Enbalmcsl Recf.

The New York Times says O doctor of that
city has been experimenting in applying Ger.
tain innoxi0us gases to the preservation of
animal food. His plan consists of slaughter
ing cattle on the plains of Texas, the West.
or South America, infusing the gasses into
an artery, In the same way as embalming
human body, and shipping them in thir hides
to any part of the world. II has been done.
and apparently on scale to test its thorough
efficiency. A carload of cattle were slaueh-
tered ont in Missouri, last summer, the pro-
cess was carried out, and the carcasses sent
to New York, arriving just one month from
the time of their being slaughtered. They
were consigned to the care of Wholesale
market butcher, with orders not to sell until
he received instructions from certain parties
in the city of New York. Nothing in the
appearance of the carcasses awakened the
butchers suspicious; both meat and hide
being as sweet as in the case of an animal
fresh killed. One of the carcasses was cut
up and distributed among persons icnorant
OF what had been done, the butcher himself
being asked to try sirloin joint All ex-
pressed themselves to the effect that the beef
was excellent, the butcher saying that he had
never eaten heartief meal in his life They
were no little astOnished ON hearing the facts
OF the case. The meat was tried again and
again, and when all were convinced that no
possible detriment could arise from the con-
sumption of meat preserved In this way, the
remainder OF the consignment was disposed
OF by the butcher In the ordinary market
fashion. He has not heard single COM
plant or even remark about that beef. The
retail butchers knew nothing about the mat
ter, and uncOnciously sold II as fresh-killed
meat. There is every reason to suppose that
their customers ate 1t under the same erro-
neous impression. .s,,.;E -..-r

The following is from an article in the Salt

Mr.. Greeley was among the most kind
hearted of men. His ready sympathy for
suffering of every kind, made him to some
extent prey to sharpers. Although an un-
yielding total abstinent, he never turned away
empty-handed drunken printer who appeal.
ed to him for aid. The writer of this para.
graph was on one occasion walking up
Broadway with Mr.. Greeley, when an ex-
ceedingly seedy and ''rummy' individual In
terrupted the conversation with this appeal: |:
MIR. Greeley, how do you do ? MY name is
Gobright. My brother Is the agent of the
printer. l used to write for the Tribune. I'm
hard up: Havn't had o thing to eat for four
days. Can't you give me something? Ill
go to work for you If you'll hire me-" All
this was uttered SO rapidly that Mr.. G. could
not get in a word in reply. But before the
speech was half ended his thumb and fore
finger had instinctively sought his vest pock-
ct. When a pause came Mr.. Greeley said
gently: II have nothing to do about en-
ploying men on the Iatbune, but you can see
Mr. Reid. / fear he wont want you though.
You ought to stop drinking, and then you'll
getalong all right. While thus speaking he
Hau hshe,t iron the ueptn or his pocket two
pieces of paper money. The first which
came to light was twenty-five cent piece ;,
the next was two-dollar bill. As he ceased
speaking he dropped the two dollars in the
hand of the hummer and moved on. His
bearing toward this poor, half.intoxicateGi
yagabond, from whorr most persons would
have turned with Indignation and disgust
was full of gentleness and consideration.
Had he been the most influential citizen of
New York he could not have received a more
courteous hearing. sga@ 5 4b8 jId0l1 fHEHfi

Il The following official report Of the signal
service observer, stationed at Boston. fela.
tive to observations taken by himself during
the fire, will be found of interest and highly
instructive:
BosroN, Mass, November 13. 1872
To the Chief Signal Officer of the Army.
Washington, d. C.--General: In reply to
your telegraphic dispatch received this morn
ing, directing me to make full report of the
meteoric phenomena attending the recent
great fire, would respectfully say that the
wind at this station during the progress of
the fire varied from northwest to north. with
a velocity of from five to nine miles per
hour, the weather being. clear, cool and pleas
ant. On approaching the north or windward
side as close as the heat would allow, the in
drauth OF air through the burning streets as
sumcd the character of brisk wind, proba-
bly, sixteen or eighteen miles an hour, while
tie heat was so intense an to cause smoke.
steam, etc., to be carried up in spirals to a
great elevation. On the south or lee side in
duced currents of air were very strong, prob
ably thirty or thirty five miles per hour, carry
ing the fire bodily to the windward. E1i fg
This state of affairs appears to be the re-
verse of the Chicago fire, where the strength
OF the wind was sufficient to overcome In.
duced currents, and the fire burned 10 lee
ward: 1t appears that the high wind permit
ted the indraugh to rise at d considerable
angle after reaching the fire, leaving large
space of highly rarifed air in its front induc-
ing stronger currents to flow in, which, meet
ing the indrauth, gave spiral or whirlwind
form to the rising current. ss, rtSt aa
During the fire flock of ducks passed at
q great hight, overhead, and the light reflected
from their plumage made them appear as fire
balls passing rapidly through the air. Many
who saw them called them meteors, and took
them to be balls of fire said to haye been seen
in the northwest during the great fires in that
region. As aa example Of the great heat
