Cured in the Historic
Town of Smithfield, Va.
Story of an Old and Successful
Enterprise Before the War.
Intelligence and Industry.
Til.: "SaiithfleM" hams, recently
placed on sale in this market, are pre
pared in the little town of Smithfiehl.
Virginia, in Isle of Wight County ou
the south bank of the James river.
The place is noted in Church history,
for an ancient edifice built in 1S32
with brick imported from England by
the early colonists. It was the second
Church building erected in the State.
It was used by soldiers of both sides
in the Civil War as barracks. A mo
nument was made several years ago
by the Episcopal Church to restore
the building and maintain it as a me
mento of the early days.
Half a century ago, a planter living
in the town, after careful experiments,
succeeded in preparing a ham, which
in the delicacy of its flavor surpassed
all other hams' in the market. He used
the common "razor backed" hogs, but
fed them on acorns for some weeks
previous to slaughtering them. He
also reduced the fatty meat. His prep
ation of the hams was by a method
of his own. In the course of time,
these 'hams obtained a great reputa
tion. Not only in the South, but in the
North, they were used by the richest
people. During the civil war, the busi
ness entirely ceased. After the close
of the war, it was resumed, but under
great difficulties. The "razor backs"
had been killed off during the war,
and the breed had to be restored. Cut
the skill and experience in the prepar
ation of the hams remained. The fash
ionable people residing in Newport, R.
I., for some years took a large part
of the product. In -Washington and
Baltimore, this special article is in de
mand. The town of Smithfield. now de
pends largely for its prosperity upon
this industry. In other places, enter
prising men have made efforts to pro
duce a similar article, but as a rule
they have not succeeded. They have
failed to secure the precise knowledge,
and skill possessed by the Smithfield
makers. This industry illustrates the
value of intelligence and skill, which
creates a monopoly in the trade.
LONGFELLOW AS A PARODIST.
In the first number of the "Atlantic
Monthly," forty years ago, Ralph Wal
do Emerson, says the Boston Com
mercial, has a poem called "Brahma,"
which puzzled both critics and common
readers. Some said it was the greatest
poem of the century; some said it was
nonsense. The first verse ran as fol
lows: If the red slayer think he slays,
Or if the slain think he is slain,
They know not well the subtle ways
I keep, and pass, and turn again.
That winter it happened that a rela
tive of the poet Longfellow, living in
another State, bought a sleigh, and in
a family letter to the cousins in Cam
bridge there was a wail lest the Janu
ary thaw which had follow the pur
chase should keep them from enjoying
the gay cutter that season. When the
letter was answered Longfellow con
tributed this verse, which, it is said,
has never been printed before:
TO ON THE PURCHASE OF A
SLEIGH.
If the red sleigher think he sleighs.
Or if the sleighin think it is sleighin'
They know not well the subtle ways
Of snow, that comes and goes again.
ADAMS UNSAFE.
The San Francisco Call says: The
United States training ship Adams is
not likely to go to Samoa or any port
far away from home. She may go to
Magdalen for gun practice, but the
authorities may not even allow her to
go that far. Her spar deck beams have
opened up and other defects have
shown themselves, so the vessel is not
now considered safe for a long voyage.
The starting of the deck beams is at
tributed to the constant drilling of 200
naval apprentices on, the spar deck.
