WASHINGTON /

WASHINGTON Dec III +, 1919.
The proceedings in Congress, day, do not
possess much interest, although considerable
amount Of public business was disposed Of
In the Senate, memorial from the city of New
York presented by Mr.. Dix, asking for the
establishment of branch Of the mint in the great
capital of the empire Stale. This is measure
which was very judicously recommended by the
Secretary of the Treasury in his report, and would
be greatly conductice to the prosperity Of the com
mercial metropolis Of the Union. A very large
amount of foreign gold and silver coin is i'm
ported into New York and, in consequence Of
the want of branch of mint in that city, much
of il lies in the bank vaults, instead Of being put
into circulation. The Senate, at an early hour,
adjourned till Monday. after the resolutions adop-
ted in the House of Representatives on the an.
nouncement Of the death of the late Hon. Mr..
Dawson had been adopted.
The entire session of the House, this day, was
occupied in the presentation and reference of pc
titions from the States and Territories. Many of
them were circumstances against the admission
of Texas into the Union but the very small nu-
mercal importance of the signatures attached to
them, afforded one of the most striking evil
dences which could, perhaps, have been fur
nshed. of that overwhelming popular enthu-
siasm which the signal instance of democratic
progress and democratic triumph presented in the
annexation of Texas has excited. Union.

GARDEN Us. FIELD BEANS.

We can well remember when the field bean
was universally used as crop for harvesting
dry, the garden bean being considered unsuita-
bic for the purpose. The practice of late years
has made serious inroads on this opinion; and
where this has been long tried it is common
observation, even with the uneducated consul
mers, that garden beans require much less pork
TO give equal body and favor to them than is
necessary with the field bean.
Science comes in to verify and explain this
opinion; as it has been found, on analysis, that
tho kidney contains 23.6 per cent. of legumin,
Ialbumen, &c, while the field bean contains but
III per cent, a difference in favor Of the for
mer of more than 100 per cent, which, howcv-
er, is lessencd by greater proportions OF some oi
the nutritious principles otthc latter. Theleg
umn, albumen, &c, is nearly analogous 10 the
nutritious principles contained in meat, and
hence the correct estimate placed upon the su'
1peior value of the kidney bean for edible pur
poses 1t may be added, that on strong soik
the kidney bean is equally wholesome, and !
much more prolific bearer than the field bean
which is all that is necessary TO be known 10 EN-
sure for it substitution iD all cases for the lat
Tier, by all such as read agricultural papers, o
take the least interest in the study OF the VIII!
and wherefore Of the farmers profession.

The CATHOLIC CuURcn.---Our readers gen.
orally are probably not aware of the rapid in
crease Of the Roman Catholic Church in the u.
States. We have been surprised in reading some
details connected with the subject in Philadel-
phia paper. Fifty years ago there were in this
country but one bishop and twenty-five priests
ches; there are now 2l bishops and nearly 1000
priests, with 100 churches and about SEQ mis-
sionnry stations. They have 4S academies, 81
ecclesiastical semnaries, 36 houses for religious
women, and % orphan asylums. Their increase
is at the ratio of nearly 100 per cent every lC
years, being Of course, largely aided by emigra
tion. The increase of the general population is
81 per cent.N. 0. Picdyuae.

A GOOn CROP OF CORN.

Mr.. Bateham:-B somewhat engaged in
corn growing, thought that a statement of q
piece Of corn that raised last year, would not
be unintcrcstng. The piece consisted Of eight
acres of sward ground. A stock of 30 or 40
head of cattle were fed on il during the winter,
until the 18th OF April. The rubbish and corn
stalks were removed, and the ground ploughed
deep, and we'll done, rolled with heavy roller
then narrowed ono day to two days, it was then
planted in rows feet apart each way, and 4
plants in hll--it was kept clean during the
season, which did not require much labor. II
produced ninety bushels per acre, although
last season was poor season for corn. Tho
whole cost of raising and harvesting said corr
did not exceed $50.

The following is extracted from Blackstone's
Commentaries:
"Profanation Of the Lords day is an offence
against God and religion, punishable by the mu-
nicipal law. For besides the notorious indecen-
cy and scandal of permitting secular business TO
be transacted on that day in country profess
ing Christianity, and the corruption Of morals
that usually follows its proclamation, the keeping
one day in seven holy as a time of relaxation
and rcfreshment, as we'll as for public worship,
is Of admirable service in civil institution. 1t
humanizes the manners of the lower classes,
which would otherwise degenerate into sordid
ferocity and savage selfshness of spirit: it ena-
bles the industrious to pursue his occupation in
the ensuing week with health and cheerfulness;
itimprnts on the minds of the people that sense
of their duty to God, SO necessary to make good
citizens; but which would be worn out and de
faced by an unremitted continuance of labor
without any stated times for recalling them tc

STATE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION.

1t is proposed, in various quarters, to hold
State Agricultural Convention in the city ofCo-
,umbus sometime early in juno. We have no
doubt but that every Farmer, and every true
friend of the agricultural interests, will heartily
and cordially approve Of such movement.
The Political World is now at a calm, the wal

No subject that can glge the attention of the

from which great benefit has been derived.

MArRIMoNY.--Naturea and Natures God smile
upon the union that is swectened by love and
sanctified by law. The sphere of our affection
is enlarged, and our pleasure takes wider range:
We become more important, and respected
among men, and existence itselfis doubly enjoy
ed with our softer sex. Misfortune loses half
its anguish beneath the soothing influence OF
her smiles, and triumph becomes more Triumph
ant when shared with her. Without her what is

pleasure by romantic speculation, and cheated
into misery by futile hopes--the mad victim ol
unnamed passions, and the disappointed PusueI

than the narrow road to aggrindizement-

She calls the flowers to life again,
And decks with gorgeous hues the plain,

There's music in the murmur low,

There's music in the onward flow

There's music in the bubbing fountain
There's music on the sun-baihed mountain,
There's music on the Garth
There's music in the air
And music into birth

Sir Walter Raleigh, and by him imported into
England in 1900. Queen Anne, wife of King
james !, left in list of household expenses the
price Of potatoes in 1918. They then brought
one shilling per pound. They now sell for a.
bout one shilling per bushcl. They were intro.

as late as l72S that any but the arisiocracy, in
