by the cabin paasengers, Mailer at the moment being
in the act of going below epptrently in utter ignorance
of what was going so. At lantine Station there WM
some del iy in the appearance of the boarding party,

appeared on board. After the identification was
finished the trunk of the prisoner was opened. In it,

unsoundly, often waking with starts, and exclaiming in

Marbury willed attention to the fact that the watch pro-

lived at Hackney. The bat supposed to belong to Mr.

PLACE CONGIISS AT FRAN [FORT. When the Peace
Cups.s was held at Frankfort the landlord of the
Hotel de Rases found that every day there woo • short-
coming of certain dishes, farina/eons dishes and puddinp
especially. la such an establishment the occurrence
was a Kendal, for the cuisine of that hotel is famous
even in that region of inexhaustible t stile igloo.
Liebig attributes this eireesaive consumption of pudding
to the feet that most of the members of the peace
dogrel were oho teetotallers, and what they lacked
in wimp they had to make up in pudding. Now it is
impossible to say that wine is not food if it replaces
pudding; and if pudding is necessary to replace wine,
sad if wine be in any sense food, it is Dot poison.
(See Westin stater Racier, 1855.) We can sub-
stantiate Profeesor Liebies testimony as to the
cioniumpl ion of pudding by our experience of our
teetotal brethren, who eschew neither swipe, entree,
nor rich gravice, all redolent of wine. The extent of
their appetites appears unbounded. We recently sat
next to one of them at • large dinner where the table
was sucaptaonaly provided. We will not attempt to
enumerate the elMmi of which be partook, but we shall
never forget his coesumption of pudding, and as the
pertains from the eon di vie, which constituted the
sauce, came woe our noes, we ventured to hint to him
that be might unknowingly be infringing his vow ; his
apt reply was "1 sidt no cperacces far condemn sake."
