IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
New Way Of Keeping Fish, Meat
and Poultry Fresh.

A getleman in Gloucester, Mass, has
received letters patent for an article
which, IL il does all that is claimed for
il, is destined TO produce an entire Fevo-
luton in the fishing and provision busI-
ness. The article IN question is soluble
IN vster, something similar to salt, and
has the oeeHliar property OF keeping
ash, meat, poultry, ETC., perfectly fresh
Tor any length of time. 1t Is almost en-
tirely devoid Of smell or taste, and sci
eDtitic men who have examined the ar
ticle pronounce IL q success and wonder
Why some one did not discover its re-
meFkable properties before. The Giou-
eester Advertiser says: % We have seen
cod which have been in this solution
seven weeks, and the flesh was ss hard
and the general appearance OF the fish
equally as fresh and good as il it had
just been taken from the water A
p0rgie which had been in soak ten weeks,
and a haddCck fOu- weeks, presented the
same remarkable appearance. The fish
were cut IN our presence, and the flesh
was as solid and as good IS any fresh fish
that may be found in the market. II
this discovery should prove as expected,
salt and ice, which are large items of ex-
pense in preserving provisions, will be
superseded, and poultry, meat and fish
can be carried to every part Of the world
in fresh state. Sailors will no longer
complain Of salt horse and seurvy will

any minister cf the Gospel who will

this runaway match " business has

BEAD SEA OF ss0xO.
A Remarkable BOdY Of Water
in tiIe Great Basin.

From the A ustin RevsiIle
There are many things in the Great
Basin, or along IFS rim, which excite the
interest OF travellers. A correspondent
asks Us to tell him whether Mono Lake
is actually the dead sea 4" it is repre-
sentsd to be. an told that lis bitter
waters aTs fatal to ali living things. If
you can, will you please say something
sbaut that singular body of water?
We gather from the " Report on the
Mineral Rest urces Ct the States ard Ter
Fitcries west OF the Rocky Mountains"
that Mono Lgks lies ten miles southwest
OF the dividing line between California
and Nevada, a1d is about fourteen miles
long and nine wide. II has never been
sounded, but trial said to hare been
made with line OF three hundred feet,
failed 10 reach bottom. By chemical
snSlysis gallon Of the water, weighing
eight pounds, was found to contain 1909
grains Of solid matter, consisting priDci-
palIy of chloride Of sodium, carbonate of
SODA, sulphste Of coda, borax and silica.
These substances render the water so
acrid and DSuse8ting that It is uafis for
drinking or even bathing. Lee sther i'm
mersed ia it is soon destroyed by its cor
rosiVe properties, ard no snimai-not
even tish or frCs-ean exist in the
water FOR mcre than short time. The
only thing able to live within OF upon
the wsters Of this lake Is q species Of fly,
which springs from lar ae bred in it's bo-
som, and sitter an ephemersl life dies,
and collecting on the surface, Is dFifted
to the shore, where the remains collect
in vast quantities, and are fed upon by
the ducks or gathered by the Indians,
with whom they are q staple article Of
food. Nesting under the eastern water
shed of the Sierra, Mono Lake receives
several considerable tributaries sEd,
although destitute Of any outlet, such is
the sridity ef the atmosphere that it is
always KEEP at nearly a uniform level
by the process of evaporation. So dense
and sluggish is the water rendered
through approximation with various
salts and other foreign matters, that
only the strongest winds raise q ripple
on It's surface. As the Sierra in
this neighborhood reaches nearly its
greatest altitude, the scenery about Mono
Lake is varied and majestic, some parts
OF it being at the same time marked by
most cherries and desoiale aspect. The
bitter and fatal waters OF this lake render
it literally dead sea. and its surround

THE aEOLLY MAGUsRES' -
They SigG aIize thei= Advent in
the United Ssai eS by murder.
ThFy RiEl n MAN at his Own
TreShuEd.

A few days sgo we published a dispatch
briefly aliudiBg to the murder OF Mr..
Douglas Love, By unknown persons, at
the works Of the Central Mining Com
pany, 10 AllsghsDy county, Mi, on the
night Of the 9Th inst. Mr.. Love was 3
T" boss miner, 'bhad in his hands the en-
ployment OF two or three hundred men,
by whom, it is said, he was greatly res
pected and beloved for his upfightness
and kindness. He had often received
anonymous threatening notes, supposed
to co le from PeTsoDs to whom be had
refused employment, but never paid any
attention TO them. A correspondent Of
the Baltimore AmerjcGa thus graphical
ly describes the circumstances Of the
murder:
" It was about seven o'clock when, as
as Mr.. Love ami his family were enjoy
ing the calm Tepose OF Sabbath eve,
knock came 10 the back door of their
dwelling. The nephew Of MIR. Love,
boy OF about fifteen years OF age, went
to the door, and in the gloom saw the
outlines OF two large men, one Of whom
asked TO see his uncle. The lad entered
the room, and informed his uncle that
two men wanted TO see him, Efe told
the boy to tell them to so19e in, hnt they
replied to this invitation Chat they were
in great hurry, as they we're going to
Fretsburg, and would detain Mr. Love
bus for moment If be would come to
the door. Thus urged, Mr.. Love rose
from his seat, left the EN- braces of his
little children, who were clustered around
his knees, sad went to meet his
cruel death. As he resebed the door
the men exclaimed, You're the man
We want and both fred their pistols at
him simultaneously and fed. Oae bali
took effect Ia the left bresstof the unhap-
py man, ssverlng oneof the larger arteries
OF the heart. He uttered no exclana-
tion, but strange to say, retained suf-
fieient vitality to walk back to hissitting-
room, open drawer, and take therefrom
large pistol, with which he returned
toward the door, as Il 70 meet his assail-
ants. His wife, however, in her alarm,
had rushed TO the door and closed it.
Mr.. Love then returned to the reom and
sunk down upon q couch, and addressing
his wife, gasped out, " Margaret, l sm
goHe," and ST the same moment, grasp
Ing tse hand OF one of his little children,
died almost Immediately. The sound OF
the firearms drew together, in few
moments. quite crowd from the ajja-
cent neighb0thood, and it Is supposed the
murderers themselves must have mingled
ia the crowd, IS no one was seen running
away from the scene OF the murderu
The correspondent offers the following
as one explanation CT the cause of this
most atrocIous murder:
