Abstract from the report of proceedings
in Congress on Thursday, December Fl,
1897.
"HoUsE OF REPRESENTATIVES,"
''Mr Patton of Virginia asked the con.
sent of the House to offer Resolution
"Mr Adams objected.''
"Mr Patton moved suspension of the
rules to enable him to offer resolution"
and they were suspended accordingly.
Mr. Patton then offered the following
resolutions
'Resoloed, that all petitions, memorials.
and papers touching the abolition of slave.
ry, or the buying selling, or transferring Of
slaves in any State, District or Territory
of the United States, be laid upon the ta-
BILE without being debated, printed, read or
referred, and that no further action what.
ever shall be had thereon
The question being ordered on the adop-
ton ofthe resolution 1T was decided in the
affirmative. The vote in Maine stood as
follows-in favor of the resolution, ARDER-
SON, Carter, Cilley, FAIRFIELD-oppo-
sed to it, Davee, Evans Noyes, Smith,

GRATUIToUs ADVERTISEMENT. Every
body knows; or ought to know, that the
publishing business is one Of large ex-
pense-employng great number of per-
sons, land extensive capital, that every para
graph set costs certain sum of money in
the composition, or setting up the type, and
occupies a certain space which ought to
yield proportion of income to the pro-
prietors. Every BODY must know, too that
the main source of this income is the por-
ton of the sheet devoted to advertisements,
and that to ask the gratuitous insertion, of
an advertisement, or of a communication,
or an editorial notice, serve in the place of
one, is literally asking the publisher to in
cur an expense Of dollar or more without
making him farthing in return. 1t is to
all lntents and purposes asking him to take
sum of money from his pocket and present
it to the applicant. Yet this thing is done
every day and many times every day; and
that too by men who have no earthly claim
on the charity Of the publishers, and who

should cause reflection.
Eight years ago we had United States
Bank Of S35, COZ, COO pital-twenty mil
lions of specie in the country, and curren-
cy equal to any in the world
The United States bank has been vetoed,
the deposites removed into pet banks,
and now with eighty millions of specie We
have no currency in the country at all, or
one of the very worst in the world.
Eight years ago, a man could travel
through the United States and Canada,
with bills of the Uni led States Bank, and
without having to pay one cent discount.
Now the pet and other bank bills are
from ten to twenty per cent discount, even
to the State to which they belong.
Eight years ago, business, commerce
and trade all went on smoothly and pros
perously. Now business and trade are
destroyed, bankruptcy distress and power
ty are staring the people in the face.
Eight years ago. with twenty millions Of
specie in the country, they were at par,
and all the banks paid for their notes in
specie.
Eight years ago the expenses of our
government were thirteen millions of dol

"MALIGNANT BAsENEss.--The Eastern
Argus, short time since, published a
most august, false and magHgnant article
relative to the Aroostook Lands, and the
adjoining township of No. 4,-represent-
ing them as mere 'Jog," and not worth
settling on-that the exertions of Gov
Kent, the Land Agent, and the Wing Ad-
minstration, to get the public attention
drawn to those lands--and the liberal
measures taken in faior of poor young men
who might want to settle there, were all a
mere "humbug," for political effect. That
the lands in reality were not worth settling
on
Seeing this false ard malignant state
ment in which the Land A gent was virtual
]y accused of deceit and falsehood, some 8
orl0 respectable men who are well acquain-
ted with township No 4,,ome of whom have
explored it, and numbered on it, have come
out in the Bangor Wing under their own
signatures, and declared the statements in
the Argus to be unqualified falsehoOds-and
state that the lands areevery thing which
they have been represented. The same
testimony could be had from gentlemen in
this town, who have been on the ground.
The Argus seems willing to retard the
settlement of these hnds-to sacrifice the
best interests of the State-to join in with
the British, and encourage them to perse-
we're in their uniounied professions, and
even incur the displeasure of Heaven, if
thereby it could induce one man to withhold
his vote from Gov Kent, towards whom
that editor seems to hold most malignant
hatred. Such reckless and audacious con-
duct in that print must increase the friends
of our most worthy chief magistrate, and
accelerate the overthrow of its own party.

burse the money-without adverting to the
fact that the object of the advertisement or
communication, is to promote their interest,
and not that of the publisher. There are
scores of persons would never dream of

the gift of waistcoat, or into hatter's

calling upon publisher for the gratuitous

FOURTH OF JULY.-Our exchange pa.

US glowing accounts Of the celebration Of
this glorious anniversary. The people of
Fort Madison, Town, had their full share Of
rejoicing, and among the orators Of the day
we observe the name of the far-famed In

among the toasts of the day was offered by

May his declining years be as calm and
serene as his previous life has been boiste-
rous and full of warlike incidents. His
attachment and present friendship to his
white brethren fully entitle him to seat

After the above was drunk, Black Hawk
arose and made the following remarks.

In village of Piccardy, after long
sickness, farmers wife fell into lethar-

to believe her out ofpain, and so, accor-
ding to the-custom of that country, she was
wrapped in sheet, and carried on. to be
buried. But as i'll luck would have it, the
bearers carried her so near a hedge, that
the thorns pierced the sheet, and walked
the woman from her trance. Some years
after she died in reality; and as the funeral
passed along, the husband would every

A KICK AND HINT. Talking, Of
barking, two gentlemen the other day, at a
public table, got into violent dispute up
on subject on which it was quite evident
that both were profoundly ignorant. A big
bull dog, which had been quietly sleeping
on the hearth, became aroused by their
violence, and began to bark furiously. An
old gentleman who had been quietly slipping
his wine while the disputants were talking;
gave the dog kick and exclaimed, "Hold
your tongue, you brute. You know 40
more about it than they do. The laugh
Of the whole table was turned mmediately
upon the noisy brawlers.

when the family quarrels Of the South

be reared to southern interests, upon
which all should sacrifice with a deter
mination to support measures-not

should conform strictly to the letter of

from the mad designs ofthe north; but
as long as we are divided, SO long as
we waste our strength battling against

Though solution is one Of the simplest
processes of nature, the limited faculties
of man will not permit him to comprehend
the mode in which it operates. There is
not one phenomenon of nature that the
mind of man can fully comprehend; and
after pursuing the inquiry as far as his
mental capacity will admit, he is still
obliged to confess that there is an operat-
ing power beyond the reach of his COM
prehension. 1t is of Importance in our
searches, that we should bear in mind the
utter incapacity of man to penetrate the
hidden mysteries of nature, lest we be
induced to mistake the low level OF hui
man knowledge for the summit OF Omnl-
science, and should run into the common
error Of concluding that whatever is in
to our limited faculties,
must be impossble.--BakeweH.
