Yet, thanks to the sdmirable mauagement of the Chicago & Alton Railroad, sud especially to the supervis- ton of fts Geueral Manager, Mr, J. O.

At Alton, which s reached early fo the morning, a Lreakfust-var is uttached 1o the tralu; s0 the truvelers lntent ou business 1uuy partake of an excellent repust cre reachlog telr destination. We confeas to & feeling of some alsappolut- ment on firsC beholding the great brides,—that structurg the cost of which exceeded 815,000,000, and thé interest on which smounts to aver €106 per dag. Asls well known, the bridga J not a paying enterpriso, notwithstanding the fact that, in addition to the foot and carringe trafli, the steam cars are traversing It from morning until night, Inden swith DRRsCNEErs, rach paving 25 cents to the bLridme company. 81, Louls people seem to prefer crossing to Enst #t. Lonts by means of the swift steamboats, which Iand” passengers at the most convenlent and central points of the Jeves. Moreaver, the bridge having ceased fo be the longest in the \mrr,the curiosity attaching to it on the part of touriats must hHo greatly diminished. It is somawhat of a hurdship to pedestrians that, on reaching the Eaet 8t. Louls and of the bridge. they should be forced to make s0 long s detour ore reaching thelr destination, Cant. Gieosee t, Rea, the Prestdent, and Mr. Hanr<ick, the Superintendent, of the Mississtppi Valtey Transportation Company, had expressed n deafre that we should inspect thelr system of slver-baries, and accordingly wa forthwith proceeded to theoflices of the Cnmrluy whence a tug-boat convered ns n few miles down the Miesinsippl, and enabled us thoroushly to ex- amina several of those mouster wooicn bulls which convey 50,000, 40,000, and 50,000 bushels of groin down to New Otleans, Much has been sald, and can be sald, agninst these vessels, the syerago Jifs of which Is but acven years. Mr. Charles P. Chouteau, the well-known capi- talist, Is at presont in England, with a view to attracting Brittah funde ler(‘{l the construe. tion of an cotirely new typo of iron steambioats and barges, which, he cantends, can be operated with far more eafety and economy, and yicld afar llrternwflt—uruh:funln sayat throeand a hall conts & bushel, and taking twenty days for the round trip—than can the present old- fashloned -boats. 8tlll, there can be no doubt that the barges now in use are dolng excellent service to the commerce of 8t Louls, enabling it to furnish gooda direct to numbers of towns and townships which, in times gone by, were forced to draw thelr supplies irom New Or- ns, The widening of the mouth of the Mlm;nlnnl bawing so greatly facilltated the tr ( grain from the barges to ocean steamers, Capt. Roa himself s about proceeding to Kngland with a view to induce thc Barings, and other English houses Interestea In the New Orleans trade, to lay on o regular line of eteamers be- tween that port and Liverpool. As_matters stand at present, {t seems that the through bill-of-Iading system, which wo Liad foind to he one of the regular features of the Chiengo shipmenta to Europe, was almost en- troly in its |nfnn(’:§ in the frans-oceantc business of 5t. Louls. enco, of courss, merchants there bave nulhh\? like the same factlities for the negotistion of thelr drafts that Chicago merchants enjoy. Inconsiderable quantity of Wa found no winter-wheat, of finc quality, reachiug 8t. Louls from Texas, and, although to a lesser extent, from Boushern Illinofs. Yet the fact of 8t, Loufs being without the lake acllitlos possessed by Chicago, and only having three great trunk- linos to convey her ‘produce to the East, must tend, together with the lack of regular stcam cominunlcation from New Orleans, to nrluvc her at a groat disadvantage with the Garden City, with ifs almost perfect communications East, West, and Bouth, The strests of dt. Louls, being arranged like those of Philadelphls, 1nevluhl{' remind the forelgner of tho stald Quaker City. Fourth and Fifth stroets, as well as Washington sve- nue, were as lively as could be wished; but how differeut was the gencral appearance of the thoroughtares from that of Chicago streots. ‘The hotels, with thelr overhanging verandahs, looked mora ilke provincial Lostclrles, and boro not even the faintest resemblanca 1o the Palmer Honse or the Grand Pacliic, The Exchange 1s a bulldiog far superlor to the edifice on Washington street wherefn the bulls and beara fight for bitter 1ife four to five hours a day. Yot how different is tho aspect of the two Boards. At 8t. Louls e fouud tho merchantsleisurely walking up to the Chamber of Comtncree, allttle after 11 proviousto which hour they had popped in avery faw minutes to the bucket-shops, where tho quotations from the Chicugu Boarl wore exhibited evory five min- utes. ~ At noon there was a call, and at 1the Exchange was over,—the afternoon Call Board having been prorogued until the termination of the lieated torm, and the 8t. Louls merchants thus being fres to leave their offices almost in- medlately alter the 8:80 p. m, quotations trom Chlcago had informed them of the closc'of the day’s markets. Nor, from the inquirics made in a varlety of quarters, could wa discover that, desplte the greater volume of business trana- acted in the Garden City, there was any more dufaulting, repudiation, or cenoral dishonesty thera than in tho city forining the contre of the great Miustsslppl Vallay. 8L, Louis has some very pretty drives, among the flucat of which fs that through Tower-Grove 1'ark to Mr, Ilenry Bhaw's Uarden. The mae ority ot Cnicagoans ars so familtur with this [amous gariten, that it would be folly for us to attempt to rive any description of “the place, which has been frequently compared with the well-known Rew Gardens, near London. Buffice it to suy, that Mz, Sbaw, the hearty septudge- narlan fin:llnhmln wlo donated " the park to theclty, sod who has also, by his will, be- queathed the garden to the peopie of 8t. Loul recatves all visitors with the same geniallty an kindtiness for which he bscame renowned wany, wmany vears ago, The park itself has, within the lant fow weeks, been embellished witha finely-exscuted stutie of Shakapeare, with a nutuber of the characters in his pli adorning tuc lower panels of the bronzo. ‘The Mercantlle Library is o bulldiog well worth visithug, on account of its numerous paintings, und Miss [larriet Ilosmer's fife- sized statnes of Beatrics Cencl and Uinone, ‘I'he streets of the city are better paved, and far cleancr, than thoso of Chicuzo, Yet, s a counterbulaucing evil, the water of 8t.

Vetorinary Ilygieno: XLIV. The Impor- tance of Oxygen to Orgnnlo Lifo—Tho Quantity of Oxygen Contatned In the At- mosplioro—Ozone—Veterinary Buoks. From Our Own Correspondent. Cuicaco, June 20.—Atmospheric afr pasees Into the lungs st each breath; thero an ox- change of gases is taking place. The nitrogen 1s exhaled agafp, but a part of the oxygenis absorbed by the blood, and carrled by that fluld to avery part of tho body, snd fnto ovory tissue, and there the oxygen develops Its activity, It introduces and effects the change, or motamor- phoals, of mattor necessary to tho preservation of the organism, and to tho pruduction of ant- mal heat. Without oxygeo, worn-out tissue cannot be dissolved and removed, and new tls- sus caunot be produced. It s neccssary to ev- ery process of life. Tha carbonle acld exchangod for oxygen, and carried by the venous blood to the alrcells of the lungs, whers the ex- chauge Is taking place, is essentially tho product of the slow combustion effected by the oxywen. It is & gas, for which the organfsm has no further use, and which becomes danger- ous to lifa it not promptly excreted. If no ear- bonlc scid is discharged by the blood in the luogs, no oxygen can be taken up, and the or- ganic change of inatter, indisponsable to every process of 1ife, and conscquently to life ftsclf, must cease. Tho same will be the case if tha supply with oxygen is cut off, or If .the blood contains so much carbonic acid as to maka an sbaorption of s sniliclent quantity of oxygen supossible. An accumulation of carbonic acld in tha blood and in the tissuos becomnes polson- ous, or dangcrous to lite, probably only by pre- veuting the absorotion of a sufliclent quantity of oxygen. The animal organism (the lungs oad the blood) contalu never morc oxygen than what i ncoded for almosy {mmedlate use, or will be econsumed within o fow minutes. The resniration, or the exchange of gases in the lungs, therefore, can suffor oul‘y & vory sliort in- terription without danger to fife. The supply with oxygen must bo a constant onc. If not interruptod, hut fnaufliclent, the organle change ot matter will bo reduced, the proccases ot life will go ou slowly sud inertly, and organic disor- ders will bo the result. If tho supply of oxyken {s Incraased,~if, for Instance, the alr inhaled is unusualty Tich [n oxywun,—~the processes of Ille will proceed with greater colerity and with more energy; thio organic chango of watter, the proc- ess agwnux and repair, will ba quicker, and o more extousive; the blood will possess more vitality, aud its color will be a lightor rod; the quantity of carbonic scid exhaled will be great- or; all actlons and movemonts will take place with greater facillty; and the anlmal will feol refrushed, and be comfortable. If, however, such su abnurmally large supply with oxygen is continued for soine tine,—iu other words, it antinal ls compellod to breathe for somo lengeh of time in an atmosphers which contains an sbnormally large percentage of oxygen,—the effect will bs & disastrous one; destruction (combustion or oxldation) of the animal tissues wiil be the result.
