Congrrs". If one were to judge, from the denunci ation heaped upon Congress, of the char acters and rjualificnt ions of the members of that body, and of their devotion to their public duties, he would set them down as not only a very inferior set of men, but wholly actuated by bad and criminal instincts. That portion of the press which calls itself "independent" and "liberal," but which never fails to demonstrate its independence and liberal ity by exhibitions of narrow, carpinir criticism, base personal selfishness and sensational denunciation of all who stand in its way ; which arrogates to itself the possession of all the culture and brains in the country, has taken upon itself the work of holding up the present Congress, individually and collectively, to public ridicule and contempt, liy turns its members are denounced as corrupt and imbecile, while scarcely a measure lias been proposed or introduced which has not been reflected to the public through the same jaundiced vision. Now, what are the facta to offset this " liberal" view of our law-makers? Manifestly they are of a nature to justify entirely opposite opinions and conclu sions. Aside from those Congresses which had to meet the issues of our reat civil war, and the subsequent re construction of the Southern States, few, if any, of its predecessors have been com pelled to grapple with as momentous and perplexing questions. None lias ever ad dressed itself to the work which it found upon its hands with more real earnest Eess, and judging from the results achieved, aud those w hich may with con fidence be predicted, with more of genuine ability and statesmanship. It has taken time and much discussion to arrive at a settlement of these great questions of the day, but progress has been continually evident to every one who had a wish or care to s e it. The statement of a few points will afford the reader who has a desire to judge correctly with some data for properly estimating the Forty-third Congress : 1. It has been freer from the manipula tion of the lobby than any of its predeces sors lor the past thirty years. Nothing in the nature of special privileges to any class has found favor with it, or is likely to, during its continuance. This is a great point gained an isolated fact in the history of recent Congressional legislation. 2. It lias, by large majorities in each branch, distinctly avowed its determina tion to adopt measures which will give financial ease and business security to the country. While its action, through the passage of a distinct measure, has not yet crystallized into permanent form, this emphatic indication of its probable course in the near future has already alForded a vast and most visible relief to every branch of business throughout the nation. Confidence is fiist resuming its sway, and business will resume its accustomed courses the present spring with more of lite and vitality than it has felt during the past two years. 3. The House, after a long discussion, and the most thorough examination and scrutiny, has passed a bill looking to an eventual settlement of the transportation problem, which has so vitally allected every interest of the country, but more especially of the West. It has taken this action not inconsiderately, as if impelled to "do something" by a popular and un reasoning clamor, but in a broad, compre hensive, and statesmanlike spirit, which looks judicially upon every interest as entitled to its equal measure of justice. 4. It has done noble work in reducing the appropriations. Those reductions promise to amount to at least $ 15,000,000 to $ 0,000,000. II vpenditures for the armv and navy have been especially reduced, while it is in contemplation to diminish the military forces so that still further reductions can be made in the future. The pub ic expenditures have never un dergone such thorough care and scrutiny. This lact, viewed in connection with that other fact that the country is growing with such unexampled rapidity, whereby new duties are constantly devolved upon the public administration, show a record in favor of governmental economy which has never been surpassed. It is well to consider it fully. it. It has repealed the injudicious Salary act of the last tession, and in obeelience to the popular judgment refused to re store the franking privilege in any shnpe or form. More than this, it has rigidly and jealously guarded its own current ex penses, and lias largely reduced them in many eiirections. Other tacts might be tdd need to show that the present Congress is doing a good work for the country, and making a most e xcellent record for itself", but these are the principal topics which have enlisted its attention thus far. They all show that the wholesale abuse which it has re ceived, and is constantly receiving, from the Satanic element ot the eppositn press is but the inspiration of disap peared ambition in the hearts of very bad men. If the American people ever bad an opportunity to do justice to an ex cellent body of men, it is afforded at the present time in the persons of the domi nant party in Congress. Chicago Inter-O-nan. m m XASBY. From the Toledo Blaile.l Tlie Womtn Qf the Cornm Make n It a Id on Baacom-The Terrible Ie atrnctlou of Property. Co.NFEnRiT X Roads, ) (Wich la In the State uv Kentucky,) v April o, lbTi. ) The cyclone, whose wrath we hoped hed bin spent in futile endeavors, hez finally smote us and we are sutl'erin under the blow. The wimmin uv the Corners riz in their mite on Friday. The sun rose brite and smilin from the eastern horizon the frost wuz all out uv the ground and the day wuz warm and balmy. Deck in IVgram came elown the road barefoot and hilarious. " It's warm enufJ," sed the old innocent, "to go with out shoes ! Thank Heaven, I shel not Lev that expense on me for seven long months." The Corners alluz rejoice when its citi zens kin leave oil shoes in the spring. ISascom turned away and wept, "Why do you weep?" sed Pogram. "Ef I don't Lev to buy sheies yoo will bev jist that much more for likker for me." " Alars!" 6hreekt Bascom, "can't yoo tee that the warm weather wich enables yoo to come without shots also enables the wimmin to walk these streets without shoes? And hezen't l'ollock and Bigler and them cusses bin incitin 'em to rage, and hevn't they bin a bilin in agony "to git at me, but wuz provedenshly prevented by the weather? They'll be here to-day Bhoor, and then " And liascom bowed his head and wept agin. Wat Bascom prognosticated did reedy occur. At ten o'clock precisely a delega shun of wimmin headed by Lucindy Gavitt filed around the comer and ap proached the grocery. We stood on the porch in an agony of fter. " They are comin," said Deckin Pogram, tremblin ez tho he hed ager, " ez terrible ez a army with banisters." ' Can't we fool 'em out uv this?" sed Bascom. " Weod that we cood ! " said Issaker, " but I doubt it. Lucindy is a runnin this thing, and she's akoot. Yon can't play any verm fuge on her." "Subterfuge, yoo fool," sed I. "In sich a time ez this, be correct, watsver yoo are." Slowly they approached. Bascom turned pale, and lecvia the porch took hi3 posishen behind the bar. "Here," sed he, "I will endoor the shock. Here where I hev lived and hed my bein will I die." The enemy come on, until the hed uv the perceshin reeched the porch. Lucindy bore a banner on vrich wuz written, "Liz Bascom hez stockins we hevn't. Death to Bascom!" and pokin it in my face ez fche past me 6he marched with the tread ef a grenadeer into the room and took up her posishen in front uv the bar, where fche looked Bascom sauare in the face. "The regler thing," sed Lucinely, "ez I hev hcerd, is for the wimin to pray. Kin yoo pray, Mrs. Pogram?" "Nary," replied Mrs. P. "Sich a thing was never heerd in our house." " Kin voo pray, Mrs. JlcPelter?" ,4,Nary." ' And ther can't none uv us. The fact is that we wuznt brot op to iL I don't bleeve there's a woman within four miles uv Baf corn's on less it's a new comer who kin. But it don't matter. 1 hey bin leokin at Bascom for five niinits, and I don't bleeve prayer wood hev any effect onto him. Its works we want here works with him, works!" And that infooriatcd woman, pullin her sleeves back, displayin an arm wich a long course uv splittin wood and hoein taters and whalin Issaker hed made ez muskeler ez a blacksmith's, uttered her war-whoop: "Remember, gentle sisters, Liz Bascom hez stockins, and we haint none our husbands sell corn wich we grow, to pay Bascom for likker ! 3Iore stockins and less likker." With this e jackelashen 6he sprang over the low counter and throttled Bascom, bearin him to the floor. "Now, sweet sisters," sed she, "while my trail and fading strength lasts I will hold this man uv Belial safely lie still, yco brex)t be it yoor work to go for them bottles and barrels! Go for em Bas com's wife hez stockins !" A dozen ov cm drawd axe-helves from under their aperns and kep us otf, while the rest went inside the bar and rolled out the barrels-and jugs, and split em open. The precious flooid ran out on the floor and disappeared betwixt the cracks thereof forever. We cood do nothin but look on and weep. Finally, when the last barrel was bustid and the last bottle broken, Lucindy let Bascom up and the pe-rcession, wild with excitement, marched out ov the place and dispersed. It wuz a pitiful she! Them empty barrels wuz muic witnesses uv our woe them broken bottles hed each a tale of distress to tell. There wuz an aroma of likker risin from the tioor and that wuz all. But who cood live on an aroma! "Thank Heaven!" sed I ," we hev that reserve in the stable left. We kin live on that till you git a noo stock in." "No yoo can't," replied Bascom, his voice broken with emotliun. "No yoo can't. That barrel wuz in among the rest, and is gone with the rest." " Why, on why, did you do that?" I akt. " Kin yoo ask me after the nite you at tempted to steal it?" sed he. " I'd sooner trust it with the wimmin than with yoo. Duplicity meets with its own reward. Hed yoo played fair yoo wood hev hed a barrel to go on. Ez it is there ain't a drop in the Corners and none kin be hed froin Looisville for six days." At this Deckin Pogram dropped a stave wich he hed been lickin and fell faintin to the floor. Issaker Gavitt, Elder Pen nibacker and Capt. .McPelter turned away sorrowlully. " Ain't there suthia to revive the crood old man V" 1 shriekt in agony, feel in that Bascom must have a privit bottle some where. " Yes," Bed he, "I relent. I pervided for this catastrophv. I bored a hole in the floor, here, where it is the lowest. Under that hole, in the cellar, 1 put a tub. Go down and bring up a wash-basin full and revive him." Droppin the old man's head, I ran. There wuz three inches in the tub. Fillin two quart bottles which 1 found there and puttin them in my pockets I hastened up with the wash-basiniul and held it to his nose. He drew a long breath and fastened his lips to the edge. He swallered ! he wuz saved ! We are yet without likker. The Corners is ez dry ez a lime-kill. I hid my two bottles where they cant find em, and four times a day I go and take a modrit nip. But they cant last long, even yoosed ez sparinly ez I do. Deekin Pogram is askin me evry day uv my opinyuu uv the here after, and the rest uv em would leave the Corners ef they hed any earthly way uv gittin out. Bascom hez ordered a new in voice, but Hevin knows when it wiil come. Ez I hev but a pint left, may the day be not far distant. Cureeson Pollock and Bigler who did this thing. Pktkolecm V. Nashy, (Wich wuz Postmaster.) rastnrinjr Sheep. Eveky flock master is anxious to get his sheep at pasture as early in the spring as possible. This is a laudable and wise practice, but is sometimes done at the expense of the pasture and not always to the best advantage of the flock. If the pasture is blue grass and of ample ex tent the sheep may be turned en as soon as the grass fairly appears. If the pas ture be of clover the damage to the field will, perhaps, not be severe, but if of timothy and clover, sheep, which gnaw very close on short pastures, often do irre parable damage by eating away thefrfjulb at the surface of the earth, which is aiart of the plant and absolutely necessary, to the existence of this grass; inde a meadow may be mown with a scythe so close as sometimes to kill the crop. , How much greater, then, the necessity o$ feed ing sheep until the grass is sufficiently high, so that no danger may occur fn that direction. ' 31 any farmers believe that every day gained in turning the stock to pasture is so much feed saved; such, however, is not the case, for every extra day the flock is kept in the yards the grass is getting belter and better, and. when the flock is turned on after a week's delay, perhaps,, the pisture is in such a condition thai t the animals are not obliged to gnaw tV'the very roets to get a scanty supply of Vpead grass mixed with a few short spanft-of soft and watery blades. Beside this, if turned to pasture too soon the flock is almost as much in clined to refuse pood hay as when turned on full pasture. The consequence is they stop growing and lose flesh, and the wool becomes prematurely loose, and, in any event, is reduced in quantity and quality. Do not be in too great a hurry, there fore, to turn out in the spring, especially if a few warm elays may have started the gras3. Cold weather will surely inter vene perhaps severe storms of rain, snow and sleet. The grass will keep, and the sheep will be far better off in the barn or in good warm sheds, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you can keep them up to their feed without loss of appetite or deterioration of the wool. Once checked at this season, wool does not so readily recover as earlier in the season; and, as the animal begins to thrive on the grass, and warmer days come on, instead of growing, it loosens and sometimes begins to drop off before shearing time. Western Rural. The. Romance of a Restaurant. A Chicago correspondent of the Troy Times says: "A bit of romance recently came to ray notice which has not before appeared in print. Some time in Decem ber last a girl about seventeen years of age, w ho at that time was serving as table waiter in a large dining restaurant, was arrested for stealing a package of money from the pocket of a gentleman's overcoat which was hanging in the room while he was eating his dinner. At the prelimi nary examination a party swore to having seen her take the coat down and hang it up cpiickly again ; that she soon left the room for a short time ; and, as the money was not to be found, she was held for trial. In vain she protesteel that she merely moved the coat to avoid its getting soiled; in vain with tearful eyes she offered to be searched. The circumstances were sus picious, and the officers inexorable. In the meantime the gentleman who had lost the money became interested in her his tory, found she was an orphan girl, and, though comparatively friendless, bearing an excellent character. Further than this, he ascertained she was of English parentage, that her name was the same as his own, and, to make the story short, from evidence which he could not disbe lieve, that she was the daughter of his own brother, whom he supposed to have died childless in Australia several years ago. Of course he declined prosecuting her, and, as he is wealthy and without near kin, he at once arranged to take her home with him, on his return from the West, w hither he was then en route. The other day he, with his newly-adopted child so strangely brought to him, started for New York, whence they will soon sail for England."

An exchange says there is no better use to make of fine-cut tobacco than to bind it upon a fresh wound, and nothing will stop the flow of blood quicker. Sugared Pop Corn. This delights all children, and is within the reach of every one. One cup sugar (white); half cup water; boil till it taffies, then sprinkle in the pop corn, as much as the pan will hold. If nicely popped, this will sugar two quarts of corn. Stir well so that it does not stick together; the grains ought to separate. Floating Island. One quart of milk sweetened; whites of six eggs; wine to the taste; half pound of pulverized sugar for the island ; a little currant jelly. Beat the eggs and add the sugar by degrees, and as mnch currant jelly as will make it a fine pink. Pour the milk in a glass bowl ; with a tablespoon place the island on it In heaps tastefully arranged. Egos Cooked Htgiesicaixy. Hard boiled eggs have always been considered more difficult of digestion than soft boiled ones. The reason is this: The white of an egg is almost pure albumen. Now albu men coagulates with heat, and is not so readily acted on by the gastric juice; so that much of it passes from the stomach undigested. Persons with vigorous digestion mav manage a hard boiled egg so as to extract moot of the nourishment from it, if it be well masti cated and mixed with other food. The yolk of the eggs, however, is not rendered worse by haref boiling. Eggs boiled just four minutes have the white part in a part ly flacculent condition, more easily di gested, and not so soft as to' be offensive to any one. An egg may be cooked in water at a temperature of about 165 de grees Fahrenheit for fifteen minutes and leave the yolk well cooked, but the white will not be rendered tough and hard to digest. Though more trouhlesome, it is a good way to cook an egg to render it easy of digestion as well as palatable. Per sons whose palates will not tolerate a soft boiled egg should have them poached and dropped on toast. Hall's Journal of Health. An Unrivaled Plum Pudding. Stone and cut, but do not chop, one and a half pounds .Muscatel raisins, and cleanse without cutting one pound of Sultana raisins; wash and dry two pounds of Zante currants; cut into small, thin slices six ounces of mixed candied peel: erate the rinds of two lemons and one ounce of nutmeg; add one ounce of ground cinna mon, one-half ounce of poundeel bitter almonds, two pounds of finely-chopped beef suet and two pounds of bread crumbs. Mix these ingredients well together. Beat the yolks of sixteen etrgs and two pounds of sugar to a froth ; beat separately the whites of the eggs till they will cut smoothly. "When this is done stir one fourth pint of brandy into the dry ingre dients; add quickly the beaten yolks and whites, a little at a time, alternately; bew, the whole rapidly together till well mixed.

Charles Lanman writes to the New World writes upon bedding out verbenas as follows, which the Western Rural in dorses, except as to the distance apart at which they are planted. The latter pa per says: "We should plant a bed of this size say about fourteen inches apart the long way of the bed, in two rows; the rows nine inches from the edge the other way; the second row breaking in between the first. In this way the bed is covered much sooner, and more perfectly, ami the difference in the number of plants is but a small item." The correspondent says: "Turn over a new bed in the grass, or, if your lawn is a geometrically arranged seven by nine plat, where the prass is a3 rigorously excluded as Canada thistles, get a wagon load of earth from some place where grass grows upon It. Make your verbena bed of this. It need not be rich in barnyard ingredients; quite the reverse. As a rule early-bought plants from the green-house do not succeed as well as those kept through the winter on the window sill at home. If you get your plants of the nurseryman keep them by you some time before setting them out. In early spring the temptation i3 great to adorn a little bed with a couple of dozen verbena plants, fresh from the nursery, all in blossom. They look lovely the day you put them out; but ere long there comes a cold wet rain' that drizzles color all out of the flowers and turns the leaves a sort of russet color which disfig ures the bed until July. It does not pay to crowd the season with a profusion of hothouse bloom. " Set the plants into a box of earth and keep them growing in the house till the frosts are safely passed. Tney are grow ing and maturing all the while; nothing is lost, ever thing gained, by the patient waiting. Six plants are enough for a bed six feet by three ; they will cover it by August." Mingling the Milk of Different Cows. At a recent meeting of the dairymen one of the members gave some interesting details in regard to experiments in ming ling the milk and cram of cows of differ ent breeds. He found that the mixed milk from two breeds will not produce a3 much butter as the same milk churned separately. The explanation is in the variation in the sizes of the globules. When a large globuled milk and a small globuled milk are churned together the larger globules separate first into butter, and the breaking of the smaller globules appears to be retarded. When, therefore, a Jersey cow is kept in an Ayrshire or Dutch herd for the purpose of influencing the color of the butter, the large globules of the Jersey milk are broken first in the churn, and, while the smaller globules are being broken, the butter which came first is being over-churned, and theoretically, at least the quality of the result is im paired, if not the quantity lessened. When a few Ayrshire or Dutch cows are kept in a herd of Jerseys and the milk churned together, both theoretically and prac tically, a large portion of the butter of the small globuled milk is left in the butter milk in a state of globules. A like appli cation may be made to herds of native or grade cows. Unless there is uniformity within certain limits in the milk globule there is a loss of product. When uniformity is so seldom found in the external shapes of a grade or native herd, it is not probable that any greater uniformity exists between their functional productions. X. Y. Herald.

Tho question i3 almost daily asked. What is tho causo of the nnparalleled bucccrs of Vixeuah Ilrr rEiisf" Our answer is, that they removo tho cause of disease, and tho patient re covers his health. They aro tho prea4 blood purifier and a lifo-givinu principle, a perfect Kcuovator and Iuvigoratot of tho system. Never before in tho history of tho world Liw ft medicine luva compounded possessing tho rcinurktiHa qnalitiea of Vixkoak 15 i iters in healiiip tho sick tf every disease uian U heir to. They are a pentlo Furjrnlivo as well as ft Tonio, relieving Cortfrvstion or Inflamuiution i,( the Liver aud Visceral Organs, in ililiouw Diseases. Tho properties of Dr. Wamcek's Vinkqar IJittkbs aro A porifii t, 1 in i ihoretic. Carminative, Nutritious, LaxHtive, Dinretio. Sedative, Counter-irritant, budoritic, Alteri Uve. and Anft-Hiiious. Grateful Thousands proclaim vn;. egak Bitteks tho most wonderful In vigorant that ever sustained th unking eystem. No Person can talio these Hitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their boue3 aro not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Eilious. Remittent and Inter mittent Fevers, which aro so preva lent in the valleys of our preat rivers throughout tho United States, especially those of tho Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Ked, Colorado, Urazos, Kio Grando, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, llo anoko, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during tho Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, aro invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of tho stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful inJuence upon theso various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for tho purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vineoau IJittei:s, as they will speedily remove tho dark colored viscid rnattcr with which tho bowels aro loaded, at tho Ramo timo stimulating tho secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of tho digestive organs. Fortify tho body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinecau Bitters. No epidemic can tuko hold of a system thu3 fore-armed.
