Mr.. Pit offered the following:
Resolved, That the Speaker be authoriz-

Mr.. Abney-I move to put the resolution
on the table
Mr.. P.tt-Mr. Speaker, the House passed
resolutions, sir to celebrate in an apprepri-
ate manner, the sth of January. This is .
resolution simply asking that notice be CIV
en- TO the public OF that day. We have de-
cl@rcd an intention, and now, when we come
to publish it some gentlemen is suddenly
seized with the 're,renchment sripes," and
squilms around like long red worm on
PIN hook. Laughter.J Gentlemen keep
continually taking about economy. /, my
self, do not believe in tyin- the public purse
with cobweb strings, but when retrsnch-
ment comes in contact with patriotism 1t as
suines the form OF "smallness." Such econ
orny is like t,a, of Old Skinflint, who had

soIes, that they might last the longer

HAIR WASH FOR DAxDRuFr.-A cores
pondent writing to US requests recipe for
preparing bears grease" TO prevent his
hair falling out, and to free his head from
dandruf. We are not acquainted with any
preparation of bears grease which is capable
of effecting such important results. If there
is any virtue in bears grease to accomplish
such objects, we think the genuine article
must be superior to any chemical prepara-
ton Of it, and the only way to obtain it
pure, to a certainty, is to nab ''Bruin," and
make sure of his pork.
We give, as follows, however, very good
recipe for making a hair-wash which will
remove dandruif and keep the scalp clean and
soft, so as to prevent the hair. in ordinary
circumstances, from falling out: Take one
pint of alcohol and table spoonful Of cas-
tor oil, mix them together in bottle by
shaking them we'll for few minutes, then
scent it with few drops Of oil Of lavender
Alchohol dissolves castor oil, like gum cam.
phor, leaving the liquid or wash quite clear
It does not seem TO disolye any other unc.
tuous oil so perfectly, hence no other is
equally good for this purpose. .-Scientft

BAD FouNDArIoN.--A correspondent OF
the National Intelligsneer attributes the un-
heathiness of New Orleans to the character
of the ground upon which it is built Here
is an extract which is enteresting to geolo-
gst:
That great city is built upon forest Q,
cypress! The situation of the place is SO
remarkable and peculiar that it cannot es-
cape ones attention. 1t is on an aliuvial
plain, of recent geological formation, and Of
an unknown age and depth.
An attempt, made here sometime ago, re-
vealed the fact that, for six hundred feet, at
least, the same formation was obtained
Rows upon rows of the stumps of cypress
have been found growing over each other
exactly superimposed; each Of which layers
mnst have been taken thousand of years to
form. DIR. Benret Dowler. the able editor
of the Medical journal Of New Orleans in
formed me that he himself had observed four
layers Of these cypress stumps within the
limits of the city.

The meanest man in The world has turned
up at Buffalo. His name is not given, but
a chapter in his his'ery points him out AZ
tho meanest man Of the age. He held
claim against one Of his neghbors, which he
placed in the sheriffs hands. No property
could be found by the officer, but the cred
tor made an examination. and discovered
small monument at one OF the marble yards
tn the city, which had been ordered by the
debtor to be placed over the grave OF little
child he had recently buried. The sheriff
was advised of this discovery, and although
he remons trated, the creditor insisted that
the stone should be sold. At the sale. there
was no one mean enough to bid upon it but
the creditor. and it was knocked down to
him. A little monument of child, with
the names of the parents and their offspring,
upon 1.-THE figure of dog. the emblem Of
fidelity, in attitude OF rspose, surmounting
it-xas brought in by this thing in human
form.

ILLINOIS.
Oh what house we're livingin
Whoe'erd have thought of this!
But, then, I'm sure it's no great sin,
For don't We live in bliss?
'Tis rather rough, and shakey too
AS well as those within
Still, We have little else to do
But work and keep it clean.
Potatoes-they have all decayed,
As well as smaller grain;
But then the winters rather mild
We surely can't complain.
If we can but contrive to stay
Until warm days shall come,
Well not put of t'another day
What ought to now be don..
So il our feathered tribe will lay,
And give US each day some,
Well try and live from day to day
IN something can be done.
We have to live, tits very true,
On rather straitened feed,
Because we know twill never do
To use up all our seed.
But if our creditors will bear,
With this, our poor narration,
Wen dig in spring till every hair
Is wet with pcrspiration.
And II we're blessed with such crop
As they had two years ago,
Our creditors not another day
Shall say that them We owe.
Wen pay ther.- every cent that's due,
And give them our right hand,
And say that We be farmers true
To till our prairie land.
But II our creditors will run
Among our plou,hs and steeds.
We'll lose our iauls-they what oWr
And all viii run to weeds.
