AN ARGUMENT FOR TIE Gu1LLorNE.

To me EdttOr Of The TrtbHHe.
SIR At a time when executions have
been Of so frequent occurrence as to call the aten-
ton OF the public mind TO them the mode Of executing
criminals as pracced by this country Will naturally
be topic Of consideration Death by hanging Is GER
taiuy the extreme penalty ofte law but nevertheless
although punishment IL should not be torture. the
object in view TO make the prisoner feel pain but
10 cut OF his existence this world, that he may
more inure his fellow beings. Think how the Italian,
Iuig Iusgnanl was tortured TO death by tho laws OF
great aud civilized country And, although thinking
that he mered his punishment, do not think that
should have been carried out in the way II our
laws We derive IRON the English, aud with them we
have adopted their mode OF punishment hut, although
their laws are the best and most suited 10 this nation,
cannot We do away with their hanging which is but
relic OF baTbarity or II We cannot do away entirely
with capital punishment, let 1t be at least in humane
form and worthy OF the age We I'VE In Titus Oates
hanged his victims cannot do better than such
miscreautl In Europe, in most II not all the CONT
mental States decaptatiOn is pracced. BY hanging the
criminal seldom killed instantaueOusy, except when
the neck is broken which does not always occur. Most
cases show that death Is the result OF stranguatOu
which necessarily Is not quick not produce
In decaptaOn, especially by so powerful agent as
the guOtlne, the spinal cord j. severed Immediately,
producing instant death, and thus the victim has no
suffering. And why cannot We adopt the gui0tne and
abolish qng Just well other nations have done
hundreds of years ago America Is in advance Of most
European countries IN many things. Let her not be
behind them in prominent thing as humanity and,
IN the name OF GOD, let strive to abolish hanging.

NECESSITY OF UNIFORM STATE LAWS.

TO the EdfIor OF The Tribune.
SIR No greater reform awaits the action of
the American people than the simphcaton and
unihcaton, far as possible, OF the several
State codes State statutes dIscordant that TO
pass from State 10 another of this sOcalled com
country" is like going from kingdom OF Europe
TO another We all American citizens IL is true, but
the fundamental laws and legal procedure-to say moth
ing OF terms conditions Of czenship-are 50 differ
ent III different States that the though
he may be an old resident OF another State must 30
through apprenticeship and schooling before he can
understand his relations TO the law. To understand the
laws OF NewYOrk or be citizen OF that State is not

for citizenship therein. Co. instead OF holding separate
State conventions making the laws more and more dis
cOrdant would 10 not be well for each Legislature
point Code Commissioners To meet Code Commissioners
IRON other States and devise, as far practicable
a uniform code OF laws and legal practicef Tie people
would heartily approve such legal reform as this be
cause would make the laws more Ineligible 10 every
citizen, wherever might be his homo In the United
Judge Jury, lawyer, and client, the latter OF whom Is
now bored 10 death by the pains aud penalties
OF tedious and expensive litigation. The Federal Con
stitution Is guide 10 which all State Constitutions and
statutes should be made TO conform and II State codes
were more uniform should not hear 40 much about
uonal" laws. II there is any one thing more
than another which tends tO destroy the unity aud
OF tbe American people and make States disoord
aud Degerent, 10 Is unnecessary diversity state
Constitutions aud laws. The English langua re used by

vegetable substances has attracted considerable
attention. has lately published more detailed ac-
couut. which may be Of interest and Importance 10
soune of our readers. The method consists in the
use of powdered acetate of soda instead OF common
salt or other article and is equally applicable 10 the
preservation Of both meat and vegetables. For
keeping meat fresh, this is placed in cask with
LAYERS of the powdered acetate of soda lnterposed
in the proportion of fourth OF the weight OF the
meat. In Summer the action is Immediate; IN WAh-
ter if is necessary to place the casks or barrels I'D
room heated TO $50 Fahrenheit AS the salt abstracts
the water from the meat at the end OF a hours the
oask is turned upside down, OF the meat is over
banled; that which was above being now placed
below. The operation is complete in about As hours,
and the meat may then be packed up with its pickle,
or il may be dried in the air. If the casks are not
full. they may be filed up by fresh pickle made
nv dissovng one part Of acetate Of soda in three OF
water When the pickle is drawn of from the meat,
half the salt eyap0rates in crystals and may be used
again
Meat thus treated, is prepared for cooking by steep
800, for at least u and not more than "a hours in
TEND water according 10 the size), to which $50
,rains Of sal ammoniac have been added. This salt
decomposes the acetate OF soda that remains In the
meat forming chloride of sodium or common salt
and acetate Of ammonia, which causes the meat
10 swell and assume the edor and reactioh OF fresh
meat. Meat thus prepared may be applied to every
use to which il is fitted when fresh VIII the bones

tssary being that Of the removal OF the lntesthos.
Under the Influence Of the pickle the meat loses
about fourth Of it's weight, and when drled an
other quarter disappears. Coid-bloOded animals

Discussing the dangers from BUILDING
the New York Tribune says IF any one
will take look at some Of the tall build
ings now going up in this city-especiaIy
those where all the beams and framing are
of woodland compare them mentally with
the process Of building up fire in a
furnace preparatory to lighting it, he will
be struck by the similarity Of design
Everywhere throughout each, the princi-
pie seems To be the same; to place the
fuel, the combustible material, in alternate
layers with that which is less combustiblc
to leave spaces through the mass to pr,-
vide good draft to utilize the box Of
walls around it, merely 50 as to pile it u,
high. Looking up at one Of these new
buildings before the flooring is laid. is like
peering up at the sky through lumber
Pile They may not burn-but if not. il !,
because no fire happens 70 start in them
The difference between such structures ana

wood is fairly embedded III plaster, tell,

safety, 1t remains, however. for some
ingenious architect u devise the means Of
