NEw WAY OF PRESERVING MILK
Gay Lussac has proved that milk kept
from the air is preserved for long time
perfectly good. Profiing by this expert
ence, says the London Mechanics Maga-
zine, Mr.. Mabrun warns the milk in a
moderate temperature in tin vessel, fur
nished with tube Of lead, to expel the
air; then the tube is compressed, and the
orifcc is closed with solder. When the
milk is used at the end of several months
it will be found desirable TO stir up with
It the cream which is formed on the up-
per part of the liquid. Mr.. Mabrun, hav-
ing laid this process before the Academy
of Sciences for their examination, the
committee report that milk thus preserved
after six months still possesses all the
properties OF fresh milk. A prize of l.
500 francs has been awarded to Mr. Ma
brun.

that it is the best they ever saw. As
compared with Scotch pig, it is finer and
more even in grain and vastly more diff

Foul Wool AND A Foul TRIcK.--
We have it on good authority that a
couple of capitalists of Salem, who
have been purchasing wool around
here, have recently ascertained that
they Aave had the "wool pulled over
their eyes" most beautifully. II seems
that they purchased large quantity
of wool, and shipped it to San Fran
cisco, expecting to make something
on their outlay; but in due time let
ters from the firm TO whom they ship
ped came informing them that their
wool was so foul that they could not
receive it. StIaightway one of the
gentlemen went to San FRANCISCO, and
set several Cinnamon at work assort-
ing and cleaning the wool. In some
cases the, wool in the middle of the
sack had been wet as much as it would
bear; in others large rocks had been
thrown in; but the most common
cheat was the large quantity ofsheep.
ordure mixed unfortunately through
the entire mass. In some eases the
ordure weighed as much as the fleece
We call this pretty sharp practice,
and anything but creditable to those
practising it. The wool-buyers, in
stead of making a nice thing, lost be.
tween three and four thousand dollars
by the opcration.

the best things Mr.. Sumner has told us about
thc c6irny; for as he very sensibly REMARKS,
/" the early RUSSIANS here were not Pilgrims"
and Russian Americca has never been celebrated
as a school of the Writes: OF the EsquimauX
and Indians, quick, intelligent, ingenious, apt
at learning, and ready to copy the gefpemepts
of civilization, he draws a rosy picture, into
which. however, he throws some pretty dark
shadows for the savages, it appears, are all
shareholders, and many of them warlike and
cruel. while there are stories OF cannibals IN
the interior.
We may condense Mr.. Summers long essay
ON the climate by saying that owing to various
causes, and especially the thermal current of
the Pacific, it is very much milder both in
Simmer and in Winter than that of regions
in the same latitude on the Atlantic coast
The temperature of Sitlla in Winter is almost
exactly like that of New York; but the almost
perDetual rains which prevail there, with the
foos and dampness characteristic OF the climate,
must convert every inhabitant into what Mr.
MantaliDi was so fond of describing as a
"demned damp, moist, disagreeabe body
The forests are so wet that they will not burn
tbe houses are soaked with moisture; and
sometimes there are not more than forty fine
days in whole year.
In the matter of vegetation, the chief product
of the territory is pine trees. There Is also
grass La PGrOusc, who visited the country IN
lat $50 81, was delighted to find celery, sorrel,
chicory. and all the other ingredients OF a
French bill of fare" Wheat, rye, and orchard
fruits, we regret to say, will not grow; but
there is some chance for barley and cabbages,
while potatoes are not unknown. The list OF
mineral products includes silveF gold, copper,
lead, coal, and perhaps iron; but very little Is
known about the minerals, and of most OF them
il is uncertain whether they exist under such
conditions as to render their working profitable
The great sources of wealth are the fur trade
and the fisheries, for the fullest attainable in
formation concerning which we must refer our
readers to the latter part of Mr.. Summers
spcech. He has a very fine episode on the
moral and political influence Of fishing, and a
descriptive catalogue Of some of the principal
members of the animal kingdom, both of which
we have been reluctantly compelled to omit.
Mr.. Sumner closes with two or three practi-
cal suggestions He proposes that the country
shall be called Alaska; that the calendar shall
be reformed and the days of the week econ
structed so that we may have our Sundays cor
respond all through our territory; that explor-
ing and surveying parties shall he sent out /;
and that the usual blessings of Republican in-
sttutions, free schools, Ct cGterd, shall be ex-
tended TO the Esquimaux in due course of time
and law. To all which, since we must have
Russian America, we readily assent.

MR. SUMNER ON RUSSIAN AliERIcA

Mr. Charles Sumner has made public his
speech on the Russian American treaty. dcliv-
cred in executive session of the United States
Senate. If printed in full it would occupy
about two and a-half pages of TIE TRIBUNE.
We have therefore consulted the comfort Of
our readers 10y rcpubshing only the most inn
pOrtant parts OF IT,
Mr.. Sumner is not able to say when the idea
of this cesson first took shape. lie has heard
that il was rs long ago az the administration
of Mr.. Polk He knows that advances were
made to the Russian Government in the time
of Mr.. Buchanan, when the sum of $5,0O0,O00
was offered but the Gar thought it not enough,
and the matter was allowed TO drop. The re-
viyal of the subject seems to have been owing
to the efforts of the people of Washington
Territory to obtain licenses to fish in Russian
waters and of certain persons in California
Company to secure from the Imperial Govern
ment the trading franchise now held by the
Russian American Company, but soon about TO
expire. Negotiations respecting these privileges
had been carried on Tor some time through our
State Department, when an offer suddenly came
from st. Petersburg to sell out the whole con-
ccIn, and Mr.. Seward promptly concluded the
bargain The considerations which prompted
the Secretary of State to this ready acceptance
of the Cars proposal are summed up by Mr..
Summer as follows: T. The possession of Rus
sian America will be a good thing for the
Pacific coast, and will help us in securing the
trade of the East. 2. We have always had a
passion for extending our domain. 3. Our buy
ing this land will contribute to the spread of
Republican institutions. a. 1t will bother the
British. 8. 1t will please the Russians. These
reasons are not all as good as might be, but
they are the best to be had and having dilated
upon them at some length, Mr.. Sumner pro-
ceeds to examine at much greater length the
character and value of our new acquisition.
The territory is under tho absolute control
of the great Russian American Trading Com
pany. The receipts of this company dur
ing the ten years from 1850 to 1860
amounted to e,52S55l silver roubles, $6,4eG,-
Alb of our money, nearly one half being
derived from the tea-trafc, and over one
quarter from commercial licenses. Its expen-
dtures during the same period were 7,l73,9n
roubles, leaving 1,3j4,GQ roubles, or about ST.
0l7,000, to be divided among the shareholders
What capital the company now have invested
in their mammoth adventure we do not know;
but in 1888 it was about S2,000,0OO; and on this
sum the dividends we have mentioned would
be equivalent to only per cent per annum.
The population probably does not exceed
$4,000, all told; and of these the Russians and
half-breeds number about $500. That there
are so few Of these settlers is perhaps ono OF

NnMLNArLNG C1NDLDATES.

The Philadelphia Loyal League have wisely
and in good time offered premium of 500
for the best essay that may be rendered ION
"the legal organization of the people To select
candidates for Office :" with minor premiums
of $780, $500 and 800, for the second, third,
and fourth in merit.
These offers will doubtless elicit several good
essays; yet we wish the field of inquiry had
been made far broader. How shall those citi
"zens who desire to vote for competent up
right Legislators and rulers, and none Others
"achieve their endl How shall they achieve
" such an understanding or concert that they
"will be enabled to combine their strength, and
Z" not be constrained either to throw away their
"votes OH candidates who stand no chance of
" election, or to vote for men i'll whom they
"have no confidence and whom they support
"Only because they must ?" There are few
problems now to he solved of greater practical
Importance.
Each of us is now virtually compelled to vote
for candidates in whose integrity and capacity
we feel no confidence. There may be a very
good name at the head of our ballot, with two
or three more scattered through it; but of
three -fOurths Of those named thereon we either
know nothing or no good. How shall we mend
thisl
Our advice briefly, would be:
1. Let us elect by popular vote fewer officers
than now, leaving more to be appointed.
2. Let us discard, for the most part the
swindliDg machinery of Regular Nominations"
and call by public requsiton upon fit persons
to stand as candidates for elective offices.
