ull paid monthIyj aud last month the old
man had to borrow several wagon ads
Of half dollars from the mint ia order 10
pay them. This state of things made il i'm.
perative that something should be done,
aud the result was said twenty millions
bill. While then the nation at large will
be benefited very little, / directly, the
object of those who made the law was TO
benefit themselves directly.
This panic in the commercial world
has had the effect to make the Legislators
of the nation less prodigal than ever be.
fore. by unanimous vote they invited
the clergy Of the City of Washington to
do their praying r them gratuilously.
Saving prudeI, men," as the English
man said. Sage Legislators. receiving
$4,000 each for about three hours work
per day, for six months of the year, and
only pay Chaplain $500 for the same
periJd Of time, and require him TO preach
also on the Sabbath day. What an enor.
nous expenditure Of money! Who eau
wonder in these tight times that they ask.

ltously' Cheap asking Of course, cheap
blessing! Dead.heading il 10 heaven is

ready method for communicating our
thoughts and expressing our feelings. In
no other way, perhaps, can one OF the
win'er evenings Of each week be more
proftably employed. 1t would, however
be an improvement, and very great one
too, with many debating associations, il
the young ani old, male aud female,
would participate together, a. members,
