DANIEL WEBSTER AND MS TEACHER.

The great statesman has addressed a very aflec-
onate letter to his old teacher, Col JAMES TAPPAN,
now in the 64th year of his age Mr. Webster SAYS
10 this that he has never been able TO recoilec the
time when he could not read The Bible, and con-
cludes from this that his Mother must have taught
him very young. After referring 10 some OF the
companions Of his school days Mr. Webster says:
You have indeed lived ehequered life Ihope
you have been able to bear prosperity with meek
ness, and adversely with paiience These things
all ordered for us far better than could order
them for ourselves. We may pray for our daily
bread We may pray for The forgiveness OF sins;
we may pray TO be kept from Temptation and that
the kingdom Of God may cumei US. and in all
men, and his will everywhere be done, Beyond
this we hardly know for what good to supplicate The
Divine mercy. Our Heavenly Father who know
eth what We have need Of better Jhan we know our
selves and We are sure thar his eye and his loving
kindness are upon and around us every moment

HOW CONGRESS LEcIsLArEs.


The New York Tribune, one of whose editors
was member Of the lale Congress, gives, an ac-
count Of The manner in which some Of the laws Of
ths las, session were passed during its last days:
Sums Of money have been voted to objects
which Congress never designed to favor,
among which is the sum Of S350,000 to an
individual to construct magnetic telegraph
to the Pacific or the North Pole, one about
aslpracticable at this time as the other, and
each equally as profitable as an investment
But carelessness aud disregard of the peo-
pies interests are still further exhibited in
the fact that an amendment of the Senate to
a bill Of the House, striking out proyiso
which the latter had adopted, was never sub
United 10 the House again, and the Speaker
il signing the bill. took the responsibility
Of writing into the engrossed and enacted
Law the Proyiso which the House had adopt
ed, but the Senate had rejected

POWER PRESS.

A CHAScE FOR Inventors The New
York Tribune has been authorised by George
Bruce, Esq, to offer premium Of $1,000 to
the first inventor who shall construct and
submit, for Judgment a press which will
throw off five hundred large imperial sheets
per hour, and can be built aud sold for $500
The cost Of working the press is not to be
greater than that of the Smith press-the
patent right, Of course, to remain with the
inventor
We sincerely hope that Mr. Bruce's public spir-
tied offer may have the effect Of securing 50 mpor-
tant an Invention. The present prices Of power
presses are exceedingly high, and many publishers
and printers who. really need such an article are
deferred from purchasing il. Power presses capa-
BIZ of thr6wiDg of 500 sheets an hour and costing
only $500; would find purchasers in every news
