FRIENDSHIP.

Friendship Is but anearthiy name
For joys that bioomin Heaven;
BY wild ambition, thirst for fame,
TO friendlier chimes tits driven.
In sweet postcrify Ills born,
When joyful hopes are given;
ltgrows in fortunes vernal morn,
But dies in frosts Of even.
Friendship ainne In virtues soil
Will flourish and mature
In this poor 6cld of worldly toll,
1t never will endure.
Then why inquire for friendship here,
Since earthly joys are AeetiDg:
Our hopes are: vain, our prospects drear,
Our wishes never meeting.

From the Washington Gazette.


Extract Qfa letter from a gentleman in
Ohio, to his friend in this city, dated
Dee. II, 1921. ~
"The employment Of Mr.. Thomas, Of
the Senate Of the United States, to ex-
anime the land Offices, in this, as well as
the other western states, has excited such
general disapprobation, that Imagine
il has been unfortuna,eb both for Mr.. Tho
mas and the Secretary. Some think the
acceptance of the appointment vacates
his seat in the Senate; while others, who
do not go so far, think it precedent cal.
culated to destroy the Independence and
integrity of the Senate in manner so re-
prehensible, that they both cannot fail to
be seriously Injured. 1t does not follow,
however, that because we entertain these
squeamish notions Of politica purity, that
the great folks at Washington will do so !;
and although much is said here on the
subject, you may not hear Of it at the

SIR--In reply to your letter of the
2 LIST inst. which was received yesterday,
have the honor to state, that fifty thou
sand dollars have been RENTED to the
Surveyor Of the public lands for the pur-
pose of paying for surveys made in
lhc states Of Illinois and Missouri, but
that owing to a misconception Of the in
structions given to that officer, he states
tina: the demands for that. service are
not less than 100000, which was nearly
equal to the amount appropriated annu-
ally for that object. A further sum will
be RENTED shortly, and the balance after
the appropriations for the year 1922 shall
be made.
Some delay occurred in making the
remittance, owing to the successive
failures Of the Banks of Missouri and
kdwardsvilIe, but funds are now pro-
vided, and drafts will be forwarded as
soon as the appropriations shall be
made. @ q

time past, on the vote given by Judge
Thomas in the senate of the United
States, on the tariff bill. II is true, but
one vote made the majority against the
bill, but to say that Mr.. Thomas vote was
the casting vote more particularly than
all others on the same side, is certainly
unfair. ! have no doubt but large ma
iorty of Mr.. Thomas constituents view
