The careful mother quail would lead her

The Congregational library.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Journal Of Commerce writes:
The changes and improvements that have
taken place in the Library of Congress un-
der the new librarian, DR.. j. G. Stephenson
are highly lauded by all who know any.
thing about them. The old catalogue, which
was two years in printing and cost $1,000,
and is 40 admirably classified that Carlyle's
SartOr Resartus appears under the head Of
Fiction, is to be superseded by new and
comprehensive catalogue. The manifold
treasures Of the library are also to be
brought out Of the recess where they have
been hidden for years. and 50 arranged and
enjoyed. That the old order of things in
this library was most deplorable is eylnced
by the following facts: When DIR. Stephen
son entered upon bis duties, he found the
valuable works OF Audubon, that cost
81 200, piled up against the corner of d
bookcase in dark corridor, all covered
with dust. During one of bis explorations
also, he came upon large box, and on
questioning bis attendant be was told that
nobody knew what Il contained. He had
II promptly opened. when out came q solid
macs of damp, blackened and rotten paper,
which bad once been series Of valuable
historical books, ell richly bound, which
had been brought from the Imperial Library
10 Paris by Alexander Vattemare. Indeed,
the whole collection Of books which were
secured to our Government by the indefat-
igable Frenchman in the way Of exchange
were almost in as bad a condition as the
box alluded to, not single case having
been arranged or cared for. Thanks to DR..
Stephenson and bis chief assistant, Mr..
SpOford, all Of these evils have been reme-
died. And it Is pleasant 10 know, further
more, that, hereafter. there will be both
taste and Judgment exercised 10 the par-
chase of books for the National Library,
for though ibs committee on the library di-
rect the purchases to be made, they are Of

BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

One of the proposed amendments to the
Constitution to be submitted TO the popular
vote Al the coming election, is whether the
Legislature shall meet annually or bienni-
ally. II the amendment 10 Article 4 of the
present instrument be not adopted, the Leg.
isIature will continue TO meet annually as
now; and il ii be adopted, it will meet but
once in two years.
In the free States, where the policy is To
keep the power close TO the people, but five
States-OhiO, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
aud Iowa-all Western, it may be said
hold their sessions Of the Legislature bien-
nially; the Legislatures OF all other free
States meet annually. Among the slave
States-Dela@are Virginia, North Carroll
"a, Alabama. Florida, Mississippi, Louis.
ana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mis-.
souri,, eleven, hold their sessions hennially;
and strange to say, South Carolina is not
one of these, because, perhaps, of the pro
perty qualification Of its members which
prevents the mudsills from obtaining seats
The policy of those States ia to keep the
law making power in the hands of the aris
tocracy-far from the mass as possible
hence the biennial sessions and long terms
of office.
But even If this were not so, is California
prepared TO adopt the biennial syslemi Two
years is too long TO have bad law on our
statute bOok-tOo lo0g to remain without
u good one when the people demand II. II
might do well IN old, settled, slow States;
but 10 this new one, full Of vigorous life
and goabeadativess, Il IL scarcely the pro.
per thing. Five Of the nineteen free States
and eleven of The fifteen slave States have
biennial sessloGs--in other words, only one
fourth the number Of free States have BIZ
ennial sessions while three-fourihs Of the
slave States have adopted that policy.
Fourteen free States meet in Legislative
session annually, while only four slave
States do. Why should California adopt the
biennial systemi And why now, when the
country is in troubled condition, and rev
OlntiOn snrges over large number Of
Statesl When the biennial system was pro-
posed peace reigned throughout the land
when 1t was indOrsed by the last Legisla
ture the belief was that the rebellion would
be'crushed out ere this; but the hydra head
Of the monster is peering up hlther and
thiIher where IL had been bruised by the
club OF Hercules. while the tail, cut into
mince meat. yet wriggles 10 the agony of
the death throe. If there be any good rea
con why this biennial system should be
adopted in the present political condition
of The country, let IL be stated; but at The
present the argument appears to be against
it.-LSac. Bee.

PATIENT sERMoN Exr1NouIsHER.-A suf-

ferer from long sermons suggests to the London
Times that after half an hours preaching the
bottom Of the pulpit should be contriyed to
come out, on the principle Of an ou5hette, and
project the clerical transgressor into the gull
below. Another proposes that sounding board
or cover, in the shape of an extinguisher made
exactly to fit the pulpit, be suspended above it,
and that at the expiration Of twenty-five min

gin to descend so as exactly at the half hour to
