in the arena of thought, who destroyed

learned man of the most learned nation,
because he left a legacy of glory to every

Preservation of Meats and
Fruits.

A discovery of Che utmost importance,
not only to the South, but to the world,
is about to be brought into practical ap-
plication. We refer to Lieut.. Fry's pro-
cess by which decay can be arrested in
meat, as we'll as in many kinds of vegeta-
bles and fruit, and the articles operated
upon can be preserved for years, if necces-
sary, without any material loss of their
nutritiye qualities or natural aroma. We
have seen samples of beef obtained in
Poydras Market two years ago, which
have not undergone a particle of decay,
though never sailed nor subjected to the
action of foreign chemical agents. By
simply placing this meat in water it will
reabsorb the moisture which had been ex-
PEELED from it, and it practically becomes
as fresh as when originally taken from the
shambles. sl hH -Giu
The cos; of preparation and preserva-
ton under this new process is far less
than that of sailing and packing, as here
tofore practiced, and the virtues of the
meat much more effectually retained In
fruit, such as habanas, pineapples, etc,
which in their natural condition are most
perishable commodities, this process is
equally effective, as, without adding ma
terially to their cost, it will render it pos
sible for such articles to be transported
from the tropics to the North with entire
safety, and thereby greatly cheaper
them TO consumers. q a ba afafs8
1t being demonstrated that decay in
wood could be prevented by the action of
sunerheated steam, Lieut.. Fry extended
his experiments to other articles. From
these experiments he discovered that beef
partially dissicated in a vacuum, at tenn
perature removed from the point at which
fermentation takes place, and yet below
that at which 1t cooks-by merely drying
the albumen-will remain perfectly sweet
during the hottest weather and through
every change in climate. The cost of
the apparatus is trifing the raw material
is abundant, and may be had almost for
the asking while the product cannot fail
to have commanding value in Cuba, in
China, and indeed in all portions of the
world where cheap meat is one OF the
pressing necessities of the people.
Though as yet in its incipiency, we look
to Lieut.. FTys discovery as calculated to
immensely enlarge the boundaries of our
trade. To Texas it will prove an exhaust
less mine of wealth. and to the world a
benefaction of the very highest value

KENOsHA WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1876
Lynch Law at Portage.

We publish elsewhere an account of
terrible affair which occurred at Portage
yesterday afternoon. 1t seemed that a
feud had existed since the war between a
lawyer of that city named VIM. FL. Spain
and farmer named Barney Britt, who
had served together in the 10Th regiment.
Yesterday morning they met upon the
streets and some violent language passed
between them. In the afternoon they
met again, and Spain went to his resi-
dence, procured his revolver, and shot
Britt dead The murderer was at once
arrested. A mob soon gathered, and
threatened summary punishment. They
were banked for time by the officers,
who placed him in the office of the ex-
press company but they soon broke in,
seized the wretched man, put rope
around his neck, dragged him a consider
able distance and hung him to tree.
We deeply regret that such an, affair
should have occurred in this state,and are
confident that this will be the feeling of
all our people not excepting the intelli-
gent and law-abiding citizens of Portage.
1t should be added to the credit of the
state that this is the first occurrence of the
kind for long time if we mistake not,
since the lynching of negro in this city
about ten years since. -0sJ oa,E al.a s
The murder of Britt, which was so
summalily avenged, was certainly of a.
most unprovokcd and aggravated cbarac
ter and the murderer was, to our personal
knowledge, a man of infamous anteced-
ents. But these facts can not justify the
action of the mob. 1t is one of the most
alarming signs of the times that the peo-
pie of this country so often take it upon
themselves tofinfict punishment upon Of
tenders 1t argues disrespect for law
and authority which is pregnant with
evil equences.--1SentineJ lgaa it.

Relics of Ancient Civilization
in the Heart of Africa.

A writer in the Natal Mercury says,
when treating of the ruins of Simbaoe
A days march from Andowa, between
two hills, at the end of a vast and fertile
valley, are the ruins of Axum To this
incredible flights of stone steps conduct
the traveller up to the SUBMITS of the
hills, in one of which are found deep
grottoes and vast halls, cut out of the
rock and ornamented with columns.
There, according to the traditions Of the
country, is the tomb of the Queen of Sa-
ba. The adjoining valley, shaded by ma
jestic trees, is filed by the remains of
the city, consisting of huge blocks of
stone. Very little of the debris reveal
their former purpose. They may, how
ever, be distinguished two groups of
fourteen obetisks thrown down. Seven
of them are covered with ornaments, and
are not less than thirty six feet in length
These masterpieces of ancient architec
ture reveal to US the fact of an ancient
civilization in the heart Of Africa, which
has disappeared again thousands of years
since. Neibular tellsu Of mighty Abys
sinian Empire existing here, mentioning
in particular Saba, and says it was so
powerful that even the Roman and Par
thenian strength could not prevail against
it. This last statement was taken from
Greek inscription found among the ruins
engraved in stone. On the reverse side is
another engraving, IN some ancient Ian
guage, which has not yet been deciphered
These savage tribes guard these ruins
with jealous care. No living animal is
allowed TO be killed in them,
no tree permitted to be destroyed, every
thing connected with them being held
sacred, as belonging either to good or
evil power. A missionary who penetrat
ed within short distance Of the ruins,
writes in this country were are also
some very old guns, in a hole in the
mountain We. got one of the locks of
these guns, and found it to have a wheel
outside, with cogs or teeth and. a tradi-
ton exists that they came from these
ruins, The Basutos often tell US, when
asked If they acknowledge God, about the
big stones in the Banyai, where all Gre
ated things are to be seen, even sphinxes,
pyramidal-shaped buildings and cata
combs
