On Monday evening about 6fty gem
tlemen assembled at the Everett House
at the invitation OF Prof. John Gamgee,
Of London. TO apply the test of the pal
ate to the results Of new process in
vented by him for the preservation Of
meats. The party on being ushered
into the dining room found a neat re-
past before them, and among their
dishes, as set forth in the bill of fare,
mutton in various styles served up
from careasses slaughtered three and
four months ago. This mutton coming
from England, was no doubt Of choice
quality; but all seemed to admit that
| it was sweet and palaAble, lacking
only, perhaps, the lively, juicy flavor
Of the fresh article. The color of the
fesh when cooked is strongly pink;
which, however, soon fades on expos
ure to the atmosphere,
After the viapds had been disposed
OF, Prof. Gamgee arose, and with q
few PREDATORY remarks, described the
process Of preserving the meats which
had just been eaten, together with the
objects 10 view which had led him to
make his experiments. The process is
briefly as follows: !,
A close bag containing carboniC
oxide gas is thrown over the head Of
the animal to be slaughtered, when
partial asphyxia quickly ensues. The
animal Is bled to. death, and bleeds
we'll. The body is then hastily dressed,
aud, while still warm, the parts to be
preserved are placed in an airt tight
iron case, into which carbonic oxide
gas is introduced. A small compart'
ment connected with the case contains
charcoal, which has already absorbed q
certain quantity OF sulphurous acid
gas. These materials penetrate the
| fibre of the flesh, and arrest iermenta
tion and decomposition. The specia
province OF the sulphurous acid gas is
to combine with every particle OF The
oxygen ia the remaining air, and thus
ronder the case practically air-tlght.-
The Professor stated that the presence
of considerable degree of heat would
be 70 detriment TO the process, and
hence it could be successfully cOmplet
ed in warm climate, The design is tc
bring the vast cattle region of South
America and Australia ut the doors OF
the popalous cities Of the world. Fol
the present, operations looking to Q
full test OF Professor Gamgee's process
will be conducted in Texas, where q
marketable. steer is valued at about
$40. il is said, by the way, that the
Texan beef is of superior quality, ow
ing mainly to the peculiar juices of the
mezquit grass OF that region.
II ought to be mentioned that moi
only all kinds OF meats, but fish,
fruits, &c, according to the Professor,

. slO,OOO LausuIt Abon. Dead l1uIes.

rs- From the St. Louis Democrat
Ia June, 1866, the stables of the
Fifth street horse railroad company,
opposite the arsenal, were destroyed by
IRE, and five or six dozen mules were
roasted in the flames. The carcasses
were allowed TO remain for several days
until they created bad stencil. The
city then ordered them to be thrown
into the river, and committee was ap.
pointed to see the job done. The river
at that time was high, and the order
was t. throw the dead mules luto deep
water, aud it was supposed they would
float away and be devoured by the cat
fish. The Committee sounded the water
and found place abont twenty feet
deep, and here thy dumped their
loads OF mule flesh. II 80 happened
that the place OF deposit selected was
the quarry of Fl J Hilsdorf, which Of
the time was submerged, and ont OF
sight. In few days the river receded
from its banks, and the quarry came to
light, and there. securely resting in
their muddy graves, were the swollen
carcasses Of the roasted mules. The
stencil now was worse than before, and
the quarry could not be worked. The
sediment deposited by the water had
also nearly filed the quarry excavation,
and the heads and. ribs of the mules
were sticking ont, resembling so
many INDUSTRIOUS turtles. The
Committee endeavored to dislodge
them into deep water, but the animals,
stubborn to the last, refused to bulge.
The whole neiRhborhood was scented
by the Odor arising from the carcasses,
which, added to the efluvia OF the
slough ponds, rendered that portion Of
the city anything but garden Of roses.
Hilsdorf now comes forward and
sues The city for $4,000 for filing bis
quarry with mule meat. The suit is
pending in the Circuit Court, No. 2,
and viii be decided 10 day or two.
Mr.. J. Philip Kriger, who was in the
Council at the time, and was one of
the Committee to drown the dead
mules, is the principal witness for the

JULIA DEAN was the daughter of Mrs.
Julia Drake, who, 25 years ago, held a
leading position on the stage, and who
married Mr.. Dean, also an actor, when
the subject OF this sketch was still a
child. Julia adopted the name of her
step.father in going upon the stage,
which she did while still young, From
the age of 18 to that of 25, she was con
sidered as the best interpreter of the
standard juvenile tragic and dramatic
roles She was first married to DR.. Hayne
relative ofSenstor Hsyne, aud belong
ing to the noted South Carolina fam
lily of the same name. Her married
life was not happy one, and, indeed,
the ways of Julia Dean's private and
social career were neither pleasant nor
smooth. Although, during the course
Of her professional life, she acquired
sufficient means to have made up half
a dozen fortunes, there is every reason
to believe that she was very poor at the
time Of her death. Her talents we're
used by others; her money was sqnan-
dered by others, and large portion OF
her existence was rendered unhappy by
others.
Some two years ago, Julia Dean, then
playing series of engagements in
Utah and the extreme west, obtained a
divorce from DR.. Hayne, marrying a
Mr.. Cooper. Her engagements in the
west were very successful; but, toward
the end Of her life, time care, aud
trouble had made sad inroads upon
her dramatic power. There
are however, many who will read
this article and remember her as the
most charming Julia in ''Tbe Hunch-
back" Blanca iu "Fazio," Pauline in
"The Lady of Lyons" they have ever
seen. Iu all characters susceptible OF
true womanly feeling and real sym.
pathy, Julia Dean was one OF the most
successful actresses that the American
stage ever produced.
