Yeast n Plant.

Housekkepers will be interested in knowing
that yeast is a plant. When examined under
the microscope, says the London Quarterly
Revieac, it is found to consist of globular
..vesiclM about l-2500th of an inch in diane
ter when full grown. They are multiplied
by little vesicles. budding out from the side
of the parent. These soon acquire an equal
size, and repeat the reproduction, either while
attached to the parent globnle, or after sep
arating from it. The multiplication goes on
to an indefinite extent, with Hitting supply
of food and moderately warm temperature
(79 degrees to 80 degrees Fahr.) The vesi-
cles, are nourished by sucking in portion OF
the organic liquid in which they exist. decom-
posing this chemically, and either actually
outer surface, of earbonic acid in the form of
gas, which appears as bubbles IN the liquid.
This, however, is not all.
"Some phenomena accompany tie growth
of yeast which involve one OF the most alb
struse, and at present, obscure questions OF
modern chemistry. The yeast is wasteful
feeder. Not only does it decompose so much
of the liquid as it requires for its own nutri-
tion but its produces similar decomposition
In the liquid around if, which is referred by
chemists to the same unexplained force by
which many inorganic substances cause the
combination. or separation, of substances
without themselves undergoing alteration.
An example is furnished by the action of
spongy platinum upon mixture of hydrogen,
and oxygen gases. causing them to unite and
pooduce water. This contact-aetion is at pres
sent stumbling block to natural philosophers
many of whom are earnestly endeavoring TO
surnount it, and when this is accomplished,
| they will probably secure point ofvantage.'
| whence they will gain an insight into null
| titude ofunexplained phenome ma ofvegetable
| and animal chemistry"

My DEAR SIR:-You do me no more than
Justice in your kind letter. for which accept
nv thanks. in assuming that do not concur
with the Administration in their views re-
speeding the rights u Daturalized citizens,
a. defined in the "LeClerc letter." which it
is proper to observe, have been since material
ly modified. 49,
: Under our Constitution there can be no
lust distinction between the right OF native
born and natnralized citizens to claim the
protection of our Government. at home and
abroad. Unless naturalization release the
person naturalized from all obligations
which he owed to his native country, by
virtue OF his allegiance, il leaves him in the
sad predicament of owing allegiance to two
countries, without receiving protection from
either-a dilemma in which no American
citizen should ever be placed.
Neither have you Inexperienced my
opinions in respect to the African slave trade.
That question seriously disturbed the harmo-
nv of the Convention which framed the
Federal Constitution. Upon it the dele
gates divided into two parties, under circum-
stances which. for time, rendered harmoni-
Gus action hopeless. The ole demanded the
instant and unconditional prohibition of the
African slave trade, on moral and religious
grounds. while the other insisted that 1t was
a legitimate commerce, involving no other
consideration than a sound public policy,
which each State ought to be permitted to
determine for itself, so long as 1t was sane
toned by its own laws
Each party stood firmly and resoluteiy by
its own position until both became convinced
that this vexed question would break up the
Convention, destroy the Federal Union. blot
out the glories of the Revolution, and throw
away ali its blessings, unless some fair and
inst compromise could be formed on the COM
mon ground of such mutual concessions as
were indispensable to the preservation OF
their liberties, Union and independence.
Such.a compromise was effected and incor-
porated into the Constitution, by which 1t
was understood that the African slave trade
might continue as legitimate commerce IN
those States whose laws sanctioned 1T until
the wear 1903, from and after which time
Congress might and would prohibit 1t forever,
throughout the dominion and limits OF the
United States, and pass all laws which might
become necessary to make such prohibition
effectuaL The harmony of the Convention
was restored, and the Union saved by this
Compromise, without which the Constitution
could never have been made.
stand firmly by this compromise, and by
all the other compromises of the Constitution,
and shall use my best efforts to carry each
and all of them into faithful execution, in the
sense and with the understanding in which
they were originally adopted. In accordance
with this compromise, / am irreconcilably
opposed to the revival of the African 81 ave
trade, in any form and under any circum-
stances.
am, with great respect yours, truly,
