This gave rise to discussion which
took wide range and was generally
participated in, lasting from one to foul
O'Clock, when the vote was taken on the
first Fessenden amendment which was
disagreed to. Yeas IA, nays 80.
Mr.. Fessenden said, regarding this as
a test vote, and his second amendment
being dependent upon the first, ne
should withdraw it.
Mr.. Buckalow moved the executive
session.
Mr.. Trumbull hoped not. He hoped
the senators in favor Of this bill weuld
continue II until passed. III II was car
ried over from day to day it was hard to
tell when the result would be reached.
The debate of yesterday had been re-

ADEPRAVEn CURRENUY.

London Cor. Chicago Times
How long will the United States be

rency, kept up by congress? At this
| time clothing, sheeting, boots and shoes
| are far, very far cheaper in Europe than
| in the United States, while the qualities
Of goods are infinitely better. England
and France are in ecstacies over high
| prices ruling in the states. They can

$500, 100000 or $500, ,0OO,OGO of paper

! little or none being drawn in after peace
comes. So long as this imitation lasts
there will be speculation, to the perma-
nent injury of all, except perhaps inside
/ operators IN the New York gold room.
| One great secret of republican strength
as 8 party will be found in the fact that
no political party ever before had the
I disbursement Of nearly So, Gao, 600 600 in
| six years. No party ever before enabled
1 debtors to liquidate debts at fifty cents
/ on the dollar Nor has any party ever
before been so successful in making the
! people accept twO-tbirds of a dollar for q

/ getting the worth of their money. This
/ inflated currency will in time correct
itself. Any day q financial explosion
may happen, while about $500 ,000, 900
/ is kept sflOat in excess Of actual business

gress on the currency is cited in Europe

A New York paper speaking about the
Importation of Canary birdie from Ger
many. saws that the following sight was
seen in Florence, Italy, in 1851, by q
lady and gentleman belonging in New
York
In walking ln the principal street they
overlook man with long whip in his
hand, which he was moving from one
side to the other in what they thought
was strange manner. When they came
up with him they found he was driving
a flock OF Canary birds, as in England
they drive a flock OF turkeys. A carriage
came along, and the man waved his whip
in a peculiar manner, when the little
birds all went to the Sidewalk until the
carriage passed, when they took the
street again.
A woman wanted to buy one, when
the man spEinkled scme Canary bird
seed at his feet, and half dozen OF them
came to him, when he took one up in his
hand and delivered Il to the woman, who
paid him S franc. The man then went

out Of the market. Uplands, 322.
A Columbia, S. c., correspondent re-
ports remarkable meeting IN that city,
the occasion being the celebration Of the
passage of the bill enfranchising the
blacks. The meeting was addressed by
Wade Hampton and other ex-Confed-
crates. The best feeling prevailed. The
negroes will urge congress to repeal the
disfranchising clause which deprives
them Of the services Of those in whom
they have the greatest confidence.
Robert II. Newell has obtained a di-
voree from Adah Isaac Menken, the
equestrienne actress.
The trustees of the Peabody fund for
the education Of children in the south,

week, when Mr.. Peabody will probably
give his views on the distribution of the
funds.
A Very Cruz correspondent of the 4th
says the city is being rapidly fortified.
The French artillery has all been shipped
and the evacuation would be completed
In six days. Marshal Bazaiue would

Of soap. The objective point was San

A New York Pick-pocket.

A well-dressed gentleman, of elegant
manners, one day appeared at a Broadway
jewelry store, and asked to have manu-
factured for him fnger-ring of very Pc
culiar construction, the principal feature
of which was to be blade, which was to
be controlled by spring under the man
agemont of the thumb of the same hand.
The steel blade was of the purest metal,
and was sharpened to the keenest posi-
bic edge, and set in a ring so massive
that the knife could not be discovered
This being before the advent of any of
of the expert London pick-pockets to
New York, with their ingenious contri-
vances, the jewelry manufacturer inquired
of his customer its use. This gentleman
very kindly volunteered same sort of an
ingenious explanation, for which be was
thanked, and then he duly departed
Hardly had he left the place before the
jewelry proprietor discovered that the
watch pocket of his vest, into which he
had carelessly thrust the money he had
just received, had been cut, and that the
smart thief had actually, while the gen.
tleman was talking to him, cut his pocket
with the very ring he had just bought,
and stolen from that pocket the identical
money which had been paid him for the
ring itself.

Long Sermons.

Church -goers Of the present day, who
dread the prospect of long sermons, should
become patient listeners when they learn
that in I'LL clergyman in Colesford, in
Somersetshire, England, preached to a
large congregation sermon which con.
sisted of sixty-three pages of printed
matter. When he reached the end of the
thirty first page he said: "Thus have
(you may wish could say briefly con-
sidered the two things / proposed in the
beginning Of this discourse, and possibly
the only inference you may desire me to
make is that tits high time for me to
leave off; yet, considering this is the first,
and probably will be the last, instance of
my trespassing on your patience, shall
beg leave to conclude with the following
references The worthy clergyman,who
was just half through, then continued
with eight differences, the discussion of
which occupied thirty-two pages; ant, mot
inaptly at the close he said: Sand hope
every good Protestant will heartily say
amen" which vas no doubt as heartily
said as the Clergyman desired.

A Years Trouble.

Sometimes compare the troubles We
have to undergo in the course of 8 year
to great bundle of fagots far too large
for US to lift. But God does not require
us to carry the whole at once. He mer-,
cifully unties the bundles and gives us
first one stick, which We are able to carry
to-day, and then another, which we are
able to carry to- morrow, and SO on -,
This we might easily manage,if we would
only take the burden appointed for Us
each day; but We choose to increase our
troubles by carrying yesterdays troabls
over again to day and adding to.fnorrow's
burden to our lead before we-are required
to bear it. as5s 49,.

The influence of Newspaper.

The newspaper should be regarded as
benefit to every household, 1t imparts
useful information; it furnishes subjects
for thoughtsand conversation; it adds a
charm for social intercourse; it makes
agreeable members of society. To be
without newspaper one mightas we'll be
out of the world; he becomes perfect
nobody; when be goes into society and
hears others talk about current events
and discuss questions of general interest
he can take no part in these things be-
cause he is not posted, not having read
the papers.
And in the family circle what an in
fuence the paper has-the children read
it and gain knowledge; it serves to occu,
py their leisure hours, to keep them
from frivolous amusementsr and gives
an attraction for home. Surely
then, no wise parent would consent to GO
without newspaper in his family--and
local home newspaper too. He may
think he can get along without il, because
be is out of the world, and can have the
reading of the paper from neighbor's
shop or store, or he can learn what is
going on frcm others. But this is rather
q mean way. Men oughtto be independ-
ent. They ought to read for them
selves.
If, however, they think they do moi
need themselves, they may res. assured
their families do. Considerations liks
these should have their weight, and should
induce those who have not taken pa.
per to subscribe at once for one.
