TEXAS BEEF IN PHILADELPHIA.

The recent arrival in Philadelphia of
cargo of $50 quarters of fresh beef
from Texas has created quite a sensa-
ton in that city. Directly after the ar
rival of the vessel the matches, that had
remained sealed from the moment the
vessel left Texas, were opened, and the
uppermost quarter was lifted out for
inspections, and found to be as fresh and
sweet as when it was packed away.
By an arrangement of a huge ice box
in the after part of the vessel, and a
huge fan, q current of air was kept con-
tinually passing over and permeating
between the layers of beeves, and they
maintained thus an average tempera-
ture of Sc degrees. Five hundred
pounds of q dainty fish, caught in the
Gulf of Mexico, were found to be as
firm and perfect as when placed in the
refrigerator. When it became known
that fresh Texas beef was being sold at
ten cents pound, half the rates charg-
in the street market, great rush of
people was at once made to AXE advan-
tage of the rare opportunity. The cap
tain of the vessel at once transformed
a portion of the fore-deck into a well
appointed meat stand, and secured q
corps of Carvers, who are now, and
have been since this temporary meat
shop was opened, industriously engage
ed in attending to the hosts of custom
crs constantly pressing forward for the
cheap Texas beef. The scene was an
interesting one. Rich and poor crowd
ed forward to be served, calling for
quantities from pound to a quarter,
and while waiting were prolific in their
encomiums upon its good quality and
! cheapness, and their radiance from
butcher monopoly" which they, have
been compelled to support for SO long
to give new impetus to stock raising
in Texas, and the time is not likely far
distant when semi-Weekly vessels will
arrive loaded with fresh beef from that
section. The experiment has been tried
at season of the year when its success
might reasonably have been doubted

The VIRTUES OF BoRAX.-It may not
be very generally known how very val.
liable borax is, in various purposes OF
household use. We find it the very
best cocEroach exterminator yet dis
covered. One half-pound, costing but
fifty cents, has completely cleared q
large house, formerly swarming with
them, so that the appearance of one in
a month is quite a novelty. The vari.
ous determination powders pulled and
advertised, have been found not fully
effective, tending rather to make the
roches crazy than kill them. There is
something peculiar in the smell or touch
of the borax which is certain death ia
them. They will fee in terror. from it,
and never appear again where 1t has
once been placed. It is, also, a great
advantage that borax is perfectly harm
less to human beings, hence no danger
from poisoning. 1t is also valuable for
laundry purposes. The Washerwomen
of Holland and Belgium, so proverbislly
clean, and who get up their linen SC
Glen and white, use refined borax as
washing powder, instead of soda, in the
proportion of lage handful of borax
powder to ten gallons of water. They
save soap nearly one half. All the large
washing establishments adopt the same
mode. For laces, cambrics, ETC., an ex.
ira quantity of the powder is used and
for crinolines, (requiring to be stiff, q
stronger solution is necessary. Borax
being natural salt, does not in the
slightest degree injure the texture OF
linen. Its effect is to soften the hard
est water, and therefore it should be
kept on the toilet table. AS way OF
cleansing the hair, nothing is better
than q solution of borax in water. II
leaves the scalp in q most Clearly con.
dition, and the hair is just sufficiently
stlffened to retain its place. This stiff.
ness, however, can be readily removed
ter. Borax is also an excellent denti.
frice; dissolved in water, it is one Of
the best toothwashes. In hot countries
it is used, in combination with tartarit
acid and bicarbonaLe of soda, as a cool.

THE MAN Who WOULD BURN THE
PACIFIC OCEAN.-The Readers of the
Tribune will remember the ingenious
and admirably told story of Gregory
Summerfield, the man who had discov-
cred the means and was about to set the
Pacific ocean on fire, and who, in order
to save the world from such calamity
was thrown from train and killed by
e pious philanthropist. Subsequently,
two persons set ont to find the body of
Summerfield, and met over the decay
ing remains. A bottle containing the
wonderful substance was taken from
the CORPSE. The two men quarreled,
and one killed the-other. The survivor
carried of the bottle and some papers
belonging to Summerfield. These. sto-
ries were told in California paper.
The Pacific Commercial AdvertiseT,
published at Honolulu, republished
them, and forthwith two persons wrote
to that paper, stating that they knew
Summerfield well; and that his real
name was Alfred w. Arlington. In
early life, they say, Arlington was a
Methodist clergyman of great talents
and ambition; he afterward became o
lawyer, and earned brilliant reputa-
ton in the southwest. He was much
given to literature, using Summer
ago he was a Judge at Brownsville,
Texas. One of the writers believes the
California story. The other insists that
Summarized is still living. and that
':old age has found him still believing
in the greatness of the secret that he
alone possesses, and confident in his be-
lief that he can set the OCEAN on ire"
Chicago readers will recognize in this
description the late Judge Alfred w.
Arlington, of this city, who died here
about three years ago. he was gem
tleman of fine literary ability, as we'll
as of legal attainment. He was law
yer, orator and poet. 1t is possible
that, in his early life, ne may have used
the name OF Summerfeld as q literary
signature, and these persons living in
the Sandwich Islands, believing in the
alleged story, may have assumed that
ne was really the hero and victim of
the recent sensational romance.-Chica-
