Cooking by Cold.

1t is curious fact, not generally known,
that the action of intense cold on organic
substances Is similar to that of high de-
gree of heat, and that, when subjected to
very low temperature, meat can be brought
to condition similar to its state when cook
ed BY actual warmth. Quite recently &
Hungarian chemist, DR.. Won Sawiezewsky,
who, 1t appears, has investigated all the
various ways suggested for the preserving
meat (by chemicals, cooking by heat and
Theoretically scaling, etc. and has found
points Of objection to all, attempted the
preparation Of the material by subiecting
1t in perfectly fresh state to "a temperature
of *;53 deg below zero, Fab, and sealing it
afterwards in tins The results obtained
have been highly satisfactory the meat on
being removed from the cans appears, in
point Of smell and color as fresh as ifiust
taken from the butchers stall. Although
partially cooked, and thus requiring less
fuel to complete its preparation for the
table, 1t is entirely without the taste of
meat which has been partially subjected 70
any heating process, and may be roasted,
boiled or otherwise treated, the same as if
it were fresh. \ commission appointed
by the German Governments has lately
conducted series Of careful and successful
experiments upon the process and as
final test two corvettes Of a German navy,

have been supplied with large stock. An
extensive factory is being erected in
Hungary for its manufacture

Employment Scarce in Philadelphia.

Mr.. EDITOR: Please say to any of your
readers who may be thinking Of coming to
Philadelphia to find work that they had
better nat come. The city is flooded with
men from all parts of the country, who
have imagined that the Centennial would
bring with it plenty of employment for
everybody! They have forgotten the fact
that thousands Of good workmen, resident
in the city, are now out of employment be-
cause Of the stoppage Of the wheels Of in
dustry in foundries, mills, shops, and stores
and while the Exhibition has given, and
will give, work to thousands, yet the sup
ply already far exceeds any possible demand.
The new comers are not only bitterly dis
appointed, but worse, for their little means
is soon exhausted, and they are driven of
ten to the very verge Of starvation, while
hundreds have to seek the shelter Of the
strtion- houses, or walk the streets the
whole night long.
In response to an inquiry made of the
President of the House of Correction, the
following has just been received
OFEIcE OF "THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION"
PHILADELPHIA, March q, 1876.
JoHN WANAMAKER, ESQ,
Dear Sir: In reply to your favor of the
2Sth ult., have had prepared the enclosed
statement, exhibiting the number of admis-
sions to this Institution during the
months of December, January, and Feb
last, and also the proportion of that num-
Der who were committed at their own re-
quest.
OF twety-two hundred and forty two
(2242) admissions, no less than eleven han
dred and ffty-one (l15D were self COM
mitted.
The supposition that, as class, the oc-
cupants of the House of Correction, are
those who seek its food and shelter only to
avoid labor is erroneous. On the contrary,
as a rule, they work cheerfully enough,
even at the hardest and most disagrceabe
of outdoor employments-stone quarrying,
ditching, etc, though in very many csses,
the men have been educated to clerical
rather than to manual labor.
The result is, therefore, startling, as an
index of the overcrowded condition of many

Only those who are wide awake now ap-
pear to escape the clutches of the sharpers.
\ few days ago a person was sent TO 4
Philadelphia bank for the purpose of draw
ing money to pay the wages of the hands
in manulactory. Two men stood near
the place where he was engaged in count
lng over the amount he had received, some
81 500. One Of the men remarked to him,
You've dropped dollar note, sir, point
Ing to Il greemhack Of that denomination
lying on the floor. ''All right, sir, was
the reply, Ill just put my foot on it for
the present, which he did, and continued
counting his money. 1t was not until the
sharpcrs learned that they were irving
their game upon ali experienced customer,
that they informed him the dollar note was
dropped by one Of them. Any other than
wide-awake person would have stopped
for the note, and in all probability have
lost the 81 $40.

William Hutchinson, of Springfield, Eric
county, is afflicted with something which
for want of better nime is called a
devil" In 1858 he was seized with con-
vu'sions Of. an extraordinary nature His
limbs and face were horribly contorted, and
his writings were fearful to be hold. His
mind all through these strange perform
anccs was perfectly clear, and he came out
OF th5m merely exhausted. Every year
since that date, at the same time of the
year, William Hutchinson is compelled to
tie himself in bow-not and 90 through
with tn Sc CONVERSIONS, and all the doctors
in the country haven't been able to stop it.
But he is making plucky fight, and it is
hoped will beat the devil in the long run.

The other day there was very
ludicrous scene in the United State Sen
ate. There are some new revolving and
reclining chairs in the Senate, and it is
nothing uncommon for a Senator to lean
back and take his ease Senator McCrecrv,
of Kentucky, happened to be sitting on
the outside fow, when an excitin" debate
occurred on the whisky frauds Whether
he was asleep or not is yet undecided, for
he sleeps when he likes in his chair. But
he fell, and great WAS his fall. Think of
two hundred and forty pounds of Ken
tucky manliness rolling around the floor
Of the Senate Just as Senator Cherman
commenced talking of KenttcY whisky
IN lep y to Senator Gordon. over went tho
liant Democratic Senator After roll
and 4 struggle to regain his feet, he sat
dignifedy in his chair, looked serene,
gized blandly around the Senate Shamber
and galleries, and then shook his big
frame with u hearty, noiseless laugh.

President of the Philadelphia Young
Mems Christian Association

Mems Christian Association.
The Repubikaner, German newspaper
in New York, has been looking at the posi-
ton which parties occupy at the present
time. and concludes a long article on the
subject with these reflections
The Southern papers are filled with ad-
vertisements of specializing attorneys, soil
citing the prosecution Of claims resulting
from damages done by the United States
during the war. and the prospect which
these lawyers hold out to such claimants" p"
in the event Of the access Of Democratic
Administration, are of such a nature that
they cannot be underrated by the parties
interested. Such signs denote the very es-
sence of the impending national contest.
When Lincoln had been reelected the
collapse Of the southern confederacy took
place almost simultaneously with his rein
auguration, because they were wanting in
the resources necessary to continue the re-
belion for four years longer, until 1868,
ere possible reaction in their favor at the
ballot box in the loyal North could offer
them another opportunity for help from
that quarter. Now, since S65 the people
have been compelled, from considerations
Of safety and self preservation, to maintain
a Republican Administration. This fact has
not since been reversed, but, if possible,
has become more imperative than at that
time. The Democratic partisans are utterly
indifferent as to the price the people would
have to pay for the luxury of a "Democra-
tic Restoration as long as they alone can
reach their purpose

STATEMENT,

The writer is led to send this communi-
cation because of the large number of let
ters and calls he is constantly receiving from
persons in great distress, whose experience
is suggested in the foregoing and he feels
that he cannot do kinder service to the
young men outside Of Philadelphia, than to
urge them, for their O,cn sake, to remain
at home, unless they have the positive pro-
mise of something to do when they come to
the city, and come or the purpose of claim
ing the promise.

The Republican rooster that would
not crow over such election returns
deserves to have his neck wrung,
and be made hash of at o third-rate
boarding house. Summed Up in
brief, after the smoke Of battle has
cleared away, the result Of the cleo
tons on the 10th inst, is as follows :
In Ohio, where two years ago the
Democrats had over l7,C00 for the
State ticket, and elected I3 out of
30 Congressman, and where one year
ago Hayes was elected Governor by
only $500 majority, the Republicans
now elect their State ticket by ma
jorities ranging from 5000 tc 10000
snd secure at least II, of the 90
Congressmen--gaining S.
Indiana, which in 1874 elected a
Democratic state ticket by 1900
majority, s out of Is Congressman
and Democratic Legislature, now
elects Blue Jeans Wiliams-Demo-
CTat--Governor 10y only about 5000
majority; 9 o. the - Congressman
elect are Republicans, and We have
\ majority in the Legislature,
West Virginia goes Democratic As
usual by about 10000; the Repubi-
cans gaining nearly 5000 votes on
the last election.
Whatever consolation Democrats
snn find in these figures. they are
welcome 10, 4 gain of Q or 10
Congressman, in national point of
view, is of far greater importance
than the Governor of any one
State. In 1872. Hendricks, Dem
was elected in October,yet in Novem-
Der, the same year, Grant carried
ehe State 10y $4,000 majority. That
the result will be similar this wear.
there is good reason to believe. Had
Indiana gone Republicans laSt week.
the campaign would have been prae-
tically determined in favor Of Hayes,
It's going the other way by small
majority. only makes continuance

". Easeltcn and The Tribune.


Two classes Of people assume , to
criticise the course OF the TRIBUNE
towards George c. Hazelton. One
affecting surprise that We support
him at all, and the other complain
ing that we do not support him
more enthusiastically.
To the first we have to say, that
whatever our personal preferences
may be, they are subservient to our
political principles and were our
mostlimplacable personal enemy pit
ted against our warmest personal
friend, (which is not the case in this
instance,) for so important repre-
sentative political office as member
OF Congress, the former entertain
ing political principles in CONSEQUENCE
with those that we esteem to be
right, and the latter a champion OF
political ideas adverse to ours, the
TRIBUNE would do battle as best it
could under such circumstances for
the candidate representing its views.
AT the|present juncture, when the cleo
ton of Democratic President is pos.
sible, all good Republicans are espe-
cially anxious that in the next Con-
gress their party friends shall be o
majority. 1t is not for political ef-
fact that Republicans depict the
calsmitous consequences to the
country likely to follow the coming
into power of the Democratic party
but because they believe and fear
the calamities they predict would DO
actually experienced. Should Til
den be elected, and Congress be con-
trolled by Republicans, much OF the
threatened danger would be averted.
To that other class, from whom
we hear of grumblings at the man
ner of THE TRIBUNE's support .of
Mr.. Haze!ton,we have but to remark:
Some of you at least, ilive in polis-
zeal houses entirely too easily smash
ed to warrant your throwing stones
at our edifce, and have hands so
badly smutted with boiling ballots
that ours, shown in comparison,
would appear immaculate as the
rosy-tipped digitals of Broadway
belle.

ant to custom, 1t devolves upon us to
briefly present to the people the
gentlemen nominated by the Repub-
lican County Convention, for the
various County Offices. At the same
time it is proper that the opposing
candidates be also named.
FOR SHERIFF,
the Republican nomineei is EDWARD
DUNN, OF the town of Mineral Point.
Some years ago Mr.. Dunn served as
deputy-sherif and jailor under Sher-
if Messersmith, and acquitted him
self well. More recently he has
filed the positions of Assessor and
Supervisor in his own town, and in
each capacity has been found effici-
ent, and faithful to the public inter-
ests. He is farmer by occupation,
and paying close attention to his
farm, and being naturally retiring in
manners, has not become SO widely
known as some others of less merit,
but more brass. He has all the requi-
sites --courage, intelligence, and in
tegrity--to make as good a sheriff as
Iowa County ever had.
His opponent, Kennedy, of High
land, is the present deputy-sherif.
A young man Of good character, and
qualifications, 70 doubt, sufficient to
make an acceptable sheriff. Politi-
cally, he is representative of the
town from which he halls, "Demo-
crat' Of the worst stripe.
FOR COUNTY TREASURER,
no other than that manned soldier
and honest patriot, CHRISTIAN
KESSLER, was thought of by the
Republican Convention, or would be
so acceptable to, or receive such an
endorsement from the people of
Iowa County. His services to the
country on the field of battle, at the
cost of being a cripple for life, and
his irreproachable integrity, strict
attention to duty and suavity of
manners in public office, are known
and admired of oil men. Had the
Convention failed to recognize this,
the people of the county would have
felt outraged. Chris is now serving
his first term as County Treasurer,
and we have yet to hear the least in
tination that the office was ever
better administered, or the funds
more safely guarded. We DO not
believe thct the people will turn the
cold shoulder On man who in their
defence was rendered incapable Of
supporting himself by manuel labor,
especially when by their votes they
can ensure prosperity to him and
his family, and safety to their own
interests.
Orviile Strong, nominated by the
Democrats in o,,os;,;o, % NJ
Kessler, is well known to Tho neop,o
OF Iowa County. Eehas been before
them often AS an applicant for otFicia,
favors, and has been well ecryea In
turn, candor compels "a to saw ne

qualifications are doubted by many,
aud vouche( for by no one that We
have heard
FoREoUNTY CLERK.
Recognizing tho necessity OF
having this most important Office
filled by m(n Of known ability and
integrity, thd Convention very prop
erly nominated J. T. PRYOR, Jr., q
lifelong resident Of the County, on
accomplishments, and gentleman
Of the highest type. Most Of Mr..
Pryor's life his been spent in school
teaching and accountant positions.
He is one of the best penmen in the
County, a competent book-keeper,
and familiar With public affairs, hav-
ing often bee, employed by County
officers as an assistant, and at differ
ent times held town Offices in Dodge
vile, and been Secretary of the
County Agricultural Society. At
present he is ,own clerk of Dodge
vile, having been elected last spring,
receiving 400 put Of 600 votes polled'
Mr.. Chas. Gilman, when County
Treasurer, appointed Mr.. Pryor
Deputy, aud il is said, being taken to
task about it BY Democrats, respond
ed in effect, that as he had to protect
himself, his sureties and the County,
he proposed to have for deputy q
man who was competent, and whose
integrity and faithtulness he could i'm
plicitly depend upon. Can any better
endorsement,from any better author
ity, be asked!
Mr.. John Z. Tramel, nominated
by the Democrats in opposition to
Mr.. Pryor, is well known as an old
and respected citizen of Mineral
Point. OF his qualifications for the
office, there is no question. In poll
tics ne is a Democrat of the deepest
dye, his sympathy with the rebellion
was so undisguised, and out-spoken
as to offend many who, in those STIR
ring times, when every patriotic
nerve was strained to the utmost,
could i'll brook traitorous sentiments,
even in their best friends.
FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Despite his avowed purpose not to
run, the Con,s ltion nominated S.W
REESE Esq, of Dodgeville, be-
licving that his name on the ticket
would be tower Of strength. Mr..
Reese is one of the foremost lawyers
Of the County, and legal interests in
his hands will be sure of able and
faithful care. No one is better post
cd in tho matters connected with
our bond difficulties, and if, as is
possible, we have need of legal ad-
vico on this subject, no Que is more
capable Of giving it than be. Indeed,
50 valuable is his knowledge con-
sidered, that he has been moresthan
any other attorney in tho county,
retained by the County Board on
public suits.
His opponent, NJ. !. Briggs, has
made a fair record rs legal advisor
Of the county the past two years,
but in comparison with Mr.. Reese
is in lay but novice, and in other
respects the difference is still greater.
FOR CLERK OF CIRCUIT COURT.
Tho court, awyers, jurors, and oil
having business in his office to trans
act, say that Iowa County never had
a more accommodating or efficient
man in this position, than WILLIAM
His denomination was
result Of this conviction,
and bis election by handsome ma
jority is almost certain. As SOL
dier, a. sheriff, as q clerk, and as
private citizen, Mr.. Sands is sue

Joined article, which appeared in
the local columns of the Helena
Herald on the 10th instant, in
which it was attempted to excite
the fears of the entire community
that the Northern Indians were on
the point of rising:
"The great fear now is that Glib
bon's little command may be eaten
up before Crook arrives. Another
thing is drawing attention, too,
and that is, that the Northern In
dians, on hearing this news, will
break out, as it is known in this
vicinity that there was a great
medicine feast at the, Sweetgrass
Hills a week or two ago between
the Pen d'0reilles, Piegans, Black
feet and Assinabine Sioux. 1t be-
hooyes all our frontier settlements
to look out now and be prepared.
Our military garrisons can do moth
ing. don't believe they are strong
enough to defend the places they
live in; and if by any possibility
the Indians get away with Crook
and Gibbon, then goodbye, John!
and everybody else, for they are
strong enough to clear the country
to the Colombia river"
OF course there was nothing
"diabolical" in this canard-there
was no danger of this exciting
alarm in the settled portions Of
Montana" This was piece Of
legitimate newspaper enterprise.
