De Cosmos was in a 'loveless minority. Tiii job had been held back till the eve .of the close of the session ; unless legislation was. taken be fore noon of a. given day the. act act of confisca tion would fail. The - day before the expiration of the limitation. De Cosmos got the floor about 10 a. m., and began a speech Tang the bill.-:-. Its friends cared little, for they suppoied that - by one or two o'clock he would be througb,and the bill could txt put on its ,passage. One o'clock came and De Cosmos was speak ing still—hadn't more than entered upon' his subject. Two o'clock—he was. saying "in the second place." Three o'eloCk—he° prOduceda leartul bundle of evidence, and insisted Cu read king it. The majority began io , ,have l suspic ion of the truth—he was ioing to speak till next noon and. kill the bill. For,a While they made Merry over it ; but, as it came on to dusk they began to get alarnml. They , trieq inter , ruptions, but soon Abandoned them because each one affordedtim a Lchance to digress and gain time. • ' They . tried to ihgta him down, butthat gave gave him a breathing 'space, and finally they settlid down to watch the combat between strength of will and weakness'of body. . They gave him no mercy: No adjournment for-din ne no chance to more. than Wet his lips with Rater ; no wandering horn his subject ; no sit-, ting , down. • Twilight darkened ; the gas was, lit ; members s liped out to dinner its relays,and returned to sleep in squads, but .

But still, the speaker kept on ; 41, at last, noon same to a baffled majority, livid with rage and impo,, tence, and a simile man, whO was triumphant, .though his voice:had sunk to a husky whisper, his eyes, which were _almost i shut, were bleared: and bloodshot, his legs thttered under Jahn, and his baked lipS Were cracked and smeared with blood.

' • Tiavelers on railroads often want to know the speed at which they are moving, and. as ti general thing, are not aware that with the aid of a watch they inartruilly find put. even when the mileposts are not placed along the tra c k. . . - This may be done by Isimply - county the rails: which are passed over fn any elven minute.— On the best railroads, the hammerink sound made by the wheels in passing t-om' one rail to another is quite audible, and !:nay be easily no ted on whichever,: side of the Car the observer may be sitting. All Fails arid either twenty-four or thirty-six feet long—the \ length may be tAtl3l-- ly ascertained by pacing or measuring with a pocket rule at any station lihenever the train stops, then ,by counting the number.er rails Passed in thirty-six seconds, the speed may be caiculated by any pa4e.nger.

The supe- riority of this system over the old slaughter houses may , be summed up iu a few words : It centralizes the whole - butchering interests by melting to combine the numerous petty es- tablishments, into ; one, and- I dispenses with , the i barbartius practice of :driving herds of cattle throve crowded streets, to the imminent peril 'of life and property. Being conductcid op a scale of considerable magnitude, it permits of a rigid inspection by : the :; ltyallh officials. The 'waste is reduced to a minimurn,and utilized for agritultural purposes.. Thus decomposition is, in a, great measure, prevented, and the noxious emauistkins so pluusiterisgio: nt;:a,.shiughter house are nearly or entirely suppressed. 01 this diseription is the ne,w.nbattoir on the above'MarkCt street: This building and the surroanding - stock yard are the Proper ty of the Pennaylvania railroad company, and have been leased for n term of years to the - Philadelphia stockyard omPany, - ; which'com pany, which company is:also-interested in-the Heroin:W - 9 Co%re abattoir, on tbe,slte of the old' Manhattan market, in New York. Thia'build- having been the subject , of the letter of remon strance (in Nov. 1874,) sent .by; a comtnittee or. citizens to the Pennsylvania railroad company against its erection on the proposed site, urging that such an establishment in the heart of the city, would prove. pernicions to the health of its inhabitants. All efforts, however; were futile, and'the injunction, whicti was sub sequently appliel foi, was disso:vpd. I ' . SCIEiC,rIFX9 8114UGHTEWI S TG. 14.5,j ng is i well known *to many of our readers as .

'hOw , bOaat of ar :abattoir as thoroughly scientfic. in':itsi'...ap‘point*ht as any smillar estaNishment in the world. 1, The Philadelphia stock yard embraces about 21 acres on the Western bank of the Schuyl kill, eitending north from Market street, and bounded on the west by the machine shops of the Pennsylvania railroad. It is payed through- out with Belgian blocks;fillesl in with Portland cement, and is Covered with , numerous sheds, capable of affording shelter to 7,500 cattle and all Many sheep. These are brought in cattle cars on a side track to the very gates of the yard and thus all rehandling or driving is avoided. Besides the abattQlr and sheds, the yard contains the office of the company, a sub stantial wooden, structure :two stoiries_high; the first floor of which is occupied by the connting rooms, the telegraph ... 901ces, barber shops, etc., while the second floor is divided into numer ous offices, occupied by, stock men,'butchers, etc. The building is heated by steam and light:. ed \ hY gas. The total cost of the yard . and ini provements is estimated at $600,000. The abattoir is, situated , in the centre of the yard and faces west. It waabuilt from designs executed , by Mr. Thorne, the architect of the Pennsylvania railroad Company. It is a brick building, having two floors., whilst a high vaul ted ronf,surrognded by large transom windows, secures perfect ventilation. The main 'floor is a spacious atiartmerlit, 200 feet long by 100 feet in width. It 6 paved .with asphaltum and abundantly,supplied with hot and cold water. In the center of the room- are . immense iron pens, which, communicate with the stock yard by a brick causeway. Into these pens the cat• tie are driven and here the 'slaughtering is done Theinimals are.'killed in one of two ways.— First, a rope is fastened to one of the hind legs of the animal, and passing 'through a pulley. Which depends from a beam overhead, is at taChed to a drum wOrked by a iltaible geared, crank. tows; revolutions of this crank throics the animal forward on its Shoulders, and in this position its throat is cut, or second. if the animal is unruly, it is stunned by a spear. This plan was introduced ..originally from Russia and 'Lapland; where the natives were wont tozkill the reindeer in this Manner. Its plan merits a few words of ekplanation : uro - ss , . ing the pens; immediately over the animal's head; is a gangway, on which is stationed a . man armed with , a sharp spear attached to a heavy handle. .By one thrust this weapon is made to penetrate th Spinal cord, between the - tipper cervical vertebrm, producing an instant cessation of all the powers- uf vitality, and the animal falls without a. struggle and 6 bled at once. The, blood is caught - in - suitable iressels, and conveyed to, the drying tanks, where it is evaporated to dryness and then sold as a terti lizer.. . After skinning, the animal is quartered and \ • hung:upon sliding liooks,which may be brought within a- few feet Of the wagon which is to car ry the carcass away. -The bides are removed to the lower, floor, where they are promptly salted, and thus decomposition 'is' arrested.
