REFRIGERATING CAUSE.-THE experimen

REFRIGERATING CARs.-The experiment
tried year ago OF bringing fresh animal food
from the West in refrgerating cars has this
season been repeated with very great success, a
car from Illinois having arrived in New iork
city on the 18th instant laden with beet, NUT
ton, poultry, etc., most of which was slaugh'
tered on the 4th and 5th Of the month, when
the thermometer ranged from ninety to one
hundred Degrees and which reached its destl-
nation 10 perfectly sweet and juicy condition.
The external appearance of this car Is similar
to an ordinary freigh car. At each end OF the
car partition forms spacious ice box, each OF
which is filled with ice placed on a crate IN
such a manner as to ALLOW current OF cold air
to circulate constantly through a fue near the
top of the car over the ice down to the floor,
then up among the poultry, mutton, and beet,
and again around through the fue and over the
ice. The circulation of air is effected by a
large ventiator. wheel placed horizontally at the
top of the car near the middle. The forward
movement OF the car keeps this wheel III mo,
ton, which, in turn, produces a current of cold
air constantly from the ice to the meat in one
direction, and from the meat to the ice IN
another direction. By this means every piece
of meat is kept alta uniform temperature OF
about forty degrees during the entire passage
of about six days and nights, while the car is
exposed by day to the tervid heat OF the sum-

From Europe.

LONDON. July 29,-The main points OF the
act for the protection of Americans citizens
abroad, which was passed just before the ad-
i ;i Of Congress of the United States,
were telegraphed to London, and are published
in the morning journals; =,
The bill is sharply and unfavorably criticised
by the English press, though its passage does
not appear to excite either surprise or anger.
The journals, of all shades of opinion, affect to
consider the bill a partizan measure required
by exigencies Of the November elections, but
think this action of Congress will not tend to
promote success of American negotiation with
foreign Powers to secure by treaty the estab-
Ishment of the principles of nationality Oh
which the bill is based. =. -..:.- -. :.
PARIS, July 29.-The Corps Legislatif hay

al merit, or obscure origin n matter Of
personal reproRch. A man who is not
ashamed OF himself need not be asham-
ed of his early condition. 1t did hap
pen to me to be born in n log cabin,
raised among the snow drifts OF New
Hampshire, at q period so early that
when the smoke rose from its rude
chimney and curled oYer the frozen hills,
there was no similar evidence Of q white
mans h%abitation between it and the
settlements on the rivers oil Canada.
Its remains still exist. | make it an

to teach them the hardships endured by
the generation before them. | love 10
dwell on the tender recollections, the

weep TO think that none Of those who
inhabited it are now among the living;
and if ever | fail in affectionate veucra-
ton for him who raised il and defended
it against savage violence and destruc-
ton, cherished all domestic comforts
beneath its roof, and, through the fire
and blood Of seven years revolutionary
war, shrunk from nc toll, no sacrifice 10
serve his country, and TO raise his chill
dren to a condition better than his own,
may my namo and the name of my pos
terity be blotted from the memory OF

BRIDAL TEsTs.-How thankful our
"well educated young ladies Of this
day must feel that they do not live
among such a half.civilized people as
the HISTORIANS must be, from the fol.
lowing account Of n Of their wedding
customs: After the marriage ceremony
has been performed, the wedding party
is taken in wagons to the house Of the
bridegroom's parents. When the
second wagon, in which the bride is
seated alone, reaches the gate opening
into the yard iu which the house is sit
uated. it is halted, and the bridegroom's
mother comes to meet it, with n baby
aud three suits Of baby clothes in her
arms. She throws the child and the
clothes into the arms Of the bride, who
is required to undress and dress the
baby three times in the presence Of her
mother-in-law, who watches every
movement, as only u mother-in-law can
watch a daughter-in.law. If the newly
made bride does not perform the opera.
ton TO the satisfaction OF her severe
Judge, she is considered unfit for the po-
sition ; the wagon is turned round, and
she is taken back home for further in
struction, and the poor bridegroom is
to live in single b~lsssedness
until bis wife is educated up to the
proper standard.
