Chemistry of the Fattenlng Process.

A lsan cow or OK is in q very different
condition, chemically considered, from fat
animals Of the same kind. IN the first
place the lean animal consists Of about two
thirds water, the fat one only half, that is,
in total weight. 4 fat animal is in a dry
condition, poor animal is like some of our
bog meadows, very wet. Whentke fatten-
ing process begins, the water begins to dis
appear, and fat or suet takes Its place, and
the increase In bulk during the process Is
largely Of adipose matter. II Is 4 curious
circumstance that during fattening, tho

General Buffers Generosity.

A short time ago poor Irishwoman,
whose husband had been killed in the war,
to ask for his influence in getting employ
ment for her son as laborer in the navy
yard. She told her pitiful story-of cold
nights and days in their miserable lodging,
of the weary walks of her son seeking q
days labor to stop the slow starvation
and every word she said was proved by the
wretched shawl, the white face, and the
wasted figure. He heard tie story as if
he was used to it, and was taking out his
wallet to give her dollar and let her go.
when he asked in his gruff way: !" Where's
Your husband, ma'am ?"
"He was killed in the war, sir, In New
Orleans, under you, /" said the widow, and
she broke down, sobhlng as if her heart
would burst, and covering her face with
her apron.
Old Ben put his wallet in his pocket and
stood up with q strange glitter in his eye
for moment, looking at the woman's
misery and grief. Then he told her to be
quiet, asked her husbands name and regi-
ment, and called one of his clerks. After
looking through large book and making
notes he told the poor woman to call on
him in q fortnight, when he returned from
Washington, and he also promised he
would give her the letter for her aon.
With grateful heart the widow went away.
Srrrf s5~st Hf.s
Three days afterwards General Butler
was in Washington, and he made it his
business to see about the widows case at
the War Department. He found that a
pension was due to her of 81, IT'S, and the
money was transferred to his care for her
use after the proper formalit;es. When
the two weeks had expired the widow
called on him in Boston for the letter for
her son.
"Here it is,'' said the General 'sthis
will get him work, and his wages will be
enough to support You and him in comfort.
And here,' he added, pulling out an en-
velope, lis another letter, containing 81, ,175
for yourself, due to yon By the United
States. Lodge this in some bank in your
own name, and If ever you want to invest
it III any other way, come to me and I'll
tell you how .,
/ Then he sat down and enjoyed the emo
tion. When the FIRST food of joy and sur
prise was over the grateful widow pulled
ont hundred dollar note from the money
and handed it to the General.

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.
Arrival Of the Right Hand and Wrist From
France.

A fragment of the great statue of Libar-
ty, destined for Bedloe's Island, was put
ashore at pier 81, North River, yesterday,
from the French steamer Labrador. It was
lscontained in q huge case, as large as a
Ismal dwelling, made of boards nailed
iTudely together, with open spaces between.
All Of the statue ii held was the wrist and
right hand, with a section of the torch
which the right arm is to hold aloft, bear
Ing a flambeau, which will serve as light
house beacon. The vast case rested on o
truck and was an object of much curiosity
10 the people around the docks. The French
sailors, OF the Labrador, fairly danced
around it in their enthusiasm, calling on
those in the vicinity whom they gussed were
Americans to como and "ze zee tumb. !"
The thumb. which partly encircled the torch
ssage cylinder of twelve feet in circum-
ference) was ludierously gigantic men-
Der. On the thumb nail alone a man of
several hundred pounds avorirdupois might
find more roomy seat than in Third av-
enue car. As for the arm below the elbow
and opening into the palm three men of
ordinary stature might walk abreast within
it's interior. It Is said that inside the up
per and broader part of the arm above the
elbow as many ais nine men can be COM
fortably accommodated. This fragmenta-
ry part is made of bronzed copper, about a
sixteenth of an inch in thickness. It is in
fine, evenly-rolled plates, riveted and
screwed together in the frmest and most
elaborate manner. The complete statue
will be about one hundred and twenty feet
in height, from the crown of the head to
the sole of the foot, the elevation of the
pedestal being, perhaps, third Of the
altitude of the statue. It is understood
that staircase will be placed within the
right arm, by which ascent can be made to
a balcony running around the edge of the
flambeau. The height Of the complete
arm is thirty-five feet. OF course the stat
ne is upright. The left arm is bent so as
to enfold and hold lightly toward the body
set of tablets upon which the Declaration
of Independence is supposed to be lnscrib-,
ed. A tunic falls over a peplum from the
shoulders to the feet. The head is sur
rounded by diadem, from which projects
a-circlet of prongs that catch the SUMS rays
and construct brilliant nimbus of glory
out of them. The folds of the outer gar
ments are so arranged that the edges fold
across the figure. It's estimated
COSTS $125, 900, half Of which has already
been subscribed. Both pedestal and statue
win be completed in two years from now,
and it will be the joint enterprise of France
and America. Along with the fragment
already received and the portion ON exhibi-
ton at Philadelphia, the right arm is sup
posed to be complete.

BRrsTows PRESIDENTIAL VISION.
The Real Animus Of His Attack On the presi.
dent,
From the New York Herald. Aug ID:

From the New York Herald, Aug IA:
Bluford Wilson does not shine in tht
testimony Of Horace Porter. In fact, The
whole drift of this investigation into tht
whisky business has been to injure BristoN
and Wilson. It shows that while the Sec
retary and his solicitor were striving te
execute the laws an early success turned
their heads The convictions of the St
Louis thieves opened to Bristow vision oi
the Presidency. The large and respectable
reform element in the Republican party
turned to him as the Moses who would
lead the Republican party out of the desert
Of corruption. From the moment this
mirage fell upon the eyes of Bristow his
Investigations took a political tint. 1t was
thrown out to the world that Rristow In
the Cabinet was another Daniel in the
lions den. Enterprising newspaper men
were laden with information to the effect
that but for Bristow there would probably
be no treasury, and that the letter about
letting no guilty man escape was forced
out of Grant by a sort Of tooth-pulling
process that Bristow was the pillar of
reform and Bluford Wilson the foundation
stone upon which the pillar rested. We
have no doubt that Wilson and Bristow
meant all the time to serve the Govern
ment. They meant, also, while they were
about it, to win the Presidency. This was
the beginning of their trouble. From the
moment the canvass came into the investi-
CATION it become selfish, narrow, and small.
So far from the President having any
knowledge of the whisky frauds, SO far
from his writing his letter under duress,
SO far from attempting to screen those near
him from the consequences of their guilt,
it is clear that he meant they should pass
through the ordeal. Beyond natural
interest in the good name Of one as close
to him as his private secretary, beyond the
honorable wish that friend and confidant
should not be destroyed if innocent, all the
evidence shows that Grant was as anxious
to prosecute the trespassers upon the
revenue as Bristow. It was only when
the investigation was directed against
himself and in the interest of candidate
for the Presidency that he began to show
feeling. We are bound to respect this
feeling. The evidence of General Porter
is entirely to the credit Of the President
and Of the General himself. AS we have
said all along, nothing has gratifed us
more than the exoneration which the in
vestigation has bestowed upon the Presi-
dent. We have never for moment doubt
cd his personal integrity. We are glad of
the result because, whatever political critics
may say Of General Grant, his name will
live among the great names of history.
Every American will rejoice that the victor
Of Appomattox will retire into private life,
with stainless and an honored name.
