THE FESTIVE OYSTER.
A Natural Utstory of the Popular B1.
valve--An Intoresting Lecture.
11om (he Balimore Sun.
Rev. Dr. y. 0. Morris leotured on
"The Natural History of the Oyster"
at the Second English Lutheran
church, Thursday night, before a
large audience. The subject had
boon chosen for him, but there
could not be a wore luscious and
juicy one, nor one more full of in.
terest. A great doal had been said,
written and practiced about it
4here was indeed a vast oyster prac
tice in Baltimore every day-but
most people knqw little of the life
)ud habits of the oyster. It was
:ut of the way of ordinary lecture
subjects of the present day, most of
which are as dry as "punk." There
were curious and laughable things
about an oyster, but there was
much more than that in the subject.
There was its immense financial im'
portance in a mercantile view.
Thousands of men, women and
children were given employment
here in the oyster trade who would
otherwise have no work in the win
ter season. There were $4,000,000
invested in it in Now York City, and
probably a great deal more than
that in Maryland.
The oyster was well known to the
ancients thousands of years ago,
though it is not mentioned in the
Biblo, unless under the general class
of shell fish and molusks, but the
profane writers are loud in their
praises. No dinner could be com
plete without oysters. Here in
Maryland there is full evidence of
their antiqUity. Vast beds of shells
ten feet thick are found at great
distances from the shores of thu bay,
showing that the inhabitants in old
times had carried the bivalves .away
to feast on them. The heaps wore
now covered with other soil.
It is not known who was the first
man to eat an oyster, but he was
a very brave .xan to put such a
looking animal in his mouth and
swallow it, without knowing wheth
ar it was good to eat or not. Tra
lition has it, that long and long
igo, a man walking by the bay shore,
saw a curious, ugly object. half
.overed in the weeds. He gave it
i kick, when the oyster opened its
mouth, and he saw the white pearly
Ahject within. The man pried euri*
msiy at it, and put a finger in the
slld, which wias instantly clamped
:lown. Jerking out his finger, he
placed it in his mouth to cease the
pain. Getting a taste of tLe juice,
[ie found it good, and, breaking
:>pen the sholl he ate the whole
:yster. This discoverer told his
riends., and oysters quickly became
inown as delicacies.
Everybody eats oysters. To a
Aev the taste is not natural, but the
rippetite is soon trained, and these
become the~ greatest eaters of them.
MIen of old days ate oysters all day
Long, and it was true now that men
could eat just as many raw ones as
they could find room for in the
capacity of.-well, call it what you
shoose, Cooked oysters would
surfeit. The raw oyster was so
easily digestible, because it
was firstly composed of seven
3ighths water, slightly gelatinized,
mnd a small quantity of nutritive
matter ; accondly, its liver, the
black part.of the oyster, was larger
n nroportzon than in man, and
secretred a great a deal of bile,
Tis, with the fluids of the stomach,
muake two factors of digestion, and
bhe oyster partl4y digests itself.
The oyster is one of the few
inimals eaten alive,- for it is not
exactly dead when swallowed,
rnless you cut it in pieces first.
[ts natural history commences with
the shell, which is no part of the
animal at all, but only a house, It
is composed of cai-bonate of lime.
Thme two black marks on the insid6
are where the adstrictoy. puiele
adhered to it. This muscle is called
the heart, but is not thaQ heart at
all. It keeps the shell shut, and
when ft relaxes th9- shell opens of
itself from th.e pressure of the
animal inside. The oyster hatches
its egg i.nhide the shell, and there
is no malo or fernale,. sex, every
systfr being eapable of producing

At three years old they are edible,
but are better at four ears and
over. Inside the body s covered
with a thin white mantle. This has
the power to assimilate carbonate
of lime from the sea water, whidh
it deposits in layers, forming the
shell. The lecturer gave an inter
osting account of the inner struc
ture of the oyster, and of its man
ner of taking food, which consists
of the smallest animalculm. Pearls
are gravel or some foreign sub
stances which had gotten into the
sh0ll and are eovered by the
animal with caloarious matter.
The oyster has lungs, heart, liver,
blood, which is white, not red,
nerves and stomach, but no brain
and no eyes, Its enemies are,
after man, the borer, the driwm fish
and the star fish. These destroy
great numbers. If allowed to pro
duce uniolested they wotld soon
fill the Chesapeake Bay and drive
all the water out. The manner of
taking oysters, both by dredges and
tongs, was described, The oyster
crab was not a baby crab, but a
distinct animal. ]Re did not believe
that oysters ware eapable of feeling
pain. They had no voice and made
no fuss, though they often got into
broils and stews. No doubt of that,
