom, and integrity for hollow pretence, im
; liability, and fraud in the administration of
! public affairs. It will contend for the gov
j eminent of the people by the people and for
the people, as opposed to government by
j frauds iu the ballot-box and in the counting
of votes, enforced by military violence. It
i will endeavor to supply its read; rs -a body
| now not far from a million of souls with
[ the most careful, complete anil trustworthy
, accounts of current events, and will employ
[ for this purpose a numeious and earefulh
j selected staff of reporters and correspond
! cuts. Its reports from Washington, espe
| dally, will be full, accurate and fearless,
j and if will doubtless continue to deserve
and m joy the hatred of those who thrive by
[ plundering the Treasury or by usurping
| what the law does not give, them, while it
| will ciidenvof to merit the confidence of the
i public by defending the rights of the people
against encroachments of unjustified
i power.
The price of (be daily Sun will be 55 cents
a month or 85. r >o a year, post paid, or with
the .Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The .Sunday edition alone, cigLf pages,
$1.20 a year, post paid.
The AVekki.y Sun, eight pages of 50broad
columns, will bo furnished during 1877 at
the rate of $1 a ye ar, post paid.
The benefit of (his large reduction (‘r un
the previous rate for the Weekly can be
enjoyed by individual subscribers without
the no ft s.ily of making up clubs. At (he
same time, if any of our friends choose to
■aid in extending our circulation, we shali be
grateful (o them, and every such person who
sends its h n or more subscribers from one
place will be entitled to one copy of the
paper for himself without charge. At one
dollar a year, postage paid, the expense;- ol
paper and printing are barely repaid; amt,
considering the size of tho sheet and the
quality •<* its contents, vm are confident the
people will consider The Weekly .Sun the
cheapest newspaper published in the world,
and we trust also one of the very best.

Wc will send samples to any one who will write us fo? them, with

P&" Hh i ase Talte of tlie "5a
1. Remember samples only give an idea of what goods arc,-tort do not give the
article full justice.
2. not have any hesitancy in ordering the goods you want, for wc guarantee
every article to come up to sample, and if unsatisfactory, it Can be returned to us at our
expense and we will refund the Money.
T. Should any article turn out unsatisfactory, vrliiu-li might occur through an over
sight or otherwise, do not prejudge us of having done so intentionally, but give us the
benefit of the doubt, and before returning it, white us your complaint, so that, if possi
ble, we might arrange matters satisfactorily, without the trouble and expense of returning.
4. Calicoes we cannot always match in the pattern, as wo sell large quantities of
! goode and it is impossible to keep every pattern for tiny length of time. Such and simi
! lar goods we guarantee to fill, by giving the same quality, and as near the same pattern
j as possible.
5. We ask as a favor that parties ordering goods be very particular in writing their
| name and shipping point in plain letters, to a-void mistakes; also, to make thoir order
; us definite as possible, especially on articles, of which samples cannot be sent, we would
ask to give us a limit in the price, to enable us to form a proper idea of wliat tlio article
is to be ,
f. A\T m v r if is possible, we prefer the money to accompany the order, but we
will send the goods 0 O. D. (cash on delivery) by !Express, and if requested, we will in
struct the agent to open tlio package for examination, before paying for it.
7. We do not sell on credit under any consideration. If previously arranged, wc
will take a cotton factor’s acceptance in payment.
8. Do not order any goods unless yon have the money ready to pay for it.
0. We prepay the freight on all orders amounting to twenty dollars or over. This
is the very best we can do, for our profit is so slight (as wc retail our goods at wholesale
prices) that wo - cannot afford to do better. We admit there are houses who pay freight
on ten do liars Worth of goods, but common sense teaches plaiufy that their profit must
be larger than ours, or else they could not afford to do if, and therefore, in such cases,
the party ordering the goo<& of such a house pays-the freight aft er all-- only indirectly.
We lmvo endeavored to be as konert and candid in our statements as tlio
language at our command can do it, and if ibis fails to convince, We do not
know what can.
Wo hold ourselves legally responsible to carry out tho above assertions
and consider this a binding contract, entered upon by m freely and volun
tary, and affirm it herewith by our signature.

"NEWSY, SPICY, RELIABLE.”
The
Atlanta Constitution*
T TNI)EH ITS NEW MANAGEMENT,
The Atlanta Constitution Las won
for itself tlie title of tho loading journal ol
tlio South. Its enterprise, during tho re
cent etc'lion excitement, in sending corre
spondents to different portions of the ctiim
trv. ;'.nd its series of special telegrams from
Washington while the electoral commission
was engaged in consummating tbo fraud that
placed Radicalism once more in power in
our national councils, are evidences con
spicuous enough to prove that no expense
will be spared to make tho Constitution not
only a loader in the discussion of matters of
public concern, but a leader in the dissemi
nation of the latest and most reliable news.
There is no better time than now to sub
scribe for a fresh and vigorous newspaper.
Albeit, there has been a quasi settlement
of one of the most difficult and dangerous
problems of modem federal politics, tire
discussions springing therefrom and tho re
sults likely to ensue have lost nothing of
their absorbing interest. In addition to this,
the people of Georgia are now called upon to
settle the eonrentiofi question, and in the
dissension of this important subject (iu
which the Constitution will take a leading
part) every Georgian is interested. If a
convention is cuffed its proceedings will
find their earliest and fullest embodiment in
tho columns of the Constitution, and this
fact alone will make the paper indispensable
to every citizen of tlio Slate. To be brief,
The Atlanta Daily Constitution
will endeavor, by all tho means that the
progress of modern journalism has made
possible and necessary, to hold its place as a
leader of Southern opinion and as a pur
veyor of tin l latest news. Its editorials will
he thoughtful, timely and vigorous- cater.)
and argumentative in their methods and
thoroughly Southern and Democratic in
their sentiments. Its news will be fresh,
reliable and carefully digested. It will be
alert and enterprising, and no expense will
be spared to make it the medium of the latest
and most important intelligence.
The Weekly Constitution.
Besides ••mbodying everything of interest
in tin daily, the Weekly Constitution will
contain a Department of Agriculture, which
will b. in charge of Mr. Malcolm Johnson,
the well-known Secretary of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society. This depart
ment will be made a specialty, aud will be
thorough and complete. The farmer will
find in it not' only all the current informa
tion on the. subject of agriculture, l*uttimely
suggestions and well-digested advice.
Subscriptions should be sent in at once.
