Mr.. Bnrr, an American, testified to the
health of the place, His child had been
sick all the time. The wife Of another
American there told me that they had
only one child, and they did not dare to
have it in Semana from fear it would
take the fever. Mr.. Price was asked in
my presence by the Commissioners how
long he had been on the island. tie re
piled that it was over fifteen months
since he first came here. When they
asked after his health, he said he had
never had days sickness. Now this
was true, but at the same time conveys
a very false impression. Mr.. Price has
been purser of the Tybcc for fifteen
months, but had resided in Samana at
the time of our visit about five weeks,
that is, since the last tri p but one of the
Tybee; and yet the Commissioners went

An exclusive diet of ordinary vcgeta-
blcs is not favorable to mans full bodily
or mental development; but bread may
form almost the sole food with benefit,
as the gluten of wheat, is as we'll adapt
ed to the nutrition of the body as is the
flesh of animals. On the other hand,
an exclusive animal diet is the least
economical of all, as it scautily supplies
the materials for respiration ;--15 lbs. of
hosh CONTAINS no more carbon than 4
lbs. Of starch; so that person with an
equal weight OF meat and starch could
support life very much longer than one
restricted to the same weight of flesh
alone. Thus we see the great advan-
tage in point Of economy of food, of a
fixed agricultural community over wan
deri1g tribes Of hunters.

The Assembly has unanimously resolved
that Jcm Irving ought to have received the
sevcrest punishment for his assault on Mr..
Weed, if lie had given the House the chance
by remaining in instead Of resigning In that
case what is TO be done with Mr.. Weed, who,
according TO some of the testimonv. 1t is
understood was about as active as Irving in
the melee, although he came ont worsted? IL
the investigation to continue in his case, and
is he to be forced to resignation to avoid
censure or expulsion? Can the democrats
allow such an effective reduction of their
majority, or are the republcans-jnst begin
ming TO feel their oats under their sudden
augmentation OF forcc-able to drive Weed
out?
II Is said that "Boss" Tweed has no appre-
publican for immediate use in case he needs
one, and that his states are not therefore
hopelessIy smashed by the blow that
"blinded Weeds pepper in the late mill" We
are not 50 certain, however. When the rcpub-
lican members find that they must bear alone
the whole odium Of the passage OF certain par
tlsan democratic jobs they will not be so
ready or willing to close bargains an when
their opposition is useless and their votes are
wanted only for make-wcight with the un-
sophisticated people Of the rural districts,
who believe any measure is full of pure repub-
lcan virtue if their members vote for 1t. The
safest way for Boss Tweed just now is to ad-
journ his Legislature and have Jem Irving re-
turned 10 his seat in time for the next session.
