CONGRESS,

One OF the most interesting and i'm
por,anl topics, which has, at the very
commencement of the session, arrested
the attention OF Congress, relates to the
situation OF the purchasers of the public
lands. In addition 10 the proceedings
OH that subject recorded under our Con-
gresslonai head, a string OF resolutions
has been submitted to the Senate by Mr.
Walker, OF Alaoina, proposing lst to
divide the SUMS remaining unpaid, ex.
elusive OF interest, into several annual
lnstalmenls, to bear interest only from
the time hey may respectively be made
payable: ID to permit such purchasers
a. may chuusc, to surrender their lands,
which shall be sold at auction for moi
less than 5 25 cents per acre, with a
proviso that II they bring more, SO much
OF the overplus shall be paid to the
purchaser as may not exceed the amount
already advanced by him: Sd to permit
such purchasers as may prefer it, to OBJ
tam titles Tor their land, by paying, with
IN definite period, SO much as shall
amount, together with the sums pre-
yiousiy pad, to 6ve-eighths ofthe origi-
nal price OF the land (: and 4th to per-
NIT purchasers who may choose to sur
render part OF their land, to apply the
money paid for the part SO surrendered
to further payment for the part retain.
ed.
The first mode of retrenchment pro.
posed, VIZ. the attempt to reduce the
compensation of members of Congress
to the old standard of six dollars day
will hardly prove successful. A reso-
luton to that effect has been offered by
Mr.. Eddy of Rhode Island, which the
House by vote OF 6 to So, refused to
consider.-The same subject was how
ever, revived by Mr.. Linn of New-Jer.
sey, who proposed directing the com.
mittee of Ways and Means to inquire in.
to the expediency of so reducing the
compensation of members and " also oil
reducing the pay of all the officers Of
government, that has been increased
since the year 1909, to what it was at OF
before that period" This proposition,
after some discussion, was ordered to lie
on the table.
In order further to bring into view the
expediency of system Of chment
the military committee has been instruct
ed to inquire into the propriety OF re.
ducing the military peace establishment
No other important business has ye
been brought before Congress, except
ing proposition for SO amending The
Constitution as TO require Representa-
tlves In Congress and Electors of Presi-
dent 10 be chosen by districts in all The
states.

Genoa: Lady Glenbervie volunteered to
act as Lady of Bedchamber until the ar
rival of Lady Charlotte Campbell; the
best company of Genoa at the Queens
house, where Lord Glenbervie frequent
ly dined with his Lady. Bergami treated
as a servant, without any undue familia-
rity he behaved towards his Mistress
with becoming respect.
5. Lady Charlotte Linsay quilted the
Queen at Brunswick, according to an
agreement made before they left Eng
land, in 1914. In March, 1915, saw and
attended her at Naples, where all the
English of distinction, and many Neapo-
litans, and other foreigners of rank,
visited her majesty, and frequented her
table-accompanied the Queen to Rome,
Cevita Vecchia, and Leghorn-left her
majesty there, to have the advantage of
her brothers. the present Earl of Gull
iord's escort to England--never saw any
unbecoming familiarity with Bergami---
resigned the Queens service in 1917, in
consequence ofthe advice of her brother.
The affair Of the Mariettis, of Milan,
was brought forward again; and Lord
Liverpool allowed that the matter OF
Col. Browne now required further in
vestigation.

CONSTITUTION OF MISSOURI,
SNEW-YORK LEGISLATURE 9.

Mr. c. Spencer offered the following
5ecitals and resolutions -
Whereas, in the constitution, recently
adopted by convention of delegates OF
the people of Missouri territory, and
which is about to be presented to the
congress of the United States for their
sanction, slavery is not only expressly
recognized, but provisions are inserted
by which the emancipation of slaves is
rendered extremely difficult, if not i'm
possible, and it is made the duty of the
legislature of Missouri, to pass such
laws as may be necessary to prevent
tree negroes and mulattoes from coming
to and settling in the state under any pre-
text whatsoever. .And whereas the
members of this legislature deem it their
duty, as it is their right, to express their
sentiments upon the foregoing provisions
IN the said constitution. Therefore,
6esotved, llflhe honorable the Senate

This world is all feeting show,
For mans delusion given;
The smiles of joy, the tear of wo,
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow
There's nothing true bat Heaven.
And false the light Of glory's plume
As fading hues of even;
And love and hope, and beauty's bloom
Are blossoms gather'd from the tomb!
There's nothing bright but Heaven.
Poor wanderers of a stormy day,
From wave TO wave we're driven:
And fancy's fash, and reasons ray,
Serve but to light the troubled way
There's nothing true but Heaven.

There's something here of Heaven.
And he that walks life's thorny way

SPIRUqApORo
EDwARDsvILLE, DECEMBER 10, 1920.

The Influenza, which for several
months past has pervaded the eastern
states, after travelling westward gradual
iy, has made its appearance here. 1t has
so disabled our hands that it has not been
possible for us to issue more than half
sheet with this number. The deficiency
shall be made good by supplements
at future time.
The following advice respecting the
treatment of this disease is from the Sa-
5em MS. Gazette.
10 the Editor
AS there is a pretty violent cold,
cough, or influenza, prevailing in the
neighborhood, give me leave to offer a
remedy.
Drink copiously through the day, and
particularly at rising and going to bed,
OF the hurest cold mater thai can be got.
The weather is SO cool now, that there
is no danger in drinking cold water; and
If it has been boiled and suffered to grow
cold, it may be advantageous.
1t is possible there arc few constitu
tons that this may not suit; but in al
most every case where the constitution il
tolerably good, it will be found an effica
cious remedy.
The thorough washing (and wiping) o
the face, neck, hands, and wrists, also
assists the cure.

Manner Of preserving eggs perfectly

Manner Of Preserving eggs perfectly
fresh for 10 months.
Having provided small casks like
oyster barrels, fill them with fresh laid
eggs, then pour into each cask, the head
of which is supposed to have been first
taken out, as much cold thick lime water
as will fill up all the void space between
the eggs, and likewise completely cover
them, the thicker the lime water is the
better, provided it will fill up all the in
terstices and be liquid at the top of the
cask, this done, lay on the head of the
cask lightly No farther care is neces-
sary, than merely to prevent the lime
from growing too hard, by adding occa-
sionally little common water on the
surface, should it seem so disposed, and
keeping the casks from heat and frost.
The eggs when taken out for use are
to be washed from the adhcring lime in
little cold water, when they will have
both the appearance and qualities of
fresh laid eggs, the lime preserving them
from shrinking or putridity.
.dnother mrthod.
The most simple and easy mode of
preserving eggs, is to rub the outside of
