"He showed," says the Sun, "that comparative anatomy does not prove that man is a meat-eating animal, and that his tastes are no evidence of the question.— Cows and sheep have been taught to love highly seasoned food, containing meat, and the lecturer related with much grace the ar tificial habits of a favorite cow, which it appears he had taken some pains to educate. He declared that she became so humanized that she turned from her hay with ineffable contempt. He repudiated emphatically the popular opinion that Grahamism meant a bran—bread diet, and nothing else. It in cluded abundant exercise, plenty of out— doors, well aired beds and apartments, the bath, anti the avoidance of all stimulating foods and drinks, which may excite the spirits or sink them proportionably below their nit turaftirrai-Ote theiOtru haeaktre nade amongthat o(peutte whia ample by assertions insteadi of iexatiiining led rea soning. and wound up c'y L iving some stri king examples of the benefits of a rational attention to diet."

In some in stances they destroyed properly, and dam aged webs in the loom, by throwing viii - ol on them. They were kept out of the city property by the timely police arrange ments of the Mayor. Their complaint is that their wages are not sufficient to sup port a single man,not to mention a family; that they are paid for their labor in orders on a storekeeper, between wh)rn and the employer it is said there subsists an un. derstanding to charge exorbitant prices for their commodities, and to divide the spoil; and ,lastly, that having earned their wrues, they are compelled, even for this kind of payment, to wait for the space of a month. If this be true, they are ceitaioly subject to great hardships, but this is no reas n why they should wreak their yen. geance upon those poor fellows %lin ate compelled by their necessities to submit to it.

The pro. posed impeachment was vetoed by the House—for the must part, by Democratic votes. It is well for the President that there is a sufficient number of Democrats in the House to save him from the furious ven geance of the unprincipled leaders if the party that elected him, for there is no in• dignity or infamy that they would not in flict upon him fur defeating their dishonest schemes. 3 fire caused by water.—We learn from the Portsmouth Journal, that, on the 30th ult. a grist-mill at Newcastle, N. H , was destroyed by fire. In the storm on that day, says the journal, the strong east erly wind caused the tide to rise to an un usual height and, surrounding the mill, cut ofF all communication with the land.— The water at 11 A. M., coming in contact with a barrel of lime, set it on fire, and soon the whole building to the water's edge, was in flames. About 50 bushels of grain or meal were consumed. We think it is by Chesterfield the advice is given: never to hold any one by the but tan, or the hand, in order to be heard oat; for if people are unwilling to hear you. you had better hold your tongue, than them. -' o nies c ence. jittay 11, 1893, 4 0erratitrnen:—The De neeratic State Con.' vention, friendly to Mr.'Buchanan, held an afternoon session yesterday;and in the eve n;ng brought its labors to a close.

Mr. Brewster, from Philadelphia male a speech in opposition to the resolution. —He was followed by Mr. Forney of Lancaster, who spoke with eloquence and effeet in defence of the State administrolinn. The yeas and nays were called for—and that resolution was adopted by a vote of 96 to 12. With three or four exceptions, the opposition came from Phil adelphia. The House to day have been engaged in considering a hill to regulate the public printing and binding. Before any definite action was had, the House adjourned. No printer to the House has yet been elected. In the Senate, a resoluti was :olopted to elect transcribing clerks. The who'e day was spent in endeavoring to elect those c f fivers. Just as the Senate was to adjourn,it was reso!ved io continue the transcribing clerks ensployed at the late session. One of these is a Whig and the other a Demo. crat. NOXAMIXON.
