A PUZZLE.

A wonderful and strange Prophet has made
his appearance in our country for a consider
able time. His generation commenced o
considerable time before the first man (Adam)
was created. His coat is neither knit nor
wove, is often of divers brilliant colors---the
material is neither silk, cotton, wooden, linncn
hair, bark nor leather--is without seam, and
fits neatly. He gets one new suit every year
gives notice of events before they take
place. His food is plain and common. He
does not keep Lent, but cats meat any season
of the year, and either with or without cook
ing. He is fond Of milk, but generally drinks
water-never begs, but often takes without
leave. Prefers to lodge in some clubhouse
or vacant building, goes about every day, but
never travels more than Sabbath days
journey week day or Sabbath-is prompt in
giving the alarm when an enemy is in view
marries no wives, but generally keeps num-

That the Or. should have determined to uuit
writing when fresh supply of material was
so near Mt hand. Such are the eccon;ricities
of genius. 4
Now, as the DR.. says in his last, when he
gets through with these long pogarisms and
commences with his own, "a serious fall t.
is, ,ruly,) "but to be serious" This literar,
piracy, this intellectual theft-the worst OF
all llstealing-eclpse even the rest Of the Dr. s
strange course. Its boldness redeems 1t
somewhat however. Besides, his last letter
Enough principally made up of long extracts
from mine, Of o scene or two from Macbeth
and OF these copious plagiarisms, has some
what of originality. The obscurity is mostly
his own. This he need neither steal nor bor-
row. AS he seems TO be reader refer him
to H,sop. There is there an instructive fable
OF an animal who stole lions skin, and
though he got up quite respectable roar,
the ears unfortunately protruded and betray-
ed him. Most respectfully,

GLORIOUS NEWS d!

The second semi-annua session of our bien-
nial Legislature has resolved to make q final
adjournment on the l4th day ofMarch. They
will adjourn early on Monday morning, which
will enable them to draw their four dollars for
the preceding Sunday, as well as pay g. mile
age both, for Monday. Well, we are glad to
get rid of them on any terms; and we hope
that every righteous man may fervently pray
that the State may never have another such
Legislature inflicted upon it. And as we are
assured that the prayers Of the wicked do not
prevai-we hope that class will carefully ab-
stain from such prayers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. oI.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Gl.
SENATE.--A motion was made to take I'D
the Army appropriation, Homestead and Pa.
cific Railroad bills. The latter came up as
amended on Saturday.
Mr. Rusk contended that the amendment
was equivalent to defeat of the bill.
Messrs. Shields and Douglass argued that
the amendment, by providing that none OF
the twenty millions appropriated should be
expended in the States, removed only con.
stitntional objection to the measure as orgi-
nally proposed; there would now be as much
land and money appropriated for that part in
the Territories as was before provided to con-
struct the entire route.
The vote adopting Shields amendment to
the Pacific Railroad bill was rcconsidered.
Mr.. Weller moved to modify il by leaving
out that part confnng the work in the States
to the exclusive control of the States.
Mr.. Grier took the same view of it as Mr..
Gwinn, and opposed it because he believed it
would prove fatal to the bill
The ayes and noes being taken the amend
ment was rejected.
The Senate adjourned.

HAVNE AND WEBsTER's SPEECHES Red.
ding g. Co., Boston, have published in neat
pamphlet of "a pages the speech of General
Hayne, of South Carolina, in the u S. Sen
ate, on Mr.. Foot's Resolution, January, 1880,
and Mr.. Webster's reply to it. Gen. Hayne
was an eloquent debuter, and fine spec'mine
of Carolina chivalry and gentlemanly bear
ing. On the occasion in question: he stood
forth ostensibly as the champion of the South,
and ventured to break a lance with the intel
lcctual giant of the North.-That he was
worsted in the contest is unanimously conce-
ded, yet the speech is of interest as u remnis-
cence of period of high political excitement
and acrimony; and is, moreover, necessary to
a competent understanding of Mr.. Webster's
reply. This, it is generally known, has ever
been regarded and spoken of as "the great
speech" o! the Massachusetts, statesman; as q
profound and luminous exposition of funda-
mental principles Of the Federal Constitution.
Had he never delivered another speech this
alone would have transmitted his name to the
latest periods of the Republic.
This publication, interesting at any time.
derives additional interest from the reccni
death of one of these distinguished orators.
ind we have no doubt will be eagerly saugh,

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.


IIoUsE.-The House did nothing yesterday

delayed the business of the session.
Mr.. Venable contended that,,th delay wa.
the fault of the rules, and advocated their re-
peal Others said the delay was owing tt

lars salary to the clerk of the Census Bureau,
instead of $2,5oo A bitter onslaught was
made on him by Messrs., Walker and Davis,
relative to the cost of the census-costng
over 100000, and now more asked for.
A motion to take up the Deficiency bill
was rejected. The debate was resumed and
subsequent motion carried-yeas SO, noes
not counted.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II

WASHINGTON, rep. II.
SENATE-Mr Underwood, from the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, to which was
referred various petitions in regard to secur-
ing religious freedom for American citizens
abroad, made report accompanied by ''reso-
lutions setting forth that it would be Just and
wise on the part of the Government in future
treaties with foreign nations, to secure, if
practicable, to our citizens residing abroad
the right to worship God freely "nd openly,
according to the dictates of their own con-
science, by providing that they shall not be
disturbed or molested in any manner for re-
ligous belief either in private houses or in
churches, and that they shall be 1T liberty to
build and maintain places of worship abroad,
provided that due respect be paid to the re-
ligion of the country where Americans may
reside. -.t ....
The second resolution provides for secur.
ing the right of establishing burial grounds,
where American citizens dying abroad, can
be buried with such religious ceremonies as
may be deemed appropriate by surviving
friends.
The Pacific Railroad bill was taken up.
Mr.. Bell concluded his speech; Mr.. Smi,h
followed The Senate'ad journed.
