To sail upon the
PnILosorHY AND PUppIsa.-Professor Silliman de-
lvered lecture or Saturday evening at the Lyceum
of Natural History on the subject of "Meeorie Fire
Balls" 1t was attended by vast number Of elegant
ladies and intelligent gentlemen. The Professor ac-
quilted himself highly to the satisfaction of the audi
ence.
The subject of Meteoric Fire Balls is of the ut
most importance in the economy of human hfe-and
no lady ought TO be ignorant of its phlesophy-ln-
deed, it is equally important with the philosophy OF
the kitchen, or a sublime knowledge of the mystery
of making puddings When Nature in her inexhaust-
ible kitchen of boundess space sets herself TO make
new world, she begins the process by the forma-
ton of "Meteoric Fire Balls'-precisely in the same
way thata good housewife who has been well married,
and who knows her duties, commences the dread
mystery OF creating good buildings or pies by con-
structng balls of fire in the CRATE or ignng anthra-
cite till it isred red hot Indeed ameng natural phi
losophers and good housewives (pretty ones, recol-
lect, for when speak of woman, in any capacity,
we mean handsome women, heavenly women, lovely
wemen, women with bright eye, smiling face, small
white hand, fine foot and elegant shape) knowledge
of the philosophy of "Meteorc Fire Balls" and In
dian or Plum buildings, now adays considered lden
tical-no woman being capable Of understanding the
mysterisus principles OF the without an accurate
knowledge Of the other.
Professor Silliman explanation and analysis of the
aeretes are of the highest Importance and influence
on the culinary art Like a pudding these articles
consis, of six subs,ances-but unlike pudding they
are semi metallic. Their specific gravity differs wide
y-but the difference arises from the difference of the
kitchen apparatus--the aroite being cooked in the
upper regions of the atmosphere the pudding IN the
lowest region OF the kitchen. Meteorc stones have
fallen upon the earth in various parts of the world
80 also have showers of pudding and baked fish pies
The former ARTICLES have fallen from the kitchen of
eternity in various countries and during various ages
of the world. As many as 300 erolites have rushed
10 this earth like fond woman to the bosom OF her
lover-some in India, some in China, one in Boku OF
Persia, one al DAigle in France in 1893 and one in
the lower regions of the Kitchen Cabinet in Washing
ton, IN 1928.
We are happy to observe that Professor Silliman 5
lectures are crowded with lades-go again dearest
creatures. Puddings and meteors excellent ar'i-
cles to understand.
ExrRAoRpiNARv TRIAL Of CLERGyMAN.-
MORALS or THE EAST COMPARED WITH THE MoRALs
or THE WnsT.-Oflate the Atlantic papers have been
proflse in publishing accounts Of the Alton tragedy
the bloody murder the Arkansas Legislature, and
every ether outbreak, Lynchng that characterize
the morals and manners of the West. These spe"i-
mems of cvIlzatisn have beenindignanty condemned,
particularly in Boston and Whereabouts.
Now this high sense of morality is all very we'll
Yet the pious and civilized people of the East ought
not TO throw their neighbors houses If their
own hasations built of glass, otherwise they
may of with the loss of character and caste
the same time. II the East is less bloody minded
less savage-less ferocious more civilized in out
ward appearance than the West il has yet its faults,
its weaknesses, its questionable moral principles,
sapping and mining the very elements Of society
In order to balance the general account current
Of morals and civilization between the East and
the West shall give in day or two the
publication of enc Of the most extraordinary TRIALS
that ever took place in New England One of the
leading points of this trial is the development OF
those ethics, which in matters of this world govern
religious communities in the holy land Of the pill
grims The principal difference between the civiIiza-
ton of the East and the West is striking and i'm
portsnt.
