Gossip to the Little Ones,

Part Of our gossip, daily, must be to the
little ones, with whom We wish the Penny
Rsss to be fsvorite. Children, the trees
that from their appearance have been dead
during Tho winter, will sson exhibit new
life. They are not dead, but sleeping rough
overcoat hides fresh and juicy inner bark.
This, during the warm weather Of tho spring,
becomes full Of sap. The growth Of the tree
is from the flow Of the sap, upward from the
rcots knitted in the soil. Every year the liv-
Ing inner bark goes to work and makes layer
OF wood out Of the sep that Is in 1t. This
work is done in warm weather, and new layer
OF wood is formed by it all up the trunk, and
alony out to the end Of all the branches. The
wood part Of the trunk and branches 10 full Of
small pipes, through which the sap, singular
to Us, hows upward even to the end, or tho
leaves Of the tallest tree. II man wanted
70 send up streams to such hight, It would

Close of the Carnival-Lent Season.

Close ofthe Carnival-Lent Season.
The week before Lent, in Catholic countries,
is usually >observed with merriment and
rsvelry. The reign of pleasure closes with
Mardi- Gras-to.m evening. In France,
Spain and Italy the carnival season is one of
universal gaiety and freedom, degenerating,
often, into buffoonery and folly. To-day and
tomorrow persons in masks will crowd the
Boulevards at Paris, and day and night will
indicate the intensity Of the relish of the people
for fun, who, on Wednesday, will bid farewell
to meats, and restrict mind and body, by fssts,
for forty days, during Lent. Many of the re-
ligious obssrvanoes Of the church are deemed
ridiculous to those who are more cultivated,
but instructive and impressive lessons result to
those needing imposing ceremonials, or cere-
monisl observances. Dramatic literature in
Germany is said to have had its birth from these
Faschings, or holiday sports.
Lent. fast of forty days, observed by the
Catholic and Episcopalisn, and sometimes by
Lutheran Churches, begins day after to.mor-
row--Ash Wsdnesday-and continues until
Easter Sunday, April 8. Tomorrow is Shroye
Tueaday-confession time, or Pancake Day.
After each cburchman had repaired to the
parish priest and confessed his sins, in oldsn
times, he partook OF his home Of pancake
made of -four, eggs and spice; shrived, fed,
and the Mardi Gras festivities over, he OBJ
served Ash Wednesday with the humiliation
of q penitent in saokcloth, and with ashes on
his head. The ashes were from the burning
Of tho palms cOnsecrated on Palm Sunday Of
the preceding year. These occasions should
be respected; kindly charity should he ex-
tended towards those differing with Uses
pecially as to their religious belief.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
From Washington.


WARRINGTON February 19-The House
Committee on Territories have under consider
alton the subject for territorial governments
Of Nevada, Pixies Peak and Dacotah. Bills,
1t 10 said, will be reported in these cases--.
certainly to the last-named. The committee
contemplate nothing further for Arizonia, at
present, than Surveyor General and judicial
District. The Committee on Agriculture have
decided 10 report q Homestead Bill which
will pass the House, but it's success in the
Senate ia uncertain. Tho friends OF, protec-
tion are confident that the Committee of Ways
and Means will soon report bill enclosing
specific instead of ad valorem duties, wherever
the Same is practicable. Those who have
closely sorutinizsd tho subject say the House
most equally divided on the question Of the
franking privilege, and the preponderance Of
feeling is against its abolition.
Tho Paragusyan Commissioners have met
with q cordial reception from the officers Of
our Government after the formal exchange of
the ratification of the Bowlin Treaty this
week. He will enter upon his duties this
week under the special convention for the set
tlement Of the indemnity due tho Hopkins
Company.
The House Committee on the Postoffice will,
at an carly day, give Mr.. Miles, of s. c., a
hearing on the subject of restoring to the
steamer Isatel tho regular mail service be-
tween Charleston and Havana, which is
strongly urged by hemerchants of Charleston,
Savannah, Key West, and New York. The
House Committee appointed to inquire into
the existing laws and to report reforms in the
matter of executing and tho prices paid for
printing and binding, had long session yes
terday, Superintendent Of Public Printing
Hart giving many valuable hints from his
long experience on that subject.
The He-alds Washington correspondence
says; Mr.. Sherman, from the Committee on
Ways and Means, on Monday, will report two
Indian appropriation bills-the annual bill
appropriating $4,000 of money, tho other
deficiency bill embracing $540, 900. The
latter bill is based upon the ratification by ths
Senate Of about eleven treaties with as many
different tribes of Indians in Oregon and
Washington Territory. These treaties have
been made since 1850, and were all ratified by
the Senate at ito session in March, 1859. All
of them contain stipulations which can be
sot aside at the discretion of the President,
and they provide for the payment of about
ten million dollars In annual annuities Of
$3.50, 900, of which the deficiency bill to be
reported on Tuesday, is the first.
The Sons Of Malta adjourned yesterday to

THE CAUSE OF VESSELS DECAY M. Kuhl.
mann asserts that the use of iron nails in
building wooden ships is one of the chief
cuuses Of their decay. The rotting decay of
wood is process of slow combustion, and M.
Kuhlmann considers that the iron nails act as
carriers for oxygen, and introduce it into the
substance of the timber. By contact with
water and air the iron is rapidly converted
into sesquioxide. In this state it yields .
portion Of its oxygen to the wood, and is re-
duced to the state Of protoxide, which further
action Of air and moisture converts to the ses-
quioxide, and so the process goes on.
