I would respectfully invite the attention
of the public to this new and novel process
for preparing Meats, Vegetables ali i Fruits.
With this process fruits of all kinds can be
kept in open vessels without dange; ol fer-mentation,
obviating the expense of nermet-ically
sealing; nothing deleterious to health
is used, as you will see by, the testimony of
the following medical gentlemen, which I
have permission to use. It is simple, cheap
and requires little time and labor. The cost
does not exceed three cents per barrel for
corn; two cents per bushel for tomatoes,
etc.; cucumbers, okra, beans, peas, fruits,
etc., for a trifling sum. Meats can be pre-served
effectually in the same way, at a cost
not exceeding five cents per hundred pounds.
Persons using this process will effect a large
saving in their household expenses, and
have fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, etc., at
all seasons of the year!
by permission, reference is made to the
fol’owing persons, who have eaten of the
vegetables : Dr. Hills, Covington, Indiana ;
J. C. Hills, Willoughby, Ohio; Mr. Knowles,
late of Nebraska ; Mrs. E. M, Berry, late of
Illinois ; J. C, Harley, R. L. Wilson, Dallas;

We certify that we are familiar with J. W.
Davenport’s method and apparatus for pre-serving
Meats, Fruits and Vegetables, and
can testify to Its succesBIul working. W e
also further certify that no injurious or pois-onous
agents are employed by him in this
preserving process. Heat, at the boiling
point, effectually and completely dispels all
the agents used in this process.

London, May IS—A Paris dispatch says
M. De Lesseps had a long interview with
the Due De Cazis, relative to measures to
be taken to secure the neutralization of the
Suez Canal, during the present war. The
French shareholders of the caual seem to
suspect the intentions ol the English fleet.
The Standard’s Rome special telegraphs:
“I hear that naval officers on leave have
been recalled. All army officers have been
ordered to hold themselves in readiness to
rejoin their commands.”
The Times’ Belgrade dispatch says the
Russian Consul has declared in a special au-dience
with Prince Milam that Russia has
notified Austria and England that Servia
will obscjye neutrality, and that a Russian
corps will not enter Servia, it being excluded
from the plane of operations.
A daily Telegraph dispatch dated Matchin,
Monday, says “the Russians are apparently
making an attempt to cross the Danube.
Heavy artillery firing has been going on up
to the moment of my sending th s dispatch,
and the Turks have been successful in re-peiling
the attack. The Russians are be-lieved
to be in,great force.”
The Telegraph’s Bucharest dispatch con-firms
the capture of the Turkish gunboat,
which tried to pass Kalafat. The coTe-spondent
says he has ascertained beyond
doubt that the Servian authorities have
accumulated large stores of forage and
provisions at Melon. The Turkish gunboat
was forced to surrender neat; Kalafat, bo-cause
of the heavy fire from the Russian
batteries.
The Grand Duke Nicholas and Prince
Charles ot Roumaula have had a meeting,
and the latter’s position in the army was
satisfactorily arranged. Nicholas arrived
at Bucharest to day. The Czar, by isolated
action, has receded from the alliance of the
Empires, but is still bound to abstain from
any action injurious to Germany and Aus-tria.
Roumanla has been notified that if
she commences hostilities or declares her
independence, she forfeits the protection

fifs.ek
New York, May 15,—At the annual ban-quet
of the Chamber of Commerce, Hayes
said:
“Mr. President—It is a gratification to me
to have this opportunity to meet such an
assemblage of the busiaess men of the city
of New York. I wish to make my acknowl-edgements
to them for their invitation to
eejoy wit h them their annual social meeting.
I wish to assure them that this hearty greet-ing
is very welcome to me. At peace with
all the nations of the world, with an honest
purpose on the pfrt of our people and the
part of the government, we would choose
t# strive for the testoration of the ancient
concord within our own limits. [Hurrahs
and great applause.] I believe thfit not-withstanding
the unfortunate array of fig-ures
which has been disentombed, I believe
that we may confidently look for an early,
decided and encouraging revival of busi-ness
profitably throughout our country.”
The 7 to 8 unost at the Banquet.
It has been ascertained, beyond any
question, that invitations to attend the
Chamber of Commerce banquet were sent
to ex-Governor Tilden, Gov. Robinson, and
all leading officials of the State ; but they
all declined, lest their presence should seem
an endorsement of the declaration of Mr.
Hayes’ election.

places were filled by new men, but who
were subsequently taken back for the most
part, so that only one hundred men were re-tained.
have for a long time been kept sep-arate
from the “Black Legs” (as the novl-ces
are called) to avoid trouble from the
jealousy of the old miners. Of late how-ever
the two gangs have been allowed to
mingle, and yesterday the rankling hate of
the old miners found expression by some of
their number putting poison in the dinmer
buefcets of the new men. Lost night some
sixty of the victims were in the throes of
agony, and many of them will undoubtedly
die from the effects of the poison, while the
lives of all of them hang upon a thread.

How to Increase the Flow of
Milck.—A lady correspondent
writing to us from Arkansas, gives
us the following excellent reciept
to increase the flow of milk in a cow
and we can endorse it for we have
seen it tried. She says: “Tepid
water slightly salted given twice
a day will increase the flow ©ne-third;
if the cow will not drink it
at first scatter a handful of brand
or meal over the top of it, they
soon become very fond of it and
will drink all you give them.—Ex.
