The reported killing of Mr. W. B. Ferrell
near Hephzibah on Sunday by Ja tree falling
on him during the late severe storm is de
nied. It is pronounced by the Augusta

is aiive and well, and teaching school as
usual. The News says that the gentleman

There is nothing in this world half 60

SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1878.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
The store of Mr. J. M. Lindsey, of Irwin-
ton, was set on fire last week by an incen
diary. From the Southerner and Appeal we
. r ?v. a * * mo6t t,ie entire Inner portion
or the house was consumed before the
flames burst through to the roof, and fre-
quent popping of some lire crackers and
cartridges added to the exciting scene
.V arnil ‘K being given, the crowd drew ofT in
time to avoid the danger from the explosion
of a keg of powder which was known to be
in the front part of the building. The loss
is placed at $3,500; insurance $2,000. Says
the “It was an evident fact that
had it not been raining when the fire broke
out the entire business portion of the town
would have been doomed to inevitable de
struction. There should be an organized
hook and ladder company In town.”
Mr. W. L. Stanton, a merchant of Atlanta,
was the subject of a daring and novel at
tempt at robbery a few nights ago. Accord
ing to the Cmutitutiov, “about 12 o’clock
he heard several shots near his room and
soon afterwards a man knocked and begged
admission, stating that he was in great
trouble and that he and a companion had
been attacked by robbers, and that while he
escaped unhurt his friend was lying almost
dead a few feet from the house aud needed
assistance at once. Mr. Stanton suspected
foul play and told the distressed man that
he had better go to the Marshal. Mr. Cook
for the help lie needed. He left the door!
but Mr. Stanton soon heard several footsteps
about the house. He then went out in the
yard and pursued the sharpers, firing seve
ral shots at them which,unfortunately .failed
of effect. This was a sharp and dastardly
effort to rob a citizen, and it was fortunately
foiled.” J
The Bainbridge Democrat pays us the fol
lowing compliment: ‘.‘Colonel Gentrv, of
that staunch and wide-awake journal', the
Savannah News, was in theclty last week.
The Colonel’s efforts, together with the mer
its of the News, is gaining for that paper a
circulation unequaled by any like publica
tion in the South.”
West Point /Wav “Are not our citizens
sleeping over their material interests in the
matter of improving the river? Can it be
expel led that Congressman Harris shall
exhibit a greater concern than we who are
vitally interested? It is in our power
greatly to increase our commercial im
portance by prompt action. Why don’t our
leading citizens call a meeting to consider
the matter, iu accordance with the sug
gestion of our representative ?”
Our exchanges still teem with accounts of
the disaster wrought by the late storm. The
Covington Enterprise says: “A most terrible
storm visited Newton county last Sunday,
accompanied with hail and rain. Some of
the hailstones were as large asaguinea egg.
Corn and cotton was cut down, trees up
rooted, and oats leveled to the ground;
gardens almost ruined. A few outhouses
were blown down. No one, fortunately, was
maimed or killed. The damage of the
storm to the growing crops cannot be esti
mated. From all parts of the county come
the gloomy news that this storm has injured
the farmers to an alarming extent, and that
not more than a half crop will be made.”
Columbus Enquirtr-Stm : “An old citizen
of this plaee, who moved to Nebraska a
number of years ago, left here a family of
negroes which he once owned and two hun
dred and fifty acres of land. He rented it
to these colored, people at one hundred dol
lars per annum, and after the lapse of five
years he returned to this place. During the
whole time he did not collect any rent, and
on going out to see them a day or two ago
it cost him eight dollars, as he had to give
them a dollar each. They were delighted to
see their old master, and he was equally clad
to see them. He does uot force them to pay
him the rent which he charges, and will con
tinue to allow them to remain on his soil.
The only appreciation they could show him
in the shape of a present was that they sent
out their children and had them to pick for
him a wateobucket of blackberries. These
he brought to market and sold at five cents
per quart. This shows the attachment
which slaves and masters had for each other
and which still continues to exist.”
Genteel Beggary.
The books and records of the New
York Poor Association are said to con
tain for last year an unusually large
number of shocking cases of want and
destitution amongst those who have been
well to do, aud oven opulent in times not
far remote. Tbe superintendent told
the reporter of a New York paper that
the public would be amazed if the names
of some who applied for relief in the past
winter should be made known.
“I have in miud the very sad case of a
lady now living on the west side whose
father was a member of Congress and an
intimate friend of Thurlow Weed. At
his death he left his daughter a fortune
of $200,000. This daughter’s husband
died a few years ago, since which the
lady has met with many troubles. Her
fortune all disappeared, and she was left
with a helpless sister and an invalid son
on her hands.
“ She also had another son, who for a
long time was out of employment. We
finally succeeded in getting employment
for this son on the Bleecker street rail
road, and he is to-day a driver of one
of those ‘bob tail’ ears, as you reporters
call them. The invalid son is now dead,
but the afflicted widow is still obliged
to accept assistance from the association
the scanty wages of her son being too
small to support the entire family.”
The shrinkage of values is the main cause
of this sort of distress. People’s property
has absolutely disappeared under such
circumstances, who, with the same estate
exactly, were called rich a few years
ago. A banker who had two hundred
thousand dollars in United States secu
rities in 1870, was saved from starving,
he and his family, last week, hy the pit
tance of three dollars a week allowed
him by this association. The superin
tendent went on to say:
“Only a short time ago we were called
upon to assist a son of a very distin
guished member of the United States
Senate. This gentleman was an edu
cated lawyer, and came to this city to try
to open a'practice. He finally got so re
dueed that he would have done any kind
of work willingly for an honest living,
but failed to get‘employment. At last
the association being unable to get any
work for him, obtained a pass and sent
him to bis home. Yet that gentleman
had proofs showing that he had been
graduated lrom college with the highest
honors, and letters of introduction from
prominent men in his State.
“We are now trying to get employ
ment for a highly educated physician
who has been reduced to poverty. He
was a surgeon in the army and speaks
five languages. lie has tried to get an
appointment in the Health Department
and lie has tried to get appointed as sur
geon on some line of steamers. Every
thing has failed, aud, although he is un
doubtedly a competent man, he is at
present obliged to rely upon the charity
of the people for support.
“Yes,” continued the superintendent,
“there has been a great change in the
class of people who seek help from the
association. I know of a family who
used to reside on JIadison avenue, living
in fine style. Now one of the daughters
is living out as nurse, and the rest of the
family are getting along as best they can.
They have been obliged to accept assist
ance from our association. Isay obliged,
for you know a great many people who
have once lived in luxury and suddenly
become reduced to poverty prefer to
starve almost before accepting help from
a charitable institution.”
Dr. Reyer, of Vienna, in his recent
work on the physics of volcanoes, has
applied the fact that various substances
in a state of fusion have a capacity for
absorbing gases, and tbe hypothesis that
beneath the crust of the earth there is a
highly heated crude mass of substances
—in such a way as to give a very satis
factory explanation of volcanic phe
nomena generally, and to throw light
upon the formation of granite, porphyritic
and vitreous rocks. The heated magma,
through infiltration, becomes charged
with liquid and gaseous materials, and
develops all the successive phases of
volcanic action. If Reyer s position is
tenable, the old method of basing the
classification of igneous rocks upon their
geological age must be abandoned.

FALL OF A RAILROAD BRIDGE.
A n Engine and Six Car. Precipi
tated to the Bottom of the Eto
wah.
CartersVILI.E, June 13.—Editor Morning
Sam : This morning, about eight o’clock, as
the Cherokee Railroad train from Rock-
mart was crossing the Etowah river, near
here, the bridge gave way and the engine
aud six cars of the train went down to the
bottom. No one was hurt more than a few
bruises.
The cause of the accident is simply that
the old bridge was so completely rotten
that it could hold up no longer.
Three men were on the engine, and that
they escaped unhurt seems miraculous.
The wreck now lies across the river, from
side to side, forming a complete dam.
The bridge was a single span, Howe truss,
220 feet long, the track running through it.
It will necessarily be several days before it

AGREEMENT BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND
RUSSIA.
London, June 14.—The Globe will print
to-day the full text of the agreement be
tween Great Britain and Russia, signed on
the 5th of May, confirming in detail the
term? of the agreement. Bulgaria is to be
divided into two provinces, one north of
the Balkans under a Prince, the other south
of the Balkans, but not touching the
.Egean Sea, with a Christian Governor
and a government similar to that
of an English colony. Turkish troops
are to permanently quit Bulgaria. England
will uot oppose the retrocession of Bessara
bia or the annexation of Batoum, but re
serves the right to discuss in the Congress
international arrangements relative to the
Danube. Russia promises not to further
advance her Asian frontier or to take in
demnity in lan l or interfere with the claims of
English creditors. The question of payment
to be discussed by the Congress, which will
also reorganize Thessaly, Epirus and the
other Greek provinces. Bayazid to be
ceded to Turkey, Turkey ceding the prov
ince of Katour to Persia. Russia agrees
that the passage of the Dardanelles and
Bosphorus shall remain in statu quo. Eng
land will suggest it to the Congress that
Europe should reorganize Bulgaria, and will
discuss the questions of Russian occupation
and the passage of troops through Kouma-
nia. The agreement reserves to Russia and
Eugland the right to raise and dis
cuss iu the Congress all questions
not included in its stipulations.
But if, after the discussion, Russia persists
in maintaining the treaty as modified by this
agreement, England will not dispute her
right to do so. There are some minor points
not mentioned in the foregoing summary,
namely, rectification of the western bounda
ries of Bulgaria on the basis of nationali
ties, the superior officers of the militia in
southern Bulgaria to be nominated by the
Porte with the approval of Europe, and the
Turkish promises of reform in Armenia not
to be exclusively to Russia, but to England
also.
THE SUCCESS OF THE CONGRESS THREATENED
BY PERSONAL AMBITIONS.
Berlin, June 14.—There is a danger
which justly engages the attention of promi
nent members of the Congress. The sim
ultaneous presence of Lord Beaconsfield
and Prince Gortschakoff is one, perhaps the
principal cause, which may derange all the
calculations. The latter is in a state of

Southern Enterprise.
In your May number reference was
made to the abundant fruit crop in the
South this season, and some points given
as to the disposition of same to the best
advantage of the growers. Gratified by
the interest being taken in this impor
tant subject, we venture a few sugges
tions :
The South has become celebrated for
its fine peaches, and during the present
month a large crop of this delicious fruit
will ripen and be sent to the great mar
kets of the East, w^re, until the pro
ducts of that section come into competi
tion, our Southern fruits command prices
which handsomely remunerate the ship
pers and producers.
Success in marketing fruit depends
upon its quality, manner of packing and
method of transportation. To secure
the best prices the fruit should be placed
in the market as early as possible, care
being taken to pluck only such as has
arrived at the proper stage of maturity,
and to assort it so that fruit of the same
size and grade may' be packed together.
What the consumers insist upon is s
good quality of fiuit delivered to them
neatly' packed, fresh and unbruised. To
meet* these requirements should be the
aim of all who wish to foster and en
courage fruit growing; but the labor aud
pains bestowed upon the production,
gathering and preparation of fruit for
shipment, will go for naught if a proper
mode of transportation is not used.
The question of transportation is one
of the principal features connected with
this business. In the first place rapid
transportation is a sine qua non for the
peach traffic with distant points, aud the
ordinary freight train and steamer sys
tems do'not offer the expedition required.
It has been supposed that fruit, to be
moved any distance in warm weather,
requires refrigeration, but experiment
has demonstrated that the various refrig
erating processes which have been invent
ed to preserve peaches in good condition
while in transit by slow methods of trans
portation are not successful.
The peach, a succulent, juicy fruit, is
of a substance and flavor so delicate that
the humidity' of some of the refrigerators
causes its rapid decomposition; others
reduce the temperature too far below the
natural degree of heat to which the fruit
is exposed when delivered, and though
preserving them en route, peaches so
carried, when brought iuto the normal
atmosphere, suffer such deterioration
from the semi-freezing they undergo that
their rapid decay causes forced safes, en
tailing a loss upon the shippers, w here a
profit would otherwise have been made.
What is needed is quick transporta
tion in properly ventilated cars kept en
route in an equable temperature and not
extreme refrigeration.
The Southern Express Company has
facilities particularly well adapted to the
business and have reduced to a minimum
the risks of the fruit spoiling en route,
and have made such arrangements as
enable the shippers to get ihe highest
prices obtainable by r prompt delivery of
their fruit in good condition at destina
tion.
If growers will kec-p posted, making
daily' shipments by express in quantities
easily handled, and care be taken to
place good fruit iu neat packages, regu
biting the supply according to the de
mand, there is no danger of overstocking
the market from the South during the
first month of ripening when she has
the monopoly, but this immense traffic
ill be regularly and indefinitely in
creased. Subscriber.
A Boastful IAlbor Disqrganizer.—
The Columbus (G.) Evening Dispatch
contains an interview w'lth 4 man who
last year took an active part in organ
izing the railroad strike. No name is
given, but the person is represented as
having traveled over every railroad in the
country' with a view of reorganizing on
solid basis for one more grand effort
to bring the railroad companies to
terms. He states that the labor organi
zations are now ready', and that, while
no definite time has been agreed upon as
yet, the strike will surely come; that
as soon as the employes on one road stop
work, all others will follow. The rail
road officials at this point think that the
person making these statements is one
“Jack Cooper,” who gained considerable
notoriety qn the line of the Baltimore
and Ohio BailYoqd last year. Cooper is
represented as a man with great per
suasive powers, and as seeking notoriety.
In addition to the railroad men, he is
confident that thousands of miners will
join in the movement, and that the
troubles of last year will sink Into insig
nificance In comparison with coming
events.
J) readful Tornado in China—
Frightful Loss of Life.—Our Consul
at Canton reports to the Department of
State that a terrible tornado passed over
that city on the 11th of April last,
causing great destruction of life and
property. The w'hirlwind came from
the sea in the form of a water spout, and
struck the shore on the foreign settle
ment of Stameen, oassing thence in a
northeasterly direction "through the
crowded part of the city of Canton. The
averaffe breadth of the track left by the
tornado is six hundred feet. Although
many houses were destroyed in the for
eign settlement, no life was lost there,
and the cases of remarkable escape from
death were many. The United States
Consulate was just beyond the track of
the storm, and no American property
was damaged. In the native city it is
estimated that ten thousand persons w'ere
killed. Owing to the narrowness of the
streets the work of removing the dead
bodies from the wreck makes slow pro
as, and will take several weeks to
accomplish. The weather was very hot
at last reports, and the fearful stench
from decomposing bodies has led many
to fear the outbreak of a pestilence.
New York World.
The people of Salisbury, Yt., have
been latxiring under great excitement for
several days over the mysterious disap
pearance of a gentleman named John M.
Hewlett. Mr. Hewlett is over seventy
years of age, and is one of the richest
men in the State. His disappearance
dates from Friday. May 17th, on which
day he left home without saying where
he was going or when he was coming
back. He took with him a revolver am
several hundred dollars. At first his
absence was not much noticed, as he had
been accustomed to absent himself for
several days at a time without leaving
behind any clue to his wherealiouts.
But as day after day passed without
bringing any tidings of the wanderer,
his wife aud friends became alarmed
and instituted inquiries. Sheriff Tripp,
of Addison county,and Detective Stearns,
of Rutland,were brought into the service,
and a thorough search was immediately
begun. Clues were k>on obtained, and the
missing man was finally traced to the
house of a couple of brothers named
Piper, at Salisbury Plains, some five or
six miles from Hewlett's home. He was
seen to go there on the day he left home,
but could not be traced beyond that
point. Mr. Hewlett had been there twice
before, it is said, for the purpose of look
ing over the premises with the intention
of loaning money on a mortgage. These
people at first strenuously denied that
Mr. Hewlett had been there, but after
wards admitted that he had, refusing to
tell where he was, saying that they had
promised solemnly not to disclose his
whereabouts. They said that he had
been upon the mountains about two
miles away, having hired Albert
Piper, the younger brother, to stay with
him. After this they claimed to have
carried him to Forestdale, some twelve
or fifteen miles distant, on the evening
of Sunday, May 26. On Friday, May
31, just two weeks after the day on which
the old gentleman disappeared, the Slier
iff, with Detective Stearns and several
Salisbury gentlemen, made a descent on
the Pipers’ house, and the place was
searched, but nothing found tending to
criminate the inmates. The Pipers were
closely questioned about Mr. Hewlett
and they owned that they knew where he
was, but that nothing could make them
disclose. Considering all these facts, and
also the unsavory reputation of the par
ties, a warrant was made out charging
them with the abduction of Mr. Hewlett,
and they were arrested and lodged in
Middlebury jail o .i Friday night last.
Though the warrant charged only abduc
tion there were grave suspicions that the
Piper brothers were implicated in foul
play to obtain Mr. Hewlett's money.
Saturday. June 1, Mr. Hewlett was
found on the highway alone, but in a
wretched condition, and had evidently
been subjected to very rough usage. He
was completely crazy; his hair had been
cut off close and his clothes were torn to
tatters. Besides all this his money was
gone. He was perfectly exhausted and
unable to tell how he came there or where
be had been. It is believed that he has
been secreted for the purpose of extort
ing money from him, and that when the
suspected parties were arrested the wife
of Charles Piper let him loose and sent
him out on the highway. The Pipers are
still in jail awaiting an examination,
which will take place Monday or Tues
day.
Dissecting Table Orgies.
Baltimore Bulletin.
The Cincinnati surgeons arc in some
danger of putting themselves in such a
false position as will be disastrous to
them. People, as a rule, are not capa
ble of appreciating either brutalities or
felonies done “for the cause of science,”
and, of course, will never tolerate such
things when the danger of their appli
cation comes home to everyjman, woman
and child in a community. Death, be
cause it is universal, touches ever} - per
son and commands all sympathies. Even
doctors themselves are probably not ad
dicted to regarding the bodies of their
own dead relations and friends in the
light of “subjects,” which may be stolen
conscientiously because not tendered to
tbe dissecting tables as free will offerings.
Two or three years ago there was a
significant controversy on the subject of
vivisection, in which the anatomists took
the highest sort of scientific grounds in
favor of refined promiscuous torture. In
that case, however, the moral sense of
the public refused to consider pleas
which rested upon inhumanity as a
foundation, aud in England vivisection,
except under some very rigid restrictions,
was put under the ban of the law.
In ever} - struggle of this sort between the
humane instincts of the race and the pre
tensions of science, humanity is bound
to win, and the anatomists will not lie
wise if they fail to recognize the fact.
Just ninety years ago, in 1788, occurred
one of the most serious riots ever known
in New York, in consequence of an at
tempt on the part of some reckless medi
cal student to defy the public sense of
decency in these matters. This was the
famous “Doctors’ mob,” which lasted
three or four days, during which the
city was thrown into a state of siege and
no physician’s life was safe anywhere. A
wanton student, in the dissecting room
of the college, exhibited the arm of a
dissected “subject” to some boys play
ing on the green below. One boy, more
curious than the rest, climbed a ladder to
get a nearer view, and the young Doctor
told him to “look at his mother's arm.”
The lad, it happened, had only re
cently lost his mother. He ran off to fell
his father, a stone mason, of what he had
seen and heard. The man, who was at
work on Broadway, went at once to his
wife's grave and found that it had really
been rifled. He ran at once to his fellow-
craftsmen, and. armed with tlipjr tools,
they all rushed in g body to the hospital,
gathering recruits as they went, until
they grew to be a formidable mob. The
doctors took the alarm and decamped,
and the mob broke into the dissecting
room, which they found fu’lof mutilated
“subjects.” fho sight filled them with
frenzv, and a hue and cry was at once
raised for the doctors, who were pursued
in every direction, their houses searched
and sacked, and the entire faculty driven
to seek refuge In the jail. The rioters
besieged them here, and Gov. Clinton
was forced to call out the military for
their protection. It was not until (Jttre
had been several battles fought in the
streets and a reign of terror for three
days that the mob finally yielded and
retired. In these fights many prominent
citizens were wounded. Amongst others
was Major General Baron von Steuben,
of whom Gov. Clinton used to relate
the funny story that just as he was
struck he was earnestly remonstrating
with the Governor against ordering the
militia to fire on the people, but as soon
as the stone cut him in the foretiead he
cried lustily, even as he fell: “Fire, Gov
ernor, fire!'’
There have been several riots of this
sort and from kindred causes in Euro
pean cities, and the great anatomist Ye-
salius came near losing his life in the
Spanish Inquisition because the charge
had been brought against him of dissect
ing a “ subject ” who came to life under
the scalpel. These facts go to show that
it is not safe to be brutal even for the
cause of science.

The Orangemen of Canada have deter
mined to have a monster procession in

have resolved to prevent them if they
possibly can. The Catholic Union is a

New York and other parts of the United
States, The object of tbe gathering pur
ports to be to bold a grand picnic on
that day, but the date gives significance
to the proposed picnic, and the real
object of tbe meeting is said to be to
prevent at all hazards the Orangemen
from walking on the 12th. Several of
the organs of the Catholic Union in
Canada have published articles opposiug
this proposed picnic, on the grounds that
its only purpose is to prevent the
Orangemen from parading.

Secretary Sherman’s Sugar Tariff
Bill.
Baltimore Sun.
The following is the draft of the bill
to regulate tbe sugar tariff submitted to
the Committee on Ways aud Means by
Secretary Sherman, but which has not
yet been acted on by the committee:
“Be it enacted by the Senate and Houne
of lteprerentatires of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That, in
the classification of imported sugars for
assessment of duty, any sugars which
shall be found to be not above No. 7,
Dutch standard, in color, but which shall
test by tbe polariscope above 87 and not
above !)2 degrees of saccharine strength
shall pay the rate of duty chargeable on
sugar above No. 7 and not Shove No. 10,
Dutch standard, in color, and any sugars
which shall be not above No. 10, Dutch
standard, in color, which shall test on
polarization over 92 degrees of saccharine
strength shall pay the rate of duty ap
propriate to sugars above No. 10 and not
above No. 13, Dutch standard, in color.
Although Secretary Sherman has for
mally recommended to the committee the
adoption of the polariscope test, it is
questionable whether, as the importers
claim, the present difficulties would not
be increased by following his advice.
Professor Henry, in his letter to Secre
tary Sherman, said: “If the polarimuter
should be adopted as the measure of the
value of sugar, a supply of these instru
ments should be obtained from Germany
and their use taught to tbe appraisers by
a person thoroughly acquainted with the
theory and practice of the instrument.
The accuracy of the instruments them
selves should also be tested, and the ap
praisers from time to time be examined
as to their skill in the use of the instru
ment. " Here it is shown that an instru
rnent would be put in the hands of tbe
appraisers of which they absolutely
know nothing.
A prominent member of the Ways and
Means Committee is of the opinion that
action on the sugar tariff is very uncer
tain.
Dr. Linderman, Director of the Mint,

Insane in a Pulpit.
-Veil- York Sun.
Victor Smith, Dr. Shackelford’s assist
ant in the Protestant Episcopal Church
at Eighty-second street and Fourth ave
nue, while reading the first lesson a week
ago Siuiday, was much agitated and his
voice trembled. The chapter was from
Joel, and it brought to his mind the sub
ject of tbe entire union of the Christian
Church, which has occupied much of
his attention of late years. At the
close of the words, “Here endeth
the first lesson,” the congregation
were startled by seeing Mr. Smith
spring into the ailse shouting “Oh,
Lord, the time has come. I want to tell
you about the Lord. ” Some of the ladies
of the congregation rushed out of the
church, others fainted, and the vestry
men hurried to the chancel, fearing vio
lence. Dr. Shackelford spoke to Mr.
Smith, asked him to be quiet, and was
instantly obeyed. As Mr. Smith dropped
on his knees‘and said: “Father, I obey
you,” some of tbe vestrymen lifted him
up and led him into an adjoining room,
where his mother soon followed and
asked: “Don’t you know me?” Here-
plied: “Certainly I know you, mother,
and I love you dearly; kiss me, moiher.”
He was taken home and there cared for
for several days, but, in order that he
might have the best of attendance, he
was taken to an asylum on Thursday last.
Dr. Shackelford said that Mr. Smith
was not violent, but only in an over
wrought state or mind in consequence of
overwork at his last charge in St. John's
Church, Waterbury, Connecticut. He
was well educated, and his friends re
garded him as a man of great promise.
Mr. Smith was firmly convinced that the
time is not far distant when all branches
of the Christian church, Catholic, Rilu
alisi, ami all denominations of Protes
tants. will be united and be known as
the Church of Christ. Personally he
was ft great favorite, and Dr. Shackelford
expresses the fullest confidence that he
wilt bo speedily restored to health through
the aid of rest and medical skill.
Frozen Mutton.—The steamer Para
reoently arrived at Havre from StJ
icholas, on the river Platte, with a cargo
of five thousand five hundred carcasses of
sheep, which, it is stated, although
shipped on October 7th, were in the
same condition as when placed on board.
Immediately on being killed and dressed
the sheep w'ere bung up in the chamber
of the vessel especially constructed for
the purpose, and kept at a temperature
of from twenty-six to twenty-eight de
grees, the clement employed in refrigera
tion being ammonia. After a six months’
voyage the carcasses presented the ap
pearance of marble, and it Is asserted
that on being thawed out the meat will
keep fresh for eight or ten days.
Quite a number of St. Louis people
have been poisoned, none fatally, how
ever, by eating white fish which came
from Chicago. The doctor, the heaith
commissioner, employed to investigate
the matter, considers the fish detrimental
to the public health, as it perils the health
and life of some to eat it, while others
may partake of it with comparative im
punity. The Board of Health have taken
the subject into consideration, and will
inspect the next consignment before al
lowing it to be sold.
A Foot Measure.—Senator Patterson
has introduced a bill to offer a reward for
a foot measure which shall illustrate

not have a profound or lively interest in
this mathematical speculation. A foot
measured in such a direction and with
such force as to eject from the Senate
any man who has bought his seat therein
would be much more to the purpose.—
