that DR. J. c. Young is 50 sue, osiul while other
ADVERTISING Physicians 'ie Filling from dag to

apparent to all; it j.. that he Understands hi

increases. his knowledge extends. So close has
been his application to his unprecedented prtc-
tce. that he is perfect master OF his prOeSolon,
and can insure all relief from their troublr; aud
while Others are daily shaking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to bedellvcred.

been his increase OF business that he has been
Obliged to associate hmsrli with two oth'r physi-

We would advise all ufIl ctel to call upou him in

37th Congress---First Session
WASHINGTON, January q.

HASHINGTONj January IL
HOUSE-The house proceeded to the con-
sideration of the bill regulating the carriage
of printed matter outside the mails requir-
ing the postage to be paid, &c.
Mr.. Colfax, of Indiana, explained and ad
vocated the bill for tax on printed matter,
&c.
Mr.. Morrill,, of Maine, said the subject
should be considered as a postal measure,

The bill requiring newspapers to pay
postage when not sent through mall came
up, and Mr.. ColfaX made long argument in
favor of the bill After long discussion it
was moved to lay the whole subject on the
table. Disagreed to-6l to &C.
Mr.. Morrill, moved to recommit the bill to
the Postofice Committee, which was voted
down.
Mr.. Colfax reported a substitute, which
was disagreed to with all the sections pro-
posing a tax on kilograms, after which the
original bill was laid on the table-76
against 60.
The Senate bill authorizing the President
to appoint two additional Secretaries of War
for one year was passed.

REINFORCEMENT WANTED.-lt is not for us
to Iun over the various items of Congress
sional expenditure, and point out where
there can be a rational saving. We can not,
for instance, say how much the salary of the
members should be diminished. But a man
like Senator Wilson, who, it is we'll known,
is not rich in this worlds goods, emphat-
ically declares: ave must reduce our own
salaries'-and we willingly leave to such
men the determination of the whole matter.
But it will doubtless strike a large portion of
the country with surprise to learn that the
other expenses of Congress exceed the sala-
ries and the mileage, heavy as they are. The
Senators expended last year for the single
item of stationery $l2 900, or $3.50 apiece.
Is it possible that this could have been neces-
sary? Their newspapers cost them So, 800; /;
their miscellaneous" $4,000; their Con-
gressionaI Globes $62, 1888; their binding and
engraving $3.50, 72l leaving a total for such
items of 1921, $50 IL. The expenditures of
the House were on a similar scale The
members newspapers alone cost them $l2,-
500. They paid their clerks $ll6,6 gener-
ously adding thereto 81, 500 for "herses, car
riages and saddle-horses" Their "miscel-
laneous" bill, after every other conceivable
want is provided for, is $4,000. In short
the current expenditure of the two Houses,
aside from the public printing, exceeds 81
000, 000-BOstoH journal.

About Knnpsacks.

Within the last month, two hundred
thousand knapsacks have been delivered to
the Government in addition to previous pur-
chases of about seven hundred thousand
during the past eight months The con-
tract, for more than one-half of these KNAPP
sacks has been given to parties in this
city, the remainder being distributed be.
tween Philadelphia, Wilmington, Del, and
Newark, N. j. The contract price has
ranged from 81 SO to 50 60, averaging
about 50, so that the total expenditure for
this single article of military equipment has
been nearly two millions of dollars. more
substantial article, after the French and
Prussian pattern, has been purchased for
some regiments, at cost Of from 81 to
S4 80. Ten thousand of them have been
imported, and five thousand more manu-
factured by Edward Gumbs, of No. 3 Muir
ray-street in connection with other con-
tracts.
The manufacture of these knapsacks has
given employment TO the trunkmakers of
this city at time when the sales in their
regular business were less than twenty per
cent. of ordinary years. 1t is estimated
that some twelve thousand operatives, male
and female, have been kept at work in this
way directly, while the industry of large
number of others has been incidentally af-
fected. Brass founders, stair rod makers,
wire-drawers and others, workers in metal,
whose usual business is completely dead,
have turned their attention to the manufac-
ture of brass trimmings for knapsacks,
while large number of others have found
employment in furnishing the immense
number of buckles and straps required.
The demand for canvas, thread, paint, ETC.,
has also stimulated trade in these articles,
and not less than ten or fifteen thousand
dollars has been expended for the single ar
ticle of wax, with which the thread used in
sewing is stfiened.
Before the present war, the Government
knapsacks were all made in Philadelphia,
at the regular price of 81 72 each but
competition has reduced the price to an
average Of about 81, some contracts having
been taken as low as 81 SO. The large
number of knapsacks called for shows that
our soldiers are not as careful of them as
they might be. A good knSpsack ought to
last two or three years, and even with such
| treatment as they ordinarily receive, at
least year. But many regiments not six
months in the field, have had two sets al.
ready, and some after being supplied by the
State, have obtained requisitions on the
Government for q new lot and thrown their
old ones away, while still valuable for use

VANITY OF LFE.-When look upon the
tombs of the great every emotion of envy
dies within me; when l read the epitaphs
of the beautiful, evey inordinate desire
goes out; when meet the grief of parents
on a tombstone, my heart melts with COM
passion; when see the tombs of parents
themselves, l consider the vanity for griev-
ing for those whom we must quickly fol-
low; when | see kings lying by the side of
those who deposed them-when l see rival
wits placed side by side, or the men that
divided the world by their contests, reflect
with sorrow and astonishmet on the lit
tie competitions, factions, and debates of
mankind; when read the date of tombs of
some that died but yesterday, and some
six hundred years ago, l consider that
great day when we shall all be contempo-
raries, and make our appearance together.
