Members Of Congress do not seem to
agree with the President's aimable sug-
gestion that the situation in Mexico may
be left to the amelioration of time. On
the contrary, q half dozen or more Sena-
tors and Members of the House-among
them General Schenck, have initiated 3
raid upon Maximilian, which will result
in Congressional record il nothing
more. Two sets of resolutions call up
on the President for information about
the sick man, and three other sets de
clare substantially that nothing but DIR.
Yankee with his blue pills will effect q
radical cure. While we like the yigor-
Gus tones Of these several resolutions,
we can't help but think that a gentle ap-
plication of ,.masteriy inactivity" is the
most wholesome regimen that Uncle Sam
car administer in the case. If any body
had confidence that the Empire was likely
to establish itself. the resolutions Of
Congressman, added to the fact that we
have official knowledge that there are yet
2o0,O troops in the field, and supplies
for three years war on hand, there
might be cause to apprehend a row about
the Halls Of the Montezumas, but just
now we might as well make up our minds
to .'go slow for there will be no war

Hain,t A Mother Like the Rest.

The weather had been unusually mild
for two or three days before Christmas,
so that the ice on the big pond was rot
ten; but Harry thought he could brave
it; it would be pity not TO enjoy fur
now, and SO many admiring eyes fixed
upon him He made q bold dash--his
little figure. upright and graceful, was
balanced upon the ice. Then there was
a crash. The ice gave away; and with
loud cry, Harry disappeared beneath
it. The group AT the window seemed
for moment paralyzed with horror
Then several voices exclaimed:
He Is under water father, father,
Harrxa under the ice -
Every particle of color had gone from
Farmer Mays face He trembled and
threw up his hands wildly.
"Oh. help" he cried. MY boy
nv boy and l can't swim y
=. But l can shouted O voice.
! can swim and I'll save him. and DASH
ing past the weeping mother, Joseph
/ Craig plunged into the freezing water.
How they watched him, breathless and
excited. How they shuddcred when they
saw him grasp, once, twice, at dark Oh
ject under the water and then rise, his face
gashed and bleeding from contact with
the ugly ice corners. lie was some Way
out, but breaking tine ice he swan slow
" and with difficulty to the land with
one arm holding up poor Harry.
Thank Godi' cried the happy pa
rent folding him in his arms. They
bore him to the roaring fire III the sit
ting room, and rubbed him until he
opened his ewes. Very soon he was
able to sit up.
And where was Joseph7 Sitting on
the kitchen floor. squeezing his wet
clothes and rubbing the great painful
gashes on his arms and face from which
the blood was still streaming.
Joseph" 1t was Farmer May s
voice, unusually soft aud tender Be
fore he was aware, the poor apprentice
lad felt a strong arm round him, and IN
moment found himself sitting beside
Harry, with great tears rolling down the
grateful boy 8 cheeks.
. If there's anything you wish for
now, Joseph," said the farmer, "any-
thing youd d like to have. just name it,
my boy. You have saved US many a
year of sorrow and given us cause TO
to remember this Christmas before all
others
Twice Joseph tried to gulp down the
sobs rising in his throat, sobs OF JOY
they were.
:. Only be kind to me sir" he said at
length .'Only drop q kind word to me
now and then, for han't any mother
like, the rest"

1t is somewhat curious to notice, says
An .4rmy and Noyy Journal, that the 4inch
plate iron, p inches wide by feet long,
with which the classmates of the rebel
ram StonewalI are plated, has the French
trade mark of rolling mill at Tours.
Her guns and mahogany gun carriages
are marked Sir VIM. Armstrong q Co,
Newcastle upon Tyne, England; and the
dials or indicators in the casemates, by
which the motions of her machinery are
regulated whilst the vessel is in action,
are marked in Danish. Although built
in France. she also has . pair of patent
English anchor bits, which appear to be
a very good pattern.

There is proposition before Congress

There is proposition before Congress
to pay Mrs. Lincoln 8100. 900. = the
amount of President Lincoln s salary for
four years. AS mere matter Of Ma
tional magnanimity this is very we'll, but
as matter of justice to the people it is
wrong, and the bill ought not to pass.
The widow of General Taylor received
the amount Of salary due him at his
death. The widow of General Harrison
received one years salary, which was
proper enough We don't think Mrs.
Lincoln is entitled to more than that
amount from the public treasury. II

Practical Jokes Played by a Horse.

The following anecdote is from an English
paper. There was, some years ago, q very
doe horse ia the possession OF Henry Meux
& Co.. the eminent brewers, used as dray
horse, bnt so tractable that he was left some
times without any restraint to walk about the
yard, and return to the stable according to
his fancy. In the yard there were also REV
pigs OF peculiar breed, fed on grain and corn
and to these pigs the horse had evidently an
insuperable objection. There was "a deep
trough in the yard holding water for the
horses, where the horse went often taking his
mouth full of corn. When he reached the
trough he let the corn fall near il on the
grouad, and when the young swine approach
cd II lfor the old ones kept aloof,1 he would
suddenly seize one of them by the tail, pop
him into the trough, and then caper about the
yard, seemingly delighted with the frolic.-
The noise of the pig soon brought the men to
his assistance, who knew from experience
what was the matter, while the horse indulg-
ed In all sorts of antics, to show his glee, and
then returned quietly to his stable"
