A new method Of preserving and transport
ing fresh fish has been devised by Mr A. R.
Roosen, OF Hamburg, and was recently tried
in England 1t consists in placing the fish in
barrels of steel, each barrel being closed by
an air tight lid fitted with a small valve con-
nection, to which is temporarily attached a
tube from a small hydraulic hand pump.
With this pump water is forced into the bar
rel tthe air being at the same time expelled
until the guage indicates a pressure Of about
sixty pounds per square inch The tube u
then disconnected and the barrel closed by
the valve. Before the pumping begins the
barrel is supplied with sufficient fish to make
the cargo, and an antiseptic solution Of 8
per cent Of boracic acid, tartaric acid, salt
and water, with 81 per cent. Of fresh water.
Fish have been brought in a fresh condition
by this plan from Montrose, Copenhagen and

A writer in the Brooklyn Union says:
ga long time ago I wrote the opinion of
an experienced publisher that Mrs. Julia
Dent Grant, or in other words the Grant
family. would derive, in the end, $3.50, =
900 from the writing; of General U. S.
Grant. Inasmuch as Mrs. Grant has
already received $3.50, 900 and will get
at least $3.50, 900 more from the work
which Grant finished just before his
death, it viii 6e no difficult matter to
make the material left by General Grant
for another work yie,d the remaining
$3.50, 1000 The work to follow the war
record will be practically history of
Grants two terms as President of the
United States. It will be even more in
teresting to the masses than the war rec
ord, but will lack the merit of being the
personal compilation of Grant. His notes,
however, will supply all the facts. A
fair share of the persons who purchase
the war record will want the Presidential
history. Therefore the success of the
work is absolutely assured in advance.
Colonel Fred. Grant has the matter in
hand. I am told that he proposes to be
the publisher himself"

LIBERTY UNVEILED.
A Great Pageant in the Streets OF
Americas Metropolis.
Ceremonies in the City and at the
Base of the Statue.

The following vivid account OF the cere
monies accompanying the unveiling OF Bar
tholdrs statue of Liberty has been compiled
for our readers from the New York papers:
Bad Weather, but Great Crowds.
For many weeks the day appointed for the
dedication of the statue had been the object
i've point to which thousands turned their
thoughts and hopes. Though the faithless
elements held out but little encouragement,
thousands of visitors came to the city. AT
an early hour the population of New York
and the thousands OF visitors were up and
stirring.
BY O'Clock, the hour set for the head of
the column to move, the streets leading to
upper Fifth avenue were thronged with citl-
yens military and civil organizations on
their way to the rendezvous. Looking east
and west from the brow OF Murray Hill, the
entire population Of the city seemed to be
marching in one direction or drawing its
lines closer about the Windsor Hotel where
the Grand Marshal and his staff were assem-
bled
Just previous to the starting of the parade
the sight-seers feasted their eyes upon the
many and varied organizations, the process
sion of whit h seemed to be endless. Uniforms
and equipments which have seen service for
quarter of century, shone in all the glory
of the overhauling and Furnishing which
they had received. Condemned, but gaudy
fire engines rumbled through the streets
al out Murray hill, and now and then some
venerable relic, such as the coach OF George
Washington, clattered alongside of light
and trim model of the small but fateful Mou-
itor. Every leading thoroushfare of the
city was bright with bunting and from every
flagstaff stars and stripes or tricolor Aut.

Mr.. Lui, of the Chinese consulate in
New York, says that there are about
1900 Cinnamon in that city, or one-tenth
of the whole number in this country and
about one-third as many as there are in
San Francisco There are 2, 600 or 9, 500
in the suburbs of New York. He says
that they are fond of the metropolis and
arc better treated there than elsewhere.
Very many arc married to white women,
and in many instances these have proved
happy unions. He declares that it is a
mistake to suppose that all the China
men are seeking wealth in this country
with the idea of returning to China with
it. Could they become citizens many
would do so, az they like this country
and are fascinated by the comforts and
advantages of Western civilization. They
would not be as happy in China and their
only object in returning, could they do
so and then come back here, would be to
see their parents. Mr.. Lui complains of
the injustice of American laws regarding
the Chinese, but speaks hopefully of the
near prospect of a revocation of those
that prevent immigration and naturaliza-

The ravagcs of cholera in Corea arc
vividly presented by the news ttat the
deaths from this cause in Seoul, the Capt.
tai city, alone are a thousand day.
This chief city of tie peninsula contains
less than q quarter of a million inhabi-
tants within its walls, and as the pesti.
lence began to rage furiously there fully
three or four months ago, it may be i'm
agined what havoc it has made. An i'm
portant point to note is that the sanitary
condition of the capital has been for
long time horrible, in spite of excellent
natural drainage. The sewers were once
very good, although open on the streets
but of late the houses have cncroachcd
on the thoroughfares, and have been
recklessly built up to and even over the
sewers, leaving only the space necessary
for these conduits, which have become
tilthier and filthier. The lesson of this
present devastation of Seoul is the one
that would be taught in any other city
of ,he world under like circumstances
and horrible and pitiablc as is the NOR
tality, insomuch that the dead now lie
long unburied, it cannot be called sur
prising.

The City's Decorations.

Few attempts had been made at elaborate
decorations. but the mass and aggregation
of the rel, white and blue in part made up
for wha ever lack of artistic arrangement

business houses were hastily manufactured
reproductions of the motto Of thu
French "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite'
Portraits of NJ. Bartholdi were to Re seen
here and there with the colors of the French
Republic as a setting. The north end of the
post-office building was mass Of flags,
shields and bunting, and facing it the City
Hall seemed to vie with the Govern
ment building in display Of color. The
World building on Park row was complete

decorations. Stretching over the street was
the beautiful triumphal arch erected by the
proprietor of the paper. In the midst of the
evergreens, which conceal the framework of
the structure. were the inscription LA Belle

New York bankers who have spent
time abroad the past summer tell enter
tanning stories of the casy-goiug ways in
which business is conducted in some of
the leading European cities. In New
York from the opening hour to the clos
ing every day the bunker and the mcr-
chant are on continual rush. In Eu-
rope there is very different scheme.
The European banker may work hard
from early morning till noon, but when
noon comes he is ready for the table and
to the table he goes. The New Yorker
is used to grabbing his morsel of lunch
on the fly. The European eats leisurely
and does not allow sociability over his
viands to be interrupted by business de-
mands. Ex-President Simmons, of the
New York Stock Exchange, tells an in
teresting story, in the 7imss, apropos of
this difference between methods here and
over the ocean. He was in European
capital, and wanting some ready money,
sauntered down to banking house on
which he had letters of credit one day at
about noon. The bank was closed, the
doors were locked, everybody was gone.
Something very like shiver stole over
the frame of the genial New Yorker; to
all appearances, though no notice was
up, that bank had suspended or gone out
of busin:ss. Appearances, however, were
dcceitful, there was nothing unusual ;
business had come to standstill and the
doors were locked only because the
banks officers and the banks clerks were
hungry and had gone home to dinner.
And there is no rush over this MONDAY
meal, either; it seldom takes less than
an hour.

An American who has spent some
months in Liberia writes privately from
Monrovia, the capital, that it is built on
a bed of iron ore, nearly pure; that j
contains 5000 inhabitants, only few o.
them white, divided into natives, the
Liberians, or children born there of for
eign parents, and immigrants. The
Kroos, an aboriginal tribe. were formerly
the slave dealers of the coast, and each
man has blue tattoo mark in the mid
die of his forehead, extending to the
nose. The women paint themselves from
head to heel, many having the Liberian
or American flag painted on their bvows,
but never the British flag, which they
hate. The girls, as soon as they can
walk, are put into the gree-grce bush, a
kind of barbarous convent, where they
are taught their duties as women and
wives. They are usually sold at birth
for connubial purposes, at about Sl5

may have as many wives as he has money

bush until fourteen, when they are con-
sidercd of age. If the boys or girls dis,
close the secrets of their bush, or arc
caught in another bush than their own,
they are publicly put to death. The
country has some 100000 aboriginals,
with 10000 persons OF colonial stock,
and nearly all the semi-tropical products
arc indigenous there. The government
is modelled exactly after ours. 1t was
declared an independent state in 1917,
and, the years following, was recognized
as such by Great Britain and France.
The climate, which was once considered
fatal to Europeans, has been recently
much improved by clearances, drainage
and the like, and bids far intimately to
be inhabited bY the Western races.
