DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION

The ice question" i'll all warm eli
mates is a serious one. The cost of the
article to the consumer is never so low as
to reduce it from the plane of luxury.
The temptation to too freely use it, is ever
present and no small amount of physical i'll
results from this fact, and from its some
time impurity. Yet there is an ever pres
ent necessity, great part of each year,
in the temperate and in torrid zones, for
lowering of the temperature of given
rooms, or receptacles of certain food, below
the normal stage. The icebox, or refriger
ator, in some form or other, is a necessity
in every family, or where not en-
ployed, then methods of inducing ex-
cessive evaporation on moist surfaces are
adopted. Any economical plan, there
fore, that will enable us to attain the
ends for which ice is used, without the
inconvenience and loss consequent upon
handling that article, will be re-
ceived with favor. 1t is believed
the desired results may be reached by the
use Of refrigerating machines, more than
one kind of which is offered in the market.
Small machines can be constructed for
household purposes that are not dangerous
and are very economical, while larger ones
can be used to supply, with exceeding
cheapness, given districts with cold air
through pipes, Just as water and gas are
supplied. By the use of coils of pipe in the
chill-room, or refrigerating box, through
hich the machine forces either cold air or
n freezing fluid, heat is absorbed and the
desired lowness of temperature may be
secured. The " Century" informs us that
some of these machines are already in use
in New York. The advantage of them over
ice is specially demonstrated in large tene-
ment and business houses and hotels.
where one machine in the cellar can be
made to cool at will any closet, pantry or
room in the whole structure, feat quite
impracticable Of accomplishment by the
use of ice.
If the great ice companies are wise they
will themselves take hold of these ma
chimes and put them into use, since
operation, and yield larger profits at far
less cost to the consumer than does the sale
of ice. The sanitary advantages and con-
venience of the system are strong pleas in
its favor The same machinery that circu-
lates the briny cold fluid, or the air
from compressor-motorS, will manu-
facture ice, and thus the compa-
MES can either contract for domestic
refrigeration of every room in a house, or
can supply pound of ice as desired. We
are told that already all the refrigerators in
all the stalls of the largest market in New
York city are supplied by refrigerator pipes
from a central station. For butchers
and dealers in perishable food products the
pipe system would appear to have very
strong claims

STOCKTON, August 3d.-The reception OF

novelty of the proceeding drew large
crowds in attendance, and all seemed to
enjoy the affair as a curiosity.

men rushed to hanks of deposit daily to un-
load receipts, for fear that by another dawn
half their values would be dissipated by
the quotations. Counterfeiters- IN those
days had a constant harvest feast Fail,
ures of banks were everyday occurrences,
and wildcat banking was the rule, and
sound financial systems the exception. The
slightest disturbance of the financial mar
ket sent the notes of the thousands of
thanks" rafting downward, and no man
could know from one hour to another what
he was worth. But under the policy OF the
Republicans party there was established a
system in which the people have confl-
dence, and the result is that people prefer
the promises to pas of the national
bank system to the specie. People now
hoard currency instead Of coin, because Il
is as good as coin. The country has conf
dersce in the national banking system estab
lished by the Republican party ia the teetl
es Democratic opposition.

OREGON.
Items from Portland.

PORTLAND, August 3d.-The weather is
dreadful sultry. The thermometer is
above $50, and no air stirring. Late this
evening a light shower has fallen.
There was heavy cloudburst near New
York Bar, in Washington Territory, FRI
day, that did much damage: 1t only lasted
a few minutes, and destroyed large guam
tity of standing grain.
During July 1880 tons of coal were
shipped from Tacoma. Most of this is
shipped to San Francisco.
j. S. Rays, one of the Oldest pioneers of
Oregon, died Saturday at his home in Polk
county. He leaves a large family.
Several tramps boarded the south-bound
train on the Oregon and California Rail
road, near Ashland, yesterday, and were
put off by Conductor Guthrie. They
made show of fight but were finally
driven away. During the general
melee some one fired Shot, breaking the
thigh of one of the tramps. Guthrie has
been arrested, charged with an attempt to
murder, but released on bail. The evidence
is said to be most conclusive that the shot
was not fired by the conductor at all, but
by some one else assisting in bouncing
the roughs. The tramp nuisance along that
road is said to be intolerabe. They are
bold and insolent and frequently show fight.
To-day an old woman over % years OF
age was found wandering through the
woods several miles south of Portland, in a
most deplorable condition. She was a
bowling maniac and was captured only
after a long chase and desperate struggle.
She was totally nude, her back burned to a
blister by the sun, her hands, feet and face
torn and scratched, and her body was almost
a skeleton. From appearances she has been
wandering about some days. Sherefuses to
drink and eat food, and raves necessarily.
She is total stranger to all, and no one is
found who can throw the least light on the
mysterious subject. The woman is now
lodged in Jail here, and will be held until
something further can be learned. Her
appearance is perfectly heartrending.
Yesterday Carl Anderson, brick mason,
working on new building at Tacoma, fell
distance OF fifteen feet, struck on his
head, and was almost instantly killed.

THE latest published geographic charts
for general use and for the schools give the
northernmost land of Greenland on the
east shore, concerning which anything is
known, as on a shore line of 80 30>, the
furtherest point being styled Cape Britannia.
On the western side of Robson Channel,
however, a shore line has been charted
fully 15' more northerly, the EXTREMIST
point being named Cape Columbia. But,
as the result of Greely's discoveries,
the north shore line of Greenland must
now be charted on the west to $50 So So,
and the EXTREMIST point written down Cape
Robert Lincoln, which name Greedy gave
it. 1t is the nearest point to the North
Pole known to man. There is one fact
that goes far to support the theory that
land does not greatly extend beyond either
Cape Lincoln or Cape Britannia, and that
is that the north trend of either shore ceases
at Robson Channel, and the shore lines
bear easterly and westerly respectively. 1t
is therefore reasonable to suppose that the
most northerly land of Greenland is not
much if any, beyond $40.

BANKING THEN AND NOW.

The Commercial G,@ette, of Cincinnati,
calls attention to fact great many poo
pie lose sight of in political debate-that to
the Republican party alone is due the
credit for supplanting the old and vicious
system of private bank issue by currency
good in every emergency. Let any whose
years qualify them recall the days of 1857.
Then every village that could boast a town
pump had its bank of issue One could
not receive 500 without having in posses
sion the promises to pay of dozen or more
banks, concerning the financial standing of
which no man could keep track. Business

AN ANNIVERSARY,

Thursday Hext is the thirtieth anEiver-
sary of the birth of the Republican party.
The cry Is that it has already Eved too
long. But Shis utterance comes with i'll
grace frorasa party that absolutely ruled
the UnionSfor sixty years and nodded its
destinies. There is some dispute as to just
who made the first step that led to the
formation of the party-but that is imma-
terial. We can very well agree that the
| natal day shall be celebrated on the 18th
inst. The people of Strong, Maine believe
the birth honor is theirs Many places dis
pute.the claim. All may have some reason
to wear the wreath of distinction. The
| truth is. there was such simultaneous ac-
ton, by so many in different parts of the
| lard, at about the same time and in the
same direction, that it is quite impossible
| te, say who first moved on the new political
! line. 1t is enough to know that the move
ment was made, and that whether 1t began
lin Strong by union of Temperance Dem
ocrats, Wings and Free Sellers, or whether
| it was born in the West, it moved on to an
early success after the most prodigious
| growth from pulling infancy to sudden
maturity. 1t is enough to know that it
was born in response to the wish and
thought and heart of the nation; that the
young giant put the sword upon his hip
| Just in time to save the nation, and that
! since he slew the Democratic Goliath the
country has known prosperity and made
advancement far greater than the most
radically sanguine ever believed to be pos
sible. The Republican party was born OF
the sentiment of the people in favor Of
human rights, human freedom, the union
of the States, the limitation of slavery, and
as protest against the bullying and brow
beating of Southern Democrats. So il
matters very little, we repeat, where its
cradle was first rocked, since the patriotism
and heart and love and loyalty of the ma
ton, from Maine to Illinois, formed the
loins from which it sprang.
