The late Consul at Cadiz, Mr.. Farrell,
who had broken up the wine King
there and had been rewarded for his
hdelity and zeal by being replaced by
man who said that he would not give the
Cadiz merchants any trouble.
Mr.. Cor On. .Y.) snid he supported the
bill as DILL of retrenchment. He depre
Gated the remark Of his colleague (Hewit)
yesterday, to The effect that the bill was
reported without consideration and ex
animation. In his experience in the
House OF over sixteen years he had never
known an appropriation bill to have
been presented with more care, more
heed and more information given in ad-
vance than this bill was. He denied
that the contemplated reductions would
work any injury to commerce or naviga-
ton. He know that they struck in GER
tain places, but the people of the United
States we're not well enough off at home
to justify their keeping up representa-
tives abroad in such superb manner as
they used to- be kept up. While it might
be. said that these Ministers were not
paid enough according to the old stand
ard, they were paid enough according to
domestic if not foreign economy. He
spoke OF those who had opposed the bill
as being great economists in the abstract,
but said that when they came down to
the concrete reality their talk was but
sounding brass and tinkling cymbals."
(He did not mean the word brass :" in
an offensive sense.) (Laughter.) As to
the argument aboat the abolition OF the
consulates, her said that consu,ates
amounted to nothing in the revival of
commerce. They were hardlyijolly- boats,
hardly even bubbles, in the wake Of com
merce, and ship building was fair reve-
nue. law under which custom duties could
be properly levied. Let the taxes be re-
moved from the materials which enter
into iron and wooden ship building and
there would be q revival in American
ship-yards. From this point he drifted
into a discussion of the new tariff bill
and specified what reductions would be
made in it. The existing tariff he char
acterized as tariff which gives bounties
and subsidies and does not give revenue
In summing up Mr.. Con said: Gentle
men say that we laugh this bill out of
court. We do not mean that. We mean
to show up in the best manner (the re-
ductio ad absurdum) the way you have
conducted the best department of the
Government, Ii this is done in the green
tree what will be done in the dryl If
they can do this without accountability
in the respectable department of the
Government presided over by an honor
able Governor and Senator from New
York, what will they not do in the In
dian Department ? (Laughter.) God only

ofcourse, be IN error to affirm that every
individual Democrat In the Northern
States Is q secessionist, or pro-slavery
man, or that ne tustifies these 0utrages in
the South; but Il is true beyond all ques-
ton that the party is SO hopelessly en-
tangled with its Southern alliances that its
public policy must be shaped by its
Southern constituents. 1t is practically
impossible that 1t should be otherwise.
Gradually the people will come to see
this; the true issue will force itself upon
their notice, and their votes will be de-
termined by the same questions precisely
that were involved in the war, and which,
with slight alterations, have been the sub

The Effects of Different Foods.

How DIFFERENT foods differently affect
animal growth is surely an interesting
subject, ana especially in the relation,
more or less near or remote, which food
has to the cure or development of disease
Some OF the facts here reported are gath
cred from the relations Of individual eX-
perience, and some from the memory of
what have read. Few, if any, of them
are new, and few of much importance, eX-
cept in the connection referred TO above.
Perhaps no animals show the influence of
food on their flesh so quickly and SO dis
tinctly as swine; and what is true OF their
flesh is also, in all reasonable probability,
true OF the rest of the body-bones, blood,
viscera, etc. Thus an accomplished and
experienced butcher will tell with almost
absolute certainty how dressed hog has
been fed by the kind and measure OF re-
sistance offered to the knife in the cutting
up. If fed slop in excess, or butchers
otial exclusively, the cellular tissues will
be much increased in substance, and the
FATTY part, having larger portion Of
oleine than stearine, will be softer and
more spongy, and in cutting up offer less
resistance to the knife The carcass of
the hog ted and finally fatted on beech
nuts will, when hung up and cold, drop
oil for days; and the clear sides, when
salted and smoked, will become translu-
cent. The fat, packing part of the corn
fed swine, at temperature not above
sixty or sixty-five degrees, is harder and
hrmer, and offers more resistance to the
knife than that OF swine fed on more al
luminous foct, and will keep quite as
well, If not better, in cool ATTITUDES, be
cause the fat has more stearine than
oleine; but in the case of high tempera.
ture, with heat enough to soften or melt
the stearine, corn-fed pork is quite out OF
the question, European and Continental
governments rejecting American pork
for ships destined for the tropics
and for expeditions bound to low
latiiudes. There is another illustration
of how food affects cellular tissue. in
the fact that corn-ted American clear pork
cannot I've used for .drdtHq, since it is quite
too tender to be cut into strings and then
sown through or wound round game to
! flavor and enrich it; and for that reason
the custom OF larding-a great resource
Tor the culinary artist-has pretty much
gone out OF fashion in american COOK
cry. While, then, an exclusively Slop or
otial diet increases tissue, but decreases
stearlne, and therefore makes the prod ret
soft, spongy and oily, an exclusively
corn diet decreases tissue to the extern that
such meat cooks almost entirely away. and

Consistency.

The Democratic majority in the House
OF Representatives received, in the early
days OF the present session, a severe re-
buke from an aroused public opinion.
They bent before the indignation, and
pleaded Misrepresentation in regard to the
alleged dismissal OF worthy Union sol
diers as officials of the House, and the re-
placing OF them by ex-Confederates. 1t
was claimed on the floor that the Demo-
cratic officers had employed more ex-
Union soldiers than did the Republicans
formerly. Everyone who knew the status
OF affairs at the Capitol felt that this was
an evasion. So 1t has turned out to be.
Nearly all OF the ex-soldiers retained on
the rolls for buncOmbe by the Confederate
Doorkeeper, have since been discharged.
What few remain are in subordinate
places. The same thing is true in other
departments of the House. Democratic
chalrmen OF committees, nearly all of
whom were very green and raw, retained
in some instances the former clerks. But
this appears to have been only make
shift. When the clerk had instructed his
ignorant superior he, too, was turned
adrift. An instance of this kinu &C.

ton, was named and appointed He

Seryian Independence.

THE Servians continued subject to the
Turks for more than four centuries.
Throughout this period their condition
was in many respects happy one. The
rule of the Turkish Pashas was less op-
pressivc upon the peasantry than that of
their own teudal lords had been; their
taxes were not heavy they were permitted
freedom of worship,
At last, however, the old proud spirit of
the Servian race revived The plumber
ing corruption of the Pashas, and the in
ability of the well -disposed Sultans TO
protect them from the eXactions and ca
PRECIOUS tyranny of their own officials,
reused its long dormant but, as it APP
peared, not extinct energies. In 1904 the
Servians rose in general insurrection
They found rude but heroic leader in
Kara George, sort of maraucer of gil
gantic stature and impetuous courage,
and after struggle of eight years they
achieved their independence. Kara George
assumed thepower, and ruled despotcally,
but he preserved order, and for while
sustained himself against the attempts of
the Turks at reconquest. a sudden at
tack, however, was made by the Sultan in
1913, and so unprepa-ed was Kara George
that the Turkish troops occupied Servia
without battle, and the upstart sovereign
was forced TO fly for his life. But the
Servian spirit of independence was not
crushed by this disaster. Once more
the people rose in arms, this time
under Milosch Oberonovitch, the son
of a swine-herd. The Sultan. find
ing himself powerless to keep the
country in subsection, made terms
with Milosch and in 1929 he WAS
recognized as Prince OF Servia. and the
virtual independence OF the principally
was acknowledged bv an Imperial tirman.
The present Prince of Servia, Milan ". ,
