What Congress Costs the Country and What
Little Work it Performs


The Washington correspondent of tho
"New York Herald telcgraphs as follows,
under date of the Sd instant:
Congress is very expensive institution of
the Government, and not alone expensive,
but lazy and inefficient to great degree. The
representatives of which it is composed, are
sent here by the people to perform the bust
ness of national legislation. The manner in
which it IS performed is one thing, and the
amount of work done another. If any large
private business firms employed number of
men to go to a certain city and hold con-
ventlon for the transaction of mercantile mat
ters, and discovered that their Representatives
had been several weeks together, without
touching upon single subject in which these
firms were Interested, it would be very strange
1t they failed to discharge the entire crowd
and engage the services Of others, who would
give more of their time and attention to the
business. The people cannot SO readily dis.
pense with their servants but they have lust
as much right to demand that the men thev
employ and send here, shall do the business
of making laws for the convenience and vel.
fare OF the country. Besides, these public
Servants are we'll paid for their time and COM
'fortably provided for at the capitale Thus
far in this the third session of the forticth
Congress, which in the meanwhile has cost
the country about 100000 in salaries and
other forms of expense, really nothing in the
way of business has been transacted. Ten
bills have passed bott

PRESERVING MEAr.--At the recent pub.
lic meeting of the Massachusetts, Board of
Agriculture at Amherst in that State, Prof.
John Gamgee, of the hoyal Veterinary Col
lege OF London, read paper on "The Pros.
orvatlon and the Putrefaction of Meats" and
Inc analogous one Of the production of yor-
MIN, suoh as maggots, &c., in animal flesh,
living or dead. He did not favor the idea Of
spontaneous generation. The theory that pu.
trefaotive germs existed both in tho flesh and
IN the atmosphere, was advanced Hence tho
process OF salting or boiling has the effect to
destroy these germs.
After discussing the various methods here.
tofore employed in meat preservation, he de-
scribed what he called the stcharcoal process"
which consisted of the application Of charcoal
mixed with sixty-five times its weight in sui
phurio acid. This process required only
twenty-five days. A leg of beef preserved in
this way had been cut from for steaks at diffe.
rent periods during the lapse Of two month,
and had been used at the Fifth Avenue Flo.
tel, with perfect satisfaction. Tho cost of
preserving bullock in ths way could not ex-
coed dollar, and of sheep not moro than
ten cents. Indeed, half these sums he thought
would be sufficient Meat packed in this way
had been eaten and pronounced excellent in
every climate in the world. The importance
OF this discovery, and its advantages over 9th.
er processes that have boon in use, we're set
forth at length with muck force and clo-
qucncc.
Hon. NJ. j.. Wilder endorsed the remarks
of the essayist, and said that he and others
had tested a leg of mutton preserved in this
way at the Parker House in Boston and BRO
noupsed it equal to the best fresh mutton -

THE Pork MARKEr.-The "Cincinnati
Gazette" urges farmors to sell their hogs
1t says:
DO not stand on the order of selling, but
sell at once. Do not kill pork for home use,
but sell the last hog. In addition, turn in cy-
cry pig that can be fattencd by the middle of
March, and pour in the corn. Hogs may not
be as high, in March as they arc now, but they
will be high enough to pay good prlce for
corn. 1t used to be considered that barrel
of flour and one hundred pounds of pork
should bring about the same money Now
the price of one hundred pounds of pork will
buy two barrels Of -four There is something
wrong here. We have had a moderate crop
of wheat and an immense crop of corn
Therefore it would seem pork is too high or
wheat is too low This point we shall not
undertake to discuss; but it is, undoubtedly,
good time to sell.hogs. Hogs arc now sell.
ing at full s25 per head, net. The packing
at the West, it is estimated, will reach three
million head. This, at 800 per head which
is fair average, would reach $50, 200, ,oOo.-
This will go, far toward helping the people
out of debt. Sell your hogs then, farmers,
and payayour debts. This would mako mon.
ey easy, and then there would be better mar.
ket' ahd better prices for other farm pro.
ducts.
