The Claims Board Proposition. what
We can learn, Congress will hardly make a
board of commissioners for the examination of
private claims on the Government, as at pres
ent urged. There can be 10 doubt of the i'm.
portance Of some efficient legislation designed
to expedite the settlement OF such claims on
the General G vernment as usually 60 before
Congress. We have repeatedly urged simple
changes in the rules for the transaction of
business, which, from long experience, we are
satisfied will, if adopted do much in that
way. But when, instead of adopting reforms,
they are permitting speeches on general poll
tics OF absent members engaged in lecturing
before distant literary societies, to be read in
the hall, no man Of common sense can hope for
real reform in their business methods and
modes The idea Of board of commissio on ers,
however, won't 60 down, while the memory of
the action of the late Mexican claims board
| remains fresh in the memory of the members
Shades Of the allowed Gardiner claim, and
others Of that ilk, defend US from any such
consumation as is sought to be brought about.
What is wanted is to place the business Of
siftirg the testimony in claim cases in the
hands Of regularly constituted judicial officers
| who shall report it to Congress for final action
otherwise it would be we'll to greatly increase
| the number of members Of the claims com.
mittees Of both Houses and to have the intere
| of the Government looked after before them
| Q
in every case by competent Governmsl
solicitor, under whose auspices each case shouli
be so Investigated, first before a sub .committs,
and then by the whole committee, as that whsr
q final report on any such case be made, il
will be regarded as conclusive, as reports in
such cases are considered when made to either
house Of the British Parliament.

Mr.. Bcwley remarked that if he thought
that the resolution could be amended so rs
to dj0urn one week sooner, he would vote
for the reconsideration, but that was not the
ohject-it was to postpone the time longer,
and therefore he should vote against II recon-
sdcration. lie concurrcd with the Senator
from Knox, (Mr. Nclson.) that if we adjourn
on the day agreed upon, We shall have staid
longer than any previous Legislature ever
held in the Statc-and that we had now staid
so long that the preachers had quit praying
for us; and the people were complaining, and
asking what we are doing; and it was shame
to impose upon the tax payers of the country
in this way; he differed with some profession.

and it they adjourned ut the time agreed up
on, it would be too late to put in his crop Of

Various theories have been started relative
to the origin of intestinal worms, and yet the
question is still n vexed one among medical
authorities. OF one fact, however, all are in
formed, and in which all agrec-the fatal ma
ture of the influence they exert on chileren.
At this season Of the year, the attacks OF
worms are most frequent rs well as most
dangerous. We take great pleasure in direct
ing the attention of parents to the Vermifuge
of Dr. MI.ane. IL is one Of the most extra
ordinary medicines ever introduced to the
public, and has never failed of success when
tried.
Purchasers will please be careful to ask for
Dr. NJ lance CcicJratcd Tsrmifnge. and take

~S Some one has discovered that lecches
when drunk will bite until sober; and, there.
fore, when they show Discrimination to bite,
he makes them drunk; he puts them into a
little warm beer, and directly they bcgin to
kick about, he takes them out holds them in
cloth, applies them, and finds that they will
bite Immediately and vigorously. This is one
of the very few cases of u parsonage being
more useful when drunk than when sober
The surgeons at the Hotel Dieu, at Paris, are
said to be little more delicate in their prac.
tico; they intoxicate their sluggish leeches
with u little warm wine and water, instead Of
beer.
