Man Proposes to Make the Decent
OF Niagara Falls i'm Life Boat.
from the Detroit Free Press

Since the days of the Blondin fiuor,
when men and women stood aghast at
the foolhardy daring of the great rope
walker, in the performance of his re
markable feats at the Niagara Falls, no
such excitement has been known. A
project has recently been started, how
ever, which if carried into execution, will
eclipse any feat of daring ever yet attem
ted.
Charles Ockford, Of this city, the sixty
hourskater, has conceived the idea of
masking the perlious passage over the
Falls of Niagara IN an India rubber life
boat OF peculiar construction. A few
weeks ago the idea suggested itself to his
mind, and. upon communicating it to
some Eastern gentlemen, it was propos-
ed $50, 030 be raised to induce him to
make the undertaking. He accordingly
perfected his scheme, and the contract
for building the boat has been let to the
Goodyear Rubber Company for $1,000
The boat will be an oblong, with mean
diameter of eight feet, six inches thick
at the top and sides and three feet thick
at the bottom A shaft Of the same ma
terial will extend from side to side In the
center, on which will be swung on piv-
OF seat, to which the adventurous occu-
pant will be fastened Opening at the
top will be an aperature sufficiently large
for him to get inside, after which it will
be filed with air and closed up 1t is
calculated that sufficient air can be re,
tanned to sustain life about twenty min
utes A small cable will be attached to
the ball by which it will be lowed after
the decent shall have been made, for
which purpose parties will be stationed
in boats Immediately below the falls.
Tn model of this novel Graf is now in this
city, and there is no doubt that the attempt
tocarry this stan Ting projectinto execution
will be made during the present season,
Mr.. Ockfor3 is quite confident that he
shall succeed, but the chances for success
certainly look dubious. Should he sue
coed, Mr.. Sydney Doty, of Pontiac, will
also undertake the same feat.

The Kentucky papers tell the story of
conjugal disagreement of unusual inter
est which has just occurred in that state.
The couple were every way suited to each
other, both lii character and social stand
ing, and after prosperous courtship,
were married. The same day they arriv-
ed at Louisville, on their wedding tour
The happy bridegroom went out in the
evening with few young fellows, and in
the excess of joy came home drunk.
He found the door closed against him,
while stern voice from within convey
ed the startling information that his bride
would return home the next morning.
At the same time she rang the bell and
directed the servant to provide the
young gentleman with separate apart
ment. The next forenoon, when he came
again to his senses, he learned that his
wife had taken the early train homeward.
She returned to her parents, and refuses
to live with her man who could thus de-
sert her. Every sensible person will say
that he is served right.

The Milwaukee Ne,os affects to be
considerably shocked at the omission in
the Republican platform of any allusion
to the Constitution. 1t the Republican
party had ever organized rebellion for
the overthrow OF the Constitution, it
might have been proper to have inserted
in its platform a pledge of fidelity to
that fundamental and paramount law.
But having always been true to the Con-
stitution and the Uuion, and having at
the head of their ticket man who stands
pre-eminent as the defender of the Con
stitutlor against the armed hordes of
Democracy who rose to destroy it, there
was no need that the Republicans should
affirm their steadfast attachment to it.
When the Democracy hold Convention
however, we think it would be proper for
them to pledge themselves hereafter to
open the Constitution. and especially to
9iye assurance that they intend hence
forth to abide by the decision of the bal
lot box.

MEAT-SUPPLIES FROM FOREIGN
COUNTRIES.

The continued high price of butcher
meat has led many to think of the posi-
bility Of obtaining supplies from distant
parts of the world. The pastures of
South America, of Texas, of Australia,
are covered with flocks and herds, of
which the flesh is of little value there,
because there are not people to consume
more than small part oft, whilst here
there are people enough ready to con-
sumo it, if they could only get it in good
condition and at moderate price. We
can hardly expect, whatever may be said
Of the ex.ravagant prices demanded by
butchers, that the price Of meat will be-
com low, if we are to depend only on
the ordinary sources of supply, for they
are evidently insufficient. Can we not
then obtain supplies from new sources9
Il may safely be assumed that there
are large supplies of food, both of farina-
ceous food and of butcher-meat, ready
for our use in foreign countries, if we are
willing to import and use them. Let US
confine our attention at present to the
subject ofmeat-supplies. 1t would be of
great advantage to Australia, La Plata,
Uruguay. and many other countries, TO
export their beef and mutton. Oxen are
killed for the sake of their hides and
tallow; sheep often for their tallow alone,
the flesh being thrown away because there
is no market for it. Is it possible for us

their estates conducted by administrators
they will not pay, why won't they try the
system of farming. The system is not
unknown. 1t has been tried by Tie Gov
Srnment and has been found to answer, it
has been tried by at least one private
owner Of estates and the result has been,
as far as we have been made to under
stand, that instead Of getting nothing
from their estates they get a rent OF
$4,000 a year. The system of farming
has this advantage that it gives the farmer
an interest in making the property pro-
duce as much as possible, and the owner
can by a well-framed contract easily se-'
cure his lands against being exhausted.
Such a system is nothing new, but one
'practised in every part of Europe. Why
should it not be carried out here Ii
we cannot get resident proprietors, the
mex best thing would be independent
farmers. IF people will own land, with
out working it themselves, they do best
in being satisfied with a rent. They cap
not expect both rent and profit. If they
do so, they are likely to receive neither
the one, nor the other. If an absentee
proprietor would rent his estate at S pr.
ct. of its value, he would be getting a
much higher rent on the land than is obtain
ed anywhere on agricultural land in Eu-
rope, and we are sure he would be getting,
on an average Of years, a greater and
more certain revenue than he gets under
The present system. On the other hand
we believe that any able planter farming
an estate, at a rent of s pr. ct. on its
value, would he able not only easily 10
pay such q rent, but make money by the
contract. But then he must do as farm
ers do all over the rest of the world. He
mast be his own manager. And let us re-
member that, what@with steamers, and
submarine telegraphs, we can no longer
expect to occupy an exceptional position;
we will have to conform to the general
laws. If we do not, We will be all the
worse off for it.

ness, it's ugly hide-like appearance, and,
above all, it's peculiar favour, which per-
vaded every soup and stew made Of it,
unless it was carefully pared--a laborious
process, but successful-the favour resid-
ing only in it's surface, which appears to
be affected by the atmosphere, like that
Of cheese.
A most convenient method of making
the beef of distant countries available for
our use, is by preparing from it Lsebig's
Ertract of Meat, and this is now prose-
cuted to a considerable extent. 1t is un-
necessary to say anything in commenda-
ton of an article so we'll known and SO
highly esteemed. One pound of it con-
tains almost all the really nutritive matter
OF ihirty-four pounds Of flesh, and most
excellent soups and sauces can be made
of-it. Large quantities of Liebig's Extract
are now brought from South America, and
it may be expected that both demand and
supply will rapidly increase. Meat juice
which might be imported in any desirable
quantity. and of the most excellent QUA
lily. Nothing of this kind, however, can
serve all the purposes of meat itself; al
though, if brought to this country in larger
quantities, and offered at a smaller price .
than hitherto, which they probably we'll
might be, they would certainly find pur-
chasers, and might form an important ADJ
dition to our food supplies.
Is it impossible 10 bring the meat itself,
the beef and. mutton of Australia and
South America, fresh, and at such a price
as to make it useful? Various methods
have been proposed for this purpose, and
partially carried into effect. The most
successful, hitherto, has been the impor-
tation of the meat in tins, hermletically
sealed, or, in other words, soldered up SO
as to exclude the atmosphere, in the same
way that preserved provisions of various
kinds are prepared for ships stores. Beef
thus preserved has been brought in large
quantities from Australia, and sold at a
retail price of sevenpence or sevenpence-
halfpenny a pound, which, as there are no
bones in it, is much below the market
price of beef that has long prevailed. The
importation of it is rapidly increasing, as
it meets with ready acceptance in the
market. 1t has become a considerable
article of commerce, and seems likely to
become a very large one* The only faults
10 be found with this Australian beef are
the excess of fat in som of the tins, and
that the beef is too much boiled. Both
these faults are capable Of being correct
ed the first completely, and, the second
partially. Fat being more valuable in
Australia than the best parts of the beet,
there is therefore no temptation 10 put
too much of it in the tins and we are In
formed that those who prepare the meat
are now-in consequence of a recommen-
dalton received from the Food Committee
of the Society of Arts in London-careful
to restrict the boiling to the smallest
amount consistent with the proper pre-
servatien of the meat.
1t may be interesting to our readers to
know a little more of this Australian en-
t~erprise. 1t is confined, we believe, as
yet, to one place in Acknowledgements,
on the Clarence River, New South Wales.
1t was originated by Mr.. John Meal. OF

dition that we can use it, and cheaper
than we now get beef and mutton from
the SHAMELESS at home?
The great difficulty to be overcome is
the bringing OF the meat in good condi-
ton TO this country "a difficulty far
greater than is experienced in the case OF
farlnaceous food. Meat sailed by the or
binary process has been imported from
v%enient, or is not possible, to import live
cattle and sheep. Even Shetland sends
US no small quantity of excellent sailed
beef; and sailed mutton Of the very best
quality has begun 10 come from Iceland.
But sailed meat is not exactly what we
want. 1t is an important addition to our
food-SuppIies, but fresh meat is more to
be desired, more nutritious as well as
more palatable; and as to the vast supplies
which Australia and South America might
yield, the ordinary process of sailing
seems to be out Of the question. The
heat of the climate is unfavourable to it,
and so is the length of the voyage.
There is another method of Sailing beet,
however, which has begun to be tried.
The farmers of Uruguay and the Argen-
tine Republic design to enter our markets
with beef and mutton saIted by the Nor
gan process. Cargoes of very good meat,
thus sailed, have been imported although
the meat thus preserved has not yet be-
come a considerable article of commerce,
and is only, as it were, seeking its place
in the market. The process is the inven-
ton of DR.. Morgan of Dublin. 1t has
been already described in our article,
Meat for the Million 10Th January 1867.
We need only remind our readers that
the process consists of the injection of
brine at the heart, Immediately on the
slaughter Of the animal. the brine so in
jected, rapidly permeating all parts. No
one who has seen the meat sailed by the
Morgan process can doubt that the result
is good. The almost instantaneous salt
ing prevents decomposition in the process,
and it is brought to this country in as
good condition as any salt meat can be,
ii cheap and wholesome article of food.
We have seen mutton sailed by the Nor
gan process eagerly purchased by the
poor in Edinburgh, the price being only,
if we remember rightly, threepence per
pound. The only fault is, that 1T is too
salt, which perhaps might be prevented
by using a weaker brine.
1t has sometimes occurred to US as re-
markable, that in connection with the i'm
portation of meat from distant countries,
and particularly those in which quick
sailing is requisite, nothing has been said
of another process, long known, but never,
hitherto, much practised-salting by the
air-pump. The meat to be salted is put
into an air-tight vessel, from which the
air is extracted by an air-pump; and a
stop-cock being opened, brine flows in
from another vessel in which it is con-
tanned. The muscular ibres being much
separated by the extraction of the air, the
whole substance Of the meat is lmmedl-
ately penetrated by the brine, and sailing
is at once accomplished. Meat sailed in
this way is more tender than that sailed
by the ordinary method. The process,
it will be observed, is similar to that of
the kyanising of wood.
