"1imcs arc altered" as Goldsmith says The
ancient simplicity which characterized our fore
fathers and mothers has grown 500 old fashion
cd" and antquatcd, for the financial taste of
modern beings; and the principles, manners and
dress which it suggested, have been cast aside
with anger and disgust, and 'things new" have
been adopted in their stead. In days of yore,
men formed their principles according to the
rules Of truth and virtue; now expediency, honor
and custom guide their wills, determine their ac-
tons and sway their hearts. free, open, and
unsophlsticated behaviour marked ancient men;
now such manners would "shocl the delicacy''
Of modern eXquisites, and forever brand him,
who exercised them, with the blackest anathe-
mas ofthe Chesterieldian code. Homespun at
tire, once spoke unboundcd praise to the wear
er; but now, the eyes of men would be offended
by such rustic abomination. When mon used
to Speak or do, their words and actions were :,
true transcript OF their minds, but now, every
thing is marked by degeneration, Actions are
falsehoo4s, and words speak lie. An ancient
Dictionary, would no more serve to explain
modern terms, than a man ofths age would serve
to correctly represent the goodness of past
times. If any person were to undertake, and
succeed in compiling Vocabulary of the present
English language, offering the true meaning to
every word, he would perform the feat of liter
aiy giant, and his book would supersede the
use of Johnsoi' IS labours. l will here subjoin a
few current words with their true meaning at
tached TO them, hoping that they may serve to
unravel some otherwise inexplicable things, and
hope that all the lovers of truth and improve
ment will in due time furnish their share for the
aid ofthe rising generation.

THE COMET.

Astronomers all,
Attend to the call,
Your science and skill to extend;
With glasses to view,
And Chronometers true
Adjust them with care commend.
Along with you bring
Some Congruent thing,
With head as clear as Newton;
A Raddi and Sign,
With a Tangent combine,
Thus skill'd in the science ofmotion.
In readiness be-
Says one, two, or three
At four o'clock in the morning; .
Through air, clear and bright,
You'll see without light,
Shouldno clouds in the Eastward be form
ing,
A COMET, with Tail
AS long as whale,
His muclus surrounded with light;
A stranger indeed,
Of eccentrical breed
Who's visible only by night.
To this stranger is due,
Such attention from you
AS knowledge from whence and from
where;
The distance he's run,
And if bound to the sun,
Pray tell US how soon he'll be there.
And on his return,
would have you to learn
The distance he means for to go;
That so you may find,
Fvou're SO incnn'd,
The round of his orbit you know.
And then you can tell,
think very well,
When he means of returning to view;
All this TO explain,
With the length ofhis train,
Is surely expected from you.
Close by you will find,
In a space so conhn'd,
trio o Planets so rare:
You'll scarce ever see,
AS many as three,
With Comet full view in the air.
Venus I'll name,
Of Mars say the same,
With Jupiter all in line;
Near together you'll see
Thodstsnt they be,
As Astronomers all can divine.
A sight then so rare,
Set with briliants in air.
You never have seen such before;
Up then my boys,
And taste of the Joys
Astronomers want nothing more. j.

#The aggregate number of sAicides in

1921, Westminster contained 1871 900 inhab

CIRCULATION OF INTELLIGENCE.
Stepping into the City Post Office on
Tuesday evening, and. observing how
large a number of free letters were put
up for one mail, which the Clerks were
in the act of despatching, we had the
curiosity to inquire how many such let
tiers had been despatched from that of.
flee during The last week. The Chief
Clerk took the trouble to add up the
numbers which had been mailed at that
Office during the week ending on Tues
day the 18th inst and the aggregate
really surprized even US, who had some
opportunity of knowing the extent Of
the correspondence between this city
and the various points of the interior,
especially during the Session. The
whole number thus despatched during
the week was thirty three thousand eight
hundred and t,peive. In the packing
and wrapping up the mails, about one
hundred and twenty quires OF large
cartridge paper have been consumed.
In addition TO this labor, immense
mails from the North, the South, and
the West, are received, assorted, and
distributed, daily, at this Office, besides
several others ofless importance during
the week. Vat. fnfelhgencer.

Congress Proceedings Of yesterday.
The sESArE was not in session yesterday,
having adjourned on Tliusday till the Monday
following.
liz TIE House. OF REPRESENTATIVES, very
few petitions were presented, and OF these
two were from the District of Co.umbia' one
PRAYING additional appropriations by Congress
for the completion Of the City Hall OF wash
ington, and the other from the trustees of the
ColumbiaC College, asking fors2o, 600 to enable
them to complete the necessary buildings OF
that institution, which are now underway. The
further appropriation to the City Hall is urg-
ed, on the ground that fair allowance for that
part of the building used by the United States
for their Courts and Clerks Offices, has not
yet been made.
MIR. Buchanan called up his resolution, di-
rect;nr the Secretary Of the Navy to lay be-
fore the House the proceedings Of the late
Court of Enquiry and Court Martial, in rela-
zion to the case of Commodore Porter, which
resolution, aftera speech of some length by
the mover, showing the propriety of the de-
mand, and refuting objections formerly urged,
was adopted by the House.
On motion of Mr.. Francis Battles, the House
proceeded to consider, and finally adopted,
his resolutions requesting the Secretary OF
the Navy to inform the House, whether the
sloop of war Boston, about to be commission
ed. or some other Of the sloops of war now in
commission, might not be employed in explor
ing the North West coast OF America, its Ri
vers and Inlets between the parallels Of lati-
tude 400 and 4ee North, without detriment to
the Naval service of the United States; and
whether the expense incurred in such service
would exceed the ordinary expenses of such
vessels while cruizing. And also, whether it
would be practicable to. transport more can :
non, and more of the munitions Of war in such
vessel than would be necessary for the use OF
the vessel.
Mr.. Sawyer offered an amendment propos-
ing to extend the exploration to the polar seas,
rand made an argument to show that the United
States were bound to contribute their share Of
labor and expense to these enterprises of dis
eovery; but the amendment after some little
discussion, was lost. The same gentleman

was a subject on which great diversity
Of opinion had existed, as was mani
tested both at the last session, and at
present, by the number Of propositions
that had been offered. 1t was from
this consideration that he thought q
larger number should compose the
committee to whom the subject was
now to be referred, than was usual, and
therefore he should move that nine be
appointed.
That number was agreed to.

Bya recurrence to our report OF yester-
DAYS proceedings in Congress, it may be seen
tina, several topics were referred 70 the examl-
nation of the District Committee. The peti-
ton of the citizens of Washington for further
appropriation towards the accommodation OF
the Circuit Court, is worthy of attention.
Similar accommodations are wanted on this
side of the water-and, with similar union and
perseverance, may be easily obtained Con-
gress will deny us nothing that is proper, if we
satisfy them that the people know and concur
in what is asked for Our affairs have, here
tofore, been conducted with too much secre-
cy>& selfsbness Congress have been told one
day, that the people called for measure which
has been found, on the next, to be in oppo-
sition TO their wishes This state Of things
must cease before we can be heard to advan-
tage; and instead of measures being got up,
and pressed upon the attention of Congress,
by unauthorized conclavcs, they must be sub
mitted to the community, publicly discussed,
and unequivocally sanctioned before they be
presented for the consideration Of Congress.
A course like this VIII insure us success in ev-
cry reasonable demand We speak upon
good information.
Another subject. though moi material one,
IS proposition to change the form of admi-
nistering oaths in the Courts of the District,
so as to produce uniformity in manner.
And on Thursday an enquiry was instituted
into the propriety of prohibiting the drawing
Of any Lottery inthe District of Columbia, not
AUTHORISED by a law of Congress. We shall
continue to call the attention of our fellow clti,
zens, to every subject, affecting their imme-
date interests, (however remotely that may
find its way to our constitutional Legislature
and shall give the earliest information OF the
proceedings thereon.
