A New THEORY IN REGARD TO FooD. -
A German physician has started new
theory with regard to food. He maintains
that both the vegctarians and meat eaters
are on the wrong tack. Vegetables are
not more wholesome than meat, OF meat
than vegetables, and nothing is gained by
consuming a compound of both. What
ever nutritivc qualities they may possess,
he says, is destroyed in great measure and
often entirely by the process of cooking.
All food should be eaten raw. If this
practice was adopted, there would be little
or no illness among human beings. They
would live their apportioned time, and
simply fade away, like animals in wild
state, from old age. Let those afflicted
with gout, rheumatism and indigestion,
try for time the effect Of n simple I'M
cooked diet, such rs oysters and fruit for
instance, and they will find all medicines
unnecessary and such rapid improve
ment of their health that they will for
swear all cooked articles of food once and
forever. Intemperance would also, it is
urged, no longer be the curse Of civilized
communities. The yearning for drink is
caused by the unnatural abstraction from
what are termed "solids" of the aqueous
element they contain-uncooked bcef, fol
example, containing from seventy to eighty
per cent, and some vegetables even u larg.
er proportion of water. There would be
less thirst, and consequently less desire tc
drink, if our food were consumed in its
natural state, without first being subjected
to the action of fire. Clothing, our adviser
also thinks, is mistake, but admits that
the world is not yet far enough advanced
in civilization to go about undrcssed


Whatever differences of opinion may cX


ist us to this anticookinS theory, there
cannot be n doubt that in getting rid of the
kitchen, with all its abuses-including the
cook housckeepers would be spared ;
vast amonnt of worry, and probably on
this account alone would live to a greater

You've INDIANS AT SCuooL.-There is
in the national school at Hampton, Va,
some forty Indian boys. and smaller
number of girls. The intention was that
there should be an equal number of boys
and Girls, but some difficulty was found
in persuading the parents to permit the
Girls to come; first, because they wished
to have the benefit of their work at homo
second. because some OF the older Indians
were opposed to any innovation upon the
ancient ,theory that the female is an inie,
rior. One mother of very pretty child
said she would not let the little one come
to be-educated unless she could come with
her; and the reason she gave was that
otherwise the child would return to despise
her ignorant mother. Both mother and
daughter are now here at school. in the
same class, and together they are moving
rapidlv into the realms of knowledge
The desire of those who are conducting
this Indian experiment is to educate the
sexes simultaneously, so that the Indian
woman of the future shall be the equal OF
the Indian man, and shall not drag back
into barbarism the males who have been
brought out into the enlightenment OF civ
ilization. The wisdom of this proceeding
is obvious.

strength lies in its ability to infame the
North against the South. 1t accepts the
result in Ohio as an Endorsement of the

Every Republican paper is filed with the

NEARLY every measure that is or has
been attached to an appropriation bill which
involves new legislation is loaded there for
the reason that it is unmertorious or weak,
or so pernicious that it cannot succeed on
its own merits. 1t either involves some
questionable Job, some scheme of plunder,
is some measure of i'll advantage, or wrong,
or perfdy, that would not stand the scrutiny
of justice, and hence, MS sort of snap-judg-
ment, is pulled through to a law rather
than that the appropriation shall fail. 1t is
about time this system of fraudulent, free
booting footpadsm in legislation, which is
substantially your money or your life,
should be abandoned as unjust, un-Ameri-
can, and unbecoming Government which
seeks justice and wisdom in its laws and its

Mr.. HURD of Ohio, made q speech in the
House on Tuesday last, which was ac-
knOwledged to be one Of the best, clearest,
and most effective presentations of the
Democratic side of the pending controversy.
But it appears that, cautious as he was, and
careful to conceal the real design of the
Democracy in this contest-which is moth
ing more nor less than desire to overthrow
all the forms Of government and seize upon
the administration Of affairs in the interest
of Bourbonsm-he exposed the ultimate
conclusion Of the conspiracy in the follow
ing very significant language;


Mr.. Chairman, / do not believe the majority
Of this House will be intimidated from their
duty by the threat Of any President [applausel
much less the threat of a President whose
title to Office Is so doubtful, and whose tenure
OF Office is as yet so uncertain.


No words at the prolific command of the
speaker could have been used to convey
clearer idea Of the real meaning of thisnew
Democratic rebellion, nor could Mr. HURD,
if he had tried, succeeded in making more
distinct threat against the Executive, than
is conveyed in the concluding phrase of this
quotation from his speech In short, this
accidental exposure shows exactly how far
the Bourbons are ready to so in their attempt
to destroy the barriers against fraud at the
ballot-box, which stand between them and

ONE of the strangest features of the pend
ing debate in the House is the ignorance of
Northern Republicans who are engaged in
it regarding the details Of the prosecutions
to which their Southern copartisans have
been subjected since the war. A careful
reading of the reports of the Ku Klux
and other investigations into the
Southern outrage business would fur
nish them with pertinent material
with which to answer some of the i'm
pertinent boasts and unblushing misstate-
ments Of the majority regarding Southern
affairs. The fact that this ignorance exists
is not at all creditable to them, for it shows
their utter and selfish disregard of these
murderous prosecutions at the time they
were being investigated, and that their in
terest in the welfare of their copartisans in
the South has only now been awakened ai-
ter that disregard has had its legitimate eff
feet of wiping the Republican party out Of
existence in that section Of the country.

The following extract is from am interest

Masonic Journal. The correspondent being a
Mason from New Haven Conn, now sojouru-
ing in Paris:


There are in France two rites of Masonry,
which while different in some respects of
minor Importance, still hold To the ancient
legends OF the Order The drill and drama
are different from our American York Rite,
but the groundwork is of course the same.
These are Scotch Rite and French Rite Tn
fortunately for themselves and the Masonic
world at large. the latter of these has taken %
position which estranges them from the Frater-
nifty at large in other countries in absolyiug the
candidate from profession of faith in Deity.
This, Of course, prevents our American broth
ers from affiliating with them. The Scotch
Rite, on the contrary, requires, az all other
Masons do, belief in a Supreme Being, and
with them / have met on several occasions in

those who have attained 10 the Chapter,
Council or Consistory are men OF solid habits,
OF high moral principle who practice what
they profess and have reached or passed the
middle of the stream of life. To be a Master
Mason here, is to have obtained an honorable

Master is looked up to by an Apprentice with
respect far greater than one in "a similar

make ready for the execution. For a
moment the little wife was completely
overcome. She fell on her husbands g

fixed eyes, she set about to array her
husband for his awful doom. A neat
