The famous retrenchment resolutions
are computed to have cost this nation
$4,000; and the only practical result from
them, thus far, is the passage of io;nt
resolution, requiring the printing for Con
gress to be done in a more compact form
that is, without quite so much disDlav Of
title pages, printing the yeas and navs ID
lines, instead of columns, &c. Bv The
grand reform, saving will be made in
the contingent expenses of Congress of
perhaps 500 a year, though it NAV not
exceed $40. Kentucky, we believe does
not claim the honour of this great reyoln

dormant. The animal was remarkable
among other things, for the length and
fulness OF his tail. The parties, however
made no bargain. This spring, the horse
was again brought down, but shorn of his
flowing honours. The gentleman to whom
ne was offered exclaimed at the barbarism
OF such an improvement. The owner dc.
clared himself innocent. 1t happened, ,
said ne, in this way. He had an irritation
IN his tail, and directed it to be steened
In brine every evening. He happened to
switch 1t into the mouth of COW that
stood In the next stall and she was so
pleased with the taste, that, before MORN
ing, she devoured it to the stump. T
thought she had eaten tough salad for
the sake of the sauce, but the matter
could not be mended.'"

raj friends have been extremely polite in
sending US some of the splendid products
of their gardens. Yesterday, a lady of
New-Jersey conferred the special honour

fourteen beautiful buds growing upon a
single stem, the crimson petals Just begin

opes. This morning Mr.. Parmentier
brought us, from his rural and tasteful re-
treat on. Long Island, a most brilliant bou-
quet, composed of great variety of roses
and other flowers of gorgeous hues and
delicious fragrance. Blessed be the hands
that thus occasionally strew with flowers

with thorns ~ Y. Statesman.
TIE SUBLIME. An eminent auctioneer,
not far from Great Whelnethan, in selling
a windmill by auction the other day, by
way Recommendation Observed" The
mill is seated upon the summit Of beau
tiful eminence, lowered beyond obstruc-

her revolving powers, at Unreasonable
rate, wheel the wealth into the Golfers of
the possessor."
