eral states for internal Improvements and
educational purposes, Mr.. Rogers spoke
throughout the morning hour in favor of
the bill. In his judgment gross injustice
had been done the old States, therefore,
he was for distributing lands among all

resolution directing the committee on For

ency of authorizing the President, at

TO suspend the act of Congress prevent
ing expeditions from leaving the United
States against foreign countries. He
spoke on the Africanizing of Cuba, and
the interest Of the United States TO pre-
vent the same. After Mr.. SlidelI had
concluded, Messrs. Wade, Seward and
others opposed the resolutions, and it was
finally referred 10 the committee on For.
eign Relations.
In the House Mr.. Richardson gave
notice, that early next week he would
endeavor to bring to the attention of the

FThe Episcopal Church Journal, in
view Of tho general war in Europe-a
war that anon may involve all the civilized
nations OF the world, takes occasion to
point out the duty the Church has 10 per-
form.
"The distress and perplexily of nations
is her signs to lift up her head, in expec.
alton of her redemption. Some good will
come to her from the commissions that
now threaten the powers of the earth.
An OPPORTUNITY will present itself for
the extension-the ou..spreading of the
True Faith for, the revival of the pure
discipline Of CHRIST and for the overthrow
of Error, Corruption and Superstition
her readiness TO avail herself of which will
be the test of the Church's fidelity. The
emancipation of the Oriental Christians
from the besolting rule Of worn out ant
blind bigotry; the shaking to its very CEN
tre orlhe Roman tyranny that now oppres
ses the Dioceses Of Continental Europe
these are the certain consequences, o.
rather accomplishments of Genera
War, undertaken at this age of the world
with the political and social elements O
every community in the fermenting ant
erupttve condition in which they are q
present."

CoURTEsY.-Any one can be courteous

wrong, or is out of time or out of
place, or even disgreable there it is made
the best Of. not The worst; even effolts are
made to excuse it, and to show that it is
attributable to accident, not design. This
is not only easy but natural in The house
of friend. will not therefore, elieve
that what is natural in the house of ano,h-
or is impossible at home, but maintain,
without fear, that all the courtesies Of So
cial life may be upheld in domestic cir>
cles. A husband willing to be pleased at
home, and as anxious to please as in
neighbours house; and wife, as intent on
making things comfortable every day to
her family, as on set days 10 her guest,
could not fail 10 make their own home
