The Congressional Globe is made ~
Of the daily proceedings Of the two Houses
, Of Congress. The speeches Of the mem

readable. length. All The resolutions, of

The Appendix is made up of the Presi-

principal officers of the government that
accompany it, and ali the long Speeches
Of members of Congress, written out or

Debates, which contained history, was
suspended in the year 1887, and has not
since been resumed. Ii cost about five
times as much for session as the Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix, and did
not contain ON equal amount of matter, Il
great portion of the current proceedings
being omitted.
Complete indexes TO both the Congress
sional Globe and the Appendix are print
cd at the close of each session, and sent
to all subscribers for them.

and correction Of the speakers.
The approach of a Congress which will
discuss for the American people all the
most important questions ever entertained
by the national councils, and new and ex-
traordinary measures never before fully
ventured upon, has induced the publishers
of the Globe 10 make greater and better
preparation than heretofore for reporting

lngS Of the next session.
All persons who may desire either, or
both of these works, should subscribe for
them by the 10Th Of December, else they
may fail to get them. People are still
subscribing for the Congressional Globe
for the last session Of Congress, and we
have not been able TO furnish complete
copy Of it since early in the session.
We will send the Globe for the ap.
preaching session to any person who will
return 10 us all the numbers Of il for the
last session. We usually print double as
many copies as we have subscribers at the
commencement of session, and then,
perhaps, in few weeks they will all be
exhausted. We say again, that those
who want the Congressional Globe, or the
Appendix, must subscribe. and send The
money for them by the 10Th of December,
else they will not probably get them.
Persons subscribing for the Congress
sional Globe, or the Appendix, should be
careful TO name the State, as well as the
post office to which they wish the paper

same name in different States-Paris, for
example. We received money from Par

Office requires the post masters to endorse
The name Of the State on every letter, but
many Of them neglect 10 do il.
Every man in the country who desires
10 be informed of the public history or The

debates Of Congress. Our foreign affairs

Congress. The discussions embrace men
and things, present and past history; and

are directed to their calculation. II is

arena without an intimate knowledge Of
